November Rain es una de las más famosas canciones de Guns N' Roses, escrita por Axl Rose.
Aparece en el álbum Use Your Illusion I, con 9 minutos 12 segundos de duración, y en concierto la canción dura hasta 15 minutos. Es una balada épica, y es una de las canciones más largas no solo de ese álbum, sino también de las que Guns N Roses ha grabado.
Tan conocida como la propia canción, quizá una mayor atención se le ofrece al vídeo musical, el cual, cuando fue lanzado en 1992, rápidamente se convirtió en el más solicitado en la MTV.
La letra de November Rain no entra a valorar el tema del suicidio, solamente una relación temperamental. Según una interpretación, la letra es de un hombre a una novia, diciendo cómo los tiempos de problemas (la fría lluvia de noviembre) no durarán para siempre, y que él está dispuesto a dejarla un tiempo sola si es necesario para que ella vuelva con él.
When I look into your eyes,
I can see a love restrained.
But darling when I hold you,
don't you know I feel the same?
Nothing 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 trying to kill the pain...
But lovers always come and lovers always go,
and no one's really sure who's lettin' go today
walking 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 darling don't refrain,
Or I'll just end up walking
in the cold November rain.
Do you need some time on your own?
Do you need some time all alone?
Uhh, 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.
Nothing 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...
[November Rain - Guns 'n' Roses]
