From the soundtrack to episode 9 the hit Netflix series from Neil Gaiman, The Sandman, comes this excruciatingly cool new tune from Brothers Osborne. It’s ‘Skeletons’, and the animation in this music video looks like photo engravure from the 19th century brought to life. The singer has issues with the skeletons in your closet (but not with you).

The tune is from The Brothers Osborne’s new album, also entitled Skeletons.

The Lyrics

You got skeletons in your closet
It’s written all over your face
Every little lie stacked so high
Can’t keep your story straight
I don’t know-oh-oh
How they got there, it’s getting under my skin
Got skeletons in your closet
And I got bones to pick with them, oh

I was born in the morning
But I wasn’t born yesterday
Deep into your inventory’s
Gonna send me to an early grave

You got skeletons in your closet
It’s written all over your face
Every little lie stacked so high
Can’t keep your story straight
I don’t know-oh-oh
How they got there, it’s getting under my skin
Got skeletons in your closet
And I got bones to pick with them

Yeah, you got skeletons in your closet
It’s written all over your face
Every little lie stacked so high
Can’t keep your story straight
I don’t know-oh-oh
How they got there, it’s getting under my skin
Got skeletons in your closet
And I got bones to pick with
Bones to pick with
Bones to pick with them, hey!

About the Brothers Osborne

Brothers Osborne is an American country music duo consisting of brothers T.J. Osborne (lead vocals, rhythm guitar) and John Osborne (lead guitar, background vocals). Born in Deale, Maryland, the duo signed a recording contract with EMI Records Nashville in 2012 and began releasing music the following year. Their 2015 song “Stay a Little Longer” became a top five hit on the Billboard Hot Country Songs and Country Airplay charts, and their success led to the release of their debut studio album titled Pawn Shop the same year. Since then, Brothers Osborne have released the albums Port Saint Joe (2018) and Skeletons (2020).

TJ came out as gay in February of 2021, making him the first gay artist signed to a country music label. Brothers Osborne’s rollicking single “I’m Not For Everyone” was pulled from country radio in March of 2022, and the men are deflated over the unwelcome news. TJ Osborne ruffled feathers when he blurted the song’s demise during the duo’s on-camera acceptance speech during March’s ACM Awards.
