      I've listened to about 80% of his work on his TH-cam channel, and frankly, other than this song, "In your eyes" and "Save your Tears" I don't find ANYTHING of his as being good previously. Starboy actually could have been good, but the vulgarity and his saying "ah" and "ya" FAR too much ruined the song, bad writing.

    I have to say: I could not believe that you haven't heard this before, it was/is literally the biggest song of 2020. And it is so AMAZING!!!! I've heard it so much on the radio that I really should have been tired of it by now, but no: every single time I get so pumped up and turn the volume up. He reallyhit the jackpot with this one.
    For the music video, I must say that coming from a tiny little north european country I'm SOOOO PROUD OF ANTON TAMMI, the super talented director of this mv!!! To all my fellow Finns out there, I think it is fair to say "TORILLE"!

    The song definitely slaps sonically and at first I just thought it was a sappy love song. However what makes the song interesting lyrically is that he's actually singing about his relationship with drugs (a common theme in his music). If you re-listen to the lyrics with that in mind it adds a whole other dimension. Nice reaction btw, would love to see you cover tracks from the Weeknds early discography, its a different vibe but I have no doubt you'll love that too :)

    You should check out the whole discography of The Weeknd, he started as a very dark and gritty artist, and he is still a dark artist but adding more pop and mainstream sounds in his latest work, but he started as a dark R&B artist and his first albums are full of masterpieces. You should check it out. Plus, you'll get a lot of subscribers with him lol.

    First of all this was so cute to watch lol I loved the reaction. I’m into metal and stuff too but I own this on vinyl the whole album is amazing especially if you like 80s synth like I do too. Also I thought this was more Ah Has take on me and Save Your Tears is very Q Lazarus Goodbye Horses. Watch the album break down videos gave me more insight and hidden messages I didn’t get the first 100 times lol. Also Faith right after heartless leading into blinding lights is my favorite song but the whole album is like a cinematic masterpiece it’s good start to finish. I recommend to everyone!

      I’d love to get my hands on a vinyl copy of this album. I think in another video of his I mentioned I thought it would sound great on vinyl. I’ve been slowly upgrading my audio setup and I’ve got a solid kit going for vinyl 🤘🏼🤘🏼

    Then you come to find out that he writes his own lyrics and music and he used to write songs for a lot of other people before he went off on his own.

    One of the big influences of the music video that I can see is the book/movie Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas with Johnny Depp.

    Since this is 4 months ago you may have already reacted to my two favorites of his, Twenty Eight and Wicked Games. So dark and Moody! Luv them..

    I've noticed that "Blinding Lights" has a very similar beat to "Take On Me". So you're totally correct that it has an 80's feel to it.

    Everything he touches is amazing! I wish u would have started from the beginning of his career cause if u knew his old stuff and his personal life this song would mean more to u. He’s brilliant! He’s the closest thing to Michael Jackson I’ve ever seen. He actually covers Dirty Diana. It’s sick!

    • @MetalGuyReacts
      @MetalGuyReacts  4 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      Desiree Zachry I love Dirty Diana! I’m 100% adding that to my list. What are some of his earlier tunes I should check out?

    • @desireezachry8086
      @desireezachry8086 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Metal Guy Reacts start with his album Trilogy and u can pick pretty much any song. Rolling Stone and 28 are what hooked me in on that album. He doesn’t have a single song I don’t like. I’ve always been a rock fan but The Weeknd, Billie Eilish, Lana Del Rey ,and Melanie Martinez kinda took over my stero for the last few years.
