He released this album at a very dark point in my life it helped me through. His music has always had perfect timing. I'm so grateful for him. Thank you Abel
I feel like every album and phase of his lined up with my life to this point. Trilogy was a really dark time of my life, Kissland I was entering the unknown world of adulthood, BBTM and star boy was when I went to a different city and grew up and made connections and friends I still have to this day. Mdm was the comedown from all that happy and another reset in my life where things weren’t good. Then this album comes out when I’m finally getting back to normal and bam the Quarantine hits. It’s been an interesting life and I’m happy I had Abel as my soundtrack through my life.
dleeanns He doesn’t produce anything though, he only writes the songs & sings them as far as I know . Actually , Doc McKinney was one of the the executive producers on Starboy album, the sound engineers are the ones who do all the work when it comes to putting a song in correct sequence and making it sound fluid. I’m not hating on the Weeknd the dudes talented as fuck , I’m just saying he’s not the only guy at play when it comes to producing a whole album or a single.
Ceee Ceee you'll have someone someday.. don't let it make u close yourself away from people as the person who you will be with needs to see who you are x
I feel your pain bro(have once been in shoe) but the best thing u can do is go out there and enjoy your single days cause relationship is not an easy thing.... I know she is out there waiting for u...👍👍👍
This is the best song of the EP but my favourite part is that he put everything on RU-vid just like the good old days, we all go though melancholy mate, hope you're not too down! Much love from Australia.
This isn’t his real channel though. His xoxo channel is still up. I’m sure someone from his camp monitors this, but I miss his old channel a lot more lol
Official Twiggz this is xoxxxoooxo, it got combined real weirdly by youtube. just look up his old channel and click on it, and it will show this channel instead. its got everything it has always had
Going thru the TOUGHEST time of my life right now. Experiencing a pain I have NEVER before felt. This song has grabbed ahold of my soul, attempting to console the inconsolable. Thank you for this. 😢
Fuck her new guy lmao. Why wish her happiness with the man she chose over you? That you clearly weren't good enough to compete with? Bitch would have me fucked up lol
My Dear Melancholy is his best project since Trilogy if you ask me. Edit: It's been years since I heard Kiss Land and after a re-listen due to the comments, let me amend my statement. My Dear Melancholy is his best project since Kiss Land.
“And I don’t wanna hear that you were suffering, you were suffering no more... Cause I held you down when you were suffering...you were suffering...” Damn. that really hits deep.
[Verse] Enjoy your privileged life 'Cause I'm not gonna hold you through the night We said our last goodbyes So let's just try to end it with a smile [Pre-Chorus] And I don't wanna hear that you are suffering You are suffering no more 'Cause I held you down when you were suffering You were suffering [Chorus] Blues away, way, way I got two red pills to take the blues away Blues away, way, way I got two red pills to take the blues away [Bridge] And I'ma fuck the pain away, and I know I'll be okay They said our love is just a game, I don't care what they say But I'ma drink the pain away, I'll be back to my old ways And I got two red pills to take the blues away, oh [Outro] I don't wanna hear that no more, no more No more, no more I don't wanna hear that no more
I don’t know why or if I’m the only one but the beginning of the song is so deep specially when he says “ we said our last goodbyes” “let’s just end it with a smile” “I don’t want to hear you are suffering bc I held u down when u were suffering” like it’s just so sweet and u can hear the pain in his voice. He really cared for Selena’s and no one knows what went down in their relationship but the love is still there. He still deeply cares for Selena and I find that so sweet. Like he said “they say our love was just a game but idc what they say”. Only him and Selena knows that their relationship was way more than that
Been a fan since 2011 and after 2015 it had been a while since I was really into a song of his til now... Old school Abel is back. I got the chills back.
I've been listening to HOB since he put it out, and no one, NO ONE was even aware that he existed, except for people in Toronto, ot, montreal ect.. He never gained any international success until juicy j mashed his vocals from montreal into a beat, and he also did the same with the morning.
Then how do you explain me listening to him since March of 2011 when he had only a couple hundred views... Seriously look it up. Look through RU-vid . I found him because a friend posted some of his stuff on his Facebook which was IN MARCH of 2011! I remember it clearly
Anand Anand I never said I didn't like it...I said this hasn't been out that long..just because I called it shit dint mean I don't like it lol...soooooo gtfoh
*LYRICS* [Verse] Enjoy your privileged life 'Cause I'm not gonna hold you through the night We said our last goodbyes So let's just try to end it with a smile [Pre-Chorus] And I don't wanna hear that you are suffering You are suffering no more 'Cause I held you down when you were suffering You were suffering [Chorus] Lose your way, way, way I got two red pills to take the blues away Blues away, way, way I got two red pills to take the blues away [Bridge] And I'ma fuck the pain away, and I know I'll be okay They said our love is just a game, I don't care what they say But I'ma drink the pain away, I'll be back to my old ways And I got two red pills to take the blues away, oh [Outro] I don't wanna hear that no more, no more No more, no more I don't wanna hear that no more *XO TILL WE OVERDOSE* 🤤🖤
Rox ane I think he's referencing to the widely popular meme with the red and blue pill with the two options you can take the blue pill and get one and the red pill and get the other but I think he's using the blue pill to signify depression and the red to signify something good so he's taking two of the red pills (drugs that make him feel good) to get rid of his depression
"We said our last goodbyes, so let's just try to end it with a smile_" that part made me so happy it reminded me of my last relationship when we broke up it ended so badly but later on we had a very long conversation and we had ended it on a good note better than the last time and with a smile on our faces instead of hate and anger
its not a dumb question lol, XO is The Weeknds brand/label but its also a drug mixture of ecstacy and oxycodone(painkiller). So XO Till We Overdose or XOTWOD means to be apart of XO for life or to take the drug until u od on it. It's basically a slogan for the Weeknd and his hardcore fans, he has some merch on his site that has the slogan on it as well
This song, the entire album tbh! Is so close to me! It's sadness which cures sadness! The sympathetic touch, that someone else had gone through a phase,kinda makes you feel better! MDM IS A PERFECT MASTERPIECE!🥺
idk how this song has less views than the others, I think it has the most beautiful melody and its the only song that really made me feel something even though I can't relate to anything he's saying, but thats what makes it so good
Definitely most consider Echoes to be the self-realization tape out of the Trilogy and this would fit perfectly even the production is more gritty than the others on mdm
vlonerist definitely has the vibe/style but in echoes of silence or the other mixtapes the weekend doesnt show his emotions or talk about his personal issues
i've always split the trilogy into 3 parts and to be honest for me it shows even in lyrical content. hob is the rise with the drugs & mischief, thursday of course partially revolves around a relationship with a girl but still maintains the same content, but echoes has always been my favorite of the trilogy because A. the songs and B. some of the lyrical content revolves around his realization into his rising life style (see The Fall & Next). Of course, they're all similar in that aspect, but I've always felt that Echoes is the most introverted of them all. To be completely honest, I've absolutely loved MDM but the closest thing I can compare it to is Kiss Land with crisp Starboy production. Kiss Land was new in the sense of Abel's new experiences and MDM is new in the sense of the role of being heartbroken.(I guess you could say The Knowing is like this too but eh.) Anyway, I've probably gone on too long about it but TLDR I feel like Echoes still had a partial introverted feel to it.
agree with you totally although I feel like a major part of HOB is loneliness (emotionally not physically seen in wicked games coming down etc) which is why that tape is so important to a lot of people including myself.
To anyone that sees this, keep going. I did, I am. Even with a broken heart, even with an immense amount of pain residing in my soul, I am still here. A broken heart is something I do not wish on my worst enemy. Every single day is a fight for me but I’m still going. You can too. I believe in you and I believe good things will happen to you. To anyone going through a rough time, know that you are not alone. I’ve been in the darkest places this life has to offer and I’ve managed to keep going. We will make it, and we will be better than ever. With love, my friends.
This album is art at it's complete finest. Many people will just see 6 songs and will listen to it and enjoy it, but there is a deeper meaning when you listen to the song. You listen for the tone and the lyric. This album represents the aftermath of a break up, a relationship which you were genuinely affected by it. Every song is like a stage in the aftermath. The first song, "Call Out My Name", represents the initial affect after you lose someone because they fucked you over. It shows a heavy pain you experience, a very angry time where you just want to blame them for everything. You also start to regret things and you start blaming them for things that went wrong. You also think of things you've done for them, because sometimes you wouldn't ever do these things for someone unless you really loved them, "I almost cut a part of my life away for you". They chorus is very heavy in a sense of complete anger and putting the pain out. The second song, "Try Me", the pain is still there, however you're looking at more of a brighter side. You're looking things that you are capable of. You're slowly starting to heal. You're heading towards loving yourself again. The 3rd and 4th songs, "Wasted Times" and "I Was Never There", these are next phases of the aftermath where you start comparing your first real love to the previous one. You start realizing that more and more than nothing will compare to that first relationship because all this time you were blinded from this previous relationship, thinking you had moved on, but now you're realizing you were wrong. In the 5th song, "Hurt You", you're in this phase where you're doing things to move on, like hooking up with people, but refraining from a having a label. And I think a lot of us do this. When you hook up someone, you don't want them to fall for you, because at the same time, you're still healing and you still have feelings for that previous person. At this stage, you just want to heal by hooking up, you don't want to hurt that person you're hooking up with. The last song "Privilege" is a very beautiful and well written song. Everyone copes with a breakup somehow. For Abel, that pain and anger has declined, he is now at the point where he just wants to end the connection and memory with a smile. A smile usually means someone is content. He is content now. He is beginning to move on. He is coping with the break up by fucking the pain, doing drugs, drinking the pain away, and then he'll be back to his old ways. This song has a real deep meaning. This whole album I feel everyone can relate to it. No matter how hard you you are, you deal with a loss the same way most people do. At these songs are stages of a healing person after a tumultuous relationship.
shonyfreshayzzz yes I feel exactly the same, if you find a similar part like this on any song, please tell me the song! Because I feel I heard something like this sometimes long ago (like 4 years or so) but can't remember where from…
A lot of the weeknd's older projects have that vibe and sonic nuances in his songs. It's what makes it that moody and dark R&B. I would listen to his trilogy and kiss land album. Songs like: as you are, the party and after party, D.D, same old song, loft music, kiss land, the birds pt 2, the zone, coming down (mixtape version not remastered, go on mixtape monkey ) have these production elements
Bro, YES. I remember I would sing this a year ago after a nasty breakup and it got to me every single time. Something about singing the falsetto just fills one with emotion, and you're letting it out. Kinda reminds me of a tea kettle when it gets hot? Idk lol
"oh ... And I don't wanna hear that you are suffering You are suffering, no more ..." And If the music is only made of this part, I can will be hear it forever.

They said our love is just a game, I don't care what they say But I'ma drink the pain away, I'll be back to my old ways And I got two red pills to take the blues away.
