November Rain

Geffen, under Universal. The vow is filmed. The rain is the truth.

Geffen released it. Universal owns Geffen. The piano promises a life. The lyric knows the promise is already wet. People cry at the wedding in the video and miss that the song is about the after.

Beautiful is not the same as durable. This record is the difference.

The eight

Industry
8/10
Nine minutes, arranged. Someone meant every swell.
Household
5/10
A wedding that becomes a funeral of the feeling.
Piety
3/10
Nothing is steady enough to trust.
Courage
5/10
He stays in the feeling past the point of comfort.
Republic
3/10
A spectacle, not a town.
Temperance
4/10
The appetite for the dramatic is the risk.
Truth
6/10
Nothing lasts forever, and he is not coy about it.
Stewardship
4/10
A big picture of a bond that failed. Not a way to start one.

Live historicallyIf someone thinks a large feeling is a marriage, play the last two minutes and ask what is left when the rain starts.

Free Fallin'

MCA, under Universal. He tells on himself. The town he leaves is the good one.

MCA released it. Universal holds MCA. People sing the chorus as freedom. The verses list a girl's goodness and then his exit.

Sing it only if you will say who is actually free, and who is just gone.

No reverence for the place that made him.
Courage

Truth
7/10
He does not pretend he is the wounded one.

A confession, if the house hears it as one.
