attention of upcoming producers Mike Chan and Bobby Campbell. Chan and Campbell, who then were writing music themselves and in need of a vocalist, invited Hall for a jam session, and in March 2008, South Jordan was formed.
The demo's by South Jordan attracted the attention of Farm Fresh Studio owner Jacob Belser, who invited them to his studio to record their 'Only Halfway' EP. (Coming out late July on iTunes and Amazon Music)
Mike hails from Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, Bobby from Hagerstown, Indiana and Hall from Chicago, Illinois. Given their various backgrounds and influences, each member brings something of their own to the group. This is demonstrated in their 6 track EP, where songs deviate from upbeat to epic.
South Jordan has a rigorous performing schedule ahead of them in the Fall. They will perform both acoustic and full-band shows within the MidWest region and fulfill their dream of bringing their brand of music to the masses.
South Jordan's current line up still include Michael David Hall on vocals, Bobby Campbell on keyboards and guitar, Benton Kubicki on bass, and Jesse Feister on drums. Their full length album, Keep Calm and Carry On, debuts December 20, 2011.
Skin and Bones
South Jordan Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Come on get out you're hiding in disguise
You're skin and bones
You're skin and bones
Tremble you are frightened of the sudden moves
Fearful he likes
One by one he's got you now
Hide the broken soul that you're wearing now
Tears go unseen
Where's your pride when you need it the most
Come on get out save yourself from the lies
Come on get out you're hiding in disguise
Come on get out he's trying to deceive
Come on get out don't struggle to believe
You're skin and bones (x4)
She lost her sense of hope
Not trying hard to battle back
She hears whispers
Telling her the time is now
They say
Come on get out save yourself from the lies
Come on get out you're hiding in disguise
Come on get out he's trying to deceive
Come on get out don't struggle to believe
He was your doomed romance
He was your last mistake
He tried to haunt you down
He called you dear just so you'd forget that you're
You're skin and bones (x4)
She's dying can't you see now
She's grasping for her last breath now
Come on get out save yourself from the lies
Come on get out you're hiding in disguise
Come on get out he's trying to deceive
Come on get out don't struggle to believe
Come on get out save yourself from the lies
Come on get out you're hiding in disguise
Come on get out he's trying to deceive
Come on get out don't struggle to believe
You're skin and bones (x4)
The song "Skin and Bones" by South Jordan seems to be about a woman who is struggling in a relationship with a man who is deceiving her. She has lost hope and is barely holding on, as evidenced by the line "She's dying, can't you see now? She's grasping for her last breath now." The woman is urged to "get out" and save herself from the lies and deceit of her partner. The line "he called you dear just so you'd forget that you're...skin and bones" suggests that the man may be using manipulation tactics to control the woman and make her feel like she needs him.
Throughout the song, the woman is described as "skin and bones," which could be interpreted literally as her physical health deteriorating or as a metaphor for her emotional state. The repetition of the phrase "skin and bones" emphasizes the woman's vulnerability and the urgency of the situation.
Overall, the song seems to be a plea for the woman to leave the toxic relationship and find the strength to save herself.
