Crossbone

“Crossbone” is a song by American singer-songwriter Joshua Ketchmark. It is the tenth track from his tenth studio album Blood and was released as the record’s sixth single on May 5, 2023.

The video for the song was shot, directed and edited by Ketchmark.

Inspired by the resilience of those who chase their dreams through thick and thin, ‘Crossbone’ is a poignant reflection on the power of determination and the relentless pursuit of something more. Ketchmark’s lyrics capture the essence of the human spirit, encapsulating the highs and lows that come with the pursuit of one’s dreams.

“The melodies that come from Joshua Ketchmark always catch me off guard and ‘Crossbone’ was no different. The lyrics push with the highs and drop with the lows, keeping you on your guard but always open for more. When the chorus comes around and they line up with the beat, it’s all you can do to keep yourself from smiling that same ol’ blues smile. Lights, colors and feeling. Joshua Ketchmark has mastered all three aspects of brilliant blues music and all of them come together to great effect in ‘Crossbone.’ It’s a true modern blues staple you need to listen to.” TJLP News
