Video: The Knowing by The Weeknd

The first official video of The Weeknd after a tweet stating that there will be none six months ago. Paris-based filmmaker Mikael Colombu puts his spin on "The Knowing." A legit seven minute production for the closing track of the critically acclaimed debut mixtape, House of Balloons.

The storyline begins with the historical fall of Ethiopian emperor Haile Selassie “The Conquering Lion of Judah” then moves onto what appears to be his heart being reprocessed by a warrior woman and into The Weeknd. In the closing scene Selassie’s face is shown trading places with The Weeknd in an effort to save the woman who stole his heart from dying (via Cmongood).
