Track DescriptionAvailable in:
Seven Stones is the fourth song of Genesis' third album Nursery Cryme. It was released in 1971, and re-released after a year as a B-Side to the non-album single, "Happy the Man".
"Seven Stones" is influenced by the music of King Crimson -- in fact, Tony Banks purchased a Mellotron Mark II from the band for use on several songs on the album. As with all of the songs on the Nursery Cryme, "Seven Stones" was written by all the members of the band.
The song tells the story is about a smart old man. It opens quietly, growing stronger throughout and ending with a dramatic flourish.
