Coldest Winter

In Kanye West´s masterful 2010 composition of 808s & Heartbrakes, Kanye on his song ¨Coldest Winter" (if possible listen to the version on youtube on KanyesVEVO channel) tells a wonderful deep somber story abuout the passing of his mother, who died during complicatons of cosmetic surgery. The song is completly dedicated to hismother, and it tells the gutrentching feelings of seperation he is having. 

He drives this message through the simple repetitive lines throughout the song. Lines like “memories made in the coldest winter” which has multiple meanings wether it is  referring to him and his mother moving to Chicago in the winter, or his mother passing in the winter, or also the winter being cold and dark, which can relate to the feelings of depression. While the line “her love is a thousand miles away” is inferring that Kanyeś mother, Donda, is in heaven, so far away from him; he is clearly distraut, whcih again makes this song evident it is about his mother. He finally signs off the song with the line, ¨ I wont ever love again/ Never again¨ because nobody in his life can match theconnection they had, and love only causes pain and sufferiung, the exact reason,-due to his mothers death- why he wrote this song.
