Kanye West - Pinocchio Story [2015 Hollywood Bowl] [HQ] 

“I see myself on the TV and see nothing…” comes from when Donda his mother told him “when the giant looks at himself in the mirror he sees nothing” I had chills

Pinocchio story is simply one of my favorite Kanye west songs ever. A living breathing song that changes as time goes on.🐐

This version is great and sounds better than the clips of the the performance but the visuals of Ye in that puppet outfit and trying to tread so carefully makes it 10x better

Kanye could've released this song tomorrow, and it would still be relevant to his life, which, considering this song is around 13 years old, is kind of sad.

Thank you so much, this has the be the clearest version to ever exist

In a time where everyone saw autotune was fake, Kanye used it to make one of the realest songs ever

I love how he used the piano melody from heartless

My god why was I sleeping on this MASTERPIECE of a Song. Kanye is the Best of our Generation nobody can change my opinion.

Kanye’s the greatest artist of all time not just rapper

8:14 gives me goosebumps every damn time

this song made me cry 3+ times. this is such a masterpiece in storytelling and should be praised more.

If anybody ever forgets or questions Kanye’s genius, they should comeback to this song

The inclusion of the piano fragments of "Heartless" is absolutely brilliant. Fame really is a Jezebel.

This is literally so beautiful I can’t get over it. For me it’s on par with come to life runaway and ghost town

Wish this version was on spotify

Wise man say, wise man say Wise man say Do you think I sacrificed, real life For all the fame, and flashing lights Do you think I sacrificed, a real life For all the fame, and flashing lights There is no Gucci I can buy There is no Louis Vuitton to put on There is no Y.S.L. that they could sell And take my mind, out of this jail And my heart, out of this hell There are no clothes that I could buy That could turn, back in time There is no vacation spot I could fly That could bring back, a piece of real life Real life, I ask you tonight What does it feel like, What does it feel like I ask you tonight, What does it feel like To live a real life I just wanna be a real boy Pinocchio's story goes, to be a real boy Pinocchio's story goes, to be a real boy I just wanna be a real boy The funny thing is Pinocchio, lied, and that's what kept him from it I tell the truth, and I keep running It's like I'm looking out there, tryna find something I looked on the TV, and I see me, and see nothing So what does it feel like, to live real life, to be real Not some facade that no one can really feel Do you really have the stamina? For everybody that sees you that say, "Wait a second, where's my camera?" For everybody that sees you to say, "Can you sign an autograph?" For everybody that sees you crying, say "you oughta laugh You oughta laugh!?" There is no Gucci I can buy There is no Louis Vuitton to put on There is no vacation spot I could fly That could bring back, a piece of real life Real life, Real life Real life, Real life Nigga don't miss, better not miss Better not miss... Better not miss Better not miss...(Just pianos) Better not miss, better not miss, better not miss... (Just pianos) [Freestyle:] Don't miss, don't miss...

Can you imagine how many times they told me That I would never work in this town again? In this town again... And I felt down again, and I felt down again... And I felt down again...(Do you get it?)

Oh, they must have lied, 'cause I feel so much love tonight! They must have lied, 'cause I feel so much love tonight! They must have lied, lied...

He could've put this on the end of TLOP, the back half of this version is such a positive spin on his most depressing track. It shows the difference in his outlook from 808s and now, and how he came out on top

This is the first and only song I’ve ever cried listening to

MAN I wish this was the version on the actual Album shit's fucking immaculate

You can’t make me hate this man 🥶🥶🥶

This motivates me to keep going. Keep believing. That one day I will have everything I ever dreamed of. Nothing is impossible. If I am focused. It will happen 🙂

This gotta be top 5 greatest songs ever created. Truly a masterpiece of work from Kanye.

I hope he finds his way one day.

This just made me realize Kanye is saying “just pianos” at the beginning of the muffled solo in runaway

I FEEL SO MUCH LOVE TOONIIIIIIIIIIGHHHTGTTTTTTTTTTTT THEY MUSTVE LIED 😭😭😭

That symphony is so beautiful makes me emotional

I saw this exact set live and it gave me goosebumps the whole time! It’s a masterpiece

Was very fortunate to be able to witness both 808's @ HB shows. Legendary. Shout out to Mike Dean killing the riffs at the end in conjunction with the orchestra.

Love this artwork

Emotional masterpiece.

8:14 & 9:22 Jesus....

This the clearest I’ve heard the audio, it’s like hearing the song again for the first time

The three dislikes are the biggest trolls i have ever seen

Dedicated to you Kanye, my best friend 💜🙏

One of the best song of all time

Thank you, I listen to this song, for it reaches into my soul, I can feel Kanye's pain, for those whom believe he has no compassion or feelings, thank you God for giving him a Family again😭

just cried uncontrollably for 10 minutes

That was Legendary moment when he performed this amazing show

This live performance elevates the original song so much

Kanye breakin out....massive spirit. Respect 4 him ye

“Do you think I sacrificed a real life for all the things and flashing lights”

My god, that guitar rift…

Kanye says what everybody else is afraid to say, we need more people like him. No BS just state your facts

Probably Kanye’s most emotional song

this song is simply breathtaking

Kanye, I've heard you the whole time

Best version

There is no YSL they could sell....

I wish this version was on 808s. It would’ve been crazyy on the album

The funny thing is Pinocchio LIED

Back here after 8 years... matters of heart 💔 Edit: I just feel so much love now... they must have lied. I'm not heartbroken anymore 🙂

One of the best songs i ever herd.

Thank you for this

I never related to a song so much shit makes my eyes water everytime

just pianos

The piano melody starting at 0:26 sounds straight outta All Of The Lights Interlude

Thanks so much for this

Dont let em bring you down!

It’s like Kanye just hooked me up to an IV and pumped all of his emotions and pain into me

Very emotional song but i love it

Thank you so much for this!!!

“Betta not miss” !!

This shiii gives me goose bumps

cause i feel so much love tonight...

From Italy Kanye West change The culture forever . In my opinion The best music lakers ever . In this comment section There are the real illuminati . I love u all .

I tell the truth and I, I keep runnin

I hope Kanye pulls himself back together from whatever funk he's going through these days and that eventually we'll get a Pinocchio Story 202X at some point. It would be an... interesting listen, to say the least.

I miss this.

This song is amazing

fav song ever ,

Thankyou.. that’s all I can say

All the money in the world could never buy true love. Valentines day awaits.

Tbh kinda disrespectful putting the name here but this is better than anything Lrake could ever do 💯

Why wasnt this the album version 😔 The guitar at the end is insane. This might be my favorite song on 808s.

It not the same as the original, different vibe but still apreciate the effort

1:14 OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOH MYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY
