SACRIFICE (inspired by the song of the same name)
It’s cold outside now
But with you, ain’t never been colder
And I didn’t realize it then
Til I got a little older
Got a little bolder
Had to keep moving the boulder
Capitalize, emphasize my actions
Yeah they getting bolder
Sacrifice
The only thing you gave up was my time
You wouldn’t change it for nothing
Not even at the drop of a dime
Penny for your thoughts
What were you thinking
Build you a little bitch
To play with
Good riddance
You set the bar so low
So I started my sentence
And then turned them into stanzas
My emotions were endless
I don’t want to sacrifice
Anymore time
Because you are all in my memories
And the good that came from it was of you leaving me

Happy New Year everyone! With a new year, we expect to have a lot of new music from your favorite artists – new and old. The first to come out this week comes from none other than XO crooner, The Weeknd who surprise-dropped his latest album, Dawn FM over the weekend. One of the most talked about tracks from the project is his latest single, Sacrifice.
The Weeknd has developed a formula of being able to discuss personal relationships and experiences so effortlessly in his catalogue of releases. This time, he reinvents the sounds from the late 70s and 80s to create a groovy tune for any fan of the Toronto artist to admire. From the first listen, I was able to recall my own personal situations and relate to the emotions of The Weeknd that he brings to the track. Fans will enjoy the new sound from The Weeknd, as it is unlike any of his previous works.
