Spreading The Vibes - Lady Gaga, Shallow and an Unusual Birthday Party
I was surprised and actually shocked this morning when I saw this post, to put it mildly. Edje mentioning Lady Gaga? In a Spread the Vibes post...? And in a positive way?
The Nutty Columnist went on a very long vacation, together with the images. But after reading the post I understood and clearly saw those goosebumps that could be of the height of Mount Everest, or at least Mont Blanc, as he said. Ok, maybe felt instead of saw. As I had the same goosebumps when I saw the movie "A Star Is Born" for the first time.
We watched it in the theatre shortly after it was released in 2018. When you watch a movie in a cinema it usually leaves a deeper impression on you, partly as there are no distractions around as it happens at home. Also, if there is music that plays an important role in the movie, you perceive it much better than in home conditions. Maybe it happens just to me? Anyway, the song "Shallow" especially around the minute 1:45 (from the following video) gave me that great feeling. Oh, it does it again now when I am listening to it. Goosebumps.
Lady Gaga was not an artist I would listen to at home, because I would choose to do it. Of course, I heard about her and could recognize some of her songs, but that was all. The same as Edje - I thought she does just commercial music and not much more, but... what she showed us in the movie changed my feelings toward her as a singer and probably a human being who had to fight for her fame. Though it is never an easy road to mark success in the music industry. Maybe the first positive comments I listened about her were said by my husband, but it stayed in that state until the movie. In combination with Bradley Cooper, they conquested us!
Unfortunately, I can't say that I even tried to search for her new music (I don't know if she had newly released songs?) but I stayed with the positive thought because of the movie, and probably because of the song Shallow. I also play it on the piano with pleasure :) And even nicer it is when played with a singer.
Thanks to this post that I encountered this morning I could remember a birthday party where the song Shallow was performed by two musicians, although not as famous musicians as Lady Gaga is. It happened under the ground a few months ago. Actually, in the "basement" part of a rock club, rented out by the person who celebrated her birthday.
As a singer, she invited a lot of other musician friends. It was a kind of improvised celebration because the guests, the musicians were bringing the music part to the party. A trumpet player, bass guitarist, drummer, another guitarist, two pianists and some singers. The man with the hat is a Cuban pianist who told me his life story and how he got to Spain... The trumpet player mainly performs jazz music and there, on the stage, these musicians have improvised together with ease.
The singer lady - who was celebrating her birthday performed with all the other musicians, and with a lady pianist in black too. They just agreed about the songs several minutes before they took the stage, and made music without any rehearsal. That was cool as any improvisation and unexpected thing could happen.
I also have some recordings of some piano music and I put those fragments together into one video. You will see, it starts with the song Shallow, continues with short parts of some solo piano pieces and finishes with the first song I mentioned. The recordings are maybe not perfect but it was half-dark and recorded with a phone.
Thanks to edje I got the inspiration to spread these Lady Gaga vibes and bring this birthday party to Hive and Q-inspired-by-music corner. And what about you? Did you watch the movie A Star Is Born? Do you like Lady Gaga? Have you visited a birthday party lately that was different from the other ones and was celebrated in a peculiar way? Feel free to share with us your stories and vibes (the guides to a Spread the Vibes challenge can be found here.

I, too, have not listened by choice to Lady Gaga. But yes, it is a beautiful song. What I have done a lot is this type of birthday, before the Covid era we used to improvise this type of party. Many of them at home, I feel a lot of homesickness. My regards 🙏
Cool for the casual types of birthday parties :))
Maybe now they can be celebrated again :D I am sure that with @rumbapoet and other musician friends, these parties are great 🎶
The political-economic crisis has made most of my musician friends emigrate from the island in search of new opportunities. Havana is not the same anymore😔
😔
I could tell you that I didn't recognise Lady Gaga, I couldn't believe it was her, a different style and I really liked this new style.
He sings beautifully, plus he's handsome haha, but her.... surprised me. That minute you say, I went back to it and ufff it gave me chills... great!
What a beautiful birthday and celebrate it that way, I love it, I haven't seen birthdays like that.
Thank you @mipiano ❤️
It was her, indeed a different style - so natural 😇
Hahaha, Bradley Cooper, I guess many singers would accept the invitation to work together in the same movie 😃
Very natural, I love it!
hahaha he's gorgeous! And he sings well too...🤣
That was a surprise for everyone I think, that he could sing that well 😃🎶
That's true, it's another, very pleasant surprise!😍
I agree that it's not the same to watch a movie at home than in a movie theater, not only because of the distractions but also because of the sound, since movie theaters have an adequate sound system to enhance the experience.
The truth is that I haven't been to any party lately that has been particular or special, I'm glad that you have and that you enjoyed it a lot.
Exactly.
That theatre where we usually go sometimes plays recordings from classical (and other genres too) concerts and ballets. 😃🎶 It is not the same as listening to a live concert in person but for sure better than missing out completely that experience 😉
But... Oh God, I'm speechless. Shallooow, eh? Jjjjj... Piano, and so are you going to pick up on the 17 ideas???? Because I heard a bit of the 10 somewhere 😉.
No. Mi error!!! Era ese tema de Amelie que tanto me gusta.
Sí, una de las temas es de Amelie :))
Y Shallow la tocamos con esa cantante del vídeo allí en directo, por la primera vez, sin ensayos jajaja. Fue divertido 😃
¿Y los otros? tell-me :P
There was one called Solas -how bad interpretation is this one hahaha 😂, but ok, and later the ending of Nuvole Bianche by Ludovico Einaudi. Later comes from Amelie that you already recognized 🎶😉
WOW how nice is this post and your 'Shallow' performance! 🙇
Agree, the cinema can be quite impressive! Fortunately, I watched this movie by myself without anybody else around at home, in an even better no-disrupting setting to a cinema. No popcorn flying around. No rustling sounds. No owww and ahhhh from anybody else but me.
Glad Master Goosebumps also visited you when you saw this movie, well when you heard her voice. Must be real then. I mean, Lady G and her amazing singing qualities. Did you recognise her when you saw her in the movie? I didn't at all, that's why I felt so much having lived under a rock 😆
Regarding her singing and trying to make it in the industry. In the movie, she was picked up by some hot shot production firm whose interest was to make her big. Suddenly we saw her being pushed to create music in the style she got her fame. Including all the entertainment shizzle, the dancers, the choreography and all. Perhaps that is her story. 'Yes' to such an opportunity, but not knowing what happens and then slowly moved into areas of commercial music.
Must admit, didn't listen to her newest music as well. Perhaps not much on that front? She isn't releasing that many songs.
Did you post about this peculiar, but super nice, birthday party? Or you mentioned it in other channels since I remember you attended this one. But the Lady G performance is new to me. Nice! 😉 The other track, her solo one, I find her voice even better. But 'Shallow' does good as well.
Thanks for your super quick StV response 😉
You knew about that party that happened a few months ago off-chain 😉 I thought I would not publish it at all, but your StV triggered it :D
I also liked the other song from the movie, where Lady Gaga sings it solo, true, it is maybe even better.🎶
Hahah, popcorn flying around in the cinema, so true that it can happen 🤣 but I think it was calm when we watched this movie. Taking out paper tissues from the pockets when there is a moving scene - that could happen :D
And thanks once again for your post 🤓 the super quick response to StV - maybe breaking the record in time 😂
Well, I was never a fanatic of Lady Gaga but with time, I began to listen to her because I just got exposed to her kind of songs
She's a very great artiste
We haven't seen the movie yet but we know that "Shallows" is its soundtrack, the song is very well known and there was a time when we listened to it very often here at home, in fact Lady Gaga and actor Bradley Cooper sang it together at an Oscar ceremony and they did it very well.
I can tell it was a fun night, thanks for sharing, it was good to see you playing a Lady Gaga song.
They did it so nicely, Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper, and what was really surprising was that he could decently sing too. As it is a duet I could imagine you two performing it (or maybe you already did it 😅)
Thanks for watching the video from that party 🤗
I myself am very fond of going to such parties especially where life performs and listen to songs. Listening to music is very good and time passes well.
A party without music would be a little bit weird
Yeah you are right.

@mipiano, you're on a roll! Cheers to your continued success! 😄🍻🌹
She Did a Jazz Album back in 2014 with Tony Bennet called Cheek to Cheek, when I came across that I was kinda sure that A Star Was Born and not just another Popstar.
Oh and it´s probably my laptop overheating....but the 3Speak vid did not deliver
Your laptop overheated maybe? 😉
It works at my side, just tried to play it and it's ok.
I am sitting inside again and it works and wow, I love that 2nd part!!
Ok, that piece will be played then on that island - 48h piano music thingy 😁
The whole piece, and we will ask @edje to do the singing first part, right?
@edje and singing? 😂
I would pay for seeing & hearing that 😁
