It’s kind of crazy, since I wasn’t as wild about the movie itself, but AStarIsBorn Iteration #4 (people are fairly crazy concerning movie remakes, which is strange since we wouldn’t have what’re widely considered the best versions of TheMalteseFalcon and TheTenCommandments without them) produced one of my all-time favorite songs in “Shallow.” I’m of the opinion Lady Gaga is best when she gets out of her own way (admittedly there’re a lot of pop stars whose careers were defined by chips on their shoulders), which thankfully she’s able to do now and then. Hilariously when I watched the movie the first time I thought she overdid it, but “Shallow” works so well because it’s a complete composition. Gaga and Bradley Cooper connected brilliantly; it got to the point where people honestly thought they were in love. So I don’t mind putting a spotlight on it here, with a string version.
