SEAToday.com, Los Angeles – Lagu November Rain milik Guns N Roses (GNR) selalu dikaitkan dengan bulan November yang memasuki musim penghujan. Padahal Axl Rose sebagai vokalis GNR mendapat ilham untuk menulis lirik lagu November Rain terkait cinta pada pasangan.

Melansir dari berbagai sumber, sebenarnya November Rain sudah selesai diciptakan Axl saat ia belum membentuk GNR atau ketika masih menjadi anggota band LA Guns pada tahun 1983. Menurut penuturan Tracii rekan Axl di LA Guns mengatakan dia kaget ketika Axl tiba-tiba memainkan November Rain dengan piano dan terdengar syahdu.

“Axl pernah berkata: ‘suatu saat lagu ini akan sangat keren’. Kemudian saya jawab, ‘Lagu itu sudah keren, tapi belum selesai.’ Di manapun, entah di hotel atau di tempat lain selama ada piano di sana, (Axl)  selalu memainkan November Rain,” papar Tracii.

Barulah ketika Axl memutuskan berkarier dalam dunia musik, November Rain resmi dirilis. November Rain masuk dalam album Use Your Illusion pada tahun 1992 Siapa yang akan menyangka lagu November Rain akan menjadi salah satu lagu tersukses GNR selain Sweet Child O’mine yang jadi lagu favorit sejuta umat di dunia.

Mungkin banyak yang mengira saat mendengar opening lagu, November Rain akan menjadi salah satu lagu balada pop yang menye-menye. Tapi ketika di pertengahan lagu ada distorsi gitar hingga melodi ciamik dari gitaris GNR, Slash membuat November Rain menjadi sangat megah dan terdengar mahal.

Apakah anda tahu jika sebenarnya November Rain memiliki versi asli selama 25 menit namun karena dianggap terlalu lama akhirnya dipangkas menjadi 8 menit 59 detik? Itu belum termasuk dengan video klip November Rain yang pada era 1990-an disebut sebagai salah satu video klip termahal yang memakan biaya sampai 1,5 juta dolar Amerika Serikat.

Kisah November Rain terinspirasi dari cerita pendek karya Del James yang berjudul Without You yang merupakan penggalan dari cerita The Language of Fear. Inti dari lirik November Rain ada tentang hubungan toxic Axl dangan pasangannya yang bernama Erin Everly.

Ada juga cerita lain dibalik November Rain mengenai hubungan cinta yang bertepuk sebelah tangan. Seorang Axl yang terkenal garang saat tampil di panggung mendadak menulis dan menyanyikan lagu cinta.

Ketika rasa luka pada hati muncul, hujan di bulan November tidak dapat mengobati dibandingkan kehadiran sosok pujaan hati disisinya. Nah, berhubung sudah masuk bulan November, coba deh dengerin November Rain saat rintik hujan turun. Rasakan sensasinya yang tak terkira. Berikut lirik lagu 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?

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, ooh yeah

Love is always coming, love is always going

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?

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?

Oh, oh, oh

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, 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

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
