Every time I start listening to this album I promise myself that this time imma pay better attention to the lyrics but, then I just get lost in the vibe of the music like I’m in a trance.

The title is 100% correct. Faith is the best song on the album.

The song literally describes to us how drugs feel like. At first they get you hyped, full of energy, and then what happens is that happiness and energy disappear, and you slowly become depressed, and then you finish like this outro.

Abel himself, Daheala, Carlo Montagnese(Illangelo), Kevin Parker(Tame Impala), Metro Boomin, Frank Dukes, Dre Moon, Oscar Holter, Max Martin and some other ones, were the Producers of this album. Hands up so proud of them 🙌🙏

If you didnt catch it, this songs fades into blinding lights and the blinding lights start. These two songs are connected.

Faith was Selena's name on Spring Breakers (I lost my Faith) and Bella was modelling for true religion (I'm losing my religion every day). He was sober for a year when he dated Selena, after that ended he went to his old ways,said this line in many songs post Selena. Just my interpretation 👀

Just a theory: I think the beginning of the song is all hype because he's on the drugs and he's feeling everything, and hyperactive. So is the beat. But the outro brings it all back down into a slow and mellow because he's coming down from the drugs. Anyone with me?

The outro is him overdosing, then the ambulance comes and gets him, that’s why he says “I ended up in a flashing car” and then that transitions into Blinding Lights, like the lights of the ambulance he’s in, and the drug MDMA is commonly known to make your eyes sensitive to light.

Metro is on this one too. He killed his features.

That song about the "teen choice awards" is "Reminder" from the Starboy album.

FAITH IS MOST DEFINITELY THE BEST SONG on the album besides Until I bleed out but I legit played it on repeat for DAYS. I finally took a break because I was hearing it in my sleep too haha but it will be so amazing to hear in concert !!!

Cat in the back staring at the window like he misses his girl. 😂

To me I took the ended as he overdose and the ambulances in the background Idk could be wrong

Blinding lights hits different when you take that song from the ending of Faith. A result of an overdose and riding in an ambulance... Damn

This album is just so GOATED. Faith is definitely one of the best. Not just on this album, but of all his discography.

When he says, “I take half a Xan and I still stay awake” And Drake says, “ I take half a Xan, 13 hours till I land got me out like a light...” just so you know Like this so Ernest can see

I'm so happy I'm not the only one that sings to my pets.

This album is probably one of the best modern albums I’ve heard. Many of the song had me in complete awe. The production value is insane.

I love how you break down each part of the song. You my friend have earned a new sub

Also, the "I lost my faith" line uses the same melody as "Heartless" "I lost my heart and my mind", which immediately precedes it on the track list. This song in particular really ties together a bunch of the other songs on the album

Metro boomin want some more....

12:13 tears in the rain: “die with a smile”

Teen choice line is from Reminder off of Starboy. Also can't forget Pray for Me feat. Kendrick. Older song where he mentions prayer.

This is probably his best album because he somehow managed to combine all the sounds from each "chapter." Like in this song, we got a Starboy type beat but the throbbing bassline and how his vocals are mixed remind me of Thursday and his falsetto is similar to Kiss Land.

Who else was waiting on this reaction?🔥🔥🔥

Let’s goo I love the way how you break down the lyrics and the production on this song is 🔥🔥

YES I’VE BEEN WAITING THIS IS DEFINITELY MY FAVORITE

I appreciate how deep you go into the songs! Keep it up

I love that you catch the old school song references he throws into his new music! He's definitely the goat when it comes to being able to create a vision through his lyricism and shed light on his wild ass life

The production is on another level here,you know what I'm saying.....I was looking forward to this video and your reaction like,damn right ?

you did a Coming Down reference but there was also one at 9:50 coming down:”i ain’t lie to nobody but you, and me , but you especially”

Metro Boomin be all over this album, with Heartless, Escape from LA, Faith, and Until I Bleed Out. His production is on another level.

Bro you caught the first beat production part. You are legendary. I'm speechless at your genius level. 👏👏👏👏🔥💯

I’ve been waiting all day!! YESS ERNEST! XO

The drop for the drop mindblown

Thank you!! 👏👏👏👏easy to get lost in this one. Definitely an emotional roller coaster. The end, again, takes you somewhere. All of a sudden alone again and low. Mesmerizing

Before this review I never knew about you, but looking at the way that you are going through the lyrics, i respect you man, you are doing such a great job.

Been waiting for this all day! Didn’t disappoint!

I've watched a bunch of reaction videos to this song , but you're the only one who did it right, I love this song man it's my second favourite song on this album.. of course Blinding lights is my favourite.

Love watching you react to music! First off I listen to music I would have blown off before, glad I’m catching this. Also you catch and bring attention to the beat drops and subtle things we may miss (or certainly I would). Thanks for being so connected to the arts and sharing with us.

Bruh you don't have any idea of how much I was waiting for you to react to this song. I love so much your video reactions and breakdown omg

Really spot on in depth review. Faith is the standout in my book from After Hours. It is iconic. It’s just got this sound that hits like a train and the lyrics are insane it’s dark , compelling.. it’s that kind of art/ music that only The Weeknd can do. Pure 🔥🔥🔥🔥

Dude, you killed it. I was waiting for this reaction bro. That’s my fave in this album as well.

I LOVE your reviews. They are so thorough and I have been a Weeknd fan for over 8 years, you do his lyrical artistry justics.

I been waiting for this reactionnn

Love your review you really break it down and depict the song the Xo fam appreciates you ❤️

Bro, I just want to tell you that your attitude puts me in a positive mood. Like that you get music and are just a positive dude. Glad I found your channel months ago. Sad it wasnt sooner. But keep up the good work fam.

Finally!! This is my favorite song off the album , shit hits me so hard and makes me cry every single time

I didn't knew twenty eight is your fav song by the weeknd .. that was my fav too .. you have a follower for life

"I took half a Xan and I still stay awake" - the weeknd (Faith) "I took half a Xan,13 hours till I land, had me out like a light" - Drake (sicko mode) hmmmm anyone catch that?

The transition from Faith into Blinding Lights is something i live for.

Loved your take on this. This song hit me the hardest the first time I listened, and it has hit me harder with each listen through. Which at this point, is like at 20 listens through the entire album.

This is straight up one of the best breakdown/reactions to a song I’ve ever seen. As a person who doesn’t really look past the surface level of music, your review was pretty enlightening.

That outro is so good I got asmr from it.

Bruh I just said to myself bring me more Abel After Hours reactions and I see this video lol

our mindsets so similar when listening to music bro i knew somebody gotta be as hyped about this song

BEEN WAITING FOR THIS

I knew you were gonna love it 🙌

This is my fav songgg. Great reaction brotherrrr. You earned my sub.

FINALLY 🔥 you didn’t disappoint fantastic video thanks for sharing my hype lol

Ernest....I just want you to know how much I appreciate your sharing of this new album and reacting to it, examining not just the beat, not the lyrics, but just every layer within this amazing album. it has helped me to really come to see why this album has blown me away. we don't hear music like this nowadays....the amount put into his liver performances, short film, music videos, and everything in between......it's one of the best "modern" albums I've heard in quite some time. also, check out billy joel's music vid for it's still rock and role, abels outfit during this whole album, and the joker's red jacket.....which one wore it better? lol and yes, there is one right answer :P

You are always making the best analysis!

Hey man, would actually love more reactions that display your geeking out for production creativity!!! They're fun man

Bro , your cat be peeping out of the window all the time, what's happening outside the window? And I'm here after 7 of your other videos , you're killin it and you're explaining it so perfectly. 🔥

I didn't even notice the REM reference until you mentioned it haha. One of my favorite songs

Bro your so under rated bro keep up the good work

I had to come back and tell you you did such an amazing fuckin job describing the lyrics and sound of this track, and you made me think about it and go back and appreciate it even more.

I love watching your reactions. I never thought someone felt music like I do. I can’t explain it.

So glad I found this reaction! I’ll never forget hearing song for the first time... automatic goosebumps! Great review, this song is truly a masterpiece. Definitely the best on the album!

YOUR ANALYSIS IS ON POINT BRO

is it weird that this song kinda make me wanna do drugs ?

This is my favorite reaction of yours by far I completely feel you on the feels Faith gives you. It's fucking numbing straight to your soul bro 😍😭

Third Fam!! Pow pow pow 💥 💥 💥 let’s go!

I know I've made this comment before, but when you do "In Your Eyes," think about watching the brand new video for your first reaction or maybe watch it right after you hear the song, because they don't seem to match up initially, but that video is going to be legend.

Knew you would love it. It's my favourite one on the album. In my top 5 of all time weeknd songs now

Great reaction video! I appreciate the lengths to which you went to dissect each bit and acknowledge the lines he throws in to reference some of the lesser known classic tracks, sentiments, and lyrics. And yeah, the line "I want you to hold me while I'm smiling... while I'm dying...." is probably one of the hardest lyrics I've heard all year. Shooketh, I was.

This is one of my favorite tracks on the album.

Daaaaaaaamn that song metaphorically dragged me from room to room. Basement to the attic. I am new to The House of Ernest so not sure if you have reacted to The Zone yet but that song makes me feel a lot like this one. Cuts to the white meat. Especially the BAHRZ about not giving a damn if he leans till he falls coz he's felt the ground before.

DUDE FINALLY CMOOON UPLOAD THE VIDEOS IN THE MORNING I CANT WAIT ANYMOREEEEEE

Your one of my absolute favourite reactors.. So passionate and very knowledgeable.. I love faith too 👌👌👍😘🇬🇧

i love you bro keep doing what your doing you’re a great youtuber💙

It hit me in the feels when he says I've been sober for a year now its time for me to go back to my old ways dont you cry for me. Like the Adderall and stuff may be his fuel but I don't want him to end up overdosing. He has so much life and potential and he has been so happy here recently

I can't wait to see your reaction on Until I Bleed Out, it's my favourite so far!

I love how you react all of Abel’s songs….. so sincere and keep on reactinggggggggggg

This guy see's an hears songs on another level ...its insane ...full respect ..sub from ireland

I knew this song was gonna be the high of the album when he featured the snippet in the short film. Was hyped since n when it dropped and heard it Gahdamn 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Just watched Faith live in November 2020!! Love to go back and watch all the reaction videos!

Never waited for an album like his. Never waited for a reaction video like yours. 🤯

love going bk and watching old reactions..

Felt like it was ages to come 😻😻

Still playing After Hours cover to cover going into 2022. The Weeknd created a masterpiece with this one. Production was 🤌🏽

the freakin cats respond 😂

Keep up the great work 👍

The best reactions I've watched today shout out to you bro the album is too 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

I don’t even know how many times I’ve seen this video. This is my favorite song off the whole album.

Oh, you a FAN fan! I f**k with this reaction/breakdown.

This album for me is honestly better than Thursday... not quite the other 2 mixtapes but even that takes a lot. What a genius

I love these! AHHHHHH

He loved it so much, he pauses the song, rewinds it back, listens to it again, and then pauses it again not long after the part that he paused at before.

Another Great Reaction.
