Aidan Reyes I don't know how much you know about music, but in simple terms I think it is because of the quick switching from bass to treble. just my theory.
Craig Kethley It doesn't even feel like a song but a journey somewhere. Many times i have lost myself to this song. Im glad other people enjoy this song as much as i do.
Idk how people hate his new music. Honestly everything he puts out is quality music. Every generation has a couple of artists that are on point their whole careers and we are all witnessing the beginning of a great musical career. In 20 years people are going to talk about how the weeknd is one of the best artists ever. Mark my words.
I think I've decided this is my favorite by him. I know it's just freestyling, but the melody and ambience in the effects and beat really takes you somewhere else, man.
i love the song, but its not exactly like he was saying amazing lyrics or anything. its sounds dope cause its his voice, but again the shit hes saying is basic words
Bar San freestyle lyrics are always better because they come from the heart no the mind, "You hotta taste it, feel it rub it on you baby".....nobody sitin down writin that shit lol
Abel is a gate to another world.. amazinggggg! Hands down king of R&B and people just do not know it yet... Avant, Usher, TGT sit the fuck down all....
my question is how did he sing this great, such good production as far back as 5 years ago, like he was in his own world, a whole different level, i mean godammmnn. the switch between sounds, perfect. we've been blessed with such an original talent.
I've been tired of life. Every morning I seem to wake up more tired than yesterday's morning. I feel dead inside. This song came to my head and I thought it would take my mind off things. And it has.
I hope the new fans will start digging into his music and make Trilogy blow bigger than it ever was.When I first heard Trilogy, I was completely taken aback because I've never heard anything like it before. I remember I would lay on the ground with this his music blasting in the background and just drifting off into a trance. it was amazing.
+Killua XD exactly what happened with me (and yes I'm ashamed to say I'm a bandwagon) but better late than never! I now even know about the noise EP, so I can say he is my favourite artist now
omg say no more i do the same. trilogy is just the best music ive ever heard i can listen to it on reply for forever and just completely fall into a different world
"oooo...oooooooo...aaaahhoooooh...oooo...aaaaaaaaaaaaaahoooooo....goooooootchuuuuu...oooooooo...yea yeaaa...I got a hoooold of yooou...oooooo yea...oooooo" Lord knows if I had that voice, I'd be singin to every female Im attracted to lol..guess its a good thing I dont possess it..with great powers comes great responsibility

I just recently discovered The Weeknd. His new stuff is OK. It got me interested. Then I started digging more and found his songs like this and I'm blown away. This song takes me away from reality to another world. I'm hooked. Same with Birds part 2, The Knowing, House of Balloons. Can anyone make any recommendations based on my interests in those songs?
This whole first half and second are so godly.wow he was so ahead of his time w trilogy. Easily the best RNB singing of our time. WHAT A TIME TO HE ALIVE. . I really think the drugs n sadness helped him makes such sad drugged out darkcore RNB/ soul. I work with Xo team out in LA and Toronto. If y’all have any questions about Abel I can answer those . He’s such a humble guy.. and he loves his XO fans more than himself, XOTWOD !
I'm gone during that second part. I love how his music has so much depth and feeling that it makes you feel like you just hit that first blunt of the day and your just relaxed and riding that wave
i know :( I loved the fact that songs could never be played on radio because people wouldn't get it. When songs are on the radio it's because they're mainstream and pop and it really has no meaning. And that's practically his whole new album. I hate the fact that kids can listen to his songs now
Because you're used to his previous songs and you're stuck with them. I'm not from the oldest fans and I don't like these songs as much. I see their flaws better.
Teodora V but the "flaws" are what makes his old stuff better than his new stuff, where every song sounds perfect. The flaws on his old stuff creates that chill vibe
I have only known about the Weeknd since he became more famous, his first song I heard was Wicked games and then never thought about him again until I heard him on the Ariana Grande song. I checked out Starboy and honestly not a fan really. I like Secrets & Die for You. thats about it...then I found Trilogy and I'm in love. so I don't think its about being used to his old songs....I think they just had a lot more substance. It just sounds so much more emotional and the lyrics are so much deeper...and the long ass intros and outros. just magical.
Mostly I get tired of all these singers but The Weeknd always has me not bored out off my mind. If you told me listen to The Weeknd for the rest of my life (which I will) I would do it in a heartbeat
house of balloons and thursday literally got me through a massive heartbreak and the worst time in my life. thank you abel i'll never forget this music. also been here since the beginning i waited on edge for each individual mixtape to drop after finding HOB on his tumblr
the thing about this music is its such a pure form of him. Like within a year from when he made this song, his life became completely unrelatable. But like this is music that as a not world star famous 20 year old, i can relate to. hes an amazing talent
I first heard of The Weeknd on MTV Jams with Wicked Games when I was 15, nearly a decade ago. I’ve followed his catalog ever since. This song is as good as it was yesterday, if not better !
Listening to this in high school.. we'd drive up into the mountains where the waterfall was, park, get high and listen to the weekend in the car whilst watching the night skies shine bright from the stars. The song was taking over our body, the mixture of high and weeknd ratio was immaculate.. we start touching, slowly making out and taking things to new heights. Its getting hot. We do another line.. things are getting intense. We take it to the back seat, we start taking eachothers clothes off and start making mad love. the feeling was out of this world, my body was taken to new heights.. things were much simpler back then, why does time have to go by so fast?
Can the weeknd put out a song that'll remind us that his "Thursday" "House of Balloons" and "Echoes of Silence" side is still strong within him? NO disrespect, I'm feelin' his cocky side, but I miss this.
I know right? Like, it's just been too long since I've heard a song that reminded me of those three mix tapes. His lyrics are getting more vulgar too which I noticed. I guess that came with the cocky side of him. Like I wouldn't mind hearing a masterpiece of a collab with Drake like The Zone. I mean, Live For just doesn't cut it.
you gotta understand that he's putting out all his hype songs to appeal to his new listeners. EVERY artist does that. They release their hype songs first and release the whole rest of the album which is usually bomb. Like (bad example) iggy azalea. She released fancy and work for her non-listeners so they could start to know who she is, but the rest of her album was very much her style. So we should have the same expectations for Abel. These songs he are releasing right now are for the hype, but I'm sure the album is gonna be the shit. You can't just lose genius like that imo.
I feel ya, but like I said, a song here and there with the vibe of "Thursday" or "The Zone" or even "High for This" would be amazing. And he used to do cover songs (Trust Issues and "Dirty Diana), but that stopped. Personally, I didn't feel KissLand like that, but that's because I was really saturated in his 3 mix tapes that I walked into KissLand with high expectations that it'll incorporate styles from it, and I was disappointed. I mean, I'm sure his sophomore album will be great! But I'm sure his fans wouldn't mind another collaboration with Drake that either: is on par with " The Zone" or reminds us of that, via the vibe. Because honestly, "Live For" wasn't that great, but it was dope. Don't get me wrong, "Often" and "King of the Fall" are great songs, I love the tempo, but you should never stay "So Far Gone" from your roots of what made you "The Weeknd". You know?
man if youre still listening to this we gotta be friends
Lets do it
letsss!
BE MY FRIEND
Too.
I’m smokin listening to dis just vibin🥀
the fact that he freestyled this whole song gives me a new appreciation for it. that shit blows me away
Bass down low
It feels better even if he mumbled it adds to the song
What
Does anybody else drift off into some sort of trance from this song?
Omfg yes. This song had me grabbing my sheets and failing for air. Literally.

"What you need" is my personal fave. I first discovered him in 2013 n knew he would make it big

+QualityQman Man every song can make you feel something different. Listen to Trilogy.
+QualityQman Several of his unreleased songs are up on TH-cam. I can't get enough of his music! XO

thatsjohn Every time i listen to it.

Jermi. Love
This whole first half and second are so godly.wow he was so ahead of his time w trilogy. Easily the best RNB singing of our time. WHAT A TIME TO HE ALIVE. . I really think the drugs n sadness helped him makes such sad drugged out darkcore RNB/ soul. I work with Xo team out in LA and Toronto. If y’all have any questions about Abel I can answer those . He’s such a humble guy.. and he loves his XO fans more than himself, XOTWOD !
E A R G A S M
look dumb fuck we have different taste in music and if you didn't like this then why you you on here, i didn't ask for your opinion
XxhacksdefealtxX YOURE GARBAGE PIECE OF SHIT
J's Own Clean Edits fuck u
J's Own Clean Edits u know damn well that was immature
lol
Timeless..... easily one of his best ever tracks.... freestyle or not, the whole song is a "wave". Hypnotic
3/4 yrs on and it's still feels new.
it hard to appreciate music now days and then you have an artist like this who still believe in the art of being original.
His musics are hypnotic how could it be on every music
THE FACT THAT THIS IS A COMPLETE FREESTYLE, ARE YOU KIDDING ME!
AND WTF 2011??????? 4+ YEARS OLD???!!!, THIS IS FROM THE FUTURE. STOP IT ABEL I CANT.
how about now ;)
The Weeknd is a really great artist and is very inspiring.
12 yrs later & im still here 🥺‼️
🫂🎀
xotwod🖤
one of my biggest inspirations and that's been the case for a decade now. genuine master of his craft
I'm gone during that second part. I love how his music has so much depth and feeling that it makes you feel like you just hit that first blunt of the day and your just relaxed and riding that wave
Literally his most underrated song of all time
His songs are just so hypnotizing sometimes..
Who else likes this so much more than the remastered version
It's not even a comparison.
Why do I love his older songs more than his new ones?
because he sold out and his new music sounds like soulless pop bullshit
i know :( I loved the fact that songs could never be played on radio because people wouldn't get it. When songs are on the radio it's because they're mainstream and pop and it really has no meaning. And that's practically his whole new album. I hate the fact that kids can listen to his songs now
Because you're used to his previous songs and you're stuck with them. I'm not from the oldest fans and I don't like these songs as much. I see their flaws better.
Teodora V but the "flaws" are what makes his old stuff better than his new stuff, where every song sounds perfect. The flaws on his old stuff creates that chill vibe
I have only known about the Weeknd since he became more famous, his first song I heard was Wicked games and then never thought about him again until I heard him on the Ariana Grande song. I checked out Starboy and honestly not a fan really. I like Secrets & Die for You. thats about it...then I found Trilogy and I'm in love. so I don't think its about being used to his old songs....I think they just had a lot more substance. It just sounds so much more emotional and the lyrics are so much deeper...and the long ass intros and outros. just magical.
I swear if he even makes a one hour long song , I'll cut it from my sleep schedule
Mostly I get tired of all these singers but The Weeknd always has me not bored out off my mind. If you told me listen to The Weeknd for the rest of my life (which I will) I would do it in a heartbeat
Hearing this after almost eight years is like jumping in a Time Machine and reacting to this like its the first time... what a gorgeous track
listening to this high is crazy the nostalgia and the feeling you get is ridiculous smdh
Its like nothing else murther man, music conects the soul and mind to earth in a physical and mental way im fucked on lsd i hope this made sence
house of balloons and thursday literally got me through a massive heartbreak and the worst time in my life. thank you abel i'll never forget this music. also been here since the beginning i waited on edge for each individual mixtape to drop after finding HOB on his tumblr
Love bumping this when it’s dark out
This was a freestyle... Real music and talent still exists
5 years later and this is still one of my favorite Weeknd songs 😍
love this shit...
Forever grateful to have a artist like Abel
Abel, this song does magic to me I seriously can’t 😮💨
The break down in the middle of the song is unreal. Vibe out to it so heavy
oh my lord his voice.........
Bring it back. We need this style again
the thing about this music is its such a pure form of him. Like within a year from when he made this song, his life became completely unrelatable. But like this is music that as a not world star famous 20 year old, i can relate to. hes an amazing talent
I first heard of The Weeknd on MTV Jams with Wicked Games when I was 15, nearly a decade ago. I’ve followed his catalog ever since. This song is as good as it was yesterday, if not better !
This song is so underrated
One of the best
He got the fame he deserved, but damn it, the old!
this song is so good omggg , such a underrated songggg !!!!😍
still listening to this gem in 2025!
been here since this channel was named xoxxxoooxo
real ones know what I’m saying
Who's here "2019" is still jamming to this song...😁😁😁
2021
When I Listen To This Song I Just Feel Like Letting My Eyes Relax, Bobbing My Head Like A Boss. OTWOD :)
2024 who bumpin?
Not bumping but thumping ✊🏽👌🏽👈🏽
Me
cmon now
Listening to this in high school.. we'd drive up into the mountains where the waterfall was, park, get high and listen to the weekend in the car whilst watching the night skies shine bright from the stars. The song was taking over our body, the mixture of high and weeknd ratio was immaculate.. we start touching, slowly making out and taking things to new heights. Its getting hot. We do another line.. things are getting intense. We take it to the back seat, we start taking eachothers clothes off and start making mad love. the feeling was out of this world, my body was taken to new heights.. things were much simpler back then, why does time have to go by so fast?
It will never be the same again💔⏳
It makes me feel good how some new fans will come here and go crazy
2024 Anyone?
Always
Right here
Of course
Here 🎉
Wont stop
The weekend doesn't need a Grammy,
Grammy needs him ❤️
They could never make me hate this version of you Weeknd 😢❤
I listen to this song each and everyday and still aint tired of it
Trilogy is my fav album he's ever made 💕
The fact that juice was able to sample this 😔✊🏽. I lost jah and i lost juice...now all i have is you abel. 😢
Glad to say I been listening since the beginning . The greatest artist I’ve ever listened to
4:54 I got the whooooole city on my side... Gives me chills
Can the weeknd put out a song that'll remind us that his "Thursday" "House of Balloons" and "Echoes of Silence" side is still strong within him? NO disrespect, I'm feelin' his cocky side, but I miss this.
I agree. he's starting to make mainstream music :(
I know right? Like, it's just been too long since I've heard a song that reminded me of those three mix tapes. His lyrics are getting more vulgar too which I noticed. I guess that came with the cocky side of him. Like I wouldn't mind hearing a masterpiece of a collab with Drake like The Zone. I mean, Live For just doesn't cut it.
Brandon Harmon I liked Live For. :]
you gotta understand that he's putting out all his hype songs to appeal to his new listeners. EVERY artist does that. They release their hype songs first and release the whole rest of the album which is usually bomb. Like (bad example) iggy azalea. She released fancy and work for her non-listeners so they could start to know who she is, but the rest of her album was very much her style. So we should have the same expectations for Abel. These songs he are releasing right now are for the hype, but I'm sure the album is gonna be the shit. You can't just lose genius like that imo.
I feel ya, but like I said, a song here and there with the vibe of "Thursday" or "The Zone" or even "High for This" would be amazing. And he used to do cover songs (Trust Issues and "Dirty Diana), but that stopped. Personally, I didn't feel KissLand like that, but that's because I was really saturated in his 3 mix tapes that I walked into KissLand with high expectations that it'll incorporate styles from it, and I was disappointed. I mean, I'm sure his sophomore album will be great! But I'm sure his fans wouldn't mind another collaboration with Drake that either: is on par with " The Zone" or reminds us of that, via the vibe. Because honestly, "Live For" wasn't that great, but it was dope. Don't get me wrong, "Often" and "King of the Fall" are great songs, I love the tempo, but you should never stay "So Far Gone" from your roots of what made you "The Weeknd". You know?
