it's pretty impressive how well the 80's japanese city pop sample here fits in so seamlessly with the vibe of the record, abel's really been at the top of his game lately
He’s so talented,it's insane that he was at the beginning homeless and he was living a life in the streets from Toronto. He was an hidden talent. xo. (I didn’t mean „homeless“ in that way, I ment he was just very poor and was looking every night for a place to stay. But actually we don’t know 100% everything about this)
oh don't say it like that...people's obsession to romanticize celebrities' life is incredible. There's 0 CHANCE for a homeless human being to get on top at Hollywood lol. He wasn't homeless cause he was poor lol
When he says, said I had you to myself but im out of time @2:30 Lorrrrddd have mercy his voice..protect this man at all cost.. he is heaven sent for sure
I absolutely love this song. I love that he sampled Tomoko Aran's "Midnight Pretenders." I hope Warner Music Japan puts the album the song is from(1983's Fuyukukan) on streaming services soon, just like they did with Mariya Takeuchi's Variety album last year(the one with "Plastic Love"). Edit: The album is on streaming services now for those who don't know!

I used to dance this song with my ex-fiancé, 4 months ago he died from a terminal illness. Today I listen to this song to feel peace and remember the beautiful moments I had with the love of my life. I hope wherever he is he knows how much I love and miss him.
well the weeknd got most of his inspiration from Daft Punk, you can see from "A tale by Quincy" which gets a really strong "Giorgio by Moroder" vibes to it. Also, it's not city pop, ya weebs
This song is giving off very Michael vibes and I love it! I love how he like to get into these old school vibes and just make it amazing. Watch all the radio stations play this song.

The first time I listened to Dawn FM and it got to this track, I immediately knew this was going to be a hit, the way he samples Midnight pretenders, and how he adds his own twist to it is so smooth.
I won't deny that this song sounds really good productionwise, but isn't this pretty much a full on rip off? I mean he pretty much copied everything from the Original, this isn't just a tiny sample. Even his singing is similar to the original at some points.
@@beastsole5308 Well, he probably have already paid the copyright owners and gave writing credits. That is basically standard procedure. He doesn't need to list the credit under a video on youtube. That is only done among good content creators for acknowledgement and credibility. If he don't pay credits he would be in serious legal issue.
ya that could be right and with weekends all this new amazing albums sure he don't have money issues 😅😅 , so most probably he would have paid for the ownership of original music
LYRICS The last few months I've been working on me, baby There's so much trauma in my life I've been so cold to the ones who loved me, baby I look back now and I realize And I remember when I held you You begged me with your drowning eyes to stay And I regret I didn't tell you Now I can't keep you from loving him You made up your mind Say I love you, girl, but I'm out of time Say I'm there for you but I'm out of time Say that I'll care for you but I'm out of time Said I'm too late to make you mine, out of time If he mess up just a little Baby, you know my line If you don't trust him a little Then come right back, girl, come right back Gimme one chance, just a little Baby, I'll treat you right And I'll love you like I should've loved you all the time And I remember when I held you (Held you, baby) You begged me with your drowning eyes to stay (Never again, baby) And I regret I didn't tell you Now I can't keep you from loving him You made up your mind Say I love you, girl, but I'm out of time Say I'm there for you but I'm out of time Say that I'll care for you but I'm out of time Said I'm too late to make you mine, out of time Ooh singing (Out of time) Said I had you to myself But I'm (Out of time) Say that I'll care for you but I'm out of time But I'm too late to make you mine, out of time (Out of time) (Out of time) Don't you dare touch that dial Because like the song says, you are out of time You're almost there, but don't panic There's still more music to come Before you're completely engulfed in the blissful embrace of that little light you see in the distance Soon you'll be healed, forgiven and refreshed Free from all trauma, pain, guilt, and shame You may even forget your own name But before you dwell in that house forever Here's thirty minutes of easy listening to some slow tracks On 103.5 Dawn FM.
The Weeknd is a genius, Weeknd goes in soo hard on this right here! Only reason he is getting more hits is cuz he is just watching that short on my channel explaining how all these rappers out here be blowing up so big
This song is the embodiment of soul, rich tones, a smooth voice and exceptional instrumentals. I can’t even explain what I wana say properly cause it’s so beautiful, it’s so beautiful

Sounds like childhood 🥺 those carefree days, driving off with uncle early morning to get fresh eggs and bread, looking forward to holidays to go stay at grandma's place and have a jolly time with the whole family ahhh...thanks Abel ❤️
I was listening to this album in the bath, this song came on and the moment it started i jolted up from the bath and splashed water everywhere, i couldn't believe i was hearing the instrumental of midnight pretenders being sampled by the weeknd! this is such a good song!!
I think it's time for The Weeknd's "Trilogy" era fans to let go of the Trilogy. We all loved that mixtape series. House of Balloons came out over 10 years ago. He's changed, we've all changed. He's no longer homeless, depressed, etc. We can appreciate that era but we need to accept that we will probably never hear that kind of music again. His growth and journey since then has been amazing. I've been a fan and will always be a fan because I've learned to appreciate his music and being open minded to he brings us.
This song is giving me that 80's vibes nostalgia like, the weekend songs are amazing and soothing along with hip-hop and R&B songs. I would play this song when I'm alone with someone on an actual date.
I know the lofi community is going to be eating good for a while thanks to this album! Can’t wait to see all them slow and reverb mixes from this album
As a fan of japanese music I have to say it turned out great. Good lyrics and I still understand it as a tribute to Tomoko and I celebrate that the work of city pop artists has earned the recognition nowadays.
I’ve been listening to him since I was around 11 years old. I didn’t know what any of his music meant back then, all I did was vibe and dance. But his music has impacted me on such a spiritual level.. I can’t explain it. Honestly I’d give him a big a$$ hug and thank him for helping me through my depression. I’m not completely through it, but I take it day by day. Thanks Abel ❤️
This song really hit me. Fellas when you have a good thing and someone who likes you for you, lock it down. Don’t wait cause she can always find another💯.

This giving me 80s Japanese City Pop vibes, and I'm 100% here for it.

The first time I listened to Dawn FM and it got to this track, I immediately knew this was going to be a hit, the way he samples Midnight pretenders, and how he adds his own twist to it is so smooth.
I won't deny that this song sounds really good productionwise, but isn't this pretty much a full on rip off? I mean he pretty much copied everything from the Original, this isn't just a tiny sample. Even his singing is similar to the original at some points.
But he didn't gave them any cradit , that's sort of unethical
@@beastsole5308 they have writing credits
@@beastsole5308 Well, he probably have already paid the copyright owners and gave writing credits. That is basically standard procedure.
He doesn't need to list the credit under a video on youtube. That is only done among good content creators for acknowledgement and credibility. If he don't pay credits he would be in serious legal issue.
ya that could be right and with weekends all this new amazing albums sure he don't have money issues 😅😅 , so most probably he would have paid for the ownership of original music
LYRICS
The last few months I've been working on me, baby
There's so much trauma in my life
I've been so cold to the ones who loved me, baby
I look back now and I realize
And I remember when I held you
You begged me with your drowning eyes to stay
And I regret I didn't tell you
Now I can't keep you from loving him
You made up your mind
Say I love you, girl, but I'm out of time
Say I'm there for you but I'm out of time
Say that I'll care for you but I'm out of time
Said I'm too late to make you mine, out of time
If he mess up just a little
Baby, you know my line
If you don't trust him a little
Then come right back, girl, come right back
Gimme one chance, just a little
Baby, I'll treat you right
And I'll love you like I should've loved you all the time
And I remember when I held you (Held you, baby)
You begged me with your drowning eyes to stay (Never again, baby)
And I regret I didn't tell you
Now I can't keep you from loving him
You made up your mind
Say I love you, girl, but I'm out of time
Say I'm there for you but I'm out of time
Say that I'll care for you but I'm out of time
Said I'm too late to make you mine, out of time
Ooh singing (Out of time)
Said I had you to myself
But I'm (Out of time)
Say that I'll care for you but I'm out of time
But I'm too late to make you mine, out of time
(Out of time)
(Out of time)
Don't you dare touch that dial
Because like the song says, you are out of time
You're almost there, but don't panic
There's still more music to come
Before you're completely engulfed in the blissful embrace of that little light you see in the distance
Soon you'll be healed, forgiven and refreshed
Free from all trauma, pain, guilt, and shame
You may even forget your own name
But before you dwell in that house forever
Here's thirty minutes of easy listening to some slow tracks
On 103.5 Dawn FM.

The Weeknd is a genius, Weeknd goes in soo hard on this right here! Only reason he is getting more hits is cuz he is just watching that short on my channel explaining how all these rappers out here be blowing up so big
I can't think of any other artist that could do as much justice to this sample than The Weeknd has on this track. Absolute perfection.
bruno mars maybe
@@epicnessbrian5295 No.
This song is the embodiment of soul, rich tones, a smooth voice and exceptional instrumentals. I can’t even explain what I wana say properly cause it’s so beautiful, it’s so beautiful

People dont like it cuz they became fans of him 2 albums ago bunch of young kids lol. Been here since day 1 mixtapes
Sure!
The Weeknd always dropping things at the most random times but I’m here for it
This Song is a total vibe, Got this on repeat 24/7. The 2020's is the new 80's - 90s people.
Agreeeed!!:)
*70s-80s
I'm sure you've seen all of the other comments mentioning it, but the original song sampled is a Japanese song from the 80s called Midnight Pretenders. It's also a banger.
What does a classic from the Japanese 80s have again to occupy as a sample?
This is also on repeat since its release im just obsessed with this and Here We Go Again.
Hands down one of his greatest songs ever 💯💯💯🔥🔥🔥🔥
this song is so relaxing, i will definitely put it on the favorites playlist.

The “Human Nature” vibe that this has is amazing. It’s unbelievable how close he sounds to Michael ❤️
2:45 is my favorite part of the song. The breakdown of the beat is phenomenal 🔥🔥🔥
Plus Weeknd was respectful enough to include Tomoko Aran’s OG vocals/audio!
The way this song emerges from its intro on A Tale By Quincy is astonishing and gives me chills. Fucking amazing.
my thoughts exactly
Sounds like childhood 🥺 those carefree days, driving off with uncle early morning to get fresh eggs and bread, looking forward to holidays to go stay at grandma's place and have a jolly time with the whole family ahhh...thanks Abel ❤️
The original song is a Japanese city pop song called “Midnight pretenders”. But omg the weeknd did the instrumental justice.
너무 좋아서 어쩔거야ㅠㅠ
I was listening to this album in the bath, this song came on and the moment it started i jolted up from the bath and splashed water everywhere, i couldn't believe i was hearing the instrumental of midnight pretenders being sampled by the weeknd! this is such a good song!!
Thought I was the only who knew… hell yeah.
Tomoko Aran - Midnight Pretenders
Hello from the bath as well! What a jam lmao
WE NEED THIS VIDEO. Such a perfect melody that brings back city pop
Sounds like a perfect fit for cruising in my car on GTA. Love it!
Agree sunroof is down you're good to go...
Vice City written all over it!
yeah same also man
get forza its such a better experience
@@AllBlxck but can u steal a pink diamond from blind people in a whole new island in Forza?
This that MJ early 80s vibe. Love it
I think it's time for The Weeknd's "Trilogy" era fans to let go of the Trilogy. We all loved that mixtape series. House of Balloons came out over 10 years ago. He's changed, we've all changed. He's no longer homeless, depressed, etc. We can appreciate that era but we need to accept that we will probably never hear that kind of music again. His growth and journey since then has been amazing. I've been a fan and will always be a fan because I've learned to appreciate his music and being open minded to he brings us.
Exactly! , his evolution is so f^ckin beautiful and he seems happy with it and where he's reached. GROWTH!
Nah fuck that those mixtapes will always be his best, his new music fire too but the music from Trilogy and Kissland hit different
My favorite song from this album, it gives me a lot of the Michael Jackson vibe, I love you weeknd :)
YES YES
Listen to this then listen to baby be mine
@@deeznuts2. they are different but they sound similar
The sample is midnight pretenders Tomoko Aran ☺️ city pop
"Rock With You" in fact haha.

I just can't comprehend how The Weeknd never misses - truly a legend
I’ve been listening to him since I was around 11 years old. I didn’t know what any of his music meant back then, all I did was vibe and dance. But his music has impacted me on such a spiritual level.. I can’t explain it. Honestly I’d give him a big a$$ hug and thank him for helping me through my depression. I’m not completely through it, but I take it day by day. Thanks Abel ❤️
