Favorite Three Songs
-
The Morning
"The Morning" is considered one of The Weeknd's first breakout songs, leading him to his popularity today. During the beginning of the song the listener hears a synthesized guitar solo and continues throughout the song as one of the main instruments. The song has a nice slow, mellow tempo while talking about the party life of being a artist, such as himself.
-
Blinding Lights
"Blinding Lights" is considered by many to be The Weeknd's most popular song currently to date. Unlike "The Morning" the tempo is much more energetic and upbeat, but still very synthesized just like most songs from the artist. Personally, this one of first songs I play when I am in an upbeat mood as the song just keeps the energy flowing. The song particularly relates to the night life and party life once again.

Save Your tears
"Save Your Tears" is another very popular song from the artist. In this song The Weeknd talks about a more darker subject, that being breakup. During the song the artist tells the listeners that while there may be tears after a breakup, that it is also a good time to reflect on what you learned during the endeavor. While the song still has the typical characteristics of his other songs, it is slower paced and less energetic. Many find this song a more personal song from the artist.
