  General Comment:Just watched vh1 Storytellers ant it's clear the correct lyrics are:
  
  "Why would she make calls out the blue?
  Now I'm awake, sleepless in June"

  ..the 808 sounding like a heart monitor...first time I noticed it I thought of him (as an everyman) & a hospital and just broke down crying. Gorgeous.
  I love the auto-tune. If there has EVER been a time & place for it....Its crazy that people ripped on that but I cant see any other way he'd have set the tone so perfectly and allowed his full of pride self to go where he did on this album.
  Where would be without creative geniuses like this guy? A much colder world. Tired of defending his actions but the music will always stand alone for me.

  General Comment:Again I return to this song.
  Now. More than 3 ½ months later this song still keeps it's power.
  I'm listening to it now and it moves me perhaps even more than when I first wrote about it here.
  I'm close to calling it the best song Kanye ever wrote.
  And the album the best album he ever made.
  I'm a sucker for melancholy and bitter sweetness and this album has buckets of that.
  A lot of the songs on this album thoughes me so deep in my soul, that words can't explain how emotional I get when listening to a song like Say you will or Street lights.
  Kanye! You have outdone yourself this time!

  General Comment:I agree with the 808 sounding like a heart monitor and the chorus being a direct reference to wedding vows (I do, I will, etc.). This song has the biggest melody on the album, if not of all time. I love how austere the auto-tune makes his voice sound. It's so sad and powerful, and yet at the same time so almost sterile and resigned.

  General Comment:I think it's about still desire someone but never be able to have them completely the way you want. He wants the girl to say yes, to agree but he also wants her to mean it. But the guy knows that if the girl does say yes, it will only be a false promise. Cause he's been thru that with the girl bfo. And now he's torn between being with the girl for now and never truly getting what he wants- a life long commitment or say gudbye for good and still miss her and fantasize about her.

  General Comment:I love this song. To me it's one of the stand out tracks on 808s and Heatbreak. For sure better than either lead single.

  General Comment:WOW,,, I know how Kanye feels.. This song relates to me and a recent relationship situation... He does still desire his ex but knows its time to move on... He's got too much going on to stop and focus Truly on this Lost Love and he knows it.
