8. Jones â To The Bone
by MIKE DAVIES on 11 JUNE, 2014

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 bandâs 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 âa period of instabilityâ, the lyrical content ranging between bewilderment, resigned acceptance, regret, reflection, longing and hope, the songs couched in uncluttered, simple arrangements, inspired by Paul Buchananâs Mid-Air and pared âback to the boneâ (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, heâs 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 Jonesâ work, itâll come as no surprise to hear itâs 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.
âHand on heart, I never saw this coming,â he sings on the opening lines of the albumâs bitter-sweet first track, Phil the Hat, a nostalgic reflection on friendship as he adds âletâs raise a glass to our younger selves, remembering how it used to beâ 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 âthe how and the where and the whenâ.
Underpinned by pedal steel, bells and a shuffling rhythm, Some Kind of Surrender kicks up the tempo slightly, the seeming rapprochement of âI reach out to you, reaching back to meâ offset by âwe wave ourselves goodbyeâ.
The mood oscillates throughout; on the drone-backed Books To Bed he sings âwe could discuss every word that weâve read or we could just make loveâ while the yearningly brief Man Behind The Moon details those telling signs (âthereâs something in the way you worry with your hairâ) of a fracturing relationship whereas Fireworks celebrates the hopes and dreams that light up the grey skies as he defiantly sings âIâm done with defeat, let the victories beginâ.
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 âI will walk beside you and you will know Iâm there and I will touch you gently to comfort your despairâ to a backdrop of keening pedal steel on the devotional Somewhere North Of Here and, on slow waltz Row, âI knew from the moment I saw you, that you were my forever girlâŠwill you be sailing away or âŠrow row row the boat gently back to meâ before the piano notes fade soothingly away to the sound of distant female laughter and the heart lives to beat another day.
Waterloo
Jones Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I walk alone
Don't follow me down
Underground
But you think you're falling, I've been there before
I am the ocean but you are the shore
I'll keep on walking, of this I am sure
But if I could see it through
I'd give it all to you
Carry the heart we grew
Remembering Waterloo
With you
Dreaming of you
I wake alone
Won't try to reach out
And lie to you
I could be the siren, pull you from the shore
'Cause I know you find out I've been there before
But I'll keep on going, of this I am sure
If I could see it through
I'd give it all to you
Carry the heart we grew
Remembering Waterloo
With you
Oh oh oh oh
Dreaming of you
Thinking of you
Walking alone
Dreaming of you
Thinking of you
I stand here alone
But if I could see it through (if I could see it through)
I'd give it all to you (I would give it all to you)
Carry the heart we grew (carry the heart we grew)
Remembering Waterloo
With you
The lyrics to Jones's song "Waterloo" explore the struggles of a past relationship, with the singer feeling the pangs of heartbreak and longing. The first verse sets the tone, with the singer expressing how they think of their ex-partner frequently while going about their life ("thinking of you, I walk alone"). They express the desire to move on ("Don't follow me down, underground") but also acknowledge the pain their ex-partner is feeling ("But you think you're falling, I've been there before").
In the chorus, the singer reflects on the time they spent with their ex-partner, and how they wish they could turn back time and make things different ("If I could see it through, I'd give it all to you"). The line "Remembering Waterloo" suggests that the singer is thinking back to a specific moment or event that was the turning point for their relationship. They conclude with the sentiment that, even though they can't go back in time, they still carry the memories and emotions from that relationship with them.
The second verse reiterates the singerâs feeling of loneliness and the strong desire to reconnect with their former partner. They acknowledge that they could potentially cause harm by drawing them back in ("I could be the siren, pull you from the shore"), but ultimately decide to keep moving forward alone ("But I'll keep on going, of this I am sure").
Overall, "Waterloo" is a beautifully written song that captures the complex emotions of heartbreak and nostalgia. The lyrics tell a story of a relationship that didn't quite work out but left a lasting impact on both people involved.

Thinking of you
My thoughts are consumed by thoughts of you
I walk alone
I am alone physically
Don't follow me down
Do not try to join me in my isolated state
Underground
I am emotionally buried
But you think you're falling, I've been there before
You are undergoing emotional turmoil that I have experienced previously
I am the ocean but you are the shore
My emotions are vast and consuming while yours are limited and contained
I'll keep on walking, of this I am sure
I will maintain my current path regardless of the difficulties ahead
Dreaming of you
You continue to occupy my thoughts and dreams
I wake alone
I am still without you upon waking
Won't try to reach out
I will not attempt to contact you
And lie to you
Only to deceive you
I could be the siren, pull you from the shore
I could manipulate and attract you toward me
'Cause I know you find out I've been there before
However, I know that you will eventually discover that I am not as I seem
But I'll keep on going, of this I am sure
Despite this knowledge, I will continue on my current path
Oh oh oh oh
Musical interlude
I stand here alone
Continuing to be by myself
If I could see it through
If I could accomplish my goal
I'd give it all to you
I would give everything I have to you
Carry the heart we grew
Preserving the love that was shared between us
Remembering Waterloo
Reflecting back on a defining moment in our relationship
With you
Ideally, you would be with me during this contemplation
