Written by a 19 year old. House of Balloons was so ground breaking. This will never get old actually one of his best songs. The nostalgia. Almost 9 years. An entire decade is approaching. Can’t believe it. Made Alternative R&B his throne. Iconic
This song is literally a time machine. I have a great life with a wife, kids, a house, great job, but as soon as The Weeknd says, "Listen" I go back 12 years back when I had just dropped out of college and had nothing but debt. What a wild ride from when I first started listening to now, he has always been the soundtrack to my life this whole time.
I'm chilling in life. On vacation in the Poconos, I got a 7 year old son but once the trilogy comes on I'm 10 year's younger and single with no kids LoL
Seriously though, I know it’s been 10 years but I still can’t get over how beautiful this song is. The melody, the way instruments work so perfectly together, his voice being the cherry on top. I can’t explain how poetic this shit is.
I dated a stripper one time, God I loved that girl. She listened to this song every day when she was getting ready. Puts a smile on my face every time I hear it.
I will never get tired of this song. It gives me the same feeling I felt when I heard it for the first time when I was 11 and now I’m 19. So fucking good but sad. Abel you’re a genius.
My good friend who died of an overdose first introduced me to the weeknd and I think of him everytime I hear this song. RIP Rory Murphy may you live on forever in our hearts.
I heard this song for the first time, at five in the morning in the year 2011. We where having a party that went on untill the early mornings. At that party my best friend was present and we kept on repeating this song,i dont know, for hours it felt like. 4 years later he died of an overdose as well. So we are in the same boat when playing this song. Sending you love.
I was about 23 24 this album came out . When listening to this song i can smell and feel a time in my life that i enjoyed but will only be able to experience once !!!!
I was like 19. Nostalgic asf 💯. All of his songs during that time were playing during some of the most fun moments in life for me. Totally get what u mean
I remember being 24 years old and stumbling onto this video. It had a couple of hundred views only and even back then i knew this guy would be a legend. 10 years later and he's an icon. Proud of his success. He deserves it all
Sameee, except I must have been 14. I'm 24 now lol, and I am so glad he got the recognition he deserved. I remember listening to him back then, and nobody really knew who he was or what he was about. He is a true artist, painting pictures with his vocals.
BROOO that’s what I’m sayin!! I went on a date with this female out in Santa Cruz I drove 45 min to go see her because she’s that bad and she started playing this song for me while she sang along and I was just staring at her like fuck this girl hella lit. Now every time o hear his song I think about her 😭😭
Nothing sounded like The Weeknd’s music before him, truly groundbreaking. As a fan that’s been there from the start I’m so proud of the artist he’s become along with the monumental success.
I will never get tired of this song. Weeknd dun took off HAM ON THIS RIGHT HERE! a u t h e n t I c v i e w s dun took his career off 2 the next level fr fr no cap
I thought you said "the best song ever recorded" like EVER for a second there and I was like "bro are you fucking for real how can you be so out of touch with culture that you think the weeknd made the greatest song in the history of music, let alone THIS song" lol But seriously I almost agree, I think a few other tracks of his top it though. But it is my favorite of his every now and then. It changes for me.
I kinda agree with your opinion, but then there's In The Night; Faith, Tears In The Rain, Kiss Land, Montreal, Reminder, Wasted Times, Professional, The Hills, After Hours, Wicked Games, Shameless, House Of Balloons / Glass Table Girls, The Birds (pt1 and pt2), Die For You, Too Late, Wanderlust, Nocturnal... I could name many other songs, but Abel has too many good songs. And I don't think that he could make a bad song, even if he tried ("I'm A Virgin", is the best example of that xD).
What a voice, what a talent Weeknd dun took off HAM ON THIS RIGHT HERE! *A U T H E N T I C V I E W S D O W T C O W M* dun took his career off 2 the next level fr fr no cap
I was a kid in high school bumping this every day back then when this album dropped. Now I play this on late nights driving down the Eway with the sunroof open💯 Timeless music✨
+Barber Loco in this song he says that Cali is the mission.... in the song tell you friends he says Cali WAS the mission.... like he completed it he made it to Cali
First heard this as a sophomore in high school in 2019. Instantly fell in love, it was so beautiful. As I got older, I made tons of memories to this song. Every time I was doing some crazy shit, this song was playing
2012 Abel was a different type of being. He was performing in dark light, doing coke in bathroom stalls and breaking up happy homes of diamond district jewelers and their side chicks.
Hahaha same. My friends think I'm a pervert coz I always listened to his songs. Sometimes I wanna shout to their face how moron they were for listening to an artist who used their beuatiful faces to promote and flirt with people to like their music. 🤮🤮🤮
Mr. Have you heard the intro from “Professional” “Love in the sky” “Belong to the world” “Live For” “Wanderlust” “Kiss Land” “Pretty” “Tears in the Rain?” Those were some fire intros.
I was like that when I first started listening then I started hearing that he had a "deeper message" in his lyrics so I started paying attention a little
1/30/2022 and this song still gives me the same feelings as when I heard it for the first time…and for that, I’m grateful. New album was a hit and so will the next. XOTWO
Can’t believe it’s been 10+ years since this came around.. I remember listening to this album and a few others he had at the time back in highschool. I would tell people he was one of my favorites and yet none of them had any idea who I was talking about. Knew one day he would become big in the music industry! Took all I had to not rub it in peoples faces when he started to become more well know and they started saying they were “big fans.” Like no,.. I was there when it all began. But nonetheless, I’m glad he has grown over the years ❤️
This song is easily already a classic... the way it envelopes you with nostalgia, melancholy and emotion... a haunting feel that very few songs are able to deliver
yea it's crazy to see his evolution and how he changed throughout the years. he got super famous and got jaded of that cali lifestyle and wants to return to canada again. he's the snowchild.
This is the Weeknd. This is the persona all of us lost, heartbroken, drug loving souls that are searching for ourselves in things that we know will break us more followed. Here we are friends, gracefully falling. XO til we overdose.

+alexjavi13ify Me too. This will always be The Weeknd's paramount achievement in my opinion. The firslt time i listened to it was the first tiem in a long time that I loved a song instantly, naturally curious about where it was from.
Man. This one still gives me goosebumps when it starts. I've heard it well over 1000 times and its just as good each time. And the way that guitar creeps in on the first verse! SHEEEEEESH! Puts me in a whole other dimension when that beat finally drops.
Does anyone ever speak out about how he has the ability to use a verse in multiple songs in different ways and it just gives the song an extra something?? Or do we all just silently appreciate it?
So many good ones, twenty-eight is def one of my top favorites, the party,afterparty are dope as well. His rendition of Dirty Diana is fire. Sick bass lines and good vibes for sure.
Before the industry got to him and he began making catchy pop music……i have xo tatts and none reference current music….the current music is great….but this is the timeless music by Abel that will always live on.

He ain’t write this but it’s still amazing

Got the walls kickin' like they 6 months pregnant
Drinkin' Alizé with our cereal for breakfast
Girls calling cabs at dawn, quarter to seven
The sky's getting cold, we flyin' from the North
We're rockin' with our city like a sold-out show
House full of pros that specialize in the hoe'ing
Make that money rain as they taking off they clothes
Order plane tickets, Cali is the mission
Visit every month like I'm split-life livin'
Let the world listen, if a hater's caught slippin'
Then my niggas stay tight, got my back like Pippen
Fast life grippin', yeah we still tippin'
Codeine cups paint a picture so vivid
Fakes try to mimic, get girls timid
But behind closed doors they get oh so rigid
All that money the money is the motive
All that money the money is the motive
All that money the money she be foldin'
Girl put in work
Girl, girl put in work
Girl put in work
Girl, girl put in work
Girl put in work
Push it through the limit
Push it through the pain
I push it for the pleasure like a virgin to the game
A virgin to that money
A virgin to the fame
So this my only chance so when I'm over only pray
That I flow from the bottom closer to the top
The higher that I climb the harder I'ma drop
These pussy ass niggas tryna hold on to they credits
So I tell 'em use a debit watch they image start to lessen
I warned them like discretion
Why these niggas testin'
Always fuckin' testin'
Why these niggas testin'
Shit that I got them on straight bar hoppin'
To the music of the ambiance gets shit poppin'
Zombies of the night
Niggas ain't talkin'
If they hypin' to the crew get it in like pockets
Downtown lovin' when the moon comin'
Only place to find base heads and high women
All that money the money is the motive
All that money the money is the motive
All that money the money she be foldin'
Girl put in work
Girl, girl put in work
Girl put in work
Girl, girl put in work
Girl put in work
Better slow down she'll feel it in the morning
Ain't the kinda girl you'll be seeing in the morning
Too damn raw ain't no nigga worth her holding
Ain't no nigga that she holding man her love is too damn foreign
Look at all that money the money is the motive
All that money the money is the motive
All that money the money she be foldin'
Girl put in work
Girl, girl put in work
Girl put in work
Girl, girl put in work
All that money the money is the motive
All that money the money is the motive
All that money the money she be foldin'
Girl put in work
Girl, girl put in work
Girl put in work
Girl, girl put in work
Girl put in work

Thanks man of the lyrics!!
This is the first song I heard by the weeknd and I replayed it like 100 times on full blast in my car
Ugh , the nostalgia I get hearing this 😩😩🔥 what a time man ..
First song that got me hooked to the weeknd 👍👌
agreed haha
+alexjavi13ify Me too. This will always be The Weeknd's paramount achievement in my opinion. The firslt time i listened to it was the first tiem in a long time that I loved a song instantly, naturally curious about where it was from.
Yesss 😍
+alexjavi13ify
same here.. :)
+alexjavi13ify Hey guys, I just uploaded a cover of this song! please, check it out, means a lot
Man. This one still gives me goosebumps when it starts. I've heard it well over 1000 times and its just as good each time. And the way that guitar creeps in on the first verse! SHEEEEEESH! Puts me in a whole other dimension when that beat finally drops.
Exactly!!
Well said
SAME!
EXACTLY HOW I FEEL. Well said like the person above said.
i wished you were a girl after i read your comment
the guitar with this song is everything, one of my favourite parts omg adore this song. can't believe it's 13 years, it's so timeless.
He ain’t even realize he made one of the greatest songs ever with this one
If you're here still in 2021 you doing it right
I'm here because I've watched Uncut gems
XO for life

@@choiaiM XO is life! 🤘🏻
This song really doesn't get as hyped as it should. Honestly, my favorite song on the album
+Braden Rikli (BrayZap) i don't know why, part of it was in Juicy J's "Codeine Cups"
***** ikr
No one understands just how timeless and capturing this song really is🔥🔥
Girl put it in worrkkk
I always fall asleep to this. Close my eyes and sit there in bliss and I pass out. So soothing to your ears
same story
uhh you're bad. insta?
katelyn presthus I fall asleep to spooky black aka Corbin you should hear his music too
Screaming daddy issues
Before he was IN THE NIGHT...he had THE MORNING.
yess😭😭
Dawn before night
I see what u did there
Raul Quiroz true
You know you are a true fan if that made sense........
Does anyone ever speak out about how he has the ability to use a verse in multiple songs in different ways and it just gives the song an extra something?? Or do we all just silently appreciate it?
11pm, smoking a Joint faded asf and staring at the full moon ✨
I remember August 2011 ,walking 45 mins to get to my job ,and going thru depression, this song and album made everything feel much better
omg same here, you don't even know. I had this song set for my alarm in 2012. it was uneasy times and it literally lifted me out of bed every morning.
Bro you walked an hour and a half every single day??
@@FaZaFurhod from July to February 2011-2012 .every day to work
@@YoungFellezzy good man. Work purifies the soul if you let it.
This might be his best song
It's my favorite, still after all this time!
So many good ones, twenty-eight is def one of my top favorites, the party,afterparty are dope as well. His rendition of Dirty Diana is fire. Sick bass lines and good vibes for sure.
@@brianraub3587 hob/gtg def up there
It's my favorite song. Always loved the morning
@@brianraub3587 i love how so many peoples fav song is the party and the after party

this is literally the best song my ears have ever had the pleasure of hearing
SAME
RIGHT
This song is pure ecstasy to the ears😍
soooo true, this song helps me sleep , Weeknd is the goat!
@@organicdan1860 all the money
Before the industry got to him and he began making catchy pop music……i have xo tatts and none reference current music….the current music is great….but this is the timeless music by Abel that will always live on.
First Weeknd song I heard still my favorite 12 years later
The build up is everything 🔥👏🏾❤️
this song is like my comfort song, i love the beat, the chorus, everything
I haven't listened to this song in a minute and I forgot how good this song still sounds. I miss this sound from him.
I started listening to The Weeknd back in 2020. I have a lot of catching up to do. Abel sang this one when I saw him live a few weeks ago. Great song.
