    "Cold November Rain"

    The narrative quality of the music video accentuated the epic nature of the song. The video (directed by Andrew "Andy" Morahan) [7] portrays Rose marrying his then-girlfriend Stephanie Seymour, intercut with a live performance in a theatre. Particularly, it can be noted for its large budget (about $1 million, including Seymour's dress) and sweeping cinematography, which won an MTV Video Music Award for Best Cinematography. It is one of the most expensive music videos ever.

    As stated at the end of the video, "November Rain" is based on the short story "Without You" by Del James, available in his 1995 book The Language of Fear. The story concerns a rock star grieving over the death of his on-and-off-again girlfriend, who had committed suicide (inspired by Rose's troubled relationship with Erin Everly).

    While much speculation exists about how Seymour's character in the video died, the relationship between the video clip and James' short story strongly suggests that she kills herself. She appears looking visibly troubled during one shot of the wedding and during the funeral sequence, a mirror is visible, covering over half her face, a technique used by funeral homes to allow victims of head trauma to have the appearance of a full face in the event of an open casket funeral

    A lot of sections in here strike me as strangely similar to the experience of waking up/leaving WT.

    True love is a sacred flame
    That burns eternally,
    And none can dim its special glow

    Just about all of the music of Yanni. Especially the music from his "Live At The Acropolis" video. I especially love the opening piece, "Santorini", and later on in the performance "Swept Away". People might "laugh me off the face of the Earth" for saying that, but, hey, his music, to me, is rather refreshing! Best Regards, everyone.
