The "I almost cut a piece of myself" line is literal. Selena Gomez needed a Kidney or Liver or something and he considered being organ donor for her or something like that.

03:15...Ryan hit that note though lol

I've heard The Weeknd's name but never heard his music. And that's a damn shame, because MAN, can he sing! I think what he's saying has a universality to it as well, because most everyone has gone through something like this before, whether they would be able to express it or not. Needless to say, thanks to George and Ryan, I will be checking out more of The Weeknd's material. #freethinkers I'd like to hear you react to Lingus by Snarky Puppy. I'm like 97.347% sure you'll really dig it.

Weeknd has melancholy vibes like no other. Gated reverb? Love to play Weeknd at home. Loud. The quality of vocals is unreal.

Selena Gomez had a kidney problem so the weeknd wanted to donate his kidney. “I almost cut a piece of myself for your life”

“I almost cut a piece of myself for your life” Selena had to get a kidney transplant. & that was while they were together. He was super supportive of her during this time & I take this line to mean that he was willing to give her his kidney to save her life.

Man... You guys got the most wholesome comment section on KZfaq haha, keep doing your thing boys!

Maaaaannn...Let me tell you....Walked into the Barbershop the other day and asked for the George. Barber says "Say no more fam!" I look at him like... "Keep it crispy... like a 4pc dinner at popeyes..spicy, no mild $hit". 45mins later and 2 day dreams about Alicia Keys, I walk out with the Ryan....... Well, at least my beard game fresh as a new born.

I’m in a happy relationship but this song make me wanna get my heartbroke 😭😂😂😂

I ain't gonna lie, I wasn't that into The Weeknd when I first heard him. But after a couple more listens I started digging how deep his lyrics are and the atmosphere he creates with his music. This is another dope song, and another dope reaction from you guys. Keep it up! 👍😁

Hot damn! The vulnerability in this track is fantastic. Absolutely love the vocals. Wonderful job as always, guys! 🤘

You know, this is not my style of music... but if there’s one thing y’all have taught me over the last few months it’s “talent is talent”.... and god damn this guy’s voice is undeniable... wowowow... much love to him for this one. Request, would love to see you guys revisit Trivium or Alter Bridge

awww sheiiiiiiit........... I always say The Weeknd is Deftones of R&B. Deftones/The Weeknd is baby making music, simply put.

Finally a Weeknd song...thank you!! This and I was never there are my favorite tracks from this project.

This channel has legit become my favorite reaction channel. Just the quality of the content is amazing, and not to mention the references you guys make.

He said "I almost cut a piece of myself for your life" because Selena needa a kidney transplant .. she ended up getting it from a friend but The Weeknd almost gave her his

Bro your reactions are the realest man, always say things the way that they are without giving le way to one artist. Great critque.Dang. And yeah he was talking about selena, in this song

Yasssssssss the Weeknd is everything his vocals are🔥🔥🔥🔥 vulnerability is sexy

The echo like sound is called Reverb

just want to say, I really enjoy the reviews you guys do. I'll sit outside, have a good drink or cigar and watch a few vids to chill out from the day. good job, gentlemen.

Even when i really don´t get into the music, i still like the pure and honest reaction.

The line.."girl why can't u wait" is a call back to one of this songs on his second ep.."the birds pt. 2".. and that song it is the girl that is begging for him to stay n asking him to wait til she falls out of love be for he moves on so quicky..so this shows how now the tables are turned on him n he now understands how his ex felt n showing his growth as a person.

u are different stay like this please

When he sings "I almost cut a piece of myself for your life" he means, that he almost gave his kidney to Selena Gomez. She needed a new one, because of her illness called lupus...

I'm hearing this song for the first time and this song is good 👌. I feel sorry for the guy. #FREETHINKERS. Love u George & Ryan 💗😜

when he says "I almost cut a piece of myself for your life" he was about to donate his kidney to selena

You guys are literally the GOAT’s!! Keep it going champions 💪

What I love the most about you two is that it's obvious you adore music. You appreciate tiny details in songs that most people don't notice or think much of. When you spoke on the distortion on his voice near the middle, Ryan, it was so cool. Literally like 3 seconds of the song, and yet I think you hit the nail on the head by saying while it sounds cool, it also fits with the context of the lyrics, right? He feels he isn't being heard, his perception of things has become distorted. Really cool to pick up on these little things that make songs that bit cooler!

You need to review I was never there - The Weeknd!!! Love you guys

when this came out i listened to it for 4 hours straight

A perfect example for “youtubers who know what they’re doing” and they’re doing it at its best.

"I almost cut a piece of my self for your life" - It's a reference to when Selena Gomez needed a kidney transplant, and Abel was willing to give her his kidney

Number 1 music react channel!

I like this. Not into this type but it's a good song. Love your reaction guys. 360,000 plus. That's effing awesome! Look forward everyday to your channel. Keeping it real 🤘

This is truly the best reaction channel on youtube imo, you guys actually REACT and tell what you think and thats awesome, keep em coming! 👍

Loving this reaction guys':)

Y’all just keep putting out fire content🔥

Notification squaaaad ! Can y’all react to FlatbushZombies- ‘Headstone’ Much LOVE big Dawgs ! Keep up the reactions !

Hey guys. Love ya both! It's the weekend. I totaled my car last weekend (Sunday April 8th) on an icy bridge. No control whatsoever. Spun and bounced off of the concrete walls like a pinball in a pinball machine. Said my prayers, asked forgiveness of all sins and was accepting what I thought was about to happen. Friday night when neighbors struggled to get their truck bed closed and slammed it 3 times each time harder I went into a PTSD episode. Was so scary and freaky. I wasn't in my living room watching Master Chef Junior anymore. I was in my car on the bridge again and couldn't even see my living room. I say all of this to ask for prayers and if you don't pray please send good vibes through the universe to me. I'd appreciate it so much. Keep up the good work. Love ya guys so much! Great guys...keepers on any level!!

I love that u guys comment on the sounds, its important

Prog Rock reaction please, I think you guys would love any of these: Steven Wilson- The Raven that Refused to Sing, Routine, or Drive Home (with their film clips) Porcupine Tree- Anesthetize (it's long but it's got groove, melody, goes kind of hard rock, and has a lot of soul)

Or the 3 mixed tapes compiled into the trilogy by the weeknd, just the lyrics in that project are in depth and amazing. I know you guys can appreciate it.

When he said "almost cut a piece of myself for your life" he is talking about a kidney transplant that Selena needed. He was willing to give her his KIDNEY but she ended up finding another donor. WOW!

Wow. You guys are almost at 500k subs............ YOU DESERVE EVEN MORE, but damn that exploded since the fall of last year! GOOD JOB

The review was on point! Completely agree he has his unique style and his vocals are always fire 🔥

Y'all ALWAYS be uploading late af lol. And im pretty sure like 1/2 the songs are about Selena p.s the "cut a piece of my life" was a reference to him wanting to give Selena a kidney that she needed cause her's were failing cause of some disease she had\has

The “I almost cut a piece of myself for your life” is referring to when Selena Gomez had her kidney transplant surgery a couple months ago, the Weeknd’s saying that he almost gave her his kidney.

The line "Girl why can't you wait til I fall out of love" is a reference to his song "The Birds Part 2" where he sings "She said it won't be long before she falls out of love". The heart-breaker gets heartbroken this time.

Black by Pearl Jam

Muse - Knights of Cydonia!!!

Finally y'all doing some Weeknd shit. Been waiting for this to happen.

FINALLY thank you. I’ve been commenting this song on almost every vid

Toehider - Whatever Makes You feel superior You guys need to check this out!

Supposedly the lyric "i almost cut a piece of myself for your life" refers to him almost donating his kidney to Selena

Love the point you made about the 'vibe' craze. Couldn't agree more

Great reaction. I like how he opened up too, it’s always interesting to see how people write when they’re hurt or super sad

Can you guys do the black panther album???

Y’all called him MJ jr. so you should forsure react to D.D. by The Weekend cause it’s a Dirty Diana cover. Super dope

My playlist had grown due to this channel. Free Thinking has opened me up to different types of music and when a song catches my ear I go and listen to more songs from the artist.... I pass the word to my friends with a shout out to you both. Keep it real

The cut a piece of myself part is about Selena’s kidney transplant last year. The pit stop part and the “why can’t you wait till I fall out of love” was about the fact that Selena got back with Justin Bieber right after she and The Weeknd broke up.

official lyric video yeah, the music video drops today

You guys need to react to songs from Faith No More, or Mr. Bungle. The singer of both bands is the man Mike Patton himself. Amazing stuff!

You guys are awesome! I love watching your reviews

George that Golden Knights lid is FIRE!!

Love you guys

TESSERACT - Of Matter (Live at Sphere Studios). Different singer you'll fall in love with! Go Knights!

Man when he said "you just wasted my time" that's heart breaking, every guy has one girl he wishes he could have back...

Metal head here, and The Weeknd is lit and so was this reaction.

Flatbush zombies headstone !!!

Toehider - Whatever Makes You Feel Superior! Would be awesome to hear your thoughts on this amazing piece of music.

When you watch a reaction video because you want to validate your own feelings about a certain song, but end up screaming at the tele, for the interruptions to stop. Beautiful song, great reaction.

King Crimson - 21st Century Schizoid Man Porcupine Tree - Blackest Eyes Haken - Atlas Stone Leprous - The Price Deafheaven - Dream House Steven Wilson - Routine TesseracT - Singularity Leprous - The Price Muse - Knights of Cydonia Royal Blood - Out of the Black Yes - Roundabout Rolo Tamassi - The Hollow Hour

The part where he said "I almost cut a piece of myself for your life" The Weeknd was saying that because he was gonna give his kidney to Selena Gomez

Always nice to wake up to a new vid regardless of genre. Would love to see a reaction to JUDAS PRIEST and their brand new album, preferably EVIL NEVER DIES. ROB HALFORD is still in great form at age 66

Props to Ryan for figuring the emotions of the weeknd on his 2nd verse , you can sense and feel that he really was upset

YES! Thank you.

Tool Jambi guys!

Y’all hip hop heads gotta listen to cunninlynguists-break even. Y’all will love it

I think the reason this song is so good, other than his voice, is bc he usually sings about women needing him and falling out of love with him... Not the other way around.

When he said “I almost cut a piece of myself for your life” that might actually be literal and about Selena. When Abel and Selena were dating, Selena had to go through surgery to have a kidney transplant so he probably thought about helping her

Do okra - tyler And headstone - flatbush

Would love to see you react to Hunger Strike by Temple of the Dog. It's with Eddie Vedder (Pearl Jam) and Chris Cornell (Soundgarden/Audioslave). Two absolutely amazing voices! You won't be disappointed, I promise! Love what you guys are doing, experiencing new music. People can be so closed minded with everything, especially with music. But, IMO, music is something that can bring us all closer together. Keep doing what your doing. It's a great example for the "next generation".

First channel I have ever seen with fans friend specific music category's

We need more of The Weeknd!!!

React to black panther paramedic!

Dream Theater - As I Am

he’s such a beautiful person 😻😻

Been waiting for this!

This new Weeknd stuff ist just impressive to me. Such a talent, his new stuff had me comfortably dying since he put it out. But how about another Gojira song my dudes? Still pleading for The Art Of Dying, it needs to happen!!!

Lol the official music video just came out today

So, I've heard that the "almost cut a piece of myself for your life" references his romance with Selena when she was going through her lupus treatment. Meaning Abel was possibly giving her one of his kidneys (i.e. literally cutting a piece of himself for her life)

I like how the both of you thought this was the music videos but it's not and the official video came out on the exact day you uploaded this Lol. Love your channel still

You guys gotta listen to Schism by Tool. It’s about the end of a relationship too, a little more complex though. Great lyrics

react to songs from the trilogy please!!

The Tragically Hip - 38 years old ... They are the best kept Canadian secret, RIP Gord Downie

The “cut a piece of myself for your life” Selena needed a transplant and that’s what he’s talking about he was going to give his kidney (i think that’s what she needed) for her. This song is so captivating. It’s just amazing, vocals and production is STELLAR #XOTWOD

Really enjoy your videos. Check out Merkules he’s 🔥. I think you guys will enjoy his music!

Yo can y'all react to Eminem music video Framed,like to see the insight!

Y’all should really do some of The Weeknd’s music videos; his newer album ‘After Hours’ has a bunch of music videos that all align together and make basically a giant story. Would be really cool to see y’all react to it!

I love how you guys provide so much insight on the music in every single video. Nobody does it better than y'all, keep it up🙌🏼
