A “rolling stone” refers to smoking weed while rolling on ecstasy. The title alludes to Bob Dylan’s “Like A Rolling Stone”, where the phrase means a man who never settles down, but rather restlessly moves through the world.
While this song essentially serenades the “Lonely Star,” it also covers a larger metaphor. Instead of settling on the sound and success Abel’s found early in his career, he acknowledges that he wants to grow as an artist, and hopes his fans will follow him through his journey. He details this in an open letter to fans he released in 2012.
The Trilogy cover was derived from the music video for this song.
The guitar melody for this track was influenced by Andre Nickatina’s “Ayo For Yayo”.
