One reading of the story of Thursday runs roughly as such. A young man encounters an emotionally fragile young woman. He seduces her with the promise of fame and the aid of drugs; she needs him more than he wants her. The sexual arrangement that ensues is both imbalanced and unconventional. She begins to call him on days other than the fifth day of the week. The narrator finds himself surprised, and then worried. His past experience of deprivation has instilled in him a numb mentality, yet the eagerness of girl Thursday threatens to thaw out his persona and render him equally enamored, and vulnerable.
It makes for a sloppy, lopsided story if the girl at the center of the narrative exits it completely two-thirds of the way through without the slightest memory or mention afterward. If Thursday were a narrative conducted in written words, a novel or novella, one could swiftly write it off — too operatic, not enough logic or nuance.
Though the narrative takes fatal excess as one of its themes, the means by which those themes are elaborated are relatively compact and discreet. According to a scathing Vice interview with Jeremy Rose , the Weeknd was initially a collaboration between him and Tesfaye, and they called themselves the Weekend. Tesfaye dropped the final "e" shortly after the two friends-of-friends parted company in —which happened just as those three tracks, which they wrote together, were blowing up online.
Of course, the success of Beauty Behind the Madness has proven that Tesfaye manages just fine on his own. From the beginning, Tesfaye had resisted selling out, but working with Martin helped him appreciate the challenge of pop music—and how much tougher it is to make than "cool" music. I feel like usually he'll collaborate, but he's not as passionate or as hands-on. I felt super-honored, you know? Speaking of Michael and Quincy, one of the few times Tesfaye has found himself starstruck in the past couple of years was when he met Jones at the nightclub Drai's in Las Vegas.
But the connection between the singers goes beyond falsetto vocals, chilly beats, and chart-topping success. He was our icon. View Iframe URL. Some fans claim that the "XO" in the Weeknd's "XO Crew" simply stands for hugs and kisses, while others claim the letters represent the drugs Ecstasy and oxycontin.
Always on the move, from one girl to the next also high while rolling. They just like him for his music. While smoking and popping pills, it causes him to express his feelings on songs to relieve stress. Until then, he will be here for the girl. Before everyone else loves him and she grows tired of him when his fame dies down. I presume he is referring to the expected commercialized turn most artist take once they get put on.
But nonetheless, he hope she will still be there for him. A night filled with narcotics and alcohol. The girl wants a peek into his world, so he lets her in. He has control of her and wants her to lose her inhibitions. He knows the drugs will heighten her sensitivity to touch which will make sex that much better.
He wants to help her forget all that by giving her what she needs, sex. Let me be honest. Fight me. She could have had everything in the world, could have been his Lonely Star, which is a spin off the song on Thursday.

Out of the 9 songs, I The Weeknd's sophomore album is memorable, but lacking in the uber-quality samples that made House of Balloons so great. Out of the 9 songs, I love 7 of them. Lonely Star is a perfect opener for the album; it will make you so hopeful that another perfect mix-tape is to come. Thursday also represents a step up in quality. The Weeknd, from what I hear, got some quality producers to help him out as well as created a completely new sound.
I have to say House of Balloons doesn't sound like something that mainstream. Granted, that's why I love it so damn much, but it was too project-like almost. Bold albums like that are a rare find in today's industry. That's not to say that Thursday fits that bill, either.
Thursday is still a daring addition but it's a bit more collected than HOB. A pretty big step backwards after his great debut mixtape. I refuse to think that Tesfaye has put out all his amazing hooks in 'House of A pretty big step backwards after his great debut mixtape.
