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
'Cause 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
But lovers always come and lovers always go
An' no one's really sure who's lettin' go today
Walkin' away
If we could 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

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 some time...on my own
Sometimes I need some time...all alone
Everybody needs some time...on their own
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 never mind 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
Everybody needs somebody
You're not the only one
You're not the only one

 


Pjesma traje 8:59. To je najduza pjesma koja se našla među Top10.


U njemu glumi Stephanie Seymour, tadašnja Axl-ova djevojka. U spotu, ona i Axl se vjenčaju. Slash glumi kuma i ostatak benda se nalazi u prvom redu. Posle vjenčanja, počinje kiša i u sledećoj sceni pogreb se održava u istoj crkvi. Video je koštao više od 1.5 miliona dolara.


Ovaj spot je osvojio 1992 MTV nagradu za najbolju cinematografiju na MTV Video Music Awards, gdje su takođe primili i Video Vanguard nagradu. GNR su izveli pjesmu na kraju programa sa Elton John-on, koji je tad svirao klavir.


Albumi Use Your Illusion I i Use Yor Illusion II objavljeni su u isto vrijeme. Oba su ušla u Top10. Use Your Illusion je bilo broj 1, a iza njega se nalazio Use Your Illusion II. Jedini put da se dva albuma istog izvođača nadju na vrhu top ljestvica desilo se prije toga jedino 1974, kada su dva albuma Jim Croce-a objavljena posle njegove smrti.


Album je objavljen u septembru 1991, ali ova pjesma je objavljena kao singl tek u februaru 1992.


Prateći vokal je Shannon Hoon iz grupe Blind Melon koji je 1995 umro od prevelike doze narkotika.


Prema anketi časopisa Guitar World, Slash-ov solo se nalazi na 6. mjestu.
