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: ruclips.net/video/ekrSPg34zuM/видео.html
+Joel W yes but that's not really a point to use to feel better about myself if you like being a prude be a prude those who want to try new stuff should be here listening haha who listens to the weeknd just to listen right when you hear his music you know what you wanna do
+Joel W im sorry for disrespecting a middle-aged man on how well his Johnsons skills are but i believe if you got it and you know what you are doing there is no reason to really try to defend it
@@Kingreed69420 broo ikk...he's just too raw in these.... It's soo sad I didn't listen to his old Songs back in the days when he released it...it's just art bro... that's the only word I can out his work into
Many times, The Weeknd has said that Prince is one of his musical influences alongside Michael Jackson and R. Kelly. This song "Life Of The Party" is very Prince esque.
This beat almost has a circus theme to it which could be interpreted as the girl being the "life of the party" as she's the main attraction, almost like a freakshow how they exploit her...
I'm a drummer and I thought the sound of snare drums recorded this song one of the best in history. I like snare drums that sound well with fat, deep. Thanks Weekend! And congratulations to the drummer who recorded the song. Please what's his name?
I remember buying this cd many years ago and after the first song went off and this song came on I knew right then that this guy called the weeknd I never knew who the fuck he was .. Has became my favorite artist with just this song
[Verse 1] Hello, welcome to the other side You're lost Baby step outside your mind You've been really good You've been really good You've been thinking bout being bad ever since I put you on She got money for blow Just check her damn nose Prescription ain't an issue You can mix it with the oh And if you wanna do it, baby I'm right here with you I'm on cloud nine Baby you're behind You can follow me You can follow me if you want [Hook] To go downtown with the drugs in your body Take that step you’re the life of the party Know that step you’re the life of the party [Verse 2] I got two little ladies I got one little room There's a room full of liquor Baby what you wanna do?

Does anyone know any other song that sound like this? Also man,The Weeknd old stuff is pretty good. Not that his new album is bad or anything but I prefer this.
been a whole year since i became a fan of the weeknd and no matter how many times i listen, it feels like its the 1st time. the trliogy is the biggest thing since star wars lmao #salute
I became an xo fan about 4 months ago and I when out about Thursday echoes of silence and house of balloons it blew me out of this world I can’t get enough of Abel’s music XOTWOD
Ok this what I hear after listen to every song at least 120180+ times its more of a reach then anything else :he: CHARACTERS The Weeknd: He's The Weeknd he parties every weekend he is in love with a girl named Valerie and another girl named Drugs, Alcohol and Sex. Valerie: Valerie is a innocent perfect girl at the starting of the story she turns to drugs that The Weeknd introduced her to and honestly regrets ever meeting The Weeknd by the end of the whole tale. Valerie is always a metaphor for the fans. Dirty Diana: Dirty Diana is any stripper, coke addict, ****, or groupie that The Weeknd meets. He meets the first one in The Morning. HOUSE OF BALLOONS Intro: The story starts of with House Of Balloons a story about a girl named Valerie that falls for The Weeknd a guy that isn't really isn't her kinda guy but this tape like all the others with foreshadow the future to come. 1) High For This: Ok so the story begins on a Friday in The Weeknd's loft and he is telling this innocent girl named Valerie that she should hold him tight and don't let anything get in the way of there night. The Weeknd moves on from there and tells Valerie that she should be high with him for this night and that she should roll X with him even though she's never done it. She decides to drop the X he gives her and she starts getting high and she takes off her clothes from the high feeling. Now The Weeknd is telling Valerie to take deep breaths and calm down, there is nothing to worry about he has done this before and he is watching over her. 2) What You Need: Now they are still high from the X and The Weeknd is telling Valerie that she should ** him. The Weeknd says that her boyfriend is who she wants and loves but she is high right now and she is horny so she needs The Weeknd. They start having sex and she is doing freaky stuff she could never imagine doing because she is high on X. 3) House Of Balloons: This song starts off with The Weeknd saying that he has been on a whole new level of happiness since she has gotten here and they need to party now. They go to a party and everyone is doing all kinds of drugs. Valerie is starting to get lost in the music and the atmosphere and she does some drugs and drinks. Now she is getting anxiety from all the drugs she has never done, and she is tweaking badly. Her mind just wants to leave this place but she can't because The Weeknd has her under his spell and keeps telling her that this is a happy house and she is having fun. He also makes a warning that nothing she is doing is his fault and it is not his issue if her parents find out. 4) Glass Table Girls The Party is cooling off and Valerie is still tweaking and she is really trashed. The Weeknd tells her that it is time to roll back to his crib and it's time to bring out the glass tables. She is so gone that she decides to do coke for the first time.. She starts ****in him again and the time hits half past 6 in the morning and then they crash... 5) The Morning It is now the next morning it is Saturday and The Weeknd is explaining that they ****ed like crazy last nite and made the walls shake like they were 6 months pregnant. The both of them are super hung over so they are drinking alcohol with there cereal to try and calm the hangover. Now Valerie calls a cab and leaves back to her boyfriend to spend the weekend with him because the weekend is a time to spend with your loved ones for The Weeknd thats coke, sex and other drugs.. for her its her boyfriend. He now is angry and sad that Valerie left his ass so he goes to a strip club at 4 a clock in the afternoon. He is kinda drunk from the alcohol he drank in the morning and he is drinking more. He begins to throw money at strippers to drowned his pain and he starts to say that he is getting drunker and higher and that the fall will hurt but he needs this downtown lovin. He takes home a Dirty Diana at the end of her shift later that night and.. 6) Wicked Games The Weeknd tells her that he left his thoughts about Valerie back home and he doesn't love her anymore (Which is a joke rofl). He wants to sleep with Dirty Diana and he needs her body and the drugs she has to erase the shame and pain because the girl he fell in love with last night just ****in left his ass. They start ****ing and getting trashed and says he can offer her fame and his love if she just lies and says she loves him for this night because he needs this for his confidence. 7) The Party It is the next morning and it is Sunday The Weeknd wakes up to the sound of Dirty Diana sniffing coke in the bathroom. He tells her that he understands that she needs coke and he is fine with it and she should come outside and put that ** on the table because he loves coke to. He even says they should snort together. Hell she can even call some friends up to join and he can can even supply. 8) The After Party The Weeknd keeps doing lines with her and he feels amazing, everything he touches feels amazing. They head to her place to get more coke and The Weeknd is shocked they made it to her place. He says that all these girls are talking about how she has no love for him and she just wants him from his fame but he just says that none of these girls have ever had a blow job from her (lol). At this point his mother is calling worried about him and he wants her to stop calling because he won't pick up because he is coked up. 9) Coming Down (Letters To Valerie [Part: 1]) He is now coming down off the coke and he is back home... He tells Valerie that he sleept with Dirty Diana but its okay he was fadded and coked up and he forgot about his love for her. He goes on to say that he always wanted her and he is coming down he is off the drugs and all he wants is her. He keeps leaving voicemails on her phone saying that and saying that he just wants to talk he is all alone :( 10) Loft Music (Letters To Valerie [Part: 2]) Now it is late Sunday it the end of the weekend and The Weeknd is telling Valerie that she should roll through the city with him tonight to end the weekend and that it doesn't matter if her going back to him looks like she has lost her morals because in his loft that doesn't matter. He end the voicemail by saying that she is ed for not wanting to go to his loft and he wants to know if she is even thinking about him because he can't get his mind off her. 11) The Knowing Valerie calls The Weeknd back and tells him that she just wants to stay with her boyfriend. He tells her that he knows all about how she doesn't care for him anymore and she should look at what she has done and how she has made him feel. Also the weekend is now over, they both are drunk because they both are hurt from what has happened and he just keeps telling her this is her fault. 12) Twenty Eight This is months after Echoes Of Silence and this is his over view of how it all started House Of Balloons. The Weeknd is looking at the fame and the women and he comes back to Valerie. He says that she isn't truly welcome in his home but when he says that he means in his mind. He continues to say that she isn't welcomed but thoughts of her still stay on his mind. Next he sees that its not her fault she's not even there the thoughts of her are all his own doing. And that he should have never welcomed her into his world. The next verse is about all the DDs one in particular that he gave his number that keeps giving it away to other people. These girls are clearly flooding his mind though and there controlling him like Dirty Diana. (This verse also is talking about how the fans told everyone to listen to his music and now he has more fans then he is personally wanted at first, he is saying why did you guys share all my music I'm becoming to big and I can't get out of the spot light. He also goes onto say that he would never made this music if he knew he couldn't go back to the way it was). Now he goes onto say that he wishes he never picked up these love less groupies. The song is also a double entendre for Coke he is pretty much saying that he should have just left the Coke in the club but it keeps following him into his everyday life because he is so addicted to it. (Video analyzation: He is doing a interview and its show the media and how he doesn't enjoy the media and how it bores him.. All the imagery out side of the media is what going threw his head. The girl on the bed is suppose to be Valerie (she is dressed like she was back in the House Of Balloons days) that can only see him from the outside (the tv) but she is in his mind always haunting him even durning the interview. Know the visuals for the next two verse are simply all the women that he's have **ed and he doesn't really care about them he still only cares about Valerie. He knows all these women are fake and just want him for his status which is why he sits back and just enjoys them for there looks in return but he is still haunted by Valerie. The final scene shows him leaving the studio and walking back to where Valerie is because he wants her back. On a music level this shows that he is leaving behind all the bull ** again and he just wants to put out music for the fans. And like always Valerie represents the OG fans. So when he is being haunted by her he is actually being haunted by the OG fans that want quality music and he knows he would be no where without them.. So he is coming back to us with and he just wanted to make this video to close the chapter and all the media and money that came with it. With a single music video and he is saying that he is going back to the art, the music :D)
For some reason, this song sounds like a theme song for a dark circus or freak show.. . . shit I'm starting to get an idea for a comic with this song. I love it (≧∇≦)/
Thursday is still my favorite for some nostalgic reason. I listened to it when it dropped and the to house of ballons. Both great. But Thursday will always gimme weeknd nostalgia like nothing else.
Oh, get over it. CFMF is a critically acclaimed, Grammy-nominated, highly successful mainstream song with dark undercurrents that most radio listeners have not picked up on. It will be appreciated for decades as a pop masterpiece despite what some of you hardcore XO fans think. And I've been listening to the dude since the release of the Thursday mixtape so it isn't as if I'm some new bandwagon fan.
Hibbs4Prez that's not what they're saying. This has a far more original sound and is itself a better song. CFMF is nothing more than a mainstream pop song generated to appeal to a broader variety of people to get his name out. Sure they're are some pretty dark undertones that regular listeners never caught, but his fans did, and that was the point. He switched up his sound to gain popularity, but he didn't the change darker and grungier theme(s).
I’m glad to see everyone saying how the song sounds like almost like “circus music”, as I also agree with that statement. Besides this point, I feel like this song is slept on compared to others in the album. Twenty Eight is also slept on I feel too lol.
Only The Weeknd kill a dark and twisted beat. That vibe is unreal!
Sad how few people listen to Weeknd and don't know this song.

Ok this what I hear after listen to every song at least 120180+ times its more of a reach then anything else :he:
CHARACTERS
The Weeknd:
He's The Weeknd he parties every weekend he is in love with a girl named Valerie and another girl named Drugs, Alcohol and Sex.
Valerie:
Valerie is a innocent perfect girl at the starting of the story she turns to drugs that The Weeknd introduced her to and honestly regrets ever meeting The Weeknd by the end of the whole tale. Valerie is always a metaphor for the fans.
Dirty Diana:
Dirty Diana is any stripper, coke addict, ****, or groupie that The Weeknd meets. He meets the first one in The Morning.
HOUSE OF BALLOONS
Intro: The story starts of with House Of Balloons a story about a girl named Valerie that falls for The Weeknd a guy that isn't really isn't her kinda guy but this tape like all the others with foreshadow the future to come.
1) High For This:
Ok so the story begins on a Friday in The Weeknd's loft and he is telling this innocent girl named Valerie that she should hold him tight and don't let anything get in the way of there night. The Weeknd moves on from there and tells Valerie that she should be high with him for this night and that she should roll X with him even though she's never done it. She decides to drop the X he gives her and she starts getting high and she takes off her clothes from the high feeling. Now The Weeknd is telling Valerie to take deep breaths and calm down, there is nothing to worry about he has done this before and he is watching over her.
2) What You Need:
Now they are still high from the X and The Weeknd is telling Valerie that she should ** him. The Weeknd says that her boyfriend is who she wants and loves but she is high right now and she is horny so she needs The Weeknd. They start having sex and she is doing freaky stuff she could never imagine doing because she is high on X.
3) House Of Balloons:
This song starts off with The Weeknd saying that he has been on a whole new level of happiness since she has gotten here and they need to party now. They go to a party and everyone is doing all kinds of drugs. Valerie is starting to get lost in the music and the atmosphere and she does some drugs and drinks. Now she is getting anxiety from all the drugs she has never done, and she is tweaking badly. Her mind just wants to leave this place but she can't because The Weeknd has her under his spell and keeps telling her that this is a happy house and she is having fun. He also makes a warning that nothing she is doing is his fault and it is not his issue if her parents find out.
4) Glass Table Girls
The Party is cooling off and Valerie is still tweaking and she is really trashed. The Weeknd tells her that it is time to roll back to his crib and it's time to bring out the glass tables. She is so gone that she decides to do coke for the first time.. She starts ****in him again and the time hits half past 6 in the morning and then they crash...
5) The Morning
It is now the next morning it is Saturday and The Weeknd is explaining that they ****ed like crazy last nite and made the walls shake like they were 6 months pregnant. The both of them are super hung over so they are drinking alcohol with there cereal to try and calm the hangover. Now Valerie calls a cab and leaves back to her boyfriend to spend the weekend with him because the weekend is a time to spend with your loved ones for The Weeknd thats coke, sex and other drugs.. for her its her boyfriend. He now is angry and sad that Valerie left his ass so he goes to a strip club at 4 a clock in the afternoon. He is kinda drunk from the alcohol he drank in the morning and he is drinking more. He begins to throw money at strippers to drowned his pain and he starts to say that he is getting drunker and higher and that the fall will hurt but he needs this downtown lovin. He takes home a Dirty Diana at the end of her shift later that night and..
6) Wicked Games
The Weeknd tells her that he left his thoughts about Valerie back home and he doesn't love her anymore (Which is a joke rofl). He wants to sleep with Dirty Diana and he needs her body and the drugs she has to erase the shame and pain because the girl he fell in love with last night just ****in left his ass. They start ****ing and getting trashed and says he can offer her fame and his love if she just lies and says she loves him for this night because he needs this for his confidence.
7) The Party
It is the next morning and it is Sunday The Weeknd wakes up to the sound of Dirty Diana sniffing coke in the bathroom. He tells her that he understands that she needs coke and he is fine with it and she should come outside and put that ** on the table because he loves coke to. He even says they should snort together. Hell she can even call some friends up to join and he can can even supply.
8) The After Party
The Weeknd keeps doing lines with her and he feels amazing, everything he touches feels amazing. They head to her place to get more coke and The Weeknd is shocked they made it to her place. He says that all these girls are talking about how she has no love for him and she just wants him from his fame but he just says that none of these girls have ever had a blow job from her (lol). At this point his mother is calling worried about him and he wants her to stop calling because he won't pick up because he is coked up.
9) Coming Down (Letters To Valerie [Part: 1])
He is now coming down off the coke and he is back home... He tells Valerie that he sleept with Dirty Diana but its okay he was fadded and coked up and he forgot about his love for her. He goes on to say that he always wanted her and he is coming down he is off the drugs and all he wants is her. He keeps leaving voicemails on her phone saying that and saying that he just wants to talk he is all alone :(
10) Loft Music (Letters To Valerie [Part: 2])
Now it is late Sunday it the end of the weekend and The Weeknd is telling Valerie that she should roll through the city with him tonight to end the weekend and that it doesn't matter if her going back to him looks like she has lost her morals because in his loft that doesn't matter. He end the voicemail by saying that she is ed for not wanting to go to his loft and he wants to know if she is even thinking about him because he can't get his mind off her.
11) The Knowing
Valerie calls The Weeknd back and tells him that she just wants to stay with her boyfriend. He tells her that he knows all about how she doesn't care for him anymore and she should look at what she has done and how she has made him feel. Also the weekend is now over, they both are drunk because they both are hurt from what has happened and he just keeps telling her this is her fault.
12) Twenty Eight
This is months after Echoes Of Silence and this is his over view of how it all started House Of Balloons.
The Weeknd is looking at the fame and the women and he comes back to Valerie. He says that she isn't truly welcome in his home but when he says that he means in his mind. He continues to say that she isn't welcomed but thoughts of her still stay on his mind. Next he sees that its not her fault she's not even there the thoughts of her are all his own doing. And that he should have never welcomed her into his world. The next verse is about all the DDs one in particular that he gave his number that keeps giving it away to other people. These girls are clearly flooding his mind though and there controlling him like Dirty Diana. (This verse also is talking about how the fans told everyone to listen to his music and now he has more fans then he is personally wanted at first, he is saying why did you guys share all my music I'm becoming to big and I can't get out of the spot light. He also goes onto say that he would never made this music if he knew he couldn't go back to the way it was). Now he goes onto say that he wishes he never picked up these love less groupies. The song is also a double entendre for Coke he is pretty much saying that he should have just left the Coke in the club but it keeps following him into his everyday life because he is so addicted to it.
(Video analyzation: He is doing a interview and its show the media and how he doesn't enjoy the media and how it bores him.. All the imagery out side of the media is what going threw his head. The girl on the bed is suppose to be Valerie (she is dressed like she was back in the House Of Balloons days) that can only see him from the outside (the tv) but she is in his mind always haunting him even durning the interview. Know the visuals for the next two verse are simply all the women that he's have **ed and he doesn't really care about them he still only cares about Valerie. He knows all these women are fake and just want him for his status which is why he sits back and just enjoys them for there looks in return but he is still haunted by Valerie. The final scene shows him leaving the studio and walking back to where Valerie is because he wants her back. On a music level this shows that he is leaving behind all the bull ** again and he just wants to put out music for the fans. And like always Valerie represents the OG fans. So when he is being haunted by her he is actually being haunted by the OG fans that want quality music and he knows he would be no where without them.. So he is coming back to us with and he just wanted to make this video to close the chapter and all the media and money that came with it. With a single music video and he is saying that he is going back to the art, the music :D)
omg
Damn this was beautiful, XO
pd. let me know if you've done a breakdown of Thursday or EOS too ;)
Wooooaaaaaaah
Woahh
Yo thats deep !! Thank you so much for sharing this
Loving this song. I can dance to it all day.
The vibe of this song is otherworldly.
I LOVE THESE SONGGS
For some reason, this song sounds like a theme song for a dark circus or freak show..
.
.
shit I'm starting to get an idea for a comic with this song. I love it (≧∇≦)/
I totally agree I was just thinking that shit to myself his beats are always 🔥🔥🔥 tho
I swear I've seen you comment in another video.
2 years later and Abel got a comic based on a song of his! Coincidence? lol
Ruthless XO yooo whats it called if you dont mind me asking?
yea boi!!!'
This song is amazing beyond belief and the beat is out of this world. 💗
for people saying False Alarm doesn't sound anything like the old Weeknd
Mike Craig This is so true though
Mike Craig I never noticed this
Mike Craig The thing is that because The Weeknd wasn't very popular, it was a bit more better for them. This applies to Kissland and kind of Trilogy
The reason why I'll take Trilogy Abel over current Abel any day
I really liked False Alarm myself
I listened to the full trilogy album and this was by far my favourite song
its so unique
I LOVE THE GUITARS
probably one of my favorite ones of all time, his voice is so unique and tasteful in this one
THE FUCKING WEEKND BROUGHT ME HERE
his voice , this song
that song brings me good memories 😊
3:30 That eery bell sounding thing amps up this creepy instrumental even more🔥🔥🔥🔥👻. Nostalgia mode is officially on, XOTWOD🖤
This sounds like such an amazing song to perform
Love The Weeknd ! Uk fan right here :)
The trilogy was so good for a free RUclips release. Id argue it is second only to beauty behind the madness.
Valid opinion sir or madam
this song makes me want to do drugs
NO KATNIP ONLY TREES
Mr1josephjohn shut up mom
ur mom is a respected member of the crack head comunitty i don think they wud like u going ariund speaking on her problems..
Drugs are bad,mmmkay?
Montanna Mosher dope all u need
mad underatted
Rolling stone is still one of the many great songs The Weeknd has
Sadly, this song can accomplish more in my girlfriend's pants than I can.
😏facts
dude you alright?
I'd do things to The Weeknd that makes 50 Shades Of Grey look Innocent.
+Brooklyn Jonesx that's the point. Get people down for some fun. Just don't do drugs that will hurt you really bad.
+s1d3k1ckRO depends on the drugs
Drugs are what makes you do the bad stuff ;) lol
Brooklyn Jonesx ok ok tickle him sweet hahahaha
Brooklyn Jonesx Bitch you look like you need a shower
The weekend doesn't need a Grammy,
Grammy needs him ❤️
this will remain one of my top 5 from him idc 😩
Thursday is still my favorite for some nostalgic reason. I listened to it when it dropped and the to house of ballons. Both great. But Thursday will always gimme weeknd nostalgia like nothing else.
2018 is about to end and i'm still listening to this song. love his old stuff. xo forever
2 million views and "Cant feel my face" has almost 700mil lol
Oh, get over it. CFMF is a critically acclaimed, Grammy-nominated, highly successful mainstream song with dark undercurrents that most radio listeners have not picked up on. It will be appreciated for decades as a pop masterpiece despite what some of you hardcore XO fans think. And I've been listening to the dude since the release of the Thursday mixtape so it isn't as if I'm some new bandwagon fan.
Hibbs4Prez that's not what they're saying. This has a far more original sound and is itself a better song. CFMF is nothing more than a mainstream pop song generated to appeal to a broader variety of people to get his name out. Sure they're are some pretty dark undertones that regular listeners never caught, but his fans did, and that was the point. He switched up his sound to gain popularity, but he didn't the change darker and grungier theme(s).
Romy Dingle well the money grab worked
Hibbs4Prez bruh stfu😂😂
Romy Dingle YES YES YES
The first song I ever heard by him and still my favorite
undoubtedly one of his hardest-hitting beats ever.🔥
When I introduce my friend to Weeknd's songs and after some time he's also an XO like me,
I be like :- *Hello, Welcome to the other side*
I’m glad to see everyone saying how the song sounds like almost like “circus music”, as I also agree with that statement. Besides this point, I feel like this song is slept on compared to others in the album. Twenty Eight is also slept on I feel too lol.
new fan?
@@Festicat Hahaha no, ive been listening to his music for like 3~ years now. I just thought to leave a comment on RUclips
If you're here in 2021 you're a legend
i hereby declare this as the best weeknd song
Did you hear? Did you hear about that sound? Did you hear how everytimes you listen to The Weeknd your ears are having sex?
THE MOST EXITING SONG EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I love the guitars...
love this song
This song is dark but I love it.
