ROCKHOPPER TRACK POST 4/10 – ROCKS AND STONES
Rocks and Stones is the fourth track of Rockhopper and is the first song, the first time I play solo and the first time I sing on the album. I wrote the music to make good use of the Bouzouki’s ability to drone on several strings at a time, which makes a sort of ambient reverb by itself.
The lyrics are ones that have come very much from my heart. With politics divided into extremes (and everyone deeply believing the other is wrong), the current climate change emergency and the seemingly diminishing importance of empathy and kindness in the way we treat others, I feel this song is very pertinent to what is happening in the world at the moment, with lines such as “learn to treat everything with respect, don’t think you are insignificant” meaning that anything you do, even the tiniest thing, can have an impact on someone, so make sure it’s a positive thing.
