As promised, Lady Gaga premiered a brand new song, "The Edge of Glory," on Monday afternoon. The anthemic song features a sax solo by Clarence Clemons of Bruce Springsteen's E Street Band. Gaga has said that the track was inspired by the death of her grandfather, and that it's about "your last moment on earth, the moment of truth, the moment before you leave earth."
""The Edge of Glory" isn't meant to be an official single, just a teaser for the new album, Born This Way. Another new single, "Hair," will be released at 1pm PT on Monday, May 16th. Clarence Clemons also plays sax in "Hair".
Here's the rolling stone preview:
"Hair" - "Hair" is another inspirational song in the mold of "Born This Way," but it's a bit weirder, mixing the yearning romantic melodrama of Pat Benetar's "We Belong" with the hard industrial metal edge of Broken-era Nine Inch Nails. The lyrics are essentially about embracing one's hairstyle as the ultimate expression of their identity, climaxing with Gaga triumphantly declaring "I am my hair!" in its huge sing along chorus. An anthem for hair salons everywhere.

i'm the most excited for that & government hooker.
how do you reckon that one out
I need to get some sleep
glad someone else heard it too haha
My parents put up a fight
And if I'm a hotshot,
Mom will cut hair at night
In the morning I'm sure of my identity
I scream Mom and Dad,
'why can't I be who I want to be
this is my prayer,
that I'll die living just as free as my hair.
Don't let it go
It's my identity
And I'll die living just as free as my hair
this is horrible

The Edge of Glory and Hair have been set as promo singles weeks ago before Judas was released though.
