Lonely Stranger: Seventh track on the Everywhere with You debut album from Stone Atlas.
This track was released as Stone Atlas's first ever single and is a great representation of their Modern Blues Rock sound to its core. If you are listening to the lyrics and question their meaning, your first instinct is probably correct! This not so cryptic love tune tells the tale of sexuality in the modern era. Lonely Stranger is a no-holds-barred track that explores polyamory and the moments when life doesn't go according to societies norms.
This track is a ballad to all the Lonely Strangers in the world, inspired by one particular good time. Stone Atlas added this song to the album at the very end of their recording sessions and soon it became a staple, a favorite, and their go-to (crowd) pleaser.
lyrics
[Intro]
Hey lonely stranger
Can I have a minute with you
Why you so down now
Eyes of deep piercing blue
Hey lonely stranger
An ocean in a room
Dive right in or drown trying
Might be worth it for two
[Chorus A]
My queen is comin’ home
Well she knows you’re comin’ too
[Instrumental Chorus]
Hey lonely stranger
Two turns to three to one
No need to choose now
Have the cosmos and the sun
Hey lonely stranger
We’re gonna have some fun
Tingling, pulsing, trembling, shaking,
Beat that lovers drum
[Chorus A]
My queen is comin’ home
Well she knows you’re comin’ too
[Instrumental Chorus]
[Solo]
[Chorus B]
My queen is comin’ home
Yeah, she knows there’s room for two
