GALAJABAR - Bagi para penggemar musik rock, bulan November akan selalu teringat dengan lagu November Rain milik Guns N' Roses.
Ya, meski dirilis tahun 1991, lau ini tetap enak didengar hingga saat ini. Namun lagu ini sebenarnya bukan bercerita tentang musim hujan di bulan November seperti yang biasa terjadi di Indonesia.
Makna lagu ini bercerita tentang cinta yang tak berbalas atau bertepuk sebelah tangan.

Lagu ini menggambarkan seseorang yang masih sangat mencintai seorang perempuan. Tetapi perempuan itu tidak lagi cinta padanya.
Guns N' Roses dengan cerdas menggunakan metafora untuk mengungkapkan betapa sulitnya mengatasi cinta yang tak terbalaskan ini.

Berikut ini 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, oo yeah
But love is always coming and love is always going
And 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
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

Everybody needs somebody.***
