Another TJ Klune book dropped, you know what that means! Dive into TJ Klune’s carefully curated playlist to get the perfect listening experience while reading The Bones Beneath My Skin.
By TJ Klune
The 90s were a weird, weird time. At the beginning of the decade, very few had cell phones or internet. By the end, many did. The 90s changed so much of how we view the world today.
And then, of course, there’s the music. Below, you’ll find twelve songs I’ve selected for The Bones Beneath My Skin playlist. For those who remember such a time, welcome back. I hope much of the music here makes you bittersweetly nostalgic. For the younger crowds, consider this a lesson in music from the 1900s. You are welcome.

The Beatles — “Hey Jude”
Hey Jude, don’t make it bad.
Take a sad song and make it better.
Soundgarden — “Black Hole Sun”
In my eyes
Indisposed
In disguises no one knows
Hides the face
Lies the snake
And the sun in my disgrace
Foo Fighters – “Everlong”
If everything could ever feel this real forever
If anything could ever be this good again
The only thing I’ll ever ask of you
You gotta promise not to stop when I say when
The Cranberries — “Dreams”
Oh, my life is changing everyday
In every possible way
And oh, my dreams
It’s never quite as it seems
Never quite as it seems
R.E.M. — “Losing My Religion”
That’s me in the corner
That’s me in the spot-light
Losing my religion
Trying to keep up with you
And I don’t know if I can do it
Oh no I’ve said too much
I haven’t said enough
The Fugees — “Killing Me Softly”
Strumming my pain with his fingers
Singing my life with his words
Killing me softly with his song
Killing me softly with his song
Telling my whole life with his words
Killing me softly with his song
INTERMISSION
Nirvana— “Smells Like Teen Spirit”
I’m worse at what I do best
And for this gift I feel blessed
Our little group has always been
And always will until the end
Radiohead — “Creep”
When you were here before
Couldn’t look you in the eye
You’re just like an angel
Your skin makes me cry
You float like a feather
In a beautiful world
I wish I was special
You’re so fucking special
Eagle-Eye Cherry — “Save Tonight”
Save tonight
And fight the break of dawn
Come tomorrow
Tomorrow I’ll be gone
Wilson Phillips — “Hold On”
Some day somebody’s gonna make you
want to turn around and say goodbye
Until then, baby, are you going to let ’em
hold you down and make you cry?
Don’t you know?
Don’t you know, things can change
Things’ll go your way
If you hold… on for one more day
Depeche Mode — “Personal Jesus”
Your own personal Jesus
Someone to hear your prayers
Someone who cares
Your own personal Jesus
Someone to hear your prayers
Someone who’s there
The Verve — “Bittersweet Symphony”
‘Cause it’s a bittersweet symphony, that’s life
Tryna make ends meet, you’re a slave to money then you die
I’ll take you down the only road I’ve ever been down
You know the one that takes you to the places where all the veins meet, yeah
Order The Bones Beneath My Skin today!
