Stone Senses members include many veterans of the San Diego music scene:
Mike O’Gara (Guitar, Vocals), Eric Castaneda (Vocals), Garrett Grabowsky (Guitar), John Laue (Drums), and Charlie Ball (Bass).
“Harder than the Rest,” Stone Senses’ first full- length album, catapulted the band from a back- yard party band to a legitimate touring group on the reggae rock circuit. Tracks like “Broken Crown” and “Open Mind,” embody their positive attitude, soulful lyrics and a knack for writing both mature and thoughtful compositions. “Adelitas” foreshadows the heavier side of rock reggae that future Stone Senses songs would follow.
Stone Senses second full- length “Live It Up” was released August 8th, 2008. With 12 tracks that range from rolling ska rockers like “Live it Up” to smooth reggae grooves like “Wait.” The album touches everyone’s musical taste buds. Beautiful melodies come from two promising vocalists, who, in contrast are as different as the songs they appear in. Warm, intelligent bass lines and amazing guitar solos finish off this well rounded sophomore album.
Both Stone Senses albums have received airplay around the world on both conventional radio and internet radio stations. Local San Diego stations that have played tracks include FM 94/9, 91X, and Rock 105.3.
Currently, Stone Senses is completing the band’s third independently released full- length album “Exception to the Rule.” Recorded at Studio West in their hometown of San Diego, Stone Senses continues to expand the rock reggae genre with more heavy rock and even metal influences on tracks like “Good Day to Start a Riot” and “Tuff Guy.” However, at the same time retaining their roots influences with their cover of Steel Pulse’s track “Your House” and their psychedelic-dub influences in their “S.I.T.B.W” track.
Playing almost 600 shows since late 2004, Stone Senses have been playing to sold out crowds at some of Southern California’s finest venues and festivals, including:
The House of Blues San Diego, The Sound Wave, The Wave House, The Bellyup Tavern, The Coachhouse, The Galaxy, The OC Tavern, Brixton Southbay, The Blue Café, Cane’s, The Malibu Inn, Soma, Reggae Day at The Del Mar Fair, Harrah’s Rincon, The Fiesta Del Sol, NAMM Show in 2008 and 2009 and the Maloof Money Cup in 2010.
Stone Senses have shared the stage with many national touring acts, including Trical Seeds, Tomorrow’s Bad Seeds, Steel Pulse, The Wailers, Don Carlos, The Abyssianians, Groundation, Beres Hammond, Marcia Griffiths, Half Pint, The Aggrolites, The Dirty Heads, Mikey Dread, The Expendables, Natural Vibrations, OPM, Ooklah The Moc, SOJA, John Brown’s Body, Mystic Roots, Bedouin Soundclash, Common Sense, Rebelution, Inhale, and Iration.
Regret
Stone Senses Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm tired
girl you left me so alone
I'm cryin now
when i whispered in your ear
I love you
I never pictured you not here
and now I miss you
when everything seems so cold
cause you feel it in your heart
how everything used to be so golden baby
but now that I have met you
without knowing your heart was gonna change
and I must keep moving on
even though it leaves us feeling so strange
but I'll always love you
when the teardrops fall like rain
I'll never forget you baby
I'm broken hearted on my own
you never would pick up your phone
even though you left me like a child
I'd still kill to see your smile
how do I explain when everything seems so cold
cause you feel it in your heart
how everything used to be so golden baby
but now that I have met you
without knowing your heart was gonna change
and I must keep moving on
even though it leaves us feeling so strange
but I will always love you
when the teardrops fall like rain
and I will never forget you baby

how do I explain when everything seems so cold

but I'll always love you
when the teardrops fall like rain
I'll never forget you baby
The lyrics of Stone Senses' song "Regret" convey the pain and heartbreak of a lost love. The singer is hurting in his soul, tired, and alone after being left by his lover. He reminisces on the love they once shared, whispering in her ear that he loves her and never imagined she would not be there. He is now missing her and tries to comprehend the reason for the loss. Everything feels cold and distant, and he can't shake the feeling of the love they once shared being golden, but he understands that her heart has changed. He must keep moving forward, even though it leaves them feeling strange, but he'll always love her, and she'll never be forgotten.
The song expresses the emotions that come with a sudden breakup, which can be a painful experience that leaves wounds that can take a long time to heal. It captures the sense of confusion and longing that often follows a break-up and how difficult it can be to move on. The song also describes how the singer is coming to terms with the fact that their love was not meant to be, despite the emotions that they shared.
