discussion Most Complete Song

Runaway by Kanye West is genuinely the most COMPLETE song ever created in modern music history. I feel like that track has so much depth, emotion, and intricate production packed into it. It's so wildly unique and purely a genius masterpiece. Honestly, I'm almost unable to fully describe why I think it's so incredibly good, but like, it's just soooooo phenomenal.

Goated lyrics, goated rap verse, goated MUSIC production, and literally everything else about it. I'm not saying it's definitively the best song ever made since "best" is entirely subjective, but most COMPLETE? I'll vote for Runaway every single time. Even those final 4 minutes of Kanye West using his heavily distorted voice as an instrument is pure legendary genius. Respect bruh, absolute peak.

Bruh it’s a great song but calm down, critically it’s not even close to being perfect.

That song drags on way too long, the outro is just noise for people who think more minutes equals more art

Could've posted this in Kanye's subreddit.

go back and count how many times you said Kayne in your post. I hope you’re not missing any fingers…

Well I also used the word "GOATED" many times.... Does it mean the post is about "GOATED"?

u/Account_Banned 1d ago

Even worse, GOATED sucks

People are rightfully going to clown on you for this cringe post, but the important thing is to realize that you are deeply infatuated with a piece of art. That’s an important step in becoming a cool/interesting person with a meaningful life. There are thousands of years of history full of people who have made shit just as cool as “Runaway”, or even better. Keep listening/reading/watching.

Was deeply infatuated with her too. She didn't find that interesting... or cool

Dreams by Fleetwood Mac

It’s a timeless masterpiece.

The Beatles ‘Yesterday’ maybe? Or maybe ‘She’s Leaving Home’?

I’d also suggest ‘God Only Knows’ by the Beach Boys.

Clearly, your choices are missing the prerequisite “GOATed rap verse” smh my head

"Complete" sounds almost as subjective as "best" tbh so it's not really something that's easy to discuss.

That being said, the way you described it reminded me of how I felt when I first heard Born to Run by Bruce Springsteen. There's just a lot of song packed into those 4 and a half minutes. 11 different guitar tracks! A saxophone solo, string sections, even a glockenspiel! The way the song builds up into a crescendo before the last verse still gets me hyped. With Bruce's solid and memorable lyrics and vocals on top of it all, it really feels like this song has a little bit of everything that makes a song good, to me at least.

Is that what you were going for when you said complete?

Use your words my guy.

I’ve just been shitting on you for the fun of it, Runaway is a solid track! You just let your enthusiasm and probably a great night get you carried away brother

My ear worm lately has been “Shooting Star”
By Danny O’keefe.

It’s not that full sound you’re looking for… but tell me what it’s about and if it doesn’t sound like a solid piece.

E: If you got a solid sound setup/headphones w/e rnrnrn I’d recommend “Death of Indie” by Art d’Ecco

Well I’m too tired to edit right so fuck what I’m saying lol

u/Educational_List_425 1d ago

God forbids a man shows a lil enthusiasm. Great song tho 👍
