I love it. I love the whole album. No skips and this one is gorgeous.

 

About the "this sounds similar to something". There are many songs with this chord progression, someone even made a playlist on spotify. I think one of the earliest is Bruce Springsteen - You'll Be Coming Down.

Funny enough, Jennie just released a song with similar verses called Start a War. (It is one of the worst songs I've ever heard, but I digress.)

This opened with such inspirations of dark Lana Del Rey, Gaga has been crying out to release a song like this. This takes me back to ASIB days, Gaga loves this timeless ballad sound and it makes her shine so beautifully. She rarely makes a true love song like this in the sense of being about deep and meaningful, sustained love without any darkness involved and it makes me so happy for how happy she is right now. The way it so effortlessly instrumentally merges into DWAS meaning that the song wasn't tacked on unnecessarily is genius and it means we end the album without such a melancholy sound.

The melody and chord progression really reminds me of Keane - Everybody's Changing, does anyone else hear that similarity?

Yes, I hear it too, and so many other songs, like the ones in this post I've made in another thread. (But I think of all these similar melodies, Gaga made it the best version)
