Neill Von Tally told Pigeons and Planes, “Bone Music is the story of a blue collar worker struggling through both work and a traditional relationship. ‘Oofda’ in particular is about the relationship our main character is in and the struggles that plague traditional long term relationships especially those strained by stressful work environments and a lack of monetary stability.”

The production is bold and innovative, featuring a fusion of dynamic rhythms, textured synths, and a driving bassline that keeps the listener engaged from start to finish.
Lyrically, “Oofda” explores themes of self-expression and navigating personal experiences with confidence and flair. The song’s narrative reflects a sense of resilience and individuality, capturing the essence of embracing one’s uniqueness in a rapidly changing world.
