"Stone" is the seventh track from Alessia Cara's debut studio album, Know-It-All. It was released on November 13, 2015 through Def Jam Recordings and Universal Music Group. It is the first collaboration between Cara and American singer-songwriter and Record producer Sebastian Kole.
Background[]
The song is about the world being a hectic place and it is difficult to turn your mind off and feel free. When a special person comes into your life, it becomes easier and simpler.
Lyrics[]
So much on my mind, I think I think too much
Read between these lines, unspoken weight of words
But time comes to rest when you are by my side, it blurs
And I will follow where this takes me
And my tomorrows long to be unknown
When all is shaken, be my safety
In a world uncertain, say you'll be my stone
Change in every wind
The sands of time don't know our name
Oh nothing's sure, but surely as we stand
I promise I will stay the same
And I've never seen forever
But I know we'll remain
And I will follow where this takes me
And my tomorrows long to be unknown
When all is shaken, be my safety
In a world uncertain, say you'll be my stone
(Oooooooh oooh oooh)
Be my stone
In a world uncertain, say you'll be my stone
Oh steady me, be my source of gravity
While my world's unraveling
Say you'll never change, ooooohhhh!!! Oh!
And I will follow where this takes me
And my tomorrows long to be unknown
When all is shaken, be my safety
In a world uncertain, say you'll be my stone
(Oooooooh oooh oooh)
Be my stone
In a world uncertain, say you'll be my stone
Trivia[]
- This is one of Cara's favorites on her album.
- This song was written the day after Wild Things.
- In the beginning, Cara can be heard humming a note. This wasn't originally supposed to be in the song; she was just testing the mind. However, she kept it in the song because she liked how it sounded.
- Originally, there was a different bridge that was changed last minute. It went: "Paint the colors in my world so black and white / oh be my gravity / I'll unravel in your arms / and we'll be diamonds in this universe of ours".
