The Weeknd - A Tale By Quincy Lyrics
Looking back now I didn't know what it was supposed to be
And, and it's like raising kids, man
If you weren't raised, you don't know how to raise, you know?
I just did the best that I could with them because they know fucking well I love them
But I didn't do the best I could
I didn't
I will never forget watching my mother get put in a straight jacket
And taken out of my home when I was only seven years old
She was diagnosed with Dementia praecox and put in a mental institution
Leaving my daddy alone with me and my little brother Lloyd
I later had an evil stepmother who further cemented the idea that I didn't need a mother
Growing up without one had long lasting impressions I didn't fully understand until much later in life
It bled into my relationships with family and those I had become romantically involved with
Whenever I got too close to a woman I would cut her off
Part of that was vindictive and partially based on fear, but it was also totally subconscious

Now, I'm eagerly waiting for the official music videos of this Album ♥️
The placement of Out of Time just after this is so perfect, it blends so smoothly.
The Weeknd is like a drug .....once you hear him you need to hear more
I feel like this one fits in with narrative. Knowing quincy Jones as a legend for this type of music, but is a bit older now. In this one he plays the role of the old man weeknd. Reminiscing on his troubles and struggles on the after hours. Now old, contempt, but still a bit pissed the life he ruined.
Já ouvi todas. E não enjoo 😍😛😆
The transitions on this album are unreal, they give me daft punk vibes
The vibe is just amazing
This man is a huge inpiration to me, one day we gonna do a song together🙏
The best álbum 2022
Not bad!..damn I just like 2 songs from his whole album n I'm hardcore fan of his lol. This album is okay....this album missing dark vibes but I guess he's into futuristic songs now lol...
Still amazing artist no doubt!...🙌

Mano vc faz cada músicas dos anos 80s
"A Tale By Quincy"
The Weeknd ft. Quincy Jones #DawnFM
[Speech: Quincy Jones]
That's it
Looking back now, I didn't know what it was supposed to be
And it's like raising kids, man
If you weren't raised, they don't know how to raise, you know?
I just did the best that I could with them because they know fuckin' well I love them
But I didn't do the best I could - I didn't know what the fuck I was doing - I didn't
I will never forget watching my mother get put in a straightjacket and taken out of my home when I was only seven years old
She was diagnosed with Dementia praecox and put in a mental institution leaving my daddy alone with me and my little brother Lloyd
I later had an evil stepmother who further cemented the idea that I didn't need a mother
Growing up without one had long lasting impressions I didn't fully understand until much later in life
It bled into my relationships with family and those I had became romantically involved with
Whenever I got too close to a woman, I would cut her off
Part of that was vindictive and partially based on fear, but it was also totally subconsious
Looking back is a bitch, innit?
QUE MARAVILLA DE INTRO PARA LA MEJOR CANCIÓN DEL ALBUM: OUT OF TIME.
El amanecer 🌅 llegó para quedarse, maravilloso, te amamos Abel ❤️
Always a legend, Quincy.
The Weeknd is a huge inspiration to me and I WILL produce a song for him one day.
Masterpiece 🎵🖤🤯
I really wanted a song with the tunes used in this track, it's sooo good.
Lo amo ♥️😍
You never disappoint, Abel ♥️
El album es mega asombroso🖤🖤

🔥❤️💫This album is soo crazy
I love it, it feels a very sensual vibe
the best album ever! love ittttttt
Music sounds like a Quincy production.
The guitar sound reminds me to the classic 80s Quincy’s Albums like it’s played by Steve Lukather or Paul Jackson Jr.
Maravilhoso 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏.
A masterpiece
I love this whole story concept incredible and enjoying the album so far very different but amazing still
THE WEEKEND IS A HUGE INSPIRATION TO ME AND I WILL PRODUCE A SONG FOR HIM ONE DAY
I fkn love this album :)
All we agree that all his songs are just a masterpieces, right?
Looking back now, I didn't know what it was supposed to be

@Catherine Alexa Owens it’s from Quincy Jones based on his life as a kid
@Catherine Alexa Owens it does refect a art of the weeknd since his dad left when he was a baby and his mom practically gave up on him
This album is going to be on top charts trust me
Comments that aged poorly
Here after Gunna got #1 instead
Man if you just came here to hate then why even bother to leave a bad a comment i get its ur opinion but take that somewhere else.
@Nataly_V17 Ong
@Peachy Perfect u trippin dawg
True fact: Weeknd is one of the best artists of the millennium.
@Guts this millennium has been for 22 years

Secret garden baby
Finally a comment from someone who knows real and the Legend here.
Yes This song is so good! I just tried making my own song inspired by him its in my Playlist !
please tell me how you feel about it .
I'll be waiting to hear back from you !❤..
This is as impactful as Giorgio by Moroder, by Daft Punk. This is the future of synthwave. Thanks Quincy, thanks Abel. XO
Wtf you sayin? This is like a one-minute interview, and Giorgio by Moroder is nothing but way far than this
And Out Of Time it´s almost the same like Giorgo By Moroder, both are masterpieces!!
Finally someone mentioned this!! 🤩
This hits too hard as someone who also has grown up with a mentally ill mother and now has extremely similar issues with relationships. This is the single most important track on the album for me. Thank you for telling this story.
This album is packed with straight unique and different vibes, different emotions
ru-clip.com/video/zFJ2AN_CZH8/видео.html
@Andres Hermosa all the songs sound the same on this album…
Yea but I perfer after hours..dark tone Abel. This seems to futuristic lol
The weeknd is like a drug, once you hear one of his songs you have to hear more XO!!
