Stranger
Julia & Angus Stone Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We move through the crowd.
I kissed your lips,
There was no one around,
There was no one around.
In a house made of glass,
There's a boy throwing rocks.
Your hearts all you got,
Yeah your hearts all you got.
And it's been so long,
Since you've been round.
I've never missed a stranger before.
I think it's nice
It's Judas's call
I've never missed a stranger before, like you.
She wore lace round her hair
And she looked like a queen.
With eyes so fair,
She was something of a dream,
Yeah she was something of a dream
Cause it's been so long,
Since you've been round.
I've never missed a stranger before.
I think it's nice
It's Judas's call
I've never missed a stranger before, like you.
Cause it's been so long,
Since you've been round.
I've never missed a stranger before.
I think it's nice
It's Judas's call
I've never missed a stranger before, like you.
The song "Stranger" by Julia & Angus Stone is a story of love and longing for someone who is a stranger. The opening lines set the scene in a sunset park, where the two move through the crowd and share a kiss when there's no one around. The next verse shifts to a house made of glass, where there's a boy throwing rocks, and the idea of loving like it's your last cause is introduced. The chorus repeats the idea that it's been so long since the stranger has been around, and the singer has never missed a stranger before until now. The lyrics suggest that there's something special about this person that they can't quite put their finger on.
In the second verse, the singer describes the stranger as someone who wore lace around her hair and looked like a queen. She was something of a dream, with fair eyes that captivated the singer's heart. The repetition of the chorus further emphasizes the longing for this person, and the phrase "It's Judas's call" suggests that the singer may feel conflicted about their feelings for this stranger. The song ends with a final repetition of the chorus, emphasizing the idea that the singer has never missed a stranger before, but they do now.
Overall, "Stranger" is a beautifully written love song that captures the feeling of longing for someone who is just out of reach. The lyrics are poetic and insightful, hinting at a deeper meaning behind the surface-level story of two people who share a fleeting moment in a sunset park.

In a sunset park,
We were in a park during sunset,
We move through the crowd.
We were walking through people,
I kissed your lips,
We kissed each other,
There was no one around,
No one was present in the park other than us,
There was no one around.
No one was present in the park other than us,
In a house made of glass,
We were in a house that had glass walls,
There's a boy throwing rocks.
There was a boy throwing rocks in that area,
He loves like his last cause
The boy plays hard,
Your hearts all you got,
When it comes to love, all you have is your heart,
Yeah your hearts all you got.
When it comes to love, all you have is your heart,
And it's been so long,
It's been a while since we met each other,
Since you've been round.
It's been a while since we met each other,
I've never missed a stranger before.
I have never missed someone whom I don't really know,
I think it's nice
I think it's beautiful,
It's Judas's call
It's like Judas who betrayed Jesus,
I've never missed a stranger before, like you.
I have never missed someone whom I don't really know, and that someone is you.
She wore lace round her hair
She wore a lace on her hair,
And she looked like a queen.
She looked like a queen,
With eyes so fair,
Her eyes were beautiful,
She was something of a dream,
She was like something from a dream,
Yeah she was something of a dream
She was like something from a dream,
Cause it's been so long,
It's been a while since we met each other,
Since you've been round.
It's been a while since we met each other,
I've never missed a stranger before.
I have never missed someone whom I don't really know,
I think it's nice
I think it's beautiful,
It's Judas's call
It's like Judas who betrayed Jesus,
I've never missed a stranger before, like you.
I have never missed someone whom I don't really know, and that someone is you.

I don't listen to this kind of music. I preffer violent drops of dubstep. But this is just amazing. And it's not just this song, other songs from these artists as well. You Sir (and Ma'am) have my respect!

I've listened to a lot of Angus & Julia Stone tracks, waiting for the one that appeared to be my favourite one. Now I guess this one is IT .....
