This early-'80s inspired Video sees Gaga climbing ladders and walking the smoky Streets of New York City all alone - simplistic and drawing focus only to her and her Choreography. No Dancers, Special Effects, CGI or outrageous Costume Changes. Just Gaga.
Although some will find it underwhelming, I think this Video was necessary, one for budgeting constraints seeing the lackluster performance of prior Single Judas and its mega-spectacle of a Video. In fact, credited as Director solely are the Haus of Gaga - the People whom she trusts most. Secondly, Gaga has been under scrutiny for using Gimmicks to draw attention to herself and here she delivers a Product free of that. I love it! And I love that we see Clemons doing what he loves most, reminding us of his greatness despite the hardships he is facing right now.
I'll admit I was expecting Mermaid Costumes, Underwater Sequences and all that. But this will more than suffice.

This is my fave song from the album and I LOVE this video. I like that it is not over the top with dancers and gimmicks like most stars are doing. It lets you focus more on the music which is wonderful.
