I used to love Joanne album, but never got into Just Another Day. It was always a skip for me… So unless you’re trolling, I’ll give it another listen maybe! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

And of course, she’s amazing - simply for writing Bad Romance, but still - maybe she’s not the smartest one - considering she put out the whole album of songs you reject… Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LGAte 841 Posted 21 hours ago Share Posted 21 hours ago (edited) Happy Mistake is great songwriting and I’m mad it wasn’t on Mayhem. Honestly Die With A Smile makes much more sense on the Harlequin album, while Happy Mistake makes much more sense on Mayhem. Die With A Smile literally is so Joker coded and gives the weird 70s vibe of that movie and is a love song like the movie is a weird love story. Happy Mistake literally talks about broken mirrors and that’s the Mayhem album cover. And conceptually, the album is….a Happy Mistake. lowkey LG7 makes more sense being titled Happy Mistake because it’s an album about how the darkness turns out to be okay after all. You can accept your shards of glass and they can be beautiful. Your mistakes can still lead to a happy ending. That’s what Mayhem is about…not….Mayhem.

JAD is such a banger and the closest she's come post The Fame to her banging her foot on the piano at the Bitter End and I love everything about that song! OT tho, her writing is wonky a many of times. "Look into my wishful eyes" makes me clench every time I listen to that song and sometimes I think of her as Tammy Brown in that one untucked, screaming "IM WRITING" when she puts these lyrics down. And then there are these banger lines that I just can't forget. My first tattoo has been on my shoulder "Don't wanna kiss, don't wanna touch, just smoke my cigarette and hush", with a wooden pipe (Alejandro MV) and I'd say you find more beautiful written moments than cringey, but still, they are there 😅 I made my peace with it and embrace the cheese factor. There are many other artists I can go to if I want great lyricism, Gaga checks every other box a thousand times, I can give her some shortcomings in writing saving people, hunting things - the family business Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like the images in enigma and the lyrics of replay, 911 . 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cherry Blues 351 Posted 3 hours ago Share Posted 3 hours ago (edited) Her best lyrics were on The Fame and The Fame Monster, they were tricky, ironic... For example: "bluffin with my muffin" was funny or the tricky: "I'm just stunnin' with my love-glue-gunnin'c" Silly was "or wear an ear condom next time" in Judas. The song Born This Way is well-written. Edited 3 hours ago by Cherry Blues Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The song Born This Way is well-written. I think on Born This Way she went full on free and wild and crazy. On The Fame she tried to contain herself - so to make many mainstream hits - that’s why half of The Fame is basic themes about money, sex, boys, parties… and TFM is somewhere between those two in terms of lyrical and creative freedom Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
