He wrote this song while being homeless. Performing this during the Halftime show of the most watched sports event in the world must have felt friggen amazing for him.
That change In the middle is Incredible!! Goes from this party song everyone cheering and having fun, to a “my drink got spiked” nightmare in just that one change. It’s SO GOOD.
idk why people hate that he changed, i love how each album is different and amazing in its own way. if you want to get fucked up listen to trilogy or kissland. if you want to cry listen to after hours or my dear melancholy,. starboy if you want to get hype.
you cannot say that THIS song isn't a freaking masterpiece for me in all of the songs he did this one is THE most powerful and artic. So much is happening the emotions, the story, the lyrics everything is perfect even the fact that it's 6 min long and that he didn't write it in a happy house... that's for sure.
Have been deep diving into his older stuff, this song is a vibe. First time listening, instant dopamine rush (as with all of his songs), will never get old to me. What a great artist.
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
In my eyes = the soul Basically he is saying the person he is from the outside(face). Is different than his true self (soul), which is why the outside is no longer recognizeable.
@@atom0824 there are definitely layers to that lyric. 1. people change. the weeknd discusses the subtle disappointing women have upon learning of his true nature or demons. or how he has changed/will change over time. 2. they're so fucking faded that nothing makes sense and you cant recognize anyone. its not the most lyrically complex line, but it is very good, simplistic, and arguably relatable.
Timeless classic. 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 💖
Saw him in concert for Kiss Land. He played this song and on the first sentence the entire crowd screamed it with him. Best concert I have ever attended. Only artist who sounds even better live.
My favourite album of all time!!!! Every single song sounds different than the last. It changed the landscape of rnb as we know it today and it takes you on a crazy rollercoaster ride that doesn't let you go until the very last song. Thank you Abel for making an album so impactful and I will hold this album dear to my heart XOTWOD ❤
I love the real song "happy house" and I also love the weekends music so I'm listening to old songs that I dont know and I love his music even more than before
Real XO fans know.. man when this song first came out it was like a drug. So many memories tied in with this song and my younger 18 yr old party/trap days. Had a couple House of Balloon themed parties in honor of this song. Fun, crazy times. Now 10 years later I am 28, a mother to a beautiful child, matured and grown n sexy, a whole different woman. Memories memories, I will always love this song ❤
This was the first The Weeknd song I've ever heard, then rushed immediately to download the full album. So lucky. Still remember hearing his voice for the first time and asking WHO IS THIS GUY SINGING?? Now so many people think this album is a recent release 🤣
Now THIS has some old school Weeknd vibes holyyyyyy Weeknd dun took off HAM ON THIS RIGHT HERE! a u t h e n t I c v i e w s dun took his career off 2 the next level fr fr no cap
God, wow! This is wonderful. Transitions, words - everything is beautiful in this song. This will live forever, 13 years have passed and this song is still listened to and used as a soundtrack. Admiration and nothing more!
Thanks. I'm a newer fan and I decided to listen to some of his older songs and now I'm HOOKED. I love some of his old songs like house of ballons/glass table girls and twenty eight, Montreal and the zone!
Hearing the Siouxie and the Banshees sample in this song during the super bowl is what caused me to completely re-examine The Weeknd, he knows his stuff
This whole song is a trip. The first part is so happy. Just like when you first get high but then the second part is the come down. I hate when the song finishes. Because then you have to replay it. Then you have to get high again and come down once more. And you are caught in a cycle of ecstasy and pain. UPDATE: Lol oh shit 4 years later and I never thought this comment will get crazy likes, thanks guys! I was high af when I wrote the comment. So while I was listening I was also riding out the physical feeling. Today I think the first part is “happy” but in an eery and destructive way. Ghoulish almost as someone mentioned here, with something hiding behind the “happiness”. I miss those Trilogy days man, but look where our boy is at today, number 1! Love and blessings to you all! XOTWOD
+King Martin I get the same way, almost, except I can only get about 20 seconds into Glass Table Girls. The moods are so different, and I find myself repeating the whole "trip" many many times. Music is just another drug this song is potent... addicting.
Heard it a thousand times and i believe i wouldn't live long enough to have enough of this one. Exceptional gift to mankind! So, thank you for existing in my lifetime, cannons. ❤
It's amazing when you look back at how much this guy has influenced the r and b scene. Even with the so many amazing songs to come out that have been influenced by him, when I hear songs like these ones and the zone I still get transported to some other world where a rare few others can. He really has something special.
Damn this version is so much more raw and uncut than the one on Trilogy. The sound is so much better on this version, you feel the ruggedness and grind of his life more
This man lived 2 hours away from me (Toronto back then) and I'm only really looking into his albums now. Grew up heavily in the music scene, so to say I'm ashamed is an understatement. I've been sleeping. I'm glad the halftime show brought me here; it was the MJ undertones that hooked me in, but Abels uniqueness is whats got me here to stay.
I remember hearing this once and was wondering what the name was and asked people but they shrugged it off as if they knew but wouldn’t tell me. One of my top favorites from him 🖤
Siouxsie & The Banshees is the elixir sustaining the first half of the Happy House here. Haha...Saw them in concert "back in the days"... Abel using a Siouxsie track sample as the core of this track was wonderful & nostalgic. That, and alluding to the Cocteau Twins ('Heaven or Las Vegas') really had me thinkin', "This guys sonic landscapes..." 🎼🎶🎧🎛🔊 ...and a lotta folks will never know...
Just bought Trilogy today and had this song on repeat for hours. I can't get enough of it. This goes down as one of my faves. I have 5 of his albums and ONLY listen to the weekend in my car. ONLY the Weeknd in my car. My son put me on this. The first song i ever heard was Wicked Games and been in love with him ever since
It’s 3.57am im listening to hob/gtg on repeat staring at my ceiling this song never fails to bring chills to my spine. I wish i was ten yrs older so i could have found abel’s music sooner 😩😩xotwod
If you really look at it, lyrics are scary ass shit. Poor girl can't breathe and trying to leave but he just tells her to open the window and trying to convince her that in fact it's really a happy house and that they're happy and it's fun and she's terrified, but she "belongs to him" and he won't let her go. Abel is a fucking genius.
Not really scary, just ironic. its not like shes inhaling Joker gas or noxious fumes lol. Its just weed smoke or drug smoke. They arent happy, so the irony is that its a happy house. Also, I think one of the samples comes from a song that has the same irony so he might have been influenced by it.
I remember hearing this for the first time in my hallway in high school on newly released pandora and everyone told me it was weird and moody 😂 ten years later I’m married and screaming when this plays at the Super Bowl
Yes. I went down all his mixtapes rabbit hole. Got sucked in because it reminded me of my quarter life crisis. Didn't live what he writes about but thought almost everything. If only they took something other than photos.
As a lover of post punk and synth, this song does great service to goth music. This track incorporates the musical style and post punk beats of the scene, even sampling directly the lyrics of goth icon Siouxsie Sioux herself. This is awesome.
It's more Industrial than Goth. The Glass Table Girls part had Nine Inch Nails' Closer sampled into the music. (Unless I'm stupid and I don't realize that Industrial music and Goth music are the same thing.)
I'm old and a dad. I have always been a major Rock and Alternative Rock fan. I complain about "music these days." The Weeknd is the best artist I have heard in the last 20 years.
First starboy, and then after hours and then beauty behind the madness, my dear melancholy, and now I'm here. Gotta say this dude keeps growing and growing . He has this thing with his voice he can express his feelings so easy. And you can feel the same feeling he is feeling in the song. It's just unbelievable and amazing..gotta say this has to be my favourite track ever. LEGIT.
Yeah, may I reccomend Tears in the rain, adaptation, love in the sky (listen til the end on that one, it changes), kissland (Also has a transition in the middle), pretty, the birds, wicked games, twenty eight, the knowing and high for this. The rest will come to you.
I'm not an OG I started from blinding lights but when I heard all his other songs....and I thought.how tf didn't I hear any of this legend's songs before .... I'm so thankful that I did listen to them.... This man is the greatest of our generation....and man these old songs slap so hard...i am obsessed with this man and his music. XO FOREVER.
same here. I knew him from can't feel my face and the hills but after hearing after hours i finally got into all his old stuff and holy fuck i'm in love. if it wasn't for all these mixtapes i wouldn't be such a diehard fan rn.
y o u b e l o n g t o m e .
such haunting words.
f r e a k y 👅
Yassss
I am 12 and this is deep
@@stockbegone9671 i am 12 too lol
THAT TRANSITION WAS INSAAAANE
helll yeahhhh
Shit was too fire 🔥
Best part of the show for sure
Life ain't about him it's about you. The Weeknds sound is something we choose. Be yourself there is no god everyday brings something new.
That shit was crazyyy
12 years later and this song hasn't lost an ounce of its power. Timeless classic.
XOTWOD for life
yes bro
frrr
Omg really?? Bro I thought it's a new song I didn't realize it until I saw the date of it !!
How didn’t I know about him 11 years ago? Where was I?
The fact that I got to hear this live is still so surreal to me 😭
Was insane
Frrr
Sameeee
STOP MAKING ME JEALOUSSSS
A dream came true to me
He wrote this song while being homeless. Performing this during the Halftime show of the most watched sports event in the world must have felt friggen amazing for him.
I think the World Cup is the most watchED sport event in the world but yeah. He is a musical genius! XOTWOD. Homeless to performing for millions!!
*most watched sports event in America*
Halftime show isn't even top 5 but yeah go on Abel
Siouxsie Sioux wrote this song,
Why y'all mad over the most watched sport 😂
He played this at the Super Bowl for the OG fans, and that’s why you’re here.
The 10 seconds of this threw me back SO hard. Had to come and vibe for a bit lol
YUPP!
yup
yup
XO till we overdose
i didn't expect that this song was released 13 years ago
Fr
Lol it's sampled by sioxsie and the banshees not sure when but it's from the 80s I think
That change In the middle is Incredible!! Goes from this party song everyone cheering and having fun, to a “my drink got spiked” nightmare in just that one change. It’s SO GOOD.
He didn't have to perform this at the super bowl. It's not one of his biggest hits. He did it for the OG's and I respect him so much for it.
yupp
And for the 10th anniversary of this song
@@deadpaul6415 old fan of him
He did it because it’s a great song
And that shit was creepy as fuck lmaoo but still cool as fuck
When Abel played This at the super bowl, he said "I don't forget where I came from" (without saying a word)
This is the ONE!
Also the fact that he transitioned it with blinding lights aka one of his biggest hit is mind blowing. He came so far.
Yeah man, Parkdale Proper.
shut up
@@username9068 ?
It’s been 12 years and this song still and will always have a place in my heart
This song will always be my favorite. The vocals, the beats, the lyrics, the vibe...it's all a masterpiece. I'm addicted to it since it released-
You know he sampled this off happy house?
@@alehman4656 yea a majority of the instrumental is just happy house by siouxsie and the banshees 😭
lyrics are f*ck*d up lol, vocals on point though.
CAN'T BELIEVE THIS WAS AT THE SUPERBOWL
I legit got chills when I heard it and the transition to blinding lights is just perfect
@@bangbangrogers2750 yes! the transition was amazing, I hope somebody makes a studio version of that part
Was it the last song with blinding lights
@@LuisPerez-uo1hx yes
what part of a song?
idk why people hate that he changed, i love how each album is different and amazing in its own way. if you want to get fucked up listen to trilogy or kissland. if you want to cry listen to after hours or my dear melancholy,. starboy if you want to get hype.
what do when you want to listen to bbtm?
SHODO exactly!! his albums are his versions of every mood, like how could you not love it ,?? He can do it all and still keep his own vibe
abel does everything
quaddy goon fuck
Nateshark10 this is facts

same, been slowly going thru his catalog
The fact that this song is 10 years old but still feels like a modern hit is just amazing and shows how good Abel is
Exactly, just like MIchael Jackson's music, this is our next King of pop.
It’s older than 10 it’s sampled from happy house by siouxsie and the banshees
YES
@@katiehackett3501 The sample is more than 10. This isnt the sample

"You look into my eyes
You can't recognize my face"
Felt that .
whatever you think it means, it doesn't
Yash Parekh so what do you think it means ? Just curious
Its not that deep...
In my eyes = the soul
Basically he is saying the person he is from the outside(face). Is different than his true self (soul), which is why the outside is no longer recognizeable.
@@atom0824 there are definitely layers to that lyric.
1. people change. the weeknd discusses the subtle disappointing women have upon learning of his true nature or demons. or how he has changed/will change over time.

its not the most lyrically complex line, but it is very good, simplistic, and arguably relatable.
One of the most beautiful songs Abel has ever made. I am addicted.
12 Years!!
and its still on my everyday playlist
what I would give to go back and hear this song for the first time!
XOTWOD

I cried when he sang this at Coachella. I'm so happy that he's still acknowledging Trilogy
BJT WHAT ABOUT KISSLAND
But for the crowd it was unknown
So sad....
Then you would cry if you got a little cut.

Irene!!! My queen lol
Crazy how people sleep differently, I sleep on my side, my ex sleeps with everyone & everyone else been sleeping on The Weeknd's trilogy
This comment thou
I love this

Bruh😂
This made me giggle so much 23/09/2020 smashing comment
Cant even explain how this song makes me feel omg its literally perfect omg such a dark vibe and i live for this
ahhh literally, yessss
This song was sampled from Happy House by siouxsie and the banshees, 1980. It's gothic dark rock.
Timeless classic.
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 💖
Who’s here after the Super Bowl halftime show? So happy he added a song from his first album! House of Balloons is a classic!
It's not an album.
@@mcnichoj18 yes it is this is the title track from the album
SAME HERE!!
In a happy house.

Once you become a weeknd fan , None of other artist's music has an impact like his music does.
frank
only one artist has hit me harder than the weeknd
@@CasteloBrancoG may I know who?
R&B's Devil is The Weeknd, while Frank is the angel.
ngl i been listening to the weeknd on repeat for the past 18 months >:)
This is THE album that played non-stop at the best house parties I've ever been to, when I lived in Montreal
this song is a decade old and it still is popping that's how good the artist is
It's older than that
Saw him in concert for Kiss Land. He played this song and on the first sentence the entire crowd screamed it with him. Best concert I have ever attended. Only artist who sounds even better live.
That beat change... damn
heavy
revolutionary
Siko mode
well thares two diffrent songs in this
oh and tames ull like the weeknd
My favourite album of all time!!!! Every single song sounds different than the last. It changed the landscape of rnb as we know it today and it takes you on a crazy rollercoaster ride that doesn't let you go until the very last song. Thank you Abel for making an album so impactful and I will hold this album dear to my heart XOTWOD ❤
This song is so good.
I'm not going to pretend i'm an OG fan of the Weeknd. The first time I heard this song was in the superbowl. But holy shit it slaps hard.
Finally some who isn’t pretending, welcome to xo.
Welcome to xo
Welcome to the XO Fam, brother
same, im losing my mind. this guy is a legend
same
Imagine this dropped in 2020, it would easily be a number 1 hit. The weeknds old music shows his raw talent he's had since the very beginning
kissland made it to #1 after 7 years from its drop, have hopes for trilogy and HoB / GT
@@georgemusarsa48 Well now that he played a snippet of this at the super bowl... perhaps there’s hope after all
He needs to rerelease this. A wide audience NEEDS to hear this.
all it shows is how nothings changed
12 years ago today is CRAZYYY. The memories this track/mixtape has is incredible. xo FOREVER
This has been my favorite song of The Weeknd for years, I keep coming back 🖤
That transition from this to Blinding Lights was something else
My favorite part for sure
Yessss those two are my fave parts
That legit was my favorite part of the show!
Totally!
godly.
"Happy House" by Siouxsie and the Banshees (1980) is being sampled/covered on this song.
FINALLY SOMEONE WHO SAID IT
I don't know why, but I'm sad when everyone don't know about original
Thank you for saying this! THIS is what amazes me about him and this song! He was brave enough to sample a very independently classic 80s group.
i was looking for a comment that said this !!
thats literally where i came from (an insta reel that said this)
The smooth transition... pure eargasm.
eargasm is crazy but real
this album is one of those few instant classics, every song stands by itself and each song has so much replay value.
“Nights past so much quicker than the days did. Same clothes you ain’t ready for your day shift!” XO/ The Host!
@Hydra Jamm Heavy drug use
@Hydra Jamm He said it in this song too smart one.
Literally me today
crazy how his songs never get old. S/O to all the original fans.
I hate his new shit, I've literally been with him since 2011 going on 2012 man. It sucks so much, when artists go mainstream.
His new shit is great though
NONE of his songs get old, in my opinion
they never do, he is a true talented artist
Erin Cathey he really is. you got good taste. Lol
I love the real song "happy house" and I also love the weekends music so I'm listening to old songs that I dont know and I love his music even more than before
Real XO fans know.. man when this song first came out it was like a drug. So many memories tied in with this song and my younger 18 yr old party/trap days.

thanks🥺 i’m still new, but i just got through after hours and starboy and i love them both dearly and now i’m trying to get through trilogy.
I've been a fan for more than a year now and honestly, no other artist slaps better than him 💀
Hearing the Siouxie and the Banshees sample in this song during the super bowl is what caused me to completely re-examine The Weeknd, he knows his stuff

facts
What this sample was from???
he has culture
trilogy has a lot of beach house samples too. like og beach house
me screaming my heart out to this song live was one of the best things i could ever experience, xotwod

this is so poetic

Gurl when I look at those lips I'm also transported somewhere else. Damn, you hella fine.
Damn this version is so much more raw and uncut than the one on Trilogy. The sound is so much better on this version, you feel the ruggedness and grind of his life more
I disagree the bass on this is mixed like shit lmao
His voice is way too quiet in this one
nah the Trilogy version is on another level
Yeah I was like wtf this does not sound good. I can now see why Fantano didnt like the production
this is my favorite song of all time. it has a little bit of everything i love about music. This song puts you on another level.
I can't stop listening!!!This is beyond music...
Almost a decade since it’s release and still sounds so fresh.
I used to be a jit!
Seriously tho
This man lived 2 hours away from me (Toronto back then) and I'm only really looking into his albums now. Grew up heavily in the music scene, so to say I'm ashamed is an understatement.

cooool, how did you meet him?
@@greatestvideos3496 okay so weeknd's old songs are restricted to newer listeners? What a selfish gatekeeper

Poor girl can't breathe and trying to leave but he just tells her to open the window and trying to convince her that in fact it's really a happy house and that they're happy and it's fun and she's terrified, but she "belongs to him" and he won't let her go. Abel is a fucking genius.
Thousand people, thousand perceptions, thousand perceptions
It "hurts to breathe" cause they're stuffing coke up their noses.
it’s more like pressuring suggestions rather than literally making her open a window, like “we’re having fun so you’ll be fine, just open a window”
Not really scary, just ironic. its not like shes inhaling Joker gas or noxious fumes lol. Its just weed smoke or drug smoke. They arent happy, so the irony is that its a happy house. Also, I think one of the samples comes from a song that has the same irony so he might have been influenced by it.
I always thought it was about a girl on a bad trip or maybe just having a panic attack because shes on too many uppers.
OH man I pity myself that I didn't hear this before 2021. Such a gem of a song
Bruh go listen to all of his album called Trilogy it's full of gems like these you won't be disappointed.
@@Qwertyz44000 "disappointed" concept doesn't exist when it comes to The Weeknd.
@John Smith brooooo listen to Kissland if you haven’t already, it is a true masterpiece and criminally underrated
Welcome xotwod
Always better late than never. Welcome! XO 💜🎶
This song still lives till these days cant believe it was released 13 years ago
Thank you for sampling one of the biggest goth icons in music history
I remember hearing this for the first time in my hallway in high school on newly released pandora and everyone told me it was weird and moody 😂 ten years later I’m married and screaming when this plays at the Super Bowl
TUSCAN LEATHER IS A MASTERPIECE
I got so hype when they played it but it only had 10 seconds before transitioning to blinding lights or something. 😂
The Weeknds beats are always on point
This will never get old 💯❤️💯
I can't believe I just found this song, it's amazing
Same we are so late but atleast we are here😊
@@SuamaKaapangelwanever too late for this one🤞🏼🖤
The beat transition is so seamless.
It's kind of like the beat transition on "gone" by the weeknd
Abel makes music so you can experience drugs without doing drugs
Or doing them🤫
Yes. I went down all his mixtapes rabbit hole. Got sucked in because it reminded me of my quarter life crisis. Didn't live what he writes about but thought almost everything. If only they took something other than photos.
😂💖
Someone put this song on when I was high off of Molly and this shit hit different
This shit gave me actual acid flashbacks.
THIS IS A HAPPY HOUSE 😩😩
This song was 13 years ago?????
Yes.
yuh
Yo pensaba que era del 2022. 😢
This song always gives me the goose bumps
Now too?)
"so don't blame it on me girl, cause you wanted to have fun" 😭😭
KING OF TORONTO. XO .
its 2024 and this song still hits🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥❤🔥❤🔥
As a lover of post punk and synth, this song does great service to goth music. This track incorporates the musical style and post punk beats of the scene, even sampling directly the lyrics of goth icon Siouxsie Sioux herself. This is awesome.
YES
Beautifully written. One of the few people who understand where weeknd gets his influences
It's more Industrial than Goth. The Glass Table Girls part had Nine Inch Nails' Closer sampled into the music. (Unless I'm stupid and I don't realize that Industrial music and Goth music are the same thing.)
It's garbage , the only good thing is the sound from the original.
@@barriniho This defined a whole genre, ain't no way it's garbage
I'm old and a dad. I have always been a major Rock and Alternative Rock fan. I complain about "music these days."
The Weeknd is the best artist I have heard in the last 20 years.
siousxie souix?
Happy house sample!
HEP
Agree brother
the vibe of this song!!🤩
This song is my therapy.
First starboy, and then after hours and then beauty behind the madness, my dear melancholy, and now I'm here. Gotta say this dude keeps growing and growing . He has this thing with his voice he can express his feelings so easy. And you can feel the same feeling he is feeling in the song. It's just unbelievable and amazing..gotta say this has to be my favourite track ever. LEGIT.
dude, kissland!!!! listen to it, like rn
Yeah, may I reccomend Tears in the rain, adaptation, love in the sky (listen til the end on that one, it changes), kissland (Also has a transition in the middle), pretty, the birds, wicked games, twenty eight, the knowing and high for this. The rest will come to you.
@@dbzayan thanks man sure thing I'm in love with the old Abel
@@anxjr7247 aye sure
@@dbzayan I listened to the whole trilogy album and I will listen to kissland now
I'm not an OG I started from blinding lights but when I heard all his other songs....and I thought.how tf didn't I hear any of this legend's songs before .... I'm so thankful that I did listen to them.... This man is the greatest of our generation....and man these old songs slap so hard...i am obsessed with this man and his music. XO FOREVER.
Welcome to this world! XOTWOD
Damn, going from blinding lights to something like this is like discovering a whole other artist 🤣
@@416RG factss
same here. I knew him from can't feel my face and the hills but after hearing after hours i finally got into all his old stuff and holy fuck i'm in love. if it wasn't for all these mixtapes i wouldn't be such a diehard fan rn.
There many secret gems
