Skirt Posted April 21, 2022 Posted April 21, 2022 British boxer Fes Batista recalls in an interview with Express Sport how he almost ended his life over racial abuse and bullying before Lady Gaga’s “Marry The Night” saved his life. Quote Batista was subjected to abhorrent racial abuse at university that took such a toll he contemplated suicide. Had the right song not played at the right time, he wouldn't be here today talking about his ambitions for the future. Quote Batista had been pushed to the brink and couldn't cope anymore. “I walked home and said to myself this is it. I sat on the edge of my bed with a knife in my hand and there was a wardrobe with a mirror on it in front of me. I looked at myself and said let's have a quick highlights reel in my head and remember all the good times because there are no more highlights after today.” Quote “I had some music on in the background but I couldn't hear it when I was doing this highlights reel. I remember I had the knife and put it on my neck and I didn't really know how to do it but I thought there's a vein up there somewhere and then I heard this Lady Gaga song come on. Marry the night. And the lyrics were: 'I'm going to marry the night, I'm not going to cry anymore. I'm going to marry the night.” Quote “And it froze me, and I played the song again and I was crying and I normally don't relate to music so quickly, but for the first time ever I heard lyrics to the song, 'Marry the night' and I understood what that meant. Marry the night, marry what's dark about your life, your traumas, your problems.” https://www.express.co.uk/sport/boxing/1598606/British-boxer-Fes-Batista-Roy-Jones-Jr-Lady-Gaga-Floyd-Mayweather-boxing-news SaintGa did that.
Pop Posted April 21, 2022 Posted April 21, 2022 Born This Way saved so many lives. I have so many friends, including myself, who have been empowered by this album to get out of a dark place and become a better version of themself. Thank you Lady Gaga
RockStarShit101 Posted April 21, 2022 Posted April 21, 2022 There's no doubt that Marry The Night is one of Gaga's best songs.
bliaz Posted April 21, 2022 Posted April 21, 2022 Not me making the thread first then hiding it because someone told me it was old news, so that some would make two threads
Mr. Stratus Posted April 21, 2022 Posted April 21, 2022 One of her most over rated dated songs but it just goes to show BTW impact was outside of charts
