I’d listen to SL and SOAW in their entirety before any of those. What on earth does technically better mean? Are they incorrectly keyed? Rhyme scheme is off? It sounds like personal taste is exactly what you mean. And you’re wrong. "Technically better" means I'm correct.

Battle 4 Ur Life 6,781 Posted May 6 Share Posted May 6 Stupid Love the misunderstood camp bop that you are. I wanted to love SOAW, it’s just ok. it gives me Lady Gaga from multiverse which throws me off a little bit. It’s a little too burlesque and cabaret for my taste. It’s still “a little fun, little fun” tho but I go with the bop. ”Why’d ya come around me with an ass like that?” Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not to get emotional at Funny Thread but this is so heartwarming.

Like a yellow (...?) Like a yellow (...?) In a purple sky The “yellow in a purple sky” lyric felt layered in an unassuming way … yellow and purple are complementary colors on the palatte, so they cancel each other out when overlapped (or create the illusion of muting each other’s vibrance), however they emphasize each other’s vibrancy when oriented in distinction … so the lyric effectually speaks to the difficulty in expressing oneself independent of their environment / incumbent … yellow also feels synonymous with a natural stellar hue, so this could echo the difficulty of natural stardom / star “light” breaking through amidst the depths of manufactured fame culture’s (nocturnal?) darkness … yellow and purple are also the L.A. Lakers colors, and, well, Gaga’s relationship with Hollywood feels relevant within this metaphorical realm as well … but neither here nor there, just musing on potential association 1 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
27monster27 15,869 Posted May 6 Share Posted May 6 I just feel so bad about Stupid Love because you can tell that Lady Gaga loved it a lot. I think it might be the longest she's ever worked on a song in her career. he/him/his Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
