A family friend of mine used to live next to Abel and he said that he always looked like he was lost in his own world and in pain. I think that his music (the old stuff) really portrayed that feeling well.
True this song I sent to this guy who I fell in love with my first in all my 28 years and he doesn't love me back and I sent this to him. Just wanting him to "tell me that you love me only for tonight even though you don't love me..." Oh man I really wish he'd love me.......the way I love him
I miss this Abel... This Abel to whom I'd listen to all night; and still do, everyday. But id rather listen to the same old tracks for the rest of my life instead of having Abel struggling to life like he did back then. I'm happy for him and if you're reading this; I'm proud of you. You're an angel with a real taste.
he’s not really sad anymore which is good and i’m happy for him but yeah i do miss this type of music i guess the last we got of it was my dear melancholy but i’m grateful :) i’m so glad he’s happy now and the new music still slaps XOTWOD
Weeknd is the only artist that makes me feel homesick for a place I am not even sure exists, miss someone I've never met. I've had feelings like this for a long time, his music is exactly how those feelings sound, if that makes any sense.
I had HOB for like 2 months but slept on it. My brother played this one day we were smoking and damn near blew my high, I was like "YO, WHO...WHAT THE FUCK...WHO IS THIS?!?! THIS THE WEEKND?!?"
The first song I heard of The Weeknd in 2011. It was on radio in Ghana (West Africa) and I couldnt catch the artists name. All I remember were the line 'Tell me you love me, only for tonight'. Damn, I googled that line till I found that song. Have been hooked since.
@@jimmyrodriguez1608 he honestly wasnt that underground even back then, like u aint a special person if u have been listening since 2011. he had the drake co-sign that year as well
@@jimmyrodriguez1608 bitch nigga, i said that he wasn't underground and he had drake co sign and meaning he got radio plays as well. if u cant make the sense out of that gtfo
Hey Guys, I’m a big fan of The Weeknd and I just made a motivational video about his life and career and I would really appreciate you guys checking it out. I really put a lot of dedication and effort into this video to make it the best I can and my goal is for Abel to hopefully see it or at least hear about it. So if you can just do me a solid as a fan and check it out that would be greatly appreciated. Thank you so much and I hope everyone stays safe!!

I was literally 15 years old listening to this. I’m 25 now wtf was I thinking 😂?? I was definitely too young for all this toxicness but we back 10 years later I still remember all the lyrics 💕. BRING BACK THE WEEKND WE KNOW! Love from South Africa 🇿🇦
I was exposed to this roughly at the same age and time as you, and I was already going through an unhealthy stage with socializing. This kind of music left a mark on me 😆 at least I’m no longer toxic in or out
when I use to listen to this in 2012, all my friends were telling me " what the fuck are you listening to? " , now the same people listening to Starboy right now. Someone's about to get punched.

@@jacobbetz2805 3 years later & I’ve now seen him live, Wembley Stadium…18-08-23… I personally think he’s the best artist in this generation, his voice is a rarity & even better live!!⚡️💎 I feel blessed to have heard this 😍
Sadly I often forget this masterpiece. Yet coming back to it makes me remember the brilliance Abel can deliver. Soul filled song with the dark yet relatable lyrics that trigger an instant dopamine release. Overall flawless
I remember listening to house of balloons and i was like abel needs so much more recognition and now hes was one of the most talked about artists last year. wow.
Kait Scott I agree I thinkcuz all he fame came he didn't feel comftorable with so many people seeing this side of him so he tried to make it way less dark but it's pretty sad really like I love all his old music, not saying it's bad rn it's really good but I miss him being personal. Big fan of his ❤️
hahahah ikr!!! it just makes his songs even better though like the emphasis! hahah and in or nah he says "throat the dick or nah" like hes angry lol its funny but it makes his songs a little better
Main 313 drake is trash lmfao the guy says ‘keke’ ‘hehe’ talks shit bout rihanna and runs around with london rappers and got popular lmfao he’s nothing compared to the weeknds music
W ( Wasted times ) I ( In the Night ) C ( Can't feel my Face) K ( King of the Fall ) E ( Earned it ) D ( Die for You ) G ( Gone ) A ( After Hours ) M ( Montreal ) E ( Echoes of silence ) S ( Starboy )
sumaridesfree Trilogy is a god given album, every song has its own, unique atmosphere and you can actually hear emotions in his voice (not like in CFMF). Check The Morning or The Knowing or just listen to Trilogy one more time. I actually needed few listens before I loved it.
Best fucking song. Best fucking mixtape he has ever made. Been a fan since 2011. This shit brings back memories that make me hella sad. But shit that's what music is supposed to do right. Xoxo.
Because back in the day you had this secret gem all by yourself, the viewcount was low mixed with the black and white images, it felt like uncovering gold that you only had access to, now everyones on him and it doesnt feel the same :/
Aboood165 Yeah they might be in different Genre's but they speak about the same stuff. The Weeknd sings about Sex, Money and Drugs. Rappers rap about Sex,Money and Drugs. My comparison is valid.
I am planning to launch myself in 2025 but I don't know how to portray my pains through verses, either don't know if verses can afford my pains.. But I will try... don't know where to go and weeknd is like big brother for me, helps me everytime...
+Daniel Martinez I know right. I've been listening to the weeknd since 2011 but i'm happy that people are just now discovering his music. It's timeless stuff. The fans who hate on new fans are just dick riders not fans.
***** I, personally, don't listen to the radio. That's one reason why I never knew who he was until 50 Shades of Grey came out and his song 'Earned It' was everywhere. I just hate the whole mentality of "I listened to so and so since (insert year) so everyone else is a fake fan."
+baole58 Well, how else are people supposed to know who these people are, especially underground artists? I listen to all types of artists but I tend to happen upon them by chance or by recommendation of a friend but sometimes they're shoved in my face and I can't help but get the song stuck in my head, like The Weeknd and Jhene Aiko. I had no idea who she was until one night I was changing the channels and her video "The Worst". The thing I do find annoying is when new fans act like they know everything about them and they only know like one song 😂
+baole58 i agree with that but being of his new gen (15y/o) ill do ma best to make sure that he is never forgotten especially not he trilogy which i was probably too young to be listening tooo probably still too young mhm
Let me see you dance I love to watch you dance Take you down another level And get you dancing with the Devil Take a shot of this But I'm warning you I'm on that shit that you can't smell, baby So, put down your perfume [Pre-Hook] Bring your love, baby, I could bring my shame Bring the drugs, baby, I could bring my pain Oh, I got my heart right here Oh, I got my scars right here Bring the cups, baby, I could bring the drank Bring your body, baby, I could bring you fame And that's my motherfucking words too, ayy So let me motherfucking love you [Hook] Listen, ma, I'll give you all I got Get me off of this (off of this), I need confidence (confidence) in myself (Ooh, eh, ehh) Listen, ma, I'll give you all of me (Ooh) Give me all of it, I need all of it to myself (I need all of it) So tell me you love me, yeah (Only for tonight, only for the night) Even though you don't love me (Ohh, ohh) Just tell me you love me (I'll give you what I need, I'll give you all of me) Even though you don't love me (Ohh, ohh) Ohh
something about this song just strums the gently swayed strings of my heart, and with every strum i feel that i’m coming closer and closer to the edge of tears. i feel like he really pours his heart into music, i can feel it so deeply, transcending through every aspect of everything he creates. this is the second song i’ve listened to him and he’s definitely going to be one of my favorite artists 🥺. this makes me want to kiss a random stranger and love them so deeply in those moments, and never see them again. i love how music can express the words that we struggle to say, it’s so beautiful that we have access to people who are capable of making… magic.
i got hooked with one if his newer, popular songs once they played it at the strip club (my first time) while looking at a beautiful girl moving to the beat
+Roy Smith in 1975 you know how pure drugs were back then look at how many musician died back then due to overdosing almost ever song he talks about doing drugs he would've not made it
Has anyone noticed that these 2011 uploads sound a little different to the Spotify, Apple Music and 2012 versions? I have some experience with mixing and mastering music, so I noticed it immediately. I guess they were remastered to sound more clean for the 2012 Trilogy release. But, to me, these versions sound better. The slight uncleanliness of the original mixes gave the songs a more real, dark, edgy and raw tone, which is what The Weeknd was always about.
I couldn't have said it better myself! Always loved the mixtapes versions more, all the songs are way more emotional and raw. It's a shame they're not on Spotify yet.
Same here.. I stared listen to MDM and BBTM later STARBOY.. damn trilogy hits different at midnight and House of balloons.. bird pt one and two both.. shit slapsss ❤️
I absolutely love the fact that he can express exactly what someone feels when they are passed that point sooo y'all appreciate a happy and loving person while y'all have them
+Juniper Berry the fact that this has so little likes in comparison to the others is the perfect definition of the illegitimacy of "new fans'. Fuck all those bitches. Great for abel for the new fans, but those fools nothing but followers.
