Guns N’ Roses - November Rain

Il testo e il video della canzone November Rain dei Guns N' Roses.

“November Rain” è la traccia numero 10 di “Use Your Illusion I”, terzo album del gruppo “Guns N’ Roses”. Uscito nel 1991, questa canzone è il terzo singolo estratto dall’album. I Guns N’ Roses sono un gruppo hard&heavy statunitense, formatosi a Los Angeles nel 1985. Lo stile sonoro, l’immagine trasgressiva e le costanti performance dal vivo li aiutarono ad occupare un posto di prestigio nella scena musicale tra la fine degli anni ‘80 e l’inizio ‘90. La formazione originale era composta da Axl Rose(voce), Slash(chitarra), Izzy Stradlin(chitarra), Steven Adler(batteria) e Duff McKagan(basso). Rose, che scrive anche la maggior parte dei testi, è attualmente l’unico membro rimasto della formazione originale. Negli Stati Uniti, l’album “Use Your Illusion I” fu premiato con 12 dischi di platino. “November Rain” dura 8 minuti e 57 secondi ed è la canzone di maggior durata ad essere entrata nella classifica di “Billboard”. Il testo parla dei momenti di crisi e delle difficoltà di una relazione sentimentale.

Testo
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
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, oh 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

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
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
