At this point, I miss the talking as much as the dancing.
(yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah) By the rivers of babylon (rough bits of babylon) There we sat down (you hear the people cry) Ye-eah we wept, (they need their God) When we remember zion. Gaga’s fantasy universe of moving your body like a sculpture (sure!) in defiance of the world’s babble is sort of accidentally a fantasy of that babble also existing. There we sat down (you got to sing a song) Ye-eah we wept, (sing a song of love) When we remember zion. IF YOU HAVE ANY REQUEST LET ME KNOWthank you so much for subscribing, watching and liking my vids that means a lotLyrics:I thought we had a place, just. Most people will have to resort to dancing in isolation, or over Zoom, and good gossip itself has become a precious commodity in quarantine, unless it’s about people doing incredibly risky shit in order to hang out or rehashing old beef into gossip Soylent. “That’s gos-sip!”ī.C., intentionally or not, also sets things before COVID, and what’s delirious, and oddly comforting to me at least, about “Babylon” and so much of Chromatica is how much it is absolutely not the album for right now.
Rumors, scandals, truth, lies, whatever - just more things to dance to. Babylon (Gaga tell us your thoughts on Hammurabi’s code) and freely referencing the Tower of Babel (an actual Babylonian temple potentially inspired the story in the Bible several centuries later), seemingly all so she can throw together the so-obvious-it’s-brilliant homophone of “talk it out, babble on / Battle for your life, Babylon.” Babble/battle/Babel/Babyl, it’s all a blur when you’re this far into your trip to the planet Chromatica. But enough of that, just think of the “Babylon” drag show possibilities!Īs she is wont, Gaga also goes about constructing an opulent metaphorical context, setting things back in 16th-century B.C.
We’re taking a trip back to 1980s New York, with Gaga and producers BURNS and BloodPop sampling the bassline of New Order’s “Confusion,” and getting so close to the sound of “Vogue”-era Madonna we’re sure to see that whole stan war erupt again. We’re back in Artpop and Fame Monster land, with Gaga writhing in the trappings of celebrity, poking a little fun at her leaky reputation (“Money don’t talk, rip that song”). Since this album is fully devoted to trigonometry, it takes a little math to figure out what exactly Gaga is going for in the moment - it’s sort of about a threesome between you, Gaga, and gossip about you and Gaga. “That’s gos-sip.” May it be sampled everywhere: When a story is delicious and good! That’s gossip! When I’m issuing a denial? That’s gossip! When you just want the beat to drop? That’s gos-sip! “That’s the thing that you bring / That you bring, that you bring / Him, you and me,” she announces just before the chorus.
