EXACTLY. The way I see this MV is that for the first half, visually he’s throwing shade at the Grammys. Cause he’s going around messing with the audience and stuff. And as soon as he throws the trophy away, he’s basically done talking making fun of the Grammys. and after that he continues the rest of the MV with him symbolizing what the song is ACTUALLY about. A relationship with a girl that he actually loved. Him dancing with her representing them having fun, but eventually Being forced to end it. Since he’s FORCING her to point the gun at him even tho she doesn’t want to. Probably symbolizing that he did something wrong to have ended the relationship.
@@Y2KevinMtz i love this interpretation!! my favourite part is definitely when he makes her point the gun at his head. i feel like it’s showing how their relationship was toxic/detrimental and he wants her to end it in the most extreme way possible.
@@AlyPicon yea exactlyyy. that scene is so deep. And him smiling at her while she’s pointing the gun at him is probably showing how he just wasn’t in the right mindset to be with her at that time. It’s such a deep MV. I’ve been wanting to talk to someone abt it for so long lol
I absolutely love this Song A+ and The meaning behind it Everyone in Hollywood is fake,they all look the same because of plastic surgery and especially the grammy's,it's such a Unfair,Extremely Biased award show🙄 I can't wait for his super bowl Performance🙌🏼😁
Not only is “The Weekend” making fun of all the plastic surgery in Hollywood, he is also poking fun of “ Lip Syncing” by performers in this video when he stops to drink a glass of water as the song continues to play on!
"A" from me. I love this song, it's so smooth, like chocolate and silk. I listen to it all the time while walking. When it comes on the radio the volume goes up. Cheers, Paul.👍🎶😀❤️📀
That girl's name is Valerie. This is a continuation of his old song and dance. He has 2 metaphorical women, Valerie (his original fans back when he was not well known, who loved the soul his music had back in House of Balloons), and there's another woman named Diana (new fans/a metaphorical person showing what he's done to become famous i.e. feeling as though he has sold out. This is a concept he took from MJ's song Dirty Diana, and even did a cover of it when he really started to grow as an artist). These two women make up most of his lyrical genius, and are what got him to his Starboy lifestyle. However he also features Satan, or at least some form of the devil, in his second trilogy (not another trilogy album, instead it's a collection of 3 music vids). When played in the proper order this trilogy tells a tale of him being disliked by the masses but loved by Valerie, he then gets a taste of fame and adoration from this gaunt, flaming haired, extremely pale man in a suit with a red shirt under it as he lights Abel on fire. At this point Valerie begins to look distressed, disgusted, or at least disinterested. Meanwhile though, the crowd becomes a roar of cheers for him, as he burns alive for their entertainment. In the next video we see Abel dressed in all black, dragging his own corpse to a grave he dug, next to a burning bush. After his own burial the gaunt man (the devil from before) shows up. Abel shoots this man point blank in the head and drives away. In the final video we see Abel driving with two provocatively dressed women. He then wrecks the vehicle and begins limping to what is presumably his home. Upon walking inside he sees it is very dark, save for a very dark almost blood red glow coming from what appears to be a door leading downstairs, and a bright golden light coming from upstairs. Abel begins slowly walking up the stairs, still injured from the wreck. When he tries to go into the door, he is met with the same gaunt man from the last two vids holding a golden apple, and there are two women we saw earlier in the video in the room with him. The gaunt man shakes his head at Abel as he makes eye contact, and holds up the apple. This presumably means that The Weeknd feels as though he has sold his soul to the devil and can not go to heaven, even if he were to try. He does further this idea in the album Starboy, when in multiple songs he writes about heaven not being for him, and that mulhalla (not sure on the spelling of this, but it's a road in Cali that has a lot of winding twists and turns. It's widely known apparently) is where he will go. Additionally he states that "she" should save her prayers, as he is too far gone. Abel's story telling capabilities are incredible to be sure. He makes some of the most outstanding works of art in his music, and many of his music videos are not the lesser.
I just discovered it the other day without knowing anything about him and I instantly was obsessed with the video and song. Love it more now that i kinda know what it's about. I'm a sucker for weird ass shit with a deeper meaning.
At first I didn't like this song, but then it grew on me and now I can't stop listening to it. 😄 I feel like the music video doesn't fit this song at all and needs a melancholic music video for it, but at the very least I'm happy for him.
Abel's mv's hardly ever fit with the lyrics, you always have to think about what he is trying to say + it is also part of a long story he's been telling since the "Heartless" mv.....
I think it represents Bella. He said “some thing he should never say” exposing how sad he really was not necessarily about Selena but just life, and she didn’t want that and wanted him to keep pretending to be happy and what not (hence the plastic surgery) so they broke up in the end and he was alone and made him feel like he was alone even with her (in another song he said “together were so alone”
@@casinogaming2182 you put it together very well! I love it! But I still believe it was meant to be Selena just because the way the girl is dressed up is resembling of what Selena wore in a ceremony
This song is great. It has the voice of Michael Jackson and a song by Julian Lennon :too late for goodbyes and a song by Q Lazzarus : goodbye horses ,It's a mix between the 80s and 2021, this singer is a genius and a real artist 💕
Looking for videos about life in Bozeman Montana about a year ago is what led me to you. Now the real estate market going crazy out there puts Bozeman out of the question for me. Sorry to hear you may have to move. I hope you'll keep us updated.
He's not trying to make fun of anyone the song is about him getting plastic surgery and he comes to his girlfriend and the girlfriend tells him why did you get plastic surgery and then he runs away sad and she cries okay 😄👍😭
So allegedly, the girl without the mask is supposed to be Selena Gomez. Other than that, this video says so much. No just about her, not just about the Grammys. Not even just about Hollywood in general. It’s a self inflicted desire to appease to everyone else for acceptance. His face was wrapped up entirely during this VMA performance. The outcome is what we see in this video. Next, the only person in the video with no mask, is a woman. She (allegedly), is supposed to represent Selena Gomez. This goes back to his “My Dear Melancholy” EP where he referenced her in the song “Call Out My Name” with the quote; “I almost cut a piece of myself for your life” He was willing to help her live. But in turn, the gun is in her hands, cuffed by his. It’s almost as if he’s begging her to do this. He wanted her to live, but the pain of the aftermath obviously still haunts him to the point he wants to die. She should be the one to do it, since he’s been hurt the most by her. In the song “I Was Never There” a quote “You’d rather something toxic, so I poison myself again, again. Til I feel nothing” So willing to make it work, you damage yourself to just be accepted. To be noticed. This is what YOU wanted, this is what I need to have YOU notice me. Keep me around. Even if I hurt myself in the process. This comes full circle, not only to her but everyone and everything. He made himself new, created something that “Hollywood” would accept. In such a dire need to feel acceptable, he made himself into one of them. Despite it all, he still doesn’t get acknowledged. The Grammy board didn’t nominate him for anything. Selena moved on very quickly, and didn’t seem to care. So even with wanting getting plastic surgery, broadcasting it to the world on the center stage. Jazzing up his suit jacket, trying to stand out, he still isn’t accepted. YOU did this. I did all this for YOU. For the media. I did this for YOU,Selena. I did this for YOU, Grammy board. I did this for YOU, Hollywood. But yet, I still am not acknowledged, still I am not accepted. Even when doing what I could do to fit in. The fakes and phonies behind the masks that he puts on a show for are all expressionless. Anything he does...just simply. Isn’t. Enough. So what’s next for a man in denial? For a man who needs to be acknowledged. By past lovers, media and the world stage. This is what YOU, have made me become. I’ve tried to fit in. I’ve tried to stand out. I’ve tried to go by your standards of beauty. All for nothing. His artistry is all he had. But he’s brought to the point of realizing it’ll never be enough to satisfy the ones he desperately wants acceptance and acknowledgement from. YOU made me this way, now you can watch how it ends. Notice how he goes up to a stage. Set up to look like a a place a funeral would take place. Where one would speak about the person who died. Enter the gun. But it’s a gag. Doesn’t matter if he gets nominated. Doesn’t matter if the pain of a past love continues to haunt him. Jokes on you. Save Your Tears For Another Day. Because I’m not going yet. I’m only. Getting. Started
Chris where may someone purchase the bird caps? Enjoy listening to the music not necessarily seeing the video. Love watching you two. Beautiful relationship.
A young romantic couple in which the boyfriend leaves his girl and then realizes that he misses it and wants it back at any cost. Its cute and the music is fun. I give it an -A
I really liked the song. But I agree with Russ. There are songs that I like from The Weekend much better. So I'd probably give it a C+. The hook is catchy, but for me the song is too soft and doesn't have the punch I'm looking for.
Oh, I thought it was the movie "Weekend" with Tom Cullen and Chris New. The song B The video C Your video A without the microphones in front T shirts A+
Although "reacting" to all these songs seems to have become all you two do now. I miss the times that you actually did some trips..outside..even during the winter..there is beauty to see outside..THAT is actually what started me and my husband watching you guys. don't really get into all this reacting. Don't you ever leave the house? Show us !!
Good Evening Montana Guys!! I wanna say "Way>way,way" and asks both of you> Its review or reaction ? Why do I hear a lot of chatter in your video than, for example, reactions to the song and what is it about? Are you reporters? are you analysts and critics, songwriters? Or are you journalists who know about all the stars inside and out ?! Why are there so many words? and at the same time you pause the video when there is an interesting video plot !!
What do you rate this song? (A-F)
Hmmm....E
And btw, he makes his face all bloody and wrapped up for drunk driving awareness
UH ?? UH B maybe? A plus for shock !
I liked it A
B+
amazing song, i wish more people would actually appreciate the symbolism in the video
Your so pretty

Wow this is deep ! Thanks for info
This is also a song that shows hes still "distraught" over selena gomez
I just discovered it the other day without knowing anything about him and I instantly was obsessed with the video and song. Love it more now that i kinda know what it's about. I'm a sucker for weird ass shit with a deeper meaning.
I know I’m late but this is my favorite song by him!! I love all his music
I would happily watch your videos all day, every day 😁
@Wordy Goddess How did you guess?! 😂

The young lady is meant to represent Selena Gomez, they broke up because he was still in love with his ex (Bella Hadid)
I think it represents Bella.

This a small part in an entire storyline
the song is amazing
He did it at the superbowl. Basically its a commentary about our society and our attempts to fit in. Sometimes drastic attempts like cosmetic surgery.
This song is great. It has the voice of Michael Jackson and a song by Julian Lennon :too late for goodbyes and a song by Q Lazzarus : goodbye horses ,It's a mix between the 80s and 2021, this singer is a genius and a real artist 💕

The symbolism in this video is so underrated...
I wait weeks for you guys to upload 😂
the part wit the glass is to snub singers who lip sync and to show that the lip syncers are the people that win the awards
He's not trying to make fun of anyone the song is about him getting plastic surgery and he comes to his girlfriend and the girlfriend tells him why did you get plastic surgery and then he runs away sad and she cries okay 😄👍😭
I was actually thinking about you guys today because I haven't seen a video from you guys in probably a few months maybe close to a year
A for the song
F for the music video
A+ for the reaction
F- for you saying the music video was a F

Is that Satan behind the girl?
