Not The Real Gaga 7,512 Posted December 14, 2016 Share Posted December 14, 2016 What if the Million Reasons Music Video, the sequel of the Perfect Illusion video, is actually about Gaga and her view towards the music industry nowadays. Read below to get to know my thoughts about it. First: Did Gaga already drop some hints in the Perfect Illusion lyrics? Perfect Illusion may refer to her negative experiences in the music industry, like "Tryin' to keep controle. Pressure's takin' its toll. Stuck in the middle zone." Of course, we know that the song is about love, but maybe some lines have a double meaning. Could those lines above also mean something like this: Gaga's expierence with making ARTPOP, having not enough creative freedom while making her work, her feeling forced to do things she actually doesn't like to do, BUT at the same time feeling the pressure of creating top selling hits (despite the famous line in ARTPOP (the song): "music, not the bling"), if it's not for her, than it's for all the people behind her ("the industry"). Interviews and Music Video clues Recently, Gaga talked a lot about this subject during interviews. Strongly saying that her new album Joanne is really about herself, her family and her life... An album, almost completely made as an "independent artist" (she finally got more freedom to make the things she wanted to make). The Perfect Illusion Music Video also contains some strong and obvious references towards performing arts, feeling bad/depressed, her connection with the music and her fans. Driving lonely in the desert, seeking rest, trying to avoid the still ongoing pressure. What's in the teaser? In the teaser for the Million Reasons Music Video, we see three black SUV's cars driving. MAYBE is this a reference to the music industry, which want to take back control of her, which is going to force her AGAIN to do whatever they want her to do. She has got a hundred Million Reasons to walk away (to quite the music industry, because of all her negative expierences with it), but she just needs one good one to stay (the positive things: her passion for music, and her loyal fans) So, just guessing. We just have to wait to get the answer, finally........ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Computer 10,973 Posted December 14, 2016 Share Posted December 14, 2016 I think it is. G.U.Y. video = Gaga laying down in desert = comment on music industry. MR video = Gaga laying down in desert = comment on music industry. It's what she does in 2nd music videos of eras lately. I just realized the 2nd single is getting a music video for the first time since Judas I am SHOOK (don't count ICGYABL studio video ). SHOOK! 💚💛💕❣⭕💢💢 | ⓜⓔⓡⓡⓨ ©ⓗⓡⓘⓢⓣⓜⓐⓢ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

hELXIG 42,954 Posted December 14, 2016 Share Posted December 14, 2016 I'm skeptical that she will ever release a video that actually targets the industry, but who knows! It definitely does look like 'her people' have come to retrieve her after she's run into the dessert to have a breakdown and let off some steam. I guess she just can't escape them and their pressures! 1 minute ago, Belivet said: I think that is I Can't Give You Anything But Love. Oh! noone counts C2C videos!

Well G.U.Y. music video shows how the music industry just considered her as a money machine (when all the guys take the money on the floor and leave Gaga behind at the beginning of the video) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joshie S 6,070 Posted December 14, 2016 Share Posted December 14, 2016 I've said this from the beginning, Perfect Illusion is 100% about her ex management/Troy Carter, I'm surprised not many fans can clearly see that, especially in the lyrics.. however I do feel Million Reasons is somewhat about Taylor, but yeah I can see where your'e coming from that it could be about Troy also. I mean, Troy WAS a big part of her life, she's obviously reflecting with this album, and he is what helped her become a star, he was her manager for so long, and then to get treated the way she did from a man who she looked up to, she's obviously hurt, and it came out in this album. The melody that you choose can rescue you ♥ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
