"Blinding Lights" by The Weeknd

 



The Weeknd's song "Blinding Lights" was released as the second single from his fourth studio album After Hours on November 29, 2019, through XO and Republic Records (2020). The Weeknd, Max Martin, and Oscar Holter wrote and produced it, with Ahmad Balshe and Jason Quenneville receiving extra credit. The Weeknd's fifth number-one single in Canada was "Blinding Lights," which reached number one on the Canadian Hot 100. The song topped the Hot 100 for four weeks in the United States, and went on to become the song with the most weeks spent in the top 5, top 10, top 20, top 40, and top 100 on the chart, as well as the first song to spend an entire year in the top 10. It is also the longest charting song on the Hot 100 of all time, with 90 weeks ending September 11, 2021. The song was the year's top Billboard Hot 100 song at the end of 2020. It has also topped the charts in 31 other nations, including the United Kingdom. According to the International Federation of the Phonographic Industry, The Weeknd's most successful track to date, "Blinding Lights," was the best-performing global single of 2020, collecting 2.72 billion subscription stream equivalents globally (IFPI). It was also Spotify's most streamed music in 2020, with approximately 1.6 billion streams, and is the platform's second most streamed song of all time, being the fastest song in Spotify ever to reach the milestone of 2 billion streams. Three official remixes of "Blinding Lights" are available: one by electronic band Chromatics, one by electronic dance music group Major Lazer, and one by singer-songwriter Rosalia

When asked what the storyline behind this heist-y seeming, high-speed film was about, The Weekend shared a little insight into his song. "'Blinding Lights' [is about] how you want to visit someone late at night, and you're drunk, and you're driving to this person, and you're just blindsided by streetlights," he adds in the profile. "But nothing could stop you from attempting to visit that person because you're so lonely; I'm not advocating drunk driving, but that's the horrible undertone."

A Brief Review of an Infomercial About a Student's Mental Health

  Now the infomercial started off with the reality that the time that we live in today or the so-called New Normal has affected an enormous amount of people if not all, but this just goes to show how, even in the world we live in underestimates the things people go through especially students as they are not accustomed to such drastic change, it might result to stress and unlike physical health, mental health is difficult for a person to detect, now think of it this way, when you get a cut, your finger will bleed and people can see that but when you are or another person is emotionally distressed, it is difficult to understand how that works because we don't know how that feels, some might be hiding it that it gathers inside the thought of a person and that person becomes stressed and pressured or even worse depressed because unlike a physical examination, depression can't be measured, it varies from person to person, and thats what change can do, some people can overcome it ea...

Open Letter Para sa Ating mga Pinuno

  Kamusta diyan! mga pinuno sa hinaharap, kaya nais kong tugunan ang mensaheng ito sa inyong mga tao. na nais namin na ang aming mga hinaharap na pinuno ay maging responsable at laging alerto sa ating bansa, kayo ang aming superior kaya dapat kayo ay kumilos ng isa. Alam kong may iba pang mga pinuno na napaka sakim at corupt, at hindi namin gusto ang mga ito dahil sinusubukan nilang sirain ang ating lipunan. Kaya gusto ko kayong mga namumuno sa hinaharap na maging mapagbantay at laging handa, gusto namin ang mga pinuno na palaging aktibo at palaging gumagawa ng mga trabaho doon nang maayos at hinahangaan namin kayo. Alam kong ang pagiging pinuno ay hindi madali at ito ay isang mahigpit na trabaho at naiintindihan ko iyon. at nais naming kayo ay laging maging mabait sa iba (tulad talaga) ngunit hindi ko sinasabi na dapat talaga kayong mabait, maaari kayong maging mahigpit. Kaya't mangyaring huwag maging isang pinuno ng corupt, sapagkat lahat tayo ay umaasa sa inyong mga tao. at iyon...
