Okayplayer Presents: The Chuck D Birthday Mix by DJ Raydar Ellis

CHICAGO HOUSE 1..."I AM"

Groove Mix 55

Gritty 90s-inspired alt rock with a hip-hop groove, sharp guitars, and a raw vocal edge. Dark, moody, and driving.

Stuck on Repeat

Courage and transformation
Lady Gaga's song "Shallow (feat. Bradley Cooper)" follows the journey of Ally, the central character in the film "A Star Is Born." The song begins with a more intimate folk-country tone and evolves into an intense pop ballad, reflecting Ally's transformation from insecurity to protagonism. The line "I'm off the deep end, watch as I dive in / I'll never meet the ground" symbolizes the moment she decides to take a risk, leaving her comfort zone behind in search of authenticity and emotional depth. This imagery of diving represents both the risk of exposing oneself and the courage to seek something more authentic, aligning with the film's theme of self-discovery.
The lyrics feature questions and confessions between the characters, such as "Tell me something, girl / Are you happy in this modern world?" and "Tell me something, boy / Aren't you tired trying to fill that void?" These dialogues reveal both their vulnerabilities and their desire for change. Lady Gaga stated that she wrote the song from Ally's point of view, highlighting the importance of moving away from superficiality. The chorus, "We're far from the shallow now," marks the recognition that, together, the characters have overcome fear and found a space to be authentic.
So...
