[@kalanferguson]

The Weeknd will forever be my favorite artist. Dawn FM was amazing. Pure Gold.

[@daniel-eason]

Couldn't agree more Kalan 🙏🏽

[@erickavalos6414]

I feel like the song sacrifice is more of a confession of not wanting to be tied down cause he likes his time and his independence. Its a battle between wanting love but loving his independence and freedom.

[@jezabeltokio]

This!!! As someone who goes through this myself I feel sacrifice is 100% about that

[@iamhexoronii]

That’s what he said lol but just adding that is part of the loop he is , and he accepts that mindset

[@tauruio3150]

This video kinda showed me a different perspective on life. One main thing is learning to accept yourself all of your traits. also try to improve yourself no matter how hard it is. And don't never stop trying to change for the good. I relate because I had a lust addiction that stems from childhood so I can relate. But over the past few years Ive been learning how to love. And listening to the weeknd all these years helped me with realizing certain things about me. Just wanna say thanks bro for making this I just reacted to this btw as well.

[@daniel-eason]

Caught your premiere but I was on a 6 hr car ride back home. I'm checking out the whole things first thing in the morning 🙏🏽 Glad you enjoyed! Thank you

[@Q_XO]

This Album is a Masterpiece it’s a shame that thing album isn’t everywhere on the charts I hope one day the media will listen to this album again and like it For my first listen it felt off but after like my 5th or so listen I was like oh this album is good then the 10th wow this album is amazing etc is album is out of this world people just need to listen to it and it wasn’t just me who felt off at the first listen I’ve been Aton if people who are Weeknd fans say yea I didn’t stick with me the first listen but after 5 time or so I liked it and it amazing

[@daniel-eason]

That's what's so great about him, is that he makes music being an artist instead of a sellout

I literally started to listen to Dawn FM after being hooked to an "Is there somewhere else" clip in a Nathan Zed video and after listening to the entire album in its entirety, i have been playing it non stop, i love this album so much and just to see such a intricate video like this being recommended to me just a day later makes this so much better. Thank you Daniel! Keep it up!

[@kassie7545]

This album was legit BEAUTIFUL! The transitions, the theme, the story telling. It was just art ! And I love the way you broke everything down, it made it so understandable the way his love roller coaster has been :(

[@cindymontreal9513]

only people with an opened sixth eye can truly understand and love the weeknd..I fell in love with all his art I cant say this about any other artist..Hes unique legend masterpiece futuristic and has a beautiful soul..My respects to Abel..❤️❤️

[@Diagonnadie]

Dawn FM came out in the midst of the breakup with the woman I love. She cheated on me and still holds on to me all the same telling me things like a part of hers will always be mine and other mushy shit though she insists she doesn't love me the same way anymore. Dawn FM literally carried my ass through the first couple of weeks of this break. This album is fucking golden. I shill it out to anyone I can. It's honestly so god awfully beautiful and well made

[@daniel-eason]

I had the exact opposite experience with this album. I had gone on vacation with a woman I was interested in and the album grew on the both of us that way. To this day I still listen to it. Sorry to hear about your experience.. but at least we can both agree that our shared experiences made the music special to us 🙏🏽

[@C4pitalswank]

Do not give her the time of day she doesnt respect you and thus i would advise you to move on and cancel all communication, take some time off dating like finding new hobbies or rediscovering old ones, eventually youll find someone who will respect you and wont cheat on you or lose feelings, just be sure of your value, no matter what anyone says, youre a king and must find and conquer your purpose, dont let these hoes get you down man.

[@juliannavarro7833]

[@_lessthanzero_]

Such a well made video, continue with these as the weeknd continues with his new trilogy era. Dawn FM is just a transition between After hours and After life. Dawn fm is by nature made for being underrated. Just like kissland was between trilogy and BBTM.

[@daniel-eason]

Supernova gets it 🔥

[@ObviouslyDeleted]

KissLand wasn’t between Trilogy and BBTM, Trilogy was just his 3 mixtapes bundled together. Trilogy was more of a summarization of his career thus far than an actual project, plus Kissland was definitely its own thing. Kissland wasn’t a sequel or transition piece to anything.

[@_lessthanzero_]

@@ObviouslyDeleted i know g, there is no relation in between 3 of those. But trilogy was a underground project, kissland was his first mainstream project with underground touch to it and in bbtm he went all out. Just gave a analogy of that 3 with the on going trilogy

Much appreciated Logan, I'd love to crank these videos out but they're catered to slowly. Glad you found enjoyment in those moments ❤️‍🔥

[@maxipad27]

The Weeknd is just incredible. Other artists on his popularity level don’t put this much work into their music. A lot of them just force out music for streams, but he puts his all into his work. He has absolutely deserved to be number 1 in the world.

[@ashleyliberus8534]

I feel the “Old Abel” vs “Young Abel” in the album represents the time that he’s been in “Purgatory” as to finding out how to break his cycle. Yes there’s the belief that when you enter Purgatory your soul isn’t at peace because of the sinful things you regret in your past life. Purgatory is a version of Hell where you have to work out the demons that brought you there; in Abel’s case relationships and the fast life. It can take years to overcome the struggles that sent you there in the first place causing you to “Age.” So I do believe “Old Abel” is the version we see as the person that knows the answer to all of his suffering and finally wants peace, while “Young Abel” is struggling to understand what the answer to his peace is. Yes these sinful regrets, they will keep you from heaven but they’re aren’t as evil enough to condemn your soul to Hell. Until he figures that out and breaks the cycle, he will be released from his Hell Loop and finally come to peace and clarity .

[@daniel-eason]

[@ducki1970]

Technically and visually stunning.

[@hanvaniq6545]

Every album Abel makes hits, it's such a beatiful album🔥

[@daniel-eason]

FACTS

[@LynetteTheMadScientist]

I think the crucial piece that Abel is missing is Commitment. In all his relationships it seems either one or both parties was unwilling to commit. Commitment is the most important aspect of a romantic relationship. Both parties must choose to put their partners needs above their own and this choice must be made continually. Something that Hollywood has long forgotten is that love is not primarily a feeling but rather, a choice. To love someone is to choose over and over again to commit yourself to them until the end of your days. Love is a mutual act of service.

[@kabbyhearts]

I love the weeknd! When I say this album is absolutely my favorite album by him! Like I thought trilogy was amazing, specifically house of balloons. But then he dropped this album and my goodness!!! I love this album!

[@aryanjohnsharma]

I keep rewatching this video, Sir Daniel has Narrated this whole video so well 😖

[@daniel-eason]

❤️‍🔥

[@filenotfound_2416]

I love that the album is a direct continuation of After Hours. Abel hasn’t done that since the mixtapes, but even then, he wasn’t necessarily trying to tell a cohesive narrative like he is now. After Hours is still imo his best album and his best era, but Dawn FM is a beautiful and exciting continuation of the Man in the Red Suit’s night of debauchery bleeding into the Dawn. (And Jim Carey is absolutely excellent on this album, might I add.)

[@onimorede]

'here we go....again' has the exact theme from Tyler's album, so the feature makes sense

[@ItsLarry-in1jq]

I really relate to this story honestly, with After Hours and Dawn FM. Of course, not to the same extreme whatsoever, but I feel like if you just dial it down a lot, that it really is how my life has been as of recently. Through phases of making dumb mistakes, but always having this sort of self awareness, and realizing my issues and wanting to pull away from them, but having the task being easier said than done, and through that, having very similar feeling about all the chaos and many similar points of view. I think this also shows just how much of us are going through the same things, or at least struggles that we try to get away from but just can't seem to ever be able to, and being scared that the loop will never end. It's a beautiful artistic way of putting the potential struggles that we go through in life, and how no matter how it feels, that we are not alone. And that even though it seems like forever, that it will get better. And all that stuff. And no one could put it in any better way than The Weeknd does

[@RandomGuy-ef5lh]

Literally second best Weeknd project oat behind the greatest mixtape ever in house of balloons. Fight me.

[@Isaac-ul8yz]

This albums is actually so fucking good. Like it really is his death from all the previous albums. And he knows it, he knows the dark twisted man in the past is about to die and had it all on this album. The numbers this album has done don’t speak for how truly amazing the work of art is.

Before it's released, I'm expecting something like After Hours and some Unreleased stuff. So I'm little disapointed until Out Of Time and Less Than Zero was played, It's like this time he put us to a stress-released state (a connect from last part of AH). Maybe it's time for XO to get out of the toxic relationships, the bad behaviors, the addiction, self-destructive , a crazy wolrd that he used to get involved...
