Written for Song Lyric Sunday where the theme is Heavenly Bodies, Planets, Moon, Sun, Stars suggested by King Ben’s Grandma.
This came to mind because I love the song and I remembered it from A Star is Born!
“Shallow”
(from “A Star Is Born” soundtrack)
[Bradley Cooper:]
Tell me somethin’, girl
Are you happy in this modern world?
Or do you need more?
Is there somethin’ else you’re searchin’ for?
I’m falling
In all the good times I find myself longin’ for change
And, in the bad times, I fear myself
[Lady Gaga:]
Tell me something, boy
Aren’t you tired tryna fill that void?
Or do you need more?
Ain’t it hard keeping it so hardcore?
I’m falling
In all the good times I find myself longin’ for change
And, in the bad times, I fear myself
I’m off the deep end, watch as I dive in
I’ll never meet the ground
Crash through the surface where they can’t hurt us
We’re far from the shallow now
[Lady Gaga & Bradley Cooper:]
In the sha-ha-sha-ha-low
In the sha-ha-sha-la-la-la-low
In the sha-ha-sha-ha-ha-low
We’re far from the shallow now
[Lady Gaga:]
Oh, ha, ah, ha
Oh-ah, ha
Oh, ha, ah, ha
I’m off the deep end, watch as I dive in
I’ll never meet the ground
Crash through the surface where they can’t hurt us
We’re far from the shallow now
[Lady Gaga & Bradley Cooper:]
In the sha-ha-sha-ha-low
In the sha-ha-sha-la-la-la-low
In the sha-ha-sha-ha-ha-low
We’re far from the shallow now
I also want to do justice to the earlier version with another beautiful song
“Evergreen”
Love, soft as an easy chair
Love, fresh as the morning air
One love that is shared by two
I have found with you
Like a rose under the April snow
I was always certain love would grow
Love ageless and evergreen
Seldom seen by two
You and I will make each night a first
Every day a beginning
Spirits rise and their dance is unrehearsed
They warm and excite us
‘Cause we have the brightest love
Two lights that shine as one
Morning glory and midnight sun
Time we’ve learned to sail above
Time won’t change the meaning of one love
Ageless and ever evergreen
Great songs!

Which version do you like (of the movie)? I can’t decide because each had amazing songs and amazing talent!

I haven’t seen the Barbara Streisand one in forever and honestly I like the Lady GaGa one for the music. I guess I’d have to rewatch both to really know.

Barbara is my favorite and always has been since I was a little girl wanting to become a singer when I grew up. 🙂 I love her version of A Star is Born, but I also loved Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper and the song “Shallow.” I think I liked Bradley better than Kris, but Barbara will always be #1 even though Lady Gaga was awesome. I listen to the cd often. Thanks for sharing, Lauren 🧡

Thanks for stopping by. I love Barbara Streisand too! I can’t think of the movie that I used to watch with her singing but I do recall enjoying it.

First time I’ve heard Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper, and haven’t seen their version of A Star is Born. I liked Streisand and Kristofferson too much (I’ve seen the other two versions though).
