The Weeknd - Blinding Lights (80s Remix) 

*Better title: adding extra 80s vibes to blinding lights.*

When the 80's song wasnt enough 80's

I thought it's impossible to make the song more 80s than it is

Synthwave in 1980's - music of future Synthwave in 2020's - music of past

This lowkey sounds like it would be an arcade game theme song

Producer: How much 80’s vibes do you want? The Weeknd: Yes

Plot twist: Original is remake of this.

for me there were 3 of my fav eras: 1. 1920s = aesthetic, classy. 2. 1950s = glamour. 3. 1980s = futuristic wannabe things.

Imagine GTA 6 takes place in the 80s

Crazy that I used to think that the original song sounded '80s enough lol 😂 This is awesome! Edit: Thanks for all the likes! 😊

This song is perfect for any GTA Game

The 80's have always been ahead of it's time in the synth wave genre to just all electronic dance music. I'm glad it's finally found it's home in the 2020s in some odd quirky way. This is was so 80's that I can drive the DeLorean through the screen.

Imagine driving a Infernus while listening to this song!

Blinding lights: 80's sound This: M o r e 8 0 ' s

1980s is the future of the past

Haven't heard this song since '87. Such nostalgic memories ❤

You took an already 80's sounding track and made it more 80's. You absolute legend

If I had a time machine, I'd surely put this on music records then I'll be a millionaire.

I remember when The Weeknd introduced this amazing piece of art back in October 1983! Good Times...

I have the feeling that 1980 would’ve been a nostalgic year fr

I remember when I first kissed a girl in a House Of Culture in Leningrad back in ‘88. This song was playing and I invited her to dance. Now she is my wife and yesterday my third grandson was born. Thanks, Weeknd!

As a 2000 kid I say I want to experience the 80s world

*GTA 6: The Return To Vice City*

1980s: “Pretty nice, but how is the future?” *1990s* *2000s* *2010s* *2020s* “STOP STOP I WANNA GO BACK”

people in 1980- can't wait to see 2020 people in 2020- i wish i could go to 1980

Plot twist: peoples who Disliked were blinded by the likes

GTA VI=CE CITY ❤️

The song already sounds like a 1980s Synth-Pop song. This just takes it up a notch. The Weekend must have been inspired by A-ha.

Car: Oceanic Road: Ocean Drive Building on left: Ocean View Hotel Yup, Vice City was my childhood. Edit: Changed car type to Oceanic

Play it at .75 speed, sounds more 80s

An 80s remix of an 80's song made in 2019

The Weeknd and Daft punk will always be seen as legends. I thought it would be impossible to make there music even better.

This is better than the remix he did the weekend with Rosalía, nor do we Spanish speakers understand what he says, I prefer this alternative version

Tommy Vercitti must be Proud

How many synthesizer effects do you want? Vapor VHS: Yes. Love it.

One of the most 80s-like song of the last decade being more 80s. I love it

Better than remix

Lol i was like.. “what a minute... blinding lights already sounds like the 80s..” I gotta time travel now. 🧳

Just when I thought the original was 80’s!

*That tune is all 80s vibe.* 😍 No wonder why this song is the second most streamed song on Spotify and probably, gonna be number 1 soon.

Me encanta 💖

I thought “isn’t blinding lights 80’a already?” oh man I was wrong

I haven't heard this song since 85' what a nostalgic moment🎉

This NEEDS to be the GTA 6 theme song!!

“People in the 80s want to be 2021, but people in 2021 miss the 80s “

I wish I was one of the 80’s kids😔

The fact that I miss being in the 80's but I was born in 2000

The longer this song stays on RU-vid the more 80’s it gets

What should I do next? Update: As a thank you to literally all 16 THOUSAND of you that’s viewed this I’m releasing a remastered version of this remix on the 14th of September at 12pm EST.

blinding lights: how much 80s? vapor: Y E S

the weeknd songs comprise of three parts 1. past 2.now 3. the future

This version is way better than the actual song

Rest in peace Weeknd 1930-1971 🙏🏻

Imagine driving a convertible porche driving in the middle of summer in the blazing sun and the tadio blasts this...

The song already has a touch of the 80’s This is just adding more taste

GTA 6, Vice City, 2025, We Are Coming 🌆🌴

without the entire context would make me believe that this was THE OG beat to blinding lights

play this at 0.75 speed, thank me later.

damn bro just made me nostalgic for a time that i wasnt even alive in

Take me back to 80's....those were the golden days....

Rockstar must include this song in GTA 6

Imagine a stoned Regan meeting Tommy and both discussing Arms Deals for Anti-commie rebels in 3rd world countries while this is playing in the background. Cant get any more 80's than that.

Straight fire, although I didn't imagine this song was able to become any closer to the 80s

Wish I was like 16 in 1985 to experience how wild it would have been... you 70s babies had it good!

Hearing the 80s twist and seeing the vice city picture dangggg nostalgia just took me on a huge ride!! Crazy how images and sounds trigger these things take me back!!

This man is still hearting all comments, what an absolute legend.

When I first heard blinding lights I actually thought I was listening to an 80’s song.

Played this song while driving around Bangalore in 1987 with my uncle's new car. Nostalgia

This song needs to be in Stranger Things Season 4 like this.

One word to describe this, actually two. How and Wow

Bro made an 80s type song even more 80s 🔥

The original song would fit in perfectly with radio of the mid-80s, but your remix takes it back to the genre we called New Wave, and New Romantic, of the very early 80s, the one with the laser beams and glitter eyeshadow, think Flock of Seagulls or David Bowie. Oh my GOD I still can't get enough of that sound. So thank you for sharing your work, it's freaking perfect!! 😎

The Weeknd: "how did you get the original mix?" 🤔 😂

One day the people will realise that the 80's had the best music

*I REMEMBER WHEN IN GTA VICE CITY ONE OF RADIO STATION PLAY MICHAEL JACKSONS SMOOTH CRIMINAL AND I HOPE IN GTA 6 THE WEEKND SONGS FEATURES FOR SURE*

AMAZING!!!! 🤩🤩🤩🤩

My dad used to tell me all about this song. He said when he was young, it would play on his local city radio and it was moderately popular, for like about a month or two (cuz Weekend hadn't shot up in popularity yet, this was back when he was still calling himself Day Boy). They even played it at my dad's hs prom, a few months before he started dating my mom. But the song fell off pretty quick, and Day Boy was going through his infamous "What days specifically?" name-changing phase, so that took a lot of attention away. Then Christopher Goggins wanted to feature it in the classic 1988 movie "Birdsplash", which then boosted the song so much it had a resurgence on the top 100 charts for that entire year! Everyone's seen the movie and knows it from there, but it's fun to know where it originally came from!

This should be played inside the Malibu Club.

This shit needs to be in the next GTA

It already sounded like it was from the 80’s and you just made it even more like the 80’s

CONGRATULATIONS ON 10K!

woah, Blinding lights already sounds like the 80s, but this remix is the ultimate 80s sound

Perfect. Not too retro, not too vintage. Just perfect

I was literally gonna say, I swear this song was already super 80s, but it actually is mostly synthwave and THIS is 80s lol. The wonderful little differences set this off super well

As a 90's kid music from the 80's is the best!

The 80 's returned. What a song , what memories , love it 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂🎉🎉😊

Synthwave, vaporwave literally have me hooked for some time. I love the 80s vibe man!

Addiction is everywhere Just like I am addicted to this song of your version

Unpopular opinion : Take the background music in Stranger Things 4.

Just when i thought that the song itself wasnt nostalgic enough i see this. Lets be honest the 80s were probably the best 10 years that anyone could experience (right place right time)

I am from this generation but I never know why I love 80s style music 😵

I've been tryna call I've been on my own for long enough Maybe you can show me how to love, maybe I'm going through withdrawals You don't even have to do too much You can turn me on with just a touch, baby I look around and Sin City's cold and empty (oh) No one's around to judge me (oh) I can't see clearly when you're gone I said, ooh, I'm blinded by the lights No, I can't sleep until I feel your touch I said, ooh, I'm drowning in the night Oh, when I'm like this, you're the one I trust (Hey, hey, hey) I'm running out of time 'Cause I can see the sun light up the sky So I hit the road in overdrive, baby, oh The city's cold and empty (oh) No one's around to judge me (oh) I can't see clearly when you're gone I said, ooh, I'm blinded by the lights No, I can't sleep until I feel your touch I said, ooh, I'm drowning in the night Oh, when I'm like this, you're the one I trust I'm just walking by to let you know (by to let you know) I can never say it on the phone (say it on the phone) Will never let you go this time (ooh) I said, ooh, I'm blinded by the lights No, I can't sleep until I feel your touch (Hey, hey, hey) I said, ooh, I'm blinded by the lights No, I can't sleep until I feel your touch

has the weeknd noticed this yet?? this is AMAZING

It's the 1980s and you're in South Africa having to work in terrible conditions with an oppressive government controlling the country while the South African Border War is still raging on. You listen to the nearby cassette radio player and hear "Blind Lights" play. You don't fully understand the lyrics, but you can feel the rush and haste of life emitted by the song. Looking up the sky, you can see the moon shine bright in the sheer expanse of space. You close your eyes as you sit down on a wooden crate, and you forget about all the problems in your life. For just a moment, a small fraction of a minute, you sit in complete bliss and enjoy the life you have.

Please don't stop this type of content. I beg you♥️

Nothing screams white Countach disappearing in a neon sunset more than this song 🌅

Thank you for remaking this masterpiece of a 🎵 *THIS IS TOO GOOD*

Music like this is what’s getting me through 2020

This should on the radio in GTA 6

Bro sounds like crash bandicoot theme song
