__Summary__ **// : //** __ Introduction: __ //November Rain// from Guns N’ Roses, a rock band formed in 1985 in California, was written in 1991 and belongs to Use Your Illusion I album. __It has been awarded as the second between a thousand, as best song of all the musical history.__ __ Why this song: __ I have chosen this song because I think it is one of the best rock ballads I have ever heard. Guns n’ Roses is one of my favorite rock bands, __and I find so complicated to merge rock music with classical as they are so opposed__. But the result of it is amazing. I love this band, their style, how they play, and the way they dess… In my opinion Guns N’ Roses is an incredible band and this song reflects their majesty. This is the main reason of why I chose this song. __ The significance of the Video __ __The meaning of the video is completely different to the lyrics significance__. Axl Rose, who is the lead singer of the band, marries her girlfriend and we can see how excellent their lives are and how happy they are together. But then, the video __has a radical change__ where his girlfriend dies, we do not know how, and Axl __is left by his own, melancholic,__ feeling blue because he cannot live if living is without her, by his side. Axl can’t sleep at night without her, regrets not telling her how much he loved her. The November rain symbolises their relationship not lasting forever because death has taken her, death has taken the time they could have spent together.

media type="youtube" key="8SbUC-UaAxE" width="425" height="350" __ The meaning of the lyrics: __ The song talks about a man who is deeply in love with her girlfriend but is scared of telling her how much he loves her. They are having a love crisis and so the song’s title, //November Rain// is a metaphor which conveys this troubled times not lasting forever, like the cold November rain. This man is giving his lover some time to be on her own, to think if she really wants to keep on with their relationship. He believes that this time will help her realize that she really wants to stay always by his side. __We can find throughout all the song how the man trusts this relationship lasting__, although they have a period of darkness, they still can find the way. This song is trying to give a message to all their listeners. It is telling them that they only have one life, and you have to make the most of it because one day, you’ll be old and you will have already consumed all your time and you will regret not having done everything you would have liked to and you did not do. This idea objective which is reflected in the song reminds me of the philosophy of life this band has. If we analyse the musicians of the band, we can see that all of them have lived their life for the moment, as they have been involved in the consumption of alcohol, drugs ...

__ Lyrics: __ // November rain // When I look into your eyes I can see a love restrained But darlin' when I hold you, don't you know I feel the same? yeah Nothin' lasts forever and we both know hearts can change And it's hard to hold a candle in the cold November rain

We've been through this such a long long time Just tryin' to kill the pain, ooh yeah But lovers always come and lovers always go An' no one's really sure who's lettin' go today, walking away

And if we take the time to lay it on the line I could rest my head just knowin' that you were mine, all mine So if you want to love me then darlin' don't refrain Or I'll just end up walkin' in the cold November rain

Do you need some time on your own? Do you need some time all alone? Everybody needs some time on their own Don't you know you need some time all alone?

<span style="font-family: 'Calibri','sans-serif'; font-size: 15px;">I know it's hard to keep an open heart <span style="font-family: 'Calibri','sans-serif'; font-size: 15px;">When even friends seem out to harm you <span style="font-family: 'Calibri','sans-serif'; font-size: 15px;">But if you could heal the broken heart

<span style="font-family: 'Calibri','sans-serif'; font-size: 15px;">Wouldn't time be out to charm you?

<span style="font-family: 'Calibri','sans-serif'; font-size: 15px;">Sometimes I need some time on my own <span style="font-family: 'Calibri','sans-serif'; font-size: 15px;">Sometimes I need some time all alone <span style="font-family: 'Calibri','sans-serif'; font-size: 15px;">Everybody needs some time on their own <span style="font-family: 'Calibri','sans-serif'; font-size: 15px;">Don't you know you need some time all alone

<span style="font-family: 'Calibri','sans-serif'; font-size: 15px;">And when your fears subside and shadows still remain, oh yeah <span style="font-family: 'Calibri','sans-serif'; font-size: 15px;">I know that you can love me when there's no one left to blame <span style="font-family: 'Calibri','sans-serif'; font-size: 15px;">So never mind the darkness we still can find a way <span style="font-family: 'Calibri','sans-serif'; font-size: 15px;">Nothin' lasts forever even cold November rain
