Identifying theme of Song.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VFwmKL5OL-Q
The song I am going to be using for my music video is Lady Gaga’s Bloody
Mary. There are two main themes from the music video that are easily
recognizable. The first theme is religion and the second theme is love and
romance. They are easily seen throughout the lyrics. The romance side of it
connects to the narrative, and is about Gaga talking about how she will
forgive even if someone has done wrong. The song is almost a plea to the
man she is talking to. The song gives us the impression that she’s making
herself worthless but this is hidden by the lyrics of the song which makes it
sound beautiful. The song gives off a mood of horror and it has quite haunting elements to it, for example the chants of monks etc.
The Album
The song comes from the album ‘Born This Way’. The has the narrative of being who you are, an
not being afraid of this, hence the title of the album. However Lady Gaga adds lots of references
to religion and love (which is most of the songs she is seemingly begging for.)
Lady Gagas album overall is full of pop music however to create different moods, Lady gaga has
added other elements such as hip hop beats, guitars and opera, from this it helps the songs on the
album to become individual and less expressionless, Lady Gaga described the album as: “A
marriage of electronic music with major, epic, dare I even say, metal or rock 'n' roll, pop,
anthemic style melodies with really sledge-hammering dance beats.” – Source

Artist
Lady Gagas performances are always surreal and gives a sense of fantasy. Her performance
normally consist of her obnoxious outfits and dance moves. This is how she appeals people and her
performances show her creativity.
The way she performs connects to how her music videos are viewed and set out. Her videos are
normally sung about reality but in mostly all previous videos that go along with this album she
adds a fantasy to it that comes through her fashion and her emotion that comes through.
Lady Gaga is known for her fashion sense as it’s extremely bizarre. Some of her outfits possibly
have hidden meanings, However most of them are her way of telling her audience how creative
she feels she is and to put across different moods.
