Five Best Songs About November
And what the song says about November
What does Tom Waits think of November?
Didn’t September and October just fly by? I probably say that every year, but it especially felt that way in 2010. And now all that’s left between us and 2011 is November and December. Hope you said “rabbit, rabbit” this morning for good luck. Below are our favorite songs about November:
#5. “November Spawned a Monster” by Morrissey
Sleep on and dream of love
Because it’s the closest you will get to love
Poor twisted child
So ugly, so ugly
Poor twisted child
Oh hug me, oh hug me
One November
Spawned a monster
In the shape of this child
What This Says About November: Something depressing.
#4. “November Has Come” by Gorillaz
Something has started today
Where did it go? Why you want it to be?
Well you know November has come
And it’s gone away
What This Says About November: That, like September and October, it’ll be gone before we know it. And you know what that means: HANUKKAH!
#3. “Mr. November” by the National
I’m the new blue blood, I’m the great white hope
I’m the new blue blood
I won’t fuck us over, I’m Mr. November
I’m Mr. November, I won’t fuck us over
What This Says About November: That it won’t fuck us over.
#2. “November” by Tom Waits
November has tied me
To an old dead tree
Get word to April
To rescue me
November’s cold chain
What This Says About November: That it’s too cold for plant life, but not cold enough for pretty snow.
#1. “November Rain” by Guns N’ Roses
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
‘Cause nothin’ lasts forever
And we both know hearts can change
And it’s hard to hold a candle
In the cold November rain
What This Says About November: That a hard rock band can totally sell out and still make a pretty awesome ballad. Also, don’t get married in November.
