There is a snippet out there though!

I HAVE THE LYRIC!!! PLEASE STAND BY

 

HERE IS THE LYRIC!!!

 

LG: OOOAH OOOOH DON'T BE SCARED

OOOH OOAAQH I'VE ... done this ... Before (with Lamar)

 

BM: Ooohhhoooohoooh it's meeeeeee-hheeeee-eeeeeehhhh-ooooh-errrrrr, Bruno Marsssss

LG: A Red Oneeee. And I'm GaGa. Talking like in Teeth: Garden Panty. VVENUS!

 

BM singing: Celestial bodieeees moving togetherrrrr unapposed ooh hook

LG talking like in Teeth: star signs

 

lG and BM, riffing together: ooh yeah look at me

Ooh yeah check it out

Uh huh

It's just me and me

Ooh yeah keep your eyes on me

Ooh yeah keep kovin

Yeah check it out

Uhh huih yeah

 

LG, music stops like a record scratching off at a DJ booth. Wait, isn't this supposed to be a ballad?

BM: Well we best get serious girl, and stop this jawing!

 

Raucous studio laughter

 

BM: Ladies and Gentlemens, let the ballads...

lG and BM: BEGIN!!!

BM: OOOOOOOHOHOOHOHOH YEAAAAAH OOOHHHOOOEERRRRAAAEERRROOOHHHYERRRRRR (unfortunately they have had to credit the musician behind Hillary Duff's singing film, for interpolating HD's riff off)

 

Music starts out jolly, like Puppet on a String, like 50s brassy, jaunty showtune ... But it doesn't stay that way for long!!! (Ominous)

 

BM: It was a sunny day

LG in whisper voice: suuuny day ooooh

It was a special dayyy

LG: special daaaay pooh

BM: The grass was growin long under my feet, so I went outside and now I'm with a lawnmower rear. Rock voice scream: Picture thiiiis!!

LG: lawnmowerrrrr

BM: I'm mowing the grass, when the rusty old mower, you told me to change

LM: I told you to changeeeee

BM: Caught in my foot, and in a shower of blood, a cog came loose and flew through the air and hit me on the bounce

LG: Bonceeeee

BM: And right then I felt like a footballer, taking a header and scoring a goal across the 10 yard line or what he youuu

G: Oooohhhhh

BM: But it was just the temporary euphoria of dying, but ... I DIED WITH A SMILE!!

LG whisper singing: switch a smiling ooooh hoooo

 

Music moves into dramatic ballad Crescendos

 

BM: AND AS I LAY DYING, YOU KNOW WHY I SMILED?1

LG: WHY DID YOU SMIIIIIIHHIIIIILLLLE?!

BM: AAAHH DEEUUUIIIED WITH A SMHHUUURRRLLLEEEE BECAAHHAAAUUSEE EEEHH HEEEE AAOOEERRR FOUND YOOOOU

LADY GAGA: AND I GOUND YEEEREE-HEEEOOOU-HEEEOUYYEEERRRRRR

 

BM, sad music: Pooh for ma breakfast I had your leftover brisket

And as I lay on the grass that plain old everyday meal's aftertaste was like a thousand kisses on my lips

I died with a smile, remembering you, your lips on mine, and your boring brisket

Ha: BHEEERRRIIING BRISKEEHHEEEYYYETTTT!!!!

 

LG OOOH and no one knew, no one knew, why you had a smile so true, so true,

On your lips right till the day you die,

They all knew

I was the luckiest girl in the world,

To have a man with a smile so curledddd

BM: ooooh

But what they don't know is anyone can smile, even force a smile if you feel down,

You just gotta flex and try,

Even on the first day, even on the last day,

Oohhh OOOH ooh,

But at first you don't succeedbrush yourself and smile again,

Brush yourself off and smile again, smile agaaain

But it was a sacrament of love, a holy code,

A Vatican holy secret between you and me,

A secreto smile only we could decooode

BM: starts chanting random numerical codes. Starts loud, but then fades quietly in the background, to the tune of the backing beat. Backing beat is replaced by that chant, but you only notice if you listen carefully.

Man from Sabrina intro: seee-seecret. Seeecreeeet!

 

 

Bouncy, jazzy music starts up again:

 

Well now it's me, GaGaaaa,

Andpicture this with a Kodak:

I decided to fly into outer space, after doing my PhD in astrophysics,

Like Bryan Maaay - it ain't so uncommon in music, you see, ooh,

And help humanityyy

On the top flight secret space mission on the space station

To station me where I could always see you,

Looking down with a smile on my face

At the smile of the earth ooh yeaah 🌎

But then an interstellar happened

And I was George Clooney, not Sandra Bullocckkk,

And when they found melee, I had ... A smile on my face

 

 

Ballad dramatic music starts:

 

The day I died I died with a smile

Upon my face - god gave me style and gave me gryiaaace here too hop hop,

For All I could think, as I floated around space in the orbit of the earth, was

I was blessed to have found youuuuu

And when they found me,

Everyone was abuzz like bees,

For even in a dire space emergency, I died with a smile

And that's my secret code for loving yooouuyyy

 

Both together now key change, riffing off each other:

 

AHERRRR

OHHHHOOOOOO

YERRRR YWRRR

JURRSSS EAAARRRRRRRT OOOH HOOOO

YOU GOTTA FIND YOUR ONE.FA HIIND YOUR ONE

LOHERRRUVE YOUR ONE

LOOUERRRVE YOUR ONE

AND THEN YOU WON

THEERRN YOU WON OOOH

SECRET SMIELS IN LOVIN CODES

COS WE ARE THE LOVIN KIND

YOU GOTTA DIE WITH A SMILE

NO MATTER WHAT HAPPENS

AMILE WHEN YOUR HEART IS BREAKING

AND OU KNOOW THE WORLD AMILES WIIITH YOOOOOUUUUUUUU!!!!!

 

Disney ending style chords

Wait it sounds anthemic and like a proper collab both complimenting each other yesss

Oh, that sounds rather good!

 

Welcome back to my personal chart, folks! B-)

It sounds like Hold My Hand

 

Yep it's a hit!

Written by:

Stefani Germanotta, Bruno Mars, Andrew Watt, Dernst "D'Mile" Emile II, James Fauntleroy

Produced by: Lady Gaga, Bruno Mars, Andrew Watt, D'Mile

 

 

Seems that it's placed on Today's Top Hits in the US right away which is great!

Edited August 16, 2024Aug 16 by Sour Candy

I actually sorta kinda like it! It feels much more Bruno heavy than I had anticipated though.

Listening now!

I adore it. They both sound heavenly!

 

I am also SOOOOO happy this isn't a 2 minute one and it actually builds into that explosive final minute, feeling like a full moment and fully realised song :wub:

Yeah, it's really nice. Cute.

 

They do complement each other well.

Video of them performing this live from Bruno's show last night:

And the full video:

We've already had a live performance - they're not messing around!

I really like it!!

 

Their voices do sound great together as well.

 

About to now watch the live performance they did! Really like the music video and the energy they have as well. The styling does kind of match the song now. And it’s not necessarily as ballad esque as I was perhaps led to believe, it actually wouldn’t have sounded too out of place on a Star is Born (which isn’t a bad thing for the general public).

Written and produced by the pair too ofc :clap:

“I was finishing up my own album in Malibu and one night after a long day he asked me to come to his studio to hear something he was working on. It was around midnight when I got there and I was blown away when I heard what he had started making. We stayed up all night and finished writing and recording the song. Bruno’s talent is beyond explanation. His musicianship and vision is next level. There’s no one like him.” - Lady Gaga.

 

“Getting to work with Gaga has been an honor. She’s an icon and she makes this song magical. I’m so excited for everyone to hear it.” - Bruno Mars #DieWithASmile

 

:wub:

^ love that :wub:

 

Also it's the song that has reached #1 on US iTunes the fastest this year so far!

This is terrible !!!

#1 on UK iTunes! :cheer:

Just purchased this on iTunes myself! That’s now two copies from me :wub:

Yay!

 

Wonder if Radio 1 will playlist this?
