“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
@@sten3826when she said it she meant it as in humbleness. When we see the giant we see a giant, but when the giant looks in the mirror he sees himself as regular individual. When ye says it he means he’s empty inside & there’s nothing on the screen because he’s just a product at this point to people & his life is filled with material things that don’t matter.
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.
Ye is like a glass half full always spilling...he has no control and he knows that he will mess up again but revels in the blotch of what he's created everywhere as if it was on purpose.
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

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.
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 🙂
S. S It will happen. Whatever you believe will manifest itself into reality. Never let anyone try to change your path. You have the power and can do anything! I hope you become famous or whatever you want to do. Never stop believing in yourself. I have done it too much. But like Bob Dylan said “Don’t think twice It’s alright.” We should never second guess ourselves. We got this.
Well whatever you're aspiring towards definitely take caution from Kanye cause the message of this song along with a good majority of his other ones is that once you get to the top you pretty much realize you sacrificed the opportunity of a real life, and no amount of materialism can get back what you lost.
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😭
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 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.
Sorted that came and saw that Bianca and Kim all I want is was money you need a real woman is beautiful and looks beautiful I love this song in 2024 and the rest of the years that we go on in our life😢😅

except now this song applies to so many who are afraid to speak
Still applies

In a time where everyone saw autotune was fake, Kanye used it to make one of the realest songs ever
My god why was I sleeping on this MASTERPIECE of a Song. Kanye is the Best of our Generation nobody can change my opinion.
this song made me cry 3+ times. this is such a masterpiece in storytelling and should be praised more.

when he hits the notes and the piano hits at the same time tonight that shit went deep.
The inclusion of the piano fragments of "Heartless" is absolutely brilliant. Fame really is a Jezebel.
Also from all of the 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?

I FEEL SO MUCH LOVE TOONIIIIIIIIIIGHHHTGTTTTTTTTTTTT THEY MUSTVE LIED 😭😭😭
This just made me realize Kanye is saying “just pianos” at the beginning of the muffled solo in runaway

That symphony is so beautiful makes me emotional
Emotional masterpiece.

“Do you think I sacrificed a real life for all the things and flashing lights”
Best version
Kanye, I've heard you the whole time
I wish this version was on 808s. It would’ve been crazyy on the album
Kanye says what everybody else is afraid to say, we need more people like him.
No BS just state your facts
Thank you for this
I never related to a song so much shit makes my eyes water everytime
just pianos
wanted the listeners to feel the fuckin emotions with the piano. and my god did it succeed

It not the same as the original, different vibe but still apreciate the effort
this is just a clearer version of the original 2015 performance. Kanye doesn’t sing this song the same when he performs
This is 100x better than the original, especially in the context of what Kanye was going thru at this moment.
Thank u this is gold
