actually u didn't listening alone cus also me listening trilogy that time till tomorrow i awake then continue kissland while driving !... Wait an hours, was it we still called alone listening or no ahh who cares but trilogy was homes of Xo !❤️
@Anish Jha finally. I swear The Weeknd fans can be super snobbish for no reason. All his shit is good. It may not be equally good, but we enjoy it all.
@@Chechii773 People confused trilogy for an album and its not, its a compilation of the songs from his three critically acclaimed mixtapes House of Balloons, Thursday, and Echoes of Silence. Its remastered and re-mixed so it can be sold for commercial retail use because the samples weren’t cleared since The Weeknd wasn’t big during that time to get them cleared. There is a huge difference in the sound with trilogy and mixtape trilogy sound like with Birds PT II, what you need, the morning as the most notable examples for it. It was good at the time to introduce The Weeknd to the mainstream people but now the only thing it has going good for it, its three bonus tracks as the finale tracks for each of the three; Twenty Eight, Valerie, and Till Dawn (Here comes the sun.) Its fine if you like the compilation trilogy no complaints but preferably with me I prefer the mixtape version a lot more and plus thats how the trilogy is supposed to be listen too.
I've played TheWeeknd while we all pass the auxiliary cord around and I always get that "why's this shit so depressing?" "This is sad take it off" "why you play this for?" And I realized his "sad" music has always made me happy & calm. xoxxxoooxo
this song isnt sad, but its not made for car rides. id only listen to this alone in the car while its raining maybe. you have to learn to read the room
TBH I thought part 1 was better so I never paid attention to this one but holy shit I was missing out! , it's like every song has its own phase when you like them a lot
Yea the crying was Thursday girl notice when she's crying then the beat comes in that was Wednesday girl killing Thursday girl , also when he says " baby got her pleading" Thursday girl was on the floor pleading for her life
The Weeknds old work is so unappreciated. EDIT: WHY EVERYONE IN THE COMMENTS TRYING TO GET ALL MAD SAYING IT IS AND I MUST NOT BE A REAL FAN LMAO I BEEN LISTENING TO THE WEEKND SINCE 2010 WHEN HE WAS UNDERGROUND. AND YES IT IS UNAPPRECIATED BC ITS HIS BEST WORK AND MANY DONT REALIZE IT. Hoes
Can’t believe that I walked 9 years of my life without knowing about this. Since I discovered this I’ve been pumping it non stop and will probably do it for the rest of my life
This is the most theatrical, incredible performance from a male vocalist ive ever heard. Hes wailing on the track in perfect pitch and tone. Ridiculous
one of the things that makes this song so fantastic is the amount of emotion in it. You can tell he really feels what hes saying, making it real and honest
Dedicated to my crazy ex-girlfriend. Dont miss you at all mami. I try to kiss you... but, you never let me miss you. You never let me miss you. I though I told you. Im not him, Im not him.
Guys, i don’t know if there s still somebody listening to this song, but i was high in the Red Lights District in Amsterdam, under the rain and the red neons for a few nights... It was a weird amazing creepy and exhilarating feeling. It’s an undescribable beauty...
@@Zanitat completely disagree. I find that in different scenarios, one sound will sound better than another. It’s not really that they are sonically better, but that they prey of emotions. That’s just me though
His old music sounded really really dark (which made it amazing of course) but I’m really happy for him that he seems to not me in that state of mind anymore? He seems happier and healthier which makes me happy for him :) (also I just realized that this comment was from 5 years ago lmao)
don't get me wrong, I love can't feel my face and his new stuff but it upsets me that some people won't appreciate the true artistry of this song and other off of the trilogy and kissland
+Bun Biek Daiyn Goforth made a really good point and just cuz the Majority of people think the weeknd and Michael Jackson soun at least a bit alike doesn't mean they're young...in fact that has nothing to do with it. some of the people who think they do are probably older that you tbh
Wow. I'm in love with this man. This was always my go-to crying song because I've been through this. He put me through hell and back and I still somehow care. I remember all the nights I would put my headphones in and listen to this song, silently crying for the pain to go away. All the times I would leave school with a smile on my face but then immediately fall to the ground in tears, for I cared and he didn't for shit. Hardest shit and hardest time I ever had to go through. 2018 was truly my year of heartbreak. Now he came back, a little more than a month ago. Apologizing for everything, admitting to the shit he put me through and that he's truly sorry, that he does care for me. We've been talking since. But I can't help but remember the days and weeks and months of pain he put me through. More than a year of bs. I'm 17. No one my age that I know of has gone through heartbreak as long and hard as mine. No one I know understands or comprehends the pain I was put through. It hurt like a bitch and I'm scared I'm getting myself back in the same situation. Because to this day I don't believe he understands the mass amount of pain he passed down upon me. And because of that, there is no gaurentee that what happened once won't happen again.
I used to listen to this song when I was heart broken, I still do. But those were some good old times now I don’t really care about most of the people Much except some and listen to heartless in repeat. Idk it’s been three years if you’d see this or not but idk why im quite curious on what happened next in your love life?
Whoa, with a nigga like me Whoa, with a nigga like me She said please, mercy me, mercy me Let me fall outta love, before you fuck her, before you fuck her She begged me, she gave me all her pills Now my back hurts, she lost control Now she pleading, she on the floor, she on the floor Baby got her pleading, she on the floor, she on the floor She said it won't be long before she falls out of love It won't be long before she falls out of love Sandpaper kisses, papercut bliss Don't know what this is, but it all leads to this You're gonna leave her You have deceived her You're just a bird Just a bird I tried to kiss you But you never let me miss you But you never let me miss you I thought I told you I'm not him, I'm not him Look at what you did, nobody forced your hand And don't you fall for a nigga like me, I begged, I begged Now you're pleading, she on the floor, she on the floor Now you're pleading, she on the floor, she on the floor She said it won't be long before she falls out of love It won't be long, before she falls out of love Sandpaper kisses, papercut bliss Don't know what this is, but it all leads to this You're gonna leave her (If she only knew) You have deceived her You're just a bird (Just a bird) Just a bird (Just a bird) Just a bird (Just a bird) Just a bird (Just a bird) Just a bird (Just a bird) Just a bird (Just a bird) Just a bird
just an fyi the gunshot in the beginning is the thursday girl killing another girl (the other girl is crying). If you listen to the lyrics its as if the weeknd had a flashback with a previous girl that fell in love, and kept in control with drugs. When the drugs faded, she lost control. then moved on to her pleading saying "Now she pleading" and "baby got her pleading," " she says it wont be long till she falls out of love" she is begging for her life from the thursday girl at the beginning. The weeknd soon later says to the thursday girl "nobody forced your hand"... " look what you did" ironically the thursday girl gets too attached and doesnt let the weeknd miss her. She falls in love and then now SHE is the one pleading "Now you are pleading, she's on the floor she's on the floor, Now you're pleading" and that she swears she will fall out of love, so just wait for her to fall out of love before he moves on.. Plus in this pic the thursday is pointing the gun at someone else.
I remember when I would walk around London listening to the trilogy album... It was a truly special feeling. Feel quite honored I got to experience the album like that. It's the right vibe.
yes..because supposedly the girl loves him so much that she cant take him being with some1 else.. that's why you hear gunshots, and that's why the song is called the birds ( synonym for guys/girls who are hitters and quitters :P much like birds, flying where they want.. never staying in one spot )
sup bud. The metaphore of birds Its not that about hitters and quitters but more about being free of any attatchment. Birds can fly and leave anywhere with ease without having to look back, thus making some birds follow another bird for they are emotionnally attatched to when he decides to leave and fly away(Abel!): if you let him go without following him from behind, you will lose sight of him since he's a ''free bird'', a bird without attatchment to any other bird, who will not stay at one place for any other bird, a bird who can fly anywhere with nothing holding him back.... This explaining the girl crying and shooting (at Abel).. since yea, a dead bird cannot fly :) Here is your explanation, I feel that Abel man, completely deattached
Brianna Arredondo it’s aquarius nature they need to have their own space and freedom. If you’re too clingy with them they won’t like that, they need to miss you in order to really want you.
The weeknd has good music taste , if yall didnt know the female voice in the background is martina topley-bird & also the song title was named after her name
I remember playing The Weeknd in 2009 when he was coming up. Till this day I listen to the birds and the triology best music he’s ever made. Don’t get me wrong he’s new work is good to but the old weeknd is better
Part 1: About a girl that likes him but he told her not to fall in love with him because he doesn't like her. Part 2: She kills her self because he didn't like her and now he is feeling as if it's his fault
This is why OG Xo fans have an issue with the fidty shades and Starboy fans who refused to appreciate his old music while we were always shoving it in their faces, they called us weird but we always knew he was one of the greatest.
This brings back such a warm feeling. I remember getting ready to this for the first day of my Freshman year in High school, I’m 25 now .. crazy how it still hits ✨ will FOREVER be one of my favorite songs !!
This song will always embody the essence of The Weeknd for me... remember coming across this song in 011 one day, from then i knew as an artist he had created something timeless, a whole new genre.
