The story behind
Ultraje a Rigor recorded Prisioneiro in 1987, as part of their second album Sexo!!. The song lasts four and a half minutes, and sounds like a story of someone who feels trapped, as if he were in a prison. The rhythm is fast, with a moving guitar and a voice that gets stronger in the verses. The lyrics talk about a person who cannot escape from something, maybe from a place or a situation. There isn't much more to say, just the song and how it sounds. ↓ Skip to chordsIntro 1
