I’m going to put my mom to rest today and I’m gonna play this after the funeral and release balloons into the sky. This song tears me up cause it describes outlet relationship so well and the way he put this version together is perfect. Good looking ye

It took me the passing of my own mom to finally understand Kanye’s behavior.

There’s not been an artist passing that has made me sad. But when Kanye goes I’ll be gutted.

this version of the song is one of the handful of songs that can make me kinda emotional and im not a person that gets sad easily

Coming back after listening to Donda. This is even more beautiful now

The fact he broke down crying when he was performing this in a live show is soo heartbreaking

Okay I bawled my eyes out at this and my mom is still here with me. I can't even imagine how I'd feel if my mom wasn't here... Thank you Ye.

Promised you at 13 before you passed I would go to school like you always wanted. Well, just received my degree this summer 🥂 miss you ma.

I used to play the original version of this song for my mom when she was alive. She loved it and would say “I’m so proud of you” , she passed away in Sept 2016 of cancer but I try and visit her and bring her flowers all the time. I play her this song every time I visit. miss her a lot.

“This life is all a dream, and my real life starts, when I go to sleep.” All I feel is ☹️

Ppl can hate on Kanye West all they want, but idk how those can say that yet never listen to this song. This is easily the most emotional song he made and this version made it better

I love this song so much I cry every time

Dreamt of my mama last night, This song came to mind while I was driving today. Now I can’t stop listening to it. Every time I visit my mama at the cemetery I tell her to visit me in my dreams 7 years later I can only count with one or possibly two hands how many times I’ve seen her in my dreams. I miss her so much.

Can't get enough of this song today. Ma passed this morning. I was with her. She got to go the way she wanted. And honestly I'm proud of her and her work on this earth. She helped so many people without ever getting in return. But it showed me the way to crate love and peace. Just don't expect anything back. Share and give. Eventually you get rewarded with long lasting friendships. It's always worth it.

Probably one of my favorite versions of the song. 🕊

“last night i saw you in my dream now i cant wait to go to sleep”😔

He sings about my greatest fear. All things considered I think he kept his composure when he lost his mama because idk what I'd do if I lost mine.

"Last night I saw you in my dreams, so now I can't wait to go to sleep." Damn !!

My mom died last month. I’m bawling to this. I considered taking my life last night, when I fell asleep I dreamt about her for the first time since she passed.

Dreading the moment imma have to listen to this song without my mom here. Appreciate the love while it’s still here for you 🤙🏽🙏🏽

The side of Kanye that media doesn't know

Listening to this song after donda dropped, Kanye really loved his mom. People really need to understand how hard it is to loose someone you love especially how Kanye’s mom passed away so unexpectedly.

My twins played this song before they graduated on May 23rd, 2024. They had so many family members pass away in the four years of high school, plus going through the COVID pandemic and almost not graduating. They fought day and night to get every credit and this is what they promised me. RIPower, Mama! I hope you are proud of the Nation I have built. 🕊️💜👑🦋

That’s why I love Kanye I’m a 52 year old white boy that misses his mama 🙏🏻❤️🙏🏻

"I said mommy, Im gonna love you till you dont hurt no more" My mom is in a nursing home with progressive MS. She has been unable to walk since she was 50. Nothing hits me as hard as this version of this song.

I was 17 when hey mama came out. I memorized it within a week and sang along with it to my mom before she even got the chance to hear it. 😆 Six years ago I sang the grammys version at her bedside as she was losing her battle to cancer. This song always has and always will be my song for my mama. As much as I hate Kanye, I love him for this song. 💯🙏❤

I had to watch my mom slowly pass on a hospital bed. I was not allowed to enter her room, I never got to say bye or say sorry, nor was I able to hold her hand. I miss her very much and I hope I'm making her proud despite my faults, and I hope to reunite with her. If you know your mom loves you, please show her that you understand. I say that because you cannot match a mother's level of love.

im not a person who cries easily but this will forever do it for me. this will forever break me down. this record special.

This lyrics really hits home for me after my mother ascended 16yrs ago. My mother was one of a kind , taught me so much and planted a foundation of self love. And knowledge of self , I've been truly blessed to have had her as my mother. Rest In Prosperity 6/14/06.

Rest in peace mama. Whenever I see my mama in my drea.s I wake up and cry when realising she ain't there and will never be here...🥺

My mom has stage 4 colon cancer and she’s not doing well, we’ve tried 6 different treatments and chemotherapy’s and non of it is working, I’m slowly watching my mom die in front of me, and it’s very…very hard to handle and see.

Hits different now when Kanye is back in a dark place (divorce)

i always loved the original song so much, hearing this version after my mothers recent passing, damn man, i never thought there'd be a song i'd be so emotionally connected to

Beautiful version

Rest in Peace, Mama ❤️ I wanna scream so loud for you

Broooooo, this version is making a grown man cry

Step 1. Try not to cry Step 2. Cry a lot

Lost my Mom Nov 21st, 2021 and I’m just lost. My hero is gone. My world will always be a lot darker without her, she was so important to me and I regret that I didn’t show that enough while she was here. Mom April 13th, 1966 - Forever, I love and miss you so much Mom

Im 14 and my mom was in the hospital and passed this song has me so emotional ion care what happens with YE he is the best artist I’m always on his side no matter what

Once I found this song, I listened about 10 times in a row. Not because I feel like this about mine, but because it must be so wonderful to have experienced this and I feel the love he has for her. One day my children will feel this when they think of their mama

The sheer amount of indescribable grief and agony listening to this song will never cease to allow me to appreciate all the people in my life.

this song and ‘never see me again’ really hit the spot for me, gonna play this version of hey mama at my mothers funeral as it’s our kanye song, and i’ll play ‘never see me again at mine’

Makes me cry everytime. God bless you Kanye and Donda West.

My mom had a stroke and she needs round clock care. She didnt pass away but its just not the same. Every mothers day I lay in the shower, play this on repeat and just ball my eyes out. Thank you ye ❤️

Mommy getting old as time goes by..can't imagine my only mother leaving me on this earth. I understand how you feel, Ye

My favorite version. So beautiful

Kanye gave me that same feeling that Pac did with Dear Mama it’s spiritual I’m telling y’all

His amazing voice really shines in this song, so beautiful it brings tears to my eyes every single time. Kanye, I love all your music but give us more like this!🙏🏿🙏🏾🙏🏽🙏🏼🙏🏻🙏

To the wonderfu beautiful patient woman who has been a ray of positive joy and light in my life here for you Darlece Annette Bohannon 1963-2022 love you always

Lost my grandma recently and I quite literally saw her in my dreams last night. Ima miss her so much! Just to hear her laugh again.. 💖💖

this song makes me wonder what I’ll be like when my mom or even my dad pass. i love this song so much no matter how sad it makes me, thank you ye.

This man not crazy he miss his Mom and I didn’t understand until I lost mines . I understand you Kanye West . Keep being you

It's been 1 year today of my mom's passing. Though my heart breaks every night before I sleep just thinking about her, this song has helped ease the pain. There won't be a day where I don't think about my mom. I love you mom. Shout outs to all the moms out there. To everyone reading this, please go tell your mom you love her. ❤

Was really hoping a ‘Hey Mama’ reprise similar to this version would appear on Donda

Kanye has a nice singing voice

I always sad when I listen to released hey mama but this version makes me cry I was in class and I saw this video and started criying

Finally you can rest mommy! I wasn't what you wanted me to be. However, I will give my life to fulfill your expectations. I failed!! But you never did and you gave every aspect of your essence for my life. Thank you God! Thank you Kanye... Thank you Mother! I'll see you soon... I'm sorry!!!

this is my favorite song and its favorite version.

my favourite version of the song

I lost my mom last year and these words create so much pain in my heart 💔

This the first time listening to this song since my mama passed away in July 2021

There is something about this song that makes you realize in the moment that your ma ain’t going to last forever and it hits hard. I always knew this but just because you know something doesn’t mean it affects you emotionally.

Last night I saw you in my dreams. Now I can’t wait to go to sleep. This life is all a dream My real life starts when I go to sleep- Kanye West The only time I feel comfort after she left is when I see her in my dreams.

I just cried like a baby it hit diff When ya mom n heaven Love u mama.. Thanks kanye it's up there wit dear mama... Used to bang this when I was a kid

Realizing this might be my final few years with my mom. This shit brought me to tears……

If you listen to this without crying you have no soul

I love Kanye

Kanye West is best music Artist of all time.

I Just created a video for my mother using this song for her birthday on November 26th. When she watched it she cried tears of joy. She ended up crying every time she watched it. She said it was the nicest thing she has ever received. I really love my mom and I am very appreciative of her. Everything she has done for me, all the times she has helped me with school. Everything. She is the best mother I could ever have. :)

I hope my son misses me like Kayne misses his mom when I’m gone but without suffering. I pray he lives a joyful and full life with God.

Maaaaannnnn I just cried 😢 😭 this is sad

I miss my aunt so much I my love mom but my aunt was like my mom even more rip aunt/mom/,angel

Love his voice so much in this song...😊

This song and roses are 2 of the first songs of his I listened to and I’ve been a fan ever since

My son got married on June 17 and surprised me by calling me on the dance floor to dance with me to this song. Oh, my…so precious and unforgettable for me.

I feel Kanye is really depressed since flooding his mom.he need our love,prayers and understanding.remember,he was an only child,loved unconditionally, and so it's not easy to recover from that and a terrible accident,not to mention his dad.we the people who love ye ,will continue to pray for him and his family.😍😍😍😍

Stay strong Kanye.

I had the privilege of dancing with my mother to this song at my wedding. Cannot imagine life without her.

Eternal life be upon Donda West, your son help keep me right in my darkest times Salute

Im just coming back every day to watch this beautiful video and hear to the song. It's so inspiring

This video is so beautiful. Thank you for this!

When you lose a loved one....your universe changes....

Our mothers are together.

My son got married June 17 and surprised me by calling me up to dance with him at the wedding to this song. Oh my…so precious to me.

Wow this is just straight up magical full of love and appreciation💛💛

i so wish i could express to kanye the impact both versions of this song have meant to me and how much they meant to my son, #SammuelKingsley. he didn't how how to find his words. he couldn't ever seem to find the way he wanted to express to me all i meant to him. but one late late night I got a link via text from him. it was one of these versions - later he sent me the other version. i can STILL see where i was standing what i was doing how i was feeling when i first heard it and what it meant to me that he heard the song he felt his feelings and he shared them with me. this song - both versions carried me through my first year of this life after his death he'd always encouraged me to "run" or at least try because i would have these amazing dreams of running - just for the sake of the freedom of doing so after he died running and the two versions of this song they were a HUGE part of what saved my life i could hear him and still can make that sound at the beginning of the other version ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh whenever he was extra proud of me and i hear him singing me these words when i make it through yet another anything - achievement or mere survival he's always there and so are these words to me the second year i did the warrior dash i thought i would collapse and need an air lift i'm only mildly exaggerating but then i heard him again and i sang it OUT LOUD TO MYSELF as i heard him singing to me in my head as i managed to make it through to the end afterall he told me inside my head you ARE My Warrior mom. last night i saw you in my dreams now i can't wait to go to sleep though i still feel each version from my Sammuel to me THIS version i feel as a mom living in the absence of the presence of my only beloved child and longing to see him again in my dreams. love you babe. come visit me in my dreams. stay with me a while. talk to me. tell me things i need to hear. my sonny sonny sonny your moms aka Sam's Warrior mom #Forever28

I'm dead ass crying over some kanye songs , he has such a troubled mind . He pours his soul in his song

Lost my Mom 3 days after my 24th birthday. Today is the 7th year she's been gone. I'm crying so bad it's not funny....

After I lost my grandma i struggled to listen to this song. The first couple of days she really was in my dreams and every night I couldn't wait to go to sleep and spend time with her. It wasn't anything outlandish it was just us sitting and talking about our day. Man did I hate waking up on those days

Kanye knows how to put his heart and soul into his art. This is beautiful.

Pfft, Tarun my guy, you killed it with edit, amazing. Grew up with the dude from backpacks/polos and struggles to get know, to mansions and struggles coping with bigger demons. Hope he finds his a new center. Mental health is no joke, my struggles to cope happened when this came out in '05 as senior in hs and continue to this day. Luckily my family, docs, meds, were there and still are to give me that lift I lack sometimes. Theres no shame in asking for help. Donda and all true parents/family are worth more than anything immaginable. Blessing to all that feel comfort and love with this song ❤

I cry every time i hear this

This so deep and beautiful 🥰 heart ♥️ touching! Those of us that still have our mommas shouldn’t take her for granted 😭🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷

thank you donda.

This song dedicated to my grandmother. I miss you so much😢

i love my mama

between this and only one, I can’t help but feel everything. THANK YOU YE 🕊

Last night I saw you in my dreams, and now I can't wait to go back to sleep

The deepest pains, comes from the greatest loves 🖤

THIS IS MY KANYE
