Joshie S 5,715 Posted 4 hours ago Share Posted 4 hours ago I’ve noticed no one seems to be discussing the other original song from the new Harlequin album, Folie à Deux. Gaga wrote this waltz and has mentioned it a few times in interviews. When I first listened to it, I had to stop and replay—it instantly grabbed me with its lyrics. The opening line, "Take my hand, stay here, my friend," immediately reminded me of Joanne: “Take my hand, stay Joanne, heaven’s not ready for you” — Joanne. Later in Folie à Deux, something caught my attention in the third verse when Gaga sings: “I know where we’re going, know where we’re going… and it’s a heaven.” It brought to mind the iconic lyric from Joanne: “Girl, where do you think you’re goin'? Girl, where do you think you're goin', goin', girl?" Another intriguing line follows the mention of heaven: "An island for when we’ll both settle in, a paradise." This made me wonder if we could finally be hearing Paradise, the long-rumoured jazz track she supposedly wrote during Cheek to Cheek. Do you think these similarities are just coincidences, or could the two songs be connected? Especially since Gaga referenced the JWT tape in the cover art, it feels like a deliberate choice of lyrics for the original waltz, which she describes as “falling apart” in the film—much like she did at the JWT. Thoughts on the song? I think it's beautiful and deserves more attention The melody that you choose can rescue you ♥ 6 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agunimon 21,450 Posted 3 hours ago Share Posted 3 hours ago This one is my favorite track. I'm disappointed there isn't a lot of discourse about it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anderson123 34,427 Posted 2 hours ago Share Posted 2 hours ago Happy Mistake and Folie a Deux are my favorites. Maybe because they’re originals or they’re just that good but you’re right, it deserves to be talked about more. The lyrics do seem like it could he Paradise and there was another thread about it. I’m very very curious to hear Joker soundtrack and find out if it’s going to be the exact same song or is there a “Lee” vocals version of it over there. I assume they will push that for Original Song at the Oscars. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

artd0me 477 Posted 1 hour ago Share Posted 1 hour ago As I already said in the Harlequin discussion thread: it’s also my favorite song of the album, it’s pure art. The beginning of the song reminds me of Disney’s Cinderella, and later during that part where you hear that background “choir” sing, I see princesses dancing and twirling around while at the same time thinking of a circus/carnival that song… wow Gaga Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
lilboyblue 3,046 Posted 1 hour ago Share Posted 1 hour ago That's a really interesting catch! Yep, I see it as definitely deliberate. She knows what she's doing starting a new song woth those words. It lyrically could be Joanne, Part Deux. We also know that the film version doesn't have vocals, so she had a freehand in the story she'd like to tell in the song. Maybe it's her telling us that she's not lost anymore like she was before. She knows the path forward now. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
