You're legit one of the best reaction channels. You actually talk about the production and are able to relate the track to other tracks and projects. You actually have music knowledge. You're not just repeating what the artist said you're actually digging deeper.
fr. Knox hill is great for breaking down rap lyrics and stuff, but I've never seen someone with such good energy that understands lyrics AND production. W channel
If you remember from Twenty Eight, he uses the line, "This house is not a home to you", and now he's singing, "This house is not a home without my baby". That's evolution right there.
Man. I always appreciate your breakdowns. I know art is subjective and we can all get something different from it, but I really like your ability to dig deep and find things many of us don’t see (hear?). Looking forward to this album.
The production of these videos is just so good. Not only are you amazing at breaking down music and the background productions that go into it, but you also do it in a way that conveys so much about who you are as a person and I'm here for It. Keep up the great content!
Been watching since the first NF reaction and haven't stopped. The way you speak about music and the references and comparisons you make to other songs. Bro never felt so relatable to someone on love, appreciation and respect for not just the rap game but music in general. Through back to "Neon Gravestones" I see you pointing outvthe clear "Beethoven" inspiration in the song. Noone I personally know could point that out, truly sad. Anyway first time commenting just had to let you know I really respect and appreciate what you're doing with this channel. Your knowledge and can only assume love and appreciation you have for music is dope bruh keeping it up.
Damn bro, imma have to give The Weeknd a hard listen, this track was so good and you explained it so well between his stages of growth, and his voice is so dope. I am putting The Weeknd on my daily along with Music To Be Murdered By and The Allegory. Great video bro.
@@celeste1737 that is where I stopped listening at, when I first discovered his music through a friend in 2010 and I was hooked with him. The Trilogy Album, Nothing Was The Same from Drake and Good Kid Madd City from Kendrick were on constant repeat before I moved to ND in 2013.
@@saurabhjhanjee2408 🤣 that is exactly what did yesterday as soon as I had finished reading the last reply, turned on my spotify and downloaded his albums, thank you and your input is greatly appreciated.
Your “birds” and “call out my name” comparison makes sense. A ton of sense. I wonder if that’s why he had birds fly out of his mouth in the “call out my name” video 🤔
I'm an OG fan of Abel & new in this channel, and mannn you're literally the best youtube reactor I ever seen, the way you explained this song was just amazing, only people who went really deep into his stuff can explain smth like that 🙏
not even gonna lie, this is probably my 3rd time seeing you react to this album. I keep coming back because of how much I can relate to both you and the album. you’re also probably the best reaction channel out here, you actually listen to the lyrics a little more than the production, and I appreciate that you still manage to do that even when this album was produced by the gods of music it seems. hope you’re doing good and thank you for this quality album reaction.
This is the best break down/reaction video I’ve ever seen, this is what I mean FINALLY someone understands what Abel is trying to say. This guy knows bro.. much respect.
yo honestly, I'm going threw heartbreak right now. That I caused with my addiction to alcohol, and my toxicity. I can't stop listening to this song. Even though it's so hard to listen to. Because it brings the exact memories you were talking about... you really had a true reaction review and explained what my emotions are but that I couldn't understand. Thank you. Subscribed.
Well this is damm beautiful... I have heard most of the current (very commercial) weekend songs but I recently got introduced to ”the knowing” and got into listening his old school work. It so true this song is a proper old school weekend with the hint of today's vibe. This is the first video I have seen of your and I absolutely love it. I have liked - subscribed, will be listening to you a lot now. Great work #thethirdernest
Been watching your reactions for a long time before I subscribed, along with alot of others that do it, such as crypt, etc....out of everyone I think you really give the best breakdowns and reactions...for what its worth the NF vids are what really drew me in. Keep rocking it. Glad to be part of the fam
Yo Ernest, I just discovered this trilogy watching your reactions, it is so dope it's hard to put into words the way it makes me feel. The first two have a really cool set of continuing videos, would be really cool if you reacted to those as well!
UrbanParadise Yeah you either like his lyricism or you don’t. There’s not really an in between especially with his earlier works being so dark and vulgar. Glad you enjoyed his music
Omg yes thank you so much!!!!! Ive been waiting for this. I am now turning post notifications on because i missed it yesterday lol. Thanks for reacting
Damn man, how have I never seen your channel before. You’re a quality reactor! Not only your insight of the song but your editing and sound quality is top notch. Keep it up!
You made me sad! Or the song made me sad and you helped:) I guess mistakes and broken hearts are part of life, Im glad the worst of it is over for you...3rd fam needs happy Ernest!
This album better go platinum becuz with the release of this song along with heartless and blinding lights I can tell that I’m gonna love every song on this album. Also who’s hyped to get tickets for his tour this Friday?! Let’s go!!!!! XO FAN
I can't believe that my third fam's favorite Weeknd song is "The Knowing". You the best! Can you please do a reaction on "The Knowing" video? I think that's one of the most complicated and deepest video ever!
And again at 10:35, yooo Ernest, you know what’s up, and your cat there, he is becoming more and more woke 😂 apart from watching the video and enjoying the reaction, I also come for the cat ngl
For me this album will be the best of 2020 !!!! It causes sensations when listening ... it seems that it transports us to another place !!!! spectacular ...
i swear you should make a playlist of reacting and talking about some of the OG XO songs bc i would really watch them cuz ima huge XO fan. Also the way you talk about the meaning behind the lyrics really hits home💯 the weeknd should see this vid. i love it, nice video!!
The 2nd part of this song(and album in general) is him doing the complete opposite of the part in k "Tears in the Rain" when he said "now that she gone embrace all that comes And die with a smile Dont show the world how alone you've become"
You're legit one of the best reaction channels. You actually talk about the production and are able to relate the track to other tracks and projects. You actually have music knowledge. You're not just repeating what the artist said you're actually digging deeper.
thanks man!! I try! yall giving me 20 min so gotta make it worthwhile
Exactly dude he's soo good 👋
He is good
he is too good
fr. Knox hill is great for breaking down rap lyrics and stuff, but I've never seen someone with such good energy that understands lyrics AND production. W channel
"this house is not a home without my baby"
Direct response to a line from Twenty Eight, "this house is not a home for you"
thats my fav weeknd track
@@TheThirdErnest that "I'm so wrong" before the last chorus gets me good
If you remember from Twenty Eight, he uses the line, "This house is not a home to you", and now he's singing, "This house is not a home without my baby". That's evolution right there.
yup...he seems to do that in his new songs
Perrin Tricou I’ve noticed that in some songs. He references old verses 🥰
Lmao literally everyone on UA-cam reviewing this song: pauses when beat drops & says oh shit it’s a 6 minute song
who tf puts out a 6 min single lol
@@TheThirdErnest only abel. Lol
Lol
@@TheThirdErnest lord abel
kenia 91 & pyramids - frank ocean lmao they wildin
echoes of silence is the most underrated song by abel...
no lies detected...dont you leave my little life
ysk 048 no “Heaven or Las Vegas” is
Tears in the rain
ysk 048 I’d say love in the sky. I think all of trilogy is appreciated now but not exactly kissland
Gone is the most underrated
His voice literally becomes another instrument on this song👏👏👏👏👏
Dude, it feels like you’re in his brain man.
im glad im not...dont know if I could handle the drugs lol jk thanks man
"this house is not a home without my baby" ...THAT GOT ME HEAVILY
Man. I always appreciate your breakdowns. I know art is subjective and we can all get something different from it, but I really like your ability to dig deep and find things many of us don’t see (hear?).
Looking forward to this album.
thank you!! I haven't been this deep in anticipation in awhile lol
Music: Gesaffelstein
Lyrics:The Weekend
Conclusion: Masterpiece.
“The Weekend”
all gesaXweeknd works are masterpiece
Oh Gesaffelstein produced this song? Never knew :O
Except the song Lost in Fire by them is bad it homophobic and biphobic I love like every song by The Weeknd but lost in fire
@@Kerbii.. Grow up. This is the internet.
You look so emotional and I love that vulnerability. You looked into the camera and it felt like I saw a different side of you. Love! ❤
This song sonically is so gorgeous. I’m super excited for this album.

Man finally somebody that understand The Weeknd in that deeper lever.
Cheers my brother! Respect
The Weeknd is my absolute favorite r&b artist these past few years- can’t wait to see him live again in July ❤️ great breakdown as always!!
hes coming to San Antonio! gonna have to snag a ticket
TheThirdErnest I’m going to Barclays (Brooklyn) in July, I saw him live 2 years ago he was phenomenal ❤️ def recommend going!
I’m seeing him in Atlanta, I’m so excited
Cooper Smith it’s going to be epic!
Seeing him in San Jose 🙏🏼🥳
Your “birds” and “call out my name” comparison makes sense. A ton of sense. I wonder if that’s why he had birds fly out of his mouth in the “call out my name” video 🤔
Sorry I'm lil late but I thought they were bats in "Call Out My Name" video?
i thought bars because of dracula
I immediatly thought of his song with Kavinsky too! Glad that i'm not the only one! :D
its those low notes!!
I AM A SIMPLE MAN.. I SEE ERNEST'S VIDEO, I CLICK ASAP ON IT
The Weeknd is our port and our therapist. He can say what we feel much better than we can ourselves
XOTWOD.
You spoke every word I was thinking. Too good of a breakdown

Start with house of balloons you will not be disappointed
UrbanParadise thoughts so far?
@@nickdreezy2457 I'm not going to lie, the music is dope but I don't like some of the messaging. He is a lot deeper than I thought he was though.

@@nickdreezy2457 Yeah he's definitely talented. No doubt about it.

“The production is fire” THANK U DRE !!!!!!!!!!!! OMG I DID HEAR THAAAAATTTTT
You broke this song down really nicely, good job man.
You have a real gift of clarity with these lyrics. First off, I can't even make out half the words let alone interpret them.
Earned a sub for this absolutely genius analysis
All the things you said really hit me hard. I felt that. :(

YEEEEESSS, TO THE XO WEEKND!!! 🙌

I'm coming back March 21st and better hear your review on the album!
How he paused for the last bit and his facial expression is exactly how I reacted
The intro with echoes of silence made this video 😂👏🏽
You should react to Black Atlass, he's incredible.
For real man. He is the only artist I listen to alongwith TheWeeknd.
best reaccion of this song i seen. me being a super weeknd fan you thought me things of instrumental i missed. GOODJOB
That "cross examination" between Echoes x Call out my name was just... PHUCK YES!
Commenting for the UA-cam algorithm
Bro broke this down perfectly had to subscribe to you homie.
This is the best reaction EVER
Bro has the best reactions and this is three years later

Great video, you seriously opened up on this song and explained certain things. Earned yourself a subscriber 👍

"now that she gone
embrace all that comes
And die with a smile
Dont show the world how alone you've become"

Love how you related that Kavinsky beat to this song !!! You definitely know what your talking about when it comes to music 😂💛
