Writing again with his longtime collaborator and wife, Kathleen Brennan, Waits acknowledges writing ‘darker’ material saying “A great many songs live there, so that’s where I’ve been digging lately.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWaits calls the songs on\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003eBone Machine\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e“little movies for the ears.” He sometimes wrote them entirely from a percussion pattern—which he played on array of largely homemade instruments. One, the “conundrum,” was rusted pieces of farm equipment hung from a large iron crucifix. As Waits explained at the time, “I have a lot of very strong rhythmic impulses, but this is not my world. I just pick something up and I hit it, and if I like the sound, it goes on. Sometimes my idiot approach serves the music.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMortality is a recurrent theme, from “\u003cstrong\u003eDirt In The Ground\u003c\/strong\u003e” (\"We're all gonna be. . .\") to “\u003cstrong\u003eAll Stripped Down\u003c\/strong\u003e,” “\u003cstrong\u003eThe Ocean Doesn't Want Me\u003c\/strong\u003e” (a tale of contemplated suicide), “\u003cstrong\u003eJesus Gonna Be Here\u003c\/strong\u003e,” the rambunctious paean to childhood, “\u003cstrong\u003eI Don't\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWanna\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGrow Up\u003c\/strong\u003e,” and certainly the broken-hearted, confessional classic Waits ballad, “\u003cstrong\u003eWhistle Down The Wind\u003c\/strong\u003e.” Waits explained at the time: “Yeah, ultimately, it will be a subject that you deal with.
