Little Stone

Liner Notes
Ugh. Been depressed and haven't done any music lately. This is a bit of a hot mess, but at least I did it.
Kinda wanted to do a System of a Down type thing for the end.
I have no idea why the drums in the second half are the wrong tempo. It doesn't do that in Ableton, so idk. Forget it. It's gone.
Lyrics
Little stone Tumbling down A raging river
Little parts Tumble their way Right off
Hard to believe This little stone Was once a great mountain
Now smooth And tame It fits right in my palm
Little stone Little stone Do you remember Where you come from?
Little stone Little stone Do you remember The power you once held?

Phew! I'm so glad you're back, and I love the sound of this. (I'm a sucker for fuzzed-out guitar.) The idea of the stone's evolution is very cool.

Cool lyrical concept. I like idea of a little stone making a long journey. Nice one!

I think this is a great skirmish and you should be proud of it. I really like the vocal line and the lyrics are really powerful. I love the end.

I really liked the vibe of this song and how you interpreted the prompt. I especially enjoyed the ending where you were asking the stone if it remembers where it came from and the power it once held.

I dig it! Guitar and vocals sound great as usual! And well, I guess drums do as drums do...
