It has been a very long week for sure. It’s Sunday morning, and I am just thankful for a good night’s sleep, and some peace this morning.
I spoke with Aldina first thing this morning. I always ask for Paul now. It comforts me that he is with the kids, and that they all seem like they are doing exceptionally well. I like talking to him. I know him, he is so familiar to me, and comforting because of that. No surprises, just his good, eccentric, simple ways.
He told Aldina to tell me to watch Lady Gaga’s video – You and I – “the UK version.” I told her that I thought I already watched it. T had posted it on her FaceBook page last week. She loves the video. I have to admit – both T and Paul have excellent taste in music – and Tabrizia loves her theatrics. Aldina said that he loved the part where she screamed out that she writes her own music. I knew that wasn’t in the official video, so I figured there must have been something else that he had seen. I youtubed it, and watched her performance in London. He was right, her performance in London about a year ago is amazing. I called back to let him know that he should also watch the official video that was just released.
While I was looking for the official video to watch again, I discovered some infomration. The song was inspired by a New York bartendar that Stefanie Germonatta was in an on again/off again relationship with. The video she says is about a journey to winning an estranged love back.
Sometimes in love, you can’t make it work,” she continued about that particular scene. “No matter what you do, there’s this giant boundary between you and someone else. So that’s what it’s about, perceiving in your imagination that there’s something magical inside of you that you can make it work.”
It’s a real-life former love that has left an indelible mark on Gaga’s creative spirit, and she says that this video perfectly captures that. “For me, it was all about capturing the true spirit of the song, which is when you’re in love, you’ll be willing to walk and do the craziest and most inconvenient things you can possibly imagine,” she added. “The video is quite complex in the way that the story is told, and it’s meant to be slightly linear and slightly twisted and confusing, which is the way that love is.

In one scene, she is playing the piano, while another version of her self is dressed in drag and sitting on top of the piano. The version of her dressed in drag reminds me of this women I met on the night of my past birthday. She said her name was “Randy” – I don’t know if that is true, but she was sexy as hell, and made a huge impression on me. This post is dedicated to her.
Something, Something about the chase!
