Jo the Man The Music – Soft Skin
Somewhere in a shabby sublet during her first weeks in Berlin, Jo The Man The Music picked up her guitar and wrote a song. One that has grown so close to her over time, that it’s almost impossible to say which came first: the Jo The Man The Music project or the song “Soft Skin.”
Between a search for belonging and the isolation from the familiar, Jo has found a melody that is her own. Take a guitar, a handful of emotionally rich words, and a voice like a fleece sweater.
It crackles and crunches.
“Kids are mean, so are men
With guitars in their hands
Make me wish to be like them
Don’t you think that I could be your man?”
