The emerging Irish singer-songwriter has no trouble pulling on heart strings.
If you don’t want to feel emotional about a fictional married couple that don’t actually exist then it is probably best that you avoid the gorgeous new Sammy Copley single ‘To The Bone’.
The piano-led ballad is written from the perspective of a husband who has now grown old with his wife having struggled to put the words together to articulate the way that he feels. It’s a weird feeling when a song about somebody (who doesn’t exist) struggling to write a love song for their wife (who also doesn’t exist) turns out to be one of the most potent and emotionally rousing love songs that you have heard in a while. Sammy wears this persona effortlessly, embodying the emotion and composure that his words deserve, and it is very easy to find yourself lost within its narrative as these characters come to life right before you.
Of the song’s origins – Sammy explains ““To The Bone” is the love story of a fictional old married couple, written from the perspective of a husband who has been trying to write a song for his wife their entire marriage. Inspired by The Beatrice Letters, the song is about trying to find the all the right words to articulate the depth of your love for someone. The song has received a lot of attention on TikTok with videos being made dedicating the song to partners, friends, family—even pets!”
