About par for Lady GaGa. Guess I'm just from another time when music had more meaning (Woodstock was AWESOME!). Saddest thing was after what many thought to be his most memorable performance Jimmy Hendrix was dead almost a year to the day later.
Today we get 'stars?' of this calabre. Very sad. Since I gave my age away is there anyone else of my vintage out there who understands what I'm saying about a time when you could tell what band did what song just by hearing the song, even if you'd never heard THAT particular song before (If you're from my generation, think of Boston......heard one of their songs, you heard 'em all but there was ever a question about what group recorded the song? ELO, The Stones, The Beatles, The Mama's & The Papa's, Rod Stewart, The Who, The Guess Who, etc., etc., etc.. Groups had an individual style back then. Today they all sound the same with lyrics which are just meaningless babble.
@MercurialIrish I am over 60 and my older sister made sure I was fully exposed to everything rock and roll. Thank you Sis! Went over the album listings for Woodstock. You know what? Most are not very deep or meaningful. What made them meaningful for most of us was the setting, what was happening around us. Give credit where credit is due. When I heard this song in the theater, it brought tears to my eyes-and I really didn't know why? My hearing is starting to go, but something made it through to my brain. I'm not a big...

I'm not a big GAGA fan, but this song is good on many levels. I hope she returns to this simple and deep type of song. Kudos to Gaga, Mark Ronson, Anthony Rossomando, and Andrew Wyatt, I am still picking this song apart.
@MercurialIrish Hi there. I am 60 years old so I'm getting where you're coming from because I loved the old songs and agree that a lot of today's songs sound the same, but there are some that are very deep and meaningful and to group this song in with those you call Meaningless babble is not so for me.

@MercurialIrish as to me, I'm over 60 as well. Raised up with Pink Floyd, The Eagles, 10 CC, Neil Young, Bob Dylan and many more Flemish useless singers and bands. No fan of Lady Gaga at all. However this song drew my attention as it sounds very emotional, moving. As I did with with Pink Floyd lyrics as a youngster, I tried to understand the message in this story.
Dive into the deep of live. Take a risk, escape from the shallow.

I feel it may be your lack of musicality evolution, rather than other generations. Music has definitely changed and evolved. That’s just how evolution of life is, especially in our highly technological modern age. Music has evolved with technology. It’s just a different way of connecting with people, maybe just different to the way you enjoyed in a particular period of your life.
I use to feel the same about music I loved in my teens and 20’s until I did some research and exposed myself to all music and music history.
I mean no offence at all, it’s just a...
