Adriana Spuria’s latest single, “Stone,” lands with the heavy emotional weight of a boulder. Accompanied by a striking black-and-white music video, the music reflects profound feelings and the ways we sometimes retreat from discomfort, from others, and even from ourselves.
With excellent vocals and simple production, “Stone” captures a profoundly human experience, the urge to retreat emotionally. Instead of placing blame, Spuria approaches this sensitive topic with understanding and empathy. She recognizes that turning away from the world and becoming “stone” often serves as a way to cope. If you’re human, you’ve likely felt this way at some point, even if just for a moment. That honesty is what makes “Stone” resonate so strongly. The poetic imagery in the music video heightens the powerful message. A lonely lighthouse, shrouded in shades of gray, symbolizes hope and guidance, offering a haven of solace. We see people drawn to it, some struggling with their pain while others reach out to help those in need. One character stands out, seeming cold and hardened by cynicism and negativity, reminding us of the consequences of becoming emotionally detached.
Throughout the video, Spuria remains strong and composed, never overstating her message, always genuine. The lack of color allows us to focus more on the essential message we must hold onto our ability to feel. Not now. Not ever.
