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.

Wasted
Angus & Julia Stone Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Every time you walk into the room
Oh my head is spinning around
And I can't see clearly right now
I'm wasted
I'm so wasted on you
I'm so wasted on you
I don't know if I'll survive,
In this magical land behind your eyes.
And there's all these funny little men,
There all asking me to dance and sing.
I'm wasted
I'm so wasted on you
I'm so wasted on you
Red and yellow, pink and green, purple and orange and blue.
Are all of the colors I see my love, every time I see you.
I'm wasted
I'm so wasted on you
I'm so wasted on you
In the first verse of the song, Angus & Julia Stone talk about how they feel when the person they're in love with walks into the room. They can't think straight, and everything feels like it's spinning around. The use of the word 'wasted' implies that they are intoxicated, but it's not with alcohol or any other substance. Instead, it's the feeling of being completely consumed by love. They feel like they're losing control, and they can't see anything clearly. It's a feeling of being totally consumed by the presence of another person.
The second verse is deeper and more introspective. Here, they talk about being lost in the magical world behind the person's eyes. They see all these funny little men who are asking them to dance and sing. This could be interpreted as a reference to the person's various personalities or moods. The imagery of a magical land and funny little men adds to the feeling of being disoriented and lost. It's as if they're in a place they've never been before and can't quite make sense of it all.
In the chorus, they repeat the phrase 'I'm so wasted on you,' emphasizing the feeling of being consumed by their love for this person. The final lines of the song describe the colors that Angus & Julia Stone sees when they're with the person they love. Each color represents a different aspect of their emotions: red for passion, yellow for joy, pink for love, green for envy, purple for mystery, orange for creativity, and blue for sadness. The use of color is a powerful way to represent the complexity of emotions that love can bring.
Overall, 'Wasted' is a dreamy and introspective song that perfectly captures the feeling of being completely consumed by love. It highlights the disorienting feeling that love can create and how it can change our perception of the world around us.

I don't know just what I'll do
Uncertainty floods me whenever you're near
Every time you walk into the room
Your presence affects me greatly
Oh my head is spinning around
You leave me feeling dizzy
And I can't see clearly right now
Your impact on me is blinding
I'm wasted
I'm consumed
I'm so wasted on you
My emotions are overpowered by you
I don't know if I'll survive,
I'm not sure if I'll be able to bear it
In this magical land behind your eyes.
The thoughts behind your gaze mystify me
And there's all these funny little men,
Thoughts and emotions inside me inquire about you
There all asking me to dance and sing.
They push me to reveal my emotions and declare my love
Red and yellow, pink and green, purple and orange and blue.
My appreciation for everything about you is vast
Are all of the colors I see my love, every time I see you.
I'm filled with joy whenever I'm with you

I love the double connotations with this song, depending on how I listen, I can hear 'I am wasted; intoxiated with your presence' or 'I am wasted; my love is fruitless, and cannot be returned. '
