The Weeknd - Sacrifice 

The whole album is a masterpiece, the transitions between some songs are mind blowing, my favourite is between Best Friends and Is there someone else? . Abel never disappoints, putting the extended version of Take my breath on the album was a brave but undoubtedly wonderful decision. You can hear the work behind every single piece, the atmosphere of the interludes leaves you with an immersive experience. It doesn’t feel like a normal album, it creates a more personal impression, it feels like you’re part of it while you’re listening.

You just know Abel is going to create the most incredible cinematics for this era 🌅🖤

*Lyrics:* I was born in a city Where the winter nights don't ever sleep So this life's always with me The ice inside my veins will never bleed My, ooh My, ooh Everytime you try to fix me I know you'll never find that missing piece When you cry and say you miss me I lie and tell you that I'll never leave But I sacrificed (Sacrificed) Your love for more of the night (Of the night) I try to put up a fight (Up a fight) Can't tie me down I don't wanna sacrifice For your love, I try I don't wanna sacrifice But I love my time My, ooh My, ooh I hold you through the toughest parts When you feel like it's the end Cause life is still worth living Yeah, this life is still worth living I can break you down and pick you up And f*ck like we are friends But don't be catching feelings Don't be out here catching feelings Cause I sacrificed (Sacrificed) Your love for more of the night (Of the night) I try to put up a fight (Up a fight) Can't tie me down (Down) I don't wanna sacrifice For your love, I try I don't wanna sacrifice But I love my time I don't wanna sacrifice For your love, I try I don't wanna sacrifice But I love my time My, ooh Oh, baby I hope you know that I, I tried Oh, baby I hope you know I love my time (I don't wanna sacrifice) (I don't wanna) I try (I don't wanna sacrifice) (But I love my) My time My, ooh My, ooh

The weeknd is in my opinion the Michael jackson of the 2010s and onwards. 1. The tone of his voice is so majestic 2. Every time he performs and sings he has like an aura around him, like he is untouchable 3. All the songs give 80s-90s, mysterious and atmospheric vibe 4. Every single performance and music video is 120% and next level. What a legend!

Ironically, The Weeknd music is perfect for any day of the week.

Fact: Everyone agrees that The Weeknd is making everyone's day better with his songs

Dawn FM is my favorite Weeknd album, and I’ve been listening to him since the beginning. I don’t think this album will get the love it deserves until well into the future.

My father always said… “Life isn’t fun without a struggle in it, but some struggles lead to tragic endings.”

The Weeknd is in his prime right now. Jim Carrey is perfect as the narrator.

This Weeknd album is a different era in the music world. At the beginning I just listened to the album without a thread and found it strange at first, but this morning during my walk I listened to the album from beginning to end and I have to say: Wow. It was made with so much love. Every detail is on point. It just makes you feel good on the Dawn FM radio station and just makes you want to go out and dance. Weeknd is one of the most kick ass artists of our generation in my opinion, and I'm lucky to be alive in his lifetime. Awesome!

This album is super vibes of Daft Punk and Michael Jackson, a futuristic and eighties aura at the same time, what art, excellent translation...

Simply the best and charismatic voice of the century hands down!!

Weeknd has that Michael Jackson vibes on these Retro songs & it’s sounding awesome 🔥🔥

This album becomes a part of you… it syncs with you.. he is nothing like other artists, he drops quality and quantity. Abel, the earth is 5 billion years old, and I’m just grateful to be living at the same time to witness and listen to beautiful piece of art. 🔥

Wrestlemania 38 couldn't have done it without his song

The fact this doesn’t have 100 million is a CRIME!

I love that The Weeknd is trying to bring back that disco feeling mixed with the music of this decade. Absolutely love it

I kinda get Thriller vibes from this

THE WEEKEND MAKES THE 80s LOOK COOL AGAIN

This dude has been in his prime since he started this journey

80's retro style still has a vibe😍

Sacrifice literally entered top 1 after 10 minutes of being first played on stream. I’ve been listening to it since the beginning, can’t wait to see more of the story, you’re a legend!

WrestleMania 38 Vibes😄

Simply the best and charismatic voice of the century hands down!! Weeknd is so dope. I can't stop watching this track again and again. I am sure he will be #1 soon due to 💖 a u t h e n t I c v i e w s 💖

Huge Michael Jackson Thriller vibes he even pays homage by not just the beat and the style of singing but also the dance moves at end of the vid❤️🔥💯

This song got the Thriller vibes

WrestleMania 38 Theme song I'm Here In 2024 After That Event

And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment: (Hebrews 9:27) I also will choose their delusions, and will bring their fears upon them; because when I called, none did answer; when I spake, they did not hear: but they did evil before mine eyes, and chose that in which I delighted not. (Isaiah 66:4) And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire. (Revelation 20:15) I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish. (Luke 13:5)

He must have a whole world in his head, because his scenarios seem so real and connected to every single album he does... so catching

The Weeknd doesn't need The Grammys, because The Grammys needs The Weeknd.

This song always remind me of WrestleMania 38🖤✨️

This man struggled for ten years in Toronto. Then daft punk a german group of killer sound technicians joined with him.They are amazing together right!

Weeknd just never misses, this is fire!

The reason why this bassline is so damn bouncy is its absolutely goated syncopation. The bass only plays along on beats 2 and 3, but not 1 and 4. The result is just this crazy groove that never gets old. Good shit Abel.

You just know Abel is going to create the most incredible cinematics for this era

I love that The weekend is trying to bring back that disco feeling mixed with the music of this decade. Absolutely love it.

The Weeknd’s songs always put you in different moods

Imagina tener tanto talento al grado que te lleva a otro mundo tu música y lo que escribes, un sueño para muchos y una realidad para Abel.

i love the juxtaposition of the disco beat and the sad bridge/chorus. the eerie/psychedelic visuals bring the two together. he wants this person to keep loving him, presumably because it keeps him going… but not as much as his solitude does. nothing seems to trump that, because it’s his most natural form, the easiest route to serenity. love, and the vulnerability that comes with sharing your heart with another is a foreign concept. an invasion… of peace.

In my opinion, there are no bad songs on this album, I love all of em Love Dawn FM

this whole album is just as Abel described. I really feel like I'm kinda dancing while driving thru a tunnel that never ends and I love that feeling and the breeze... it's calm and exciting at the same time and I'll get to the light when it's time. then Phantom Regret comes on and I know the time has come cause it hits HARD like a bright light in my face - but I'll just listen to the whole album again and again. and I can't stop listening. it's mesmerizing.

i’m gonna miss the weekend era but i can’t wait for the abel era

His voice is so terrific. Abel is someone who is always developing, never stops! he pulls his thing through, therefore all of his songs are hits. Respect!

From what I gathered so far: Dawn FM is The Weeknd's older self essentially warning his younger self to slow down with the fame and everything that comes with it (the rush). Also admitting regrets and telling his younger self to do better. Jumping back, older self is stuck in Purgatory and he has to review all his mistakes. It's phenomenal when you know how it pieces together. The more you listen, the clearer it becomes. It's crazy how this mimics how After Hours was initially viewed versus how it was later understood throughout the week.

This must be like the official Wrestlemania album.

2022 Wrestlemania 38 Night 1 Rey Mysterio and Dominik Mysterio vs The Miz and Logan Paul Becky Lynch vs Bianca Belair CharlotteFlair vs Ronda Rousey Night 2 Brock Lesnar vs Roman Reigns 2024 Wrestlemania 40 Philadelphia Night 1 Seth Rollins and Cody Rhodes vs The Rock and Roman Reigns Night 2 Roman Reigns vs Cody Rhodes

This jam is giving me 80's Michael Jackson vibes and I am down for it! Love this song!!!

Until I bleed out is the final song on after hours and at the end of the music video he's on the floor. This music video starts off with Abel in some sort of plane between life and death. He sees a light (the dawn) and goes towards it leading him to wake up on the floor in some new world. It signifies a new beginning and this continuation between albums is why I love the weeknd.

Deadlift workout music right here 💖 *a u t h e n t I c v i e w s* 💖 dun took Weeknd oFf 2 da big leagues and for dat I will always be super grate

Even "take my breath" and "sacrifice" is enough to like this album two absolute bops

the choreography, visuals, and storytelling matches the 80s style too fucking well. feels like a reimagined video from that era

As to how this hasn't hit a billion views yet is surprising, it's a visual and musical masterpiece!

This song hits at next level during midnight drives,i feel like singing this song on the road with my car parked on the side of the road Thank you The WEEKND for masterpieces like blinding lights ,the hills ,i was never there and many more ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

This sound is chilling, the entire era in fact, the evolution of each era is notorious, simply brilliant.

The whole album is more than fantastic. The scenes in which transitions are used are perfectly timed. AMAZING $!!!

Wrestlemania 38 BABY!!!

Thanks WWE that is was the Wrestlemania 38 theme

This intro sounds like thriller by Michael Jackson and I like it. Every single note from this song are amazing!

The Weeknd bringing back the 80's.

This is one of those songs that if I said I could play it 50 times in a row & never get sick of it, I’d be telling the truth!!! ❤

Why this song is not on a billion views I will never understand. Let's take it to a billion views. 🔥🇪🇹

Anyone else instantly hear the musical break in Thriller? Don’t know if it’s officially sampled but so much MJ influence here. So good.

The way The Weekend's songs are so unique just makes listening to them so worth it😌

How I wish Micheal could hear this rn

He is evolving the music industry, not only dors he sing, he creates masterpieces with meaning, visuals and music

*I was born in a city* *Where the winter nights don't ever sleep* *So this life is always with me* This part gives me goosebumps Edit: Thank you for all the likes!!

This and take my breath away blend so well together. They sound so similar.

One of the greatest voices in today's music and this is coming from someone spoiled by the golden ages of music !❤I love the Weekend!❤

still a banger in 2024

3:47 this style of Michael Jackson's dance 😍

I love the retro feel, so sick

Abel deserves the Hollywood walk of fame star ...he is a legend!!!!!!❤

A year on and this song is criminally underrated and so is the album

The Weeknd just doesn’t seem to miss. Not only is he one of the most consistent artists in the industry, but he is able to pump out albums without having to sacrifice the quality nor starve his audience by waiting too long to drop. He’s always perfectly positioned in the sweet spot. It’s something I greatly admire as an aspiring artist myself. God knows I don’t have any where near the talent Abel possesses, but my goal for this year is to just improve the quality of my beats and create the best music I am capable of, even if it never matches up to this masterpiece of an album. Just happy to be a part of the same universe, even if I never have more than 500 fans! Love you Abel! Thanks for another classic album!

When you think current music will never be as good as the oldies, you have music from The Weeknd to give you hope.

The Weeknd 2024💯✅🔥

WRESTLEMANIA!!!!!

There’s not a single skippable song on this album. It just flows all together. Modern Motown & 80s Japanese pop style that’s dark. Telling a thematic story. While having Jim Carey narrate like it’s the 60s with outer space radio host & channel. People don’t understand how unique & great this album is! Probably my favorite 1.

His artistry fills all of the senses that nobody can compete with. I can smell the funk dripping off this track. Absolutely delicious.

Bro never made a bad song

THE MOST STUPENDOUS WRESTLEMANIA 38

you can really tell that the weeknd was influenced by french electro music artists like Justice, Kavinsky, Daft Punk, Gasaffelstein and so on. His singing voice which is influenced by singers like prince and michael jackson fits like a glove for this type of music. The combination makes him unique and the, in my opinion, best pop artist in his generation.

This album is refreshing, reminds me of Michael Jackson, Prince, so much taken from the 80s and I fucking love it. The Weeknd and his team killed it! 😩🎶

How did this track not get a billion views

Don’t sacrifice your love weekend 🥺💙

lyrics : I was born in a city Where the winter nights don't ever sleep So this life's always with me The ice inside my veins will never bleed My, ooh My, ooh Uh, every time you try to fix me I know you'll never find that missing piece When you cry and say you miss me I'll lie and tell you that I'll never leave But I sacrificed (sacrificed) Your love for more of the night (of the night) I try to put up a fight (up a fight) Can't tie me down (down) I don't wanna sacrifice For your love, I try I don't wanna sacrifice But I love my time My, ooh My, ooh I hold you through the toughest parts When you feel like it's the end 'Cause life is still worth living Yeah, this life is still worth living I can break you down and pick you up And fuck like we are friends But don't be catching feelings Don't be out here catching feelings 'cause I sacrificed (sacrificed) Your love for more of the night (of the night) I try to put up a fight (up a fight) Can't tie me down (down) I don't wanna sacrifice For your love, I try I don't wanna sacrifice But I love my time I don't wanna sacrifice For your love, I try I don't wanna sacrifice But I love my time Oh, baby I hope you know that I, I tried Oh, baby (baby) I hope you know I love my time, oh I don't wanna sacrifice I don't wanna, I try (hey) I don't wanna sacrifice But I love my, my time My, ooh My, ooh

I’m gonna tell my kids that this man carried good music for a whole generation.

WrestleMania 38 baby.. ♡

2024?! ❤

Not only is this album immaculate, the videos are clean af 😭

This song gives me a lot of "Da Funk" vibes. I loved it. If you are a Daft Punk fan, it's impossible not to love this album.

The best song by Dawn FM, it takes you to another universe as soon as you listen to it

The edit when the chorus comes in for the first time is so amazing! It has me mesmerized.

Man this album was something else i swear, especially those transitions..Instant chills.

I'm loving the 80s vibe in his recent music. I'm a pure metal head but man I'm a sucker for 80s

I'll never forget that I heard this song at WrestleMania 38 🩵

it's amazing how i can feel on cloud nine at the "ooh baby" part, it's a really indescribable feeling

Wwe choose this music as Their wrestlemania theme song

Look a lot of people are complaining that this album is trash and that they want the "old" Weeknd from 'Trilogy' back but I love this album! It has an 80's morning radio, disco vibe! And it's also a mix between the 'Kiss Land' and 'Starboy' albums! Of course we have different opinions but just respect each other's opinion! ✊🏼🙏🏼

Words will never be able to express how amazing this man is. He is super creative, intriguing, mysterious, dark, gory, yet beautiful. There really is beauty behind the madness. The album is incredible. Just listening to this song makes me want to listen to the whole album again. I love how his music videos are like episodes. They pick up where they left off, but into a different video and different song, but they all are connected, and correlate in some form or fashion. He's brilliant, and handsome. That's a dangerous combo. No one will ever hold a candle to Michael Jackson, but a lot of things that The Weeknd does, definitely reminds me of MJ. Abel is something special, in every way imaginable and possible. ❤
