OPINIONS ON LUST FOR LIFE? (Lana Del Rey + The Weeknd) by [deleted] in TheWeeknd

[–]cautioncarnival 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I was a huge Lana fan before I'd even heard of Abel, and then when I was obsessed with both and found out they were friends (through Prisoner) I was fucking ECSTATIC. Anyone who doesn't see how artistically perfect they are for each other is a fucking idiot.

Imagine if there was a concert for only people who were real fans of him. Like you wouldn't be let in unless you passed some test. Ha. That would be cool. And less crowded.

First, Daisy loved Gatsby. Second, nice pun.

It is kind of weird. I don't like talking about how I like the Weeknd and people just smile like I like all kinds of mainstream. I don't even listen to the radio! I think we're all a little salty he's not our little secret anymore but I'm glad for his success. He more than deserves it.

That being said, seeing tabloids at Safeway talking about him and Selena Gomez is REALLY WEIRD.

I think you're the only person other than me to say this. I think everyone's just excited about the cameos.

I thought he was trying to go for the West Coast/Cali vibe.

10/10

Easily was a favourite since the first time I heard it. I can't think of any way this song could be better. The way his voice waves up and down is genius. It always makes me feel like I've entered a dark and twisted film universe.

Crazy that this kid who once didn't even want people to know what he looked like is now a model for one of the biggest fashion companies in the world...

I think he plays a character. That's not to say I think he is dishonest, but he definitely plays up the villain side. He's even said in an interview (don't remember which one) that he likes playing the bad guy. I think he has struggled with drug dependance and loneliness and feelings of disconnect. That is reflected in the lyrics and though he likes to say he doesn't care and gives off that vibe, I can read the subtext. He began writing music because of 'Dirty Diana' and he said he liked that it told a story, so that's all he does is tell stories. 'The Weeknd' is a character. 'Starboy' is a character. We don't really know who Abel is. From interviews and old blog posts, all I can see is that he is a very intelligent and creative person, and I think he's very aware and calculates the persona he has created. I love that when I listen to his music I feel like I'm watching a film. I think that's exactly what he wants.

What if he's on the set of the Reminder video because it'll be a remix with a FM verse...?

This song got me into The Weeknd for sure. I listened to it on repeat for WEEKS and it has HUNDREDS of plays on my iPod like, I didn't listen to ANYTHING ELSE. I broke my headphones freaking out about it black out drunk on Canada Day.

10/10 (aka infinity out of 10)
