Best song on the album. Great production, incredible voice and chorus by Chris Martin, and the lyric “Reach for the stars, so if you fall you’ll land on a cloud” is beautiful.

[@MrEwanRoy]

Kanye caught a lot of flak for bringing Chris Martin (British dude) on a song about Chicago, but I always thought it was a valid, deliberate stylistic choice. This song isn't just a love letter to Chicago--it's a song about Kanye's changing relationship to Chicago after he's become a famous, world-touring artist. If you've ever returned to your hometown after a long absence and a bunch of new life experiences, you do end up feeling like a foreigner in some ways.That outsider feeling is what Ye is trying to convey by having his inner voice of yearning for home be performed by a guy with a British accent. "Homecoming" is actually a pretty bittersweet song in that regard, because it acknowledges that while Chi is Ye's home, it will never fully be his home again. There will always be a part of him that feels foreign to it.
