November Rain
It was well past midnight, yet sleep refused to entertain me.
Insomnia is a nice girl friend, but it's when she becomes your wife that all hell breaks loose. Then sleep also refuses to be a good mistress.
Way up on the 11th floor, at this ungodly hour, the silence is deafening... Not even the crickets can be heard.
And that's when the rhythmic pitter-patter breaches the calmness. Yep, it's November rain.
Standing on my balcony, it felt as if hundreds of stars had descended to Earth, acquiring a yellow tinge in the process, and I was observing this lot through a constantly downward-moving tattered curtain.
And then the background music starts off as if on cue. Guns n' Roses, November Rain. Coincidence?
'Cause nothin' lasts forever
And we both know hearts can change
And it's hard to hold a candle
In the cold November rain
And we both know hearts can change
And it's hard to hold a candle
In the cold November rain
Do they have songs for every context? Or is it we who discover something relevant in songs to match the situation we're in?
Whatever.
Like Steven Tyler sang it once, "... I could stay lost in this moment... forever"
