Hey can you do an my dear melancholy breakdown?
Im a huge fan of you and the weeknd. Great vid bro. Do you mind if i could do a reaction video to this.???
@@JerryReacts99 I loved watching it
@@daniel-eason thank you so much Daniel I really appreciate it like fr 💯💯🙏🏾
Dang, this is the best dawn fm breakdown I’ve seen. Thanks a lot for making this
Dawn FM is sooo underrated dude, idk why people dislike this album
FACTS.
not as straightforward as the previous ones maybe
I love this album and listen to it daily but
After hours > dawn fm
He surprisly dropped the album without any rollout remember After hours promotion all the short videos performances photoshoots amazing but with Dawn fm he just released with few promotions
@@tpaprince9856 i guess its because he have tour and movie project thats why he was drop the album as soon as possible
Probably about to be his most underrated album/project
Kissland
Kissland
This was made for it to be like this. Like a bridge between the other 2 album. First and the last to be intense and a blast. This album acts just as a transition. Nevertheless this album is only for XOs. AFTER LIFE is going to be fire
@@_lessthanzero_ I hope this ages perfectly
@@shantamjohri his hardcore fans hype it too much for it to be underrated
Dawn fm is just a beautiful album. Every single album Abel makes is incredible. He puts so much effort, detail, and work into it. He gives this amazing story to it that just reminds you why The Weeknd is an amazing artist 💯
Facts!
The Weeknd will forever be my favorite artist. Dawn FM was amazing. Pure Gold.
Couldn't agree more Kalan 🙏🏽
This video kinda showed me a different perspective on life. One main thing is learning to accept yourself all of your traits. also try to improve yourself no matter how hard it is. And don't never stop trying to change for the good. I relate because I had a lust addiction that stems from childhood so I can relate. But over the past few years Ive been learning how to love. And listening to the weeknd all these years helped me with realizing certain things about me. Just wanna say thanks bro for making this I just reacted to this btw as well.
Caught your premiere but I was on a 6 hr car ride back home. I'm checking out the whole things first thing in the morning 🙏🏽 Glad you enjoyed! Thank you
I feel like the song sacrifice is more of a confession of not wanting to be tied down cause he likes his time and his independence. Its a battle between wanting love but loving his independence and freedom.
This!!! As someone who goes through this myself I feel sacrifice is 100% about that
That’s what he said lol but just adding that is part of the loop he is , and he accepts that mindset
This Album is a Masterpiece it’s a shame that thing album isn’t everywhere on the charts I hope one day the media will listen to this album again and like it
For my first listen it felt off but after like my 5th or so listen I was like oh this album is good then the 10th wow this album is amazing etc is album is out of this world people just need to listen to it and it wasn’t just me who felt off at the first listen I’ve been Aton if people who are Weeknd fans say yea I didn’t stick with me the first listen but after 5 time or so I liked it and it amazing
That's what's so great about him, is that he makes music being an artist instead of a sellout
@@daniel-eason exactly, and some of his fans still think he’s too mainstream and should just be like the “old trilogy abel” he does what’s in his heart and what best expresses his emotions.
I literally started to listen to Dawn FM after being hooked to an "Is there somewhere else" clip in a Nathan Zed video and after listening to the entire album in its entirety, i have been playing it non stop, i love this album so much and just to see such a intricate video like this being recommended to me just a day later makes this so much better. Thank you Daniel! Keep it up!
Nathan Zed's content is great!
Of course Fusion! 🙌🏽 Thank you 🙏🏽
Nathan uses that ITSE snippet in almost every video he makes, since the album dropped
Literally a masterpiece. Its cinematic, its emotional and so damn creative.. people these days wouldn’t know good music if it walked up and slapped dashit out them
I couldn't agree with this more ❤️🔥💪🏽
Dawn FM came out in the midst of the breakup with the woman I love. She cheated on me and still holds on to me all the same telling me things like a part of hers will always be mine and other mushy shit though she insists she doesn't love me the same way anymore. Dawn FM literally carried my ass through the first couple of weeks of this break. This album is fucking golden. I shill it out to anyone I can. It's honestly so god awfully beautiful and well made
I had the exact opposite experience with this album. I had gone on vacation with a woman I was interested in and the album grew on the both of us that way. To this day I still listen to it.
Sorry to hear about your experience.. but at least we can both agree that our shared experiences made the music special to us 🙏🏽
Do not give her the time of day she doesnt respect you and thus i would advise you to move on and cancel all communication, take some time off dating like finding new hobbies or rediscovering old ones, eventually youll find someone who will respect you and wont cheat on you or lose feelings, just be sure of your value, no matter what anyone says, youre a king and must find and conquer your purpose, dont let these hoes get you down man.
Damn you should do more album breakdowns. This brought me a whole new meaning to the second half of the album.
Much appreciated 🙏🏽 I'm looking forward to diving into it more
@@daniel-eason Please please please please please START WITH BLONDE😭😭😭😭😭😭
@@jaikaransingh9087 that might be disrespectful to Frank 😂 but if I can fit it in the schedule, most definitely 🙌🏽
This album was legit BEAUTIFUL! The transitions, the theme, the story telling. It was just art ! And I love the way you broke everything down, it made it so understandable the way his love roller coaster has been :(
Thank you Kassie 🙏🏽
Such a well made video, continue with these as the weeknd continues with his new trilogy era. Dawn FM is just a transition between After hours and After life. Dawn fm is by nature made for being underrated. Just like kissland was between trilogy and BBTM.
Supernova gets it 🔥
KissLand wasn’t between Trilogy and BBTM, Trilogy was just his 3 mixtapes bundled together. Trilogy was more of a summarization of his career thus far than an actual project, plus Kissland was definitely its own thing. Kissland wasn’t a sequel or transition piece to anything.
@@ObviouslyDeleted i know g, there is no relation in between 3 of those. But trilogy was a underground project, kissland was his first mainstream project with underground touch to it and in bbtm he went all out. Just gave a analogy of that 3 with the on going trilogy
I feel the “Old Abel” vs “Young Abel” in the album represents the time that he’s been in “Purgatory” as to finding out how to break his cycle. Yes there’s the belief that when you enter Purgatory your soul isn’t at peace because of the sinful things you regret in your past life. Purgatory is a version of Hell where you have to work out the demons that brought you there; in Abel’s case relationships and the fast life. It can take years to overcome the struggles that sent you there in the first place causing you to “Age.” So I do believe “Old Abel” is the version we see as the person that knows the answer to all of his suffering and finally wants peace, while “Young Abel” is struggling to understand what the answer to his peace is. Yes these sinful regrets, they will keep you from heaven but they’re aren’t as evil enough to condemn your soul to Hell. Until he figures that out and breaks the cycle, he will be released from his Hell Loop and finally come to peace and clarity .
Love this perspective 🔥
Ty and I Loved your full analysis of the video, definitely subscribed and excited for more content ❤

only people with an opened sixth eye can truly understand and love the weeknd..I fell in love with all his art I cant say this about any other artist..Hes unique legend masterpiece futuristic and has a beautiful soul..My respects to Abel..❤️❤️
I remember watching the Genius of Weeknd video when it had less than 1k views and now seeing that video grow and the channel grow you deserve it all man for your hardwork
Thank you Aman 🙏🏽 You've been a day one for sure!!
It's crazy how deep all these messages can get.
I felt like i just lived my love experiences through this album. Every song is on point and 100% relatable!!
Same it's almost scary! 😭
Holy cow, this video is MASTERFULLY composed. Give a whole new perspective to The Weeknd’s story telling. Bravo mate, keep it up!
Much appreciated Logan, I'd love to crank these videos out but they're catered to slowly. Glad you found enjoyment in those moments ❤️🔥
I think the crucial piece that Abel is missing is Commitment. In all his relationships it seems either one or both parties was unwilling to commit. Commitment is the most important aspect of a romantic relationship. Both parties must choose to put their partners needs above their own and this choice must be made continually. Something that Hollywood has long forgotten is that love is not primarily a feeling but rather, a choice. To love someone is to choose over and over again to commit yourself to them until the end of your days. Love is a mutual act of service.
'here we go....again' has the exact theme from Tyler's album, so the feature makes sense
Every album Abel makes hits, it's such a beatiful album🔥
FACTS
The Weeknd is just incredible. Other artists on his popularity level don’t put this much work into their music. A lot of them just force out music for streams, but he puts his all into his work. He has absolutely deserved to be number 1 in the world.
Technically and visually stunning.
Bro this is what you gotta add to your videography now. This is a beautiful video and there are seriously million more albums to do these breakdown for. Genuinely waiting for more.
Much appreciated 🙏🏽 Will be coming with more for sure!
I'm going to the after hours til dawn tour I'm so excited gonna be headed to Seattle in August
I saw him yesterday! It was amazing
Big ups to you for making this quality video. The amount of time that went into making this video must be crazy.
After this video when I listened to the album it felt different and gave me a whole new perspective on it.
Keep doing what you're doing bro coz you're amazing at it.
That was the goal 💪🏽 Thank you! 🙏🏽
I love the weeknd! When I say this album is absolutely my favorite album by him! Like I thought trilogy was amazing, specifically house of balloons. But then he dropped this album and my goodness!!! I love this album!
This is going to be a MASTERPIECE of a video!
hope it took your breath 😎
@@daniel-eason it did !
A true definition of self battles; love, loneliness and vulnerability. This combination is a soothing and wake up call. The lighting dawn.
I sort of understood what this album was saying but you breaking it down helped me clarify that
This albums is actually so fucking good. Like it really is his death from all the previous albums. And he knows it, he knows the dark twisted man in the past is about to die and had it all on this album. The numbers this album has done don’t speak for how truly amazing the work of art is.
Couldn't agree more 🔥
Before it's released, I'm expecting something like After Hours and some Unreleased stuff. So I'm little disapointed until Out Of Time and Less Than Zero was played, It's like this time he put us to a stress-released state (a connect from last part of AH). Maybe it's time for XO to get out of the toxic relationships, the bad behaviors, the addiction, self-destructive , a crazy wolrd that he used to get involved...
I love that the album is a direct continuation of After Hours. Abel hasn’t done that since the mixtapes, but even then, he wasn’t necessarily trying to tell a cohesive narrative like he is now. After Hours is still imo his best album and his best era, but Dawn FM is a beautiful and exciting continuation of the Man in the Red Suit’s night of debauchery bleeding into the Dawn. (And Jim Carey is absolutely excellent on this album, might I add.)
I have followed the weekend from the beginning and the growth that I have seen with him is the same as mine I just don’t have the money like he does but I am the fílmale version of the weekend on everything I know how this feels and is the reason I am growing as a person from him thank u so much for the break down it’s my current feelings I’m work in progress I know what I did now I need my peace
I love your explanation and perspective on this album. So many layers.
Much appreciated ❤️🔥 thank you for watching Aina
Album of the year
FACTS
@@daniel-eason omg, you replied, I admire your work, you're the reason I became an XO fan
@@aryanjohnsharma much appreciated John 🙏🏽 I’m glad I could be that for you 🙌🏽
@@daniel-eason thankx again 🫡♥️🫠
I listen to this album like at least 5 times. It’s a great album as well as Mr. Morale 🔥🔥🔥
Agreed!!!
Now he's gotta do this again with How Do I Make You Love Me's MV.
😭😭😭😭 It never ends!!!
This was enlightening! I missed some of those themes on my original play through. Note in even more excited about the final piece of the trilogy
I Love Dawn FM……I can’t stop listening to it
Same here like bruh... it's too good 😭
This was one of the best The Weeknd breakdowns I’ve seen 🔥 , legendary
Here's my original if you'd like to check it out! th-cam.com/video/G5NRHmkdOMs/w-d-xo.html
This video is the perfect breakdown. Covering how each song is intertwined with the overarching story and this part of the story. Can’t wait to see the next TGO video!
Much appreciated Mighty! 🙏🏽
There's no artist other than Abel that can tell a story without telling a story.
I was a day one lover of dawn fm
a true XO fan
I've been through a lot in my life, Then i heard the Weeknd. It's kinda magic but his songs are same as my life story in many ways!!
*Dark,manipulative,unforgivable with total pain*
Thanks for the Video, keep it up 👍
Thank you KourosH 🙏🏽
Literally second best Weeknd project oat behind the greatest mixtape ever in house of balloons. Fight me.
Definitely a master piece ❤️🥹
I keep rewatching this video, Sir Daniel has Narrated this whole video so well 😖
❤️🔥
Dude! the editing in this essay, loved the video, such a unique take on the album
Thank you Eduardo ❤️🔥
I really relate to this story honestly, with After Hours and Dawn FM. Of course, not to the same extreme whatsoever, but I feel like if you just dial it down a lot, that it really is how my life has been as of recently. Through phases of making dumb mistakes, but always having this sort of self awareness, and realizing my issues and wanting to pull away from them, but having the task being easier said than done, and through that, having very similar feeling about all the chaos and many similar points of view. I think this also shows just how much of us are going through the same things, or at least struggles that we try to get away from but just can't seem to ever be able to, and being scared that the loop will never end. It's a beautiful artistic way of putting the potential struggles that we go through in life, and how no matter how it feels, that we are not alone. And that even though it seems like forever, that it will get better. And all that stuff. And no one could put it in any better way than The Weeknd does
you never disappoint, and The weeknd has the best stories
Wouldn't be able to do this without him!
This was a fantastic video... Thank you so much
Well worth the wait. 10/10
Love that you kept his older stuff in this vid to tell the story.
Much appreciated Mansoor 🙏🏽 Glad I made it count!
David thanks for this experience ❤️
Loved your other weekend video..this is going to be 🔥
hope it was 🔥
this is one of the best videos ive ever seen. Keep up the great work.

Great video man, super enlightening. Keep up the good work ❤
this is the superior video. this is the one i have been waiting for thank you sir 🙏🙏🙏
Much appreciated 🙌🏽
I re-listened to the entire album yesterday and I have come to the ultimate conclusion that this album is in my Top 3 for AOTY. It's such a good album and it does get some hate unfortunately but he's been doing well with tours and whatnot.
Love your work keep it up we need the other albums please
Most definitely
Finally you dropped this video i have been waiting since you dropped the genius of the weeknd, i appreciate the effort you put into ur videos bro 🤍
Glad you enjoyed Aissam! ❤️🔥 Coming with more soon! 💪🏽
That whole album made me cry no lie. It hurt so much because I can relate to him in ways.
This may be the greatest analysis of this album I’ve come across. Amazing video.
Much appreciated MV 🙌🏽
I think I died once. It was beautiful.
Amazing video , came from the old one , im just in love with this man , he is so humble and down to earth
agreed, he's definitely one of the most private and humbled artists in the industry. We're lucky to experience him in our lifetimes
The big quint portion was the cherry on top of this amazing breakdown. Cannot wait to see what the 3rd installment will hold.
glad you enjoyed 🙌🏽
goated asf vid, keep up the progress w these type of analysis genre vids, ur great at it
Much appreciated 🙏🏽
Love these types of videos and ahbel
Thanks Daniel for this video that brought a genuine tear to my eye. I have seen quite a few videos discussing DAWN FM, and felt like none of them truly dissected it unlike the way you did. I considered doing it myself, but I don’t think I could’ve top this. Amazing video man :)
Bro, you can do whatever you can put your mind to. The most chiché advice is sometimes the best.
Make that video and ask yourself "How was Dawn FM special to me?" Once you've got that down the rest will fall into place 🙏🏽
Wait till you see middle8 breakdown
Bro great work mehn day by day your changing how we see and view this people ..
Much appreciated 🙏🏽 It's glad to know I can show people that there's more to the surface!
Thank u bro ur research helps us to dig deep 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼❤️❤️❤️💯 love ur videos fr
Thank you for being here in the long run! You're the reason why these are still possible!
this was an amazing breakdown of the album!! gave me so much perspective and new understandings on The Weeknd, love and heartbreak in general, as well as spirituality
Amazing analysis. Got me pretty emotional throughout. I could relate to a lot of this stuff.
Thank you Fletcher, glad I can make you feel something 🙌🏽
You’ve done it again Daniel, you’ve impressed me again! ❤️❤️❤️
Thank you! 🙏🏽 ❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥
