Time is fake and I hate it

my god this makes me feel old

Wow this takes me back. I remember waiting up all night in the U.K. and it playing on the radio at like 5/6am. It felt so good for her to be back after ARTPOP

This is literally what I had in mind

"MAKE IT STOP"

Amazing song and video. Not everybody appreciates this type of music and that's ok. I think

Maybe for the 10th anniversary she'll drop a remaster/remix of the album.

Still sad that we never had official remixes of "Perfect Illusion". I read there was DJWS one, bbutit was canned last minute.

I remember waking up at 5:50am (European time) to wait for the premiere. After first listen I was a bit disappointed, but it changed quickly.

the way this video aged so beautifully and is still so fun to watch without the usual high fashion, cgi or blatant storyline is just *chefs kiss*

if you get it, you get it

I love that the song, and video, it was her returm after what took place during ARTPOP. 

It was really a hit back statement towards T*oy C*rter, ex management... (and also the fans, in a way)

(I'm over the show at least now I know it wasn't love, it was a perfect illusion) her talking about how she always thought her management loved her but it was all a perfect illusion because they all saw her as a money making machine. 

Dilated falling free, in a modern ecstasy... somewhere in all the confusion...

8 years?! I'm gonna pretend that's a typo and you meant 4
