It’s a great album. I actually didn’t fancy it to much from the first few listens but one thing I’ve learnt from listening to the Weeknd is that his songs grow on you and sound better the more you listen to them, now it’s one of my go too’s. They probably just haven’t listened to it enough.
@@caleb8414 Hell man, I even had that experience with trilogy. I found a few I really enjoyed from trilogy and kids land and would listen to them cause the others didn’t speak to me at the time, but as time went on I started listening to the other tracks more and more and now I live pretty much everything from both of them
@@JD-jz5gu yeah same bro, that for sure happened to me with trilogy. It happens with a lot of songs I listen to. There’s songs that stand out with the first listen for example blinding lights has a catchy tune to it and you’ll usually like it after the first if not second listen & then there’s other songs that need like 3-4+ listens before you start to feel the groove of it, they’re usually the songs that are most enjoyable to.
Definitely my favourite from this album. When I heard it first, I thought he was talking about a woman in his life. But after all this time and coming back to listen to it, I think this song is him talking to himself. He's talking about never being able to go back to a 'normal' life because of who he is now. He made the decision to pursue the fame and fortune, and now he'll never see the face of a normal life anymore. That's who the 'she' is in this song - the life he'll never get back. But that's okay, because he adapted anyway.
Same thoughts. I also feel that in his last album he tries to go back to his old songs maybe because he is missing the person he used to be before fame.
For anyone curious what’s being said at 0:17 “The sun has gently passed me by. In my prison sail against the sky Waiting for tomorrow Just another day God bid yesterday ...Goodbye”
No ACTUALLY its "The afternoon has gently passed me by" "The evening spreads its sail against the sky" "Waiting for tomorrow, just another day" "God bid yesterday Goodbye"
[Intro] When the sun comes up, you're searching for a love So your heart won't lead you to anyone When the sun goes down, I know what you become You become awake, unlike the rest of us [Sample] The afternoon has gently passed me by The evening spreads its sail against the sky Waiting for tomorrow Just another day God bid yesterday goodbye [Verse 1] I lay my head on a thousand beds It's been a test to see how far a man Can go without himself I think I lost the only piece that held it all in place Now my madness is the only love I let myself embrace I could've stayed [Chorus] But I chose the life I chose the life Then I realized She might have been the one I let it go For a little fun I made a trade Gave away our days For a little fame Now I'll never see your face But it's okay I adapted anyway [Verse 2] Adapted to these models Who's adapted to the bottle They take it down like water Just to burn away their sorrows I'll stay up till tomorrow Just to tear down all their morals And all is fair in Love and War She's pure [Bridge] So pure, like the love that's so uncut and raw And clean, so clean, as opposed to what I offered [Chorus 2] Because I chose the life I chose the life Then I realized She might have been the one I let it go For a little fun I made a trade Gave away our days For a little fame Now I'll never see your face But it's okay I adapted anyway She might just be the one She might just be the one She might just be the one She might just be the one [Sample] The afternoon has gently passed me by The evening spreads its sail against the sky Waiting for tomorrow Just another day God bid yesterday goodbye
Kissland was peak the weeknd , after that he became worldwide but everything before that is just a pure masterpiece. No one came into the game as hard as him cuz he brought a new flow/beat, the darkness and the realness. Kissland was so dark that i couldnt understand most of the album but as i grew older i could relate more and more and all i can say is that 22 years old able was too woke for his age.
It's about both. " I chose the life, I chose the life then i realized, she might've been the one I let it go for a little fun" that's about him losing his girl and follows up with " i made a trade , gave away our days, for a little fame" because he sold his soul way before the fame and now look where he is. Theres proof that he sold it too...
@@uzii4k no my guy he chose over her he could've stayed but he decided he'll go with the fame,and everyone knows when ur famous u basically get what u want and I want to see the proof of him selling his soul

This song is my absolute favourite.Such a beautiful song.His voice gives me chills,the lyrics cut my soul,even The Police sample at the beginning and end of the song never fails to leave me breathless!!
Despite the song Kiss Land being one of his greatest songs, I much prefer this song over any other in the album. This song is so beautiful, dark, depressing and overall soothing. This has the exact trilogy vibes, but with lyrics that ties around the Kiss Land album (if that makes any sense). This song was meant to be for this album since Kiss Land was about The Weeknd finding himself and how he’s changing.
0:17 - 0:48 The afternoon has gently passed me by The evening spreads its sail against the sky Waiting for tomorrow Just another day God bid yesterday goodbye "Bring on the Night" by The Police
I wish I had discovered this song a couple years ago. I relate to it so much because this is literally how I felt about the mistakes I made in my relationship. Would’ve helped me get through those times a little more easily.
i was going through difficult times when i discovered kiss land and now things are getting better nowadays but i still feel that part of me and i don’t think it will ever go but it just proves im stronger than i was years back ,
I heard a different version of the song and it was beautiful but now I discovered the original and it's so touching. I am always so addicted to his voice
Same I get stoned n blast this shit in my ears n close my eyes ....I swear I be like the most dangerous person in my head his music makes u visualize ...easy way to explain Abel is my darker side
Tesfaye is the real deal. I remember way back when thinking his success would be short-lived, but I was wrong. Apparently it’s always The Weeknd! Matthew 21:22
I find myself back here yet again after the disappointing release of heartless. I guess he really has changed and we will never get these vibes again 😔
Can you just let him grow as an artist? Let him explore. I wasn't a fan of the Starboy album but I knew that the mix tapes, Kissland, and BBTM still exists so I just listened to them again.
When the sun goes up, you're searching for a love So your heart won't lead you to anyone When the sun goes down, I know what you become You become awake, unlike the rest of us I lay my head on a thousand beds It's been a test to see how far a man, can go without himself I think I lost the only piece that held it all in place Now my madness is the only love I let myself embrace I could've stayed But I chose the lie I chose the life Then I realized She might have been the one I let it go For a little fun I made a trade Gave away our days For a little fame Now I'll never see your face But it's okay I adapted anyway Uh Adapted to these models Whose adapted to the bottle They take it down like water Just to burn away their sorrows I'll stay up till tomorrow Just to tear down all their morals And all is fair in love and war, she's pure So pure, Like the love that's so uncut and raw and clean So clean, As opposed to what I offered because I chose a lie I chose the lie Then I realized She might have been the one I've let it go For a little fun Oh I've made a trade Gave away our days For a little fame Now I'll never see your face But it's okay I adapted anyway She might just be the one She might just be the one She might just be the one (might just be the one) Might just be the one She might just be the one
When u can listen to a song like this one and it could bring you back to a place in your life when shit was different and how much you grew that time when u first got hooked to this song
First I get shocked by Abel's cameo in Uncut Gems, because I went into it blind. Then, while doing my routine listening to his older discography, I hear: "And all is fair in love and war, She's pure, so pure, like *the love that's so uncut and raw * and clean, so clean, as opposed to what I offered " The protagonist leaves his wife for a young mistress, and he leaves a raw black opal for an artificially valuable piece of jewelry. God DAMMIT there are too many layers of easter eggs here I can't take it it's so good.
[Intro] When the sun comes up, you're searching for a love So your heart won't lead you to anyone When the sun goes down, I know what you become You become awake, unlike the rest of us
I want a girlfriend who will just get high from these songs with me in my car going down a long stretch of highway in the night during a full moon and windows down...
the afternoon has gently pass me by the evening spreads its sails against the sky waiting for tomorrow just another day god forbid yesterday goodbye........🈯
