so I hope you don’t think this song is about you

[@hokayso4530]

these sessions are so shrouded in mystery. It feels like It never happened, like its demos that leaked rather than sessions. It feels like I wasn’t meant to hear it, and it’s beautiful.

That era of abel still give me chills

[@stephaniemartins5881]

Abel is not HONESTLY the king of anything, certainly NOT The Weeknd. The composer creator producer and singer of The Weeknd is André Martins Fachada and he belongs to me, his wife, who has fought to have his name and age and genius known to the world to which Abel belongs.

Overtures of impending disaster . Maybe it's time for a lifestyle change . Prince and Michael and Whitney. The music is better knowing he is young and still alive and not another wasted and lost talent. Let's hope not cause we should learn from the mistakes of others and recognise we are not invincible .

[@rlittlejohn2772]

Id rather shine bright as the sun than a fleeting falling star. So go the distance weekend.

[@wakeupmrye6908]

''Since 2012'' Yeah that's what everyone says lol, gatekeepres are a different breed

[@katevielle4263]

The Zone is lyrically insane. When I first heard it and the context of him being with some other girl whilst having sex, keeping his eyes shut to feel the one he loves instead. Man.. bananas. Gets me everytime. Love u XO

[@user-ob4yt6cf7b]

His lyricism on Thursday until kiss land is quite underrated.

[@Melissa-rb6ct]

[@lucidmind9676]

Valerie, Twenty Eight, and Til Dawn (Here Comes The Sun) basically all the bonus Trilogy Tracks are underrated masterpieces and my personal favorite Weeknd songs. I’ve been a fan since 2012 and I’m happy to see how big he’s gotten since those days of obscurity but part of me is happy that those three tracks are still under the radar… makes it kinda like us core fan’s little secret just like how Kiss Land is still for us core fans to enjoy while the mainstream fans eat up his new pop style

[@fmzca]

If you were here back then it can only make you so happy that he just performed at the f*cking Super Bowl

[@theplusbabe1990]

Every time I listen to this version of "Valerie" I literally cry in despair and of beautiful passion for some reason.. I miss this side of him so much.

[@bridgetekanberian7989]

he’s amazing and his new music is too but nothing compares to this era of his.

[@andyandroseadventure]

no other sound has touched melancholy souls as much as his does...

[@Little_gohre1970]

His life story is truly amazing and inspiring. The challenges he faced and over came. He quickly climbed the ranks and went from broke and homeless to being one of the top celebraties with a net worth $98 million+

This has nothing to do with the industry. When you chill in ritz hotels with millions on your bank account you just can‘t drop the same music as back in the street days, to take abel as example.
