sascha Posted October 14, 2010 Share Posted October 14, 2010 Something I noticed, in the ending of Prostitute, what is like the final chord of the album (consisting of three chords) - is that the same chord progression as in the second half of TWAT, just one step lower? Like where he sings "I would do anything for you", that comes back in the ending of Prostitute just one step deeper, so the final chord/s is basically saying "I would do....anything....for you" without words, just the music being a recital, giving both songs yet one more layer and a connection? Coincidence? Also, both songs use a cuss word for a title but their lyrics express heartfelt emotion. Who is he talking to? A lover? A friend? Music? The audience? Himself? One song appears to be addressing someone else (TWAT) and the other (Prostitute) is more reflective and appears to be more about himself, saying he is no better but trying to find a way out in awareness of the price to remain himself? Notice how prostitute is used only once and as a verb (!) in the lyrics, like "to prostitute". Looks like there's some deep shit going on in these songs.

Azazel Posted October 14, 2010 Share Posted October 14, 2010 Interesting too that these songs are rarely performed live, perhaps an idication of Rose' emotional attachment to the content of them. Nice find on the chord arrangement, not sure on the meaning though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lipfel Posted October 14, 2010 Share Posted October 14, 2010 Don't know, but the ending to Prostitute is basically only Moby's Dead Sun Moby was the producer from CD at the time he released this track, so maybe Axl just liked it and asked him if he could use it?
