Kanye West - "Homecoming"

Estou a fazer um "test-drive" aos novo disco do Kanye West... Para saber se vale a pena comprar ou até oferecer no Natal.
Se há lá músicas interessantes também há algumas coisas um pouco repetitivas... O que me chamou mesmo a atenção foram os convidados que o Senhor West chamou para dar uma mãozinha vocal.
E quase quase no fim do CD encontro a melhor música deste disco!
Com a magnifica e muito ajustada participação de Chris Martin (para os mais distraídos é o vocalista dos Coldplay) esta canção é simples mas chega longe...
Ouçam lá a balada oficial deste Outono:


Im coming home again
Do you think about me now and then?
Do you think about me now and then?
'Cause I'm coming home again,
coming home again

Chi-town. Uh.
I met this girl when I was three years old
And what I love most, she had so much soul
She said "Excuse me little homie, I know you don't know me
But uh, my name is Windy, and yo, I like to blow trees" and

From that point I never blow her off
Cousins come from out of town, I like to show her off
They like to act tough, she like to tow 'em off
And make 'em straighten up they hat cuz she know they soft
And when I grew up, she show me how to go downtown
And in the nighttime, her face lit up, so astounding
I told her, in my heart is where she'll always be
She never mess with entertainers cuz they always leave
She said it felt like they walked and drove on me
Knew I was gang affiliated, got on tv, and told on me
I guess that's why last winter she got so cold on me S
he said "keep makin' that, keep makin' that platinum and gold for me

"Do you think about me now and then?
Do you think about me now and then?
'Cause I'm coming home again, coming home again
Do you think about me now and then?
Do you think about me now and then?
Oh, now I'm coming home again
Maybe we could start again.

But if you really cared for her
Then you wouldn't've never hit the airport, to follow your dreams
Sometimes I still talk to her
But when I talk to her, it always seems like she talk about me
She said, "You left your kids, and they just like you
They wanna rap and make soul beats just like you
But they just not you, and I just got through
Talkin' 'bout what he tryin'a do, just not new

"Now everybody got the game figured out all wrong
I guess you never know what you got 'till it's gone
I guess that's why I'm here and I can't come back home
And guess when I heard that, when I was back home
Every interview I'm representing you, makin' you proud
Reach for the stars, so when you fall you land on a cloud
Jumpin' in crowds, sparkin' lighters, wave 'em around
If you don't know by now, I'm talkin' 'bout Chi-town

Do you think about me now and then?
Do you think about me now and then?
'Cause I'm coming home again, coming home again
Maybe it, do you remember when fireworks at Lake Michigan
Oh, now im coming home again, coming home again
Maybe it, do you remember when fireworks at Lake Michigan
Oh, now im coming home again,
maybe we can start again.
