Hope you enjoy the deep dive! There's a slight edit at 2:26 because of a copyright issue with the music video for The Zone, all I said there was that the song was a direct message to the audience about The Weeknd's intentions to become a mainstream artist, but, otherwise, the rest of the video's intact. Let me know what you think, what your favourite Weeknd album is, and what you'd like to see next.
For me my favorite album is his starboy album. As for what I would like to see next is anything related to Michael Jackson, Elvis Presley ,Glass Animals, NASCAR and or John Wayne yet truth is you could make a video about paint drying and I'm sure it would be good fun like your first three videos once again tyvm for what you do love from Milwaukee WI USA
it is always fun looking in to the tin foil hat claims as it can add a different spin to any story..... I watched a video around 4 years ago that claimed that The Weeknd is Justin Bieber in makeup. That would make him the master of reinvention I guess ☺
Musically, yes. Video wise, pretty solid tbh. This is coming from someone who doesn't like The Weeknd at all. If you don't think he's mid musically, it's your life, your opinion, good for you.
He doesn’t die he just gets heavily injured from the accident, which ties it into after hours cause he ends a song saying something about seeing bright lights after crashes his car which is an ambulance
Great video! One critique I have that most people always get wrong. It’s not “bad plastic surgery”, it’s actually the effect of continuous plastic surgery over long periods of time. Which I believe is another analogy to the endless quest for ultimate vanity in not only Hollywood but western culture as a whole .
17:00 he shot himself and started smiling might suggest he's been trying to kill him after his performance many times but every time it fails, which explains him smiling after pulling the trigger and confetti coming out of the pistol instead of bullet that means he can't escape from his fate
I think it’s obvious that Abel always wanted to kill off this character. I’m guessing he figured that at some point in his life, he will move on from this persona that reflected a darker version of his experiences in early adulthood. But now that he’s basically made it, he’s fine with letting the character rest easy. Whether The Weeknd receives a good or bad Ending in the afterlife is something we”ll have to see.
this video is absolutely incredible. Even as a die-hard The Weeknd fan there was plenty of new information for me. I try to get my friends in touch with Abel and his music before the new Album comes out and I`ll definetely show them this video! Such a great summary of his discography and the story behind it. Awesome work mate!
This video is so well made and your explanation is amazing. I’m a massive fan of the weeknd so watching these videos never offers me anything I don’t know, but your perspective and passion is so intriguing, I love it !
I never comment on videos, but you really deserve more. The work is incredible, the story telling, voice over, editing. Everything is top notch. Can't wait for the new album
This is the best explanation I’ve seen so far you nailed it👌🏾. Thought he tells his story in a very artistic and captivating way. He still a prisoner of his choices, trapped in a cycle he can’t escape. I like how you didn’t chop it up to fan theory’s nor sugar coat it. Yes it beautiful to witness , but you can tell his soul is hurting regardless
8:59 I think the cars being different DOES make a big difference. The one he crashed in with "The Hills" was regular while the one in "Tell Your Friends" was luxury. That makes me think The Hills happened first where he meets the devil to discuss the deal, the devil proves how he can deliver in "Cant Feel My Face", then Weeknd double crosses & kills him in "Tell Your Friends" while driving away in a Bentley with newfound fame...and essentially trying to outrun the devil, explaining his red crucifix weapon in "Starboy". But, devil can't die, and caught up to him in the After Hours album (i.e. cameo in "Heartless").
Who is the narrator of this video? I had followed a few of The Weeknd reviewers who gave interesting and meaningful interpretations of the music itself based on their musical profession and some of the analogy of his journey. I had learnt from each of them. So far, the narrator of this video nailed it uniquely and found the closest true interpretation of the recent rebirth and the end of the Weekend (at least end of The Weekend for now). Yes, that maternal image is from Artist Afework Tekle’s art work. I enjoyed this video, your observation, and knowledgeable analysis. Thank you!
This was a really well made video, and i liked how you went into detail with each album or character and some things, even tho I'm a huge fan i had no idea of some of the theories talked about.
Loved the michael Jackson video, then I saw you made a Weeknd for my favorite artist, the artist that got me into music. Keep making videos like these, so captivating
I enjoyed this video so much, this video is gonna blow up soon. Will you be covering this again when “Hurry Up Tomorrow” releases and the Trilogy is finally complete?
Glad you enjoyed it, I’ll definitely look into that, some of you guys are also interested in the film references in The Weeknd’s lyrics & music videos idea too so I might make something covering it all
I'm OLDER woman who just discovered Weeknd ( yeah for real ). Dancing in the flames song n official video blew me away! Can't stop listening. Wow I sure have let life slip away in some areas like music. Won't happen again, this artist is AMAZING🔥
It has always felt to me that the music videos tell a similar but very much not the same story as the music. For example, Gasoline in the song depicts a still alive weeknd closing in on their death with apathy. Also, After Hours contains notes of remorse over his life that are drowned in Las Vegas' sins that isn't there in the videos. This makes me less interested in the videos but this video has made me intrigued to dive into the next album's videos.
The Daft Punk part is really good in this video, it gives a lot of memories about those two Funny robots, let's all wish that we will keep them in our hearts and remember their very cool sketchy electronic music.
Thanks, haha it’s funny you say that because I do a lot of corporate editing professionally - and I actually did a whole employee training video series earlier this year - so I think some of that might have bled into this video while I experimented
Now that this video brought this side of him to my attention here's a fun fact he did one of the theme songs for wrestlemania 40 last year yet they really only used the instrumental and turned his vocals way down and when I did a lyric search I see why his vocals were turned down because it's all about embracing a overdose death like what how is that relatable to wrestlemania and some how he made the wrestlemania theme song for the last 5 years in a row now
He's forever tatted on me. WICKED GAMES on my lower side. He's phenomenal. ❤seen him in Orlando here in Florida. He is never insecure about his appearance. Those who've been w Abel since Trilogy know.
I had a question, Did weeknd knew he was going to make a story for The Weeknd from Day 1?? like every music videos from initial stages, did Abel knew he was going to make some kind of story??
According to several interviews he’s given, my guess is probably not, he’s said that his albums are born from his current life circumstances and are, to some degree, semi-autobiographical, even if some things are metaphorical or exaggerated. There was a clip from his Kiss Land: Road To Release documentary I included where he states that these stories and the characters in them are loosely based on people he knows, relationships and so on. This final trilogy, though, I think was planned well in advance story-wise

@@epicinferno6703 cool man, and I disagree with your take. Your life, your opinion, good for you.
@@inthecutagain nice to hear that you respect my opinion like how I respect yours, 💪👊
@@epicinferno6703why you even here then? Just asking by curiosity.
@@epicinferno6703He is mid but your here
Hes a fucking genius with a clear vision. Its so exciting to wait for the next album and next persona.
Here after watching Dancing In The Flames where he dies yet again 😂
damnnnnnn sem
Everything is connected
And crashes a car once again😭
Why are people now laughing about him😢
He doesn’t die he just gets heavily injured from the accident, which ties it into after hours cause he ends a song saying something about seeing bright lights after crashes his car which is an ambulance
I attended all of his funerals. 😘
Bars
That's boss
me too
Your a weirdo
Will he attend yous ?
Watched this on full screen and was blown away by this only having 2k views. Absolutely incredible video.
Thank you!

Which I believe is another analogy to the endless quest for ultimate vanity in not only Hollywood but western culture as a whole .
All his music videos in order can be a mini series. I’d love to watch that.
17:00 he shot himself and started smiling might suggest he's been trying to kill him after his performance many times but every time it fails, which explains him smiling after pulling the trigger and confetti coming out of the pistol instead of bullet that means he can't escape from his fate
This analysis is great!
Thank you!
Cannot wait for the new album
Yes you can
@@Tenzo1519 September 7 is my due date, anything after that I won't be present for mentally
Ahem you mean 'Can't wait for bro to die again in a newer video 😌😎👌
@@danteshollowedgrounds yes.
@@ReillyNocturnal 😌😎😆👌
Beautiful fucking video. You deserve a masters degree for this alone. You did your research! You’re doing “The Weeknd” fans a great service. XO.

He can go the way his character did in American dad
I was waiting for someone to make an explanation of his symbolic videos…. THANK YOU 😊🙏🏽
This is the best interpretation of The Weeknd I’ve ever seen …. Thank you
Listening to this awesome analysis on my way back to the US from São Paulo
I smell cap 😂 unless u got videos to post from the concert…

Oh you did your thang with this one
I couldn't even put any of these together 😮
I honestly didn’t want the video to end
This video is so well made and your explanation is amazing. I’m a massive fan of the weeknd so watching these videos never offers me anything I don’t know, but your perspective and passion is so intriguing, I love it !
I couldn't have said it better myself tbh. An amazing video and analysis
Who’s here after bro died again in the Dancing in the Flames MV
I never comment on videos, but you really deserve more.
The work is incredible, the story telling, voice over, editing. Everything is top notch.
Can't wait for the new album
That means a lot, thank you

This was amazing. Voice, production, flow, imagery and detailing were spot on. Would love to see you cover the new album and other artists. Fair play
The Weeknd doesn't just create music, he creates art!

This was no less than a cinematic masterpiece! 10/10
i was watching the video thinking this is at least a 100k subs channel.... ONLY 3K???? UR UNDERRATED AF
What a video!! I cant wait for the album
This is the most accurate description ever
Yeah you’re gonna blow with this video. Attention to detail. Good work 👍🏾
why does this only have 8.7k views this is so interesting
That counts how many people have watched it.

He is such a musical genius, there is most certainly no one quite like him.
amazing video dude! great references and good taste
Getting the jest. No judging your music. It's thoughts. Thank you for sharing your presence.
This was a really well made video, and i liked how you went into detail with each album or character and some things, even tho I'm a huge fan i had no idea of some of the theories talked about.

Damn mate ! Abel is a master storyteller.
He's forever tatted on me. WICKED GAMES on my lower side. He's phenomenal. ❤seen him in Orlando here in Florida. He is never insecure about his appearance. Those who've been w Abel since Trilogy know.
Broo its Simple!! Monday always has to come after Sunday 🗡
Jokes aside though. Damn! This video rocks! Thank you for taking the time to do this for us true fans of Abel!
amazing video. xotwod
making song albums in trilogy was wild and his dedication on killing the weeknd was creepy weird but interesting
❤Dancing in the flames❤
i need mo vids like this
he already deal with depression and dont care if he dies , so he shows all of these sides
I had a question, Did weeknd knew he was going to make a story for The Weeknd from Day 1?? like every music videos from initial stages, did Abel knew he was going to make some kind of story??

@@themp4project That's what I think too, only this final trilogy's was well defined for a story, Not including the previous ones!
I feel like it could become a reality 🙁
