Miles Romo I’m not comparing the voice to mike dean playing lol I’m saying if Ye couldn’t play then mike dean could’ve, but Kanye had his own vision of what he wanted done
if you ever happen to stumble by this comment, it’s gonna be okay man. i know life is hard right now, but it won’t be like that forever. take a deep breathe, calm down buddy. Those good days will come back, I promise, you will be happy again. Stop being so hard on yourself, take it one day at a time. you are loved, i promise
The whole song he talks about the public not understanding him, So when the guitar solo starts the only audible thing you can hear is "imma be honest", before his "voice" fades into gibberish/sounds, a metaphor for the public's perception of him. We will only truly appreciate Kanye once he's gone 😢😢
You’re not going to rebuild them all. In fact you’re not going to rebuild the majority of relationships. You have to focus on the few who are willing to accept you for your faults. At the end of the day you can try to fix everything but some things are broken for good. I have my small group of friends and my family. I moved on because I know after what I did my reputation is permanently stained. Kanye came back after the VMAs and drop the best album of the decade. People hate him still. Yet he continues to make the best music of our generation. Just keep moving forward, improving yourself.
I'm bipolar as well, you can't blame shit on your illness. You're more than what you're diagnosed as and if you truly do your best then it won't fuck anything up. I've ruined a couple of relationships when on the down swing from a manic episode, but I've learnt from that and now I can see it coming and I explain it to the person in question and I do my best not to let my mental illness control me. Hold you head high king!
I think this was my first favorite song. Like an important favorite song. Not just one you like because you're a kid and it sounds good. People *hated* kanye in this time period. My parents didn't want me listening to him. This is the first song that introduced me to the feeling of real music. To escape, be free, live in your own world. Music is powerful, and I think that's why I've loved this song for so long.
This made me really relies that me finding this song when i was 14 was the split from boy to truly developing into a man, and that was the first time ive cried since i was 12
This makes me picture the end of a film about a disgraced pop star (so basically Kanye in 2010), he's performing this song and absolutely singing his heart out. At the end of the "voice solo", he takes a bow, and the camera cuts to the audience. It's empty. Roll credits.
runaway is perfection, my favourite ye song ever the way he managed to make a ten minute song so complex and so much different sounds yet still be good is beyond me. genius shit
Praying for you Ye, I don’t need another album from you like these other fans, I just want you to be whole again someday. We can talk about music later, please take time to heal.
Every time Kanye says some dumb shit in public I come back to this 😔💔. This song is a perfect example of how he struggles with articulating himself. He tries to convey a message like the first half of this song, but his word choice/method are almost always wrong, his message gets distorted and confusing just like the outro. I hope he gets the help he needs soon.
a year ago today, i had one of the worst mental breakdowns of my life, and while i was sobbing, i opened my "slowed songs" playlist, and this song came up, and served as perfect accompaniment to my emotions; if anything, it fit how i was feeling. I didn't want anyone in my life because I thought they didn't want me because of my bad traits, and that in the end I'd just screw them over. I thought that because of how I perceived myself, I could never change my bad traits. I genuinely felt like I wasn't worthy of anything anymore. I've heard this song at regular speed many times, and I always loved it, but hearing it slowed allowed me to appreciate not only the production, but the lyrics and meaning. Especially the outro, with the vocoder, I remember sobbing so hard to that, because i felt like I'd never be able to get out of this mental hell I was feeling, like how kanye was "trapped" in the vocoder. But after listening to it, I was able to calm myself down, and move on safely. looking back a year later, I can say that i'm doing much much better, and it just seems like a far off dark period in my life, but even now, hearing this again, it still brings tears to my eyes just remembering how introspective it was to my own feelings that night. (sorry for the personal paragraph, it felt really therapeutic for me to just write it all out)
Not only is this my favorite album by Kanye but this is my favorite song by him. Every song just meant a lot to me at the time when I first heard them all. This one though is just special to me for some reason.
I always come back to this song and be amazed at how many people really love this song like it reminds me of like a wall where everybody Writes their name and leaves a message for the next person that writes their name.
This song pictures out my life with females that I struggle with daily. Shit kinda hurts. But once you get use to a feeling you just become numb to it.
To me this is art at its finest music and drawing mixed with editing its just pure creation stuff like this makes me really appreciate the beauty of the human mind
This will always be my favourite song, this song will always help me through my darkest times and this song will always mean the world to me. Thank you
This makes me so emotional i wanna cry every time i hear:( Man we’ll gon be alright! We ll go through this, we will be happy and satisfied one day. Pain and suffer will stop im telling you, one day it will all be just a memory. Keep your head, we never alone in our problems. Year later, I’m still working on myself and my problems. And I’m still fucked up. But it doesn’t mean shit. We are all gonna be happy and free. We just have to keep fighting. Keep doing our best so when we face our failure we would certainly know that it’s not a failure, it’s a new beginning. Be safe🙏
These days have reminded me of my darkest times. The level of numbness i feel is immeasurable. I feel so empty and out of place with a big feeling of belonging nowhere. It gets super lonely. I know it'll go away, but deep down inside i know i want to disappear from everything and never look back. It's just so exhausting to be alive sometimes.
This song is so powerful and has so many different messages in it. In 2009, Kanye attempted to take his own life but stopped himself (not entirely sure of his reasoning). But anyways, Kanye was so hated after the Taylor Swift incident, his opinions on George Bush, etc. But in 2010, Kanye and his team flew to Hawaii with a bunch of up coming artists and already legendary artists and had the goal to construct the perfect and best album ever. This song, however, is like a distress signal and basically like Kanye's emotions and feelings throughout the years with his rise to fame and all that just slapped on one ten minute masterpiece. This was Kanye's cry for help and it worked, he slowly got out of debt and now is the one of the most successful artists to ever live with over a $2B net worth. This was the turning point from his lowest to getter better again. This one song literally saved his entire career. This song has as many meanings as you want to be and that's just the power to music. This is also the reason why this song is in my top 5 songs of all time. Truely a work of art. The rest of the album included.
This Song Perfectly Encapsulates The Complexity Of The Human Mind. This is shown through the constant back and forth in the language of the lyrics. At times, they seem to be based around heartbreak, and other times, just complete and utter narcissism. Dont even get me started on the background music. From the repeating ostinato of the piano repeating throughout the entire song, a perfect symbol and metaphor of Kanye's love, to the patronising, "LOOK AT YA!" That audibly circles you as you listen the same way that it must feel for Kanye to constantly be hearing negative comments. This song is perfect, literally perfect. I can't think of a single change I'd make if i had the chance. ❤
This song meant so much to me before my ex and I broke up, now that I listen to the lyrics I realize that it means so much more and it’s ironic that this was one of our favorite songs
What song should I do next?

He’s gone bro sorry
There’s not enough words to describe how beautiful this is
That’s why he stopped using words at the end
Wear headphones, close your eyes. You're at the greatest live performance of this song
i js imagine drums
When Kanye is singing in his normal tone (not falsetto) it sounds oddly a lot like Kid Cudi I love it
check out kids see ghosts cudder + kanye together in one dope collab album
