Turin Brakes are a modern folk pop duo comprising two friends Olly Knights and Gale Paridjanian, hailing from Balham, London, signed to the Source label. Turin Brakes have often been compared to many of the New Acoustic Movement's bands spawned in the late 90's such as Elbow, Starsailor, I Am Kloot (who actually were a support band for Turin Brakes on their Ether Song tour) and the Norwegian band the Kings of Convenience. Their debut album "The Optimist LP" (2001) was nominated for the Mercury Prize that same year. In 2003 "Ether Song" got to #3 in the UK album charts and spawned a Top 5 single "Pain Killer". Further commercial success was not achieved.

Stone Thrown Lyrics
Turin Brakes
I'm the stone you've just thrown into the ocean
How many stones have you thrown?
Turin brown, I'm going down for the very first time
Now where's the truth in this?
I dared to dream
But you were more violent than the worst hurricane
Oh take me sailing again
Oh take me sailing again
You're taking aim
Your fiery flame infects the freedom fighter
Your love was just a fucking game
So love me like my brother should
Keep me safe from harm like nobody could, yeah
I see the sorrow, it don't look too good
Oh take me sailing again
Oh take me sailing again
But here in the ocean currents dag me deeper down
But I'm the stone that can't be drowned
Oh take me sailing again
Oh take me sailing again
I'm the stone you've just thrown into the ocean
How many stones have you thrown?
