November Rain

"November Rain" by Guns N' Roses is a power ballad originally performed in the key of C major. Released in 1992 as part of their album "Use Your Illusion I," the song was composed by the band's lead vocalist, Axl Rose. An interesting fact is that "November Rain" features an orchestral arrangement by Rose, recorded with a 40-piece orchestra, which adds a grandiose and cinematic quality to the song. The melody showcases dynamic shifts in intensity, emotive vocals, and iconic guitar solos by Slash, making it one of Guns N' Roses' most enduring and beloved tracks.
