Title: What is November Rain about?
Post by: Lostrose on May 23, 2007, 12:42:17 PM
So im having an argument with the girl im gonna marry. 

  I want our first dance to be to November Rain.  She says no, because the song is about her not loveing him the way that he loves her.  and something else, and something else (something about someone walking away from the other). 

  I think the song is about them loving each other, he's saying i cant live without you, or "ill just end up walking, in the cold november rain." 

  I realize in the video she dies at the end; ending aside, what do you think this song about?

? I want our first dance to be to November Rain.? She says no, because the song is about her not loveing him the way that he loves her.? and something else, and something else (something about someone walking away from the other).?

? I think the song is about them loving each other, he's saying i cant live without you, or "ill just end up walking, in the cold november rain."?

Yeah I've heard that too.

My personal interpretation is that the song describes a great love between two people.  That relationship hits snags for many reasons, and the latest one was major, putting the two at a crossroads.  However, the song implies that the love remains.  Ultimately the song, and the resolution, is open-ended.

The video basically follows the plot of a short story written by Del James.  The song itself does not indicate that the girl kills herself.

That's dedication.  Stick to your guns on this one.  Good luck!  It's a beautiful song, regardless of what it may or may not mean.  I think it's a fine choice.

I think The Blues is a fine song, but not as a wedding song.  It's not exactly about peace, love, and happiness.

It is the story of a fight of passion!
Between two men and a little lady!

Male #1 and male #2 end up killing the object of their affection. Male #2 (akaMr Blonde) plays the 'wedding card' and decides to hold an outdoor reception in November. No regard for the fact that the weather can be quite unpredictable at this time of the year!.....It rained, she caught a cold and died.
Someone just got a little too passionate!

I don't know if NR is the best song to play at the wedding since "nothing lasts forever" is repeated a few times in the song.

November Rain is about the importance of jackets and umbrellas in late fall.

Just watched November rain on V1! and I have decided that it is one of the funniest film clips that I have ever seen! Through the laughter it all just made perfect sense!!

And why does Axl look the guy from Phantom of Paradise in one scene?

I know how the title came about.

Some of November Rain happened to be written on a hot rainy night in November. It was originally going to be called Californian Rain. If you sing that instead of 'cold November' you see it fits. However, that would have been too obvious.

I think Axl is taking this sroty a little to personal if you ask me...

Excerpt from Without You, by Del James.
Quote
He grabbed a cold can, killing half of it in one sip. He did this every morning. Instantly, his aching head began to feel better. Although he didn't want to admit it, the time had arrived to rejoin the living. He knew he had to be at the studio soon but didn't feel up to it. Besides, the recording of his latest album, Alone, had been finished over a month ago. The album was now in the final mixing stages. If Mayne liked what he heard, he'd approve it and the record would be released on schedule. If not, it would have to be remixed until he did approve. So then, what the fuck did they need him for? He procrastinated for as long as he possibly could before finally standing up.

Swap Mayne for Axl. Alone for Chinese Democracy and we have a pattern.
