“Love in the Sky” has a deep, brooding R&B beat serving as a rich backdrop to Tesfaye’s trademark fragile falsetto vocals. With lines like “I always get high ‘coz my confidence is low” and a hidden sample of a thunderstorm, this track is virtually the definition of sadwave hip hop.
With his recent slew of new releases, Abel Tesfaye, the ambiguous 23-year-old Canadian behind The Weeknd, keeps his streak alive as we’re treated with yet another fresh offering from his highly anticipated forthcoming sophomore album. Just hours after the studio quality release of “Belong To The World,” comes The Weeknd’s latest single in the form of “Love In The Sky.”
The Weeknd – Love In The Sky Lyrics:
[Verse 1:]
There’s no one inside
But you’re free to relax
If you commit to this ride
There’s no turning back
You’ve been here before
Remember these sheets
This world’s not for us
It’s not what it seems
[Hook:]
We’ll learn to love how to dream, dream
You’ll learn to love how to dream, dream
[Verse 2:]
There’s no need to hide
Don’t overreact
You said you’ve been to the sky
We’ll go beyond that
You’ve been here before, girl
Remember these sheets
This world’s not for us
It’s not what it seems
[Hook 2:]
We’ll learn to love how to dream, dream
You’ll learn to love how to dream, dream
I’ll teach you to dream, oooh
We’ll find our love in the sky [6x]
[Verse 3:]
How does it feel?
Do you feel like you did before?
Do you see the world getting small?
How does it feel, are you free?
As for me, I’ve been getting grown
As for me, I’ve been getting old
As for me, I’ve been flying around the world
I’ve been killing these shows
But I’m always getting high
Cause my confidence is low
And I’m always in a rush
Ain’t no time to fuck slow
And even if I try
It’s not something I would know
But I’m sure I’ll make you cum
Do it three times in a row
But I’m sure you would have left
Got that pussy in control
Put that pussy in control
I got it in control
Control, control, control, mmmmh
