“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 Love
Chicane feat Tom Jones 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 lyrics of Chicane's "Stoned in Love" are a reflection on a past relationship, looking back on it with a sense of nostalgia while acknowledging that things have changed. The singer wonders if their former partner would do it all over again if they could go back in time. However, despite the memories and feelings of love attached to the relationship, the present reality is that they are no longer in love with each other. The repeated phrase "Good luck, cause we're not feeling stoned in love" emphasizes this contrast between past and present emotions.
The lyrics also touch on the idea of second chances and the possibility of doing things differently if given the chance to go back in time. The line "If we could wash the past away, would we go our separate ways?" suggests that the singer is open to the idea of starting fresh, but it's unclear whether their former partner feels the same way. The final line, "as if I care," could be interpreted in different ways - either as a dismissal of the past relationship, or as a nod to the idea that it's okay to be sentimental about the past even if the feelings aren't entirely the same.
Overall, "Stoned in Love" captures the bittersweet feeling of looking back on a past relationship and realizing that while the memories are cherished, the present is vastly different.
