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.

Stay With Me
Angus & Julia Stone Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Watch the sparkling towers as we drive
Then when we arrive to our apartment on the east side
We'll curse at all the stairs we have to climb
Oh it's worth it for the view
Wakin' up each morning next to you
It don't matter where we'll be
Home is when you're here with me
Let's head out west to the mountains
We can walk any path we choose
Then when we come back to our house among the red rocks
We won't mind those pebbles in our shoes
Oh it's worth it for the view
Wakin' up each morning next to you
It don't matter where we'll be
Home is when you're here with me
Home is when you're here with me
We could go to the ends of the earth
Sail across the ocean to some foreign sea
I'll take photographs of us against the world
Wherever we may land is home to me
(Oh oh oh, oh oh)
(Oh oh oh, oh oh oh)
(Oh oh oh, oh oh)
Home is when you're here with me
(Home is when you're)
Oh it's worth it for the view
Wakin' up each morning next to you
It don't matter where we'll be
Home is when you're here with me
It don't matter where we'll be
Home is when you're here with me
Home is when you're here with me
The song "Stay With Me" by Angus & Julia Stone is all about the feeling of home and how your loved ones can create that sense of home for you no matter where you are in the world. The lyrics describe taking a ride through the city, watching the sparkling towers go by, and arriving at an apartment on the east side with a view, even though they have to climb a lot of stairs to get there. The next verse talks about heading out west to the mountains, walking any path they choose, and coming back to a house among the red rocks, not minding the pebbles in their shoes. The chorus repeats the concept that home is when your loved one is with you, no matter where you are.
The third verse brings up the idea of traveling to the ends of the earth, sailing across the ocean to some foreign sea, taking photographs of them together against the world. The final chorus cements the idea that it doesn't matter where they are, home is wherever they are together. The song is simple but effective in its repetition and imagery, and it's easy to imagine being in their shoes, experiencing the feeling of home with someone you love no matter where you are.

Let's take a ride through the city
Let's go on a journey through the bustling metropolis
Watch the sparkling towers as we drive
Observe the gleaming skyscrapers as we travel
Then when we arrive to our apartment on the east side
Once we get to our dwelling on the opposite side of town
We'll curse at all the stairs we have to climb
We'll complain about the flight of stairs we must ascend
Oh it's worth it for the view
But the vista is worth the effort
Wakin' up each morning next to you
Rising each dawn beside you
It don't matter where we'll be
No matter our location
Home is when you're here with me
My home is wherever you are
Let's head out west to the mountains
Travel to the mountainous west
We can walk any path we choose
We can select any trail we desire
Then when we come back to our house among the red rocks
Upon returning to our abode amidst crimson terrain
We won't mind those pebbles in our shoes
We won't bother about the stones in our footwear
We could go to the ends of the earth
We could venture to the farthest corners of the world
Sail across the ocean to some foreign sea
Cruise over the sea to distant lands
I'll take photographs of us against the world
I'll capture pictures of us against the backdrop of the globe
Wherever we may land is home to me
No matter where we arrive, it's home to me
(Oh oh oh, oh oh)
(Oh oh oh, oh oh oh)
(Oh oh oh, oh oh)
Home is when you're here with me
My home is wherever you are
It don't matter where we'll be
No matter our location
Home is when you're here with me
My home is wherever you are
