I joined the military and was gone from home for 10 years. I relied on this song to make it back home and be with my friends and family. This song was my lifeline. I got out of the military and my family and friends were different. I came home but my home wasn't there. Listening to this song is like sitting in the past and I remember the good times. I wish I never joined so that I could have held onto what made me feel whole-family and friends. Now, I use the music that was out when I joined to remember the past. It gives me goosebumps. I wish things were the way they were before but time moves on.
I left home a few months ago, this song passed my mind as what I'm gonna listen to on the plane/train home knowing I'm going home to start something new, and start something again (school)
No matter what Kanye does or how irrationally he acts in the present day, nothing will ever take away from the fact that he’s made some of the best music in his generation.
he an artist, he emotional and sensitiv....he wants to prove himself to the world....problem he already way bigger than he realizes Good luck yeezy...get well and be yourself.....fuck the rest cause u one o the best
The fact that Chris of all people collaborated with Kanye is just amazing, it's a clear example of how two people from different genres can make a masterpiece.
He grows on people, when he met Trump I deleted all of his songs, then I watched Alot of his interviews, and realized the media twisted his image and words, I'm listening to him again.
@@gqpromotionchanel not even that, all that trump shit don't define Ye's career at all. It seemed like y'all completely forgot who that man was because of his opinion idk if you was a real supporter of him if you did that. 🤔
This is in my opinion, Kanye’s best work. The storytelling, the hard lyrics, but most of all Chris Martin’s feature. Dude’s voice is actually angelic. I could listen to “baby do you remember when, fireworks at lake michigan?” for hours
@@Codo_Lyoko When did they fell off tho? They are number 4 in the world on Spotify with 87,3 million monthly listeners. Also afaik every coldplay concert is sold out. I think you just stopped listening to their music brother.
This is before his mother died and he was happy. Music is about an expression of one's soul. In the present moment Kanye West is experiencing a dark night of the soul. He lost his wife, kids, contracts, and even his mind and all the vultures came out just to pick his soul apart. You can't get this type of music from a person experiencing those things if he GENIUENLY makes music from his heart and soul.
After watching his documentary on Netflix, I love his songs even more. He really hustles to get that deal and respect to Donda, who was always supported him.
Every man black/white/hispanic/asian/etc should have that soul-sealed connection with his mother. No it doesn't make him a "mama's boy" or anything to that effect, it teaches him class/respect for women/ not to mention how she envisions a good man.
I'm a big Coldplay fan and I'm also a fan of Kanye West. This song is a real gem. Graduation is one of my best Kanye's album. Kanye wanted stadium status like Coldplay and he got it. He's phenomenal.
Kanye I don't know if you ever ready comments on your content but I hope you read this. You're music along with DMX and Jay Z's kept me going in the worst times of my life. Depressed, suicidal, seeing no future, to now as a very successful professional teacher abroad. Just wanted to thank you from the bottom of my heart. I'm grateful for all I have and for all who helped me in my life. Thank you Kanye. Much love my brother. May you forever be blessed.
What’s crazy is that I can remember the smell when I heard this song the first time in a Escalade going to DDs wit my cousins I remember it like yesterday I got my little toy car
Listened to this yesterday at my graduation. The sound of the kids yelling seniors through the halls as we headed towards the field. The smiles of everyone and the cheering will forever be engraved in my mind. Class of 2022
I was 8 years old when this song was released, but I had never heard it until this year. I'm 20 now. This song somehow feels like a nostalgia for a time I never experienced, but one I unconsciously lived through.
i was literally 3 years old, now 17, from germany, my parents didn't know kanye until i showed them ye like a 3 years ago. But i got the same vibe. my dad showed me much music from this period of time so i guess, many artists were inspired by ye or ye was inspired by them. Thats the only reason i can explain this nostalgia to myself tho
***** Fine. Lets take this into consideration. And i expect a valid rebuttal or else i will not reply. Kanye changed hip-hop. He has 6 of the most acclaimed albums ever released (My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy is regarded the best album of the 2010's so far). Lets not ignore the fact that he has 21 Grammy awards. His albums have been well received by legendary musicians like Bruce Springsteen, Lou Reed, Bono, Bruno Mars, Nas, Elton John, and even Obama (despite his Jackass comment referring to Kanye). The list goes on but i'll stop there. He changes his style on every single album of his. He began with soul sampling on his first album, to a baroque approach on his second album, then he incorporated electro/disco in his third..... all the way to his most recent album Yeezus, which was industrial hip-hop. He can mix genres, sample without difficulty, and is a VERY creative artist, who is overlooked because of his childlike antics. I feel you haven't listened to his music and hate because you do what the other brainwashed sheep do. But there i proved your point wrong.
***** not this song though you fucking idiot. And not any Kanye song talks about women in a demeaning way. Listen to his first 2 albums for more insight.
+LUKE ANDERϟϟON I could say the same thing about any type of music. All metal music is satanic All country music is about tractors All classic rock is about sex and drugs.

@@BauhausistThis is a trend that's been around for years. If something looks/sounds like another thing, people will pick fun at it. I don't like the meme, but I hope many younger people find this song because of the meme. I saw a meme a while back, which led me down a rabbit hole and now I'm getting into shoegaze because of it.
@ you know, you are right. Whatever shines more light on the so g is good, considering currently the artist isn’t necessarily the greatest promoter of his work.
***** but his music isn't actually that popular. His older shit (from his first 3-4 albums) got heavy airplay and sales, but ever since, his stuff has been popular every now and then. And his best album was one of his lesser selling albums.
The music and film industries are under the rule of lucifer, who is the master of masonry club. Think about it, all their HITS are about lust and fornication and being stressed and depressed, wanting to be done by “life”. None of them has meaning in their music.
Is no one going to acknowledge the piano in the background?!? Absolutely legendary!! I'm trying to learn it on the piano and when you listen to it broken down, only then will you realize it's true beauty and the masterpiece as a whole.
Hmm I understand that it's hard for a beginner, but actually it's just chords following a progression? It's not as hard or complicated as you make it sound
That's funny honestly this song was stuck in my head for two days I talked to my ex gf a few days ago and I was walking around the house singing the chorus maybe we can start again so I punched in start again on RUclips and here I am..
I hate to be the Stan but the greatest is Eminem. Some of Kanyes work has been brilliant but Eminem has far more consistency. He has far more technical ability and manages to create relatively simple emotive songs. Halies Song, Beautiful and When I'm gone for example.
There is a thin line between genius and insanity, very creative people will often seem irrational at times, Kanye has made some of the best music of our generation. College dropout is still my top 3 all time albums.
I danced with a girl from Whales to this song at a friends house. Just me and her in a room. We were both from out of town. She said nothing was going to happen, I said "I know." It was perfect.
You are not alone, some people can not split the persona from his music, for me he is a true Genius Álbum after album, the Best music i have heard on a long time
Joao Vitor Costa oh yeah dude, totally. Being born in a place where there are constant shootings and lots of gang violence along with extreme poverty is not bad at all
Sometimes I randomly have a Kanye verse pop into my head and have to refind a song and put it on my playlist and I’m like holy shit this is incredible how did I forget about this and that just reminds me that even Kanyes B or C tier songs are amazing and he is genuinely one of the greatest musicians of all time
Best Kanye song ever. Beat, flow, rhymes are all impeccable and Chris martins vocals add so much to the song. What makes this song so great is the wordplay and metaphor he uses of comparing a girl, Wendy, to Chicago, Windy City. The first time I understood that he was really talking about Chicago rather than a girl I came to appreciate the song so much more.
Hey Maruffi The metaphor is an homage to I Used to Love H.E.R by Common. Common was taking about the state of hip hop as a her, so Kanye flipped it to talk about Chicago. Two dope Chicago artists 💯
Opinions are like taste buds, they differ between people. Pablo is trash and this song is on many Top 10 kanye lists (I've seen it on at least 3). Homecoming is the best Kanye song ever made, and considering his last two albums, it always will be.
+Weaksauceization Aren't you contradicting yourself by saying opinions differ between people to go on and say Homecoming is the best Ye song ever made?
Weaksauceization It's not even top 10 if you're an avid Kanye listener who has listened to every album he has made. I can name 10 Kanye songs way better than this song off the top of my head. Graduation is not even Kanye's best album, it's actually his most commercial. Heard Em' Say, Late, Devil In A New Dress, Runaway, Lost In The World, Through The Wire, Gorgeous, Gone, Welcome To Heartbreak, We Major. Are all better than Homecoming lmfao. This is not a top 10 but all these songs are better than Homecoming.
I'm coming home again. Do you think about me now and then? Do you think about me now and then? Cause I'm coming home again I'm in home again. [Verse 1 - Kanye West] I met this girl when I was three years old And what I loved most she had so much soul She said, excuse me little homie, I know you don't know me- but, My name is Windy and, I like to blow trees and, From that point I never blow her off, They can come from outta town I like to show her off, They like to act tough, she like to tow em off, And make em straighten up their act, cause she know they soft And when I grew up she showed me how to go downtown And at nighttime my face lit up so astounding And I told her in my heart is where she always be She never mess with entertainers cause they always leave She said it felt like they walked and drove on me Knew I was gang affiliated got on TV and told on me I guess it's why last winter she got so cold on me She said, Ye keep making that, keep making that platinum and gold for me [Chorus - Chris Martin] Do you think about me now and then? Do you think about me now and then? Cause I'm coming home again I'm in home again Do you think about me now and then? Do you think about me now and then? Oh, now I'm coming home again Maybe we can start again [Verse 2 - Kanye West] But if you really care for her, then you would n-never hit the airport, To follow your dream, sometimes I still talk to her, but when I talk to her It always seems like she talking about me, She said you left your kids and they just like you They wanna rap and make show beats just like you, But they just not you and I just got through Talking bout what she can try to do just not new Now everybody got the game figured out all wrong I guess you never know what you got till its gone I guess this is why I'm here and I cant come back home And guess when I heard that when I was back home Every interview I'm representing you making you proud Reach for the stars so if you fall you land on a cloud Jump in the crowd, spark you lighters, wave em around, And if you don't know by now, I'm talking about Chi Town, [Chorus - Chris Martin] Do you think about me now and then? Do you think about me now and then? Cause I'm coming home again Maybe, do you remember when fireworks at lake Michigan Oh, now I'm coming home again I'm in home again Maybe, do you remember when fireworks at lake Michigan Oh, now I'm coming home again Maybe we can start again Loyee oyeee oh, loyee oyeee oh Coming home again Loyee oyeee oh, loyee oyeee oh Coming home again Maybe we can start again
I’m twenty now and man, Kanye has done so much for my life. Being young and hearing a rapper not afraid to be himself by talking/expressing their emotions as well as dressing however they wanted. I wish people gave Ye more credit. I know people usually talk about how Wayne raised a generation, but they forget Ye did as well.
Man this song really means a lot to me. When I was in drug rehab, my therapist and I would jam out to Kanye with her. Got outta treatment in January 2022. This is the song I blasted on my way home from rehab. Fucking brought me to tears. I used to listen to this song fucked up on fentnyal and xans, and now I’m about to hit a year clean on July 20th. Music really touches the soul, and helps me so much in my recovery. Truly blessed to be in recovery, and grateful that Kanye exists to help me through tough times
Kanye caught a lot of flak for bringing Chris Martin (British dude) on a song about Chicago, but I always thought it was a valid, deliberate stylistic choice. This song isn't just a love letter to Chicago--it's a song about Kanye's changing relationship to Chicago after he's become a famous, world-touring artist. If you've ever returned to your hometown after a long absence and a bunch of new life experiences, you do end up feeling like a foreigner in some ways.That outsider feeling is what Ye is trying to convey by having his inner voice of yearning for home be performed by a guy with a British accent. "Homecoming" is actually a pretty bittersweet song in that regard, because it acknowledges that while Chi is Ye's home, it will never fully be his home again. There will always be a part of him that feels foreign to it.
Going to Chicago for the first time ever tomorrow as a California native. Been a Chicago Bears fans since I was 14 I’m 32 now. Anytime I think of the City of Chicago this song starts playing in my head. Life long dream finally coming true tomorrow 🙏🏾💯🙌🏾🐻⬇️

@@BauhausistThis is a trend that's been around for years. If something looks/sounds like another thing, people will pick fun at it. I don't like the meme, but I hope many younger people find this song because of the meme. I saw a meme a while back, which led me down a rabbit hole and now I'm getting into shoegaze because of it.
@ you know, you are right. Whatever shines more light on the so g is good, considering currently the artist isn’t necessarily the greatest promoter of his work.

Damn the comment section is filled with people that just discovered the song or just realized how good he is
That's a good thing; some of the best things in life are those that grow on you, nostalgia inducing - they get better with time like fine wine.
Imagine in 10+ years. The youth that grew up learning that he’s “crazy” today due to the media finds out he’s an actual musical genius
Disgusting fr
Liked him back then to this day ... Jesus walks was like a song from heaven
That would be me lol.
It remains one of my favourites among Kanye's huge, impressive catalogue, Chris also gives it that beautiful nostalgic feeling. Timeless classic!!
The music and film industries are under the rule of lucifer, who is the master of masonry club.
Think about it, all their HITS are about lust and fornication and being stressed and depressed, wanting to be done by “life”.
None of them has meaning in their music.
Chris taking the guitar melody and transcribing it to piano made the track what it is
Kanye was so ahead of his time that he even predicted talk tuah at 1:38

Is no one going to acknowledge the piano in the background?!? Absolutely legendary!! I'm trying to learn it on the piano and when you listen to it broken down, only then will you realize it's true beauty and the masterpiece as a whole.
Dwyane Wade I totally agree with you
Travis
Dwyane Wade Kanye was originally a producer and Coldplay's lead singer is legendary at the piano. Perfect combo
Actually this was composed entirely by Warryn Campbell, who's most known for producing for the contemporary gospel duo Mary Mary
Hmm I understand that it's hard for a beginner, but actually it's just chords following a progression? It's not as hard or complicated as you make it sound
The fact that this song just popped in my head
That's funny honestly this song was stuck in my head for two days I talked to my ex gf a few days ago and I was walking around the house singing the chorus maybe we can start again so I punched in start again on RUclips and here I am..
Raymond Johnson lol
Yup same 💯

A classic Kanye masterpiece. The lyrics comparing his hometown to a long lost girlfriend fits perfect together.
I honestly think kanye is the greatest rapper of all time. He puts in so much creativity in his music that makes it so special.
Nope kendrick takes that one
@@brayden141 Agreed
You not alone
Kanye has a very wide variety of songs. None of them are alike
I hate to be the Stan but the greatest is Eminem. Some of Kanyes work has been brilliant but Eminem has far more consistency. He has far more technical ability and manages to create relatively simple emotive songs. Halies Song, Beautiful and When I'm gone for example.
One of the greatest hooks of a kanye song
Totally agree!
Chris Martin I think it is
one of the greatest hooks of all time
Young Krillin true
heard em say
One of the most beautiful and identifiable instrumentals of all time

There is a thin line between genius and insanity, very creative people will often seem irrational at times, Kanye has made some of the best music of our generation. College dropout is still my top 3 all time albums.
100% agree.
Soo on point
For sure
This 1 single song maybe gold digger
This song is not from college dropout it's from graduation
I danced with a girl from Whales to this song at a friends house. Just me and her in a room. We were both from out of town. She said nothing was going to happen, I said "I know." It was perfect.

Truest shit spit on this website
You are not alone, some people can not split the persona from his music, for me he is a true Genius

Sometimes I still talk tuah
Sometimes I randomly have a Kanye verse pop into my head and have to refind a song and put it on my playlist and I’m like holy shit this is incredible how did I forget about this and that just reminds me that even Kanyes B or C tier songs are amazing and he is genuinely one of the greatest musicians of all time
You really calling this song b or c tier? Wtf
Homecoming is probably one of his best ever songs
This is straight facts
A legit Genius
Ye wrote a whole Chi-Town anthem and people didn't realize it they need to play this in the Chicago airport as soon as u land
Ohare
Just listen to it on the plane when you’re landing. It’s just as good.
Great point
Hell yea they do
Not O'Hare Midway...Southside
Instrumental gives me chills
Those drums and piano go hard
This came on at the gym last night, it still hit the same way it did when it came out!!
Best Kanye song ever. Beat, flow, rhymes are all impeccable and Chris martins vocals add so much to the song. What makes this song so great is the wordplay and metaphor he uses of comparing a girl, Wendy, to Chicago, Windy City. The first time I understood that he was really talking about Chicago rather than a girl I came to appreciate the song so much more.
Hey Maruffi The metaphor is an homage to I Used to Love H.E.R by Common. Common was taking about the state of hip hop as a her, so Kanye flipped it to talk about Chicago. Two dope Chicago artists 💯
Hey Maruffi
he says "if you dont know by now im talking bout chi town" in the song...
Probably one of his best put together songs ever made
Agreed
Jesus Walks has entered the chat...

People ignoring the fact that Chris played the piano and sang the great hook that made the song

Yes that is the song on the surface to people who don’t really care about everything else going on metaphorically
Yea init Chris Martin made this spectacular

Best Kanye song ever made.
God if you give us old Kanye, we'll give you present Kanye.
Great song but it's not even top 10 Kanye bud
Saint Pablo is awesome tho
Opinions are like taste buds, they differ between people.
Pablo is trash and this song is on many Top 10 kanye lists (I've seen it on at least 3).
Homecoming is the best Kanye song ever made, and considering his last two albums, it always will be.
+Weaksauceization Aren't you contradicting yourself by saying opinions differ between people to go on and say Homecoming is the best Ye song ever made?
Weaksauceization It's not even top 10 if you're an avid Kanye listener who has listened to every album he has made. I can name 10 Kanye songs way better than this song off the top of my head. Graduation is not even Kanye's best album, it's actually his most commercial.
Heard Em' Say, Late, Devil In A New Dress, Runaway, Lost In The World, Through The Wire, Gorgeous, Gone, Welcome To Heartbreak, We Major. Are all better than Homecoming lmfao. This is not a top 10 but all these songs are better than Homecoming.
It is not what you do for your children, but what you have taught them to do for themselves, that will make them successful human beings.

"I guess you don't know what u got to its gone." Yeah... I felt that after Vultures 2..

I'm coming home again.
Do you think about me now and then?
Do you think about me now and then?
Cause I'm coming home again
I'm in home again.
[Verse 1 - Kanye West]
I met this girl when I was three years old
And what I loved most she had so much soul
She said, excuse me little homie, I know you don't know me- but,
My name is Windy and, I like to blow trees and,
From that point I never blow her off,
They can come from outta town I like to show her off,
They like to act tough, she like to tow em off,
And make em straighten up their act, cause she know they soft
And when I grew up she showed me how to go downtown
And at nighttime my face lit up so astounding
And I told her in my heart is where she always be
She never mess with entertainers cause they always leave
She said it felt like they walked and drove on me
Knew I was gang affiliated got on TV and told on me
I guess it's why last winter she got so cold on me
She said, Ye keep making that, keep making that platinum and gold for me
[Chorus - Chris Martin]
Do you think about me now and then?
Do you think about me now and then?
Cause I'm coming home again
I'm in home again
Do you think about me now and then?
Do you think about me now and then?
Oh, now I'm coming home again
Maybe we can start again
[Verse 2 - Kanye West]
But if you really care for her, then you would n-never hit the airport,
To follow your dream, sometimes I still talk to her, but when I talk to her
It always seems like she talking about me,
She said you left your kids and they just like you
They wanna rap and make show beats just like you,
But they just not you and I just got through
Talking bout what she can try to do just not new
Now everybody got the game figured out all wrong
I guess you never know what you got till its gone
I guess this is why I'm here and I cant come back home
And guess when I heard that when I was back home
Every interview I'm representing you making you proud
Reach for the stars so if you fall you land on a cloud
Jump in the crowd, spark you lighters, wave em around,
And if you don't know by now, I'm talking about Chi Town,
[Chorus - Chris Martin]
Do you think about me now and then?
Do you think about me now and then?
Cause I'm coming home again
Maybe, do you remember when fireworks at lake Michigan
Oh, now I'm coming home again
I'm in home again
Maybe, do you remember when fireworks at lake Michigan
Oh, now I'm coming home again
Maybe we can start again
Loyee oyeee oh, loyee oyeee oh
Coming home again

I’m twenty now and man, Kanye has done so much for my life. Being young and hearing a rapper not afraid to be himself by talking/expressing their emotions as well as dressing however they wanted. I wish people gave Ye more credit. I know people usually talk about how Wayne raised a generation, but they forget Ye did as well.

Man this song really means a lot to me. When I was in drug rehab, my therapist and I would jam out to Kanye with her. Got outta treatment in January 2022. This is the song I blasted on my way home from rehab. Fucking brought me to tears. I used to listen to this song fucked up on fentnyal and xans, and now I’m about to hit a year clean on July 20th.

Nah Kanye is the biggest part of the success
For vocals you can be right but whole piano written by him
Abdul Rahman trying hard much? They're equally talented and equally the reason why this song is so good
Kanye caught a lot of flak for bringing Chris Martin (British dude) on a song about Chicago, but I always thought it was a valid, deliberate stylistic choice. This song isn't just a love letter to Chicago--it's a song about Kanye's changing relationship to Chicago after he's become a famous, world-touring artist. If you've ever returned to your hometown after a long absence and a bunch of new life experiences, you do end up feeling like a foreigner in some ways.That outsider feeling is what Ye is trying to convey by having his inner voice of yearning for home be performed by a guy with a British accent. "Homecoming" is actually a pretty bittersweet song in that regard, because it acknowledges that while Chi is Ye's home, it will never fully be his home again. There will always be a part of him that feels foreign to it.
Well said! Wonderful comment!
Going to Chicago for the first time ever tomorrow as a California native. Been a Chicago Bears fans since I was 14 I’m 32 now. Anytime I think of the City of Chicago this song starts playing in my head. Life long dream finally coming true tomorrow 🙏🏾💯🙌🏾🐻⬇️
TB to when Kanye and Chris Martin were in respective primes. You don't get dope collabs like this often anymore.
Bay is Bae Kanye’s prime has yet to end
Josh Young dude Life of Pablo was mainly gibberish that just sounded nice but lyrically had no message. He's past prime.
so chris martin is no longer at his prime or you just don't follow coldplay ?
Snipershot498 Totally agree. First 3 albums were great, then Coldplay fell off hard, like unlistenable bullshit
