The story behind the song

This song is a desperate love song, where the "stones" represent things that cause pain and hurt people. It delves into the deep emotional impact of these hurts within a relationship. Neil Diamond himself rarely performs it live due to its sentimental nature. This track, the title song from his 1971 album, showcases his knack for intelligent, pop-oriented material. At its heart, it plays like a tender exploration of vulnerability and enduring affection despite past wounds.
