You probably tried doing it remotely when a friend who probably moved across the state by hitting the ‘play’ button for the same song at the exact same time. You can be located down the street from a few friends or halfway across the world these apps allow you to listen to music together.ĭo you often long for times when there was all the time and opportunity in the world to hang out and just listen to your favorite tracks. I mean, c’mon, look at this.Listening to music with friends can be fun, and fortunately, many music sync apps allow you to do just that regardless of distance. But “Naatu Naatu” from RRR won, which is still a win for everyone watching the Oscars. But you might find that you can be your own hero even if you feel broken inside.

And we all need a hero sometimes - there’s heroes all around us in unassuming places.

We need a lot of love to walk through this life. It’s deeply personal for me, and I think that we all need each other. I wrote this song with my friend BloodPop for the film Top Gun: Maverick in a studio basement. Almost (not quite, never that close, but almost), maybe, too close? But it all seemed to be part of the raw and relatively unfiltered vibe Gaga wanted for the performance. It also involved the camera pushing in very close on her - real close. On-stage, Gaga went for more of an MTV’s Oscars Unplugged look, wearing just ripped black jeans and a gray t-shirt. Gaga showed up to perform the original song she wrote for Top Gun: Maverick, “Hold My Hand.” While the music video is all heartfelt bravado - Gaga wearing a fighter jacket in front of a wind machine mixed in with footage from both Top Gun movies - the Oscars performance was different. The 2023 Oscars featured a lot of things: a long list wins for us all to argue about, beautiful gowns, another live performance from Rihanna this year, and some extreme close-ups of Lady Gaga.
