Go Gaga over Gaga's new music video "Marry the night"

Lady Gaga, an inspiration to many and inspiration to myself.


Her album "Born this way" sold 1.108 million copies in its first week – the largest first week album sales in five years. All of the songs on the album are creatively put together with careful thought and meaning. Unlike many artists now, Gaga consistly writes her own material and has much input in what goes into her music and how it is presented. One cannot question her passion and love for music and appreciation for her fans which she calls "Little monsters."

Personally, I cannot say I dislike any of the songs on the Born this way album. It's the type of album which you can just sit and listen to without constantly having to change song. I particularly enjoy the songs "Born this way " "Judas" "Hair" "Schiebe" "Bad kids" "You and I" "The edge of glory" and "Marry the night". All of these have really spoken to me for example, "Born this way" expresses that you must love yourself and others and not be afraid of who you are and of your identity. One of my insecurities is that I care too much of what others think of me. This song reassures me that infact, we are all the same and shouldn't get hung up on insecurites like mine for example. J'adore the song "Hair" which connotes the message of being free and being able to express yourself . This song means alot to me, and really shows the importance of owning your idenity and not being held back by restrictions.

Her latest single "Marry the night" from the album Born this way is proving to be another success. In addition her music video for the song is a long and dramatic 13 minutes - Gaga says “It’s chaotic and sad. But I don’t want it to be safe. It has to be humiliating.”

The first 8 and a half minutes of the video is a mixture of girl interrupted meets black swan. It's indepth pyschological ambiance is meant to portray the day that Gaga was dropped from her first record label, Island Def Jam. "It was one of the worst days of my life and it happened quite quickly, but in my mind, when I think back on that period of my life, it all happened very slow," Gaga explains.

Known for her unqiue music video's, Marry the night has certainly pushed surrealism and delusion to the extremes. “As an artist, I think delusion is the greatest gift that you can bear.How much can you get away with? How delusional can I really be? The opening of the video starts off very linear, and becomes more and more surreal and delusional…until the music begins…."

There are a multiple scenes where Gaga is naked, Gaga explains " "Well, I was naked in real life when it happened," referring to the moment she found out she'd been dropped. "That's probably the most honest moment in that video of everything I've ever done. My directorial decision was for them to just f---ing roll the cameras, because I couldn't go in and out of the moment. I wonder if I will actually release that scene in its entirety — it's about 30 minutes long."

A scene from the video where gaga has an emotional break down is described by the lady herself as an "'Honest Moment." After feeling destraught over being dropped by her first record label, Gaga never gave up until she became a successful popstar. Now she is one of the world's most well known female super stars. She says ""If you give up after something like that, you were never destined to be an entertainer."

One of my many favourite parts is at 0.45 - 1.22 in the music video. I dont exactly know why, I think it's her way of thinking and the way she speaks it's mezmerising. Underneath the somewhat dark beginning of the video, there is the underlying factor of humor added in.

Her honesty and her passion for what she believes in is just a huge inspiration. Her raw talent puts people who just get fame handed to them for example contestants from the talent show " X Factor" to shame. Her music, her style, her videos, her presence is just enchanting and admirable. I've had "Marry the night" on repeat for weeks now and can see that the video, the song and its lyrics really relate to the artists story. Why I think Lady Gaga has such an immense and ever growing fan base is because shes honest, honest about herself, honest about her music. She's brave and fearless with a hint of pyschotic mixed together.
