Off.tv’s no-frills approach really pays off in this unplugged clip, as Michael Kiwanuka proves no studio or full-band accompaniment is needed to get this Home Again cut off the ground. There’s something that happens during the best live takes — an inspired lift, of sorts — midway through, and Michael seems to hit on that je ne sais quoi here. Or perhaps “Bones” is just a tune that can always find its way. Above, watch him bring it home… again.
