November Rain by Guns n' Roses



I fell in love with Stephanie Seymor when this video was released in 1991.

This song is too the song me and my first true love played all night a long time ago, the same night he broke up with me after 2 years together. For me it meant that if I heard this song, for more than a year after that, I fell apart crying. I had loved him for the better part of my young life and thought he was the one forever. It was in the fall of late November.

The video here is like a dream that falls apart, just like mine.

w/love
Alice

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
yeahh..
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 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

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

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

Dont ya think that you
Need somebody
Dont ya think that you
Need someone
Everybody needs somebody

i love it.
this has significance to me too.
a memory of coming to new york when i was around 13 and hanging out all summer, staying at my sisters place. it was a time of being carefree. feeling older and wiser beyond my years. i was happy and i was sad. this song came on all the time.

That does sound like a wonderful time. Thank you for sharing!!

The song/ music video together with Don't Cry mean changing times to med.From being little to become more understanding of how the world works.
