Song of the Day – Day 4 – Sweet Child Of Mine Guns and Roses

Song of the Day – Day 4 – Sweet Child of Mine – Guns ‘n’ Roses

This is song 4 on actual day for, let’s hope day 5s are on the right day now. This song was on the 1987 Appetite for Destruction album but wasn’t released as a single until August 1988. Those were the day’s hey not knowing about a song for 8 months if you didn’t buy the LP. Music has become a bit too accessible now it doesn’t seem as special anymore, but that’s a topic for another day and another blog.  The song was written about Axl Roses then girlfriend Erin Everly and was written in one afternoon.

The song was a huge success and reached number 1 in the US and number 6 in the UK. It was certified Platinum in Italy, Platinum in the UK and Platinum in the US.  It is also number 198 in the Rolling stones top 500 greatest songs of all time, number 6 in Q Magazines greatest Guitar Hits and number 210 on the RIAA Songs of the century.

Here are the Lyrics:

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’d 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

[3x]
Sweet child o’ mine
Sweet love of mine

[4x]
Where do we go?
Where do we go now?
Where do we go?
Sweet child o’ mine

Do you know this song? I am sure you do, if you do what do you think of it? Do you think it deserves it’s high acclaim. I personally think it does and that this is one of the best Guns and Roses songs. Do you agree, I would love to hear your opinions ?
