Response to "Call Out My Name" by The Weeknd The original song by The Weeknd is a Mega Hit because it is so very well-written and sung with heartfelt emotions. It clearly expresses the way that a man feels about a broken relationship - that his dominance and control are expressions of love; that all a woman has to do to be happy is simply submit to his points of view, his whims and fancies, his “master plan” for life. And that a woman who runs away just does not know how good she has it and is hurting them both by running away from “paradise”. So my response song is about a woman’s perspective of such a relationship and the culture of male dominance. One endures a stormy relationship, hoping for calm seas and sunny skies. But the thunder grows louder, the lightning more frequent and the inferno raging even hotter. These are not meant to purify and uplift; they are meant to subjugate and dehumanize - fire begets fire; anger begets anger; rage begets rage; love begets love. A lover is not someone who drowns you in rage but one who sails the Seven Seas of Life, sharing the adventure, which uplifts and enriches you both. A lover is not one who tests you but one who trusts you. Love begets Love. If you give anything but Love, do not be surprised when Love leaves you. ‘Call Out My Name’ is a fantastic composition and The Weeknd has once again shown the depth and breadth of his creativity.
