I was trying to write a one-chord song.  As an exercise in sparseness and simplicity, to bring things back to the very core.  But it’s actually two chords…well, two and a bit if you count the 5-second bridge?
Stones was originally released as the B-side to the single ‘Throw It All Away’ in 2001 and went on to sell about 12 copies, probably less.  The original version had a big African drum, of some description, banging away in the background.  We’ve managed to tame that down a bit in this remastered version, but you can still hear it there in the background if you listen very closely.
It’s a bit drab, but that was the desired outcome I was looking for.
