i still cant wrap my mind around the fact that his first mixtapes are literally all time goats. how do you start your career with some of the best sounds ive ever heard..
@@nsh7f5 and? most artists already start music during their childhood, im talking about his career. and since those are his first official releases as theWeeknd it’s the start.
Taylor Henry because that was a time in which he put his feelings/emotions he had at the time into his songs. Its who he was. His new songs are just pop songs for money
It’s plenty of his unreleased songs back then, in 2015 I was a huge fan of Abel but I was just a chat who didn’t understand what he’s been through but now I know what he’s been through in his past.
when he says “ make yourself at home” those god damn vocals give me chills I love how he layers his voice he does that on Coming Down, Twenty Eight, and Valerie. BASICALLY EVERY SONG and that’s why I love his music
I just realized that this the only song in the trilogy that has the "outside" world photo, all the other photos are either Abel inside a room or a girl's picture
I feel like Outside, XO/THE HOST, and Initiation are one big story. “Outside is him talking the girl about how once she lets herself come with Abel she will be attracted to him sexually and intimately. XO/THE HOST is the second part to this story, of him talking about the darker side of him. She finally gives him the chance to let him take her home, but now there’s consequences. He is “host”-ing her in his home, and she will soon learn the truth. Initiation is the ending to this book. She is so attracted to him and his ways that it is not him begging anymore, it is in-fact her, and she doesn’t know what she got herself into yet. Little does she know, shes in for a wild ride...
I know I saw someone comment "one of his greatest songs" on his song 'often' and everyone agreed I'm like its really good but the fuck is wrong with y'all do u even know what trilogy is???
[Verse 1] I'll let you show me his moves Let you do what he taught you Let you reminisce how you used, to do Girl I’m open to anything that'll get you into that zone And understand that we’re all alone So you can slowly take off your clothes Baby girl you know what's in store And baby I will stay up all night I've been goin' hard since last night And I'mma go harder tonight Wish you could see you through my eyes Ooh I'm telling you this ain't the same And I know he's still in your brain I'm 'bout to burn that shit into flames Once I'm in you Baby [Hook] Forget what you know Make yourself at home 'Cuz baby when I'm finished with ya you won't wanna go Outside [Verse 2] And I'mma work you like a pro, baby And, you gon' take it like one Yeah you gon' take it like one And I'mma give it like you asked for it Why, cuz you been talkin' 'bout it I know you been talkin' 'bout it Ooh baby when I'm done with you You ain't saying nothing Yeah you ain't saying nothing Ooh baby when I'm done with you You ain't saying nothing Yeah you ain't saying nothing You gon' make me show off All the pain that you feel you can tell that we ain't making no love But I'll pretend Oh girl, I'll pretend If you pretend then girl I'll pretend Let's make it seem like we're all we need in the end
I was always wondering is it a real picture or a drawing in the video? For some reason it looks not real to me, like it’s 4am and city is sleeping but these buildings aren’t real
I found this song when I was 12 and I’m going on 20. Every year of my life I listen to this song. But each year it means something different to me. When I was 12 it confused me, when I was 15 I let it teach me how to live, when I was 17 it taught me who I want to be in this world. And at 19 it’s tells me who I need to be.
You’ve been around long enough, you got some poems in there, idk dude I think u should try writing ur own song based on experiences The Weeknd is a good mentor when it come ato lyrics tbh
11 years ago and I’m still here admiring this song like it was only yesterday! Best artist of all time! “ If only he could see himself through my eyes 👀 “ He’s seriously the best thing to ever happen to music ❤..
Returning to this song is like returning to my desires. Lust of the flesh, lust of the eyes, the pride of life. I’ve tried to be the man society wants me to be...but this speaks to me. This ministers to my flesh and resonates in my soul. This right here makes me excited. I’m here.. This is who I am.
Welcome 2023 💫 When I'm stressed, the weekend is literally my bestfriend. If you are listening this in 2050 your music taste in exquisite. Still listening...❤️ ❌⭕ 23/03/2023
Every song that is sang by the Weeknd is heaven in my ears. Most singers do not have this talent in which you want to literally replay every song in his album more than 20 times an hour. It's perfect.
@@LionProductionsHDomg you too Abel just got it like that 🔥🔥🔥 I thought I was dreaming when I was at his concert in July last year in Jersey at the MetLife stadium 🏟️
yea my fav artist his old albums was better than the newest idk it was more authentic and real like the kissland album HoB, trilogy and the other one forgot name lol@@redbone8844
I love Abel’s music, because creatively, sonically, and musically, he’s a genius. He’s definitely more pop now… but he makes full compilations of quality work and a cinema of an album. I will say, it’s nothing like the Abel from this era. It’s rare for someone to make pain and sorrows sound so beautiful. His mixtapes are both therapy and torture for the wounded soul and I’ll never stop listening. XO
This hook gives me chills. There's something so haunting about how he's what he's saying and it really makes me feel like I'm about to do some really messed up shit to someone
I’m glad I been a weeknd fan since forever, I’m sure a lot of more recent fans haven’t checked out his older stuff Classics Real raw music as well Love you man
the way this man makes me feel . I love abel so much, i will always support him no matter what. He's definitely my favorite artist and honestly probably always will be. XOOOOOO TWODDDD
anyone else feel like the weeknd talks to the you with his music it really hits u deep and make u think of what he went through and you connect with it
I wake up every morning and haze two cones while looking at the city from my balcony - this song is always part of that playlist. Amazing vocalist and song writer, there may still be hope for our generation.. (lol)

his old music is so underrated compared to his new songs. i feel like there's more meaning in his songs back then
Taylor Henry because that was a time in which he put his feelings/emotions he had at the time into his songs. Its who he was. His new songs are just pop songs for money
OQ I completely agree with you

Oh yeah so many deep meanings....🤦♂️
2024 anyone??
...
although these are not my fav songs outside, the host/xo, and initiation is probably the best 3 song stretch in any weeknd album
Every fckng years I’m there
Of Course!
yup
the weeknd is taking over my life
i knoww riggghht!!
He's keeping me ME
me too lol
Agree
my life too :(
Very overlooked song, even by the hardcore fans.
+FactOverFiction That's because the song preceding it in the mixtape is bomb
Right!!!
very agreed lol
+FactOverFiction i agree with you! tbh im a person who overlooked this song, until now
So true.It's criminally underrated!!
when he says “ make yourself at home” those god damn vocals give me chills I love how he layers his voice he does that on Coming Down, Twenty Eight, and Valerie. BASICALLY EVERY SONG and that’s why I love his music
Valerie hits different 🔥
bruh yes
@@IRMexican Twenty eight it’s in its own league
Illangelo
frrr
The Weeknd is like a drug. You get addicted to it. 😌
yes indeed
Facts
"Id wish you could see yourself trhough my eyes"
it's crazy how his voice is so amazing yet his lyrics are so wicked 💊
Idaly Mei haven't you heard angels voice devils lyrics
Feel same shit
wicked games
He likes to play Wicked Games
How can an artist like him exist? No one can compare
I just realized that this the only song in the trilogy that has the "outside" world photo, all the other photos are either Abel inside a room or a girl's picture
Initiation?
yo you commented on my comment on the montreal comment section, what up bro
Life of the Party has Valerie smoking outside
@@elijaht3174 sup men, lol sorry for the late Reply
I've been listening to the Weeknd since 1775
good on ya lad
same
same here man, boy t jeff wuz der
shii i been on em since 1665
me and Noah bumped his music in the Ark
I would be happiest person on this planet if I had an opportunity to go to one his shows
you should !!! He really out did himself on the Kissland Tour
Amazing show when I went to his back in October of 2012 and even got a handshake. I wonder what his shows are like now... :O
You can go with me next year lol
Let’s go
I hope you did bless up!

good observation, my guy
Good transitions to the next too
Yeah cause all 3 of those songs are linked together
ALL of trilogy is one big story
Sounds romantic
2:55 the part where he holds that note is so under appreciated
😁😁😁😁
That gasp at 2:30 ... 🙊❤️
go change ya panties
bruuhhh yass 🙌
Thought I was the only one who loves that part lol
I get goosebumps. every time!
That gasp makes the song 100x better.
Been literally bumping this song for over 10 years
When my life is falling apart, I just listen to this song and the birds part 1 & 2 and everything else doesn't matter at the moment
Miguel Alarcon yesssssssss
Plus Thursday, Next and Twenty Eight.
For me Birds pt2 and Thursday is like a bloody drug
Miguel Alarcon the whole trilogy album is saving lives
Same here
All i do is Light my blunt and play Abel...after that nothing matters
saaamee routine
"And I'mma work you like a pro, baby and, you gon' take it like one,Yeah you gon' take it like one" well damn 😅 🔥
My favorite line!
As a pro this makes me feel tired 😂😂😂
The songbird of our generation. What an artist Abel is.
My first kid will be made to this song
Josh Darden If that's a boy name him Abel ;)
Embie that is a great idea!!!!
What if it's girl? Valarie
eduardo garcia Some people say that Valerie is a nickname for his ex girlfriend so I guess it's a bad idea. Diana is a great name for girl. ;)
embie Diana is a great name also!!!!!
his new fans will never understand how amazing his old music is cause most of them are just listening to the new shit
i completely agree, glad he's successful but the change in his music is drastic
Im a new fan, been a fan since January but I guess im not SUPPOSED TO be here frick
I know I saw someone comment "one of his greatest songs" on his song 'often' and everyone agreed I'm like
its really good but the fuck is wrong with y'all do u even know what trilogy is???
Mckenna Bond exactly! and your point leads right back to what I said.
they missing out and dont even know it....
[Verse 1]
I'll let you show me his moves
Let you do what he taught you
Let you reminisce how you used, to do
Girl I’m open to anything that'll get you into that zone
And understand that we’re all alone
So you can slowly take off your clothes
Baby girl you know what's in store
And baby I will stay up all night
I've been goin' hard since last night
And I'mma go harder tonight
Wish you could see you through my eyes
Ooh I'm telling you this ain't the same
And I know he's still in your brain
I'm 'bout to burn that shit into flames
Once I'm in you
Baby
[Hook]
Forget what you know
Make yourself at home
'Cuz baby when I'm finished with ya you won't wanna go
Outside
[Verse 2]
And I'mma work you like a pro, baby
And, you gon' take it like one
Yeah you gon' take it like one
And I'mma give it like you asked for it
Why, cuz you been talkin' 'bout it
I know you been talkin' 'bout it
Ooh baby when I'm done with you
You ain't saying nothing
Yeah you ain't saying nothing
Ooh baby when I'm done with you
You ain't saying nothing
Yeah you ain't saying nothing
You gon' make me show off
All the pain that you feel you can tell that we ain't making no love
But I'll pretend
Oh girl, I'll pretend
If you pretend then girl I'll pretend
Let's make it seem like we're all we need in the end
Raven Wampus ty and for also putting them in house of balloons ✌🏽
Wish you could see you through my eyes 🔥🥺
2:00
We all need that one person.
There isn't a single Weeknd song that I don't know every lyric to.. Not quite sure how this happened; but no complaints
completely agree. the lyrics just flow out of my mouth
It just happened, lol same here
XOTWOD
Word
Talent.
You're vocals are so clean. It's not forced. It just flows. So soothing🔥
It's 2023 and I am here for this timeless piece.🔥
THIS SONG STILL KILLING A LOT OF NEW SHIT I WILL NEVER NOT AMP ABEL. THAT BOY WAS WORKING OVERTIME ON THIS ONE
I was always wondering is it a real picture or a drawing in the video? For some reason it looks not real to me, like it’s 4am and city is sleeping but these buildings aren’t real
All the pain that you feel you can tell that we ain't making no love
luvvvvvv the xylophone in the background
Fellow band member? I feel you lol
The Little Girl Emoji pw
It sounds like kiss land it has a japanese vibe
This song kept me alive in my hardest times :)
Fr I'd like to say me too. Throw the head phones on and I'm somewhere else
Music changes lives did for me glad it helped u out also keep fighting for whT u want
Thought I Was The Only One I Swear 💯
Me too
One might say it kept you alive in your Dark times.
I’ll definitely put the weeknd up there as one of the greatest singers ever
He is most definitely up there. He also probabaly has the darkest subject matter of any r&b singer ever lol
I'm a relatively new weeknd fan so this is my first time hearing this and this shit is amazing
I know right
your life is gonna get much better after hearing his shit
Welcome 🈯
STILL my shit. I love this song.
Forget what you know... make yourself at home... because baby when I'm finished with you, you won't wanna go out-siiide...
What's up
I found this song when I was 12 and I’m going on 20. Every year of my life I listen to this song. But each year it means something different to me. When I was 12 it confused me, when I was 15 I let it teach me how to live, when I was 17 it taught me who I want to be in this world. And at 19 it’s tells me who I need to be.

Damn u a poet
You’ve been around long enough, you got some poems in there, idk dude I think u should try writing ur own song based on experiences

Too bad he doesn't make songs like this. You can literally feel the intensity of this one.

This song is just wowww.... Does it speak to anybody else???? Matter of fact all his emotions rides his voice and lyrics

Compared to his music now he isnt this toxic anymore, he’s healing 😂 His old music will always be the greatest
Thank you
Whoelse like that transition
We all should Admire ILLANGELO as much as we admire him, ILLangelo style of making music is unique that only suites with the weeknd's voice
Illangelo, Doc, Jerm. Everyone knows that producers have the idea but just need the voice.
Ever noticed how some songs link together? That would be the producers & mixers beautiful work.
Yea, he definitely knew what he was doing when he made this 🔥😌
crying , throwing up and screaming
LETS BREAK IT DOWN.
his lyrics are so beautiful. they break my heart
Lol, they are beautiful till you realize they r all bout raping ...
well he makes rape sound beautiful i guess
Bernice Rodriguez hahahahahahahaha
TheHorribleTube Fuck that, no they're not. I want to throw poop at you for saying that.
Who’s still listening to this banger in 2021
This song is so special, I feel so strongly everytime I hear his songs. The feeling never goes away.
On repeat 40% of the day the other 60% is king of the fall 😛
s.o to the real fans back in 2012 at Congress theater in chicago who made his 1st sold out show !! 💯💯💯
i'm in tears this is masterpiece
best song on eos ( im never wrong)
ugh this song is so provocative and smooth I love it
Years and years later and this song still hasn't gotten old
I miss these days ...
Everything about these days .. use to blast all his songs before school, before bed, shower lol 😂
I can't name any other artist that puts so much soul in his songs
His all albums are pure masterpiece
This song is where Abel knew he was going to create Kissland
Imagine this song being released now of all times😂😅
Out of his 100+ songs, this is the one that keeps me happy and moody at the same time
This sht is literally gods gift😭
At the 2:54 mark...that run is dope AF
@Pan Cyans for sure! I've never heard anybody recognize it, let alone speak on how amazing it is!
I don't think I'll ever stop listening to the weekend Xo till the death of me
FRRRRRR XOTW MF OD .
Love the old weeknd
