"So never mind the darkness, we still can find a way. Cause nothing last forever, even cold November Rain."
Memasuki November, ini lagu menjadi salah satu yang wajib putar. Yup, November Rain. Lagu milik Guns N' Roses (GNR) ini rilis pada 1991 bersama album kedua, Use Your Illusion I. November Rain dirilis sebagai single pada Juni tahun berikutnya, menyusul single pertamanya, Don't Cry dan kedua, Live and Let Die. Di YouTube, tayangan video official November Rain sudah ditonton lebih dari 17 juta kali, yang menjadikan lagu ini dinobatkan sebagai salah satu lagu 90-an dengan penonton terbanyak di YouTube.
Dengan segala kesuksesannya tersebut, siapa sangka kalau sebelumnya lagu ini tak diperhitungkan. Karya keroyokan Saul Hudson, Izzy Stradlin, Duff McKagan, Darren A Reed, Matt Sorum, Axl Rose ini sempat ditolak personel GNR. Lagu ini sudah selesai dibuat pada 1986, setahun mereka merilis album pertama, Appetite for Destruction. Setelah diputuskan untuk masuk di album kedua, ternyata sambutan pasar sangat antusias. Durasinya yang panjang tak menyurutkan radio broadcast untuk menyiarkannya. November Rain memecahkan rekor menjadi lagu terpanjang yang pernah masuk tangga lagu Billboard. Prestasinya hingga di posisi ketiga Billboard Hot 100.

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 rainIf 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
