As I’ve mentioned before, there’s a part of me that’s all sophisticated and all about discussing impressionism and classic literature and then there’s the other part of me, the part that just loves a good demolition derby! Guess which side this video appeals to.

I’ve heard at least one critic predict that Top Gun: Maverick will be a major Oscar contender. I don’t quite buy that but I do imagine that the soundtrack will get a major awards push. As performed by Lady Gaga, Hold My Hand feels very Oscar bait-y. We’ll see.
As for the song itself, it’s okay. It’s definitely not my favorite Lady Gaga song, largely because it was so obviously conceived as a way for the film to win an award. To me, it has a bit of a gospel feel and, as I think I’ve said in the past, I find gospel music to be the most boring type of music in existence. That said, Lady Gaga’s voice is amazing and she certainly sells this song.

I wish I could just let go
Of all the memories I know
Of all the memories I know
But they’re still stuck in my brain
Every time I fall asleep, I know
I’ll wake up alone
I’ll wake up alone
Dreams of you
Wrap around my throat
I think I’m gonna choke
I think I’m gonna choke
Running, running, running, running though the dark
Watch me run a little more
‘Cause when I said forever, I meant forever, now
I wish I could just let go
Of all the memories I know
Of all the memories I know
But they’re still stuck in my brain
I never wanted to cry
I always thought I would make it right
But now I’m stuck inside this shame instead
“Pontificating hypocrite” is what you said
When my heart breaks just a little bit I wanna drop dead
I didn’t wanna concede
Or call my fantasies make-believe
Holding tightly to the task at hand
When I really should be focusing to learn and understand
But I bury all the tragedy with sand
Running, running, running, running to my car
I can’t fucking cry in front of her
When I said forever, I meant forever, now
I wish I could just let go
Of all the memories I know
Of all the memories I know
But they’re still stuck in my brain
Lifestyles of the sick and dangerous! No, that’s not a judgment on my part. That’s actually the name of the album on which this song appears.
Enjoy!
That’s true, you know.

Last week, I watched Mad Max. On Tuesday, I watched The Road Warrior and Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome. As such, it only seems appropriate that today’s music video of the day should be the theme song from Beyond Thunderdome, We Don’t Need Another Hero.
Performed by Tina Turner (who, of course, also co-starred in Beyond Thunderdome), We Don’t Need Another Hero seems like it was pretty obviously written in an attempt to land, at the very least, an Oscar nomination for Best Original Song. Well, the Academy didn’t nominate the song but it did win a Golden Globe and it went on to become one of Turner’s biggest hits.
The video is a mix of Turner singing and scenes from Beyond Thunderdome. It’s not a bad song, even if it is hard to imagine any of the other Mad Max films featuring a power ballad. Then again, each Mad Max film is it’s own unique work of art. That’s one thing that makes the entire series so effective.

Hey, who doesn’t love vampires?
