The Weeknd "Dancing In The Flames" | Reaction

[@knightcrawler64]

You should definitely check out the live and acoustic versions of Dancing in the Flames. Those versions I feel like has more heart and is more raw than the officially released version.

[@vassyvg6534]

100% !

[@tanmayjhaXO]

So true

[@ceoofmanwha3279]

facts they sound so better than the studio version

[@KonstantinosAnagnostopoulo-r3t]

Acoustic is ethereal, heavenly!

[@raghudurina2354]

One of the best pop songs he’s ever made. His vocals are incredible, the production is immaculate, and the lyrics are catchy. And diving deeper knowing the context, the lyrics are great. How he’s talking about a woman and god. And keeping it perfectly ambiguous between the two.

[@dannymartial7997]

The Weeknd, especially recently, needs to be experienced as a whole album. After Hours, Dawn FM, and soon, Hurry Up Tomorrow are made to be played from cover to cover. But I understand if that’s not plausible for a reaction channel

[@JustBriannaYT]

They do cover to cover reviews

[@Shauryaizm]

i have a feeling dancing in the flames will go bonkers like blinding lights

[@youritje4]

Don't think so it's not that great off a song or a very new sound from him and i love The Weeknd

[@KingJadInfiniteHope]

@@youritje4horrendous take, this is an amazing song.

[@leeregno]

Dude play him trilogy. Thats the best way to get someone into the weeknd. You can move from there to kissland and beyond

[@Liighar]

Dawn FM and After Hours are a must listen!!

[@Oasisrealtygroup]

I love the way you look at your dad

[@iheardmyhappinessgotyoumad3571]

Everyone should know about The Weeknd. Very talented artist.

[@100000zombies]

Pops became a fan instantly 😂😂 I love it

[@rubyrock555]

Immediately went to my driving playlist

[@campowell1796]

I rarely comment on youtube videos but ive spent the last 3.5 hours watching your videos. Its 3 am and i have work in the morning but I just cant stop watching. Ive seen your channel for a few years and caught a video or two here and there and always loved your relationshop and depth at which you guys dissect things. When it comes to the weekend, I actually started listening to him heavily a few years ago and what i appreciate most about him is not only his exceptional vocal talent but the extremely high level production and mixing. Both are things i know you guys appreciate. I would suggest listening to to die for you, hardest to love, Out of time, or scared to live as far as singles. But if you can, i strongly suggest listening to After hours as a complete project nonstop, specifically because of the way the tracks are mixed together it sounds heavenly. Specifically hardest to love> scared to live>snowchild. Another thing to note is that the weekend releases albums in trillogies that together tell a cohesive story and this coming album will be the final installment on his most recent trilogy containing After hours/ dawn FM and hurry up tomorrow. Also, the live version of this song is arguably bettee than the sudio production. This was way longer than i interned but keep up the great videos 😂🙌🏾👌🏽 9:36 9:36

[@KonstantinosAnagnostopoulo-r3t]

After Hours to Dawn FM is the ideal way to prep your dad for the new project. I’m sure the fandom would love to watch a fresh reaction to those two after a long time. Great job! 🙌🏻

[@nathanthemovieguy5429]

For contrast, playing for your dad Blinding Lights and then The Hills would be fun. Very different sounds and different tempos.

[@AldoMiaVinnie]

Live version is impeccable!

[@unshackledkaiju]

Make him listen to D.D. by The Weeknd its the perfect song to make your dad like his music more. And don't tell him it's a cover😂

[@nourah676]

they actually reacted to it

[@yorkvileviahuanari7976]

Your dad must to react After hours album then Dawn FM!!! Before hurry up tomorrow goes out!!!

[@Jovoslime]

King of the fall need a reaction to that!

[@vlonethug4236]

After Hours reaction is a MUST!!!!

[@yuh-fv7ds]

It’s tricky to understand/appreciate The Weeknd off of one or even a handful of songs because his projects (especially his trilogies) do a lot of storytelling and world-building. They excel within the context of the whole project. At the very least, it would help to listen to the AH and DFM albums in their entirety (first two in the ongoing trilogy). Although I cannot recommend his original Trilogy mixtapes from the early 2010s enough.

[@Official_Zeusifer]

This song is a story of his new trilogy thats why every verse I think end in Odyssey and the final odyssey as the final album for Weeknd character.

[@Oasisrealtygroup]

I lost my dad 8/13/2020. You’re relationship makes me smile

[@Flipx82]

Would love to see you guys react to all his albums leading up to the new release

[@Veronica0598]

Please play Take my breath or Sacrifice for him next. I think the 80's Synth-pop influence would definitely be enjoyable! xx

[@bryan11981]

The Weeknd, Bruno Mars and Usher collaboration would kill social media.

[@shrekgonzalez4558]

Usher? Yeah stop.

[@Grt1n]

Blinding lights became a mega hit by accident I think, this one is very catchy and maybe better than BL but I don’t think it’ll beat BL. I like the synths and 80s sound even outside of his music so this continued sound doesn’t bother me but I do hope the album has some different sounds on it.

[@EyobAtn]

Pops should listen to After Hours at least, if y'all are going to react to the new album!!

[@xoc]

you should react to after hours, then dawn fm and when hurry up tomorrow drops yall will be ready

[@myrelluhhh]

get lost in the weeknd rabbit hole pls 🥲

[@Rblock777]

You could show your dad Rich Homie Quan. R.I.P

[@SayuriBlossoms]

still waiting on the maxwell video lol so ready to see it

[@emilioollivierre7485]

I think dad will like out of time or I feel it coming by the Weeknd.

[@yPlutoooo]

you guys should do the acoustic version he did yesterday its mad good

[@nourah676]

Please listen to the trilogy of this before the album drops bc it’s the final chapter of the trilogy

[@havensdarkness2142]

Do a Weeknd (After Hour) Rection.

[@hskrnrs8128]

Why don't you introduce your dad to The Weeknd with an album? Start with House of Balloons and keep going! The Weeknd's too good for your dad not to know The Weeknd!!

[@SA-lb1mj]

Please react to ‘we can’t be friends’ by Ariana! It’s a very similar sound to this song so I think you guys will absolutely love it!!!

[@bigmini2870]

Definitely react to After Hours as a whole album, then Dawn FM, then Hurry Up Tomorrow when it comes out fully

[@Distantvoyager0011]

Have you ever cpnsidered reacting on songs from Africa ? I really love everything about your channel 😍😍 keep going

pleaseee react to the live version of the song it’s soo much better 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

[@HaroonAbyss]

Guys, do the FAITH trilogy! 3 albums, 2 released (After Hours and Dawn fm), 1 coming soon (hurry up tomorrow).

[@studiokiller5960]

It's ironic to accuse Dua Lipa of sonic overuse when The Weeknd seems to follow a more repetitive formula. Although Dua Lipa has evolved in terms of visual style and some musical arrangements, The Weeknd seems to be reproducing the same recipe since the album 'After Hours'

[@evilsauce4234]

My only issue is it’s very chorus heavy, don’t get me wrong the chorus is amazing but longer verses would add so much substance to the song

[@midomb1750]

I agree

[@amalleswararao5051]

yea this song might go berserk fr

[@badassbalak]

react to the whole after hours and dawn fm before the last album of new trilogy

[@hendryherrera7781]

dude react to mk.gee - Two Star & the Dream Police (you and your dad will LOVE it) love you guys!!! and if not the whole album just try Alesis by mk.gee

Can you please add to your list an all female rock band from Japan called *BAND-MAID* and the song *Alone* if you like the pop / punk genre. Thanks!

[@Jack008-z9b]

OMG never heard of band-maid and just check out that alone video so pop punk just loved that genre 7 million views and I never heard of this band thank you 😍

[@yuh-fv7ds]

I’m curious at what point Apple got involved. Bc there’s no way Apple is making a typical Weeknd music video and playing it at the iPhone launch. Weeknd songs/videos are typically some level of provocative and even subversive. This one is 100% Apple-friendly and inoffensive. And to be clear, provocation is NOT necessary for a great song/video. But this feels like a relatively “safe” “radio hit” kinda song by Abel’s standards. Which is fine. I enjoyed it. But I think he’s at his best when he’s pushing the boundaries, lyrically and musically. Hopefully, the album will still do that - the leaks for other songs confirm that it definitely won’t just be 80s dance pop. I felt the same way about Blinding Lights, but then the album dropped, and within the context of the album - especially after Faith - the meaning of the song is transformed.

[@angie-jo1mn]

You said it. The video was shot on iPhone 16, and the song was purposely made to be radio. Pop friendly, and my opinion is Abel did this collab intentionally. Apple Music has been paying this man millions of dollars on his trending music for years the least Abel could do for them is to promote their new Iphone 16 and have his newest music video shot with the new phone😅

@@brainfragrances that’s how his singles usually are tho which makes sense. The album itself will have songs that are more deep and meaningful fs.

I dislike this song. It's everything about The Weeknd that I don't like. I'm a huge Weeknd fan but I cant stand this "I'm an 80's pop singer now" that he's gone to so heavily. I much prefer the Trilogy Weeknd. But like nearly all R&B guy, they end up doing dance style music because it makes more money.

If u want trilogy go listen to that. My dear melancholy exists as well and after hours also has darker songs lmao.

@@pranav.m.warrier7407 its just become more basic. This even more than last album. Instead of 80s pop, this is more 90's/00's dance/pop. He has a great voice and makes great music, but it's become more and more generic
