“First Stone” – Peytan Porter

The simple elegance of the lyrics paired with the backing guitar really drives home the message, making the song that much more memorable.

“If everybody lived in big glass houses / Where everyone could see all the secrets we own / Bet we’d sweep our own floors, tidy up our own couches / Do ourselves a favor, leave the neighbor alone / We’d quit tryin’ to be right / We’d be a little more nice / If everybody lived in big glass houses / Bet we’d all think twice ‘fore we threw the first stone.”
