Once you become a weeknd fan , none of other artist's music makes the impact like his music does.

Aloe Blacc does. Anthony Hamilton does. Krizz Kaliko does. The song Human by Rittz is a great goose bumps song. Can't list 'em all, but there are other artists out there with similar abilities. You just have to look for 'em.

I moved up to Alaska about a year ago. One night I was driving up north, with this song playing. Suddenly I saw the Northern Lights bright as hell.. I stopped the car, turned up the radio all the way, turned off the lights and layed on the hood of my car.. The feeling that gave me, the way this song enhanced that moment was something I have never felt before. It was like I was in a different world... It truly was amazing.

@thatoneguyfaded3 роки тому
This song could make even a grown man cry. Especially with the visuals. The man in the beginning of the video is King Selassie, who ran Ethiopa until a military coup killed him and his cabinet, proceeding to instill Marxism in his absence during that period in Ethiopia (True Story). According to pics around the 1:40 mark, it seems in this story that Abel is related to King Selassie, who was a great man wronged by the people he trusted. If we assume Selassie is Abel's father in the video, than Abel and his father's coffin then get abducted by a ruler (Queen) in space (assuming it is due to his bloodline). The woman he is with (his wife), cheats on him, as shown by (presumably) some council member (Military coup reference). But this time, Abel exacts revenge when he slays (has sex with) the women (slaves) with his bodyguards (friends) to get back at the Queen (now wife). She than gets envious and angry despite her own cheating. She than splits the world in two (ending their relationship), and out of spite sends 2 other women (friends) to do more damage (Second attempt at a coup). The two women arrive and take out his bodyguards before they suck the heart from Abel so they can deliver it back to the Queen so that she can destroy it. It's at this point we see that Abel's heart is too pure, just like his father King Selassie (who was a man of peace). Abel succeeded where his father had been wronged (by avoiding the coup that ruined everything). That is why he turns into his father at the end, because not only did Abel persevere, but he also did so in the name of King Selassie as well. In both scenarios, Abel and his father (in the story) end up standing over the people who wronged them; as they were both unbreakable and unshaken. Good people always get the last laugh, though it may be hard.

+Varton Sarkissian I really, REALLY don't like BBTM because to me it sounds like he's trying to be something he's not. Like he sounds really fake for most of the tracks for me. Of course, Often, The Hills, and Can't Feel My Face are all quite good but they don't mean as much to me like almost every song from Trilogy and Kiss Land does. But I understand why other people like it. I just don't like to hear The Weeknd making happy-ish music. Fuck that he needs to constantly be depressed!
@DarkKnightTenshi7 років тому
Idk, I like the transition from depressed to somewhat happy. Plus, I'm a huge Prince fan, so I'm down to hear him use those pop and rock inspirations. I will say this though, BBTM didn't really have a cohesive style or theme. Either way, I thought it popped. To each their own I guess
@caniellebigot37477 років тому
in my opinion...and this is coming from a person who has been listening to the Weeknd for a while...(since 2011) I believe that bbtm reflected the very best of Abel's abilities. He was coming out of his shell. I believe it told just as much of a story as trilogy and kiss land had. I don't think it is a "sell out album" (best way I can explain) , but just another part of him that he expressed through it Not even so much a different part. Everyone and every artist has layers. His vocals still were gold and his beats magic and it still was his sound.

I think that the weeknd is a fucking genius. he made this video. he formed these lyrics. In the hope that we will discuss it's meaning. he didn't want it to be blatant. he didn't want it to be simple. because that's not what life is. life is not simple. Life is not always obvious. With people taking that into consideration. I hope that the music industry changes. I hope it moves in the direction of people trying to think about what they're listening too. Music can make people smarter. Think faster, act quicker, feel euphoria, overcome adversity. But with the current mainstream music. it only degrades woman, makes people unintelligent and think less. Props to the weeknd. you've got my ear.

The Weeknd is a great artist who happens to be habesha (Ethiopian) just like me. And I think it's wonderful that he remembers where he is from and that he is demolishing all these stereotypes about not only Ethiopians, but Africans in general. He's also doing something that no one has seen before and that's what makes him so great. Keep on doing what you're doing man.

In the distant future the year 16311(666) Abel (The Weeknd) (Depicted as a reincarnation, descendant or genetic recreation of Haile Selassie) is the world leader after Ethiopia became the planets super power and he was given power by aliens (Annunaki?). (Arc of the Covenant which is still rumored to nest in Ethiopia). He is betrayed by an un-loyal woman (Who sold her body and soul to the devil for wisdom and power) (Or chose to be the flesh rather than the spirit as the entity was also half man half beast) and as a painful revenge turns his body guards on her to do as they please (To her and her two clones?). The woman’s scorn divides the planet into two placing them worlds apart 233km (666). (Ancient text and theory mention things like this happening claiming the summit of Mt. Kilimanjaro was connected to another planet of sorts) Vengeful and seeking to destroy him she sends assassins to take his heart and once again remove Selassie from power. After successfully stealing his heart, the Annunaki return and revive him so that he may retrieve what is his and continue to be the king to the people that he is. Now depicted as a Christ like figure even the animals submit to him. (Selassie was said to ride a lion as a child) His heart was strong and only knew love, thus it was stronger than the woman’s scorn and hatred. After the woman’s numerous failed attempts at destroying Abel’s heart he arrives on her planet to retrieve his heart while weeping for her as Selassie is said to weep for his people. The video goes much deeper and has much more symbolism but that is it in a nut shell. Side Notes: Some symbolism that may get overlooked. •A Centaur is a symbol of the enlightened, those who are aware of the true self. (Those who know everything) •The Arc of the Covenant is a symbol of ultimate power. The one who controls it controls all. •Selassie is the embodiment of a black king, and viewed by many as a Christ •Owl’s represent wisdom (not evil) •Horns represent the devil. •666 is NOT an number of evil, rather reference to melanin (carbon) which consists of 6 protons 6 neutrons and 6 electrons. (Melanin frequently viewed as a powerful substance in metaphysical teachings) •When separated his phallus fell and her valley’s blew baron and cold •The seal over the mouth represent silence being broken, now he’s telling what he knows. “He knows everything” •A few hints at what roll Caucasians played in this story, when the seal over their mouth was broken people we murdered. •Three glowing rings on his hand represent the Holy Trinity. (Haile Selassie means “Power of the Trinity”) •More obvious are references to the lion of Juda •A brief clip of an assassins knife passing by as the temple crumbles indicates a set up of sorts This video deserves a university case study.

He is royalty my friend. Just gotta follow the rabbit hole. They migrated from Ethiopia soon after the dethroning of the emperor. Strange as it seems, he told us himself at the beginning of the track. "bring me the dead emperor" and he pops by the cross ,next to the arc of the covenant,(which i believe is a sort of tomb or chamber) up as if he is either a descendant or a reincarnation. Ethiopians are the real hebrew peoples. Not these melaninless phonies we call isrealites now a days.

She thought I didn't know, but when daily routines and behaviors change, that's the tell-tale sign. She had his child. That brought tears to my eyes. So yeah, I hurt, even though I put up the semblance of joy and happiness. Best song on this album, out of the entire trilogy for me.

It's wild to see the decline. In the western world designer items are status symbols. To a certain group, luckily we've met them work with them in the diaspora, physical activity all sorts are reserved for the wealthy. I wouldn't smile too much when you meet these people, you might lose alot of weight because eating is a symbol of wealth not just specialty foods or healthy. I like the concept because I'd send the worse among this. If your there for tourism and things don't work out, I'm not calling the U.N. You algorithms there through natural means. 😊 If not somebody knew waaaayyyyyy too much! 😊

In the first of the video you can listen there is Amharic(the common language spoken in Ethopia) And the past president haile selassie being arrested and the the heart being throwed to the lions. I think this video is one of the most beautiful thing i ever seen and its way far for us to understand it. the weeknd is one of the kind singer and he is so underrated cause most of the people can't understand how deep this guy is.

Conor Rick There is a great deal of occult symbolism in the video. I'm surprised no mention of the horned being in there who is Moloch, also symbolized by the owl you see showing up everywhere like the dollar bill, Will I Am videos, etc etc lol.. you see he's blinded or veiled as that symbolism is replete elsewhere, visits with 'aliens,' who should not be differentiated from Moloch or the other angels/angels - this brings up the image of Moloch shooting beams into the the divine femine (do not mistake the woman in the video for a human woman, we're talking about archetypal energies, and obviously female pertains to all animals/plants/etc), creating a certain geometry I can't recall the name of, but right angles of course. The inception of female menstruation, an act of her anger towards the divine masculine in retaliation for what he'd done when the world shifted from Lemuria (female ruled society) to Atlantis (male ruled society: obviously we are still in the age of Atlantis and America is the new Atlantis). Before then humans were androgynous and male/female were not separate, but now we get the vesica, separation, also synonymous with the reptilian Icke is talking about. Hardly about a break up lol although the metaphor obviously works on a more superficial level. You see the male/fire energy burning out, his obelisk/phallus/kundalini broken (inception of god - ask Muslims, they know their god is a fire god.. even tho christians worship the the same, they are mostly ignorant to this), then you see the water-baring females turning cold & icy, barren womb, brithing weak children (isis/$). Frustration, bottling, stagnation of emotions that are psychic blockages and an inversion/darkening of our life force in the faces of these people. The bovids shooting off into space lol(?) not sure on why they're taking off, possibly referring to mother government/mother church cutting humans from the original mother=Earth.. seems that imagery is supported by the very next image of beings landing looking like some occult types in the portrait. I can guarantee he did not orchestrate the symbolic storyline for this video on his own and that there was oversight by his handlers. He 'knows everything,' (at least he thinks it must be everything, cuz it's obviously more than most have any idea about) and he's not about to spell it out for anyone who isn't already in the know like myself who can watch subliminal programming like this and decode. 'The Weeknd,' is not an admirable character, he is weakened and will infect his listeners with his ailment no doubt.. nice voice and I do injoy his fondness for spacey/heavily reverbed beats and vocals, but what a waste.

The mother land, Africa. Only those with roots to the motherland have “The Knowing”. This melody (and many others through time) tricks you into believing you know everything. He who knew everything knew he knew nothing at all. The truth is only revealed in death. Create your reality, Love your truth. Even if in the end it’s all a lie.
