Sweet Child O' Mine - has been my ALL time favourite. Pure classic piece of modern rock music by now defunct group, Guns N Roses. My special tribute to the group members, Axl Rose (vocals) - Slash (Guitar)- Izzy Stradlin (Guitar) - Duff McKagan (Bass) - Steven Adler (Drums), with this classic hit.
Quoted as :
"... Axl Rose stated that his original concept for the video focused on the theme of drug trafficking. According to Rose, the video was to depict an Asian woman carrying a baby into a foreign land, only to discover at the end that the child was dead and filled with heroin. This concept was rejected by Geffen Records..."

I presume the moral of the story is - If you want to do trafficking, stuff the f**king drug into your own arse!
Well, I quite like the lyrics too.
"...She's got a smile that it seems to me, reminds me of childhood memories where everything was fresh as the bright blue sky..."
The feeling of pure sincere when it was written.

Sweet Child O' Mine
She's got a smile that it seems to me
Reminds me of childhood memories
Where everything was as fresh as the bright blue sky
Now and then when I see her face
She takes me away to that special place
And if I stared too long
I'd probably break down and cry
Sweet child o' mine
Sweet love of mine
She's got eyes of the bluest skies
As if they thought of rain
I hate to look into those eyes
And see an ounce of pain
Her hair reminds me
of a warm safe place
Where as a child I'd hide
And pray for the thunder
And the rain
To quietly pass me by
Sweet child o' mine
Sweet love o' mine
Where do we go
Where do we go now
Where do we go
Sweet child o' mine

Guns N Roses - Thank you for the beautiful piece of music!
