Flesh and Bone

Not only is 'Skins' one of my favourite tv shows ever (apart from series 5 and 6), but they also have an absolutely incredible soundtrack. I cannot express how much I love the shows songs, as it is such a mixture of genres, as well as a combination of old and new songs. For example, one of the songs that I really like is 'Totally Wired' which is by The Fall, a band that my dad and I have listened to quite a few times and 'Totally Wired' is probably both of our favourites. The Fall are from the late 1970's (like Joy Division) and were a punk band. This contrasts greatly to the song that I'm featuring on today's post.

'Flesh and Bone' is a song by Brendan Benson, a contemporary singer-songwriter. It begins with beautiful strumming of the guitar which is then accompanied by the almost-lullubye sounding voice of Benson, which is then followed by the heartbeat drums and the harmonising of vocals which is just so lovely. It is a wonderful song to listen to when you are exhausted and late at night and you just want to drift off into space for a bit (which is how I feel at the moment, hence the song choice and the short post). So I hope you enjoy the song as much as I do, especially the final chorus in the last 20 seconds.
