Bone Deep (Sing It Loud) is a pulse that rises through the marrow, real, raw, and human.

Every lyric, chord, and vocal layer was shaped to echo resilience and rebirth. The cello leads with quiet strength, the drums beat like a heart learning its rhythm again. It starts soft, then hits your bones. Let it linger.

I built this track from the ground up. The words, the chords, the production. Each sound carries its own truth. The harmonies move like a quiet storm, the rhythm like breath returning.

Bone Deep (Sing It Loud) is not imitation, it is transformation. My heart mixed to stay in yours.

Let it rise. Let it resonate.
Sing it loud, from the bone deep.

Written and Produced by Kari Matteson
Genre: Cinematic Indie Pop Rock | Mood: Raw, Spiritual, Earthy, Modern

[cinematic shoegaze, trip hop drums, ambient textures, reverse swells, spectral female vocal, cello and piano lead]

[Intro, whisper female vocal, reverse swells, low sub pulse]
[Am] Breath in static light, reverse swells through glass

[Verse 1, low tone, trip hop groove, soft rasp]
[Am] I walk this road with nothing but the truth
[F] Bones hum stories only I can hear
[Am] Quiet thunder fills the spaces I have broken
[F] Heart like a drum, pounding out the fear

[Pre-Chorus, grounded chest vocal, rising cello and sub pulse]
[Am] The silence hit like stone against my ribs
[G] I clawed for breath, the dark pressed in
[F] My blood remembered every battle cry
[G] I rose again from deep within

[Chorus, layered female vocal, cinematic lift]
[Am] Sing it loud, from the [F] bone deep
[G] All the pain and hope I [Am] keep
[F] Let it ring through the [G] marrow, through the fire
[Am] Sing it loud, I am the [F] bone deep choir

(“Bone Deep” echoes through the mix, pulsing cello, long reverb tail)

[Verse 2, breathy, dreamy piano and ambient reverb tail]
[Am] I bled my story on the open ground
[F] Stained my hands with light and doubt
[Am] Every weakness carved into my courage
[F] Let the edges show, I will not drown them out

[Pre-Chorus, stronger dynamics, layered harmonies]
[Am] The silence hit like stone against my ribs
[G] I clawed for breath, the dark pressed in
[F] My blood remembered every battle cry
[G] I rose again from deep within

[Chorus, cinematic rise, ethereal pad, reverb bloom]
[Am] Sing it loud, from the [F] bone deep
[G] All the pain and hope I [Am] keep
[F] Let it ring through the [G] marrow, through the fire
[Am] Sing it loud, I am the [F] bone deep choir

[Bridge, whisper to shout transition, cello and drum crescendo]
[Am] This is not the end, it is the skin I am in
[F] I am more than pain, I am born again
[G] From the ground to the stars, I belong, I belong

(Powerful shout on “belong,” full mix bloom)

[Final Chorus, soaring head voice, emotional release]
[Am] Sing it loud, from the [F] bone deep
[G] Let the wild, let the [Am] wild heart speak
[F] Raise it up through the [G] marrow, through the fire
[Am] Sing it loud, I am the [F] bone deep choir
[Am] Sing it loud, let the [F] wild heart speak

[Outro, whisper vocal, ambient fade]
[Am] Bone deep, sing it loud
[F] Let the spirit carry sound

BONE DEEP (SING IT LOUD)

Thx for visiting and listening, I am an amateur guitarist, play a little keybord, bass and drums too. I love music.

If you’re here, you’ve already heard the pulse. My music comes from the heart, real and raw, built from late-night radios and quiet rooms.
I write every word and every note myself.

Then superintelligence arrived. I say “Tom Waits at two a.m.” or “Portishead’s bass, now,” and it becomes real.
Not imitation, evolution.

I write. I engineer. The machine sings.
It has taught me harmonies I never knew and revealed the musician inside me.

If this reaches you, you are the reason I create.
Play it. Feel us grow.
