The Edge of Glory
"The Edge of Glory" is a song by American singer Lady Gaga from her second studio album, "Born This Way" (2011). The song was released on May 9, 2011 as the album's third single. Initially released as one of two promotional singles for "Born This Way", it shortly became a single following its success in digital outlets worldwide. The song was written and produced by Gaga and Fernando Garibay, and is a pop, electro-rock, and disco song that speaks of the last moments of life. According to Gaga, lyrical inspiration came from the death of her grandfather, who died in September 2010. Along with a saxophone solo played by Clarence Clemons, the melody of the song resembles much of the musical works of Bruce Springsteen, and contains several qualities similar to that of 1980s adult contemporary musical works.
