Love this song and album; it gives a really nice vibe. kind of overwhelmed, exhausted. Kind of how I feel when I am in NYC to be honest.

I always thought the head verse said "I love it, I need it, I feed it . . . ain't selling, it's all mine."

"November Rain is a song about not wanting to be in a state of having to deal with unrequited love." - Axl Rose

This song is absolutely fabulous, and my favourite of all time. The emotional intensity of the lyrics combines beautifully with the soaring melodies to take the listener on a journey from despair into hope. I'll now offer my interpretation of the lyrics, which I feel is true to Axl's original intention.

As Axl says, the song is about unrequited love. He is still very much in love with a woman, but she is no longer in love with him. He uses a metaphor to express how difficult it is to cope with unrequited love: "It's hard to hold a candle, in the cold November rain." Here, holding the candle stands for him trying to hold onto his love for her, while the cold November rain is the absence of her love. It is difficult to love someone who does not return the feeling. And inevitably, his love will also die, just as the candle will be extinguished by the rain. He does not want this to happen, but eventually it will, unless she can recover her love.
So that's the central message. I'll now do it fully, lyric by lyric.
"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"
>
"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"
>
Here the music changes completely from the more melodious orchestra to what sounds like a breakdown, with wailing guitars and sinister chanting. Although there is hope for the future, the current situation is still causing him immense pain.
"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"

It is a song for rich swingers. The old ones love it especially.

I heard some interviews about PE'AHI, and Sune expirienced at lot in 2013/2014 where he wrote the songs. His Dad died and he almost drowned in Hawaii. If you seach on spotify for "PE'AHI with commentary" youll get the meaning of the song- Told by the man behind the words, Sune Rose Wagner :)

It is a questioning of life in the stars. It is a call out of curiosity. It is the search of something impossible.

I wonder if it's about a depressed fellow & his love interest; and helping to restore hope & spirit & identity by resolving mental health issues. That's what I get at least.
