"We had some of the best laughs promoting this track. While warming up for 'Friday Night with Jonathan Ross' Big Tom and my band stuck up an impromptu jam of James Brown's 'Sex Machine' and the audience loved it. Tom was such a great guy, and a real gent, later that day he came down to my own live gig in Islington and got up and sang 'Stoned' for an encore - Great Memories" (Nicholas Bracegirdle on 'Stoned in Love', 2008)
"Stoned in Love" entered the UK Singles Chart at #42 on the week starting April 24, 2006, simultaneous to its release date (prior to this, only digital downloads were available). The next week, the song rose all the way to #8 and on its third week, it climbed to #7!

Stoned in Love
Chicane Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Looking backwards from today
Would you do it all again
If I could roll it back to you
Just like lovers always do
I'm stoned in love but not with you
Good luck, cause we're not feeling stoned in love
It's how I'm feeling now
I feel the love is made of stone
We're not feeling stoned in love
If we could wash the past away
Would we go our separate ways
I'll do it all again, as if I care
Is this the way it's meant to be
Stoned in love but not with me
You're stoned in love in love me
Good luck, cause we're not feeling stoned in love
It's how I'm feeling now
I feel the love is made of stone
We're not feeling stoned in love
Stoned in love...
I'm stoned in love love but not with you
Good luck, cause we're not feeling stoned in love
It's how I'm feeling now
I feel the love is made of stone
We're not feeling stoned in love
Stoned in love
Stoned in love but not with you
As if I care
The song Stoned in Love by Chicane featuring Tom Jones is a reflective piece that explores the complexities of a past romantic relationship. The lyrics are introspective and ask the question of whether the past actions were worth the consequence of the present. The first verse begins by asking the listener to imagine themselves in a position to look back on their life and wonder if they would do things differently. The second verse is more contemplative, asking if it is possible to go back in time and change the past if they could, would they. Throughout the song, the phrase “stoned in love” is repeated, which is an interesting metaphor as it can be interpreted as both a euphoric state and being numb to the feeling of love.
Stoned in Love is an emotional ballad that takes the listener through a journey of love, heartbreak, and introspection. The song is a great example of Tom Jones’s versatility as a collaborator, as he has not previously been known for singing electronic dance music. The lyrics are thought-provoking and challenge traditional ideas of romantic love. It’s a powerful example of how complex relationships can be, and how we explore them through music.
