Song of the Day: 'Million Reasons' by Lady Gaga

I live in a vacuum, musically and otherwise. So when I was riding back in a Lyft from a funeral in Bayonne, N.J., last week I was subjected to music out of my control for the first time in awhile. Things started promising with "Lucky Star" then nostalgic enough when "Dancing on the Ceiling" came on next. The stripped-down ballad that followed was a mystery to me, but I was pleasantly surprised by its passion and simplicity. When my Shazam app revealed that it was Lady Gaga with those one hundred million reasons to walk away, it reaffirmed what I said about this after-my-time phenomenon when I found out another song I discovered I liked ("You and I") was also by her: She's not bad.
