They have released three studio albums, A Book Like This (2007), which peaked at No. 6 on the ARIA Albums Chart; Down the Way (2010), reached No. 1; and their self-titled album (2014). At the ARIA Music Awards of 2010 they won five awards from nine nominations: winning Album of the Year, Best Adult Alternative Album, Best Cover Art and Producer of the Year for Down the Way and Single of the Year for "Big Jet Plane".
Released in March 2010, their album “Down The Way” debuted at #1 on Australia’s ARIA Charts enjoying a remarkable 12 months inside the ARIA Top 20 albums chart. It went on to pick up Album Of The Year at the 2010 ARIA Awards and includes the platinum selling Single Of The Year ‘Big Jet Plane’; which was most notably voted No.1 on the 2011 annual Triple j Hottest 100. The album has hit triple platinum (210,000+) sales in the Stones’ home country, the only Australian artist album to reach this milestone on the current ARIA Top 50 albums chart.
European audiences have also fallen head over heels in love with “Down The Way”. Reaching platinum (100,000+) album status in France, supported by a hugely successful film sync with ‘Big Jet Plane’ for the movie, Les Émotifs Anonymes. Extended sold out tours are not limited to native Australia with the 2011 French tour including 5 ‘Le Trianon’ Paris shows selling out 2 months before the tour commenced. The UK, Germany, Austria, Spain & Portugal are all just a taste of the frequent European tour destinations with sell out shows. In the US, their dramatic and lush soundscapes have found homes on prime time dramas; Grey’s Anatomy and Private Practice and key slots at iconic US festivals Austin City Limits, Bonnaroo and Coachella.
Travelling has been an integral part of the Stone’s musical story, so it’s not surprising they opted to record “Down The Way” in a number of diverse locations around the globe; an old sawmill on the river banks of Fowey in Cornwall, a studio in Brooklyn, a water tank in Coolangatta, London - and Queens in New York.
“Down The Way” marked their debut as producers, taking full control of their sound without losing the spirit of what made the first record ‘A Book Like This’ so special. There has been a subtle shift of gear, represented by a growing confidence in their abilities as artists and the music follows suit as it flows easily through sparse and rich textured arrangements without losing any of its etherealness and charm.
With an incredible response to “Down The Way” from all corners of the globe, Angus and Julia Stone will take some well-deserved time off and prepare for their next step along a remarkable musical journey.

All Of Me
Angus & Julia Stone Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Maybe I should have something to eat
But food wont take this emptiness away
I'm hungry for you my love
Well I made it through another day
In my cold room
On scraps and pieces left behind
All Of me is all for you
You're all I see
All of me is all for you
You're all I need
Is there a remedy for waiting
For loves victorious return
Is there a remedy for hating
Every second that I'm without you
All of me is all for you
You're all I see
All of me is all for you
You're all I need
All this life is all for love
Its the only road Ill choose
And every street and avenue
Only one will lead me back to you
One love, one love, one love
One love, one love, one love
The lyrics to Angus & Julia Stone's song All of Me primarily deal with the yearning and longing for a loved one who is not physically present. The first verse highlights the singer's inner turmoil and how external things like food cannot fill the emptiness caused by the absence of their beloved. The second verse portrays a sense of isolation as the singer spends their days alone in a cold room, surviving on memories of their loved one. The chorus repeatedly emphasizes that everything the singer is and has is for their loved one and they are all they need.
The second half of the song explores the idea of waiting and whether there is a remedy for the pain caused by being apart from someone. The lyrics suggest that love is the only thing that matters in life and the only path worth taking, as it is ultimately the only way to be reunited with the object of one's affection. The repetition of "one love" at the end of the song further emphasizes the idea that there is only one true love for the singer and no other will do.
In summary, the lyrics of All of Me express the intense emotions of love, separation, hope, and longing, while highlighting the idea that love is what gives meaning to life and is the only true path to happiness.

Amazing song. I recently lost my wife and this song hits me so hard. This was one of her favorite bands and this song is bittersweet in that it's so beautiful but it also reminds me how much I miss her. She was my life and I'm lost without her.

This used to be my favorite break up song.. I should have known that nothing could make it up for me as self love did.. that I'm whole and anything that could have hurt me before was hurting a false image that I took so long to build, protect and believe as me.
It's so beautiful to realize that everything that happened before, every heart ache, every sleepless night was leading me to finding myself after all...and oh boy, oh boy.. everybody wanna follow then, everybody wants to show up with their best versions and join me to celebrate love.
It's beautiful to know that this song triggers different feelings and thoughts in me right now where it used to be only a painful moment of rumination.
@rasyty2
My love played this song for me with the guitar, it was magical... :)))
@MallePoulsen
