erikaisamonster 231 Posted October 21, 2016 Share Posted October 21, 2016 Now that I'm turning 25, I'm slowly but surely becoming an adult with more responsibilities whether I like it or not. Even though i struggle from time to time & am living pay check to pay check JOANNE reminds me how wonderful life truly is. I really needed this album. It's a complete reality check that I should celebrate my family, my friends, my life every single day. Sure, Gaga absolutely slays at making pop dance tracks that send your wigs flying every which way and she always will... But with this record she shares so. much. more. There's a feeling, there's raw vocals, there's risk, there's heartbreak, and there's cohesion unlike anything she's ever done proving why she's not like any other pop musician out there right now. In honor of release day I wanted to see what songs on the record mean the most to you or what the whole album/era means to you Happy JOANNE day to all lil monsters, lil ronsters & lil bloodpopsters xxx Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Surrealist 27,470 Posted October 21, 2016 Share Posted October 21, 2016 It means so much to me. I feel like I'm growing and maturing with Gaga on every album. Her voice reflects my inner self - broken, raw, loving and angry. These songs are so powerful and healing. They are everything I need right now.

It's such an amazing album, one for life. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sister 9,907 Posted October 21, 2016 Share Posted October 21, 2016 It's completely, essentially Lady Gaga for me and I have watched her grow up and this is just her latest journal to life. I always only find Lady Gaga in the heart of her music and eras, even if some songs attach to my life and become my background music to moments that belong only to me. It never stops being about Lady Gaga, for me. The future's uncertain and the end is always near. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam Dey 1,847 Posted October 21, 2016 Share Posted October 21, 2016 joanne means so much to me. It reminds me of the fact that you can always fall back on your creative expression when you can't seem to figure life out. It reminds me that i'm still learning and growing and that I still need to experience so many great things in life Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dramatica 13,690 Posted October 21, 2016 Share Posted October 21, 2016 JOANNE means A-YO to me. That song saved the album tbh I didn't ask for a free ride, I only asked you to show me a real good time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

musicland 467 Posted October 21, 2016 Share Posted October 21, 2016 This is the happiest an album has ever made me feel, which is almost odd considering how much pain she put into it. I feel the connection she worked so hard on building through the music. She is brilliant Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
VFD 57 Posted October 21, 2016 Share Posted October 21, 2016 What I can hear in Joanne is the power of self-realization, and the ability to learn and grow from within. I think that what she said in the Zane Lowe interview was brilliant: about how her catholic upbringing and the loss of Joanne affected her father-daughter relationship. Imagine having lost your sister at the age of 19, only to relive those fears when your daughter decides to go out into the unknown at the same age. This is where the genuiness of the record really shines, and it makes it all the more special. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rockets 1,807 Posted October 21, 2016 Share Posted October 21, 2016 To me, it's a very positive, uplifting record, and listening to it I feel encouraged to connect more with myself and everyone around me, especially my loved ones. And more importantly, it makes me feel like I know Gaga a little bit better as a person The only girl I've ever loved was born with roses in her eyes Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanceInTheFlames 154 Posted October 21, 2016 Share Posted October 21, 2016 My mom died six years ago when I was 19. Gaga's music is the one thing that has stayed constant in my life since then. She has lifted me up in ways I never would have believed and helped me figure out who I am and who I want to be. This album speaks to that part of me again, a part I have long forgotten about. A part of me died the same day my mom did. The part of me that was included in her. A life I will never get to live out. It's gone. And while I've learned to let go by now, sometimes I still find myself so lost. I can't always remember who I am without her and that piece of me that was intertwined with her. As I sing Joanne, at first I sing it to my mom. Trying to hold onto her while she slipped away from us. But then I realize I'm just singing to myself. To that part that died the day she did. I'm an adult now, but sometimes I still feel like a child without her. Life is strange and hard to navigate so independently. My life is great now. I'm happy for the most part. Yet, I still mourn my losses. I always will. Sometimes I have no ****ing idea where I'm going. But I know that I'm at least moving on. Gaga reminds me that there is beauty in the pain, and that truly that child in me never left, he just never got the chance to live out the rest of his life, like my mom, like Joanne.

So very sorry for your loss I also had a tragedy at age 19. (What is it about that age?) I was sexually assualted. My father said "this kind of thing is going to happen," so I never told my parents about my second rape 14 months later. Hearing Gaga say that Joanne was assualted at 19 left me sobbing last night. This album makes me feel less alone, and the title track is my own send-off to my previous life. I moved across the country after college to start a new life. There is beauty in the pain, you just have to open yourself to feeling it. Thank you, Gaga, for helping us all look at our own cadavers and seeing the beauty within them.
