I wish that I could dance on a single prayer
I wish I could be strong without somebody there
(I wish I could be strong without permission yeah)
I wish that I could dance on a single prayer
I wish I could be strong without the Scheiße yeah.
Basically it's about your insecurities and fears. And the Scheiße being whatever it is you use to deal with them. For example, people drink alcohol to get on the dancefloor (single prayer not being enough). The second line also talks about the fear of being alone, and later about the power (some) women hand over to men in relationships.
Well, that's my interpretation yeah.

hit on the nail there!

Like Britney with How I Roll, absolutely simplistic but powerful!

I speak German pretty well, but not fluent - I can sing a long to a good part of it now. Tis uber fun!
Really appreciating Marry The Night at the mo'.
Just watched the Loose Women interview with my eternal Queen Carol McGiffin. Amazing. Earthquakes in my loins.
I'm back bitches! Like Norma Jean and Britney Jean I was carted off but my Joe Dimaggio came and saved me and I'm here once more! Oh daddy when one is like I, then one can't stay away too long before my fellow posters long for I! This isn't an apology so if you're looking for one, move on now, or at least put your eye condoms on. Yes that's right I know my sh!t, I've brought my library card, have you?
Apparently if you like GaGa you must act all dispassionate, but I'm sorry dear I'm not imperturbable by my nature, I'm a manic when it comes to things that matter greatly to me. I'm not going to be able to not lose my sh!t when GaGa does something new, that is not in my character. I can either be the that quiet little obedient bitch so many of you want me to be, or I can accept that I was born this way and to hell with the rest of you. This is hardly my Sophie's choice, chosing between inspirational GaGa and that ugly bald baby like creature with its grey skin, creased face and demonic eyes. Smash that creature against the post I say.
But I must too learn an invaluable lesson here, as I re-enter this rotten church I must accept that the pharasees that once condemed Stefani as she slaved in the lower east side have reemerged here, blind to message that is so much a part of their idol it runs viscous in her viens. However I cannot sing to thier sinister tune, why can't GaGa be the greatest, she may not be the first but she damn well will be the ****ing best. Look at all the art movements throughout history, impressionism, the renaissance, cubism, surrealism, etc. Name the greats from each movement and you're not naming the first to apply their rules, but the ones that took the principles and defined central essence of the movement. Michael Jackson, Bowie, Madonna may have laid the foundations of the movement, but they were subject the ficklties of the pop world, GaGa will define the movement. They will be remembered, but in GaGa's shadow.
So today we were gifted with another masterpiece. Well some of us got ours on Saturday. Of course many of you couldn't help yourself and downloaded the leak. The great thing about art is that it is so open to interpretations. But how can you view Da Vinci's Benois Madonna through frosted glass? Or Tracy Emin's Everyone I Have Ever Slept With 1963–1995 after a raging inferno has ripped out it's soul? Or how can you attest to the true horror of Paul Delaroche's The Execution of Lady Jane Grey when the last third has been barbarically decapitated from it?
It is only fair to view the works as the artist intended them to be viewed and then you can interperet fairly. So I waited, when it could have been so much easier to cave to such carnal desires. On the morn of Saturday when my copy arrived I cocooned myself and meditated to the album. As GaGa before cocooned herself I followed in her wisened footsteps. For almost 3 days I remained in a constant state of meditaion, listening, feeding, breathing, only Born This Way. What a nourishing treat for the soul!
The experiance changed me, I broke out of my cocoon and different creature, a flying unicorn! There is not one weak track, I would rate every track and 9 or 10 out of 10. I don't believe a more solid album has graced this earth. Many have described Born This Way as a modern day Thriller, but it would be hard and foolish not to see Born This Way as GaGa's Les demoiselles d'Avignon! Many will endavour to bring down the album and GaGa but then there are people who don't get Warhol, Dali, Picasso.
So there you have it, my vomit! And don't you ****ing dare try and mop it up, its my vomit and I'm going to honour it!

Apparently predictions for BTW are now ranging from 750 to a million. Obviously pinch of salt needed, but still.
There's also rumour that Wal-Mart accidentally sold 10,000 copies of BTW early...which may make it's chart debut a flop. Interscope will be scalping if there's any truth to that.

Agree with this. Obviously there would of been many fans of The Fame/Monster who just liked it because much of it was pure pop music. Nothing wrong with that, but because Born This Way is a more challenging listen, it's bound to alienate some fans of the first 2 albums. But if anything, that's credit to Gaga for (cliché alert) taking risks and not just playing it safe - it's such an uncompromising album and generally a real progression as an artist. It was never going to please everyone no matter what it was like, but most fans seem to appreciate it anyway.
Great to have you back IUSA!
I can't see Scheisse being released as a single, it's too rude. Much of the German is nonsense but I still love it.

laughed so much at all of this. how embarrassing.
anyway, do the $0.99 amazon sales count as actual sales? for example are they equal to a full $11 sale?! if so i wouldn't be surprised if first week reached 1 million sales or even surpassed it. my first impressions of favourite tracks were Americano, You and I and Scheisse, but now (still obviously adore those) i'm listening more to Fashion Of His Love and Bloody Mary, weakest track on the album for me is probably Black Jesus/Amen Fashion.
I've posted earlier why Amazon is selling BTW for .99c
Now this article explains the reason in detail. Nothing to do with Gaga or Interscope, but it's a war between Amazon and Apple.
Apologies if this is posted elsewhere.

The 10,000 early would be a debut flop because it might make BTW chart early (i.e. this week) rather than next (i.e. with the 8573849483k sales).
Not sure if i'm convinced - let's be honest, Interscope could probably make this problem disappear - but it would be equal parts funny to annoying.
RE: the 99c must be a legitimate copy or they wouldn't have done it. Interscope wouldn't waste their money/time/units boosting Amazon for nothing in return.

Its so hard to pick a favourite, everytime I listen to the album something new jumps out at me! I suppose right now, Government Hooker, Marry The Night, Scheisse are the instantly catchy songs. But everysong is pure magic. This is honestly one of the greatest albums ever made.

Mock me all you like, but I made a valid point. Some thought it was embarrassing for GaGa to play pop music in underground hipster bars on the lower east side!
