Well I read "Paradise" is inspired by a poem written by her dead aunt Joanne about knowing you'll die but cherishing live....so this should be some beautiful lyrics for sure
(but imagine her "covering" some of her artpop songs jazzstyle )
"Last year when I played this same beautiful place.. I remember after the show I was so badly injured. And I had been injured for like a few shows and I didn’t want anybody to know because I didn’t want to disappoint fans and I didn’t want to cancel.. And I remember I was dancing - I was doing Scheiße - with that big castle behind me and I was in some kind of ****ing pain I’m telling you.. But you just kept cheering all of you kept cheering for me.. And I never told any of you what was wrong, I never said anything, and when I was saying goodbye to some fans I picked out of the pit backstage, these two girls looked at me and I’ll never forget it; they passed me a McQueen cane with a skull on it. And they looked right at me and I just knew that they knew that I needed the cane to walk but I don’t know how they knew or why they brought it, but it was one of these most special moments in my life I’ll never forget. When you could feel what I was thinking and I didn’t even tell you. It’s like we’re one. I made a decision on that day and I thought I had made it long ago but.. that I would never ever let you down again. That I would always put my fans first. That the music and the magic of these moments, these concerts, I hope that you remember them forever. You pretty girls, pinning flowers on each other’s hair. And you boys painting your face like the sad clown that I was when I had no longer heard your applause. How you whisper into each other’s ears and look in the mirror and you say ‘it’s okay, I was born this way’. I will never forget these moments. You’re my little gypsy kingdom. I love you."
Do y'all think we'll even get a lead single from Cheek To Cheek? I don't know, I have a feeling we'll just get everything in full during it's debut week - the album, the pre-taped promotional performances / interviews, a music video or two on VEVO to spread the album's release and then let the acclaim and word of mouth carry it.
I also just noticed she has the start of September off until the 10th from artRave ...

At least she seems to be in a better place but then again the last time we all said that crazy **** went down so let's hope she actually is in a sane place now

I'm literally on tears right now specially with that Intro message and the girl she bring on stage
