‘Made Of Stone‘ by THE STONE ROSES

The stellar lead single of their eponymous debut album – one of the best longplayers
ever to Turn Up The Volume‘s ears – ‘Made Of Stone‘ was released 30 years ago today,
on 6 March 1989, but didn’t chart. The lovely ‘Going Down‘, a tribute to expressionist painter Jackson Pollok was on the B-side. The single came out on their first, small,
record label Silvertone Records and became a Roses classic over the years.

Here we go…

Sometimes I fantasize
When the streets are cold and lonely
And the cars they burn below me
Don’t these times fill your eyes
When the streets are cold and lonely
And the cars, they burn below me
Are you all alone?
Is anybody home?

One of the best concerts I ever witnessed – even Ian Brown sang in key. A special, magic experience. It was an all-nighter. Me and a friend stayed until 6 in the morning until the venue closed. Then we went for a pizza and coffee in a small 24/7 resto. Then we took the metro to Victoria Station. Train to Dover. Ferry to Calais. And with the car back to Belgium.
