Kanye West - I Wonder (Extended Intro) 

The extended intro makes the other verses hit so much harder. 100/10

"this is my song, and no one can take it away" Kanye:

Possibly one of the greatest samples in rap history

The piano chord at “to find your dreams come true” is the most emotional shit ever 😔

I've slept on Kanye for so long, never gave him a chance He's a musical genius A pioneer and legend in hip hop

he made graduation. he made graduation. he made graduation. he made graduation. he made graduation.

One of his greatest songs and madly underrated

This is so subtle, Kanye talks about how some people waste they're life on bad decisions, instead of following your dreams and finding real happiness. He uses the example of a career woman, she's independent but that didn't bring her happiness, he talks about how she would trade her current life for a husband and some kids. What did her career really mean if it didn't bring her happiness? Where is life's meaning if we continue to choose things that make us unhappy? "You ever wonder if you'll find yo dreams?" We can all take steps to improve our life's, and at the end of the day, what's the point of living if we're perpetually unhappy?

“Do you even remember what the issue is? You just tryna find where the tissue is. You can still be who you wish you is. It ain’t happened yet, and thats what intuition is.” seriously some of the most motivating words ive ever heard

This is one of those songs that elevates you to a higher level, just to drop you off on your own.

The whole Graduation album is a banger.

I lost my brother a few years ago. He introduced me to Kanye. I remember watching him purchase this album at a store. We would sit down and talk about how Kanye is an amazing artist with the mind of a unique individual. To this day this album will always be my favorite album of all time! This was was my big brothers favorite. Still have that CD in a safe.

I’ve heard this sound hundreds of time, first time hearing the extended version. Only makes it better.

This was my best friend's favorite song from Kanye. He would just play that song on repeat and I wouldn't have any problem with it because it was also one of my favorites. He passed away last December due to cancer, and he was closer to me than my actual siblings. EDIT: Thank you to everyone's responses. I'm doing the best I can currently. My wife and my kids have been keeping my spirits up nowadays.

The extended intro is beautiful and then the transition into the beat... I've been waiting on this my whole LIFE!!!!!!!!

Man if I'm being honest. I'm lost in life. I don't know how I want it to go. And I don't really want to live either, but everytime I turn on this song It brings joy. This was the first kanye song I listened to during my depression. Whenever I hear this song it makes me forget about everything. I feel like I can relax. I use this as an escape. This song is truely a musical master peice. Thank you kanye. Edit: I've been doing so much better now. Thank you all for the kind words. I'm still not certain how life will go. But I'm certain it'll be worth living to find out. I'm serious, thank you guys.

'i'm a star how could i not shine' ain't nobody was being this vulnerable in rap at the time in the mainstream but kanye. one of his best tracks, and there's plenty of em

3:21 gives me chills everytime. What a legend

3:19 always gives me goosebumps

this song makes me wanna chase my dreams

This album is a classic at this point. I can't believe it's almost 15 years old.

This song makes me feel some emotions I can’t explain and also motivates me

I just got a job as a special education teacher it's been my dream since I was a kid now it's time to inspire the youth this song got me through dark times working shit jobs that didn't value me and paid me like crap thank you Mr West

3:20 that shift right there is just beautiful 🔥

If you are a fan of Kanye, you are a fan of yourself

Mane I want to cry when I hear this song

I just turned 20 years old. Man, I really didn’t expect to make it to 20, with all the shit that goes through my mind and the way I’ve been feeling these past few years, but here I am. I know Kanye has destroyed his reputation, but I look back on his older stuff and remind myself that I can do it. I’m thankful for my life and being able to experience happiness as well as pain.

Listening to this at the Peruvian airport, after I just spent 11 days hiking all over the Andes seeing humantay lake and Machu Picchu, what a vibe, my dream trip came alive

The beginning is everything. Warms my heart. Like Kayne, I’m missing my mom and have been lost since losing her. It sounds like she said to me and my sister...... Missing you Anna

I am a 23 year old man from South Sudan, I have spent most of my life in a continuous war, it was a normal day 2 weeks ago as I was fighting. Then, the Sudanese fighters played this absolute masterpiece, we then began to all put down our guns and dance to this lyrical masterpiece. Thank you, sir. For Peace this song changed my life. My entire view of everything that exists in this world, in fact, even in the entire universe. I can never look at anything I know the same way again. This song represents emotions that most humans could never understand. But I can. Thanks to this song I was awakened to many things previously considered unimaginable. Thank you for this exquisite song. This video is an exquisite masterpiece, out of every single video I have ever even heard of on the entire platform, this by far has enlightened me to do fly, lose 90 pounds and even become the president of the United States, and I'm going to tell you why this is such a masterpiece as if hearing the creators, no, god of this universes luscious voice. I would like to express my thanks to you. My gratitude for your indisputably magnificent assistance is almost infinite. Your efforts have not gone unnoticed. I really like your contribution that you have in our society, you really make a difference and help others out, the world could always use more people like you. Gosh, what a polite and humble fellow. It is such a kind honor for someone as low as me to be in contact with someone of a level such as yours. I thank you once again my good friend. A world without you, would be a world I would not be able to live in, and I believe I share that opinion with most people. I can rest easy tonight knowing you helped. I appreciate you and everything you stand for and on behalf of everyone on planet earth, thanks. Yes I 100% agree no lie I am 10/10 with you in this statement no question. You are completely absolutely correct and have made no mistake in your sentence whatsoever and I applaud you for that as you have made a thoughtful statement that many agree with and those that disagree are in the minority because your statement has absolutely no faults and thus is completely without a question correct and deserves nothing but agreement. and by the way, super saiyan blue theme is a very powerful, moving song that showcased the capabilities of human emotion. It used groundbreaking technology to create stunning sounds that would mesmerize the listeners. This song is suitable for all ages; whether you're 5 years old, or 50, you should listen to this song. It is inspiring and it showcases the spectrum of human nature and how humans communicate with each other. This song revolutionized the music industry and set the bar high for other songs. In the future historians will look back on this song and regard it as the pinnacle of human achievement. It was a roller-coaster from start to finish, the nail-biting song will leave you on the edge of your seat from start to finish. Listeners will find themselves absorbed by the heartwarming tale of a relentless, determined African tribes who didn't let societies standards shape his/her/it's life. I was shocked by how intense and gripping this song was. The plot is rich, unpredictable and touching. This isn't your typical African war song, this song is a war with one's emotions. Tales of Africa is a stirring masterpiece that only comes once in a millennium. This thrilling instruments makes it a jaw-dropping performance that properly utilizes the medium. I rate this song 10 African tribes/10 African tribes, and will never listen to it again as every time I get saddened by the the fact that there will never be a song to match this masterpiece.

wavyy extended intro bruh I rate it

The Graduation Era is one for the ages! This song is just a segment of how truly stupendous this body of work is and what Kanye can do when he puts his heart and soul into a project.

Just got my first job and I’m nervous but also extremely excited because now my life is actually moving along instead of spectating others, this song really does make me think of my life, what it all really means and whether I’ll ever find my dreams, thank you Kanye for this masterpiece.

Ugh this is so good. Like, omg. I felt everything he sang

This is one of those songs that take away the pain as soon as you hear it.

Never fails to give me chills. This album as a whole, Graduation (2007) has been a real gift. It uplifts my mood during times of stress or adversities. I miss the old Kanye so much.

the 3rd verse is the best verse ive ever heard in rap history

One of the best, most inspirational songs ever created in the modern era. The song is a perfect representation for finding happiness. Especially when he talks about the career woman who would trade it all for a husband and some kids because her career didn't bring her happiness.

Music captures moments in time. This album will always capture one of the best moments of my life.

This song makes me so sad but not in a bad way. It just brings me emotions I’ve never felt before and it’s just brings back good memories. Takes me back to when my girlfriend and I went on our first date and it plays in my head like a movie. We went to go grab some pizza, then some ice cream, afterwards we went to a rose garden where I told her how she made me feel then to top it off we went to a drive in where we watched a really corny movie and we just sat there and made fun of it. Ugh if I could just relive this day it would be so amazing 🥲

This song will always be a top 2 favorite of mine by Kanye... I can’t explain it at all but when I hear it, it’s like it hits a certain part and my body where I genuinely feels like can do anything especially working out I don’t feel anything I just feel the need to run faster or lift more or just be great in general same goes for “power” it just hits a specific spot in my body where I’m more focused than I’ve ever been

Hits so different when you chasing your dreams.

This and Flashing Lights are some amongst some of the most top tier of hip hop songs.

I just wanna say this has always been in my personal top 3 by him. I bought this album the day it came out and it has always been one of my favorite songs ever. And my friend. You’ve taken this song and somehow made it even better. I’ve listened to this song multiple times a day ever since you uploaded it. Thank you 🙏

I'm not ashamed to say I cry listening to this. Not because I'm sad it just drives me to want to achieve more than I ever could and I want others to do the same. Its hard when I see people struggling. No need for that although we can't get peace without it. Some struggle alot more than others. Never let the struggles bring you down though the hardships lead to greatness!:)

2007 was the year that i was a freshman in high school. this album was my one of my top favorites of that year. thank you Ye for this masterpiece. so many good memories 🤷🏽‍♂️💯🐐😢

This song motivates me like crazy and i hope it does for everyone else as well. God bless kanye

This song is genuinely a holy grail of the music entirely. This song will be looked on from 100s of years from now like how people look at the work of Mozart, Beethoven, and the rest of the music geniuses of that era.

I’ve been waiting on this my whole life.🤘🏽

Update: Thank you for all the views and for sharing your experiences with this song in the comments. It's super heartwarming and I'm very grateful.

Bro Kanye’s music is aging like wine man, I still listen to his music like it came out this year. Love it man, so inspirational!

Over a decade later and this song is still fire.

0:15 “this is my song …….and no one could take it away” Kanye west:”I’ll make it better don’t worry”

It’s something about that last verse man. The synths following the strings, Kanye talking about becoming greater than even he thought possible. I feel like we can all resonate to this moment.

Jesus Christ how have I never listened to this version, it's so much better.

i feel like my life is changing a lot right now and i can't tell if i'm happy or sad but this song kinda just hits the spot i already know that in the future i'll be listening to this song with memories coming back from this point in my life

Lyrics: Find your dreams come true And I wonder if you know What it means, what it means And I wonder if you know What it means, what it means And I wonder if you know What it means to find your dreams I've been waiting on this my whole life These dreams be waking me up at night You say I think I'm never wrong You know what, maybe you're right, aight And I wonder if you know What it means, what it means And I wonder if you know What it means to find your dreams You say he get on your fucking nerves You hope that he get what he deserves, word Do you even remember what the issue is You just trying to find where the tissue is You can still be who you wish you is It ain't happen yet And that's what the intuition is When you hop back in the car Drive back to the crib Run back to their arms The smokescreens The chokes and the screams You ever wonder what it all really mean And I wonder if you know What it means, what it means And I wonder if you know What it means to find your dreams And I'm back on my grind A psychic read my lifeline Told me in my lifetime My name would help light up the Chicago skyline And that's what I'm Seven O'clock, that's primetime Heaven'll watch, God calling from the hotlines Why he keep giving me hot lines I'm a star, how could I not shine How many ladies in the house How many ladies in the house without a spouse Something in your blouse got me feeling so aroused What you about On that independent shit Trade it all for a husband and some kids You ever wonder what it all really mean You ever wonder if you'll find your dreams

One of the greatest albums of all time I been listening to this since I was 13. I’m 25 now .. the nostalgia almost brings a tear to my eyes. Kanye the goat

It’s just so ironic how he said in the sample that “this is my song, nobody can take it away” and Ye took it over lol

Listening to this after passing the entrance exam of my dream school along with my first course. It hits so hard I’m genuinely cryig

The original version hit at a big changing time in my life, this extended version hits again and reminds me of being strong and moving forward progressively. Thank u

Kanye performing this at the #FREELARRYHOOVER concert was everything & more man .... True legend.

As a kid I loved this song and now as an adult who understands music and music theory. I’ve learned to appreciate it on a whole different level

Dis one of the greatest songs ever

Listened to this in my cancer screening session. I’m hoping that everything will be okay

Bro this was the only song I listened to in 8th grade graduation last year June 2023, now it’s July 2024 and I’m going in 10th grade. I miss those times man

this song alone motivates me to achieve my dreams fr fr

Kanye is the fucking goat lyrical genius always ahead of his time 🐐

I just tear up and become filled with joy whenever I hear this song.

This was my ex and I first kiss song. But now. Now it’s my journey,s own song. When I accomplish my sucess and travel my path…I will get to the top. And I will play this song, to remind myself I did it.

My all-time favorite Ye track. Graduation is so dope.

trynna figure out myself like any other human till high school I found dance. comin from a small town and an asian background I started chasing a dream to someday do something with it... everyone continued to always doubt me but tomorrow night I perform as a NBA dancer and I still feel like the kid who'd just be grinding at practice to sometimes second guessing myself if I'm doin the right thing for my future but ultimately my heart still wanted to continue regardless if I wouldn't ever make a dime.. all the people I grew up with in school etc. all have families, careers, make tons of money, etc. and I am here working dead end jobs listening to this song and just yearning for something someday.... now I'm 26 and I get a check for it. I can proudly say we've made it but we're not done yet. this song got me here and I just wanted to share.

Love this song so much. Not even a Kanye fan but this song is just incredible, makes me feel so motivated.

This is one of those songs no matter how many times you’ve listened it just never gets old I love this song with all I got I have visions to this song about success

Kanye’s songs makes life so much better

2:40 This bit nearly made me cry. That intuition line is so hopeful:)

This whole song inspires me, but the line “these dreams be waking me up at night” in particular resonates with me. I always interpreted this line as Kanye’s larger than life aspirations and goals (his dreams) kept him up at night, because he felt he couldn’t rest until he achieved them. That’s exactly how I feel at times. Far too often I’m kept up at night because I’m so driven to accomplish all of my goals, but I feel like they’re so far out of reach. That’s why I love Kanye’s music so much though , he encourages you to never give up on your dreams and to believe in yourself.

Summer of 2023 with this banger>>>>>

Man Kanye can capture a mood. I have a certain pool of imagery that comes to mind when I hear a Kanye album.

I remember walking to school listening to this song in 2007. I was a freshman in H.S going to school in SoHo. I was a just a little brooklyn boy with big dreams and this song use to take my imagination to another dimension. I love you Kanye

The song being incredible and original, hitting the perfect note in my brain: Kanye:

cried

This song makes me euphoric 💛 Ive listened to this album so many times since childhood. Long live Kanye 💛

"Heaven'll watch, God calling from the hotlines Why he keep giving me hot lines I'm a star, how could I not shine? These lyrics I've remembered since the day I heard this song 14 years ago.

You guys are going to miss Kanye when he's gone. Give the man his flowers now.

This song mean a lot to me. It makes me move forward and not giving up. I wake up everyday listening to this song and I never get tired of it. It makes me want to follow my dreams and not caring about what others may think about my decisions in life.

“This is is my song, and no one can take it away, it’s been so long, but now your here, here to stay” 🔥

Listening to this song fully for the first time in my 24 years of life and I am satisfied with emotions and ambition. I believe

On 9/16/, 2007 I remember I was driving on the 60 freeway with a friend of mine listening to this song we were both going through it because our ladies broke up with us and we were listening to this song and all I remember was my friend was driving his Honda S 2000 and he was cranking into 75 mph to 150 like fully loaded hearing the song a bass greatest memories of my fucking life ,We love you Kanye we know what's up ✊🏽🖤

i remember when my brother came back from a student exchange program in the us(we live in a Eastern Europe country) and he gave me this and late registration album. he always told me to pursue the dreams. Its been long 10 years without seeing you big brother, but indeed you making your dreams come true.

I was just a freshman when this dropped, everyone in my school wearing those Kanye glasses with the tour shirts from the night before, little did we know this would go on to be such a masterpiece, now im 32 living life to the fullest man how time flies.

He made graduation He made graduation He made graduation He made graduation He made graduation He made graduation He made graduation He made graduation He made graduation He made graduation He made graduation He made graduation

Ye, ur a GENIUS! WE ROCK W U.

Imo this is one of the greatest songs of all time 💯

After all these years I still wish you the best my man. He knew his destiny and made it a reality by trials and tribulation. One of the great role models with an actual head on his shoulders 🙏

Possibly one of the greatest Kanye's remix ever

Just finished my last semester and graduating next year. This album has a special place in my heart.

This gives me chills

Suddenly this is blowing up again I love this

My all time favourite kanye song so this is easily one of the best things I've heard in my life
