To be honest, this song is so introspective seeing it played live would actually kill the vibes. This tune is at its best at night, eyes closed with headphones on. Seriously, this is too good for concert and/or radio play.
My Dear Melancholy was like Abel telling us I am slowly going back to my old sound. Privilege: I'll be back to my old ways Heartless: And I'm back to my ways cause I'm Heartless.
How is this possible it feels like a perfect fusion and cultivation of every one of his projects thus far. I feel like this track could've been on any of his previous projects, yet it feels more refined. A new favorite of mine it's complete and utter ambiance.
That's how a true artist should grow, expand their sound but be able to take it back if needed. The Weeknd has showed us many times he's able to do this!
@@yendar9262 hey hey hey bro there are some songs that are as good or better than after hours butt still after hours is without a doubt one of the best songs of the decade
THIS IS CRAAAZY! Real Kissland vibes on this one. This sounds like a dark version if "professional," "wanderlust," "wasted times," and "intro" by The XX had a kid. Also, only the second song over 6 mins since Kissland. Considering the album title and setting, I think this is either meant to be a sequel or a counterpart to Kissland. I hope this song is the intro, and I hope this song is also setting a dark theme for the album, and it's the rule, not the exception. XOTWOD babyyyy!
Theory : When he says “ I almost died in my dream again “ could be from the video heartless almost dying at the end and the same with blinding lights when he gets jumped. If this track is the last one on the album then the previous ones could all be an illusion.
Well dudes my theory is that the 14th track or the last track will be a love letter either dedicated to the fans or to his significant other. We can take examples from BBTM, Trilogy, Kiss Land
@@narutona2159 I agree. The seamless transition of The Party & The After Party into Coming Down... Outside to XO/The Host... Adaptation to Love In The Sky... It's impressive tbh
xColrz that’s nothing compared to Trilogy & Kissland transitions. I feel like I’m levitating when listening to the XO/ The Host and Adaptation to Love In The Sky transition😩

I love how his newly released stuff sounds like the old weeknd that I fell in love with. That unique sound that I never heard before but gave me MJ & Prince vibes but new age. I'm glad he is going back to his Original sound🙌😏
@@ashwinkumardeshmukh995 forget the radio hits there's only a few songs for the XOs and I strongly feel that it's culmination of all his past projects, and not just Kiss Land. Let's not compare anything to Kiss Land. Nothing can top, let alone reach its level of greatness.
The fact that this album still feels fresh and new really tell us how talented he is. I swear he just released this album a couple weeks ago. And don't even get me started on Blinding lights and save your tears those song are so overplayed but it seems to never get old.
Listening to this song it's easy to see why he seems to be taking so much time on this album, you can tell hes really trying to finish these songs properly
This is the song that dethroned Shameless as my favorite Abel song ever. The calm beginning, the build up to the drop, just an absolute masterpiece of a song through and through
This may be my favorite The Weeknd song of all-time. The level of vulnerabilitiy and maturity in this song and in his voice is unmatched. Not to mention the cinematic rollercoaster ride this instrumental takes you on. I feel like this song marked a new point in his career.
After over 2 weeks of this album, I'm finally going to say it. This is my favorite The Weeknd album. Kiss Land: Will always be Underrated. Mainstream wasn't ready for this. BBTM: Propelled him into mainstream appeal. Starboy: Underappreciated because he went "pop." However, there was some validity to that criticism. Trilogy: I don't count as an album. 3 separate mixtapes. After Hours: This is the album that he wanted. He found a way to appeal to the mainstream without catering to them. He told the story that he wanted. The storyline of After Hours: In Alone Again, he was struggling to draw the line between being in a relationship and living the nightlife. Too Late talks about how he can't be saved from himself. Hardest To Love and Scared To Live, he reminisces on hurting this lover so many times that she's hesitant to love anyone else. She ultimately leaves him, and he's kind of reflecting on that. Escape LA and Snowchild, he's reflecting on material things and women, but they all feel the same now. In Faith he parties so hard he OD's. Heartless and Blinding Lights, he's embracing the nightlife, and at the end of the songs he harkens back to a specific lover for comfort. In Your Eyes, The Weeknd suspects his lover of seeing someone else. In Save Your Tears, he tries to go back to this lover again, but this time she won't accept him. In Repeat After Me, it's confirmed that his lover finds someone else. The Weeknd is put off by this, and suggests that she doesn't love the new guy, and doing this to spite him. In After Hours, he misses this lover and the only way he can get close to his lover again is in his dreams. And the only way he can forget, is by getting high. But now, the high isn't working (after the OD scare, he realized the high he wants is unobtainable). And he's feeling lonely in those crowded rooms with all of those women that look the same. In Until I Bleed Out, he's sick of getting high, and he's sick of thinking about this lover, and the only way to stop it is by cutting himself, and bleeding out (killing himself). Final Lullaby was coming to terms with dying, and putting himself and his fantasies about his lover to sleep. I look at this album like his Rolling Stone song. He's talking about a lover, life, drugs, and fans as a multi-entendre.
If I didn't know this was part of the new album I would've assumed this was an unreleased Trilogy song because goddamn this is a Trilogy/Kiss Land vibe
idk bruh he's good but not interesting to watch in 2024 we got only Six Mello as the primal one cuz of the way he moves (he just the most haterd artist now) idk why tho
Past eight years? You mean his entire career? 😂 To me he has been releasing bangers for eleven years he has nine songs from 2009 However he basically started in 2012 eight years ago.
How the fuck is that salty? Honestly I am confused, I think you saw the word and you got all excited and was like ooh I want to call someone salty even if it doesn't make any sense.
@@lightitself.8206 he didn't released them, they were leaked because he was ashamed of them lol. He actually made a debut at 2010 with his first few released songs and The Noise wasn't even leaked til after he even debuted, sooo 10 years lmao
God the video visualiser for this track is kinda haunting... quite raw but simply amazing acting (or not? Maybe it's all raw emotions?) from it is amazing This man has a gift and it's good to see he's able to channel it and benifit from rewarding results noth emotionally and financially

If you're on headphones, there's this little crackling noise that happens in the background throughout this masterpiece, that I could imagine Abel singing this sitting in an empty dark room with a candle lit.
@@Subhash_bhatt If you actually listen it sounds like a dice cube bouncing which makes so much sense with the whole theme of the album revolving around gambling and casinos.

@@magnolia3521 Changes is good lol
3:05 my favorite
If I didn't know this was part of the new album I would've assumed this was an unreleased Trilogy song because goddamn this is a Trilogy/Kiss Land vibe
Adam Ali his back!!!!
@@chicono17 he's been back since November lmao
That’s all we’ve all we wanted.
EXACTLY WHAT I WAS THINKING
Kiss land vibe for sure
Bruh, it’s been a year and I still listen to this album everyday.
Fr frrrr
Todos os dias ouço The weeknd 💕✔
Yup me too
Album name plz?
@@sharleensweet after hours
Dude this song... the album... I still can’t believe someone can humanely come up with this masterpiece.
Tell me about it!
That's what I'm saying bruh like what the fuck

Well, it's not like he did this on his own. Look at the songwriting and producing credits, there's A LOT of people that contributed to this album.
God loves you repent Dios los ama
This song is so amazing!! Abel is the greatest artist of my generation imo
idk bruh he's good but not interesting to watch in 2024 we got only Six Mello as the primal one cuz of the way he moves (he just the most haterd artist now) idk why tho
I didn’t even realise the song was 6 minutes. That’s how good it is!!!!
B H dude same literally until now LOL
Holly shit
I barley realized this too lol
Whaaaaa
whooa so fakin true
Everything this guy has released for the past 8+ years has been bangers. I think we got ourselves a living legend ladies n gentlemen.
Past eight years? You mean his entire career? 😂 To me he has been releasing bangers for eleven years he has nine songs from 2009 However he basically started in 2012 eight years ago.
Light, Itself. It says 8+
How the fuck is that salty? Honestly I am confused, I think you saw the word and you got all excited and was like ooh I want to call someone salty even if it doesn't make any sense.
The Weeknd is Prince for the current generation.
@@lightitself.8206 he didn't released them, they were leaked because he was ashamed of them lol. He actually made a debut at 2010 with his first few released songs and The Noise wasn't even leaked til after he even debuted, sooo 10 years lmao
Here before 1 million views. Whose been a fan since House of Balloons days?
Sure you was
Soulful xotwod
Here dude
not u
Does it matter? Who’s a fan of The Weeknd ❤️
One of the best song ever
His music sounds like past, present, and future, it’s amazing
Yup, it's basically timeless.
@@thedon0516 smooth
Copied comment from blinding lights but ok
nah if it was future you would hear woahhhhh after every line of song. if u know what i mean.
@@pakboy7090 I dont
The beat drops hard on this my god I’m obsessed with this song.
Sameeee
same lol
The best Song... Fiuu Fiuuu... 😉✌
This is not a music. This is an experience.
Yaaasss
The revolution will not be televised
That's deep and will always stick with me. Well put.
🙏🏾🙏🏾 feel ya bro
Damn.. that's why I feel related to the song and it hits different.
the beat drop at 2:12 is fabulous 🔥
his music makes me want to create something creative.
me too
Buy dreams on the ps4 and start getting creative
hi Bae. btw wobba wobba
His uNcle was the blyes playa higmess jonson
Heartless:”selling dreams to these girls with their guard down”.
Afterhours:” it’s my fault, made you put down your guard”.
Sarcastic Mango when they go down* bruh you’re dumb
ong
“Baby where are you now when I need you most?” Hits differently every time
Not really...
You are so goddamn right
@@rickclark7508 thank you Rick for your input!
@@blessthehype7056 Any time👍
Facts this part hit different
God the video visualiser for this track is kinda haunting... quite raw but simply amazing acting (or not? Maybe it's all raw emotions?) from it is amazing
This man has a gift and it's good to see he's able to channel it and benifit from rewarding results noth emotionally and financially
the weeknd is the only artist that is experimenting with his sound and still somehow still brings nostalgia
You must not know Tame Impala
Sean Bryant i actually haven’t listened to anything by him! what should be my first song i listen to ?
I wouldn't go as far as "the only one", but otherwise you're spot on
@@hadis230 Eventually
Costan lmao i should’ve said for me, every other i listen to has disappointed me with their new projects.
I can't listen to any other singers. I am constantly returning to this album.
Once listening to The Weeknd will never go back to anyone else
Hamdi Yildiz same here bud
I felt the same way when his Album first came out .
Same!
dude’s insane..
The producer for this track deserves the world
The weeknd produced it
@@beardlessbeazt sampled from gesaffelstein's OPR.
@@beardlessbeazt Dammmmmnnnn :o
@@ieh6 love gesaffelstein. knew this sounded familiar. \
@@beardlessbeazt really?? damn he's good. where did you get this form by the way?
love this song ❤
My Dear Melancholy with the cinematic feel of Kiss Land.
Album coming March 20!!!
The King Of The Fall finally claiming his throne. XO
Looks like king of the spring lol.. it rhymes
He’s going to navigate and take over every season 🙏 my dear Melancholy was spring as well
How is this anything remotely like king of the fall? In that song he's talking about bitches swallowing, and in this one he's sad and lonely???
@@HBC423 the fall is whenever the weeknd says it's the fall.
@@wayned535 exactly lol
"And Imma drink the pain away, and I'll be back to my old ways."
Damn... he wasn't lying.
Kmon
Glgtagggg 4:37
A legend's day starts by listening this song
w
I just keep coming back. He really outdid himself this time
The Weeknd is such a vibe. His music doesn’t compare to any other artist out there.
hello luis. btw wobba wobba
I have made a LYRIC VIDEO for the SONG, GO WATCH IT HERE: m.ruclips.net/video/WgabfI6HM50/видео.html
i strongly disagree to that friend
Arikxul cAnt ?
I think I know what you mean that other music doesnt compare?
This has all Trilogy, Kissland and My Dear Melancholy vibes morphed into one.
And some starboy
After hours is still a vibe 4 years later .
😊
This doesn't deserve a Grammy, but a Nobel
Nobel for Abel yayyy
not nobel price an oscar
no
or an ABEL
@@aaryasharma4940 lets not go that far, be realistic🙄

It doesn’t even feel like a 6 minute song that’s how good it is
6 min not enough 😭
Bruh I didn’t even realize it was 6mins 😨😨
Aidan O’Boyle BRUH I JUST REALIZED IT WAS 6 MINS WTF
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
felt like 6 minutes to me
2024 September??
here!
Yea!
2035
Yup
2020 bro
Abel doesn’t belong to any music genre in the business, because he owned his own music genre
this is dark r&b
Exactly! Been saying this since 2010
Ashton Sweeting kinda how kygo did it with tropical shit
FACTTSS!
Exactly, that’s what he has been saying
This song really hits different at 2 A.M
Moh Kb agreed
For real it makes me fall a sleep so deeeeeeepppppppp
approved
This was prolly recorded at 2 am
It does.
The Weeknd is that friend you see once in a year but whenever he pulls up its a great time 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔊🔊🔊
Well said
Mr Music me
Austin-i wish i had a friend
*Because you guys have friends ?*
Mr Music Oh yeah yeah
Best artist alive ❤
This song is just a masterpiece, every sound and every note are simply perfect

@@notdylanpretorius3827 or just one girl, especially if that girl was THE GIRL
@@LeoFSalcedo Nice physique bro
@@harnoorsingh1482 Tnx bro
this is kinda a mix of kiss land & my dear melancholy.
Exactly on point 👌🏼
I agree
nah bro this is the new abdel but he me his alter ego
Totally 👌🏼
If it ain’t XO then it gotta go im all about it
If you're on headphones, there's this little crackling noise that happens in the background throughout this masterpiece, that I could imagine Abel singing this sitting in an empty dark room with a candle lit.
or you know, with a decent pair of speakers
That is just aVinyl crack to give this song an old analog vibes
jake roberts nah it’s too quiet doesn’t matter the quality of speakers unless you have it loud ofc
@@Subhash_bhatt If you actually listen it sounds like a dice cube bouncing which makes so much sense with the whole theme of the album revolving around gambling and casinos.
@@moetaha5390 The albums theme is breakup, and heartbreak.
