Kanye West - Power (Audio)

[yayayayayaya]

jesus this song is just so fucking insane. its so goddamn lush. you can listen to this 1000 times and still find new things in the beat, instrumentation, lyrics... god.

[tristan]

3:18 : If you notice, as the song transitions to a bit about Kanye's "beautiful death", his "so excited" turns into "suicide". Once you've heard it you can't unhear it.

[akkar]

The transition to “so excited” to “suicide” is so genius that I’m very surprised that Kanye managed to do that. And when King Crimson busted in the song out of nowhere, I was really happy. Overall, really good song!

[michael-pgfi]

This is one of the best songs ever made

[criticalyearsago]

This song makes me want to take over a penthouse..

[gavriloprincipgaming]

I’m here just to appreciate the fact that Kanye used King Crimson

[rue]

The line "Jumping out the Window" hits different when you know what he was going through and if he proceeded to do it we would've never got this beautiful masterpiece of an album.
Thank you Kanye for inspiring me to keep on living and many others even when times seem to never light up.

[jacobgoodwin]

Anyone else get chills when they hear “you got the power to let power go?” Makes you realise this whole song is Kanye looking in the mirror at himself.

“Please stand for our national anthem”

[zukhanyemay]

"My childlike creativity, purity, and honesty is honestly being crowded by these grown thoughts.
Reality is catching up with me taking my inner child, I'm fighting for custody."

How have I not caught these bars all this time? Good thing I decided to major in Barology.

[brettquincey]

“No one man should have all of that power”

- Yeezy

god bless y’all

[korablina]

As someone who suffers from bipolar myself I can't help thinking that this song is a perfect representation of mania/hypomania.
Now, I don't want to downplay the societal issues brought up in this song or other interpretations of it. Rather point out another layer of this masterpiece.
As far as I know Ye wasn't aware of his diagnosis when he created Power, yet the accuracy with which he describes his state of mind is astonishing. Reckless driving, hypersexuality, feeling invincible, grandiose delusions, constant buss in your head, feeling overwhelmed, being talkative and argumentative... The signs are there.
If anything it's a testament to Ye's honesty and incredible ability to capture his emotions in a musical format.
That's a true talent!

[perfumedpathveilgate]

If you look at the situation ye was in prior and during the making of this album, mentally and physically, this song and this album is the best comeback I've seen in hip hop, just goes to show he can prove people wrong.

[Qrakupi]

I'm pretty sure in the future colleges will analyse and teach about Kanye's samples and discography as a whole. Let's appreciate his genius while he is still around us.

[ZombiFood]

This song just builds more swag the deeper it goes.

[calmye]

"Clocks ticking, I just count the hours" hits different in quarantine.

[BrandonNinja]

This song's almost 10 years old damn.

[wlves]

I’m a very conflicted man.

One thing is certain, I ain’t ever gonna cease listening to these BANGERS

[alim.lateef]

Kanye is not only a lyrical & musical genius, he's a futuristic one

[Coffee__Free]

This song makes me want to jump out of a helicopter and landing on the top of a penthouse crashing a party that was housed by a gang called morningstar and then take the place for myself and my gang
