This song is for his fans. The girl in the video represents us his fans. In the beginning of the video, the girl is completely covered with clothing, as the song progresses and The Weeknd sings about how he is inevitably going to go mainstream and that he hopes we still listen. If you pay attention, every time the camera is panning out, she is losing clothing. That represents his fans “losing interest” because he’s changing. When the cameras are flashing on him, that represent The Weeknd’s emergence to the pop scene, the fans are still listening but they are losing interest fast because he’s no longer a mystery and has gone mainstream. By the end of the song The Weeknd is by himself and the fans have left him because he is no longer the person he was at the beginning of his career. It’s a very deep song. The Weeknd basically predicted the future. He dedicated this song to his fans hoping that we still listen. It’s been almost ten years and we still listen! After Hours is a master piece!
Rolling Stone is a song foreshadowing his success. He knew his career was going to take off, after the success of his mixtapes. The music video, to me, shows almost a reluctant side of him. I mean, the fact that this music video is the photoshoot for the cover of trilogy and he’s alone at the end kind of shows that fame is lonely. That’s what I got from it at least.
Abel was homeless, but not in a sleeping on the streets sense. He left his Mom's home, and became a sofa surfer at friend's homes. He was never actually a vagrant.
From H O B to A H …, you hear and see the growth but you can go back and listen from his first release to his latest release and still feel the same awe for the whole magical artistry that the weeknd brings every single time
Yes this song was to his fans and Yea I agree his old shit tops his new shit and simply just the ambience it had and also simply for the fact that in his old music his voice was the prominent instrument per say in his old music like rolling stone, Gone, Loft music, Coming down, high for this, same old song, the zone, etc had that rawness and didn’t take away from the simplicity of his voice. His new music is just more complex his voice isn’t the driving force anymore although I do believe alone again is my favorite
I think when he meant a bout going with the flow he meant he goes with the flow in life, his letting life take its course. Whatever comes, comes and wherever goes,it goes
For the first time after jamming this song for years I thought about him saying “why you think I fucking flow?”. Some reason I heard “ why you think I fuck and flow?” And it makes a lot more sense.
Only stuff that fucked with his old music was honestly BBTM and my dear After hours and like 2 songs, other than that, Abel shouldve kept more of his og team around him that prolly had him work more on songs and ideas, i feel like he rushed it, but i guess it always grows in you know. Kissland was amazing, bbtm just took the usa by surprise, he popped out of nowhere, with the hair and the dance moves, man what an era to remember
The weeknd wasn't homeless he ran away 1 weekend with his friend whence his name and he removed the 'e' as there is a band called the weekend, he was staying in a van and that's when he started his music career
Until youre used to my pain and my misery fades. I got you. Oooooh. I remember hearing that line when I was still in the military, EXPEDITIONARY SIGNAL BATTALION(s), knowing youre just there for fun but ya'know... you didnt want it all to be fun.

Facts
This song was a love letter to his fans as he was blowing up that's why at the end he says I hope you'll still listen. Look it up
Us xo fans that been there since day 1 know when he looks away from the light and starts singing towards the dark just hits us different.
Now you gotta do The Weeknd - Twenty Eight
Just 28 likes for twenty eight ???!
Yes
The Weeknd came from a dark place. This is it
This is my all time favorite Weeknd song

Dude likes that raw version of the weeknd .less complicated production straight foward but strong lyrics and just belting out high notes.
"His new music is not fucking with his older music"....You are absolutely correct sir! XOTWOD 🖤🖤
Actual fact
XOTWOD
Abel was homeless, but not in a sleeping on the streets sense. He left his Mom's home, and became a sofa surfer at friend's homes. He was never actually a vagrant.
