Fun fact about Gone: he said in an interview that he does not remember recording that song, that he was on so many substances in the studio that he just freestyled the entire thing
The Birds Part 2 is the darkest and painful song I've ever heard. It's incredible how Abel uses a gunshot sound as the beat of the song and Valerie crying and sobbing at the beginning of the song before killing herself after Abel's rejection is something that leaves you unable to move, speechless and about to drown with your own sea of tears
the birds pt. 2 is one of my favorite songs on thursday. he's a bird, it's in his nature move on, to see other women. she's legit begging him not to, with a gun to her head, as he leaves. she is then finally out of love with him. she took her life, the only way to fall out of love with him. GORGEOUS. this song perfectly captures relationships in the present era, the madness of the weeknd considering valerie is a real person & the way people barely survive without their partner, no matter how cruel.
apparently ‘Gone’ was a total freestyle he did while super faded in the studio which would explain why it doesn’t necessarily fit in with the storyline
Yes rolling stone is basically him talking to us and letting us know that he’s going to change. “I know I’ll be different, and I hope you’ll still listen”. “And baby love me, before they all love me” like we should enjoy the kind of music he made at the time before the change and he reaches a broader audience. He made a music video where he represents this. Also gone was just a long ass freestyle 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣.
Thursday is criminally underrated in the trilogy because it was a follow-up to the jaw dropping debut project that was HOB. Can’t wait to see you react to my personal favourite next, EOS ☺️
Not a Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday... You're really good at this btw. You say interesting things and phrase them in a way that encapsulates it.. even tho these tapes are a decade old.. the way you describe it sounds unique.
A stand alone track that I think should've made it into the trilogy series even just as a bonus was the song titled "Enemy". It didn't make it onto any of his projects but it still captures this darker period of his life. So maybe that could be included in your "bonus tracks" reaction. He's got a lot of stand alone promo's but this was one of the most cold-hearted imo.
In the song Rolling Stone, Abel is using the girl as an analogy to address his old fans and asking them to not to leave him as he was getting mainstream attention. He literally predicted his success as his new music doesn't sound anything like the triology.
@@jcambriz5697 If u follow up the story of Thursday then, u'll understand why LIFE OF THE PARTY comes before THURSDAY. Lonely Star is the overview of the story Listeners get some ideas what the album is about then, the story starts with LIFE OF THE PARTY (as he is currently in a party getting high n abusing drugs with random girls) and ends with THE BIRDS PART 2. Just to let u know 😅
I love goin through these mixtapes w someone else and seeing their reaction. Personally, Heaven or Las Vegas is my favorite and I like how he recalled back to it in After hours w the theme. Keep up the great reactions, love the hair too! Also I’m so happy Coming Down grew on you :)
BTW Rolling stone was a message to XO about him blowing up & moving on to the industry. At the time we ALL wanted him to stay lowkey and not be the pop star he is now. I.e "ill be different, They all love me, I hope im not different, Hope you will still listen" I remember when he dropped the video it was confirmed for the fans
Even though Gone was pretty much a freestyle, I think it still fits the narrative. He just couldn't deal with what happened in Birds pt. 2 (whether she shot herself or him) and went back to his usual activities to numb the pain. His voice sound very painful there. Like, lirically he still tries to convince you and the girl that he's in control, but soundwise it seems like he's completely lost his mind.
So In the Birds pt.1 and 2, my takeaway is him warning "Valerie" initially not to fall in love with someone like him bc it's going to end with her getting hurt.. she didn't listen and ended getting heart broken to the point I think she kills herself in the beginning of pt. 2. And pt. 2 was her pleading to him, let me fall out of love before you break my heart by sleeping with another woman. Instead, she suffers to the point of taking her own life. The birds symbolize Abel as being a free bird, unable to commit to one person/relationship. It is kinda fucked up like you said, but he did warn her🤷♂️
Please, please do this for the EoS video: let XO/The Host play through into Initiation. They're technically two parts of the same song, and I really hope you can structure that one so you can experience that transition. I do understand what you've said in previous videos about going back later, but this one is so good and impeccably done!
There is a lot of unreleased Weeknd tracks out there on youtube that would be a great reaction. They are basically fully complete tracks just never slapped on a album. Some good ones are Enemy and Heavenly creatures. There is even a whole EP he never released that was leaked called the Noise EP. Lots of Weeknd material out there besides what’s published to review once your done with all the albums. Either way great review ;)
I really like your way of thinking and making theories by listening to the songs, I like moreover the way you listen to them: calm, placid, but it's clear that you are enjoing them. I'm going to wait you reaction to Echoes of silence!
I like how right after Lonely Star you said it felt like you were in a crowded room rather than alone with him like on House Of Balloons. Then you figure out why 🤯😆 Love your reactions.
You should react to king of the fall by the weeknd (music video) ... it's have that dark mood and also it's about time to listen to your review on the visual just saying 🤷🏻♂️
pretty sure he made gone when he was high on multiple drugs. he was just in the studio drugged out messing around. doesn’t have any memory of making that song but the ppl with him told him he freestyled the whole thing
Idc how XO listening to the original is . House of balloons(original mix) I agree is the better mix . But the rest of the trilogy is mixed really well on trilogy . The vocals pop out way more . Shits so muffled .. 😭
The remorse you’re looking for this storyline with Valerie is in the song Valerie(bonus track). Also you’ve got it right that she shot herself in the birds pt2, cuz that’s the only way she could stop loving him sadly. And gone is just a freestyle that he did while high af irl, but for the storyline it’s basically him getting high on drugs and all to mask the emotions, he does care(as seen in Valerie) but he doesn’t want to show it or admit it just yet.
My interpretation of “I’ll be different, I think I’ll be different” on Rolling Stone is that he’s telling his fans he won’t sell out and will keep true to his sound. Then he admits when faced with the decision between a making a ton of money and staying true to himself, he hopes he’ll choose the money due to the less than desirable circumstances of his upbringing - “I hope I’m not different and I hope you’ll still listen” and “I’m in a life without a home so this recognitions not enough”. It’s really cool how Abel basically prophesied his own meteoric rise. I also thinks he’s done a better job than most artists to keep his core fan base happy.

That explains a lot😂
That's why he's gone
That makes a lot of sense it sounds like he was faded af the entire song lol plus it’s 8 minutes lmao
Same with the longer songs on hob. He said he was high and freestyling as well 😂 I assume with party and after party and again with glass table girls
on which interview?
Rolling stone is a mind trip when you realize he’s speaking to his fans and how he predicts his future success and sound change.
That plus same goes with the girl, hoping after his change, which he hope he doesn’t, when the mystery fades, will she still be there at the end
Yeah rolling stone feels like the prelude to kiss land in how he portrays he’s own fame.
@@Prodbyjah464 More like BBTM, Kissland didn't take off the way he thought so he went full mainstream after
The Birds Part 2 is the darkest and painful song I've ever heard.

In concerts back in time he used to perform an interlude, that too could've been an awesome track
I think Valerie kills Abel so that she can fall out of love.
the birds pt. 2 is one of my favorite songs on thursday. he's a bird, it's in his nature move on, to see other women. she's legit begging him not to, with a gun to her head, as he leaves. she is then finally out of love with him. she took her life, the only way to fall out of love with him. GORGEOUS. this song perfectly captures relationships in the present era, the madness of the weeknd considering valerie is a real person & the way people barely survive without their partner, no matter how cruel.
yep😭
Thursday on a Thursday
Very appropriate and a must
A must
Literally
Fell in love with Life of the Party the very first time i heard it. One of my favorites
💯💯
apparently ‘Gone’ was a total freestyle he did while super faded in the studio which would explain why it doesn’t necessarily fit in with the storyline
It also have meaning on this mixtape. Basically he’s masking all the emotions (by drugs) he got after what happened between him and Valerie.
Twenty eight and Valerie are arguably The Weeknd’s best songs. Till Dawn is great too. Crazy how those were just bonus tracks.
Listen to till dawn again and some more
The grass is always greener on the other side.
Wicked games still better imo
@@raeyei5969 facts and the knowing
The knowing and wicked games are better than twenty eight and Valerie lol

💯💯
Bro I agree, When this mixtape dropped and if you were in that party drug lifestyle, this mixtapes gives HOB a challenge anyday
Not a Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday...
You're really good at this btw. You say interesting things and phrase them in a way that encapsulates it.. even tho these tapes are a decade old.. the way you describe it sounds unique.
Heaven or las vegas is probably my favorite because of those drums and the guitar very unique sounds
I could listen to a whole song where he only sings “ooohh woahooowoaaahhhh” the entire song
The Birds pt.1 and 2 are just so fucking good.
i love watching people react to the weeknd
A stand alone track that I think should've made it into the trilogy series even just as a bonus was the song titled "Enemy". It didn't make it onto any of his projects but it still captures this darker period of his life. So maybe that could be included in your "bonus tracks" reaction. He's got a lot of stand alone promo's but this was one of the most cold-hearted imo.
add "for your eyes only" to that bonus tracklist
Enemy is a must. Trust issues too
Also Heavenly Creatures
In the song Rolling Stone, Abel is using the girl as an analogy to address his old fans and asking them to not to leave him as he was getting mainstream attention. He literally predicted his success as his new music doesn't sound anything like the triology.
i love how your fav track kept on changing, it shows how his projects are full of goated tracks

i’ll never forget hearing the birds pt1 for the first time
Brooo😫
The first weeknd song I ever heard was the birds pt 2 while on acid, been hooked since

this is lowkey my favorite of the three mixtapes

this guy gets it
💯💯
I like your sense of humor. Thursday on a Thursday 🙏
Gone is essentially a freestyle he did while high and he has no recollection of wtf he was talking about in the track
It also have meaning on this mixtape. Basically he’s masking all the emotions (by drugs) he got after what happened between him and Valerie.
Love these weeknd reactions! Can’t wait for my personal favorite Echoes of Silence!
Also my favorite off Thursday is the birds pt 2!
💯💯
Abel just freestyled "Gone" while he was high af ! So he was gone while making gone xD
Your taste in music is great & I love what you have to say in your videos. Especially about The Weeknd. Best reaction channel!
I love the guitars
Underrated Album. Underrated Channel. 🔥
we need a movie about the trilogy
Rolling stone is a letter to the fans and letting them know how his career will play out and he was right
Dropping a Thursday on a Thursday is wild. Nice.💯
There is a lot of unreleased Weeknd tracks out there on youtube that would be a great reaction. They are basically fully complete tracks just never slapped on a album.

In an interview he said Gone is literally him really high in the studio free-styling and pandering on and on for several minutes
You droppin the video on thursday makes a lot of sense. Love your reactions
I like how you're able to unpack these tracks 👍👍👍
I really like your way of thinking and making theories by listening to the songs, I like moreover the way you listen to them: calm, placid, but it's clear that you are enjoing them. I'm going to wait you reaction to Echoes of silence!
You did your makeup so well! You look very pretty
I'm just waiting for this echoes of silence reaction. Montreal is his greatest song.
To your point about his vocals sounded buried on "Lonely Star", the Trilogy mix does a good job fixing that
It’s got Phil collins inspirations and was the “experimental” mixtape according to his producer/friend
GONE >>>
I like how right after Lonely Star you said it felt like you were in a crowded room rather than alone with him like on House Of Balloons. Then you figure out why 🤯😆 Love your reactions.
you should react to (currents - tame impala) or (ok computer - radiohead) both are masterpieces
I love ur reactions briana
I was waiting for this upload🙏
Would love to see you react to Frank Ocean’s discography.
P.S You should react to "Nostalgia, Ultra" at first.
Love your reactions! Started binging them :)
“I get it. She’s valid” I know that has to be a joke but that still made me shake my head lmao.
Do you watch turning the tables? You and them are my favorite react videos 😊 keep up the great work!

Hell yeah
Yay

“Aboot” 🤭 can’t get enough
YES NEW VIDEO 😭
Ok so now you NEED to listen to after hours (or echoes of silence before that to finish off this trilogy)
I LOVE THE WAY U LISTEN TO MUSIC OMG
please listen to frank oceans endless!! its really unique, one of my fav tracks
You should react to king of the fall by the weeknd (music video) ... it's have that dark mood and also it's about time to listen to your review on the visual just saying 🤷🏻♂️
Amazing video! Echoes of Silence is my favourite mixtape so I hope you enjoy it :)
After Hours soon 🙏🙏
pretty sure he made gone when he was high on multiple drugs. he was just in the studio drugged out messing around. doesn’t have any memory of making that song but the ppl with him told him he freestyled the whole thing
It also have meaning on this mixtape. Basically he’s masking all the emotions (by drugs) he got after what happened between him and Valerie.
Echoes of silence asap

Also fun fact, Gone is a freestyle
It also have meaning on this mixtape. Basically he’s masking all the emotions (by drugs) he got after what happened between him and Valerie.

Nice !

Idc how XO listening to the original is . House of balloons(original mix) I agree is the better mix .
But the rest of the trilogy is mixed really well on trilogy . The vocals pop out way more . Shits so muffled .. 😭
Mostly agree, I just think his vocals on HOB/GTG is btr on the trilogy version than the original. But the rest of the original bangs
post echoes of silence reaction right now
your listening on ye and jpegmafia discography can be interesting to react
if you listen to thursday its only right to do it on a thursday
Be careful what you wish for 💀

Can’t wait for EOS🔥🔪
you’re one of my favorite reactors i’ve ever seen when it comes to digesting the weeknd’s material. thank you!
