Soccer Mommy – “Bones”

Soccer Mommy – “Bones”

Sophie Hur

A couple months ago, Sophie Allison announced her new Soccer Mommy album Sometimes, Forever. We’ve heard a couple tracks from it, including “Shotgun” and “Unholy Affliction” — both of which ranked amongst our favorite songs in their respective weeks. Today, she’s back with another one.

Soccer Mommy’s latest is called “Bones.” It’s a song she originally wrote for a rom-com, but ended up liking too much and kept it for her album rather than submit it. “Bones is a song about struggling with the parts of yourself that you don’t like in a relationship,” Allison explains. “It’s about wanting to become better for someone and feeling like you’re standing in your own way.”

“Bones” comes with a video from Alex Ross Perry, the director of Her Smell and Golden Exits and also a previous Soccer Mommy collaborator for “yellow is the color of her eyes.” Check it out below.
