Axl's voice is really cool in it too, in its raw pure sound...
I'm not a dude so I can't help you on the 'gay' question
hehe
but I love what you said you like about the song
"Take a walk away won't end the carousel.
But if walking away can bring you back, then I wish you well."
*sigh*
just reading the lyrics you posted.. I could hear Axl's voice singing them in my head
Maybe its one of those examples where simply having Axl sing it makes a song better then what it is.
Axl voice does have that kind of appeal.
Thing is... not to get off topic too much... but,
I just love Axl's voice...
And it's not cuz its the greatest (technically proficient) voice ever
it's just his voice... the sound of it in any range he sings...
but yeah, definitely love the raw, rough sounding voice he uses hear
rough but not loud at all... just raw - the word you used is perfect... or dare I say 'naked'...
it has this vunerability to it that is very sexy...
*sigh*
haha!
yeah I really love his voice... on this...
and on the original version of Don't Cry...
