Stones

A heavy-hearted exploration of fame and displacement. Intimate acoustic guitars swell into massive orchestral arrangements anchored by a singular, gravelly baritone.

It's the record where Neil Diamond gets real about being lonely at the top.

A grand, orchestral meditation on loneliness and the search for home.

I Am… I Said (reprise)
2:32
Moments Worth Waiting For
The desperate, cracked delivery of the line 'not even the chair' in the opening track.
The sudden, percussive energy shift of Crunchy Granola Suite breaking the album's somber spell.
The way the reprise of I Am... I Said fades into a vulnerable, unfinished thought.
