What is invincible? What do you have in your life that will not be damaged, no matter what? There are a lot of possible answers to this question. Hopefully, one answer that would come to mind is love. In the song, “The Bones,” Maren Morris and Hozier, sing about a relationship that is invincible. This relaxing, upbeat song makes us think about our relationships and how stable they really are.
In the first verse of the song, they sing, “Life sure can try to put love through it, but we built this right, so nothing’s ever gonna move it…” These lyrics have such a great meaning. Morris and Hozier accept that life will throw things at us, testing the strength of love in our relationships, but their lyrics tell us that if our relationships are built on a firm foundation, then nothing life throws at us can damage them.
In the chorus of “The Bones,” they peacefully sing, “When there ain’t a crack in the foundation, baby, I know any storm we’re facing will blow right over while we stay put. The house don’t fall when the bones are good…” This is practically the moral of their song. When we have relationships that have a solid foundation, without any slight cracks, there will never be any doubt in “if the love is strong enough.” The house, as in the relationship, will make it through through the rough times because the love is invincible. Then, because you can have security in your relationship, that is where it grows even farther.
So many relationships nowadays don’t even make it to a month because they aren’t stable enough. To have good bones in a relationship, we need to grow together, trust each other, make sacrifices, put an effort in to make the other person happy, but most importantly, we need to love unconditionally. Whenever a relationship has those things, then we can truly sing “The Bones” like it is our life anthem because, “when the bones are good, the rest don’t matter.”
