In 2007 they recorded their first, self-produced album, Zoo. This also is available for free download.
The peculiar line-up (baritone sax messed about by effects, two strings slide bass guitar, voice and drums) obviously reminds of Mark Sandman's Morphine, the band's main source of inspiration, though their musical style is firmly rock oriented, with a precise identity of its own both in lyrics and arrangements.

Speak
The Bone Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Our summer day withers away
Too soon, too soon.
Speak low when you speak, love,
Our moment is swift, like ships adrift,
We're swept apart too soon.
Love is a spark lost in the dark,
Too soon, too soon,
I feel wherever I go
That tomorrow is near, tomorrow is here
And always too soon.
Time is so old and love so brief,
Love is pure gold and time a thief.
We're late darling, we're late,
The curtain descends, ev'rything ends
Too soon, too soon,
I wait darling, I wait
Will you speak low to me,
Speak love to me and soon.
The Bone's song "Speak Low" is a love song that encourages lovers to speak softly and to cherish every fleeting moment spent together.

The second verse talks about the ephemeral nature of life and how love often ends too soon. The bridge of the song contrasts the brevity of love with the infinite nature of time, and expresses the regret of not having enough time to fully appreciate and enjoy the love that was shared.
The lyrics of "Speak Low" are delicately crafted and poetically intense, conveying the message of the song in a truly beautiful manner. The song urges lovers to speak softly and lovingly, to take the time to fully experience and appreciate the fleeting moments of life.

Line by Line Meaning
Speak low when you speak, love,
Whisper softly when you express your love,
Our summer day withers away
The warm season when love seems to flourish is coming to an end,
Too soon, too soon.
The end has come sooner than we wanted,
Our moment is swift, like ships adrift,
Our time together is fleeting, like boats carried by the current,
We're swept apart too soon.
We're separated before we're ready,
Love is a spark lost in the dark,
Love can be extinguished quickly and easily, especially when not nurtured,
Too soon, too soon,
It's over before we know it,
I feel wherever I go
I can't escape the feeling that time is running out,
That tomorrow is near, tomorrow is here
The future arrives before we've had a chance to enjoy the present,
And always too soon.
Time moves faster than we'd like it to,
Time is so old and love so brief,
In the grand scheme of things, love is fleeting compared to the longevity of time,
Love is pure gold and time a thief.
While love is valuable, time steals it away from us,
We're late darling, we're late,
We didn't act quickly enough to make the most of our time together,
The curtain descends, ev'rything ends
The end has arrived and our time together has come to a close,
Too soon, too soon,
It's over before we know it,
I wait darling, I wait
I'm biding my time, hoping for another chance to be together,
Will you speak low to me,
Will you whisper words of love to me, gently,
Speak love to me and soon.
Express your love to me before it's too late.
