The speaker in this story is the singer Axl. The song "November Rain" is based on a short story made by Del James called “Without You”. The short story is about a rock star who grieves over his girlfriend committing suicide. This short story was inspired and based on Axl Rose’s relationship with Erin Everly (Velina).

The lyrical piece is directed at people who may be dealing with unrequited love or a relationship in which their mutual feelings toward each other have faded away. The video is more geared towards those who are dealing with loss and grief.

The subject and purpose of the lyrical piece is to show that although a person may be dealing with unrequited love or feelings for someone fading away there is still hope for two people to come together. The subject and purpose of the video are to show that time with loved ones is limited and that one should cherish every moment one can.

The tone of the piece gives off feelings of hope yet patience that eventually love may be reciprocated. The tone of the video is more somber in that it depicts the inevitability of death and that it can come at any moment.

Axl Rose acting as the speaker attempts to tell people who may be dealing with grief or a past relationship that time with loved ones is limited, should be cherished, and the past relationship will work out. They use the appeals of pathos and ethos in the lyrics and the appeals of logos and pathos in the video to get this message across. In analyzing the lyrics and video, it appears that their use of appeals is effective in convincing their intended audience.

In the song "November Rain" there are several attempts to appeal to emotions. The first example of this is: “Just tryna kill the pain, oo yeah.” These lyrics are an example of pathos because the speaker is talking about how in their relationship, they have both felt pain. This appeals to the audience’s feelings of sympathy or even empathy. The next example is: “If we could take the time to lay it on the line / I could rest my head just knowin that you were mine.” This is pathos due to it trying to appeal to a sense of hope that perhaps their relationship can and will work out. Another example is: “I know it's hard to keep an open heart / when even friends seem out to harm you.” This line is an example of pathos because not only is the line expressing empathetic feelings it also attempts to inspire those empathetic or sympathetic feelings within the audience.

The lyrics of "November Rain" try to show the speaker and the other characters' morality and disposition several times throughout the piece. The first example of this is “And no one’s really sure who’s letting go today...” These lyrics are an example of ethos because the speaker is acknowledging that he or his significant other may let go of the relationship. This is describing his character and shows that he was and may still be willing to walk away from their relationship. The next example describing a character's morality is: “Sometimes I need some time all alone." This describes the speaker’s character because he is saying sometimes, he would rather be alone without commitment. Another example is “We’ve been through this such a long long time.” This describes the speaker’s character by alluding to the fact that this relationship has stayed in stasis for a very long time.

The video uses logos by making early attempts to convey the overall story by using both a metaphor and a literal showing of what's happening to the speaker Axl. He is having a nightmare.

The video again uses logos by continuing to unravel the story. In these scenes, we are able to confirm the happenings of a wedding. These scenes are setting up further appeals to pathos by showing us these characters and their heartwarming story together.

Later in the video, we find another example of logos. The scene pans to a view of the bride laying dead in an open casket. This scene fully sets into view the overall story of the video and is crucial for the greatest appeals of pathos later and thus crucial for cementing the overall message of the video.

The video uses pathos by showing us joyful and hopeful scenes during the middle of the story. These scenes appeal to the audience to feel happy for the couple and set up even greater emotional appeals later in the video.

The video again uses pathos by showing us a scene of the speaker in despair following the death of his wife. This scene is emotionally elevated because of the earlier appeals.

Another appeal to pathos is found near the very end of the video. We see a familiar scene of the sleeping speaker Axl tossing and turning in his bed as he experiences the nightmare. This scene appeals more to pathos rather than logos like the earlier nightmare scenes because the story has been revealed to us.

# data[].attributes.body
The lyrics primarily use both ethos and pathos appeal to try to convey the message that two hearts can be reunited. The video uses several appeals of both logos and pathos to frame an emotional story and speak to its audience about how time with loved ones is limited and the time we do have should be cherished. I think the lyrical appeals are effective however I also think that the appeals in the video were much more effective at conveying its message.
