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.

Here We Go Again
Angus & Julia Stone Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It's only a doorway away
You know what they say about getting colder
In the middle of the day
You can live in the corner of my room
And I will live somewhere between the ceiling and the wall
And if I need anything at all
That's what I'll do
Oh here we go again
Oh here we go again
Oh here we go again
Oh here we go again
I'll sit out on the front sofa while your hands they talk to me
All of this dragging around it's not as fun as it used to be
Oh here we go again
Oh here we go again
Oh here we go again
Oh here we go again
All that I wanted all that I needed
All that I wanted all that I needed
Oh here we go again
Oh here we go again
Oh here we go again
Oh here we go again
The opening lines of Angus & Julia Stone's "Here We Go Again" provide commentary on the inevitability of change in life. The first line states, "You know what they say about getting older, it's only a doorway away." The reference to a "doorway" implies that aging is not something that can be avoided or ignored, but rather a natural progression that will eventually need to be confronted. The second line, "You know what they say about getting colder in the middle of the day," further solidifies the idea that with age comes physical and emotional decline.
The second verse references a sense of isolation and loneliness that often comes with aging. The lyrics suggest that the singer is willing to share their personal space with another person, even if it means living in close proximity to one another. The vulnerability of needing someone close is reiterated in the line "If I need anything at all, I'll call out to you. That's what I'll do." This vulnerability is juxtaposed against the repetition of the song's refrain, "Oh here we go again," which suggests resignation and acceptance of the inevitable changes that will come.
Overall, "Here We Go Again" is a bittersweet reflection on the challenges of aging and the importance of human connection in navigating those challenges. The song's slow, melancholic melody and emotive vocals reinforce the idea that while change may be difficult, it is an essential part of the human experience.

I'll call out to you
I will rely on you for guidance and companionship.

All that I wanted all that I needed

Oh here we go again
I am once again experiencing a cycle of disappointment and longing.
