(1) Tone is a German hip-hop artist, born in Frankfurt. As part of Konkret Finn (the first German battlecrew) along with his former partner lz, he was one of the inventors of German battle rap.
After "Konkret Finn" broke up, Tone considered starting a solo career and was featured on songs of artists such as Azad, the Brothers Keepers, Curse, D-Flame, J-Luv, Killa Hakan, Melbeatz, Samy Deluxe, the Stieber Twins and Roey Marquis II.
His solo breakthrough came in 2004, when he formed "Fourtress" with Bintia and Billy Davis and toured all over Germany. One year later, he was featured on German star Xavier Naidoo's release "Bist du am Leben interessiert?", and also released his first solo album, "Zukunftsmusik".
(2) With her abstract break beats, fragile voice and mesmerizing lyrics, female artist Tone has found an impressive outlet for her inner musical strengths, creating experimental ambient electronica sounds ranging from uplifting moods to bleak shades of melancholy.
Musically, Tone - who carries the civil name Sofie Nielsen - creates a remarkable audiovisual realm in which her light and spell-binding voice adds to a bedrock of crunchy break beats, abstract compositional structures and melodic sounds and samples. Not being a typical songwriter in terms of clinging to the usage of the traditional structure of verses and choruses, Tone relies on improvisation and creative exploration in the creation of her unpredictable musical landscapes - while adding daunting, yet compelling lyrics - and thereby drawing listeners into her musical and atmospheric universe of thoughts, sounds and a myriad of emotional expressions.
Tone’s live performance is a spectacular experience. Accompanied by VJ Kristian Ravn Ellestad, the two blend together in an audiovisual symbiosis accentuating the moods of Tone’s emotionally charged music. Tone and Kristian have cooperated in making small individual movie loops to each of her tracks, adding coherency and an abstract kind of storytelling to the performance.
Tone is signed to Urlyd, an independent Danish record label.
(3) Tone is one of the most original MCs in Spain. With a style you may have never heard in a hip hop artist, Tone fills his songs with dark, claustrophobic pictures, being extremely well accompanied by Dark la eMe's almost trip hop instrumentals. He has created and developed his unique style through hundreds of shows and one album (2005). The underground spanish hip hop scene awaits his next album.

(4) Tone was formed in Washington DC in 1991 by Norm Veenstra, with the goal of creating dynamic instrumental music using a layered, multiple electric guitar format. Operating within a rock context, with a drummer, one or two bass players, and as many as six guitarists, the result was a sound that gladly accepted the unambiguous tonality of popular music yet still found room for meaningful dissonance - austere, dramatic, and loud. With an unmistakable lineage (Savage Republic, Nice Strong Arm, Glenn Branca, Rhys Chatham), Tone set about its earliest performances with the determination and belief that there was still room for intelligent instrumental music.
While Tone's first shows were often described as relentlessly raw, by the time of their first recording sessions in 1993 and 1994 they had evolved a more precise, if not polished, approach. One of the more fascinating characteristics of the band came about in their early performances, when sounds that no one actually played arose as a natural occurrence of the harmonic interplay of multiple guitars. Eschewing the theatrics of the guitar solo and the seductive allure of electronic effects in favour of highly arranged ensemble work and bright glowing power amp tubes, Tone delivered their first CD in November of 1994, Build (on Dischord/IPR), an EP of six songs that used layered and repeated interlocking guitar parts as compositional building blocks.
(5) TONE is a Western ensemble comprised of three musicians, who play the shakuhachi (an instrument representative of Japan), and the guitar. The trio's leader, Yukihiko Mitsuka, is well known not only as a shakuhachi player, but as a master craftsman of the instrument, as well. TONE expresses the elegance of traditional Japanese music, and is currently well-received in live performances in many parts of Japan.
(6) TONE (仲维军) is a MC/rapper singer song writer from Taiwan
(7) TONE is a metal band in Greenville, SC. https://tonesc.bandcamp.com/
(8) Tone is a french artist who has been performing on the Twitch platform since 2019. With the support of his community of 30,000 followers on the streaming platform, the artist more recently decided to embark 100% on this musical project, with the composition of a first EP released in December 2021.

tone Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Yet I see so much loneliness every day
We avoid each other
We steer clear from one another
Can’t you see that you’re my sister
Can’t you see that you’re my brother
There’s something within me and it’s calling out
Well, I’m done living passed you
I want to be the one you turn to
Let’s share in each other’s point of view
Nothing really matters, except you
Nothing really matters, except you
Without you my world is hollow
And if it ends tomorrow
It would end with a smile, if I have you
I’m as scared of you, as you are of me
Our walls are high, yet we think that we’re free
You want to say hello but you rather stick to what you know
Is it really all that hard to let one’s love show
Every day I pass you, on my way somewhere
Out the window, in a traffic jam we stare
We pretend that we are separate, so we don’t make an effort
We are scared to be shunned, we are scared to be out done. Yet…
Nothing really matters, except you
Nothing really matters, except you
Without you my world is hollow
And if it ends tomorrow
It would end with a smile, if I have you
Nothing really matters, except you
Nothing really matters, except you
If this world would end tomorrow
Peace is what would follow
I would rest, if I knew that I have you
I would rest, if I knew that I have you
I would rest, if I knew that I have you
In "Sticks" by Tone, the lyrics delve into the theme of human connection and the inherent loneliness that exists within society. The song challenges the notion that "no man is an island" by highlighting the prevalent loneliness and avoidance that is witnessed every day. Despite this, the singer realizes the importance of interpersonal bonds and urges for a greater understanding and unity among individuals.
The lyrics emphasize the need for recognizing the kinship and shared humanity between people. The lines "Can't you see that you're my sister / Can't you see that you're my brother" serve as a reminder that despite the perceived differences and barriers, we are all interconnected. The singer longs to break down the walls that separate individuals and be there for each other in times of need, fostering empathy and understanding.
The song reflects on the fear and reluctance that often hinders genuine connections. The lyrics convey the mutual apprehension between people with lines like "I'm as scared of you, as you are of me." Despite the desire to say hello or reach out, people often stick to what they know, remaining in their comfort zones. The song questions why it is so challenging to express love and let oneself be vulnerable when it comes to forming deep connections.
The chorus emphasizes the significance of human connection, emphasizing that "nothing really matters, except you." Without these meaningful relationships, the singer's world feels empty and hollow. The song suggests that if the world were to end tomorrow, finding peace in love and understanding would be the ultimate source of solace.
Overall, "Sticks" by Tone reflects on the loneliness and emotional distance that exists in society, while also highlighting the importance of breaking down barriers and fostering connections based on love, empathy, and understanding.
