Rocket Queen – Guns N Roses
On the song “Rocket Queen,” Axl Rose has stated: “I wrote this song for this girl who was gonna have a band and she was gonna call it Rocket Queen. She kinda kept me alive for a while. The last part of the song is my message to this person, or anybody else who can get something out of it. It’s like there’s hope and a friendship note at the end of the song.”

Suzanne – Leonard Cohen
Leonard Cohen penned the song “Suzanne” for his platonic friend Suzanne Verdal. Verdal was the sculptor Armand Vaillancourt’s girlfriend at the time. The song recounts the friendship between Verdal and Cohen and their rituals together. These include drinking tea, walking around Montreal, and visiting the old churches there. Cohen has maintained that the two were only friends and did not have a physical relationship.
