So I just watched the video for November Rain again, cause it was in an earlier post...and yeah. It still remains as a powerful thing for me. Before its always been Slash's solos, but this time it was more just the movement of the song. Like just it takes you (if you let it) to a different place emotionally...not necessarily a happy one, but a beautiful one that deserves as much respect as any other.
At this point in my life, I don't know who will plan my funeral, but I want this song played at some point, either during the funeral, burial, or wake. Probably at my wake. I'm traditional enough that GNR at my funeral or burial seems weird. But yeah, listen and enjoy...its like a book or a movie...and emotional vacation (in that it produces different ones than you're already feeling). Nothing intrinsically good or bad...just feeling. Whoever chooses the music...keep that in mind...that's what I love about music (and art in all forms).
On a happier note (though with just having celebrated dia de los muertos, its really not a particularly unhappy thought) I am thrilled to pieces with the weather we are having. It makes me think about and really appreciate the fact that I can take lovely moonlit walks in the crisp fall air and just be. Its a beautiful thing when you struggle as I do. Peace and contentment are something that must be treasured. And clear crisp fall nights are something that I have to take advantage of!
