Lyrics:
I used to pray when I was sixteen
If I didn’t make it then I’d probably make my wrist bleed
Not to mislead turn my nightmares into big dreams
Whole squad mobbin even though we only six deep
I was singing notes while my niggas played with six keys
Walking in the snow before I ever made my wrist freeze
I was blowing smoke had me dizzy like Gillespie
Niggas had no homes we were living in the dead streets
You couldn’t find me like I’m Hoffa
Cover girls jumping out the page like they pop ups
Spending all my money on these niggas that I brought up
Taking care of families for my brothers when they are locked up
And I had nothing to believe in
Double cup leanin
Couldn’t even breathe and
For that money I was fiending
Cali was the mission but now a nigga leaving
Leaving, leaving into the night
Now a nigga leaving, leaving
leaving into the night oh
She like my futuristic sounds in the new spaceship
Futuristic sex give her Phillip K dick
She never need a man, she what a man need
So I could keep on falling for her daily
We was at Coachella going brazy
Stack a couple M’s like I was shady
Now I’m in Tribeca like I’m Jay-Z
Rockin Sorayama like he pay me
I just signed a new deal with Mercedes
Got me movin dirty like I’m Swayze
All my diamonds dancing like they Swayze
All my diamonds hitting like they Swae Lee
Jet so big got a business and a coach
I was always on the road rockin Louis a la mode nigga
And for that money I was fiending
Cali was the mission but now a nigga leaving
Leaving, leaving into the night
Now a nigga leaving, leaving
leaving into the night oh
20 mill mansion never lived in
Zero edge pool never dipped in it
Superstar neighbor in my business
Paparazzi tryna catch me sleepin and
Going on tour is my vacation
Every month another accusation
Only thing I’m phobic of is failing
I was never blessed with any patience
So a nigga leaving, leaving into the night
Now a nigga leaving, leaving
leaving into the night oh

Animator: How much nostalgia do you wanna give the audience? Abel: Yes
What does it mean bro?
I wrote a song by my heart!! Hope anyone hear my music and help me to become like *Weeknd*
Dream big bro :) I did and won :) kzhead.info/sun/iZlmk5RunaGnhn0/bejne.html
@@Nic-wf9pj nostalgia is something that reminds you of back in the day or makes you reminisce to s certain time period
you got that one damn right! :)))))))
The fact that he tells his story like a movie and kept us to be more interested to look our life through him makes him one of the greatest artist ever
so true
Interested*
Same as MJ
I can't believe you think this is a great quality song
He tells the story but did yall get the messege?
HOW DID HE NOT WIN MULTIPLE GRAMMIES FOR THIS MASTERPIECE OF AN ALBUM?!??!!?!
lol @ the grammies
What happen if japan release anime series on weeknd
You mean Scammy
As ruff criminal would say the Grammys are racist
Faccs the grammys get donkey of the decade for that.
the most underrated song of the TheWeeknd so far 🦋
Wow underrated means 18 million right?
@@eddrianlima compared to his other hits 💁🏿
@JAVIER SANABIA hmmmm
Nope
Wtffffffffff
Abel is the only one who could summarize his entire career in 4 minutes
Eminem
WOAH WOAH WOAH!!! Let me get this perfectly straight: You comment something that is completely unrelated to the fact that I have two HAZARDOUSLY HOT girlfriends? Considering that I am the unprettiest KZheadr worldwide, it is really incredible. Yet you did not mention it at all. I am VERY disappointed, dear jeus
AxxL No one cares.
I think this is all about missing his hair.
AxxL huh
Imagine a whole anime show about Abel's career with a season representing each album and it looks like this. And he has the powers from the Starboy Marvel comics. That would slap so hard on Netflix.
Facts
OMFG YES
Can we get everyone to like this and copy paste it everywhere pls? Thanka
Nothing but heat and imagine if we had special guest appearances from artists he’s had features or tracks with like Drake, Travis, Future, etc.🔥🔥🔥🔥
D Jaj You need to stop thinking about man ass.
This Song is Deeper than anyone think. Really Feel it right now
Explain plz
Bro if you go to 2:36 he did a form of satan logo
I agree, he wants the fam but now he sees what comes with it, but as you can see, hes fully trapped and cant get out. Hes fully a puppet
@@1998thewisethat’s not completely it
Snowchild is a montage of The Weeknd's life through all his albums. It starts with After hours Abel "tripping down the memory lane" at 0:09 . House of Balloons era. The city of Toronto is cold and lonely as the only people in the city we can see are him and his friends. He is very sad in his house of balloons and we can see in 0:39 his life is "upside down" but is "turning around." Kissland era: He is in Japan and things went from colorless to colorful. He's got fame and money but is still hollow from the inside. He uses alcohol, drugs and sex to cope and meets the muse from kissland along the way who just "drags him down" at 1:07 . Beauty Behind the Madness: At 1:17 the elevator has odd numbers only and the dial going backwards could mean he is just falling more and more in odd ways. At 1:26 we see people who have "lost their heads" and are "stuck in Hollywood " until they "disappear/die." He meets the devil here as in BBtm. Starboy era: 1:45 his house is dark but there is light outside. Basically he is in a dark place emotionally. He enters a hidden corner of his house/mind. Here finds women, assuming his love interests, who want to hurt him. He wants to run away but can't. He realizes he fight his inner demons and starts to believe in himself. He literally " double crosses" his demons at 2:36 . This, however, shatters his house/mind. My Dear Melancholy era: He is aimlessly wondering around and fast traveling everywhere. He is "burning money" at 2:58 just to keep himself warm or to feel anything. After Hours era: 3:11 He simply crashes from doing all these and now is all alone or "deserted" in life. Disoriented Abel is glad to be close to Vegas/happiness but it's actually far away. This doesn't stop as he keeps moving on until he reaches Vegas and he's all worn out at 3:55 at this point. But he does all this only to "find himself" completely "Heartless" at 4:07 .
Incredible explanation thanks alot
Woowww crazy how u study each part and detail.. thanks for breaking it down to us🎯🎯
Thy man i thought i was trippin
Underrated comment
were old abel meet young abel,like gasoline
I’m just saying if Abel makes a full on season of an anime about his life I’m there
We all gon wait till Abel : shippuden drops
@@itzdoobzrblx9057 ahh shiii
Whose Abel
@@Ronald-iz8lh ... My guy.
YES
Maybe it's a stretch, but I love how this video connects all the eras together. We see a younger Abel in the Toronto house of balloons before all the fame; Kiss Land Abel gets pulled under by the dark, mysterious world; the depiction of the devil that Abel shot in Tell Your Friends appears before he walks to his Hills house, the changed man that has made a deal for fame; the attention from BBTM follows into the Starboy era where Abel is attacked and ends up going on the run; this flows nicely into MDM with the Call Out My Name video; and finally Abel's bruised, and beaten After Hours self begins, cue the madness of Heartless...
Also, Starboy-Abel with the duel-wielded glowing crosses was lit.
Great observations.
I didn't realize all this is in the video.
THIS. kzhead.info/sun/pZewn76DnGaKZIU/bejne.html
Stretch ? That’s exactly what the video shows for those who know. The only thing I didn’t like is that everything just felt like a short teaser and not at all a fluid music video.
The story of his journey in 4 mins... I respect you Abel.
I feel like this song is really underrated, it's like an interlude from the theme of psychological torment portrayed in the album, I love the sincerity of this song.
Grammys are officially idiotic for not even nominating this
He literally portrayed a bit of his every album. 1. Trilogy: House of balloons 2. Kissland: Belong to the world 3. Beauty Behind the madness: The Hills 4. Starboy: MANIA & Starboy 5: My Dear Melancholy: Call out my name 6. After Hours: Heartless and a title reference to the video itself aka Snowchild.
And I feel it coming with the moon landscape and the stars

@@jaisu9134 Facts
👏🏾👏🏾Amazing
So this is literally evolution of The Weeknd albums in the clip. ▪️ He was living broke in his town. ▪️Then, he released mixtapes *Trilogy* , on 0:35 u can see balloons which is *House of Balloons* apparently. ▪️Then, he went popular and ended up in *Kiss Land* on 0:46. ▪️Then, he went to his mansion in *The hills* on 1:23, and that's *BBTM* (though I'm unsure what these headless suits and the white creepy guy meant). ▪️In the mansion, on 2:02, he fought pantheras with cross swords like the one he had in *Starboy* . ▪️Then, he turned into bats on 2:42 like those in *Call Out My Name* which is *My Dear Melancholy* . ▪️And finally, on 3:07, it brought him in the desert, the same he was in the end of *Until I Bleed Out* clip, which is *After Hours* of all he went through. Duh.
@jeebla keebla yeah. Like others, few years ago seen and liked Starboy. Now, having Kissland and After Hours on repeat :D
The creepy white guy is suppose be a reference to a character that is present in multiple of his music video's from Beauty Behind The Madness. For example go re-watch *Tell Your Friends* and you'll see.
@@CarlosHuiskens oh thanks)
Good observations. And also, OH MY GOD ITS FREEMAN! (Looking forward to seeing more of your videos.)
Dafuq!?Boom! Man I didn’t even realize it was you!? I love your work man
Let's not forget he released this masterpiece on Selena's birthday .
Ikr and after Selena had put this song on her list of the songs she's been listing to
Selena was the straw that broke the camel's back
Keep sel away from abel.. She's evil and abuser
Oh did not know that.

There will never be another artist quite like The Weeknd. He is frequently imitated but never duplicated or replaced

Agreed!
“If they really made me then replace me” Hard pill to swallow for a boy named Drake
because he is Anchient.
kzhead.info/sun/n5mOZMyQa3Wwq6c/bejne.html I DREW WEEKND!!!😊🎨⭐
idk why tf i’m crying. maybe bc seeing each of his albums and how it smoothly transitions to another. it feels... nostalgic and fulfilling? just me?
I feel you he came such a long way, I thought he was gonna be underground forever but he hustled and became mainstream!
Wanya same! i remember when i used to ask people if they knew who The Weeknd was and they had no idea who i was talking about, but now, “oh yeah, starboy!”.
it's kinda like the animated mv for We Are Bulletproof the Eternal b/c it shows Abel through the progression of his music.
first name yes! it reminds me of that music video too!
same here
Huge props to the animators this is amazing
When this came out I was homeless, on drugs, and went to jail. I now have a house, job, and husband. This song and “Clover Cage - Heart Of A City Boy” are the two songs that helped get rid of my depression. I just want to send love to everyone and I want everyone to know things will get better. We are in this together..I love you 💕
This symbolism is crazy 😳 trying to interpret his story makes it even better

It’s sad that everybody is talking about selena and Bella references But don’t understand the depth of the song about Abel telling his story
Actually, there are lots of comments talking about the depth of the song, It’s just that there are several comments about Selena because we recently noticed something that could refer to her. He is the best and everything is fine ❤️
They were evil they were panthers... aka they had motives
Those are the “Earned it” and “Can’t feel my face” fans
True
Who is Abel?😅
One of his best songs ever. If you’re a day 1 The Weeknd fan, you’ll know why
Realest thing since Wicked games 😭

Jojo?
The "I used I pray when I was sixteen if I didn't make it I'd probably make my wrist bleed" hits like home.
Just seen him live for his first show in Vegas since before After Hours and honestly it felt like almost a homecoming.. The opening with that special emphasis on that "Vegas" line in Alone Again, the return of the red jacket, and of course how much he had the stadium JUMPING. I kept thinking to myself just how far this dude's come!! From small beginnings in Toronto, to selling out FOOTBALL stadiums, and of course the Superbowl.. LOVE to see it!! Congrats to him!
This song hits different when you’ve been XO from the start
Completely agree 🎈
Same, been a fan since 2012 after accidentally stumbling on the song "The Zone" on Tumblr when it had no title or artist listed. I just clicked on it because the House of Balloons image looked cool. Little did I know...
Am I’m the only one that feel sadness watching all these eras in the video ?
Coming from “rolling stone”
Yeah and you actually get the first parts
So he’s basically saying he doesn’t want to be famous anymore, and he’s prioritizing what’s real in his life: his lover, his homies and family, his music. He’s leaving into the night, into obscurity. Perhaps this is the end, or the start of another chapter.
A new chapter. He's grown into a man right before our eyes. I love his authentic, raw talent.
He is changing. First time I listened to it I thought the same thing. He is just changing his whole vibe though. Onto better beginnings and focusing on what matters
I think so as well. I think he rather stay humble and never sell out for anything. That's why I love this man.

I'm 14 and this is deeeep
This guy just consistently makes good music and it baffles me, but in a good way. Very rare in today’s time
After all the bangers he's put out and will in future, I'll keep coming back to this.

The “I feel it coming “ is “until I bleed out” in the AH
Right before belong to the world is a twenty eight reference, not a in the night reference; somewhere around 1:01.
True it’s like he is adding it all together
@@a.p.7412 I feel like that part mightve been "the morning" because of the mirage
Its a very insightful glimpse into the struggle with fame and the music industry. It changed his life in many ways. He lost family and friends due to succeeding in the music industry. Each time he changes he encounters a new problem. All the separate albums reflecting how he has changed. The first section shows how hes leaving behind his friends and family. The part where the women turn into panthers could represent how the women hes encountered in his life are vicious animals to him. The section where hes wearing all black could show how cold hes become and shows him burning his money and talking about the "2 million dollar" home he doesnt visit. Its all empty to him now. The money, fame, and material items no longer bring him any joy. The last section he has basically become "heartless" to all of it. Turning to struggles with drugs as a way to escape the pain of his fame. To maybe find meaning in all of the events in his life.

I loved this explanation you made everything so clear thanks
@@vereashchander6478 the deal with, um, the Devil. The deal which a makes you famous, rich and liked. But in exchange of so much fame and money, you have to hand over your soul to the Devil. It means that you will be damned by the Devil for 1000 yrs. You will become his slave. That's how stars become stars. It's not proved, but most stars have given indirect evidences which show they sold their soul. Eg: Bob Dylan, The Weeknd, Beyonce, Poppy, Titanic Sinclair
@@rudrakshisaikia184 what is the evidence that Abel gave?
@@thatsitdone4721 the old man in the video with a scar. He appears in most of his videos in 'Beauty behind the madness'. For eg: Can't feel my face, Tell your friends, The Hills, etc. That git symbolizes Devil. Abel becomes nervous in presence of him and does stuff he himself hates

@@user-lp4fw2ec5qoh really which part does he sell his soul.
It's not real. It's just an artistic statement. Like selling out. And for a while he had sold out and was just making radio ready pop music or trash hip hop features. That's what he meant when he was showing all the sold your soul imagery on things like the call out my name video. He feels like he sold out
@@tadialbert1036 throughout all his music and videos, he talks about selling his soul for fame. I dont believe in that stuff but to each their own

The Grammy's aren't a popularity contest
Awards don't mean anything. You can't take it serious. I decide for myself what is best. This guy is awesome.
Grammys was never about quality, the sooner you realize this the better. Remember when Macklemore won over Kendrick, Drake, Hov and Ye. Shit is never really about the best music. Let it go, let's define success on our own terms
He literally portrayed a bit of his every album. 1. Trilogy: House of balloons & The zone 2. Kissland: Kissland & Belong to the world 3. Beauty Behind the madness: The Hills & Tell Your Friends 4. Starboy: MANIA & Starboy 5: My Dear Melancholy: Call out my name 6. After Hours: Heartless, Until I bleed out and a title reference to the video itself aka Snowchild.
i appreciate this so much
Yesss! I noticed all of that! He is a beast
@Rishin Roy Arts Also the black panther for Pray for me
I would also say 3. References Can't Feel My Face too, that guy in both
That's deep
I love that we all relate to this classic 🧯doesn't matter which session of your life you are in, this here will keep you moving!
After watching his "Gasoline" video where his old self travels back in time to where the present one is in the club, this video says a lot. At the end of this, he ends up seeing his hedonistic self in Vegas about to get into some wild shit , just like Gasoline. He could be trying to save himself from dying in these alternate storylines. From House of Balloons to Starboy he was killing himself to reach new levels, but now he's interconnecting levels where his alternate selves run into each other.
we should appreciate how this video follows basically his entire career until this point

I think the video symbolizes Abel's feelings and life as he goes through his career too. In the opening, he's living in Toronto while hanging out with people who he only sort of fits in with, evidenced by the lack of detail on the faces of the other group members. He releases his first album around the same time and gets popular enough to leave on vacation. While in "Japan", he releases another album and is dragged into corporate Hollywood hell by strippers and drugs. The headless guys in black suits represents how cutthroat the industry is. They got to the top, but are stuck in contracts and have been replaced by the other clones also wearing the same suits. The guy partially represents the CEO's of the big Hollywood record companies, but also is another clone of the previous characters. When he transitions into Abel, it represents that Abel is now becoming one of the leaders in the music industry, but also representsthat Abel will soon be trapped just like the others (Note how each "person" in that scene is wearing the same outfit). Abel moves into a mansion as a result of signing his contract, and releases Starboy. This is when the Panthers, who represent his love life and his friends who are leaving him and/or attacking him for his money, (symbolized by the fact that they look like friendly women, then become pouncing predators) appear and are defeated by Abel (he's moved on). However, the glass, which represents his mental state, shatters, leaving him alone and trying to rebuild with a bunch of money yet no mental strength. When he burns the money in a barrel, it represents Abel throwing money away in an attempt to be happy again, yet in reality he's just wasting it for a few moments of light (essentially spending a bunch on drugs in order to be happy). He hits rock bottom in the desert, but sees Toronto in the distance. He thinks he is headed home and starts walking in hope that he can get back to his normal life. However, the landscape shifts to Vegas, showing that Abel is trapped in Hollywood like the headless guys before. He can't escape unless he takes a bunch of drugs to make things glamorous.
Beautiful analysis bro
Very nice bravo
Wow just wow... I like your mind
yees
Wow you’re good. Props to this guy(or girl). Great analysis. Wish I was that smart lol
Beautiful
well selena added this song to her public playlist and he just released an official video to this song on her bday? god i ship them so harddddddddd
i want them to be together
please why would you want Abel to go back with someone who used him and was pinning away for her ex all along.
@@thoughtsofwisdom1223 you are right but we don't know everything about their relationship. Selena actually looked like she was in love with him at the beginning. Of course I don't approve the things she did, if it is really like what media serves.
Y'all act like Abel and Selena told you everything It's their life Y'all move on

Yo this is everything from kissland, trilogy, starboy, my dear melancholy and even the black panther soundtrack.

No se ustedes, para mi se escucha triste😪
I keep coming back to this video because it has such artistic relation in my head to another of my favorite Weeknd videos The Knowing and brings me nostalgia to that period of his music. Also because it captures his growth as a person and artist and reminds me of how I've grown as well since I was that 18 year old kid finding him as a more underground artist all those years ago.

Driving late at night when it’s cold out with this turned all the way up

He started with his back on the ground (00:02) and shining lights up ahead (00:05). He went towards it, but he found himself in a House of Balloons (00:19) (Trilogy). He got seduced by a prostitute in an alleyway (00:59) (Kiss Land). She took him to hell (Hollywood) where the devil worked people's souls and got rid of them afterwards (01:27) (BBTM). But there were also lots of good stuffs, big houses (01:37) and hot girls (02:07) but demons underneath the facade, he got to the height of it all inside the house, fought his demons with a cross (02:36) (Starboy). He made it out but he was alone, cold and alone (02:59). Also he had wings and he could fly (Bats from Call Out My Name - MDM). But he couldn't control them. Eventually the wings dropped him back where it all started, on the ground (03:11) with the dream of blinding lights still ahead (03:36) (After Hours). When he looked closer, however, the light was gone (03:46). He was disappointed but he kept going. In the end he finally found what he had been looking for all along - himself. (04:02)
I think the panthers might have something to do with pray for me?
@@Ilovefent Definitely
Existn’t there were panthers in his Starboy video and in the MANIA video as well which was for Starboy. I don’t think Black Panther has anything to do with it.
Dam, this deserve more likes.
Abel? Is that you?
This guy never fails to impress me with his music's. Litteraly one of the best artists I have ever seen.

Hmmm you support Barcelona
same
PRO GAMER what a coincidence, I having been listening to The Weeknd since Trilogy and am a huge Barca fan
Chill Pro Gamer , that track wasn't something to be crazily impressed with
love the vibe of this song, cant stop listening 🔥
The Vibe that I feel while listening to The Weeknd’s hits is kind of nostalgic vintage feeling of weird mix of some cozy memories ( this is how messy I had to describe it )
The Weeknd has demonstrated he is the "what a time to be alive" human representation. Simply, the best.
The only thing he demostrated in this, is how he sold his soul for fame.
What does that even mean u sound dumb
@@user-lp4fw2ec5q what does sell ur soul mean?, is having money and success selling ur soul. Most artist that are successful are always said that they have sold their soul but its just bs. They made it, that's all.

Blinding Lights: The Weeknd in an 80's mood In your eyes: The Weeknd in a Psycho/Terror mood Snowchild: The Weeknd in an "anime" mood After hours is a Masterpiece and this guy is such a legend
Dream big bro :) I did and won :) kzhead.info/sun/iZlmk5RunaGnhn0/bejne.html
Starboy
"In your eyes "is very 80's too, the clip has slasher ,thriller (mj) influence .
Heartless is more of a party mood
In your eyes: Influenced by Thriller
Abel does such an amazing job singing about the things he gone through and feeing and his career to just amazing love you able xo ❤
wow he basically summarized his entire carrier and life starting from house of balloons to after hours.

#facts
I like how he included all The Weeknd era looks from Trilogy all the way to After Hours in the video the animators went OFF🔥. I hope The Weeknd makes an anime show and I hope we get a Nothing compares music video
Hi Austin!
I kind of miss the hair it was a vibe and people don't understand the hours they put into the animation just for it to look like that.
this song is goes well with headphones love it
Idk how to describe how much I love the song
So cool to see The Weeknd in all his era's, obviously ending with his current look from After Hours
yeah exactly. i kept seeing his hair change and everything and i was like “this is so cool”😭
@@sophiamidha1239 ikr!! Idk who animated this video but they really knew where to put the details
I didn’t even realize he was going thru each phase until you said something, that really is cool!

The Weeknd is easily one of the best artists to ever touch the microphone. Who feels the same?!
tara lamlam17 we dont care about ur music
Nah
We all do
TeamOtaku Uk someone dont know the weeknd
Without a doubt
Animator: How many album references do u need? The Weeknd: yes
Isss thissss worthyyyyyyyy???? kzhead.info/sun/ZdCPeqhpoIWqeKs/bejne.html
this will forever be my favorite song. every single detail about this is perfect. throughout all the years i’ve been listening to the weeknd, this is the most detailed song about his life. if your like me and have heard everything and have time to understand certain songs from TRILOGY ALL DA WAY TO AFTER HOURS/DAWN FM it is beautiful to understand every scene and what it may mean to him. MASTERPIECE
Definitely my fav track off After hours. Since day 1, I thought snowchild sounded like the morning pt2 & almost in a sense of Abel finishing off The Weeknd perona.
I pray we don't loose you NOOOOOOOO time soon. You are an amazing gift to this world my love. Handsome talented king 👑❤️
just imagine how many people are listening to this song with you right now
maybe 10k people
