about

‘Bone of Contention’ is the first release from Laura Fell's debut LP, 'Safe from Me' (due out on 20th Nov '20). Incredibly refined, ‘Bone of Contention’ shares the elegance of a painting that stands proudly at the top of a stately home staircase, more hidden details emerging with each glance - the airy synths, sweeping strings and the richness of Fell’s Aldous Harding-echoing vocal dawning on you with every play.

“Bone of Contention is an exercise in anger, really. I’ve always struggled to feel anger without also feeling out of control, and therefore disempowered. What this song is about is allowing myself to sit with my anger, and ending up finding clarity and power within it,” Fell explains.

lyrics

Something tells me that you know what you are doing
You’ve done this before
When people make you important
Does that settle some score?

Oh I’ve an axe to grind
A grudge to bear
A bone to pick with you
Ooh Ooh Ooh

And I’ll ask you to spare me
Your bullshit about being betrayed
And to give you the benefit of the doubt
I’ll assume that you lie when afraid

Oh I’ve an axe to grind
A grudge to bear
A bone to pick with you
Ooh Ooh Ooh

So continue to live in your narrative –
Hell, tell whoever you like
Cause those who matter know the truth of it
So I won’t bother to fight

But between me and him
Between he and I
Between us two
The bone of contention is you
