Awrah999 4,354 Posted May 3, 2022 Share Posted May 3, 2022 Literally so unbelievably beautiful and earthquakingly powerful that I’m making up new words just to try to capture it’s vocal and sonic perfection Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mamo 19,197 Posted May 3, 2022 Author Share Posted May 3, 2022 this track is honestly what I’ve wanted from Gaga for the LONGEST time. an absolute classic power ballad and boy did she deliver! also this is what you really want from the main theme from an epic movie soundtrack…it sounds timeless! and the power in her vocals…she’s never sounded better! i truly think this is an instant classic. Ï could be your girlfriend for the weekend... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Puddin 1,209 Posted May 3, 2022 Share Posted May 3, 2022 So beautiful! Her voice is huge and can’t wait to sing it at the top of my lungs while I cruise down the street in my muscle car Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mcerre 25 Posted May 3, 2022 Share Posted May 3, 2022 I feel like a lot of people trashing the intro, i actually like it. It is unique for a ballad. Also the off-pitch intro sound it feels like /sounds like she’s hurt and crying. It is very emotional. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BARKDANGER 855 Posted May 3, 2022 Share Posted May 3, 2022 As with most Gaga songs, the first listening of the song I am always indifferent. The second time I listened to, I fall in love with it. A strong power ballad! Is it ground-breaking…no. But after 2 years of Covid and social distancing, a simple lyric such as “Hold My Hand” is so heartwarming. This song has a strong meaning in so many ways! I really like it. I can see the GP really liking this song, especially the older folks. “I’m on the edge of glory…” Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt 469 Posted May 3, 2022 Share Posted May 3, 2022 It's not really a song for me, the production isn't my taste. I wasn't too excited for it, since I don't really listen to any of Gaga's movie songs on a regular basis (ASIB Soundtrack or TIHTY) I literally thought there was something wrong with the track when I heard the intro. BUT it is always great to hear a new Gaga song and I'm sure it will sound amazing live in a stadium, I can see this being the last song on the tour, ending the Chromatica Ball with a sea of fireworks.

monketsharona 83,179 Posted May 3, 2022 Share Posted May 3, 2022 Just a random post saying people really should stop trashing BloodPop. The guy just proved being one of the most versatile Lady Gaga producer ever. Producing the pop country Joanne, the very Gaga EDM Chromatica & the powerful pop rock ballad Hold My Hand Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NT78 1,230 Posted May 3, 2022 Share Posted May 3, 2022 As a (rare?) GenX Gaga fan, this song sounds like it could be straight out of the original Top Gun film. The 80s power ballad sound is SPOT ON. It's remarkable how they nailed that era with this song. The verse lyrics are meh. I mean, sounds very generic but it's for a movie, so I didn't expect too much there. That said, this line will become THE line from this song: "SO CRY, TONIGHT, BUT DONT YOU LET GO OF MY HAND!!!" Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

PartySick 161,374 Posted May 3, 2022 Share Posted May 3, 2022 I'm only gonna make one post about it to be buried in this thread and never seen again as I don't want to rain on anyone's good time but I also feel like sharing my opinion...as irrelevant as it may be I. Cannot. Wait. For the day she stops working with Bloodpop I didn't care for the song before I knew he produced it, btw, but it's nice to know that every Gaga project I either dislike or am indifferent to has his freaking name on it. It's just Before I Cry with worse lyrics and bigger drums The intro, while cool, is totally out of place and has nothing to do with the rest of the song. It's like driving a racecar into your kitchen to make a sandwich. It doesn't make sense. Had there been some reprisal of it somewhere else in the song, it would have been ok but no...it's just...there unless I missed it in my three listenings. But oh well AMAZING vocals but I can get those from a number of projects I actually adore so...back to Love For Sale for me enjoy the Hold My Hand mini era, little Handjobs I'm glad so many of you love it You're stinky Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
