Eno, presenting his forthcoming solo album at the Russian Museum's Marble Palace last Saturday, said "Bone Bomb" was inspired by a newspaper story about a Palestinian girl who becomes a suicide bomber. On the same page there was an article by a Israeli doctor who explained that wounds from the scenes of suicide bombs are often caused by tiny fragments of the bomber's bones, which embed themselves like shrapnel in the people around.

"These articles were on the same page, and I thought what a combination of tragedies these represent, so I wrote the song with words from the articles," Eno said.

"Bone Bomb," sung by Aylie Cooke, is the last song on "Another Day on Earth," which has an exclusive early release date in Russia.

Eno said he made "Bone Bomb" the final track on the album because it's emotionally brutal and he did not want to follow the style of television news where horrible news is often closed with a lighter, life-asserting story of a "cat that was saved," for example, from up a tree.

"The main reason that I put it at the end of the album was because nothing can follow it," he said.
