8. Jones – To The Bone
by MIKE DAVIES on 11 JUNE, 2014
in FOLK | ROOTS | AMERICANA ALBUM REVIEWS
Under both his solo soubriquet and as Miracle Mile, erstwhile teacher singer-songwriter Trevor Jones has a thing for break-up albums. Loss and the collapse of a relationship anchored both of his band’s last two releases and was a constant presence on his two previous solo albums. The same applies here on To The Bone, a collection of songs born of what he calls “a period of instability”, the lyrical content ranging between bewilderment, resigned acceptance, regret, reflection, longing and hope, the songs couched in uncluttered, simple arrangements, inspired by Paul Buchanan’s Mid-Air and pared “back to the bone” (the writing process and the therapeutic nature of silence documented in the part-spoken Cabin Fever) to mirror the rawness of the emotions.
As ever, he’s joined by regular contributor Melvin Duffy on pedal steel and dobro as well as Miracle Mile partner Marcus Cliffe, who shares production and arrangement credits as well as playing everything else save acoustic guitar. For those familiar with Jones’ work, it’ll come as no surprise to hear it’s hushed and melancholic, his gift for folk and country shaded melody and open-heart lyrics undimmed, his soft, dusty tones variously evocative of Martyn Joseph, Ricky Ross. Paddy McAloon and the more wistful side of Costello. For those yet to discover him, these are just some of the pleasures in store.
“Hand on heart, I never saw this coming,” he sings on the opening lines of the album’s bitter-sweet first track, Phil the Hat, a nostalgic reflection on friendship as he adds “let’s raise a glass to our younger selves, remembering how it used to be” and sets the tone for what follows. Both etched out on piano, in the achingly tender Dream Horses memories provide both solace and hurt while the descending scales of Pardon Me addresses the confusion of being blindsided as he replays every detail of “the how and the where and the when”.
Underpinned by pedal steel, bells and a shuffling rhythm, Some Kind of Surrender kicks up the tempo slightly, the seeming rapprochement of “I reach out to you, reaching back to me” offset by “we wave ourselves goodbye”.
The mood oscillates throughout; on the drone-backed Books To Bed he sings “we could discuss every word that we’ve read or we could just make love” while the yearningly brief Man Behind The Moon details those telling signs (“there’s something in the way you worry with your hair”) of a fracturing relationship whereas Fireworks celebrates the hopes and dreams that light up the grey skies as he defiantly sings “I’m done with defeat, let the victories begin”.
Elsewhere, Lucinda Drayton adds vocals to the soulful Angelicana, an Americana-shaded number about a restless spirit featuring slide guitar and, perhaps, a passing hint of Just My Imagination, Glimpsed And Gone is a piano instrumental behind which can be heard the sound of a police siren and the title track features the sort of Celtic choral chorus to have the crowd swaying with their scarves on the terraces of Bruised Romantics Utd.
Having weathered the storm, the album closes on a hopeful note with light peering through the clouds; Jones singing “I will walk beside you and you will know I’m there and I will touch you gently to comfort your despair” to a backdrop of keening pedal steel on the devotional Somewhere North Of Here and, on slow waltz Row, “I knew from the moment I saw you, that you were my forever girl…will you be sailing away or …row row row the boat gently back to me” before the piano notes fade soothingly away to the sound of distant female laughter and the heart lives to beat another day.
Hey
Jones Lyrics

What up
Whats up
What up mama
Turn me up (uh)
She kinda pretty tho
She kinda fresh
My first thought
But never mind that
I need to approach her
Show her that I’m interested
Before I’m sidetracked
Cause you can buy views
But you can’t buy back
An opportunity to get a girls contact
Without a contract
You just a lame duck
waiting to get chose in the club
By a good woman
Maybe she bad though
But I don’t see the signs
Music too loud
It sounds like Police sirens
She like “Roxanne”
I turn her lights on
And when life gets real
Shoulder to cry on
I know a lot of dudes cold
Like cryogenics
But I’m one of the good ones
So trust in it
And I know a lot of guys
Are trying to cut
But I’m a take the back-end
Give me my percentage
Hey You (alright, alright)
Im loving the way you move (I know, I know)
I swear its something bout you
That takes me away
Takes me away
Hey You (hello)
Im loving the way you move (I know, I know)
I swear its something bout you (alright, alright)
That takes me away
Takes me away
Yo..
What up, What up world
What up, What up, What up girl
What up, What up, What up, What up
Now I know I ain’t pushing a Lambo
But please baby girl just take this sample
You looking warm like some soup from Campbell’s
And if I can’t corny girl
Don’t change my channel
Cause
Cause this girl
She rockin’ all the best gear
style retro but she looking so next year
I got her number
Ill call her when the times right
Maybe I wait too long
Maybe thats hindsight
Maybe she’s my future
Maybe I remind her of her past
Maybe I think to far ahead of her simple ass
I treat her Goodie Mob
Baby we OutKast’s
Baby don’t be offended
Im just a Grouch-ass (Grouch ass)
Slouch-ass
Don’t leave the house ass (house ass)
So excuse me for staring at your blouse mama
I know you wanna
Dip into Nirvrana
But first we gotta kill all the drama
Hey You (what up..)
Im loving the way you move
I swear its something bout you
That takes me away
Takes me away
Hey You (what up, what up, what up)
Im loving the way you move (alright, alright, alright)

That takes me away
Takes me away
Yo

Im loving the way you move

The song "Hey" by Jones is a smooth and catchy track with lyrics that revolve around the artist's attraction to a beautiful woman in a club. The song opens up with the artist admiring the woman's beauty and thinking about how he should approach her before losing his chance. Jones stresses the importance of making a move while you still can because, while you can buy fame and success, you can't buy an opportunity to connect with someone romantically. He later assures the girl that he is a good guy, unlike other men who might be trying to get with her. Jones also talks about his relatively humble beginnings and uses his down-to-earth attitude as a selling point for the girl to consider dating him.
The song's chorus reinforces the artist's attraction to the woman's movements and energy, despite arguably shallow social factors like appearance or material wealth. Jones seems to see something in her that transcends these things, something that can "take him away" from his current surroundings. The second verse continues the first verse's themes of attachment, expressing Jones's regret for possibly waiting too long to make a move, wondering if he will remind her of past experiences or if she sees a future with him. The bridge of the song is a repetitive call to follow Jones, promising to take the woman "away" with him, with a playful end note about watching Star Wars together.
Overall, the song's lyrics touch on relatable experiences of trying to connect with someone and potentially losing out on a chance for a romantic relationship. Jones's smooth delivery and presence make the song very enjoyable and engaging to listen to.
