The song is about is the passing of GaGa's grandfather, who died last year. She said in an interview, "My dad and I were going to say goodbye to [my grandpa] at the hospice, and I got out a big thing of agave tequila and my dad sat next to me at the piano and we started doing shots back and forth, and I wrote The Edge of Glory on the piano and my dad and I cried. The song's about your last moment on earth, the moment of truth; the edge of glory is that moment right before you leave the earth. So that song can be played on the piano, but it's actually set to this giant, huge techno rock Springsteen-esque dance beat... It's f**king beautiful." Indeed it is. The song also features a saxophone solo from Bruce Springsteen's sideman Clarence Clemons. Enjoy!
