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.

Please You
Angus & Julia Stone Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
She's just dying to meet you
She's just dying to meet you
She won't leave till it's done
She won't leave till it's done
She's just dying to please you
She's just dying to please you
She won't leave till it's done
She won't leave till it's done
She bring the light shining down
She bring the light shining down
Want you bring the light shining down
Need you to bring the light shining down
You just dying to love her
You just dying to love her
You just dying to love her
You won't leave till it's done
You won't leave till it's done
I bring the light shinging down
She bring the light shining down
Want you bring the light shining down
I need you to bring the light shining down
The lyrics of Angus & Julia Stone's "Please You" are open to interpretation, but they seem to describe a woman who is eager to meet and please someone who is hesitant to return her affection. The repeated phrases "She's just dying to meet you" and "She's just dying to please you" express her intense desire to be with this person and make them happy. The line "She won't leave till it's done" could suggest that she will persist in her efforts until she achieves her goal.
The second half of the song addresses the person she is fixated on, telling them that they are "just dying to love her." However, the repetition of "You won't leave till it's done" suggests a sense of obligation or duty rather than genuine desire. The final lines, "I bring the light shining down / She bring the light shining down / Want you bring the light shining down / I need you to bring the light shining down," repeat the image of light, which in many cultures symbolizes hope, clarity, and enlightenment. It seems that both the woman and the person she is fixated on are searching for something, and they hope to find it together.
Overall, "Please You" is a haunting and somewhat enigmatic song that leaves much to the listener's own interpretation. The repetition of certain phrases suggests a sense of obsession or fixation, while the repeated image of light may symbolize hope or enlightenment.

I know this is meant to be a nice song about someone, but I find it sad because it makes me think of all the times i've been living and dying to please someone who's absolutely no good for me. 😢
