It's no wonder Kanye originally wanted this as the last single for the album. This entire track is the centerpiece of Graduation: an electronic hip hop hybrid working with its arena rock influences, and it feels so triumphant and hopeful. Both highs and lows in the mind of what a person wants to be and what they currently are. Kanye's approach to music was untouchable for so long, I hope the man finds his way back again.
This song hit differently for me these days I been feeling like a failure, it’s hard to grow up. Edit: I appreciate all the love, hope everyone good and keeps pushing. Last year was probably the worst year of my life, this year hasn’t treated me well but still its getting easier. God bless y’all, find your dreams!
Idk but when my dad died i felt like i never really bounced back! And its been 3 years now i feel like im a failure now but imma keep grindin dawg til the end! Fuck i wish you good and to all of us!! Better days are coming!!! Thats a fact!! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Don't worry bro you're not alone. There's always time for us to shine bright, life's all about up's and down's,if there were no down's you wouldn't know how it feels when you are up. Stay up and much love ❤️❤️❤️
2:56..... The violins rising, his vocals, the sample, reminds me i'm living my best life surrounded by family and friends. God bless all of you who took the time to listen to this piece of art
@@davidz2690 thats not what makes the song great. If the song was just the looped sample no one would give a shit. The genius comes from how Kanye took such a beautiful sample and put in a whole new context. The sample mixed with the synths and bumping drums makes a unique nostalgic but also futuristic vibe. which fits beautifully with the themes of the lyrics - growing up, chasing your dreams, looking at your past and your future. all this together creates a masterpiece of a song. The sample is just one part of what makes the song great.
I loved graduation as a kid, now that I’m older it’s a love hate relationship because I feel like such a failure. I feel like I’m running out of time to get my shit together
I feel that too. We all feel that way at a certain point in life. Just keep doing your thing, life can be a bitch most of the time, but there are those times that it hits you back with a good surprise.
I feel u my bro , feel like im in the same shoes. In uni now, been here 2 years , actually feel like ive been wasting time just spending my parents money , i work a little but no where near where i wanna be in life. Honestly , graduation is a state of mind, dont be scared to take the big jump. I watch ted talks to inspire myself and i honestly feel like when i actually graduate, after saving up money for 2 years after that , im actually gonna take a jump. Dont be scared. Give it your all
Man I'm assuming that you're at the absolute oldest in your late 20s. Your life dont end till you stop breathing, you got 60+ years to go and do shit. Get out of your head bro, you could do absolutely nothing till you're 30 and still get your shit together. All love, good luck man
A couple days ago on the first day of 7th grade I hacked into the school Soundsystem and congratulated the entire school for another year and this was the first song I played and the whole school started singing and giving to this and it's the most memorable day for students and staff. This song is legendary
This life is beautiful. It has its up and downs. But if you’re reading this and going through something. Always remember that there will be better days and that you must persevere until then. Keep your head up my friends.
There’s a certain sadness to that line. On its face it’s a boast, but it feels like he’s questioning himself. He is by all accounts, a “star”. So why doesn’t it feel good?
I’m high af in bed rn and I just discovered this song. Art. A masterpiece. I’m thinking about a lot of things in my life. About my first heartbreak, those awesome nights with my best friends. About different, and maybe better, choises that I could have made in my life. But you know what? I’m so grateful for everything that happened in my life. It made me the person I am today. Always find the positive in the bad, and never forget to be happy with yourself. If you’re reading this you’re a G, remember that. Never forget to hype yourself up, cause there’s only one YOU! You’re all mf stars my G’s, never stop shining.
Daan hey man i love this, life is all about making those decisions, good or bad and at the end of the day it makes us who we are, as long as you enjoy the ride
2:56 one day, I'm gonna achieve all my goals and aspirations, and this is gonna be playing in the background while I'm looking at the sunset on top of a mountain, I know it.
Encouragement at its finest. Foreal I need this kind of dreaming I been feeling down. Haven’t finished my classes looking to go back to find out what iam gonna do.
Damn I see a lot of young kids in here going through some shit... don’t worry about it, it’s all natural. Whatever you’re feeling, someone else has been in your same shoes, maybe in a different scenario, but that feeling is familiar to many people. Just keep moving forward. What has happened until this very point in your life that any of you may be reading this, has happened and you can’t change anything about it. The only way is forward. Keep going. Work hard, stay loyal to those who are good to you, stay true to yourself, and keep growing as an individual. Bless all of you.
i need this man more than any one can comprehend i’m 18 now but i delt with a life of mental and physical abuse and now i deal with ptsd i don’t sleep some nights because of my night mares and it sucks but i power through it i will remember this man thank you
As a high school student especially when I have English due assignments every month, Physics exams and homeworks(tomorrow I have a physics exam that I didn't study for), many math lessons and assignments that I didn't do, unfinished biology homeworks and about 7 long-ass biology videos that the teacher requested us to watch, I didn't watch them, all of this is making me depressed and overwhelmed and I'm becoming more nihilistic, depressed and doomerstic, I have an addiction as a 15 y.o now, my mom shouts at me for not attending sessions and not studying well, plus now I sleep in the morning and wake up at night, and this song helps me go through these tough times. I fucking hate my life. Right now it feels like an unending hellhole, but ik I'm going to get through this and finally be free.
2:56 easily the height of graduation. The feeling of Ambition and Hope. This is undoubtedly Kanye at his best . You can feel his passion and drive and it’s aww inspiring to say the least. I can’t help but scream with excitement.
I'm eighteen now, about half a year away from hitting nineteen. Ever since I was in diapers, I had my best friend with me. His family would invite me to their Thanksgiving, he would play catch with my dad in the yard, I would finish my calls with his mom with "Bye, I love you!" My mom would call him her son, and his dad would give me life advice. Growing up, I was never confident but always charismatic. I was constantly plagued with home life drama and struggling to be comfortable in my overweight body. He was the complete opposite, full of confidence but none of the charisma. We were the perfect duo. He would pick me up when I was down, take care of me if I was ever sick, and vice versa. I remember one time I fell asleep on his couch at a house party, and I pretended to be asleep to see why he was getting so close to me. Turns out he delicately reached out, took my glasses off and folded them to be put away on the table so they wouldn't be broken. We shared all the milestones of high school together, laughing our asses off the whole way. When he went through his first heartbreak, I forgave him for all the hilariously stupid things he did because I knew he did it for love, and we would eat ice cream and play sports video games even though I suck at them, just because I know how much it made him laugh to see me try so hard to beat him. We grew from babies to become brothers, and throughout high school, he was the biggest Kanye fan I ever knew. He introduced me to Graduation, Life Of Pablo, and showed me other rappers like Nas and J Cole. But I could feel something was getting worse in him, and I didn't know how to stop it. I never drank, I heard too many horror stories about what it does to your body. And he didn't either at first, but something in him changed after his heartbreak. He said it was just him having fun, but he was getting hammered much too often. I never juuled, smoked cigarettes or vaped, but I had watched him go from asking for a few hits off a juul a week to complaining to me about how he loses half his paycheck to mango pods. He used to tell me that "he's doing better, he used to rip two pods in a week and now it's only one," but he had given that excuse to me so many times that it was white noise at that point. I got high for the first time with him, and I remember begging him to never leave me because I love him like a brother. I got high once inawhile, he got high almost every night. We hit junior year, I fell into an abusive relationship and it took some time to get out of it and regrow from the awful experiences it had and guess who was right by my side? You guessed it. End of junior year came, I met the girl who I'm now discussing wedding plans with her father, and my brother didn't take it so well. He said I had replaced him, he said I was "the worst person ever," and then told me that because I never made time for him anymore, he had been dating my abusive ex girlfriend. Things just got worse from there. We stopped talking, we went from seeing each other every day to barely ever catching a glimpse of one another on our friends' social media pages. Now we're in college, I live on the near west side where I hear gunshots and sirens every night. I know he's out in South Carolina somewhere, and I know he's not doing too well. Jack, I know you barely went on RUclips and you would never watch something like a lo-fi remix of a Kanye song, but I thought here was a better place than most to tell you I still miss you, bud. I never listen to Kanye anymore because I always think of you and me shooting hoops until the sun went down, or the two of us walking to class freshman year trying to solve the mysteries of the universe together in under thirty minutes. I sent you a text on your birthday, I wasn't ever expecting you to respond to it but I like to think you got it since I have no way of knowing. I hope South Carolina's treating you well, I hope your classes are going well too. Thanksgiving's coming up real soon. There's always a seat saved for family, if you ever want to come by. My little sister still asks about you sometimes. Love you, Alex P.S. - Remember that song I made up when we were in middle school? "My girlfriend left me cause she was gayyy. I stepped in a puddle now my socks are all soggyyy." I hope you still have that video saved.
Listen.. if you're looking for a sign or something, please take this as one and reach out to him soon. You'll regret not doing it if something ever stops you from being able to later, trust me, I know.
@@zahraarnesen5740 It's not worth it.. my time is too valuable to focus on the past and try to bring it back. He's too far gone from the guy I knew to ever be worth my time. I was blessed with some memories I'll keep with me, and that's all he'll be to me.
Damn, reading the comments made me realize that I'm not the only one who's struggling with life right now. Wether it's losing a best friend, Getting cheated by your partner because of taking care of your sick parent or maybe it's because you're feeling like a such a failure right now, we're all in this together and we all should keep our heads up and hope for the best. Oh and here you dropped this on the way here 👑
SaintTacobell Hey. You don’t know me and I don’t know you but you’re a GOD. Maybe we all forgot along the way but everything will ALWAYS end up okay. Even if it seems like darkness. Don’t even wish ill on the people that did you wrong-hope they learn their evil ways and change. Be a ray of sunshine in these dark times of clouds and rain. May the universe align your stars so you hit the jackpot of happiness bruh. :)
@@johnnyb3872 ik man I try, I try to be the sunshine to brighten up everyone's day but sometimes People just don't want to be brighten and I get that because sometimes I be like that too. I hope that Jackpot will come sooner than expected tho, I'm in serious need of happiness right now.
Thank you man ,I just feel like I’m not enough for my parents,I feel useless and that’s why I feel depressed sometimes,ur the only person I’m telling you this because we both feel the same but wish you the best in life bro ,take care.
@@certified2279 we all know that our parents still love us in the end whether we end up as failures or successful people (let's hope it's the latter) but hey if they don't love you the way you are well.... You know what to do. Best of luck to you too!
This song is so real to me, I’m honestly so scared of this growing up shit. I know its not easy & I don’t wanna be a failure. I don’t wanna be stuck wondering what could have been
same. growing up is so scary because it feels like everything is happening so fast and i literally cannot keep up. i don’t know what i want to do with my life or anything of that sort and it’s just... idk. im just so scared to fail
Bro I ain’t worry cuz I can do anything I put my mind to as long as I believe in god I’m making it far so I don’t care about growing up never been depressed the only difficult thing I’ve ever faced is racism but somehow I still overcome don’t know why I’m just like this
This is the feeling of falling asleep on a long car ride passing by a distant city, the feeling of waking up so early on a winter morning that its still dark and falling right back into sweet slumber, the feeling of going on midnight bus rides alone to absolutely nowhere and watching lights and street signs flash by, the feeling of being so tired your eyes wont stay open and every sound blends together into a perfect harmony as you fall asleep, the feeling of faint deja vu listening to old 80's, the feeling of that melancholic nostalgia when you visit an old place. I'd like to imagine this song to be the feeling an astronaut feels, looking back at the earth from far away, looking back at the place youve been your whole life, where all your friends and memories are, where all your greatest achievements took place, where your tiny life started and where it will inevitably end, the feeling of true peace, knowing that everything youve ever known is so miniscule to the scale of everything, truly being alone with your thoughts, processing the utterly unbelievable one of a kind, oddly lonely but soothing feeling. This is truly an amazing feeling.
@@davidwayne1713 Listen man I ain’t giving you the same, “yOu aRE aN aMAziNG pErsON” what I will give is that no matter what you going through, talk to someone. When you feel pressured, only the most beautiful diamonds are created by pressure. Just remember, you CAN do this
I'm 20 years old and have never heard this song before but I love it so much, I wanted to be a youtuber my whole life it was my only dream and this song represents how far I have come to achieve my dream. 'And I wonder if you know what it means, to find your dreams' !!!
Right. Listening to this at night, it’s not as inspiring as the regular pitched version (not a bad thing). It’s more introspective and nostalgic feeling to me. Like thinking back on all the things I could have done rather than what I could do in the future. Idk maybe I’m looking too deep into it... Def feels different tho
Its going to go away like everything never forget who tf you are man!! YOU CAN DO EVERYTHING IN LIFE we all are gonna die one day inshallah we all living a good long lifr but thats just the circle and hey man the people are now in the reality
This song just brings the best out of me every time I hear it… “I’ve been waiting on this my whole life, these dreams be waking me at night.” That line resonates so much with me… I lay in bed not able to sleep, I get stressed out about the future and wanting so badly to be successful… I feel like this song is telling us to embrace the struggles in life because when it’s all said and done, when we’ve finally achieved our dreams, all that hard work and all those sleepless nights wondering about the future, really did pay off. Man this song is just beautiful.
@@deadstnr we will :), also don't say you wanna die though peeped your comment I used to think like that even worse detach yourself from that mindset I don't know your reasons but we share the same thoughts well I used to, just focus on yourself be yourself it'll all be good shit will make sense as you better your self . I'm having a setback rn but I'ma go nowhere being negative as well you you won't either .
I feel the same but the future is inevitable, we must learn to embrace it, because the biggest mountains have the greatest sunsets, the best is yet to come.
im scared too man. but its unavoidable. i want to be the person that later when im in my 80’s i can talk to my grandkids about stories i once had that will begin rn sooner or later. my life goal is that i want to atleast leave a mark on the world. i dont want to be forgotten
2023 sumer was goated when this song droped its was the best but then school stated and then other things happend it was terrible but we can all remember this so much❤❤❤
This song brings tears to my eyes. I remember the constant struggle i endured since 2011. Graduated from college, been fired from job after job. My first boss told me to quit while I’m ahead and that i would make it. Put a huge dent in my ego. Went back and got my MBA two years later to prove her wrong. Then the firings continued. Thought my purpose was to take what was handed to me and not share my imagination to the world. Last summer, my life changed forever. After doing Uber for 3 years straight, bouncing in the most notorious clubs 6 nights a week, 2 kids later...I got an investor for a business idea i been sitting on since 2016 and never looked back. Brought my imagination to life. God is real man. Don’t let anyone tell you that you cant create magic! Us Millennials have it hard...
it’s comforting knowing there’s multiple people here going through the same thing as me, some older other younger but regardless we’re all chasing our dreams and that’s enough to motivate me to wake up, much love to you all
I’m 18 years old, almost 19. I know I’m still a young kid with plenty of time, but I feel like life has been a loop lately. Every time I manifest and think about my dreams and desires, I begin to cry and get upset because sometimes I think those dreams are out of reach. I am currently tearing up while writing this. I continue to hold onto God and I have faith that he will take me to where I want to go. I hope all of you achieve your dreams. You only live one life, so follow your heart and do what you love. I hope that I can come back someday to this same comment and say something like “I did it guys, I made it, you can do it to.” Heh, one day 🤞🏿
This is what I’ve been jamming to since Kobe passed. How does it feel to have your dreams come true? Kobe knew and never looked back. I strive to be obsessed like he was. #RIPMAMBA
This whole depression thing sucks ass man, I'm trying so hard to be myself, but its literally like I've forgotten wtf that is and when I realize it I can't help but fall to pieces on the inside but at the same time I'm so desperately trying to hold on to those pieces. to whomever is feeling the same way I want you to take it as a sign of a new you or new beginning take those pieces and like a Phoenix rise up through the ashes of those pieces to find the new you, do something different be different. be the best YOU whether it's the new or old you. you might just find the old you along the journey or apart of the new you, no matter how many pieces you fall to, that's as many times you need to rise up
هذا الشيء الاكتئابي كله يمتص الحمار ، أحاول جاهدًا أن أكون نفسي ، لكن الأمر يشبه حرفيًا أنني نسيت wtf ، وعندما أدرك ذلك ، لا يسعني إلا السقوط إلى أشلاء من الداخل ولكن في نفس الوقت الذي أحاول فيه بشدة التمسك بتلك القطع. لمن يشعر بنفس الطريقة التي أريدك أن تأخذها كعلامة على أنك جديد أو بداية جديدة ، خذ تلك القطع ومثل فينيكس يصعد من خلال رماد تلك القطع للعثور على الجديد لك ، افعل شيئًا مختلفًا كن مختلفًا. كن أفضل ما لديك سواء كنت أنت الجديد أو القديم. قد تجد نفسك قديمًا على طول الرحلة أو بصرف النظر عن شخصيتك الجديدة ، بغض النظر عن عدد القطع التي تسقط فيها ، هذا هو عدد المرات التي تحتاج فيها إلى النهوض
i know no one is gonna read this but i feel like i need to let this off my chest. being a 2020 grad student rn is the worst. everything is canceled. i just clicked my final hand in about 20 min ago for English 12. I did it. im graduated. why do i feel so empty. I feel like i did not accomplish anything.
I read this to my girlfriend (a current grad student) she responded “To be fair, being a grad student is a revolving door of feeling unaccomplished” Keep your head up though (from both of us)
Congrats! It certainly takes an immense amount of courage to do that! Admittedly, I'm still waiting for that moment when I realize what my dream is, and how I'll go after it, but when it reveals itself to me, I know I'll take it! Anyways, Best of luck on your adventure! Peace and Love! 👏🙌
Every time I hear this song i feel alive, not happy, but not really sad either. It‘s this feeling that you get watching a sunset or when something really important happens in your life. This song just makes me remember things I’ve never experienced, like a far away memory but It’s not mine. I‘ve always been someone that thinks a lot about the future and what‘s gonna happen next. I’m always worried about my future instead of just living my life and enjoying it.I find it really difficult to stay in the present sometimes and I feel like I‘m missing out on life. When I listen to this song, everything feels so real, but so beautiful too. It just makes me wanna quit everything and live life like there is no tomorrow. Crazy how it affects me so much. I hope one day I‘ll stop wondering.
Wow I felt this REAL hard reading this man. 100% on the same page. I’ve tried it all and idk what do do. I think it’s just time to finally let go of everything and take a leap of faith and say F U C K I T and enjoy life!!!!
I’m a senior about to graduate and I’m listening to this right now before my last day of high school. Reflecting back on it I’ve failed in so many ways, but they were necessary. I thought I was gonna be a collegiate athlete and my dream collapsed with a broken hip, I thought I was gonna get into my dream school but it wasn’t meant to be. All these trials you all are facing will end the way they’re meant to. I don’t know whether my journey with athletics is over and you don’t know what the future holds. So as I go and enjoy my last day tomorrow, I hope you all enjoy the process and enjoy the good and bad all the memories which they form because at the end of the day the moments in the chaos are what make life beautiful.
“you can still be who you wish you is, it ain’t happen yet and that’s where the tuition is.” this line hits me so deep. for some reason, social media and society makes all of us believe that we have to be successful by a certain age. like we all have to have our entire life planned out by the time you graduate high school. truth is, it’s okay to not have everything planned out. it’s okay to not have all your shit together. stop comparing your life to others on social media. there’s no age limit to chase your dreams. stop worrying that you’ll be a failure if you’re not this or that by 25. no ones perfect. just take time find your dream and once you do, chase it to the very end.
This song reminds me of when I used to get home from school, and just play legos with my brothers. I am crying right now, this is incredible. Thank everyone who I have met in my life who has helped me get to this point. I love you all.

I was 17 when this came out, listening to it now makes me very sad, wasted 10 years of my life and I'm still trying to make my dreams come true, but I'm still trying, to all the kids out there don't make the same mistake I made, if you have something that you love to do, stick to it .... 🙏🙏
I wasted 3 years of my life, stopped working on my dreams and hustling and started partying and drinking every other day. Im back on track as of 3 months ago and it kills me inside all the things i could have accomplished in those three years. I can only imagine wasting 10 years,
@Lipe King I wasted 10 years of slacking off, doing drugs and nonstop partying, until I found out what really moves me, now that ive found my true passion I can only start anew
You wrote this a while ago. Hope your doing great now, if not it’s know this is just a small chunk of your life and it is never too late. You have so much of your life left. Have a great day
i may only be 13 but this motivates me to continue my studies and to become a successful engineer when i age. This song makes me want to power through my life and make it and thrive.
damn third person I found other than me to connect with this part of the song. I'm sure is the no-beat and frequency played along with the specific lyrics. Intentionally curated to motivate us into fulfilling our infinite potential. The ones who connect with this part probably are the ones who are the most spiritually motivated
27 and it makes me happy to see all the teens and young 20s in here discoering the Kanye magic. Keep listening, and listen hard. Kanye is and was wise beyond his years.
this is what it feels like when you're coming home from a family vacation and you're in the car and it gets pitch dark and your parents are talking quietly in the front as the only sound to fill the silence. the only light is the taillights of the cars ahead of you on the highway. You think about falling asleep, but the lights, the mood, it's all too beautiful to throw away.
This was the song that was playing when I was on the way to the hospital when I got there I found out my dad had already passed away so this song always makes me feel some type of way and slowed down makes it 🥴
idc what anybody says but the beginning makes me go into another world.
Same here Vanessa 🙂
sameee
the beginning is my favorite part
Omg yes
do you know where it’s from?
this feels like the end credits to life.
Exactly what I was thinking
Couldn’t have said it better
THIS IS SO ACCRUATE
Think about it as the intro credits, the song is about finding your intuition, and dreams.

This single song is worth more than 99% of rappers’ entire discographies.
Jack Frost Bro are you dumb? You mean 99.9%
Darius Savory u know how sampling works?
@@davidz2690 thats not what makes the song great. If the song was just the looped sample no one would give a shit. The genius comes from how Kanye took such a beautiful sample and put in a whole new context. The sample mixed with the synths and bumping drums makes a unique nostalgic but also futuristic vibe. which fits beautifully with the themes of the lyrics - growing up, chasing your dreams, looking at your past and your future. all this together creates a masterpiece of a song. The sample is just one part of what makes the song great.
Edward Lawla nailed it
@@davidz2690 I don't understand how someone can say what u just said after listening to both 'my song' and 'i wonder' lol
I loved graduation as a kid, now that I’m older it’s a love hate relationship because I feel like such a failure. I feel like I’m running out of time to get my shit together
I feel that too. We all feel that way at a certain point in life. Just keep doing your thing, life can be a bitch most of the time, but there are those times that it hits you back with a good surprise.
I feel u my bro , feel like im in the same shoes. In uni now, been here 2 years , actually feel like ive been wasting time just spending my parents money , i work a little but no where near where i wanna be in life. Honestly , graduation is a state of mind, dont be scared to take the big jump. I watch ted talks to inspire myself and i honestly feel like when i actually graduate, after saving up money for 2 years after that , im actually gonna take a jump. Dont be scared. Give it your all
Welp, and writing a comment on the internet isn't going to change that, oof lmfao

There’s a certain sadness to that line. On its face it’s a boast, but it feels like he’s questioning himself. He is by all accounts, a “star”. So why doesn’t it feel good?

I’m high af in bed rn and I just discovered this song. Art. A masterpiece. I’m thinking about a lot of things in my life. About my first heartbreak, those awesome nights with my best friends. About different, and maybe better, choises that I could have made in my life. But you know what? I’m so grateful for everything that happened in my life. It made me the person I am today.

What has happened until this very point in your life that any of you may be reading this, has happened and you can’t change anything about it. The only way is forward. Keep going. Work hard, stay loyal to those who are good to you, stay true to yourself, and keep growing as an individual. Bless all of you.

As a high school student especially when I have English due assignments every month, Physics exams and homeworks(tomorrow I have a physics exam that I didn't study for), many math lessons and assignments that I didn't do, unfinished biology homeworks and about 7 long-ass biology videos that the teacher requested us to watch, I didn't watch them, all of this is making me depressed and overwhelmed and I'm becoming more nihilistic, depressed and doomerstic, I have an addiction as a 15 y.o now, my mom shouts at me for not attending sessions and not studying well, plus now I sleep in the morning and wake up at night, and this song helps me go through these tough times.

@@blaff4904 fax they be like, “ all I’m dreaming about is her” lmao like stfu and enjoy the song😂
I'm eighteen now, about half a year away from hitting nineteen. Ever since I was in diapers, I had my best friend with me. His family would invite me to their Thanksgiving, he would play catch with my dad in the yard, I would finish my calls with his mom with "Bye, I love you!" My mom would call him her son, and his dad would give me life advice. Growing up, I was never confident but always charismatic. I was constantly plagued with home life drama and struggling to be comfortable in my overweight body. He was the complete opposite, full of confidence but none of the charisma. We were the perfect duo. He would pick me up when I was down, take care of me if I was ever sick, and vice versa. I remember one time I fell asleep on his couch at a house party, and I pretended to be asleep to see why he was getting so close to me. Turns out he delicately reached out, took my glasses off and folded them to be put away on the table so they wouldn't be broken.
We shared all the milestones of high school together, laughing our asses off the whole way. When he went through his first heartbreak, I forgave him for all the hilariously stupid things he did because I knew he did it for love, and we would eat ice cream and play sports video games even though I suck at them, just because I know how much it made him laugh to see me try so hard to beat him. We grew from babies to become brothers, and throughout high school, he was the biggest Kanye fan I ever knew. He introduced me to Graduation, Life Of Pablo, and showed me other rappers like Nas and J Cole.
But I could feel something was getting worse in him, and I didn't know how to stop it. I never drank, I heard too many horror stories about what it does to your body. And he didn't either at first, but something in him changed after his heartbreak. He said it was just him having fun, but he was getting hammered much too often. I never juuled, smoked cigarettes or vaped, but I had watched him go from asking for a few hits off a juul a week to complaining to me about how he loses half his paycheck to mango pods. He used to tell me that "he's doing better, he used to rip two pods in a week and now it's only one," but he had given that excuse to me so many times that it was white noise at that point. I got high for the first time with him, and I remember begging him to never leave me because I love him like a brother. I got high once inawhile, he got high almost every night.
We hit junior year, I fell into an abusive relationship and it took some time to get out of it and regrow from the awful experiences it had and guess who was right by my side? You guessed it. End of junior year came, I met the girl who I'm now discussing wedding plans with her father, and my brother didn't take it so well. He said I had replaced him, he said I was "the worst person ever," and then told me that because I never made time for him anymore, he had been dating my abusive ex girlfriend. Things just got worse from there. We stopped talking, we went from seeing each other every day to barely ever catching a glimpse of one another on our friends' social media pages. Now we're in college, I live on the near west side where I hear gunshots and sirens every night. I know he's out in South Carolina somewhere, and I know he's not doing too well.
Jack, I know you barely went on RUclips and you would never watch something like a lo-fi remix of a Kanye song, but I thought here was a better place than most to tell you I still miss you, bud. I never listen to Kanye anymore because I always think of you and me shooting hoops until the sun went down, or the two of us walking to class freshman year trying to solve the mysteries of the universe together in under thirty minutes. I sent you a text on your birthday, I wasn't ever expecting you to respond to it but I like to think you got it since I have no way of knowing. I hope South Carolina's treating you well, I hope your classes are going well too. Thanksgiving's coming up real soon. There's always a seat saved for family, if you ever want to come by. My little sister still asks about you sometimes.
Love you, Alex
P.S. - Remember that song I made up when we were in middle school? "My girlfriend left me cause she was gayyy. I stepped in a puddle now my socks are all soggyyy." I hope you still have that video saved.

This is the feeling of falling asleep on a long car ride passing by a distant city, the feeling of waking up so early on a winter morning that its still dark and falling right back into sweet slumber, the feeling of going on midnight bus rides alone to absolutely nowhere and watching lights and street signs flash by, the feeling of being so tired your eyes wont stay open and every sound blends together into a perfect harmony as you fall asleep, the feeling of faint deja vu listening to old 80's, the feeling of that melancholic nostalgia when you visit an old place. I'd like to imagine this song to be the feeling an astronaut feels, looking back at the earth from far away, looking back at the place youve been your whole life, where all your friends and memories are, where all your greatest achievements took place, where your tiny life started and where it will inevitably end, the feeling of true peace, knowing that everything youve ever known is so miniscule to the scale of everything, truly being alone with your thoughts, processing the utterly unbelievable one of a kind, oddly lonely but soothing feeling. This is truly an amazing feeling.

Right. Listening to this at night, it’s not as inspiring as the regular pitched version (not a bad thing). It’s more introspective and nostalgic feeling to me. Like thinking back on all the things I could have done rather than what I could do in the future.

This song brings tears to my eyes. I remember the constant struggle i endured since 2011. Graduated from college, been fired from job after job. My first boss told me to quit while I’m ahead and that i would make it. Put a huge dent in my ego. Went back and got my MBA two years later to prove her wrong. Then the firings continued. Thought my purpose was to take what was handed to me and not share my imagination to the world. Last summer, my life changed forever. After doing Uber for 3 years straight, bouncing in the most notorious clubs 6 nights a week, 2 kids later...I got an investor for a business idea i been sitting on since 2016 and never looked back. Brought my imagination to life. God is real man. Don’t let anyone tell you that you cant create magic!

Every time I hear this song i feel alive, not happy, but not really sad either. It‘s this feeling that you get watching a sunset or when something really important happens in your life. This song just makes me remember things I’ve never experienced, like a far away memory but It’s not mine. I‘ve always been someone that thinks a lot about the future and what‘s gonna happen next. I’m always worried about my future instead of just living my life and enjoying it.I find it really difficult to stay in the present sometimes and I feel like I‘m missing out on life. When I listen to this song, everything feels so real, but so beautiful too. It just makes me wanna quit everything and live life like there is no tomorrow. Crazy how it affects me so much. I hope one day I‘ll stop wondering.
stop wondering and DO IT. Imagine your best self and show up as him.
Wow I felt this REAL hard reading this man. 100% on the same page. I’ve tried it all and idk what do do. I think it’s just time to finally let go of everything and take a leap of faith and say F U C K I T and enjoy life!!!!

I thought I was gonna be a collegiate athlete and my dream collapsed with a broken hip, I thought I was gonna get into my dream school but it wasn’t meant to be. All these trials you all are facing will end the way they’re meant to. I don’t know whether my journey with athletics is over and you don’t know what the future holds. So as I go and enjoy my last day tomorrow, I hope you all enjoy the process and enjoy the good and bad all the memories which they form because at the end of the day the moments in the chaos are what make life beautiful.
Congratulations on your graduation. The world is yours.
fr man.
How’s it going
Whats it like nowadays bro
“you can still be who you wish you is, it ain’t happen yet and that’s where the tuition is.” this line hits me so deep.
for some reason, social media and society makes all of us believe that we have to be successful by a certain age. like we all have to have our entire life planned out by the time you graduate high school. truth is, it’s okay to not have everything planned out. it’s okay to not have all your shit together. stop comparing your life to others on social media. there’s no age limit to chase your dreams. stop worrying that you’ll be a failure if you’re not this or that by 25. no ones perfect. just take time find your dream and once you do, chase it to the very end.
Best line of the song
The crazy part about humpty dumpty is that they never said he was a egg....let that sink in
YOOOOOOOo
bro...
wait
Chill music video thoughts
no wonder they couldn’t put him back together...
Don’t give up, never give up.
The song that reminds me of the summer of 2023🥲
"I can't change the World but I can change myself and hope the World changes with me"
- Me

105 Likes??? 0_0 Damn I appreciate ya'll
reading these comments make me feel like i should keep pushing because it could be way worse. so im gonna keep going
Facts bro
Glad I wasn't the only one feeling super emotional over this song
This song reminds me of when I used to get home from school, and just play legos with my brothers. I am crying right now, this is incredible. Thank everyone who I have met in my life who has helped me get to this point. I love you all.
But why does this sound like Cudi lol
You ever wonder what it all really mean? You ever wonder if you'll find your dreams?
heat
Yo. How did I find THE randomfrankp in a random video's comment section.
lmao i didn't expect frank to be here
I kinda see what you mean, but I still just hear a slowed down Kanye.
“Do you even remember what the issue is? You just tryna find where the tissue is...” that shit hurt man :( so relatable
Honestly man Kanye is so unique these kinda songs hit so different, people are gonna realize how much of a impact on music he had once he passes tbh
Don’t even think that right now.
POV: it’s 2023, summer is about to start, you’re hyped for the new spider verse movie, grimace shake trend was happening, Fortnite had a banger season, nick eh 30 never back down meme, Fortnite only up…
Nostalgia hits hard😔
I’m a simple man, I see Kanye I click
Guccitello You a basic ass simp too
Yo my recommenced just blessed me too
@@solitary2 says the one with a fantasy girl as his profile picture
@@Sosa081 oooo good shit
I feel you but are you honey dipping me?
I was 17 when this came out, listening to it now makes me very sad, wasted 10 years of my life and I'm still trying to make my dreams come true, but I'm still trying, to all the kids out there don't make the same mistake I made, if you have something that you love to do, stick to it .... 🙏🙏
@Andrew Bae hell yeah
I wasted 3 years of my life, stopped working on my dreams and hustling and started partying and drinking every other day. Im back on track as of 3 months ago and it kills me inside all the things i could have accomplished in those three years. I can only imagine wasting 10 years,
“You can still be who you wish you is”
@Lipe King I wasted 10 years of slacking off, doing drugs and nonstop partying, until I found out what really moves me, now that ive found my true passion I can only start anew
You wrote this a while ago. Hope your doing great now, if not it’s know this is just a small chunk of your life and it is never too late. You have so much of your life left. Have a great day
This has been said time and time again but the beat alone is better than some artists’ entire discographies
Neri really is an amazing beat
Kanye is a amazing producer
i may only be 13 but this motivates me to continue my studies and to become a successful engineer when i age. This song makes me want to power through my life and make it and thrive.
Yes sir best of luck to you ❤️ you are special no matter what .... love you God bless ❤️💯
Goodlluck bro….you can do whatever you want to do in life
@@jeremytjames nah bruh he gotta become special, not yet.
The older you get the more you realize how the world really is. Things seem clearer, best of luck lil man
I love you mate. Go thrive ❤️
Crazy that i loved this song in 7th grade and still love it as a senior in college
spencert21 it’s a true classic
2:57 don’t know why but this part makes me really emotional
damn third person I found other than me to connect with this part of the song. I'm sure is the no-beat and frequency played along with the specific lyrics. Intentionally curated to motivate us into fulfilling our infinite potential. The ones who connect with this part probably are the ones who are the most spiritually motivated
Love is something you can’t fully comprehend until you lose it.
2:54 The hopefulness in this is something else
At the end of the song I was ready for “LIKE WE ALWAYS DO AT THIS TIME..”
27 and it makes me happy to see all the teens and young 20s in here discoering the Kanye magic. Keep listening, and listen hard. Kanye is and was wise beyond his years.
this is what it feels like when you're coming home from a family vacation and you're in the car and it gets pitch dark and your parents are talking quietly in the front as the only sound to fill the silence. the only light is the taillights of the cars ahead of you on the highway. You think about falling asleep, but the lights, the mood, it's all too beautiful to throw away.
This song + GTA V + Night = *PERFECTION*
2:55 I felt that in my soul
Same! More power to you my friend
Well now I want Rick Ross to do a cover for all of Kanye’s discography for some reason
i was listening trying to think who this made Kanye sound like... ross is probs the closest haha
OMG YES
Devil in a new dress is what it would sound like🔥
James MacDonald kid cudi
This was the song that was playing when I was on the way to the hospital when I got there I found out my dad had already passed away so this song always makes me feel some type of way and slowed down makes it 🥴
Natalia Rincon stay strong! 🖤 The strongest ones have to overcome the hardest obstacles.
🙏
I Wonder + Slowed = Perfeição
