When his manager Cash heard Abel's first mixtape in 2011 he was living in Miami. Within 24 hours after hearing Abel sing he abandoned his apartment and all his belongings and packed everything he had into a single suitcase and moved to Toronto to be closer to Abel. He stalked him till he met him. The rest is history. Props to people who recognize genius without being told it is genius
The Host is the most unsettling combination of beauty and menace that I've ever heard. It sounds downright evil yet irresistible at the same time. No artist inspires that feeling like The Weeknd.
Abel is the only artist who can take melancholic themes like drug overdosing and depression and make it sound so god damn beautiful. Such a dark and haunting story he tells in most of his Trilogy tracks; but this track, in particular, is just so alluring and powerful. He really knows how to resonate with those who have been a victim of drug abuse and addiction and have suffered mentally cause of it. That is what is so profound and unique about Abel in Trilogy. XO till we overdose forever
If you aren't listening to these songs in order, you're not doing it right. The way every song from HOB, EOS and Thursday just flow into each other is so fucking beautiful... It's one of the reasons why I fell in love with this man and his music.
Damn, 4:47-7:29 is the strongest part of the song. He’s demanding that he’ll seek from you. He’ll test to see your wits to join him and his boys, to witness how far you’ll fall with him. His rage, he wants you to embrace it, so you’ll feel what’s he’s feeling. A controlled rage birthed from sadness and sorrow. And when you’re down, like him, the only way to go back up is to get high and ride it out. I would rather be more afraid of a person who can control their anger, than a person who cannot.
This song makes me cry. Its is a very unique representation of how drugs call to and destroy young women who party like this. This is so dark, eerie, and hypnotizing. Representing the drugs as a person who calls to you, tricks you, enters your head, and then in the end introduces you to "His Boys" which is a harder drug, and this just destroys more. This song is a work of art and one The Weeknd's best works. It is so beautiful and haunting.
This song exposes the darkness of life's fortunes and the lifestyle on drugs.... "His boys", isn't introducing you to more drugs, it's introducing "his boys" to you for group sex, gang bangs & having a train run on you by/with "his boys". ...
Can't believe he was 21 when he wrote this, the meaning behind this song is so deep, the whole project is The way he can talk about this drugs world is years above those nowdays lame ass trappers
Brianna Garcia woke up with most of your side wet. In another room you hear your mom cryin, cuz she found yo bag stuffed in the laundry, and the Bacardi from the last party
I hope he still looks back at this album (this song especially) and knows how much he captured. Been listening to this album 11+ years and don’t plan on giving it up. My favorite album of all time.
I can relate so much to Abel's music, especially his older work. Even though I have never done drugs or been interested in them. I have anxiety & depression.
ItzCrazeee Yeah honestly the production on this album is some of the best Ive ever heard. Lots of weird instrumentation and combinations but its so damn badass.
i always come back to this.... the second half.... makes me feel something so much deeper inside.i leave this world, for the remainder of the song. im sure we can all agree. xotwod
I'm here after your 3 year comment and damn it, that shit at this very moment got me feeling something majorly unexplainable.... it's fucking mind blowing, I've never heard a sound like that.. period!
I am so happy that The Weeknd is no longer homeless and is making money for his talents! You deserve all the fame and awards, Man! You deserve everything good
the way it goes into initiation "girl the night is almost done and who you came with is already gone, you said you want me but i remember who you are"......dope
I can listen to this over and over and over and never get tired or sick of it. The Host has got to be my favorite song from him all time, it’s perfect. He is such a amazing artist. The way he sings immaculate one of the best artist all time XO ♾️
Never getting tired of this, such a hypnotizing song Weeknd is so dope. I can't stop watching this track again and again. I am sure he will be #1 soon due to 💖 a u t h e n t I c v i e w s 💖

I remember getting really into him when I was junior in hs in 2014 . None of my friends cared for his music so It was like I created my own fantasy world listening to his jams. No alcohol or drugs involved, it was the music itself that made me feel high like I was floating and depressed but oh I fuckin loved it! N I was comforted to see other ppl on TH-cam commenting the same things I was feeling...Man time flies. Nostalgia to the max.
This song is insane, and guess what he's learned and grown so much from this piece of work. Evolving and crafting his talent into his new albums. If you love his old stuff but hate his new stuff I just have no words and don't understand the thought process
I love Adaptation, Professional, Belong to the World, and some other stuff on Kiss Land...but nothing beats Trilogy. 4:40 and on is SO GOOD. It's all great...I just love to lie in the dark and blast this.
He is still making music just as good...i agree this was better but he is still just as talented and I love it. Check out Mood music its a snippet from a new song on his enxt album its dope and reminds me of his old stuff..
Instant High Title of this song will be different ;) But yeah, it's really great and I can't wait for it. He's still talented but Kiss Land was not that good, for me, beats on KL were awful.
***** I mean, I didn't like every song from KL as I did from Trilogy. I love Kiss Land (track), Adaptation, Love In The Sky, Professional and that's all.
so many memories :'( , miss the trilogy era of his life , but I'm glad he's doing better these days. will always support his music since day one. Xotwod
when i started listening to the weeknds music i first thought he wants to tell his fans to try this lifestyle that is about drugs and sex and that it is awesome but when i actually got myself in this lifestyle i did finally understand that he wanted to tell us that we shouldnt make the same mistake cuz there is almost no escape from it and even if you have a fun time in reality it breaks you and you dont realize it but the people around you do XO till we overdose
The woman chanting when the song switches, the dark lyrics, the dark beat coupled with his voice. There won't be another one like trilogy by anyone ever.
This is literally a movie soundtrack. Echoes of silence . That three track run of montreal outside then this. If i wanted to introduce the weeknd to someone it'd be this song
I forgot just how much I loved The Host. It just completely puts you into a completely different state of mind. God, Abel Tesfaye is a fucking geniuse. Reppin' XO til' We OD
The weeknd's old music taught me to cope with depression, and that being lonely wasn't necessarily a bad thing. He taught me to enjoy what most people would consider negative emotions? but then i became best friend with weed, oh well
This man is not just a great musician, he is an artist. The first part of this song is about someone who has ruined their lives partying, taking drugs, etc. Then the second part, connected by the line “if they don’t let you in, you know where to find me”, details this same broken individual taking refuge and slipping back into her old habits after the cold reality illustrated by the first part. Thus contenting the cycle.
I used to listen to this all the time in 2012, one of my favourite songs. I've just got back into The Weeknd. Starting with his newer stuff which I love, the direction he's taking his music is incredible but it doesn't compare to this, Thursday HOB and Echoes of Silence are on another level. There's an incredible atmosphere on his older stuff
Whenever i feel emotional I listen to the weekend and I feel nothing but this dark bliss from his music that inspires my fucking SOUL. Long live XO Abel is a fucking legend.💯💯💯
Hey Guys, I’m a big fan of The Weeknd and I just made a motivational video about his life and career and I would really appreciate you guys checking it out. I really put a lot of dedication and effort into this video to make it the best I can and my goal is for Abel to hopefully see it or at least hear about it. So if you can just do me a solid as a fan and check it out that would be greatly appreciated. Thank you so much and I hope everyone stays safe!! LINK: th-cam.com/video/ekrSPg34zuM/w-d-xo.html
This is the only other song off trilogy that matches the feeling and the atmosphere of House of Balloons, nothing comes close to overwhelming me as much, and ironically they were both created from stems of the same demo, along with Crew Love

That's all I came 4
Time goes by fast.
and the way it goes into initiation is just AMAZING
Can we talk about the transition to Initiation.......UGH SO GOOD
FR
And to think those are not the two tracks that transitioned into one another is crazy

Definitely agree XOTWOD
Imma steal some for caption
Abel's demonic lyrics wit' angelic vocals + his producer Illangelo on Trilogy makes it very mysterious for sure
This is his best album, I don't care if u disagree. This is vintage fucking weeknd. You can hear his soul escape clearly, it's phenomenal.
Excuse me project not album
I totally agree ! 👏🏽
+RythmicalJoni Cotn, trilogy and thursday, house of balloons and kiss land kick ass are the best too
All of his first 3 mixtapes were great. I can't choose 1 as the best. His new commercial stuff doesn't come close
Agreed. Miss his old music.
If you aren't listening to these songs in order, you're not doing it right. The way every song from HOB, EOS and Thursday just flow into each other is so fucking beautiful... It's one of the reasons why I fell in love with this man and his music.
righttt, plus it tells a cool story
Brittany Gonzalez rando
Yeah, one I can remember off the top of my head is the after party into coming down
It doesn’t make sense if you play it that way. There are many Thursday references in EOS
xobrinnie so true
Never getting tired of this, such a hypnotizing song
agreed, im addicted to this song
Damn, 4:47-7:29 is the strongest part of the song. He’s demanding that he’ll seek from you. He’ll test to see your wits to join him and his boys, to witness how far you’ll fall with him. His rage, he wants you to embrace it, so you’ll feel what’s he’s feeling. A controlled rage birthed from sadness and sorrow. And when you’re down, like him, the only way to go back up is to get high and ride it out. I would rather be more afraid of a person who can control their anger, than a person who cannot.
💯
Did he actually do that shit though? Like did he make girls take drugs to get as low as him?
💀💀💀
@@tomohawkcloud yea before he picked himself up he did really bad things

if you havent already, listen to "initiation", same message but an even darker way of presenting it. even shares some lines with this song.
***** you have a dope name brotha
***** Exactly what I was thinking, put into words. Thankyou brother. I found out about the weeknd in jail and it changed my outlook on life.
This song exposes the darkness of life's fortunes and the lifestyle on drugs.... "His boys", isn't introducing you to more drugs, it's introducing "his boys" to you for group sex, gang bangs & having a train run on you by/with "his boys".

+Onyinyechukwu Nnodum Excellent comment, this all makes so much more sense now. Just one more reason to love the song.
I love the beat of this song specially when he says "and if they wont let you in, you know where to find me"

Omg but can we give props to this dope ass producer? Wow! Its addicting
Illangelo and Doc made magic

Omg like Congrats Producer! ItzCrazeee jesus, kid get a grip.
ItzCrazeee p
Illangelo is the goat for this grim, druggy, melancholy, mysterious beat! in fact, his production in The Weeknd's trilogy mixtape is golden! 🐐🔥💯
i always come back to this.... the second half.... makes me feel something so much deeper inside.i leave this world, for the remainder of the song. im sure we can all agree. xotwod
what the fuck is wrong with you?
weeknd music is about as far as u can get from school shooting lmfaooo
yesss best part of it in my opinion i mean i love the whole song but the second half just has an extra spark

My biggest wish is for The Weeknd to release an album as unique, well produced and incredible as Trilogy. I would die happy lol
TheDudecof nah. he knows his new fans would be tripping. they love his pop music. not his dark r&b
The new EP did it for me
ciscoisaboss I didn’t really see much correlation between trilogy and my dear melancholy if anything it reminded me more of kissland
He needs to link with doc mckinney again
There it is, his name is Kiss Land
''You say you want me, but I remember who you are''. For me, that was the lyric that made me cry.
I don't think Artists realized the healing work they actually do😿😿

Still listening to his old albums. There a deep work of art

The darkness with his angelic voice still feeds me. Love this song.
It still blows my mind how insanely popular Abel is now, yet so few people know about how much better his music used to be

We really do XO till’ we overdose...
All these comments from 3-5 yrs ago, anyone here still in 2019?
Ye
Tameka Winchester here
Ya guessed it right
Yes.
Waiting for chap 6 bitches
The woman chanting when the song switches, the dark lyrics, the dark beat coupled with his voice. There won't be another one like trilogy by anyone ever.
Thats the weeknd doing those vocals
This is literally a movie soundtrack. Echoes of silence . That three track run of montreal outside then this. If i wanted to introduce the weeknd to someone it'd be this song
Spyro Bandicoot then Initiation 😈
My favorite song of all time
Ables hazy outlook on life + his musical inclination = the best music out today
1. Trilogy
2. Kissland
3. After Hours
4. My Dear Melancholy,
5. Beauty Behind The Madness
6. Starboy
*UPDATED WITH AFTER HOURS*
... facts
Noise EP?

This man make really wonderfull music X'O FOR LIFE 💕
favorite weeknd song
This song is so fucking under rated.
yes
Definitely my fav off echoes of silence
@@BrandNewAlien yessss
Agree! #XO 🖤
Still is
This era of the weeknd i miss soooo much. I was very young, partying, and living life.
XO don't you forget !!! ❤💫
I forgot just how much I loved The Host. It just completely puts you into a completely different state of mind. God, Abel Tesfaye is a fucking geniuse. Reppin' XO til' We OD
The weeknd's old music taught me to cope with depression, and that being lonely wasn't necessarily a bad thing. He taught me to enjoy what most people would consider negative emotions? but then i became best friend with weed, oh well
2020 and this still makes me cry.. wow
mysticbrown i get it
this album can never be old
This is soo much more raw than the album version its so differently beautiful
Dark R&B
This man is not just a great musician, he is an artist. The first part of this song is about someone who has ruined their lives partying, taking drugs, etc. Then the second part, connected by the line “if they don’t let you in, you know where to find me”, details this same broken individual taking refuge and slipping back into her old habits after the cold reality illustrated by the first part. Thus contenting the cycle.
Can’t get over how good this song is
I used to listen to this all the time in 2012, one of my favourite songs. I've just got back into The Weeknd. Starting with his newer stuff which I love, the direction he's taking his music is incredible but it doesn't compare to this, Thursday HOB and Echoes of Silence are on another level. There's an incredible atmosphere on his older stuff
Whenever i feel emotional I listen to the weekend and I feel nothing but this dark bliss from his music that inspires my fucking SOUL. Long live XO Abel is a fucking legend.💯💯💯
Weeknd was a living legend since 2011
this man does it everytime😮💨
I love how on this album all of his songs go perfectly into the next one. Its practically its own playlist!
Who hurt you abel
+Creative Nature abel's hurting y'all, fym? hahahahahah
+Hannah Burge LOL THATS SOOO FUNNI no one cares
Valerie
chump bait facts
We love Abel xo forever
This original cut is likely the best piece of music he's ever done, among a lot of great music. This song is completely, utterly, haunted.
This is probably my favorite Weeknd song of all, Abel is awesome
My favorite part of this song 5:20
agreed
yesss i used to always go back and start it from there over and over again lol
I prefer Initiation over this part, even though they're the same lyrics, but this is pretty nice as well.
my favourite part is 7:29
MrLongshot26 gtfo then
he's the best singer in the world
Erik Jaime without a doubt!
XO💯
he really is tbh
IMO, Johnny Rain is better
second best right behind Michael Jackson
“Lust over love is your mindset” great line, stands out to me.
The people who disliked need a COVID test, because they’ve got no taste
That was slicker
Ayo u funny ashit 😂😭
😂😂slick
Hey Guys, I’m a big fan of The Weeknd and I just made a motivational video about his life and career and I would really appreciate you guys checking it out. I really put a lot of dedication and effort into this video to make it the best I can and my goal is for Abel to hopefully see it or at least hear about it. So if you can just do me a solid as a fan and check it out that would be greatly appreciated. Thank you so much and I hope everyone stays safe!!

Abel has the voice of an angel... #XOTWOD
The instrumentals are just beautiful
I come here to shed a tear for what was a truly enigmatic time, *god bless you if you see this.*
This is the only other song off trilogy that matches the feeling and the atmosphere of House of Balloons, nothing comes close to overwhelming me as much, and ironically they were both created from stems of the same demo, along with Crew Love
I thought the entire Trilogy carried the HOB feeling and atmosphere no?
@@rowan9150 for Alex Fernandez probably not
My part starts at 5:00 mins "You say you want me, but I remember who you are, girl it wasn't long ago didn't think I go this far"
Omar Lopez
Laura Retzlaff hello there
3:15 those oil drum sounds in the back ground that begin here are gorgeous
spainengland1 WWWWOOOOOOWWWW
✨im listening to this classic in 2024✨
abel is one of the rare few who can take tragedy and make it melancholy. beautiful
Every time I hear this song my chest gets really heavy and I get butterflies because it's so fucking good lol. I'm weird.
That's cute lol
Ashley Colwell psh...aren't we all weird
I like the weeknd but his songs are degrading to your gender lol
I get goose bumps when I listen to his music
" meet my boys" ^ hahahahahahahah do you guys listen to his lyrics or are you cool with getting gangbanged and degraded
something beautiful happens after 4:44 i swear
The most underrated Weeknd song. No cap.
Ikr
shes in love with the concept
