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.
Spiral
Jones Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
There is order
There is method well, you know where
There is routine, nothing spare
Catch the light in a different way
And all the bullshit falls away and I
Stare, into a heart of darkness
There is no good, no evil, only me
I don't think there ever was
As for me, I feel no hate
I may believe in luck
But not in fate
Stare, into a heart of darkness
There is no good, no evil, only me
Stare, into a heart of darkness
There is no good, no evil, only me
On the wall there is a red light
When I close my eyes
I see spirals.
The lyrics to Jones's song "Spiral" convey a sense of self-awareness and introspection. The opening lines suggest that in the singer's life, there is a right time and place, order, and method. They have found a sense of routine and structure, implying a certain level of control and stability. However, the following line adds a layer of ambiguity, suggesting that there is more to this structured existence than meets the eye.
The lyrics then allude to a transformative experience: catching the light in a different way, causing all the "bullshit" to fall away. This can be interpreted as a moment of clarity or realization, where the singer is able to see past the superficialities and facades of life, peering instead into a "heart of darkness." Here, the mention of a heart of darkness does not necessarily imply sinister or evil intentions, but rather a deeper, more profound understanding of oneself.
The subsequent lines express a sense of disillusionment or skepticism towards love. The singer states that they don't believe in love anymore, questioning its existence altogether. This suggests a personal journey or experience that has led them to this conclusion. However, despite this lack of belief in love, the singer claims to feel no hate and acknowledges a belief in luck rather than fate. This juxtaposition indicates that they may have let go of certain expectations or ideals, embracing a more detached and accepting mindset.
The repeated phrase "Stare, into a heart of darkness" reinforces the idea of looking introspectively, attempting to make sense of one's own complexities and contradictions. The line "There is no good, no evil, only me" indicates a recognition that there are no absolute moral distinctions, but rather the understanding that one's actions and decisions ultimately define their character.
The concluding lines of the lyrics paint a vivid image of a red light on the wall and spirals that the singer sees when they close their eyes. This imagery can be interpreted as a representation of their internal journey and the depths of their mind. The spirals suggest a constant state of motion and change, reflecting the ongoing process of self-discovery and understanding.
Overall, the lyrics of "Spiral" by Jones invite listeners to contemplate the complexities of their own existence, challenging conventional notions of love and morality while exploring the depths of introspection and personal growth.
