misunderstood 8,736 Posted January 31, 2020 Share Posted January 31, 2020 I wasn't aware it was a Lover outtake until I watched the doc, makes me love it even more "I'd rather be poor and happy, than rich and alone" Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
COOOK 76,406 Posted January 31, 2020 Share Posted January 31, 2020 I like it, it's nice. Only it doesn't look like a reject. More like the song she took away just for this occasion, she was planning this documentary for quite some time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
me069 284 Posted January 31, 2020 Share Posted January 31, 2020 I really liked it the first time I heard it. But after watching her NF documentary the song makes so much more sense and I love it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
StrawberryBlond 14,902 Posted January 31, 2020 Share Posted January 31, 2020 I still feel like she has a very adolescent way of approaching political songs. I still feel like I'm hearing a teenager when she sings them and at 30, that's not a good thing. You should be able to write a political song with more prowess and wisdom at that age. Her platitudes just sound like the same cliches. I also think it's going to take more than young people to change things. They're of course a major force for change but they're not the be all and end all. It's championing the young over the elders that ensures that disrespect because of age continues. There may be a lot of young people but older people outnumber them, so it's going to have to be them you convince when you really think about it. And it's insulting to suggest that only the young are open-minded and liberal. The previous generations set down the groundwork for them, after all.

I was trying to think why her political songs are so weird to me. After all she’s been through as an artist you would think she would be able to make a stronger statement through music. Her 2 political songs I’m aware of just come off as childish, “us vs. them”, and one dimensional to me. Shameless Gaga plug but I still can’t believe she was able to make such an amazing political song with Americano at such a young age. I mean, it’s a song about falling in love with an immigrant woman, and she’s able to have this love song basically become a political love song that discussed not only Immigration but gay marriage as well, while not having to “call out” anyone in the process (not that that’s a bad thing, it’s just very cliche to have this mentality in political songs). “Mis canciones son de la re-revolución Mi corazón me duele por mi generación” Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr S 8,691 Posted February 1, 2020 Share Posted February 1, 2020 Its a decent. I like that she seems to not care about hits and just wants to give a message. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
