Right. And Joanne's death caused Joe Germanotta to go off the rails. He became a wild man who Gaga saw as an example as an Italian-American girl who loves her father, a man who would call her drunkenly as his health deteriorated because he was too scared to have open heart surgery. Naturally this caused her daddy issues and chasing of wild men seen on John Wayne. There's not one lyric on this album that doesn't belong there. It's all so intrinsically linked to the main concept of the album and the way Joanne's death caused shockwaves throughout not only the close family, but future generations.
There's so much still to be explored in future listens in terms of metaphors and lyrical content on here too. It's got so much replay value.

Damn this is hitting me deep right now
She said he would call her drunkenly? I never connected it to Joe's behavior and not wanting to have surgery (thank God he did). Wait....I never really analyzed the lyrics of Speechless, are those lines about "slurred at me" "glossy eyes" "no love left to rye" about him being drunk during that whole ordeal?
This is another reason why I think she seems so happy. The past 2 years have been so healing for her in so many different ways.
this is honestly her best album.
how is this whole song related about the Joanne theme? 
at atrlers asking why Joanne is so important to the Germanotta's. Didn't they get the memo that she died at 19 because she was sexually abused, was traumatised and it flared her lupus? Gaga too was abused and tested positive for lupus. One of her friends also suffered complications with the disease. All of this has given her sleepless nights thinking she's going to die as a result of stress from the music industry. Stefani has recurring dreams that she's going to be shot like her idol, John Lennon because of how fanatic her base is. It was only upon writing and recording Joanne with Mark Ronson that she was able to talk about these dark issues - a musical therapist (likewise with Amy when they wrote Back to Black.)
