The Weeknd - Until I Bleed Out (Official Video) REACTION! 

Intro The Weeknd: I... Jon: :)

The very end sounds like the beginning of the After Hours song. Will that be the next video?

Go back and watch the music video for The Zone from Thursday. This video has many similarities to that video

john , the instagram videos that leaked some songs were the bonus tracks 😭😂

Please do another Mac album reaction! 💙

💯💯

React to 6lacks recent album

REACT TO NINA KRALJIĆ

He's in a house of balloons surrounded by glass tables and girls. ICONIC

there is a moment when he is under the glass table with a sculpted girl, people are interpreting it as glass table girl(s)

I think the house he’s in is his what his mind is like, complete chaos (also the House of Balloons). You could also say maybe in a coma due to him ODing at the end of FAITH which transitions into blinding lights. I think In Your Eyes is apart of the dream he’s having while he’s still unconscious and this is a continuation. The people in this video were holding him back from escaping, which can be a play on his demons. In Faith he says the demons tryna put him back in his grave. And when he’s in like the quote on quote desert (maybe his grave) that could be his mind without the chaos. Or how he’s even given up and he’s back to his old self, he’s in this cycle that he cannot get out of. Just an idea, kinda hard to explain through text than talking out loud lol. Lemme know what yall think. Absolutely brilliant XOTWOD

Drake: Drops simplistic Toosie Slide The Weeknd: Let me show you what artistry and real music is

the video is deeper than a lot think, it involves glass tables, balloons resembling the trilogy era. Also, the asian girls from the kissland era. Towards the end he ends up in a dessert by himself showing that he has escaped all of it. It shows that he is trying to move on and get away from his past and he does.

You have to listen to juicy j ft The Weeknd -one of those nights !!!!

I just find it weird how Abel and his team have not promoted this music video. It’s been out for hours, and they’re usually spamming their social media accounts promoting new videos but not this one

This song hits me hard in a personal level first time I heard it I legit cried 💔🤕

It's safe to say that this is an XO channel now

My interpretation of this video is that He’s high and starting to come down, so he’s starting to realize this isn’t what he wants anymore. The balloons represents House of balloons (obviously) and everyone around him represents people who enjoys his old music and prefers him to be on drugs. They see he’s hurt and don’t care because they just want to be entertained. The people dressed in black are his demons and fans dragging him down wanting him to stay in his old ways. But he’s fighting his way out, he’s fighting his urges to get high again because he doesn’t want to be that type of person anymore. He’s in a cycle and every time he tries to stop he just ends up falling back to his old ways. He then realizes when he’s sober there’s no one around him. He’s alone in the cold realizing he lost his fans due to wanting to be sober and him losing his love because it was to late to change. I believe in the end when he’s looking straight into the camera, he’s right back to where he started, coming to a conclusion that this is all he has now and decides to stay in the high.

Crazy idea: Story time with Jon Denton??

You see the “House of ballons” reference with the people pulling him back to his old ways. He may not necessarily want to get rid of his past or that style of music but more-so wants get away from the drug abuse, sex, and everything else that he has lived through. The majority of this album talks about him and his love for Bella, and living like the way he used to would fringe his current emotions and or feelings. Just a thought and I know there probably more stuff to talk about in this video but I’d be writing a whole book by then😂 Then again that’s what keeps us coming back because there’s always something new to discover in his songs, to me the true definition of an ARTIST. XOTWOD!!

The music video just reminds me of House of balloons

Abel said there will be a lot of videos for this album. I can't wait for the next one!!!

this was the house of balloons that after many years he escaped and matured from

Love this channel , never ever stop doing what you do :)

“I had a great time, I saw the Incredible Hulk” that part made me laugh so much.

Great vid Jon BUT U NEED TO LISTEN TO GIFTED

This is my favorite song on the album. So heavy and hypnotizing.

The weeknd has more unreleased songs and i am happy that he has more of him too come plus he is going to be dropping more album videos for the songs and merch lets goooooo

Swear to god there's a House of Balloons & Thursday reference in this video but I'm not smart enough to get it 😅

Pleaseeee listen and React to The weeknd’s Where you belong, Down low, Or nah, Crew love(ft Drake)

I had the SAME experience this song for some reason felt so much more powerful when I watched the video I'm so in love with it now

This video is pure art

It feels like this will be he's last album before he disappear from the spotlight...

Clicked instantly and dropped what I was doing!!

This song’s so underrated. Loved this as the ending song.

Yo denton. I know u most likely will never see this comment but ill write it anyways just out of pure desperation lmao. You should check out and react to an artist called Khordelia. He has a similar vibe as the weeknd, mixed with a bit of trip hop. He only has one album, which is a fucking masterpiece (I mean, that album is literally as good as trilogy in my opinion) and after he dropped it he dissapeared from earth. Literally no interviews, no nothing. Just dropped this masterpiece and then dipped. Anyways, for any fellow xo fans reading or Jon for that matter, please just check him out. Khordelia, listen to one song, and then BAM you´re hooked. Peace out.

The way Abel takes you into a journey in his mind in this song and specially in the whole album is just incredible.

You're not the only one who thinks that this song is hitting differently coz it is having its own moment. I heard this song twice or thrice only when this album was on loop for 2-3 days straight. But after that I only listened those songs which I added to my playlist and this was not one of them coz it was the last track. But while watching this mv, this song started growing on me and I was like "Why did I not pay attention to this song before?". Maybe it's the music video or maybe it's the fact that this song is finally getting the spotlight has made it so much better for me.

Jon you should react to Daniel Ceasars freudian album! Its pretty good i think that youd enjoy it and id love to see you react to it :)

Never would I have thought I would be watching a cacausian fella talking about the weeknd but uno this guy has really got me watching him keep it up brodi

A lot of symbolism throughout the video. Personally,I interpreted the people pulling him down as the drugs obviously,they are pulling him down,but also as the old fans,or the trilogy stans. They won't let him do the music he wants to do,they always want him to do the trilogy sound. Also a lot of call backs to older stuff. The glass table girl,the balloons,the imagery as the zone video,the goat from call out my name video. A lot of symbolism that needs a few rewatches to catch. Have a nice day Jon sorry for the long paragraph.

Waiting on some more singles and remix reactions you gotta do remember you

Black Atlass album is soo good too. He is signed to XO as well. The weeknd posted his album on his Instagram when it came out

I love how jon smiles when he hears Abel voice! Its not the first time he does it and i love it.

SO MANY CAMEOS TO HIS PAST ALBUMMMM

Hey jon really really intrested as to what your favourite song was from the after hours album? Cheers big fan!

Seems like your mate was in his own house of balloons. Stay safe everyone.

U a Chelsea fan hakim ziyech is coming💥😹

This what happens when you choose Vegas over heaven

1st

As you're currently in this XO session doing black atlass too, I think you should try belly at some point, maybe people will recommand one of the records cuz I honestly can't choose, but he is worth listening to

He's not a bird anymore, reminded me of The zone where the girl crying sitting on a sofa, he's not crying but he's numb n sad. I think the girls who are dragging him down in this video are all the girls he had in all the previous years of trilogy, and now he can't fly cause of the sadness n darkness.

You look like jenson button

I'm so glad you reacted to Black Atlas, I found out about him few years ago and I've been a fan for a while now. I hope this album draws more attention to him honestly. And ofc LOVE all The Weeknd videos XO 🔥

1. The video basically draws reference to his earlier work (cult favorites): Trilogy and KissLand. The actual balloons, obviously represent House Of Balloons but the colours of the balloons represent the colour pallet from Thursday and then costume design-wise, his outfit uses colours inspired by Echoes Of Silence. 2. If you guys ever paid close attention to his earlier videos from Trilogy and KissLand era, the girls in the video were usually always the center of attention while he basically just used to sit/stand and sing while they danced for/around him or whatever - but now he’s the one center stage. Also, the women used each represent the women from the time of The Zone, Glass Table Girls, KissLand, etc.. 3. I really feel like once we’ve had all the videos released, we’ll be able to re-arrange them in chronological order and make sense of the actual narrative he’s been telling visually. XOTWOD!

Lana del Rey born to die reaction?????? Where is ittttt

U must react to Lana Del Rey’s Born to Die Paradise Edition release. ASAP

Abel is such a true once in a lifetime creative. Seriously this song and album speaks for itself. I love it so much i even remixed myself (it would mean the world to me if anyone could give it just once chance) anyways thank you Abel, i know youre just getting started - just another fan Xotwod

This is basically a big Easter egg to House of Balloons/Glass table girls

the weeknd is literally going round in circles wih these videos

Hey Jon, I've been bumping Big KRIT's album 4eva is a Mighty Long Time. I'd love to see you react to it.

Ok, so I've checked out 'Black Atlass' & I love it! Damn, he's good & very similar sound to Abel. Thanks John for the recommendation.👌

What a colossal job this album is, there will be many other albums, very good ones but this one is the quintessence of Abel's career no other will be able to match it, it is unique in quality and depth, the album of a lifetime, for 4 years I have listened to it once a week, that's an understatement and Until i Bleed out is the culmination of this monumental work.

When the after hours single came out I was dancing in my living room on lsd lol

React to I told you by tory lanez!!!! Easily his best project production wise and has some really underrated bangers!

Love how he tells a story throughout an album

the video shows there is some turbulence in the HOUSE OF BALLOONS...maybe because of the kind of relations he has had now he wants forget them, cut them out of his dream , his past......but then he will be ALONE AGAIN!!!

Some albums you should try: Care for Me - Saba Doris - Earl Sweatshirt I Don't Like Shit - Earl Sweatshirt Pieces of a Kid (fanmade mixtape) - Isaiah Rashad

I cried to this song but a slowed version. I wanna cut the sins out of my life. I don't want to hurt God anymore

in my opinion, as the confetti falls unendingly and the people are grabbing him it's his old life telling him that "THE PARTY ISNT OVER. IT WILL NEVER BE OVER" and his struggle to try to escape it. Quite a frightening visual display.

Another dope video Jon, keep em coming. This one reminded me a lot of the video for The Zone, if you haven't seen it you should definitely give it a reaction if you get the chance! Respect brother 💪

I think everything means something in this video. No way Abel would have balloons on the ground if it did not symbolize something because he knows we would all assume it does

Third like And first comment yaaaay

this song is honestly my fave on the entire album. great video! keep it up.

Hey Jon! I have recently seen your Blonde reaction and as a fan of Frank and his music I want to highly recommend you probably my favourite youtube video: Frank Ocean - Blonde Tribute ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-F5WWyyYG018.html It has amazing visuals and nostalgic vibe. Transitions between songs give me life and I will be honoured to have you recording reaction to this video! Ofc it isn’t anything new from Frank, it is just compilation of the most emotional songs on the album at one video. Hope that you will consider my suggestion!

With the music video I've rediscovered the music, I've listened it so much time but it doesn't sound the same with the video

Maybe Abel try to escape to the house of balloon and people or his past or the story of trilogy's album don't want to leave him and is blocked . I saw a comment who just explain my point of view of this song and the video : "ani.xvi _ I love how this video incorporates references from (trilogy),Thursday, House of balloons, Echoes of silence and Kissland. The balloons itself represent the HOB, the colours of the balloons represent Thursday and the colour of Abels suit represent EOS. The video itself is set in the house of balloons while a number of things take place. Each of the females represented in the video (Glass table girls, valarie, the zone, Thursday and Kissland girl) show the struggles Abel has faced prior to his years to stardom. In which, it highlights his past sex crazed drug and alcohol life. The irony is now that the focus is shifted onto Abel instead of the girl in the ‘The Zone’ with him being the centre of it all. The visuals on a whole, are both theatrical and symbolical with great references of his past work. My king has done it once again"

If you want to know all the little secrets and theories, you should watch TheThirdErnest. He always talks about those little things and stuff

JON you need to listen to acquainted in the 90’s, this is has a second part to acquainted that you will definitely love its a secret gem soundcloud.com/unknownone1/acquainted-in-the-90s

definitely a ‘House of Balloons’ reference in the video, but pause at 2:57 you can see the ‘Glass Table Girl’

there are a lot of references in the video (balloons= house of balloons, girl standing near the table and the statue of woman = glass table girls, the colors of balloons and confetti=thursday, asian girl, rainbows = kiss land, people are his demons and they pull him to his grave= i think its refrence from faith). abel trying to escape from the past, from this drug, sex crazed, alcholic life, but he can't. and you can see desert lights , he blinded by them , its reference from faith, so he is alone and in hell right now. Final Lullaby was coming to terms with dying, and putting himself and his fantasies about his lover to sleep. so im fucking afraid and worried about him. sorry for my grammatical mistakes.

Please just go back to the start and watch all of his music videos in order. Would love to see what you think of The Knowing video.

check the comments on the actual video, the top comments explain it all :)

I thought about the first blonde forl he passed in the front as gig Thursday girl 😭

The House of Balloons/Glass Girl Tables reference is SO heavy❤❤

I think in this video The Weeknd soul left his body and his body is being taking over by a demon. and he watching his body being taken over and can't do anything about it.

Everytime im faded asf I put the weekend on. His music sends me to the fucking moon

He’s releasing a new song may 4th, not sure if that’s the song from his ig live but we can only hope 🤞

You and anyone else reading this, needs to check out his new song "die for it", its unreleased, but its still an amazing song!

The video starts off with rotating shots with trippy visuals, that shows his drug use and how he’s tired when the effects wear off. The falling confetti might be his fame that he has amassed now and the people in black are his Og fans who are dragging him down back to drug use but he’s just too tired and wants to escape. The moment where it stops is when he sees the girl that might be bella.

Hey was waiting since the video came out keep up the good vids

this track was actually produced by metro boom. crazy to see how versatile he is

Jon mate keep up the content, absolutely love your reactions and its great to see you consistently uploading content about Abel! XO

👑

Pls react to I'm good lil Wayne ft. Weeknd plss

You should react to the Weekend Gifted :) you would not regret it.

3:14 exactly what I was thinking wow

Did you ever watch/review M A N I A by The Weeknd?

This video reminds me of depeche mode's "in your room" music video. The visuals are very theatrical and symbolic. They reference almost every era of their previous work/art at that moment. they were living through their addictions. And basically was a very dark time for them as a band and individuals. The director of that video said it was some sort of farewell to the singer since he didn't think would make it through the other side. This video gave me the same feeling of contemplating your self-decay. Very depressing indeed. And beautiful at the same time

House of Balloons vibes am I right?
