Sinner's Prayer. It's a riveting deep story. Come to Mama, Joanne and Diamond Heart are next.

Where did this picture come from?

The picture is from the booklet, and then someone added the words I think.

definitely.

I voted for Joanne, but Diamond Heart & Sinner's Prayer are easily my other top 2 songs on the album.

Sinner's Prayer is the one of the best songs from Joanne, it gives me old Madonna vibes, I love it 

What Madonna songs have you been listening to

But Sinners Prayer is a great song

WHY IS NO ONE PICKING PERFECT ILLUSION! Its a masterpiece!! Best song on the album. Its in her top 5 best songs! 

And why is John Wayne not on there 

[Bear 7,515]

I can't pick, there are so many  Joanne (Song), Angel Down, Just Another Day, Diamond Heart, A-YO, Million Reasons etc

 It's one of the reasons why it is my favourite Gaga album. It may not be a conceptual album or "artistic" like her past albums, but her skills as an artist in both writing and composing these songs I think has never been better.

ARTPOP lyrics are genius! ARTPOP's lyrics beat all of her other albums! 

Example

"Greetings Himeros, God of Sexual Desire. Son of Aphrodite. Lay back and feast as this audio guides you through new and exciting positions.........Mount your goddess. A summer moon comes into full phase. And Mars' warring spirit rams into the atmosphere."

Literally those 2 lines beat all of her other songs!

Come to Mama, shame she didn't write much of it  

Beyond that though, idk...I appreciate the simplicity of Joanne. Diamond Heart is also pretty direct. Sinner's Prayer is pretty nice, even if its musically my least favorite track on the record

Tbh I didn't like Sinner's Prayer that much when I first heard it. But honestly it's so good now. It's definitely the best lyrically.

Sinner's Prayer hands down. 

 

Just Another Day (the layout and feel I don't necessarily take a like to, but) could take second cake. 

 

Contrary to popular reception, I probably find Perfect Illusion one of her best songs, lyrically. 

 

The lyrics are straight to the point and equally effective. Many call it generic, but I call it a hell of an emotion in the form of one track. You can even hear it in her voice. It charges my adrenaline every time. 

I agree on the PI lyrics.

Perfect Illusion / Angel Down 

[hELXIG 43,030]

I don't think I could vote for just one, they're all beautiful in their own ways.

Joanne though is up there for me. The lyrics are so simple, but so touching. It sounds like somebody holding their loved ones hand while they're on their death bed, begging them to not leave them, while their heart shatters. Then after two verses of desperation and denial, the bridge brings acceptance "I know where you're going, and baby, you're just moving on"

If I think about it this way, it always makes me emotional. And good lyrics will always evoke emotion.

[hELXIG 43,030]

P.S. I love Just Another Day as well. Highly underrated.

[junolxf 8,654]

Poor DiC tho. 

[Lassex 1,169]

Just Another Day and Angel Down Oh, and I love the line ''Why do we gotta tell each other how to live / The only prisons that exist are ones we put each other in'' from Come To Mama

I do love the metaphorical, sometimes cryptic lyrics throughout the BTW album.

But I actually think I prefer the more straight-forward lyrics on the Joanne album. Even when she does use metaphors, it's much more obvious what she's actually singing about. I feel the emotions so much more deeply in those songs.  

I still don't think I fully understand what's she's talking about in some of BTW's songs (although I don't mind, it's still amazing and probably my second favorite album by her!)
