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 Lyrics
Turin Brakes
I'm the stone you've jsut 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 drag 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?
