This is the second in a series of posts in which we post a song sampled on Kanye’s new album “808s & Heartbreak”.

Coldest Winter contains interpolations of "Memories Fade" by Tears For Fears.

Kanye has always been more adventurous with the bands and genres from which he chooses to draw inspiration, and "Memories Fade" by English pop rock group Tears For Fears is no exception.

The song was first released in 1983 on the album "The Hurting" — very fitting for a sample on an album about heartbreak, don't you think?

"'Memories Fade' is an incredibly wordy song. It's got a good feeling, but I find the actual indulgence in the words a bit too much." -- Roland Orzabal (Lead singer of Tears For Fears)
