Songfacts®:

• This is the opening track of Peace, Demon Hunter's 10th studio album. The record was released together with War on March 1, 2019. Peace is the more melodic of the two discs, contrasting with War's heavy metalcore sound.
• The idea behind the song is the way music preserves life after death. Frontman Ryan Clark told Kerrang he was inspired by the passing of artists like David Bowie, Prince and Chris Cornell. He thought that although it was tragic to lose them, they have left behind a wonderful catalog of music. "There might be people generations from now who listen to this music," the vocalist added, "and it really helps them and changes their life in some positive way."
  
  "'More Than Bones,'" Clark continued, "is basically saying that when I leave this earth, I'll leave you more than bones - I'll leave you all of my thoughts and all of my hopes and dreams and my desire to connect and resonate with people through this music."
