    Everybody's complaining about The Weeknd changing his sound, didn't he warn us though? Listen to Rolling Stone... "I'll be different. I think I'll be different. I hope I'm not different and I hope you'll still listen." Yes it's sad we won't get this type of sound anymore but he had to switch things up. A lot of people aren't like us, they didn't care for this Weeknd. Now he's living it up and getting the recognition he deserved years ago. This music is still here to repeat whenever, just continue to love and support him. xo

    No one ever understands that his music has helped so many be it going through depression, a breakup, a loss of a loved one. Etc. It has helped and change us for the better or worse. Everyone just thinks it's all about sex and drugs, yeah that's the surface, find out what's underneath.

    I cannot describe how much I love the TheWeeknd's music. He is the only person I listen to so religiously. I used to be someone who always wanted to live alone. What do normal people do when they get this sad? They reach out to friends and family. I listened to TheWeeknd's pain. Knowing that somebody has felt the same about themselves all their life makes feeling lonely and depressed less painful. Thank you so much for the pain and pleasure. X'Ø for life.

My relationship with my hs sweetheart failed because i was a dick, i was struggling in college, my plans to be a pro athlete didn’t work and I just sat in my room all day hating my life. The. I stumbled upon this masterpiece called Trilogy and it was like a drug that eased my pain. I will forever be grateful for the weeknd and his music. I think it helped save my life. XO

      @@michaelmentality You are very strong. I am glad that you stood strong and didn't lose hope when you needed it the most. The world thinks that TheWeeknd only sings about sex and drugs, not knowing the fact that he has helped tons of people fight their daemons and win over their inner fears. Made them feel secure about their own insecurities. Vulnerabilities. The confidence that they have gained. TheWeeknd's music and the entire mysterious persona that he creates around a project is so out of this world. It is like a drug that we consume to escape from this world, even for a brief moment. Always stay strong, Michael. Stand tall against your insecurities. Focus on what you want from life. Spend your energy wisely, you're better now. XO

    The Weeknd was born Abel Tesfaye on February 16, 1990 in Scarborough, Ontario. He is of Ethiopian descent. He grew up listening to a variety of music genres, including soul, quiet storm, hip hop, funk, indie rock, and post-punk.Since Tesfaye's father was never around when he was growing up, and his mother was constantly working, his grandmother took care of him most of his young life. Because of this, Abel speaks fluent Amharic; it was the first language he learned.
    Tesfaye says he adopted the stage name, "The Weeknd," after dropping out of high school at the age of 17 and, along with a fellow crew-member, "left one weekend and never came home." The spelling was modified to avoid copyright issues with a Canadian band already named "The Weekend".

      @eltamdma227 Před 9 lety +9

      before he got big he formed a group with a dj later on tesfaye just wanted his sick beats and not to put his lyrical input, so he decisively wanted him to be his producer, he asked him if he was gonna pay him since he was his producer and no longer his band member per say , tesfaye couldent afford it ofc so he said he didint want to work with tesfaye and they cut ties, the dj gave him 3 songs, some of his most popular ones that launched his career and said he could keey the group name the weekend, he droped the "e" after they broke up, he also never gave the dj credit when they agreed he wiould give him credit on the 3 songs

    Abel: Me and Lana have been friends for a long time. I’ve inspired her, she’s inspired me. I feel like we’ve always been talking to each other through our music. She is the girl in my music, and I am the guy in her music. It’s just this ghostly collaboration that feels the most natural on the whole album. Even the whole monologue intro on “Lonely Star” from Thursday-I just realized now that that’s Lana. That’s Lana’s voice. [laughs] I mean, it’s my voice pitched up, but it’s her, it’s who she is. She was definitely the first feature that I wanted to bring on this album.

    If, all I could say is if
    Promise me you won't regret me like the tattoos on my skin
    Like the wrong kind
    Promise me you’ll all love me one day
    You’ll still remember me
    When you fuck them you’ll see my face.
    My body is yours…
    Happy Thursday
    It seems like pain and regret are your best friends
    Cause everything you do leads to them, right, right, right,
    But, baby, I could be your best friend
    Baby, I could fuck you right
    Baby, you can have it all
    Baby, you can have it all
    Baby, you can have the cars, the clothes, the jewels, the sex, the house
    Baby, you could be a star, oh yeah
    Baby, you can have it all
    Baby, you can have it all
    Baby, you can have the cars, the clothes, the jewels, the sex, the house
    Baby, you could be a star, oh yeah
    You're blaming all your sins on your best friends
    And nothing's ever ever your fault
    Nothing's your fault, baby, no
    Baby, you don't need your best friends
    Cause I got everything you want
    Baby, you can have it all
    Baby, you can have it all
    Baby, you can have the cars, the clothes, the jewels, the sex, the house
    Baby, you could be a star, oh yeah
    Baby, you can have it all
    Baby, you can have it all
    Baby, you can have the cars, the clothes, the jewels, the sex, the house
    Baby, you could be a star, oh yeah
    If, all I could say is if
    Promise me you won't regret me like the tattoos on my skin
    Let the wrong doing come to me
    One day I'm hoping that you will remember me
    When you fuck them you'll see my face
    My body is yours
    Give them any other day but Thursday
    You belong to me every Thursday
    I wait for you
    I'll be beautiful for you
    Every Thursday
    I exist only on Thursday
    Not on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday
    But on Thursday
    Not on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday
    But on Thursday
    I love the guitars

    Valerie is a innocent perfect girl at the starting of the story she turns to drugs that The Weeknd introduced her to and honestly regrets ever meeting The Weeknd by the end of the whole tale. Valerie is always a metaphor for the fans.
    Dirty Diana:
    Dirty Diana is any stripper, coke addict, ****, or groupie that The Weeknd meets. He meets the first one in The Morning.
    HOUSE OF BALLOONS
    Intro: The story starts of with House Of Balloons a story about a girl named Valerie that falls for The Weeknd a guy that isn't really isn't her kinda guy but this tape like all the others with foreshadow the future to come.
    1) High For This:
    Ok so the story begins on a Friday in The Weeknd's loft and he is telling this innocent girl named Valerie that she should hold him tight and don't let anything get in the way of there night. The Weeknd moves on from there and tells Valerie that she should be high with him for this night and that she should roll X with him even though she's never done it. She decides to drop the X he gives her and she starts getting high and she takes off her clothes from the high feeling. Now The Weeknd is telling Valerie to take deep breaths and calm down, there is nothing to worry about he has done this before and he is watching over her.
    2) What You Need:
    Now they are still high from the X and The Weeknd is telling Valerie that she should ** him. The Weeknd says that her boyfriend is who she wants and loves but she is high right now and she is horny so she needs The Weeknd. They start having sex and she is doing freaky stuff she could never imagine doing because she is high on X.
    3) House Of Balloons:
    This song starts off with The Weeknd saying that he has been on a whole new level of happiness since she has gotten here and they need to party now. They go to a party and everyone is doing all kinds of drugs. Valerie is starting to get lost in the music and the atmosphere and she does some drugs and drinks. Now she is getting anxiety from all the drugs she has never done, and she is tweaking badly. Her mind just wants to leave this place but she can't because The Weeknd has her under his spell and keeps telling her that this is a happy house and she is having fun. He also makes a warning that nothing she is doing is his fault and it is not his issue if her parents find out.
    4) Glass Table Girls
    The Party is cooling off and Valerie is still tweaking and she is really trashed. The Weeknd tells her that it is time to roll back to his crib and it's time to bring out the glass tables. She is so gone that she decides to do coke for the first time.. She starts ****in him again and the time hits half past 6 in the morning and then they crash...
    5) The Morning
    It is now the next morning it is Saturday and The Weeknd is explaining that they ****ed like crazy last nite and made the walls shake like they were 6 months pregnant. The both of them are super hung over so they are drinking alcohol with there cereal to try and calm the hangover. Now Valerie calls a cab and leaves back to her boyfriend to spend the weekend with him because the weekend is a time to spend with your loved ones for The Weeknd thats coke, sex and other drugs.. for her its her boyfriend. He now is angry and sad that Valerie left his ass so he goes to a strip club at 4 a clock in the afternoon. He is kinda drunk from the alcohol he drank in the morning and he is drinking more. He begins to throw money at strippers to drowned his pain and he starts to say that he is getting drunker and higher and that the fall will hurt but he needs this downtown lovin. He takes home a Dirty Diana at the end of her shift later that night and..
    6) Wicked Games
    The Weeknd tells her that he left his thoughts about Valerie back home and he doesn't love her anymore (Which is a joke rofl). He wants to sleep with Dirty Diana and he needs her body and the drugs she has to erase the shame and pain because the girl he fell in love with last night just ****in left his ass. They start ****ing and getting trashed and says he can offer her fame and his love if she just lies and says she loves him for this night because he needs this for his confidence.
    7) The Party
    It is the next morning and it is Sunday The Weeknd wakes up to the sound of Dirty Diana sniffing coke in the bathroom. He tells her that he understands that she needs coke and he is fine with it and she should come outside and put that ** on the table because he loves coke to. He even says they should snort together. Hell she can even call some friends up to join and he can can even supply.
    8) The After Party
    The Weeknd keeps doing lines with her and he feels amazing, everything he touches feels amazing. They head to her place to get more coke and The Weeknd is shocked they made it to her place. He says that all these girls are talking about how she has no love for him and she just wants him from his fame but he just says that none of these girls have ever had a blow job from her (lol). At this point his mother is calling worried about him and he wants her to stop calling because he won't pick up because he is coked up.
    9) Coming Down (Letters To Valerie [Part: 1])
    He is now coming down off the coke and he is back home... He tells Valerie that he sleept with Dirty Diana but its okay he was fadded and coked up and he forgot about his love for her. He goes on to say that he always wanted her and he is coming down he is off the drugs and all he wants is her. He keeps leaving voicemails on her phone saying that and saying that he just wants to talk he is all alone :(
    10) Loft Music (Letters To Valerie [Part: 2])
    Now it is late Sunday it the end of the weekend and The Weeknd is telling Valerie that she should roll through the city with him tonight to end the weekend and that it doesn't matter if her going back to him looks like she has lost her morals because in his loft that doesn't matter. He end the voicemail by saying that she is ed for not wanting to go to his loft and he wants to know if she is even thinking about him because he can't get his mind off her.
    11) The Knowing
    Valerie calls The Weeknd back and tells him that she just wants to stay with her boyfriend. He tells her that he knows all about how she doesn't care for him anymore and she should look at what she has done and how she has made him feel. Also the weekend is now over, they both are drunk because they both are hurt from what has happened and he just keeps telling her this is her fault.
    12) Twenty Eight
    This is months after Echoes Of Silence and this is his over view of how it all started House Of Balloons.
    The Weeknd is looking at the fame and the women and he comes back to Valerie. He says that she isn't truly welcome in his home but when he says that he means in his mind. He continues to say that she isn't welcomed but thoughts of her still stay on his mind. Next he sees that its not her fault she's not even there the thoughts of her are all his own doing. And that he should have never welcomed her into his world. The next verse is about all the DDs one in particular that he gave his number that keeps giving it away to other people. These girls are clearly flooding his mind though and there controlling him like Dirty Diana. (This verse also is talking about how the fans told everyone to listen to his music and now he has more fans then he is personally wanted at first, he is saying why did you guys share all my music I'm becoming to big and I can't get out of the spot light. He also goes onto say that he would never made this music if he knew he couldn't go back to the way it was). Now he goes onto say that he wishes he never picked up these love less groupies. The song is also a double entendre for Coke he is pretty much saying that he should have just left the Coke in the club but it keeps following him into his everyday life because he is so addicted to it.
    (Video analyzation: He is doing a interview and its show the media and how he doesn't enjoy the media and how it bores him.. All the imagery out side of the media is what going threw his head. The girl on the bed is suppose to be Valerie (she is dressed like she was back in the House Of Balloons days) that can only see him from the outside (the tv) but she is in his mind always haunting him even durning the interview. Know the visuals for the next two verse are simply all the women that he's have **ed and he doesn't really care about them he still only cares about Valerie. He knows all these women are fake and just want him for his status which is why he sits back and just enjoys them for there looks in return but he is still haunted by Valerie. The final scene shows him leaving the studio and walking back to where Valerie is because he wants her back. On a music level this shows that he is leaving behind all the bull ** again and he just wants to put out music for the fans. And like always Valerie represents the OG fans. So when he is being haunted by her he is actually being haunted by the OG fans that want quality music and he knows he would be no where without them.. So he is coming back to us with and he just wanted to make this video to close the chapter and all the media and money that came with it. With a single music video and he is saying that he is going back to the art, the music :D)

    In my opinion (and i highly stress that this is my opinion, so don't get offended) Thursday holds his best piece of work ever. it is better than HOB and EOS. But whenever I look at comments on CZcams or general comments about his recent work, Thursday seems to be ignored. This and Kiss land are so underrated.

    • @smz2009

    If you listen to Thursday, The Birds Part1, Birds pt 2, and then Lonely Star in order it seems to tell the story of a girl who started out as his side chick, started to catch feelings, and then kill herself in birds part 2 at the beginning. Then this song seems to say what he would do if he could have her back, and regrets not paying attention to her

      Yeah. A lot of music is much more watered down, though not all of it! Dig through and there's plenty of great artists/songwriters though they don't get as much recognition. Sad many people don't care about lyrics and a "story" in a song.

    I love how M.I.A morphed this into 'Sexodus' off of her record Matangi. She did a brilliant job working with The Weeknd... check it out if you haven't already.
