"November Rain" 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
'Cause 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 tryna kill the pain, ooh yeah
But lovers always come and lovers always go
And 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?
Ooh, everybody needs some time on their own
Ooh, 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, whoa-whoa
Sometimes, I need some time on my own
Sometimes, I need some time all alone
Ooh, everybody needs some time on their own
Ooh, don't you know you need some time all alone?
And when your fears subside
And shadows still remain, ooh yeah
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
Don't ya think that you need somebody?
Don't ya think that you need someone?
Everybody needs somebody

The lyrics of this song and the
music video are based on a short story by Del James called "Without You" from a collection "The Language Of Fear".
This song was in the works since the mid-80s when it had been a piano composition with the title "November Rain".
Having almost nine minutes in length this song is the longest top-ten hit ever and contains the longest guitar solo among top-ten singles.
Actress and model Stephanie Seymour, Axl Rose's girlfriend at the time, played in the music video together with all the band members attending the wedding ceremony. Slash told Q magazine in July 2004, "We got into doing these huge production videos and by 'November Rain' it was too much, just too involved. At the end of the day it was a great video but that's when I started realizing that it was getting out of hand." The video costed $1.5 million, but it was worth it since it had a lot of play on MTV.
When Guns N' Roses won MTV Video Music Award for best cinematography in 1992, they performed this song at the end of the show with Elton John on piano.
Matt Sorum, who replaced Steven Adler as the band's drummer in 1990, explained that "November Rain", "Don't Cry" and "Estranged" were meant to be one song. The three tracks form a trilogy, and Sorum played the same drum pattern on those three songs as a way of unifying them.
