“Patience” is a song by the American hard rock group Guns N’ Roses, which appears on the album G N’ R Lies and was released as a single in 1989. The song peaked at number four on the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart. The song is played using four acoustic guitars, and was recorded in a single session by producer Mike Clink. A music video of the song was shot and appears on the band’s music video DVD, Welcome to the Videos. The music and lyrics were written by rhythm guitarist and founding member, Izzy Stradlin.
The motivation for the track is generally accepted to be the troublesome relationship between Axl Rose and now ex-wife Erin Everly, though this was never stated in the album or interviews. It has been stated by the band that Izzy wrote the song about his ex-girlfriend Angela Nicoletti McCoy. Other points of view point to the video and suggest it is about failed relationships in general. In the video, the band members are situated in a hotel where they are the only constant images, and all other people are present for a moment, then fade away. More recently fans have taken another view on the song, as now Rose is the only remaining member from the original lineup. In an ironic and precognitive twist, the final parts of the video show Rose sitting alone in his home watching older Guns N’ Roses videos in what appears to be a sad and lonely state.

The part: "Said sugar take the time, Cause the lights are shining bright" Always gets to me. It sends chills down my spine. Hell, this whole song does.

two things. first, this isn't from "greatest hits"... that's just sad. second, one of the best versions of this song is the live one, where slash does the riff from led zeppelin's "over the hills and far away", then "imagine" (and the crowed sings), then onto patience's finish.
