Susan Enan - Skin, Bone, and Silicone

Skin, Bone and Silicone

    Susan Enan is best known for writing and performing the song "Bring on the Wonder" which was featured in the television show Bones.  However,  the song of hers which I find th most interesting is Skin, Bone and Silicone which appears on her 2009 album Plainsong.   This song is sad and sweet and really communicates to me the quiet desperation of the character portrayed.

As always, if you know of any other cool songs by this artist or something similar in style or sentiment please leave a comment.

My song Our Bog Is Dood is closely based on the poem of the same name by Stevie Smith.    She is one of my favorite poets.   She also wrote Not Waving But Drowning which I believe is her best-known work.  (My song and video for that one are here .)   I love what one YouTuber called Stevie´s "twisted, darkly comic style."       Now about the poem, it seems pretty obvious when you read it  that "Our Bog is dood" is code for "our God is good".  Those who profess this are children, naive followers who do not question their religious beliefs but accept them blindly.   However, even between the true believers there is conflict because when it gets down to the exact details of what their God is like "They never could agree".   Religion, in the end, is an individual experience and Smith slyly illustrates this.   She also mentions intolerance for anyone who doesn´t bow down to the children´s God.   The children have their beliefs, saying   "And if y
