6:14 was the moment that shit hit em. The Weeknd ain’t your ordinary artists bruh. He’s creating new sounds that hit us so hard in our souls. When will ppl realize this!!!! 😭😭😭
Long story short: the whole "After Hours" album is like a movie - a story of Abel (The Weeknd) trying to let go Bella Hadid, his ex-girlfriend. Their relationships have been hell of a rollercoaster, so the emotional range on the album is quite the same. I strongly recommend you to listen all of the songs in order to listen to the lyrics, catch the vibe and get the whole story. As for me, Faith is one of my favorites from the record, as well as Save Your Tears and Until I Bleed Out - the toxic theme of getting someone involved in my lifestyle hits me on a personal level and became the beginning of some kind of rehab.
Ems Hoggz I thought Hellz Bellz was the one who’s been collaborating with Chrome Hearts (”hanging from her neck”) and not Slenor 😉 could be wrong though 😇
Trilogy (his first 3 mixtapes) are a R&B masterclass. The change in styles, the raw vocals, the most facked up lyrics about partying cheating hell their is even a song about a girl killing herself cuz he doesn’t love her. It is in my opinion the best album ever made (in 2011 he put the 3 mixtapes together and called it trilogy) I recommend the songs House of balloons/ glass table girls The morning The birds pt2 And the strange and creepy mixed initiation Sorry for my english I am dutch
@@mesajah733 because look at his Google account its all chinese, therefore the assumption that his English isn't on par with everyone else is fair. Also, I'm Chinese, it's easy to tell when their first language isn't English so stop trying to be a smartass about it
Your reaction to the outro is exactly how I reacted. That shit was so ethereal, it caught me completely off-guard. Also the way you talk about the production; I was speechless. The production is insane here.
One reason I love this album so much is that every song and music video is a chapter of a story. Don't know what the story is exactly but I see the development and the beats are so unique on top of the thought of making a story out of an album. The weeknd is so talented and he cannot be overrated imo.
You mention the track feeling like a movie, he was heavily influenced by The Joker and Uncut Gems (he was actually in the Uncut Gems film). Some of the album art and the After Hours short film video and some of the music videos along with the idea of the red suit were heavily influenced by The Joker.
I ended up, in the back of a flashing car, with the city shining on my face, the lights are blinding me again... That part remember me the movie of The Joker, when he's in back of the police car.
Jaakko Valaja It is a cop car. He says “I ended up in the back of a flashing car with the city shining on my face”, meaning there is windows on the car that Abel can look out of so it has to be a cop car
@@Frozen_1Chosen It could be both because of they played an ambulance sound for the outro and also he ends up in an ambulance, probably because of an overdose. It is also common that drugs like MDMA causes light sensitivity.
You should react to some songs from Trilogy like house of balloons/glass table girls, the morning, wicked games, high for this, twenty eight, the knowing, coming down, valarie, and all the other stuff
Grisel Griselda depression doesn't discriminate! You can have everything but depressed! He's at a point where nothing makes him happy anymore! Then the cycle of self harm and self medicating starts and he just feels worse!
@@griselgriselda2901 everyone can have depression, but Abel does say that these are just characters he uses in his music. His songs might apply to him, but it might not. Who’s to say.
@@griselgriselda2901 sometimes depression just don't care how successful or rich you are, it just happens to anyone no matter how well they're doing for themselves or not.
Faith is a build up track for Blinding Lights. Hence the reason why Blinding Lights follows Faith in the order of the album. A lot of the lyrics of Faith go with Blinding Lights.
Just stumbled across your channel a few days ago and I love ur shit. You are just a real guy dropping his opinion. I really like ur videos and ur character. Greetings from Germany
boy you hella late! we were alllll telling you to do this whole album when you dropped that first reaction! but I hate hating do ya thing, this song is amazing though
