Taste Test: Ron Pope gets lost in an ex-lover’s stunning ‘Bone Structure’
The consummate piano man wanders back through time to a summer long ago.

“It’s easy to be fooled if you aren’t paying attention,” Ron Pope speaks candidly. He reflects on a summer long ago, one riddled with lust and what he thought was an all-consuming romance. In truth, he was blinded by physical beauty. “Bone Structure” finds him musing on such a blind-sided way of thinking, and it’s both tinged with regret and wisdom. “Your bone structure made it so I couldn’t see / You were indifferent to me,” he lets it pour out of him. His heart has been wounded, and time has certainly been a trusty medication, yet the sting hurts just the same. “I’m on fire!” he later crows through a bedrock of piano and string work. Sometimes, revisiting the past is vital to growth and cathartic healing.
“Bone Structure” is the title cut to Pope’s brand new album, out everywhere now.
