Father God, please watch over this soul. Preserve them, strengthen them, make them a warrior of your Word. This I pray in the name of your son Jesus Christ. Amen.
My dad was a super huge hater of hip hop. I showed him this song. He told me this was his favorite song he’s ever heard. 6 months later he committed suicide. My mom doesn’t like hip hop either, but I told her our discussions. And I played this at his funeral. I can hardly even listen to this song anymore.
"Did she finally come to life?" is so heartbreaking. As if he's asking if this album, this whole experience managed to actually bring Donda back to life :'((
My girlfriend and I broke up yesterday. When I left her house, I saw that DONDA was finally here, and for no reason, I pressed play on this one... and believe me when I say that I was hurt so bad, crying so loud, I felt this piano notes running in my veins... it helped me put my pain out. Thanks Kanye for that, this is emotions, this is Music.
This is not an album. This is not just music. It transended. This is a cinematic experience. This an art piece. Thank you Son of Donda, Kanye. R.I.P Donda
seriously felt that, losing a loved one feels exactly like this, you only really regret being mean to them sometimes when you finally realize holy shit, theyre actually gone
@@_tellavision drake the type of guy to have fans that say "I misread his comment actually, thought it read " discography" for some reason. At the end of the day we're all human and we're all susceptible to error. According to your choice of words, it does seem like you're under the impression that you're perfect ?"
@@sqnick9254 I think the beauty of this song that the living force behind it isn’t necessarily religion god or jesus, but anything that brings the rawest and most sincere expression of passion, be it the way u experience
Lyrics: [Intro] My soul cries out Hallelujah and I thank God for saving me I thank God for... [Chorus] Here go all your problems again (I thank God) Three, two, one, you're pinned (I thank God) Uncle now he back in the pen' (Hallelujah) Auntie shut down again Did she finally come to life? (Thank you, Jesus) Ever wish you had another life? Ever wish you had another life? Ever wish you had another life? [Verse 1] Don't you wish the night would go numb? I've been feelin' low for so long I ain't had a high in so long I been in the dark for so long Night is always darkest 'fore the dawn Gotta make my mark 'fore I'm gone I don't wanna die alone I don't wanna die alone I get mad when she gone Mad when she home Sad when she gone Mad when she home Sad when she gone (Loosen right now, the spirit that wants to run) Floatin' on a silver lining (In the name of Jesus) Yeah, you know where to find me, ridin' on a silver lining And my God won't deny me, tell the Devil, "Get behind me" All the stars are aligned, lift me up every time You know exactly where to find me [Interlude] Hallelujah (Thank you, Jesus) Hallelujah (Yes) Hallelujah... [Pre-Chorus] Did those ideas ever really come to life? Make it all come to life Make it all come to life Prayin' for a change in your life Well, maybe it's gon' come tonight [Chorus] Sadness settin' in again Three, two, one, you're pinned Uncle right back in the pen' Tell me how auntie been Took your thoughts and penciled 'em in Should've wrote 'em down in pen And maybe they'll come to life And maybe they'll come to life Sadness settin' in again Three, two, one, you're pinned Uncle right back to the pen' Tell me how auntie been Thoughts, you had penciled 'em in Probably should've wrote 'em in pen And maybe they'll come to life They could finally come to life They could finally come to life [Verse 2] You know where to find me, they cannot define me So they crucify me, how so fazed when I leave? Come and purify me, come and sanctify me You the air that I breathe, the ultra-ultralight beam Brought a gift to Northie, all she want was Nikes This is not about me, God is still alive, so I'm free Floatin' on a silver lining, floatin' on a silver lining So when I'm free, I'm free
A lot of people don’t realize it yet, but this is truly one of Kanye’s best songs. Probably because this song doesn’t have much rap elements in it, though neither does Runway and that’s also one of his fan favorites. It’s the narrative peak of the album. Kanye cements his identity in his relationship with God and let’s go of his anxiety/worries and his pride. Don’t be distracted by the fact that there’s not much rap, this is an incredible song.
Bro is DIFFERENT 😭😭 everybody else sound the same then boom here come Kanye. As an artist no one’s close to this dude’s creativity. His albums all sound different but u know it’s Kanye when u hear it. He’s so unique it’s crazy. 1 of 1.

truly this is actually insane - the background female singing beginning around 1.20 creates the most wonderful texture , likes shes singing all the way from heaven
This song had me literally sobbing like I was 8 again. Music can be literal therapy to some of us. This songs touched me in ways I’ve never felt before. God is real and he is great.
ay i felt this. even though this song doesnt inspire the same reaction for me but others have. i aint even religious but i agree music is a gift from god.
This song had me crying, man I wish the second half of the album was it’s own project because this and Jesus Lord are in a league of their own. This is defo the Runaway of the Donda, it’s soo moving.
I watched Kanye’s journey from college drop out to now, and shit had me emotional. The music connected differently for me. It’s both the growth, the deeper meaning, the context of what it’s actually about and the tone. If you ain’t invested in the artists life like that, then you probably won’t understand. This song is a lifetimes work leading up to it.
"did those ideas ever really come to life? make it all come to life" is such a motivating thing to hear as a creative person. it's never too late to pursue the aspirations you have in life. anything can come to life if you believe in yourself enough and never give up. this to me is one of kanye's best songs ever
The burning of his house and then leaving it… it’s like his mother’s death is the creative spark that, while burning him, forced him step out of his comfort zone and continue to move forward as an artist/human being. It still hurts, and as Pink Floyd once said, “the flames are all long gone, but the pain lingers on”. We can’t ever change what happens to us, but we can change what the events mean for us. Donda is not a return to the past to feebly grasp at what he once had; it’s an acceptance of what happened, what it did to him, and as a path for moving forward. Through pain we find transformation. Just like the last line tells us;“I’m free”. It’s such a cathartic track. It’s easily up there with Runaway and Ultralight Beam
Didn't believe I would ever say this, but some of the latest tracks of Kanye really sound like genius masterpieces, straight from the heart to the mind. Only the real ones can create songs like these...
Same. Something about it is just so comforting. It’s Kanye being as relatable as ever, despite being as popular as ever, if that makes sense. From the soul 🤞
@Ames Smith that maybe what kanye thought in this past but Jik and this album prove his thoughts have changed he understands hes the son of the one True God
@Ames Smith you have to first get rid of an organized religion. The religion God wants and the religion man wants are 2 vastly different things. (James 1:27 Pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father is this, To visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep himself unspotted from the world.) second, religion and spirituality go hand and hand mind you in talking about The type of religion God wants. people will say there are no rules to spirituality that’s false. There are rules, principles and forces of power that are way more knowledgeable then us. Third Calling yourself a god is only giving yourself a false reality. Pride leads only to downfall, your only leaving yourself susceptible to evil entities. not all things spiritual are Godly the world of spirituality is very dangerous telling people to just get into spirituality without any foreknowledge can be detrimental and can drive people crazy Lastly why would I take your word as if you know Kanye. His last 2 albums and the past couple of years he’s dedicated his life to the Lord. he’s fell short at moments no doubt but saying he still believes he himself is God is denying everything he’s done in the past couple years anyways all love and blessing
The relationship he had with his mother was something I have never seen before especially on the documentary. He never interrupted her, he never spoke over her, he took it all in and his mother would say his name a lot which is an excellent form of communication it releases dopamine and the other feel good chemicals in the brain. This burst of excitement makes people happy and sends unconscious signals such as empathy, trust, and compassion to the unconscious brain. They were so comfortable around each other she knew all of his lyrics. Music can be so deep and it's the ultimate form of expression and he didn't feel judged by Donda and she got to know him on a completely different level which is so rare it would be like letting your parents read your journal or your deep and meaningful conversations on social media. He didn't feel judged by her and she loved them all, Donda is his number one fan! When one of them started to smile the other would contagiously. They would rap together and it was pure sunshine and happiness Hey Mama in the kitchen. I get the feeling his mother was beautiful inside and out. This special and vital relationship was just ripped away he still needed her. He will never get over it and my dad died last year we were good friends, played Chess together. So I feel for him so much. I am glad he is still gifting us with his stunning music. I really hope that one day he will get his pure sunshine smile back
"You took your thoughts and penciled them in... shoulda wrote them down in pen and maybe they'll come to life." -Ye Your life isn't changing because you're always making temporary plans that can be easily erased and changed (pencil) but if you take solid, concrete steps towards your vision (pen) then the change you seek will come to life.
“Wrote them in pen an maybe they’ll come to life.” When he writes his verses he does it in pen and he’s literally writing his thoughts and then marking it into this song
When he says “Did those ideas ever really come to life?” He’s talking about everyone’s dreams and hopes , then he said “Make it all come to life “ Edit : thanks y’all for the likes
Thank you Kanye. Im writing this as I listen to the song. One of my child hood best friends died from covid complications the same day Donda drop. Im processing with this song. Instead of been angry that I lost him, I thank God for giving Me the opportunity to experience the power and Love of real friend ship that he created with my friend . Im healing with this song. Ill come back to life with more luv and Power. I serve the Lord. I have Luved your art since im 14. Im 32 now. Thank you Kanye.
The past two months have been the toughest time of my life, my family was broken and I felt the tension beetween the four of us. Plus, i was really stressed because i had to study for a university admission test and in the middle of that mess it was really difficult to concentrate. In the morning, a couple of hours before the test, while I was in my car I just listened to this song while witnessing the sunrise. Felt magical and every doubt in my mind was gone. Thanks Kanye
This song had me going..almost cried man. He sings about 2 things on that song that I think can resonate with anyone: 1) Wishing you had “another life”, or that you’re so upset with your current circumstances that you’re in a downward spiral 2) Writing down your dreams, literally, and that the power of journaling your dreams in combination with prayer will help escalate your life. The beautiful part about the song is that topic 1 transitions into topic 2 with that heavenly piano shift, making the song more climactic. Really amazing tune
you should write a book about how you managed not to cry, listened to this like 100 times now and ive cried everytime, i even cry when just thinking of the lyrics
This track made me cry, and I really needed it though I didn't realize. This past year's been so many things just piling on and on and now I'm like 'of course bruh wtf were you thinking'
This is easily one of the greatest songs I have ever listened to in my life. Not only is the production just phenomenal, but the lyrics and the whole message of this song is so good. Being a Christian myself this song makes me want to focus less on the problematic material sides of my life and get a closer relationship with God. I can’t put into words how much this song means to me.
I love the idea that everyone on his album spoke about the Most High. They had to tap into their spiritual side, their creativity. They had to humble themselves. It’s beautiful to hear some of the toughest take a knee. 🤍
To me this song feels different than other sad songs. Others are for when you're sad and ready to fight on. This is when you finally accept your sadness, and come to peace. You don't know if you'll ever be as happy as you were in the past. But you no longer struggle
When reading the comments on Donda songs its clear to see people are moved. They are touched by his words, sounds and creativity as a whole. While I like drake, Im loving this Kanye. I thought I was gunna vibe to CLB better but Donda blew me away. I don't feel its fair to compare the albums. They're coming from different places. Big respect to everyone that worked on this album. Beautiful 🌹
Ye is. All everything that I seen or read about Western society. I am not a dying fan but all I am saying is that the dude will be remembered for centuries like Mozart.
Kayne’s relationship with the Living God, Jesus Christ, is what makes this song exist and have beauty. The fear of death and dying along, desperation for another life other than our own, and all of the relatable human heart cries he touches upon in this song come from his own heart’s struggles. He cried out to God to save him from the self-destructiveness of himself/his thoughts+actions and He was faithful to do so . . . because Jesus lives! He was crucified and shed His holy, sinless blood for us in order to deliver us with His blood from our spiritual deadness-deriving from the power of sin in this earth realm and to rescue us from the shame, pain, trauma, torment, confusion, and unforgiveness sin has caused in the human heart worldwide . . . then He rose from the dead and ascended into heaven. Seek Him out, inquire into who He is truly is. I used to be an atheist and viewed Jesus as some run of the mill religious figure/fairy tale character, but, my friends, little by little, I sought Him out, I knocked, I asked, I read and listened to His words in the New Testament for myself and let them change me and plant in me a seed of FAITH that blossomed into belief in Him and a turning away from the sinful behaviors, patterns, and thoughts I had operated in and turning towards Him and His perfect love/will. He promises if we believe in Him and turn from our sins that He will give us His Holy Spirit to guide us and a renewed heart and mind. You will experience the resurrection life personally as Kayne West personally did too and subsequently was able to express his new life found in Jesus Christ through this song. I testify too! Once dead but now I live 🎵
I truly loved this comment, along with this beautiful song and testimony of the presence of Jesus Christ in our lives. I felt and still feel saved by his mercy!
Thank you Kanye for making gospel cool, thank you for finding the way to talk to the new generation about God! Thank you for helping me to get closer to God! I'm glad you came back to God! God bless you
This feels oddly posthumous. Definitely experiencing Kanye as spiritually raw and sublime as we ever have, and I feel privileged to even get to experience it. We can just google and experience this type of material, insane.
you're right, you kinda nailed it right there. This feels like the song Kanye would leave buried in his unreleased and then after his death it comes out, and everyone rallies behind it. Kinda like Free as a Bird for John Lennon
@@Mykekelli this album feels like a sequel to 808’s to me at least the slow songs do its like on 808’s hes so broken and trying to get through it and this is after hes finally found a solution to his sadness through jesus
