“The Stone” is a Dave Matthews Band song from the album Before These Crowded Streets. The song is about a guilt over death which one may have caused, and the “stone” in the song refers to a gravestone. The song originally held the working title “Chim Chimeney.“ Other interpretations of the song include a theme of Dave Matthews’ fear of asking his wife for marriage, as well as the life of Judas Iscariot who betrayed Jesus in his final days. The song is written in a 6/8 time signature and features orchestral arrangements by John D’earth with the Kronos Quartet on strings. A 28-second studio jam in 2/2 is heard at the end of the track.
