Shifting from point of view of a man to a child, Guns N Roses uses cherishing mood, sporadic flashbacks, and constant imagery to emphasize the comfort of a woman he loves and how certain aspects of her remind him of his young childhood memories.
Guns N Roses uses cherishing mood to express how he feels about his significant other. He gives the listener his feelings of what she looks like and compares them to something that is enjoyable. Judging by this song, he feels very strongly of this woman, and has been with her for quite some time for him to be able to know her so well as to feel this comfortable with her. He talks about how her beauty is so captivating, but her beauty is so strong that he would probably cry tears of joy because not only is her appearance beautiful, but herself as a person. People can almost instantaneously figure out the mood right away when the song starts playing.
Using sporadic flashbacks, he compares her to things that he remembers as a child, and how she either enhances the good, or changes it to better. For instance, her smile reminds him of his childhood memories where everything was as fresh as a bright blue sky; meaning that her smile brightens his day and that memory was a good memory. She has eyes of bluest skies as if they thought of rain, so he's trying to figure out if she's thinking of rain and that's the reason why they are so blue. It also means that her eyes are the color of a clear sunny day, and the color blue of the sky on that day. 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; so her hair reminds him of the place he hid as a child from the thunder which scared him, and she makes him feel safe.
Utilizing constant imagery, Guns N Roses depicts what the woman that he's infatuated with looks like. Describing her smile, and how refreshing it is to him and how it reminds him of a bright blue sky. Her eyes are blue, and they are so deep of blue he wonders if she thinks of rain in order to get them to be that blue. Comparing her warm hair to that of the safe place he often hid a child from the thunder, is described to give the listener an image of what this woman looks like. Judging my this song and the fact her eyes are blue, her hair is probably blonde or black, because it's not too often people with red or brown hair have blue eyes.
This is a very good representation of freedom and power, the freedom to love and power to stay. This is a very good power jamming song also, one that you can just let loose and be free, so in all honestly, my theme genre is exactly what you do when listening to this song. This was the time when love wasn't determined by anything except a connection between the 2, nothing else. I enjoy this song very much and love how powerful every word is and the instruments along with it, this song is all around amazing.
