Like a Stone is a song by Audioslave, released as the second single from their eponymous debut studio album Audioslave in January 21, 2003. The band’s singer, songwriter, Chris Cornell, explains that Like a Stone is a song about focusing on the afterlife that you’d expect, rather than the normal monotheistic approach: you work very hard all your lives to be a good person, a person moral, fair and generous, and then you go to hell anyway.
