🎻 GOLD HAS TURNED TO STONE | Roman River | Cinematic Rock Ballad | The SMOOCH Experience™

Описание: GOLD HAS TURNED TO STONE is a cinematic, emotionally raw rock ballad about grief, isolation, and the slow, silent way loss reshapes a life.

This isn’t spectacle.
This isn’t performance.

This is what happens when love disappears and the world keeps moving anyway.

Built on haunting piano, atmospheric guitars, restrained drums, and a 12-bar violin solo that carries the emotional weight of everything left unsaid, Gold Has Turned to Stone captures the feeling of trying to survive a loss you were never meant to carry alone.

It’s a song for the ones who lost someone too soon.
For the ones who pulled inward instead of breaking down.
For the ones still learning how to breathe again.

🎶 LYRICS

(Verse)
I push them all away
So they can’t get that close
So they say I haven’t been the same

So I never go outside
It’s hard when you know you changed
I prefer changing on my own

(Pre-chorus)
So now I listen to the thunder
When the lightning won’t leave me alone

(Chorus)
Gold has turned to stone
Girl, you weren’t supposed to die so young,
Why am I hiding when I should be getting stronger
Where am I to go
When all I wanna do is run and hide
So I don’t have to look them in the eye

(Verse)
They can’t handle the truth
They see it in my eyes
They all know I’m no one without you

So they kill me with their lies
For they know not what they do
So nobody else has to cry

(Pre-chorus)
So now I walk alone in the rain
When I curse out
All the stars in the sky

(Chorus)
Gold has turned to stone
Girl, you weren’t supposed to die so young,
Why am I hiding when I should be getting stronger
Where am I to go
When all I wanna do is run and hide
So I don’t have to look them in the eye

(Bridge)
Time has nothing to do with this
They’re all a bunch of liars,
Some wounds just cut too deep
They say gold can’t catch on fire
This rolling stone still can’t believe

(Chorus)
Gold has turned to stone
Girl, you weren’t supposed to die so young,
Why am I hiding when I should be getting stronger
Where am I to go
When all I wanna do is run and hide
So I don’t have to look them in the eye

(Instrumental: 12 bar violin solo)

(Outro)
We will always be
Forever young to me
Let them all believe
what they think they see

What once was our home sweet home
is now my bittersweet house
Where gold has turned to stone
Where the silence speaks too loud

Gold has turned to stone!

Gold has turned to stone

Whoaaa-oh
whoaaa-oh
gold.

“Gold has turned to stone”
whoaaa-oh
(end)
