Dry Bones performed by Sindy Skinless and the Decomposers

  • 10 years ago
For this song, Sindy and the gang traveled to an Ossuary in Sedlec, a suburb of Kutna Hora in the Czech Republic. In 1776 a local priest, founded a little church, laying its foundation of a human skull and leg bones. All the bones belonged to victims of the Silesian wars and epidemics. The building contains approximately 40,000 human skeletons of which were arranged as decorations and furnishings for the chapel, not counting the ones Sindy and the Decomposers brought with them.

They thought this would be a great place to sing their rendition of the well known spiritual song, "Dry Bones" composed by songwriter James Weldon Johnson, and inspired by Ezekiel 37: 1-14, where the Prophet visits the "Valley of Dry Bones".
