1. Elmo Kennedy O'Connor, known professionally as Bones, is an American rapper from Howell, Michigan. He is notable for the frenetic pace at which he releases new music, including over 40 mix tapes and 88 music videos since 2011, and his resistance to signing with a major record label or charging money for his music despite significant popularity and label interest. Born to a mother who designed clothing and a father who was a web designer. His grandfather was actor Robert Culp. When Bones was 7 years old, his family moved to Howell, Michigan. When he was 16, he dropped out of high school and moved to Los Angeles where his brother, Elliott, had already been living.
He has collaborated on three tracks with Raider Klan member Eddy Baker, including “High”, “Delinquents”, and “PayPal” off of Bones's albums Saturn (2013), Creep (2013), and Garbage (2014). Bones also performs and collaborates often with Xavier Wulf and another former Raider Klan member Chris Travis. Bones is 1 of the 4 members in the collective Seshollowaterboyz, which consists of Him (Bones), Xavier Wulf, Chris Travis, and Eddy Baker.
In 2014, Bones self-released 5 mixtapes through his label TeamSesh, including Garbage, which received coverage and critical acclaim from notable publications including The Fader, Pigeons & Planes, and RESPECT.
Bones headlined a sold out show at the House of Blues in Los Angeles on March 4, 2015. and opened for Shlohmo at The Fonda Theatre in Los Angeles on May 7, 2015. The hook from Bones' song "Dirt" was featured in ASAP Rocky's "Canal St." on the 2015 At. Long. Last. ASAP album.
On September 17, 2015, Bones performed "Canal St." with ASAP Rocky on the Jimmy Kimmel Live! show but was cut from the TV broadcast. Videos of the performance were made available online. Bones and his manager Elliott O’Connor, who is also his brother, have both stated that major labels have shown interest in signing him but he has declined up to this point. According to Max Bell of LA Weekly, "interested labels wanted him to be their 'white rapper,' an artist along the lines of Mac Miller and Machine Gun Kelly. But Bones wasn't interested in being remade.
2. Bones are a death metal band from Belgium, with two releases on Bandcamp, and an EP "Gate Of Night" out soon on Blood Harvest Records. Lineup: Stef (guitars/vocals), Jeroen (lead guitars/vocals), Viktor (drums), Laurens (bass).
3. Bones are a 3-piece death metal punk band from Chicago, with two releases on Bandcamp and a third currently being recorded. Originally members of the 90s thrash band Usurper, Bones compromises of Joe Warlord (drums), Carcass Chris (guitar), and Jon Necromancer (bass & vox).
4. Part performance artist, part ego drenched rock star, Bones rips delta blues with punks intensity, and throws in a little stripper jazz for colour. With the delivery of a storefront preacher, The Man Named Bones (the alter ego of one Michael Miller) sings, screams and growls Sex, Drugs and Rock and Roll with tongue firmly in cheek. Armed with an upright bass, an electric guitar, a sampler and a drum machine, Bones is a one man blues/punk machine.
5. Bones was an untitled noise project released on the French static noise / HNW label Slow Death Music, believed to by Julien Skrobek.

Bones Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm screaming again cause I'm in love
My veins couldn't handle the antidote
My body seems to be on fire
Your smile baby is my biggest desire
Shout my name
Tonight honey you'll be mine
Shout my name
Shout my name
I'll make you my till you count to nine
I'm screaming again to get your attention
My eyes spark from your hot tension
You'll fall into my trap so don't resist
There's nothing you can do that's why I insist
Shout my name
Shout my name
Tonight honey you'll be mine
Shout my name....
Shout my name
Shout my name
Shout my name
Shout my name......
Shout my name
Shout my name
Tonight honey you'll be mine
Shout my name
Shout my name
I'll make you my till you count to nine
Shout my name
Shout my name
Tonight honey you'll be mine
Shout my name

The lyrics to Bones's song "Shout" seem to be about a person who is deeply infatuated with someone else and will do anything to make them theirs. The first verse talks about how the person is so enamored by the other's smile that they feel like they are on fire. They are screaming to get the other person's attention and want to make them their own. The chorus is all about shouting the person's name so that they will be theirs, and promises that they will make them count to nine. The second verse continues this theme of wanting the other person to fall into their trap and insists that there is nothing they can do to resist.
The lyrics are quite straightforward and suggest a desire for control and possession over the other person. The repetition of the phrase "shout my name" reinforces this idea of wanting to be heard and acknowledged by the other person. The counting to nine also adds a sense of dominance and control, as if they are making the other person submit to their wishes.
Overall, the song seems to be a representation of infatuation and the lengths people will go to in order to make someone else theirs. It's a song about desire and control, but it's also a rather simple expression without much depth or complexity to it.
