After Hours- The Weeknd

Just wanted to make everyone aware that there is an offical 2:31 radio edit that is clean of the 6:02 track that hit the top 40.

It starts with a slight instrumental and jumps into the lines starting with "My Darkest Hours".

The clean part is when it comes to the line:

[I'll be livin' in Heaven]....and omits [when I'm inside of you]and all you hear is instrumental. Guess im inside of you is now dirty???

The song ends with the words "I'll never let you down again, again" and a few more agains and then it abruptly ends.

I was shocked that it was so short. Just wanted to document it here since it did hit top 40 and the 6:02 is available on CD.

The clean radio edit I have sounds a lot better around the explicit lyrics compared to the promo only 6:02. In fact everywhere the track is up digitally in lossless it is the one track that is not explicit. However for those that are interested the true explicit version (that is sold as a single on 7digital) is not clean and is only 320 bit rate. All other downloaded versions off the same titled album are clean...

I honestly think the lyrics are just fine, a little too much editing in this case. I've made the note and now fixed it in my collection and downloaded the 6:02 from 7 digital which is not edited like the radio edit.

As you can see there is no explicit by the album description for After Hours:
