Like a Rolling Stone

In this time I will share with you my favourite song. This song is “Like a Rolling Stone”. Its interpreter and composer is Robert Allen Zimmerman, who is better know as Bob Dylan. Bob Dylan is a famous and influential American musician , singer and poet. The genre or musical style of Boy Dylan and of this song maybe can be defined like a folk, folk rock, blues and country.
“Like a Rolling Stone” corresponds to a single released in July in 1965 and this work has been included in many compilations of Dylan. The song is favorite of many because is a great composition. In fact, the Rolling Stone magazine, in 2004, considered “Like a Rolling Stone” as THE BEST SONG OF ALL TIME.
I cannot understand the song. Its a paradigm for me, but I think that the chorous reproduces in part the essence of the song. This prays:
“HOW DOES IT FEELHOW DOES IT FEELTO BE WITHOUT A HOMELIKE A COMPLETE UNKNOWNLIKE A ROLLING STONE?”
This song became my favorite at the same instant that I heard it. I like very much the translation made by an argentine biographer of Bob Dylan. He translates it into Spanish as “como una bala perdida”. This has become one of my favorite sentences!
