Oh, I love this song. I obviously don't understand the lyrics, but it doesn't take away much from the song, although I know it would've been even better if I did. It's just that his voice, the color of it and the simple music carry so much emotion that I can appreciate it on a more visceral level.
GNR are a great band that for better or for worse are now in my eyes the best pop band we have.
That song though is from their post-punkish period, which is bloody great.
If you're interested in the album that song's from and the Linda Martini one I'd happily point you in the right direction

I agree with your take on the last tune, the emotion its transmits needs no words, although the lyrics are quite beautiful.

Thanks for the feedback and the interest!
