Ive liked Johns work for years, and never been the biggest fan of hip hop, but always like this song. I agree, I wish they would have collaborated more.
I haven't heard this song in about 13 years and I still remembered the whole thing. I can picture where I was the first time it came through my headphones so vividly. There's something special about music that I'll never be able to put my finger on fully. I'm about to fuckin cry.
comments now are like no one: person in video: *time stamp* or they're like "who's watching in (current year)?" or the worst is when they have a line, a bunch of spaces so theres a read more, then an unfunny punchline, like (setup) (*punchline*)
Man something about these particular track, Ye's songs always hit me in the nostalgic feels but this track just reminds me of my old school and friends, that happy childhood, all sparkly filled with love and cartoons. Damn, sucks that I grow further away from those memories.
Same! College dropout, late registration and graduation released when I was just a kid. Times were much simpler and happier. These albums take me back to those times
People like you only follow what the media and the soulless businesses want you to think. Ye is right about the industry, the censors, everything. Pay attention for once.
@@commandergoliath6392 Kanye is literally sympathizing with Hitler and Nazis, as well as openly resenting Jewish people. Stop trying to be counter culture and take what he's saying for what it is: absurdity.
Are we not going to talk how catchy John Mayer's hook is? Mayer and Kanye has always been my favorite musicians. Both started with big ego, and over the time, they learn to become more humble and become a much greater musician. Both a virtuoso on their respective genres.
9 year old comment. When you wrote it you were a completely different person then you are now. Who knows if you even have access to this account anymore
man this song is the first song that made me actually cry. My ex-stepdad had a playlist on his computer, he left it in our room and we would listen to his music all the time. he had some good ass choices. This, Big Brother, Seduction (Eminem), Beautiful (Eminem), Pimpin All Over the World (Ludacris), Juicy (Biggie), and then Drop the World and a few other songs. When I was 14, I got in trouble a lot so I didnt get to play a lot of video games. I spent most of the time reading and listening to music and when this song came on let me tell you I vibed. I vibed to another dimension. I would give anything to be 14, just starting high school again. There's so much shit I would have done differently. One of those things is saving that bastard's playlist to a flashdrive and putting in on my laptop. The other is finishing the Naruto manga and Maximum Ride series.

@@sean-nk3wp 3 of the greatest songs of the year is featured on Donda (hurricane,24,moon). Great production, amazing features but Ye needs a ghostwriter. He needs to get back cool with madlib and GLC. Overall pretty good album but lacks in replay value.
@@rbntlly right, this was a japan exclusive, but lets hope it gets on the us version too, also for some reason spotify says graduation came out in 2010 since good night has been added
DAaaaym Keisha Cole's voice sends shivers down my spine. But flip this song is so flipping true, hits right there where it hurts in the figurative heart... Thanks for the post.
This is great. I had a gf who I did not strike because I refused to go to jail. This song almost recounts that relationship. FAMILY COURT barred her from my apartment. I don't want her and learned over time I didn't need her. Bittersweet is my saliva, however. KANYE STAY STRONG.
Back in 2004, Kanye worked this song with Jon Brion & John Mayer for Late Registration. Because of the landscape of this song, it was moved to Graduation. I believe this song wasn’t on the album but added on the bonus tracks, it’s because of sample clearance
I'm a huge Kanye fan but how did I miss this song? Never heard of it or even the title. This is so bittersweet for me. Man Kanye is the best of all time
G-man Einstein Einstein me too man. It’s a Japanese exclusive bonus track. “Goodnight” is the other bonus track on Graduation. I also just discovered a UK Exclusive bonus song on Late Registration called “We Can Make It Better”. Definitely worth a listen
I think the most brilliant thing about this song and its composition is how PERFECTLY the musical instruments, melody & harmony & so on encapsulate a "bittersweet" feeling
Covid 2020 fu%k you. I was trying everything I could to keep my fiance and family together from previous stress. After this year it completely shattered it and they are now gone. I can't stop crying and listening to this. Love your loved ones and pray to whomever you pray to not to experience this hurt.
I am stunned that this is a 15 year old video. I love you Kanye. I can’t believe I still find new stuff from him this old but god damnit I love this man. I hope you’re still with us Ye and they didn’t actually clone you 😢 Love you Ye
late registration, college dropout, and graduation are by far his best. 808's and MBTWF were still good albums for sure, but his old soul/rap was top notch
Aidan Di Palma I THOUGHT THE SAME. until I went to see the tour. that album is different then all the bullshit on the radio. so at first glance its hard to appreciate it. its ahead of its time...production wise. beats are not even close to anything u hear on the radio. its a good thing, hip hop is getting bland sidebar: I went to see yeezus in Brooklyn, MSG, AND PRUDENTIAL CENTER IN NEWARK! that's how good the show was. which made me love the album
I hear you keyshia in the background. Kanye killed this man he should've put this here. I mean I thought we were his people how he gone screw us over like that.
@@jacobbuchanan9438 goodness lol I was 17 when this happened. Probably a senior in high school. Now I'm married, a pastor, and a few months from my 2nd masters.... And I still think this should have been on the album lol
@@dmaster2 dude you commented this 12 years ago i turn 14 in 8 days, thats crazy. I cant imagine how it was to live in the era of kanye west before all this stupid drama, i just wanna know what it was like to experience his music when it first came out.
@@jacobbuchanan9438 I wish I could explain it to you. Kanye had one of the greatest runs in hip hop history. One of (if not the only) huge rapper at his time who wasn't trying to be a thug. Almost single handedly got everyone switching from tall tees to polos and stuff. I mean the man had folks wearing those weird glasses that were shades and stuff. His influence was huge but the music is timeless. If you listen to this and early lupe at the same time you should get it. Kanye was even louder back then it's just that people agreed with him back then and he made better music.
@@dmaster2 its crazy that kanyes music is still impacting people. I have found a lot of self confidence in my self listening to kanye and at this age for me you are always being judged and told you can not accomplish what you desire and what i have learned from him is that you can do anything all it takes is confidence and the ability to not care about peoples perspective on you. Its so sad that most of my generation will never be able to hear kanyes music because they hear that he is crazy from the media. when that man dies the world will be shaken and then people will find his music again and release that he changed hip hop and lives.
It makes me feel like everything is over. Like the end of the journey has come to an end and everyone is smiling and cheering. We are all going our different ways

[John Mayer:]
Bittersweet
You're gonna be the death of me
I don't want you, but I need you
I love you and hate you at the very same time
Bittersweet
[Kanye West:]
See, what I want so much should never hurt this bad
Never did this before, that's what the virgin says
We've been generally warned, that's what the surgeon says
God, talk to me now, this is an emergency
And she claims she only with me for the currency
You cut me deep, bitch, cut me like surgery
And I was too proud to admit that it was hurting me
I'd never do that to you, at least purposely
We breaking up again, we making up again
But we don't love no more, I guess we fucking then
Have you ever felt you ever want to kill her?
And you mix them emotions with tequila
And you mix that with a little bad advice
On one of them bad nights, y'all have a bad fight
And you talk about her family, her aunts and shit
And she say, "Motherfucker, your momma's a bitch"
You know, domestic drama and shit, all the attitude
I'd never hit a girl, but I'll shake the shit out of you
But I'mma be the bigger man, big pimpin' like Jigga man
Oh, I guess I figure it's

Bittersweet
You're gonna be the death of me
I don't want you, but I need you
I love you, hate you at the very same time
Bittersweet
[Kanye West:]
See, what I want so much should never hurt this bad
Never did this before, that's what the virgin says
We've been generally warned, that's what the surgeon says
God, talk to me now, this is an emergency
And my niggas said I shouldn't let it worry me
I need to focus on the girls we getting currently
But I been thinking and it got me back to sinking
And this relationship, it even got me back to drinking
Now this Hennessy, uh, it's gonna be the death of me
And I always thought that you having my child was our destiny
But I can't even vibe with you sexually
'Cause every time that I'd try, you would question me
Saying, "You fucking them girls, disrespecting me
You don't see how your lies is affecting me?
You don't see how our life was supposed to be?
And I never let a nigga get that close to me
And you ain't cracked up to what you were supposed to be
You always gone, you always be where them hoes will be"
And this the first time she ever spilled her soul to me
[John Mayer and Kanye West:]
Bittersweet (I fucked up and I know it, G)
You're gonna be the death of me (I guess it's bittersweet poetry)
I don't want you, but I need you
I love you and hate you at the very same time
Bittersweet
You're gonna be the death of me
I don't want you, but I need you
I love you and hate you at the very same time

@@seventhheaven285 thoughts on donda ?
@@sean-nk3wp 3 of the greatest songs of the year is featured on Donda (hurricane,24,moon). Great production, amazing features but Ye needs a ghostwriter. He needs to get back cool with madlib and GLC. Overall pretty good album but lacks in replay value.
if drunk and hot girls got replaced by this graduation would be one of the greatest albums of all time
“the greatest”
@@solomonrobertross7490 that is indeed what he typed
@@crafterrium8724 Nah he said one of the greatest i said the greatest as in goat
It already is
Don't you dare disrespect that track 🤬💀
I will hear this song everyday for one year from now, Today is Day One
1 / 365
Did you do it?
he definitely did not @@mayeyo185
Did u do it
why we don't have this masterpiece on spotify...
it was originally only on the Japanese version, so it never came out i Europe/US.
it didn’t fit the tone of graduation
@@noonehere2869 it kinda does tho
bruh i was literally lookin for it just now
@@noonehere2869 for me it has that innocent sound that graduation has
this feels like celebration's graduation equivalent. the beats have such a similar tone. the song's named well; it feels bittersweet.
good night made it to spotify pray that this makes it too
people in the UK have had Good Night since Spotify released and this song is in Japan right?
@@rbntlly right, this was a japan exclusive, but lets hope it gets on the us version too, also for some reason spotify says graduation came out in 2010 since good night has been added
Kanye created this song, and said "Yeah I'm gonna put 'Drunk and Hot girls' on the album instead."
I’m so depressed this song never released, John Mayer’s vocals are perfect.
Thank you for giving JM credit. He produced, played guitar, vocals, keyboard, wrote half the lyrics, and Kanye give him credit for writing the hook
It's not on Spotify but, if you get a physical copy it should have it on there as a Japan bonus track.
@@Snowride1080 Oh, you were in the studio?
@@maka8551 Nope, but I’ve watched a few videos where Kanye & John Mayer discuss the track.

I remember a classmate wanting to borrow my Zune just to listen to this song. I took a listen and realized why. Good ole days.
what's a zune?
@@locus3392 Zune was a music player that Microsoft put out back in 2006.
bro i wish kanye still had cute production like this
masterpiece. lyrically, beat wise
Bittersweeeet, you're gonna be the death of meee. Beautiful Melody too, crazy how this relatively unknown Ye track is easily one of his best
Spent $70 on a graduation vinyl only released in the Netherlands just to have this song on it
Definitely worth it
I know that vinyl is worth way more now
where can I get one?
@@cockatoosrus9057 the netherlands I would assume
@@highlander2319 bruh you know what I mean lmao
how am i only just now discovering this song for the first time? beautiful
It was a bonus track for graduation but it was removed sadly
If this was on graduation instead of drunk and hot girls it would be the greatest album of all time
Bandwagon opinion
@@Bruhdawg69 good opinion.
I come every year to praise this song. Wish it was on streaming services in the US.
DAaaaym Keisha Cole's voice sends shivers down my spine. But flip this song is so flipping true, hits right there where it hurts in the figurative heart... Thanks for the post.
I will hear this song everyday for one year from now, Today is Day Eleven

This is great. I had a gf who I did not strike because I refused to go to jail. This song almost recounts that relationship. FAMILY COURT barred her from my apartment. I don't want her and learned over time I didn't need her. Bittersweet is my saliva, however.
KANYE STAY STRONG.
this song helped me through 2 break ups but gotta make it a 3rd now

@@WeNightFall dababy
Just stay single homie. No girls no problems. Friends and family is all you need.
808 & Heartbreak has helped me through a couple crushed relationships.
It's criminal how this song is one of his best yet the most underrated...
Kanye saved my life, if I ain't had his music in that place I would've ended it. shits so complicated now
dayum..my ex jus dedicated dis to me...this is so us!
12 years, this comment is a time capsule
These comments are absolute relics of a simpler time 😕
13 years...
Bro I was 3 when you made this comment
I completely forgot about this joint. Haven't heard this in over 10 years. So many memories right now. Kanye the goat.
Its been 14 years and i still bump this song like it just came out
literally kanye
i love you and hate you at the very same time
Funny I could never find this song on RUclips and now all of a sudden it’s available. Grateful .
It has been on RUclips for 14 years
@@jakeblaak4005 😭
The beat just reminds me of times where life was simple
Back in 2004, Kanye worked this song with Jon Brion & John Mayer for Late Registration. Because of the landscape of this song, it was moved to Graduation. I believe this song wasn’t on the album but added on the bonus tracks, it’s because of sample clearance
I'm a huge Kanye fan but how did I miss this song? Never heard of it or even the title. This is so bittersweet for me. Man Kanye is the best of all time
G-man Einstein Einstein me too man. It’s a Japanese exclusive bonus track. “Goodnight” is the other bonus track on Graduation. I also just discovered a UK Exclusive bonus song on Late Registration called “We Can Make It Better”. Definitely worth a listen
@@juliangenova awesome. This song and white dress are just amazing
I think the most brilliant thing about this song and its composition is how PERFECTLY the musical instruments, melody & harmony & so on encapsulate a "bittersweet" feeling
Man 9 years ago I wonder where you are now
Covid 2020 fu%k you. I was trying everything I could to keep my fiance and family together from previous stress. After this year it completely shattered it and they are now gone. I can't stop crying and listening to this. Love your loved ones and pray to whomever you pray to not to experience this hurt.
May all your wishes come true in 2021...God bless you!
Haven’t heard this song in 8+ years... Still know every single word to this CLASSIC.
2004-2007 Kanye really is special and pure
Im goin thru a breakup and everytime i listen to this makes me extremely regretful man, damn.
Sue
Hope ur healed up g
Why is this planet not appreciative enough of these amazing versions of hiphop
Still to this day I can listen to this song over and over again! Definitely my fave!! 2bad this one isnt on spotify..
One of my favorite Kanye Song's! Woke up to this in my head!
same
I am stunned that this is a 15 year old video. I love you Kanye. I can’t believe I still find new stuff from him this old but god damnit I love this man. I hope you’re still with us Ye and they didn’t actually clone you 😢 Love you Ye
late registration, college dropout, and graduation are by far his best. 808's and MBTWF were still good albums for sure, but his old soul/rap was top notch
wish he'd go back to it instead of this go hard bullshit just because it's what this new gen wants.
***** this gen hated yeezus as far as I know
I think all of his albums are really good in their own ways, Yeezus does have a few weak songs but damn is it good live.
Aidan Di Palma I THOUGHT THE SAME. until I went to see the tour. that album is different then all the bullshit on the radio. so at first glance its hard to appreciate it. its ahead of its time...production wise. beats are not even close to anything u hear on the radio. its a good thing, hip hop is getting bland
sidebar: I went to see yeezus in Brooklyn, MSG, AND PRUDENTIAL CENTER IN NEWARK! that's how good the show was. which made me love the album
Chris Marchese agreed. His first 3 albums >>>>>>god-tier status
almost forgot to listen to this today
The greatest artist of our generation and its so clear to see, this album is a masterwork, forever and always a ye fan
I hear you keyshia in the background. Kanye killed this man he should've put this here. I mean I thought we were his people how he gone screw us over like that.
12 YEARS hows life I bet a lot has changed
@@jacobbuchanan9438 goodness lol I was 17 when this happened. Probably a senior in high school. Now I'm married, a pastor, and a few months from my 2nd masters.... And I still think this should have been on the album lol
@@dmaster2 dude you commented this 12 years ago i turn 14 in 8 days, thats crazy. I cant imagine how it was to live in the era of kanye west before all this stupid drama, i just wanna know what it was like to experience his music when it first came out.
@@jacobbuchanan9438 I wish I could explain it to you. Kanye had one of the greatest runs in hip hop history. One of (if not the only) huge rapper at his time who wasn't trying to be a thug. Almost single handedly got everyone switching from tall tees to polos and stuff. I mean the man had folks wearing those weird glasses that were shades and stuff. His influence was huge but the music is timeless. If you listen to this and early lupe at the same time you should get it. Kanye was even louder back then it's just that people agreed with him back then and he made better music.
@@dmaster2 its crazy that kanyes music is still impacting people. I have found a lot of self confidence in my self listening to kanye and at this age for me you are always being judged and told you can not accomplish what you desire and what i have learned from him is that you can do anything all it takes is confidence and the ability to not care about peoples perspective on you. Its so sad that most of my generation will never be able to hear kanyes music because they hear that he is crazy from the media. when that man dies the world will be shaken and then people will find his music again and release that he changed hip hop and lives.
He rly got Chris Martin and John mayor on this album
and keyisha cole
I’ve been looking for this song for years! I had it downloaded off of lime wire back when I was a kid and then I could only ever find it on tumblr
Welcome back
I feel like crying 😢 this whole album is beautiful
Kanye is in a class of his own, a truly gifted mixer of genres and maker of beautiful hip hop
this easily takes a spot in kanyes top 5 songs of all time . everything about it is perfect
Fr
Still my favorite album of the first 25 years of this 2000 era
Who Bittersweet in 2020 still 👀
Tony nembhard I got you fam
Me!!!!
2021
2024 vultures dropped
It makes me feel like everything is over. Like the end of the journey has come to an end and everyone is smiling and cheering. We are all going our different ways
I love how Kanye always sums up the feelings that we can't put into words.
Broke up w/my girl a week ago. This song really describes the feelings.
