It’s time to share my annual Valentine’s Day mixtape. Today’s song “The Bones” is a romantic song about the endurance of love. The song comes from Maren Morris‘ 2019 album GIRL and Morris wrote the song about her then-husband Ryan Hurd. The couple finalized their divorce early this year. “The Bones” talks about the foundation of a solid relationship. The song compares a relationship to a house’s structure and a human’s bones. Focus on the Family‘s Plugged In magazine praised the song for portraying a stable marital relationship. Unfortunately, Morris’ marriage ended leaving listeners to wonder how solid the foundation was. But ultimately, “The Bones” is a song about a good relationship, even if it was just a period in a relationship. Even though, for Morris and Hurd, love didn’t last, the song doesn’t doom all relationships and maybe even holds a key out of the hard times.
