‘Hair’ Today

May 16, 2011 0 Comments

The iTunes Countdown to next Monday’s arrival of Lady Gaga’s Born This Way continues with today’s release of a fourth song from the album, “Hair.”

Like last week’s “The Edge Of Glory” (quickly designated as Gaga’s official next single after the song was greeted so positively), “Hair” also features E-Streeter Clarence Clemons on sax. It’s a barnburner, with definite shades of Springsteen (aside from Clemons’ participation), inspired by the freedom a teenage Gaga dreamed of one day having, to dress and do her hair however she liked.

“When I was young my mom and dad used to ask me to not leave the house dressed a certain way and asked me to change my hair. My mom would even cut my hair when I was asleep because I had really long split hairs, because I liked it really long like a hippy … Your hair is your glory and my hair represents my identity as it does represent the identity for many people.”

“Hair” isn’t the last peek into the world of Born This Way before its release next week. Well, as long as you’re a fan of Farmville, anyway.
