The vibrato, the shake in his voice, his falsetto tone, his beaten ass face. My goodness this man is perfection.

The “once again, The Weeknd” goes so perfectly with me continuously coming back to this vid like every 30 minutes

How refreshing to hear a break-up song that doesn't place the blame on the ex, and in fact, wishes them well. There's a lot of emotional maturity here. It's hard to move on from someone when they're the only lover you've ever known. Even harder to admit that you're the problem.

This song doesn’t get talked about enough

When Daniel Craig said, "once again the weeknd" he was like, "oh you don't know what's gonna happen next". I bet he died during the stage rehearsals

Every performance of this era feels like a movie scene. His body language and facial expressions express so many emotions of sadness, insanity. He's incredible!

I can tell it's painful for him to sing these songs...that's why I respect him so much. Give him his roses while he's here, people.

Can't believe Grammys ignored this guy, this masterpiece...

After Hours will destroy my mind

we aren’t talking enough about the amount of different genres that he’s pulling off in this album. it will be a masterpiece. i don’t deserve you Abel, nobody does...

This song deserved a lot more mainstream radio play, it’s a great song & would definitely be a mainstay in the billboard top 10

Still can't believe he didn't get nominated for a Grammy.

This album going to be one of his best ones yet don’t get me wrong they’re all amazing tho

Bruh, this guys vocals are insane. Can’t wait for this album.

He sounds exactly like the studio version, even better... That's incredible. Vocal King.

The vocal quality sounds almost too good to be true it makes you think that maybe he has to be lip syncing or something but like nahhh that’s just how good he is lol

“And if I held you back at least I held you close.” Omg 😩😩😩😩

This album will destroy the billboard

Yo please don't die too young...

He’s got one of the most beautiful voices I’ve ever heard 🥺

I can't understand how people dislike the weeknd's videos...

If this man still with same fire content that he did and he still doing ........this man will be one of the best in the history in a short period of time because you can't describe what he is doing right now without saying " This man is something special ".

This will be remembered 30 years from now still iconic

Only Abel can make the live performance more interesting than the recorded version.

Producer: Do you want to try some auto tune? The Weeknd: What’s that?

Earlier in his career he was harmonizing about his pain, drugs, lust, and the nightlife. Now he's realizing the damage he's done to his self and lovers. The Weeknd is growing before our very eyes.

he sounds EXACTLY like the studio version if not better!

Most underrated song the album, such an amazing song and this performance is amazing, you can really hear his voice live which is absolutely amazing.

This feels like the song angel just more beautiful and more 80s

“We fell apart right from the start” Sounds like when the right people met at the wrong time, so sad...

MAn, he is crying . This album was made from his heart.

Almost All the songs in After Hours deserves to be singles and be recognized world wide. He really delivers every single damn time. This man is Legendary right here.

it's shocking to hear that this sounds exactly like the studio version

A song that should be in the ending of a romance movie : )

U can tell that song was about Bella I can tell through his voice the love he feels for her and his facial expressions at the end u can tell that song comes straight from the heart

I cannot exaggerate how impactful this song is too me …. Every single lyric perfectly correlates my relationship at the time of this songs release…. It genuinely feels like I wrote this song myself if that makes sense … bless you Weeknd.

Like just stop for a second and realize that we are living in the times of this man. Like just really think about it for a moment. You know how we look back on legends like Prince and MJ? We are witnessing this man become one of them. Maybe he’s not there yet, but he’s on his way just like they were at some point. He’s on another level.

This will be played at every slow dance for the next 10 years

Look at that emotion. How amazing that he is able to put that much emotion into his music and still sound so beautiful.

When James Bond calls your name you know you're a legend.

no one is talking about how insane his vocals sound like... no backtrack thats all him..

Vocally there’s not a lot of people close to his talent

after hours album is the only thing i listen to. his voice is so beautiful it's literally perfect this performance is god tier

imagine not giving a single nomination to this masterpiece of an album.. grammys are a joke

This guy is really going for the throne

This album is already a classic and it hasn’t even come out yet.

Honestly I think that at the Moment he his One of the most emotional Singer on the Earth. He his Amazing 😍

Abel’s “hey!” Is absolutely undefeated.

Not even 10 seconds into his performance, I got chills throughout my body. This man has a true talent and I can’t wait for his album to drop.

I don’t think I’ve ever been more emotionally invested in waiting for an album...

[Verse 1] When I saw the signs, I shoulda let you go (Yeah, yeah) But I kept you beside me And if I held you back, at least I held you close (Yeah) Should have known you were lonely [Pre-Chorus] I know things will never be the same Time we lost will never be replaced I'm the reason you forgot to love [Chorus] So don't be scared to live again Be scared to live again No, don't be scared to live again Be scared to live again [Verse 2] You always miss the chance to fall for someone else (Uh, uh) 'Cause your heart only knows me They try to win your love, but there was nothing left (Uh) They just made you feel lonely (Hey) [Pre-Chorus] I am not the man I used to be Did some things I couldn't let you see Refuse to be the one who taints your heart [Chorus] So don't be scared to live again Be scared to live again No, don't be scared to live again Be scared to live again (Hey) [Post-Chorus] I hope you know that, I hope you know that I've been praying that you find yourself I hope you know that, I hope you know that We fell apart, right from the start [Bridge] I should have made you my only When it's said and done [Chorus] So don't be scared to live again Be scared to live again I said don't be scared to live again Be scared to live again (Oh) [Post-Chorus] I hope you know that, I hope you know that I've been praying that you find yourself I hope you know that, I hope you know that We fell apart, right from the start You're welcome 👍

Synthesizer by Oneohtrix Point Never/Daniel Lopatin doesn't get talked about much here. It makes this version so so much better than the studio version. And elevates it to a level that combined with The Weeknd's vocals is pure MAGIC and SURREAL ❤️

I think the whole album’s gonna be full of 80s vibes

If the corona virus messes up this tour I’m done

Perfection. 3:00 sounds just like MJ when he comes off the note. I had to replay it.

I mean this is late, but I am in love with his voice. I mean......i can't- He has the most beautiful voice I have ever heard. Like, goddamn.

Why is no one commenting on the fact that HIS VOCALS are AMAZING in this...

This song feels like an ending of an high school 80s movie showing the after credits it gives me a nostalgic vibe damn the Weeknd I feel like I’m growing an Afro as well lol

I love coming back to this video and reading the comment section. Everybody feeling what I feel. All these people touched by him.

Who else wants Abel to finally be genuinely happy?

After breaking things off in a toxic relationship, this hits on a different level than I ever would’ve imagined

we need an actual music video for this

He’s so passionate with his performances I love him so much

This is honestly shaping up to be his best album🩸 it’s so vibrant and DIFFERENT! All the songs he has released so far have been amazing

i can't describe the feeling this song give me. the vibe, his voice, personality, wow. weeknd i really love u. already know album is gonna be fuckin masterpiece.

Man his promotion of the album was killer. The red suit, every performance he went to he looked like he got beat the fuck up, the gloves; top notch. And *also* the album was really good.

ladies and gentlemen.. this is what you call real music

I feel like this album perfectly describes his evolution, and he chose the sequence of the new songs perfectly....first we have heartless, an homage to his past, then blinding lights, having fun but blinded by the truth, then after hours, sitting in reflection, and now Scared to Live, a sort of confessional and asking forgivness. Genius.

Vocals are unreal - one in a billion voice

Man, this song is just pure love. Underrated.

one of the best and most competent artists now on mainstream, he performs his songs live so efortlessly and with a great accuracy, after hours favorite album of 2020.

This lowkey sounds like a closing song to a banger musical episode of a banger tv show

He’s really doing something different, his commitment to this character is incredible every performance every video has been telling a story. His acting is incredible subtle movements in his eyes speak a thousand words to this story. I love it so much

i literally can’t stop watching this

This song is the most beautiful thing ever

Wow, I'm 40 years old and have heard alot of great singing and voices over the years. This is live singing! Such a pure voice and perfect tone, falsetto on point and great delivery. He won't get the same recognition but this is this generation's Michael Jackson.

Nobody mention Daniel Craig’s intro? 😂😂 he’s like bruh... does he need an intro?

Love his live more then

Since i lost my mom, i've been scared to live again, but some amazing songs like these show my another side of life.

His facial expressions .. He feels every word he said...

I feel like he is talking to himself in third person with this song. Hits really hard.

This performance gives me chills ..

"We fell apart, right from the start" hits me every time :(

HIS FACIAL EXPRESSIONS HE'S REALLY FEELING IT

Admitting that you're the toxic part of the relationship is so rare, this song is beautiful

Watching legend live ❤️

This song feels like a soothing balm for a broken heart that never got the apology it deserved. 🥺 Thank you, Abel ❤️ XO ❤️

This song is like a convincing letter to the girl from birds pt 1 and 2

Can we talk about how he’s literally holding back t e a r s at roughly 2:56 - 3:00? I can literally feel ever single emotion he is and it hurts god damn it

He is INCREDIBLE , absolutely love his voice, his songs Refreshing to see new, different talent

2:54 wow so amazing

I just wanted to say that Im 35 years old and I havent been this hyped for an album since I used to spend all my money on cd's in the 90's. Pure genious!

It’s like he doesn’t make songs. He literally talks to people who need some inspiration, some love, some courage. I love you Abel ♥️

Hea an artist in the truest sense of the word. Such a talented and gifted artist. God has blessed this man.

His voice touched my soul... I have tears in my eyes and, in German we say „Gänsehaut“. Love him sooooooooo much ❤️♥️❤️♥️❤️♥️❤️♥️❤️

The Weeknd doesn’t need autotune Autotune needs The Weeknd. Only applauses 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

This is why is he's a legend because no one can sing like this anymore facts. Well done Abel.

The Weeknd поёт очень легко и проникновенно. Он единственный иностранный певец современности, крайние 10 лет, чьё творчество вызывает у меня к нему уважение и почтение. Поёт душой, растворяется в своей песне и музыке, и мы вместе с ним. Он не кривляется, не занимаясь позёрством на сцене, он просто хорошо поёт и радует зрителей, слушателей. Браво!

I love how Oneohtrix point never is just vibing playing the piano

That "I Hope You Know That" refrain is either homage to Elton John's "Your Song". "I Hope You Don't Mind" or subconsciously an inspiration behind it. That makes me like it that much more.
