When i first heard abel's music in 2011 i was very depressed and addicted to one of the most crappiest drugs. Hearing him would make my all my pain go away i felt like he was the only one who knew how i was feeling inside..now 6 years later i'm almost a year sober,found an amazing man and I'm pregnant. The weeknd has never seemed more happy in life and it brings so much joy to me. If i have a boy we're naming him Abel ❤
I used to play this song in high school.. high, in the dark, staring at the ceiling in a trance Now here I am in 2020, 23 years old, doing the same thing
+Rishi Basu probably but at the same time he made the same shit just a tuuuuch more upbeat for like 2 and a half more years... It's crazy he sacraficed almost 4 years of a fame and money with this art before he went and got his money....
I saw him live in Miami last year. I was close to tears cause I heard the pain in his voice through some of his songs. His concert was truly beautiful. He's amazing live. I'm so happy for all his success.
It's funny to me that Abel made a message in his song that only his OG fans would understand that foreshadows the future, but also makes it seem inevitable. It's like he's giving in to his desire for fame. Fucking love The Weeknd. Greatest of our generation in my opinion
"Until you're used to my face..... and my mystery fades... I got you..." Beautiful even in admitting his change into a mainstream artist. His mystery, the reason we all were mesmerized to begin with, and the uncovering and adaptation to a face that for so long was masked by dark tones and ambiguity... It takes a candid soul to foresee the end and transformation of oneself into something else. -XO
The Weeknd - Rolling Stone (Lyrics) Now you're thinkin' about it Girl you're thinkin' about it What we got here How we fuckin' got here They recognize They just recognize I'm in a life without a home so this recognition's not enough I don't care sbout nobody else 'Cause I've been on these streets for too long, too long, too lonh Baby I've been on this too long 'Cause getting faded too long Got me on this rolling stone So I take another hit Kill another serotonin With a hand full of beans And a chest full of weed Got me singing 'bout a bitch While I'm blowing out my steam Yeah I know I got my issues Why you think I fuckin' flow? And I'ma keep on smoking 'til I can't hit another note Ooh but until then I got you, ooh Baby I got you, ooh Until you're used to my face And my mystery fades I got you, ooh So baby love me, oh Before they all love me Until you won't love me Because they all left me I'll be different I think I'll be different I hope I'm not different And I hope you'll still listen But until then Baby I got you I got you Girl I still got you I got you
Define mainstream for me sir.. this guy is not topping the hitlists world over.. although he should ;) .. As long as he stays so original and inspirational i don't think anything will be lost if he goes mainstream
That's because of the heavy reverb thats on his voice, but you can still hear his real voice. Listen to the Trilogy version of Rolling Stone without any autotune, his voice sounds more natural on that.
"I got you. Baby, I got you. Until you're use to my face, and the mystery fades. I got you. So, baby love me, before they all love me. Until you won't love me because they'll all love me." Gets me everytimeeee yo.
@@juneessie491 i never said that, real xo been here bfr anyone has. u can still be xo and liked his newer shit bfr his older stuff, i guess its just a discovery they have to make to find his old stuff. plus i said that 11 months ago my perception has changed
The Weeknd makes me wanna cry sometimes , because on some real shit , its like he knows exactly how we feel and say things we wouldn't say for us in his songs . #Thumbs up if you feel the same :D
9 years ago today he showed his face to the public !!! Xo forever love y’all , and he really foreshadowed him blowing up and being different in a way . !
This is the very song that got me hooked, I remember I was in my room looking through facebook when someone shared this video, it had only 1.8k views mind you it was only up for 1hr. 9 years later I've been XO.
TrEmEnD0132 you already got the OG tag on you.preserve that.more Bandwgagoners are yet come.they ruin the preserved stuff pretty well. I got hooked when I saw his earned it music video back in 2014.was a kid back then.didnt know what was porn so I came back to listen to his voice and all that ass lol.got hooked to this song right after that.Thank you for sharing your story.A story like this is a nice piece of information to see how times were for artists who are big now.
Not a memory ...but the memory of an old feeling lost long ago, forgotten until this drags it back to the surface. Trying to hold that feeling until it fades away again. Emotion. Pure. Human.
this picture is kinda weird. i swear he looks exactly like how he looks at the Starboy era (2016-2017) but this picture was from 2011 (or even before that) and by that time he didn't had the hair like that and he didn't even got his full beard like in Starboy... idk this picture is kinda weird for me lol
I thought the exact same thing! And the creepy thing is that this song is about how his music is going to change and who he's going to become - in the Starboy era...
this dude has alot of good music. i like r&b but there was never n r&b artist, that i could consistently listen to but The Weekend, i can consistently listen to him. this is real singing!
this song is so cute... i like to listen to it while it's raining, cuddling in my blanket thinking about who this song reminds me of ♥ i love the weeknds voice, it's so comforting.
That is magical.. 😍 He is the king of dark music. I get Goosebumps everytime i listen to this. 😰 That intro music and then the guitar and above all his voice. The best singer ever!
Years are passing by and I am still coming back here, good old dark times, you came a long way Abel! I remember back in the days when Beauty Behind the Madness dropped, I was just a kid
You’ll probably never see this, Abel you saved me from myself, At times I didn’t know who I was You helped me find myself Helped me reach inner peace Maybe not complete happiness But enough to know I should never take the life I have for granted Thank you for putting out your best work and showing what a beautiful soul you have P.S. Hope to meet you, gain more knowledge from your great mind !!!
I've listened to this song consistently since 2013. I'm not gonna stop now, I've got too much love for it. Will always be my favourite song and always a calm one too spark up to xo
"So baby love me Before they all love me Until you won't love me Because they all left me" If that doesn't tell you something, then I don't know what will.
Ally May i actually feel disrespected lol not rlly but tbh the firsy song i heard of abel was ‘the hills’ and then year later till now i fucked with all his older shit. i dont think a real fan had to have known him since ‘thursday’ and all that lmao. i didnt knoe about trilogy and kissland when i “discovered” abel but i bump trilogy waaaaay more than anything else of his
Music Video for this tonight!

And people didn't even fucking know it was him.
Nah the one from The Fall was out too
naaah not this one.... he had long hairs back then.

I used to play this song in high school.. high, in the dark, staring at the ceiling in a trance
Now here I am in 2020, 23 years old, doing the same thing
Bro same turning 24 In April and still vibing! these songs have aged like fine wine!
I never felt so seen.
Same. Turn 24 next month. Only thing thats better is the weed, lights, and sound quality.
Im there too
It’s such a small world. The Weeknd was the cure for sure back in high school.
This song foreshadowed his current/new music to come. A song to his original H.O.B fans...warning he would become a mainstream artist. Insane. XO
+BuCkk how did he know he was gonna make it though?
+SAMMY DEE Confidence, probably just knowing he had the potential
+SAMMY DEE offers on the table by record companies, prolly
+Rishi Basu probably but at the same time he made the same shit just a tuuuuch more upbeat for like 2 and a half more years... It's crazy he sacraficed almost 4 years of a fame and money with this art before he went and got his money....
XOTWOD
I saw him live in Miami last year. I was close to tears cause I heard the pain in his voice through some of his songs. His concert was truly beautiful. He's amazing live. I'm so happy for all his success.
Glad he got recognition which he deserves
If I did get to pick a song for the last 3 minutes and 50 seconds of my life, ill be playing this.
hi
Hey bro

the man who showed me the weeknd back in 2013!!🔥

What you type reads well but....
Very true
"Until you're used to my face..... and my mystery fades... I got you..."

The Weeknd - Rolling Stone
(Lyrics)
Now you're thinkin' about it
Girl you're thinkin' about it
What we got here
How we fuckin' got here
They recognize
They just recognize
I'm in a life without a home so this recognition's not enough
I don't care sbout nobody else
'Cause I've been on these streets for too long, too long, too lonh
Baby I've been on this too long
'Cause getting faded too long
Got me on this rolling stone
So I take another hit
Kill another serotonin
With a hand full of beans
And a chest full of weed
Got me singing 'bout a bitch
While I'm blowing out my steam
Yeah I know I got my issues
Why you think I fuckin' flow?
And I'ma keep on smoking 'til I can't hit another note
Ooh but until then
I got you, ooh
Baby I got you, ooh
Until you're used to my face
And my mystery fades
I got you, ooh
So baby love me, oh
Before they all love me
Until you won't love me
Because they all left me
I'll be different
I think I'll be different
I hope I'm not different
And I hope you'll still listen
But until then
Baby I got you
I got you
Girl I still got you
I got you
sofia 2735 thx
Thanks
I love how he's starting to get know by people! He deserves it for his amazing song writing and voice.
Well
@@BrennholZz lol hes come a long way
Lol, 9 years later, he is the most listened artist on spotify around the world 🥲
to this day, i love this comment
Well this comment aged well.
Define mainstream for me sir.. this guy is not topping the hitlists world over.. although he should ;) .. As long as he stays so original and inspirational i don't think anything will be lost if he goes mainstream
Bro yyou were correct
nice prediction
this aged so well lol
Here we are now 😃
You are not human if you can't feel every note he sings after 1:24.
I was talking about the raw emotion in his voice in that part of the song. Always gives me chills...
That's because of the heavy reverb thats on his voice, but you can still hear his real voice. Listen to the Trilogy version of Rolling Stone without any autotune, his voice sounds more natural on that.
gives me chills evertime!
I feel everything from 0:00 - 3:54
and thats not auto tune thats reverb bruh....
this song gives me chills cause it foreshadowed his future
i think he had a clear vision of the path he was determined to follow but also knew the drawbacks it would have, almost in a prophetic sense
He predicted everything,even his hair
Wtf 😂
Or maybe he just went back to the old him
@@JeremyFlowers001 maybe
@@JeremyFlowers001 yeh he did. He became who he always was. That’s what I’m trying to do. That’s why I respect Abel
damn that’s crazy and true
This is Exactly how he looks now. funny how that works.
He foreshadowed his “pop star image”
😢
That's what's starboy is about. He's done being a pop star. He ain't there to impress anyone. He done with that.
I KNOW RIGHT.
Daud but that album was literally just full of his most mainstream songs
"I got you. Baby, I got you. Until you're use to my face, and the mystery fades. I got you. So, baby love me, before they all love me. Until you won't love me because they'll all love me." Gets me everytimeeee yo.
I'll be different I think I'll be different I hope I'm not different and I hope you still listen baby I got you I got you ooh I still got you....
"and I hope you still listen, but until then baby I got you" That part always hits me.
found you once again lol
Alejandro Ramos ayyeee
He does get you
I remember listening to this song when it was stuck at 301 views. Damn. Greatness escalates fast.
you are damn lucky . i love you
Real OG spotted 🙌
@@ABELXDAYAno kidding
Every weeknd song i hear, it makes me get goosebumps, his cryptic yet amazing songs get me every time... one of the best artists i listen to.
"Til you're used to my face and my mystery fades" ☹️ sometimes I wish he stayed hidden
I used to think he was saying till your used to my pain and my misery fades
Jasmine Norris true... its dope to see him go mainstream and successful but his mystery was part of his thing...
Jasmine Norris I don't
This album will never get old!
It still bangs after 9 years
@@aryanjawalkar07real
This song is a downright masterpiece. This is the most direct and straightforward song to fans I've ever heard and its absolutely lovely..
after heartless, i'm here.
I am jealous , to be able to hear these classics for the first time again.... enjoy !
hm well at least u can hear his good old stuff, dont think youre xo
Damm
@@chumbo8032 So if you like Heartless along with his other old songs you're not a fan?

"I been honest for too long"
Realest shit I've heard anybody say.
It's "on this too long" but tbh this makes way for sense and is way for personal.... I like that better
Yeah I peeped that after listening to it a couple of times, but you're right, that mighta sounded better LOL
he actually says I been on these streets for too long
+prettysmile8610 Although it's not what's said, that's a really good line.
lol yeah I caught that after the fact lol
Rolling Stone - A person who is unwilling to settle for long in one place. ❤
i like how his voice sounds with acoustic. it sounds amazing with all the sound effects but with just acoustic its a whole new level
The Weeknd makes me wanna cry sometimes , because on some real shit , its like he knows exactly how we feel and say things we wouldn't say for us in his songs .
#Thumbs up if you feel the same :D
Gotcha
9 years ago today he showed his face to the public !!! Xo forever love y’all , and he really foreshadowed him blowing up and being different in a way . !
the way he sang these (1:44 / 1:58). period. eargasm. heavens.
eyes closed, headphones in, volume up
and song on replay..
Weeknd has his own genre in music.

Welcome to tripping without drugs.
Abels a great artist to say the least, but his trilogy holds a special place

Every Weeknd fan tends to over-indulge :)

Not a memory ...but the memory of an old feeling lost long ago, forgotten until this drags it back to the surface. Trying to hold that feeling until it fades away again. Emotion. Pure. Human.
I can relate to this
yes, now they all love ya
I like him this way.. when only a couple million people know him, when hes under the radar... He's like your own special dream.
Well this didn’t age well
@@rachelh2240 it aged when it was released lol
whole another level of music and art
These are the only versions i listen too. Real fans know the real version of coming down too
That one had an anime sample
this song always gives me chills when he literally describes his future. i'll always love abel's music but THIS is my comfort place
“so baby love me...before they all love me”
who else loved him before they all did? 💔
maranda chomp yuppppppp
i was like 7 or 8 so I barely knew about him
but ive been with him since i stumbled upon Odd ook thru Kavinsky thru Gangstar Vegas
og XO fans
My favorite Weeknd song always and forever ♥️ The accuracy of the lyrics are frightening. Nothing compares to those 1st three mixtapes!
ngl i am actually crying i remember the moment i first heard this sound. i still get goosebumps
this picture is kinda weird. i swear he looks exactly like how he looks at the Starboy era (2016-2017) but this picture was from 2011 (or even before that) and by that time he didn't had the hair like that and he didn't even got his full beard like in Starboy... idk this picture is kinda weird for me lol
true!
Bro stop smoking weed 😂✋🚬
I thought the exact same thing! And the creepy thing is that this song is about how his music is going to change and who he's going to become - in the Starboy era...
hes the same person with the same face & hair type....i dont get whats weird
I don't think he looks like the Star boy era to be honest
The weekend lives for us, he sings for us, he's basically giving us him self .
Classic 🔥🔥🔥 One of my favorite songs ever from The Weeknd. He's one of the 🐐.
This is the type of song that makes me miss the old weeknd :/
this whole mixtape makes me miss the old weekend ..man smh he used to make some good sh*t
+Tiffy Shackelford he still does wtf? that's how you know you ain't a real one
+xowknd soop smh yep.
+xowknd soop It's alright at best, still doesn't come close to his old mixtape.
So what did y'all make of the new album?
Oh, lord his voice sends chills down my spine. I absolutely love him.
The pain in his voice at 3:01...mannn
...no you're crying :'(
I swear I cried

this song is so cute... i like to listen to it while it's raining, cuddling in my blanket thinking about who this song reminds me of ♥
i love the weeknds voice, it's so comforting.
Old but gold.
This song just brings back so many memories from a time before. X0
missing the old weekend bruh, your music was and still is unike, only nothing has replaced trilogy . xo
It's fun to go down and browse the treasures.
THIS PIC LEGIT CAN PASS FOR A 2017 PIC
That is magical.. 😍 He is the king of dark music. I get Goosebumps everytime i listen to this. 😰 That intro music and then the guitar and above all his voice. The best singer ever!
One of my favorite songs. explains me so much.
"If you ain't XO then you gotta go"
2019 still that signature ohhhhhhhhh give me chills 😫😭
😭😭
Years are passing by and I am still coming back here, good old dark times, you came a long way Abel! I remember back in the days when Beauty Behind the Madness dropped, I was just a kid
I live these cryptic like pics he had for the mixtapes. Each one just adds to the story and vibe. I can only imagine the hype around all this in 2011.
Masterpiece.
the weeknd got me through some dark shit
Ohhhh man does it hurt to listen to this now...all these years..I'm still listening!!! it's XO for life!!
love this guy
the ending bit is awesome
You’ll probably never see this,
Abel you saved me from myself,
At times I didn’t know who I was
You helped me find myself
Helped me reach inner peace
Maybe not complete happiness
But enough to know I should never take the life I have for granted
Thank you for putting out your best work and showing what a beautiful soul you have
P.S. Hope to meet you, gain more knowledge from your great mind !!!
I'm glad you're happier now
I love to trip on your music, it feels amazing you are an amazing artist.
