Tonight I was listening to some music by Gaga, and you know what... I finally had an "Aha" moment! Before reading any further into the post, stop the Playlist at the side bar and watch this clip...
This song is Dance in the Dark. The message was cleverly hidden behind the bass and synth that, originally, was the reason I listened to it. So, what exactly is this song about? Well actually, it's strange how I should know at this moment. The song is about a girl who prefers to have sex with the lights off, because she's ashamed of her body image. She is only able to release her inhibitions in the dark.
Gaga said herself that the song is meant to tell people that it is entirely normal to feel this way. She says that even she feels insecure about her image sometimes.
So... Gaga. I have to say, that I was touched by this song when I heard it driving home tonight. In a weird way I felt reassured about my own self-image, which I've been struggling with lately. So I've decided that I want to do a week's worth of posts devoted to Gaga. So be prepared... it's coming
I never saw the song way, but it's a neat to look at it. I always looked at it differently, but that might be because I listened to it at a certain time in my life. But I'm excited for your Gaga!blogging this week! :D
