Lyrics: 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

´CAUSE NOTHIN´ LAST FOREVER AND WE BOTH KNOW HEARTS CAN CHANGE AND IT´S HARD TO HOLD THE CANDLE IN THE COLD NOVEMBER RAIN

WE´VE BEEN THROUGHT THIS SUCH A LONG LONG TIME JUST TRYIN´ TO KILL THE PAIN

BUT LOVERS ALWAYS COME AND LOVERS ALWAYS GO AND NO ONE REALLY SURE WHO´S LETTIN´ GO TODAY WALKING AWAY

IF WE COULD TAKE THE TIME TO LAY IT ONE 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

I KNOW IT´S HARD TO KEEP AN OPEN HEART WHEN EVEN FRIENDS SEEM OUT TO HARM YOU BUT IF YOU COULD HEAL A BROKEN HEART WOULDN´T TIME BE OUT TO CHARM YOU

SOMETIMES I NEED SOMETIMES... ON MY OWN SOMETIMES I NEED SOMETIMES... ALL ALONE EVERYBODY NEEDS SOME TIME... ON THEIR OW DON´T YOU KNOW YOU NEED SOME TIME... ALL ALONE

AND WHEN YOUR FEARS SUBSIDE AND SHADOWS STILL REMAIN I KNOW THAT YOU CAN LOVE ME WHEN THERE´S NO ONE LEFT TO BLAME SO NEVERMIND THE DARKNESS WE STILL CAN FIND A WAY ´CAUSE NOTHIN´ LASTS FOREVER EVEN COLD NOVEMBER RAIN

DON´T YA THINK THAT YOU NEED SOMEBODY DON´T YA THINK THAT YOU NEED SOMEONE EVERYNODY NEEDS SOMEBODY YOU´RE NOT THE ONLY ONE YOU´RE NOT THE ONLY ONE

Historic facts:  November Rain, was a song written by the lead vocalist Axl Rose. It was released in 1992, as well as its music video. Both the song and the video, had an impressive success. This song is the second longest song of the whole discography of the guns n' roses, after coma(10,8). Axl Rose started composing this song 10 years before its release(1982).

Why do i like it? I like this song, because it is impacting and because it has been made to impact the listener and the audience, it's combination with classical instruments and with modern instruments such as electric guitars bases and drums, make it a divine piece of work, comparable to the great classical pieces of music. The main theme of this song, is the non responded love from the bride to the groom(Axl Rose), and how after the big and fancy marriage, she dies of sadness(commits suicide), because she married the wrong person, and the only thing she wanted to do was to have some time by her own and not with her husband. In my opinion, this song is impacting for three main reasons: the Lyrics, the solos and the message. Once you have listened to the song(full song) a couple of times, you see that it is not important if it is true or it isn't true, but you mind the feeling it causes on you, mainly because it makes you think of the quantity of couple that get married, because it's the norm, but not because they desire to, or even because they are forced to do so. This song is very impressive from a musical and harmonic point of view, it has a very big complexity, because it combines a lot of instruments, that are anachronic(different periods of time), and also because it is about 8 minutes long, and in those 8 minutes, there are solos, lyrics, choruses and instrumental parts, because of that it has been considered one of the best hard rock songs, and also because it talks about a theme that had not been musicalized. What do the lyrics say and what effect do they cause. The lyrics explain how a man(Axl Rose) marries a girl, that loves him at a start, but that finaly stops loving him after their wedding, the groom asks her if she wants some time own her own, or if she wants to be alone to adapt to the new marriage, and to their new live, because he thinks that she could commit suicide, finally she dies because of pain.

The chorus "Don't you think you need somebody" here Axl suggests that she could get someone(find a friend). Why is this song important for me This song is very important for me, mainly because it expalins perfectly what hard rock is(not only screaming and rude lyrics), it is a type of music that can combine a lot of instruments and a lot of different styles.

I like this song for two reasons, one is that when i was small i started listning to heavy metal, and originally i didn't like it, because it was a very hard and non musical and harmonical style, but then i liostened to this song, and i started liking heavy and hard rock, because i understood that the best songs where the old ones and not the new ones(old bands). The second reason, is because it is a song that explains heavy metal perfectly, and that is very useful to show to those people that think that heavy metal is just screaming and non harmonic tunes, are wrong.
