I moved up to Alaska about a year ago. One night I was driving up north, with this song playing. Suddenly I saw the Northern Lights bright as hell.. I stopped the car, turned up the radio all the way, turned off the lights and layed on the hood of my car.. The feeling that gave me, the way this song enhanced that moment was something I have never felt before. It was like I was in a different world... It truly was amazing.
Wow as I was reading I was trying to picture how amazing that monument must have been and the chill that went over me as this song was playing .......anyway thanks 4 sharing .. !!!
Aloe Blacc does. Anthony Hamilton does. Krizz Kaliko does. The song Human by Rittz is a great goose bumps song. Can't list 'em all, but there are other artists out there with similar abilities. You just have to look for 'em.
I HAVE IN THE PAST AS WELL, WHEN THE TRILOGY ALBUM CAME OUT YRS AGO I WAS SO SAD, & DEPRESSED BUT HIS MUSIC HELPED ME SO MUCH, HE'LL NEVER UNDERSTAND THE PAIN HE GOT ME THRU😔
This song was way ahead of its time. The video was way ahead of its time. This version of The Weeknd will most likely never return. But I’m glad I got to experience every bit of this era to the fullest extent. In a way it’s bitter sweet. xo
As much as I love Trilogy, I don't think he should ever go back to his Trilogy mindset in reality. He was really fucked up when he made these tracks, and I would never wish someone to go back to a darker part in their lives to make 'better sounding music'.
When i went through a dark time i listened to it, then i just didnt listen to it for about a year. Today someone reminded me of the song, and i ealised i wasted my energy and tears for a douchbag
This song hits me deeper than anything else , takes me back to 2011 , if only I knew how drastically different my life would be now , back then,I’d cherish every second .
This song could make even a grown man cry. Especially with the visuals. The man in the beginning of the video is King Selassie, who ran Ethiopa until a military coup killed him and his cabinet, proceeding to instill Marxism in his absence during that period in Ethiopia (True Story). According to pics around the 1:40 mark, it seems in this story that Abel is related to King Selassie, who was a great man wronged by the people he trusted. If we assume Selassie is Abel's father in the video, than Abel and his father's coffin then get abducted by a ruler (Queen) in space (assuming it is due to his bloodline). The woman he is with (his wife), cheats on him, as shown by (presumably) some council member (Military coup reference). But this time, Abel exacts revenge when he slays (has sex with) the women (slaves) with his bodyguards (friends) to get back at the Queen (now wife). She than gets envious and angry despite her own cheating. She than splits the world in two (ending their relationship), and out of spite sends 2 other women (friends) to do more damage (Second attempt at a coup). The two women arrive and take out his bodyguards before they suck the heart from Abel so they can deliver it back to the Queen so that she can destroy it. It's at this point we see that Abel's heart is too pure, just like his father King Selassie (who was a man of peace). Abel succeeded where his father had been wronged (by avoiding the coup that ruined everything). That is why he turns into his father at the end, because not only did Abel persevere, but he also did so in the name of King Selassie as well. In both scenarios, Abel and his father (in the story) end up standing over the people who wronged them; as they were both unbreakable and unshaken. Good people always get the last laugh, though it may be hard.
Beautiful. I just went through a tough break up and this shot honestly just reminded me not to let my heart turn cold just because a person broke. Hold onto the good within you

Joseph Sir no one knew him since The Noise EP and people who say that are lying, The Noise was leaked after HOB dropped by salty producers lol. HOB tracks were the first appearance of him online
I remember years ago when I first heard this song I was actually asleep and i left my phone on with music playing but woke up too this and I felt like I was in a dream I can’t explain it or what I’m trying to say but this by far is the most beautiful heartbreaking song I have ever heard. Not to mention the video is just genius this man had to feel true pain to make this. Here it is 2020 and I’m still here. I love to just put my headphones on and just get lost in this song.
@@ccgeibs4786 не согласна. Каждый период его творчества разный, интересный, глубокий - идеальный потому что прожит искренне! Главное, что Эйбел не изменяет себе. И это есть во всех его песнях.
@@ccgeibs4786 Trilogy is a compilation of the first 3 mixtapes, (9 songs each; House of Balloons, Thursday, and Echoes of Silence) remastered into a 3-disk set. They took samples and different things out of tge original music. You need to listen to each of the original mixtapes and hear the depth that was taken out. Those are "original" Weeknd.
I wish if there were private concerts just for the fans who truly appreciate his old music where he sings for us all the sad/dark songs and we all just sit quietly listening to the most beautiful voice we've ever heard. Here's a wish list: The knowing The party & after the party The birds 2 The zone High for this Professional Coming down Echoes of silence Rolling Stone Wicked games Gone in vein Same old song Birthday suit (i dnt think he would) Valerie Nomads The list goes on but these r my TOP TOP TOP TOP favorites now before u attack me 1- English is not my first language 2- I didn't mention new or old fans I meant all the fans WHO APPRECIATE the old songs of his. I have 2 friends who just started listening to him this year and the deeper they dig into old songs the more the fall in love. Add your favs
Same Old Song, In Vein (Even Tho He Was Just Featured On That), Valerie, Rolling Stone, (Another Feature) But Remember You, Crew Love, Dirty Diana Cover, Echoes Of Silence, Next & So Much More... I Listen To All Types Of Music & It's Weird Cuz Since I'm Black & Hood Everyone Thinks I Only Listen To Rap 😂💯
This comment is true and I wish that would happen but there still was a okay fan base for people who truly want to go to concerts for the music not to be there because you barley know Abel's music but I like this idea :)
Once you hear the 'Trilogy', you can never go back... 'Beauty Behind the Madness' is the surface depth of Abel's abilities. And I thought 'Beauty Behind the Madness' was a good album. His older works make that stark in comparison.
+Varton Sarkissian I really, REALLY don't like BBTM because to me it sounds like he's trying to be something he's not. Like he sounds really fake for most of the tracks for me. Of course, Often, The Hills, and Can't Feel My Face are all quite good but they don't mean as much to me like almost every song from Trilogy and Kiss Land does. But I understand why other people like it. I just don't like to hear The Weeknd making happy-ish music. Fuck that he needs to constantly be depressed!
Idk, I like the transition from depressed to somewhat happy. Plus, I'm a huge Prince fan, so I'm down to hear him use those pop and rock inspirations. I will say this though, BBTM didn't really have a cohesive style or theme. Either way, I thought it popped. To each their own I guess
in my opinion...and this is coming from a person who has been listening to the Weeknd for a while...(since 2011) I believe that bbtm reflected the very best of Abel's abilities. He was coming out of his shell. I believe it told just as much of a story as trilogy and kiss land had. I don't think it is a "sell out album" (best way I can explain) , but just another part of him that he expressed through it Not even so much a different part. Everyone and every artist has layers. His vocals still were gold and his beats magic and it still was his sound.
As an Ethiopian am so proud of this man Able Tesfaye he has a talent that’s so unique and not many people posses. His mindset to make great music is something truly rare in this day and age. 🖤🇪🇹🖤
I think that the weeknd is a fucking genius. he made this video. he formed these lyrics. In the hope that we will discuss it's meaning. he didn't want it to be blatant. he didn't want it to be simple. because that's not what life is. life is not simple. Life is not always obvious. With people taking that into consideration. I hope that the music industry changes. I hope it moves in the direction of people trying to think about what they're listening too. Music can make people smarter. Think faster, act quicker, feel euphoria, overcome adversity. But with the current mainstream music. it only degrades woman, makes people unintelligent and think less. Props to the weeknd. you've got my ear.
Hits even deeper when you realize they are using the betrayal in the song as metaphor for Emperor Selassie being betrayed and killed by his own people during the communist revolution.
I'm hopelessly in love with this era of The weeknd's music. It brings back so many memories. An echo of another place, another time. I wish I could go back.
+Samantha Marie why are you like that? He said his favorite, not the best of all time. And I completely agree with Slump Man. The Trilogy is constantly battling 808s and Heartbreak for my favorite album.
The Weeknd is a great artist who happens to be habesha (Ethiopian) just like me. And I think it's wonderful that he remembers where he is from and that he is demolishing all these stereotypes about not only Ethiopians, but Africans in general. He's also doing something that no one has seen before and that's what makes him so great. Keep on doing what you're doing man.
I've come to realize that people who are immature don't like and/or can't connect to this very talented man's songs. I applaud those of you who are mature and can relate to this amazing artist. Best artist of the modern day. Go Abel.
i don't think so, i could never think of myself as 'mature' because then i would get ideas about feeling old or boring. i listen to this when i want to connect with music on a deep personal level, or to relax, i listen to other types of music for different vibes, i don't think being mature or immature has much to do with it at all really, its merely an appreciation of a chosen artist that brought people here. shake away your judgements and become at peace with yourself instead of judging others
He is royalty my friend. Just gotta follow the rabbit hole. They migrated from Ethiopia soon after the dethroning of the emperor. Strange as it seems, he told us himself at the beginning of the track. "bring me the dead emperor" and he pops by the cross ,next to the arc of the covenant,(which i believe is a sort of tomb or chamber) up as if he is either a descendant or a reincarnation. Ethiopians are the real hebrew peoples. Not these melaninless phonies we call isrealites now a days.
This video and song together speaks volumes to the times we're in when it comes to relationships and how we are Gods and Goddesses trying to protect our own planets(hearts)...this is as real as it gets and The Weeknd didn't direct the video but it defines the lyrics of the song to the tee. Respect to a living legend.
This is art, it¨s the perfect definition of what i call it, and no one it¨s going to change my mind, the cinematography, of this is just, beauty... i will miss her...
Yo The Weeknd is the shit...you can tell he's been through some real shit and I think we all appreciate the way he expresses it...we who can relate just zone out to his music...can't explain it...
for all the people who are saying how this is a song about break up and cheating you're totally wrong. In the first of the video you can listen there is Amharic(the common language spoken in Ethopia) And the past president haile selassie being arrested and the the heart being throwed to the lions. I think this video is one of the most beautiful thing i ever seen and its way far for us to understand it. the weeknd is one of the kind singer and he is so underrated cause most of the people can't understand how deep this guy is.
Conor Rick Is he relating heartbreak felt from a woman to the heartbreak of a nation when Halie Selassie was overthrown by members of his council who were corrupted by western imperialist? I don't think i know much about Ethiopian history but i do know around this time that many other African nations were under European control in the form of colonization. I was hoping you could tell me more?
Conor Rick There is a great deal of occult symbolism in the video. I'm surprised no mention of the horned being in there who is Moloch, also symbolized by the owl you see showing up everywhere like the dollar bill, Will I Am videos, etc etc lol.. you see he's blinded or veiled as that symbolism is replete elsewhere, visits with 'aliens,' who should not be differentiated from Moloch or the other angels/angels - this brings up the image of Moloch shooting beams into the the divine femine (do not mistake the woman in the video for a human woman, we're talking about archetypal energies, and obviously female pertains to all animals/plants/etc), creating a certain geometry I can't recall the name of, but right angles of course. The inception of female menstruation, an act of her anger towards the divine masculine in retaliation for what he'd done when the world shifted from Lemuria (female ruled society) to Atlantis (male ruled society: obviously we are still in the age of Atlantis and America is the new Atlantis). Before then humans were androgynous and male/female were not separate, but now we get the vesica, separation, also synonymous with the reptilian Icke is talking about. Hardly about a break up lol although the metaphor obviously works on a more superficial level. You see the male/fire energy burning out, his obelisk/phallus/kundalini broken (inception of god - ask Muslims, they know their god is a fire god.. even tho christians worship the the same, they are mostly ignorant to this), then you see the water-baring females turning cold & icy, barren womb, brithing weak children (isis/$). Frustration, bottling, stagnation of emotions that are psychic blockages and an inversion/darkening of our life force in the faces of these people. The bovids shooting off into space lol(?) not sure on why they're taking off, possibly referring to mother government/mother church cutting humans from the original mother=Earth.. seems that imagery is supported by the very next image of beings landing looking like some occult types in the portrait. I can guarantee he did not orchestrate the symbolic storyline for this video on his own and that there was oversight by his handlers. He 'knows everything,' (at least he thinks it must be everything, cuz it's obviously more than most have any idea about) and he's not about to spell it out for anyone who isn't already in the know like myself who can watch subliminal programming like this and decode. 'The Weeknd,' is not an admirable character, he is weakened and will infect his listeners with his ailment no doubt.. nice voice and I do injoy his fondness for spacey/heavily reverbed beats and vocals, but what a waste.
Jeremiah 23. It’s the answer for all of us. The battle is already won, we’re just watching them fail and lose and fall. It’s more painful for us to watch cause we already won, praise God.
The first time I heard this song my heart dropped,and I fell in love with it. Its a story of a young man whose heart was broken,and was hidden from him until it came to light.The video alone is so captivating.And to top it all off, Abel reminds me so much of my oldest son, they could be brothers...So yes, everytime I hear this song, my mind body and soul goes to the thought of my son...Love this to death, as be my son...😢💔❤
Been listening to The Weekend since 2011. I miss when he was not mainstream. Me and my ex loved his underground stuff. He was unknown he was our secret, the tunes meant so much no one would know what we listened to. In the car cruising at night looking at the stars with the weekend playing we used to say he is so underrated. We were and are still the early number fans.
But how i been listening to this song since 2012 and now just discovered this bomb ass video. Istg The Weeknd speaks nothing but the truth in this video.
The video changed.... this wasn't the original video at all this is so weird. It went away for few years wasn't even on RUclips and now it's back but they've changed it almost completely.. so strange
I know what you did I know So I'ma let you taste her I ain't washing my sins I ain't washing my sins Now we're lying about the nights Hiding it all behind the smiles Take a look at what you did You probably thought that you'd break my heart You probably thought that you'd make me cry But baby it's okay I swear it's okay 'Cause I know everything I know everything I know everything I know everything Now these tops don't twist like they did before Tried to keep you out And you are done But baby it don't hurt Oh, like you thought it would The more of you the merrier Now we're lying about the nights Hiding it all behind the smiles Take a look at what you did, hey You probably thought that you'd break my heart You probably thought that you'd make me cry Baby it's okay It's okay I know everything I know everything I know everything I know everything Because no one can fucking post this
See for the last 7 years I’ve always thought he said “These tongues don’t twist like they did before, It’s hard to keep me up, And you are dry” Im still gonna sing it that way 😂
Arise Barbie Now these tongues don't twist like they did before It's hard to keep me up And you are dry But baby it don't hurt Oh, like you thought it would The more of you the merrier, oh, oh, oh, ooh These are the lyrics, from genius, lol so you were right! Lol he got me thinking I was singing them wrong as well
this song will always hold a special place of my heart. i felt so many emotions with this song, went thru fucked up relationship problems with this song. to this day whenever i hear this song, it’s like i’m reliving everything lol. god bless abel xo
This is the most meaningful song he's made in my opinion. I lived every syllable, word, and verse of this song. She lied. So I lied. She cheated. So I cheated. She thought I didn't know, but when daily routines and behaviors change, that's the tell-tale sign. She had his child. That brought tears to my eyes. So yeah, I hurt, even though I put up the semblance of joy and happiness. Best song on this album, out of the entire trilogy for me.
I knew there were others who thought the same. The Knowing will forever be my favorite track by him. The fact that he made an entire music video for it means a lot ! XO
The goosebumps are just as intense today as they were nearly a decade ago, when I first heard this absolute masterpiece. Man, I can never get over this MV and the VISUALS. He’s a masterful storyteller. Love you forever Abel 🥀🖤
A real time capsule. When i listen to this track, it takes me back to a time i saw everything so diferrently. Grateful i could experience this when it came out.
This was the first weeknd song I've ever heard. I cried tears. The year was 2011. Almost a decade later and I've yet to hear of an artist with this level of self expression. Maybe it's because no one can so beautifully paint pain like he can.
this gives me chills every time I hear it. I can't believe its only at five million views compared to his more popular songs. This deserves so much more attention. Abel truly shows his genius with this beautiful abstract portrayal.
people like spoon fed music, this song is pure art, brings joy hope, and sadness. especially when someone betrayed you, whether if they cheated or backstabbing etc
It burdens me that people are sleeping on this video. When this video came out I knew that my favorite artist would be recognized one day. Although his new fans disregard these original pieces.
this was the first song I had heard by the Weeknd about 9 years ago. I'm so glad I found his music back then because I've seen him grow. It sounds silly but I'm so proud of him for making a living out of his natural talent and his ability to reach so many people with his music. Love you, Abel
I miss the times and memories associated with his older stuff. I appreciated his growth as an artist throughout the years, and have appreciated the life soundtrack. Recent heartache has brought me to relive and relove the original mixtapes. Keep the hits coming brother. Much love
He is a good example of people thinking he was a nobody and the universe turning him into a somebody. It’s not a common path. But I feel it through his music.
Back in high school one summer night my cousin and I took lsd together and I remember vividly how amazing this song/video was. I was already a hard core fan but after that trip it just made me appreciate his music n music in general
LaTanya Adkins this song is super depressing it's acknowledging that his lover cheated on him and instead of confronting them about it they both cheat on each other, and pretend everything is ok when really Abel is extremely hurt
This is the safe place for us. All of us root fans... The ones who understand this video and all the symbology. The ones who understand how this all started. Before it became what it is right now. This is such a special place, isn’t it? Just look at this video...this is why we fell in love with Abel..
this song has to have one of the most beautiful intros ever. the first 20 seconds of the song with just the chords is the most beautiful sound ever made.
This song for sure helped me move on from a haunting heart break. The feels are good on this track my friends! This song should make a comeback well after we’re all gone. 🎈🏠🎉
This was the best spirtual knowledge anyone could share.. The meaning behind this video is so powerful.. He shared LIFE'S existence so this was over many heads... He just showed you literally the truth about how we were created in under 10 mins... He literally knows EVERYTHING!!! I cried once I fully comprehended this video..
People ignore the fact that the truth and explanation of this video is in the title itself “The Knowing”. People think the video is a mess because it’s not a cliche heartbreak video. It’s one of the most creative and deepest videos out there. Glad to see a few of us are woke
The mother land, Africa. Only those with roots to the motherland have “The Knowing”. This melody (and many others through time) tricks you into believing you know everything. He who knew everything knew he knew nothing at all. The truth is only revealed in death. Create your reality, Love your truth. Even if in the end it’s all a lie.
U just changed the taste of my music..It can,t be described in words.So many good songs from a single man,, U r living legend,Abel..Love ur each and every songs

Well said. I agree
I love Weekend, so I agree mostly except the video part. Check out Tool, all there videos are like this😏
I swear if Abel wasn’t shy then and had the budget, he would’ve made this an actual short movie.
It already IS an actual short movie, the animation is beautiful!
He was really shy😂😂
Man, It's 2022 and this masterpiece never gets old. His music will live forever
listen to the slow and reverb version it made me bawl tears😅 I promise it's worth it

That is why he turns into his father at the end, because not only did Abel persevere, but he also did so in the name of King Selassie as well.
In both scenarios, Abel and his father (in the story) end up standing over the people who wronged them; as they were both unbreakable and unshaken. Good people always get the last laugh, though it may be hard.

nope. false alarm really...

I’ve never cried this much to any song before. In my opinion, this is still the best song he’s ever made
After a hard breakup I cried to this
I wish if there were private concerts just for the fans who truly appreciate his old music where he sings for us all the sad/dark songs and we all just sit quietly listening to the most beautiful voice we've ever heard.
Here's a wish list:
The knowing
The party & after the party
The birds 2
The zone
High for this
Professional
Coming down
Echoes of silence
Rolling Stone
Wicked games
Gone
in vein
Same old song
Birthday suit (i dnt think he would)
Valerie
Nomads
The list goes on but these r my TOP TOP TOP TOP favorites
now before u attack me
1- English is not my first language
2- I didn't mention new or old fans
I meant all the fans WHO APPRECIATE the old songs of his. I have 2 friends who just started listening to him this year and the deeper they dig into old songs the more the fall in love.
Add your favs
yes yes! he should definitely do something like that
Montreal and echoes of silence are really good
real talk
Same Old Song, In Vein (Even Tho He Was Just Featured On That), Valerie, Rolling Stone, (Another Feature) But Remember You, Crew Love, Dirty Diana Cover, Echoes Of Silence, Next & So Much More... I Listen To All Types Of Music & It's Weird Cuz Since I'm Black & Hood Everyone Thinks I Only Listen To Rap 😂💯
This comment is true and I wish that would happen but there still was a okay fan base for people who truly want to go to concerts for the music not to be there because you barley know Abel's music but I like this idea :)
The fact that this has only 7.6 million views amazes me. Such a beautiful song and the deeper meaning behind this music video is insane.
Right though, I feel this song may not be for everyone
Underrated songs always turn out to be the greatest for some reason
Longer music videos are always the ones with less views, it seems, and it’s quite sad, really.
Sadly everyone likes idiots like Lil Pump and 6ix9ine's 'music'. I mean, 1 Billion for Gucci Gang?! I lost faith in humanity after that
Yes listened to this 7 years back that time it had around 4-5 million views
Id why but i personally felt bad when he was not nominated for a single grammy so i ended up being here. I love you abel.
Has he won and in his lifetime?
@@juliustetevano6113 he had won 3grammys
@@juliustetevano6113 he has but he definitely deserved some this year.
I hope Abel knows how many lives he’s touched and saved with his art
And taken
Once you hear the 'Trilogy', you can never go back... 'Beauty Behind the Madness' is the surface depth of Abel's abilities. And I thought 'Beauty Behind the Madness' was a good album. His older works make that stark in comparison.
Completely agree. I feel like Trilogy and Kiss Land are the only albums I can listen to anymore, anything else just feels..wrong
Really? I felt like BBTM was on par with his other works. The only exception would maybe be House of Balloons. Idk, maybe I'm crazy.
+Varton Sarkissian I really, REALLY don't like BBTM because to me it sounds like he's trying to be something he's not. Like he sounds really fake for most of the tracks for me. Of course, Often, The Hills, and Can't Feel My Face are all quite good but they don't mean as much to me like almost every song from Trilogy and Kiss Land does. But I understand why other people like it. I just don't like to hear The Weeknd making happy-ish music. Fuck that he needs to constantly be depressed!
Idk, I like the transition from depressed to somewhat happy. Plus, I'm a huge Prince fan, so I'm down to hear him use those pop and rock inspirations. I will say this though, BBTM didn't really have a cohesive style or theme. Either way, I thought it popped. To each their own I guess
in my opinion...and this is coming from a person who has been listening to the Weeknd for a while...(since 2011) I believe that bbtm reflected the very best of Abel's abilities. He was coming out of his shell. I believe it told just as much of a story as trilogy and kiss land had. I don't think it is a "sell out album" (best way I can explain) , but just another part of him that he expressed through it Not even so much a different part. Everyone and every artist has layers. His vocals still were gold and his beats magic and it still was his sound.
Didn’t know how much I missed his old music until now
Girl same. I'm like damn this shit hittin why did I ever stop listening to trilogy 😩
As an Ethiopian am so proud of this man Able Tesfaye he has a talent that’s so unique and not many people posses. His mindset to make great music is something truly rare in this day and age. 🖤🇪🇹🖤
do u understood the meaning??
@@user-youtubesubscription Yeah, It's Amharic.
As Ethiopian this guys is evil .
@@ethioboys10what do you mean by evil? What does this sing represent?
@@boualbanisally4009I ask the same thing. Is he referring to the Emperor?
his music will truly live forever
I think that the weeknd is a fucking genius. he made this video. he formed these lyrics. In the hope that we will discuss it's meaning. he didn't want it to be blatant. he didn't want it to be simple. because that's not what life is. life is not simple. Life is not always obvious. With people taking that into consideration. I hope that the music industry changes. I hope it moves in the direction of people trying to think about what they're listening too. Music can make people smarter. Think faster, act quicker, feel euphoria, overcome adversity. But with the current mainstream music. it only degrades woman, makes people unintelligent and think less. Props to the weeknd. you've got my ear.
SPartanFTW my bih love doing cocaine

@@MrIlija123456 idk why I responded with this I'm trying to remember
@@woesxo what you said just reminds me of the new rappers hahahaha, the biggest fuckhead out of all of em says ma bih do cocaine
this song has a meaning i could never explain and it’s such a painful one, yet i will always have a bond with it.
Hits even deeper when you realize they are using the betrayal in the song as metaphor for Emperor Selassie being betrayed and killed by his own people during the communist revolution.
I know every thing king Selassie
He betrayed his people first
OHJ10 .10 What did he do?
And a communist revolution is happening right under our eyes in our own country
@@leiasiapatterson349 Perfect, I'd rather be ruled by communists than American Republicans. They're the death to true democracy
This song encompasses everything that is Abel. Deep, sweet, dark haunting and forever knowing.
I'm hopelessly in love with this era of The weeknd's music. It brings back so many memories. An echo of another place, another time.
I wish I could go back.
The Trilogy my favorite album of all time.
You need to get off the internet just off saying that....
+Samantha Marie stfu it's true
It's a compilation of three mixtapes
not an album
+Samantha Marie why are you like that? He said his favorite, not the best of all time. And I completely agree with Slump Man. The Trilogy is constantly battling 808s and Heartbreak for my favorite album.
The Weeknd is a great artist who happens to be habesha (Ethiopian) just like me. And I think it's wonderful that he remembers where he is from and that he is demolishing all these stereotypes about not only Ethiopians, but Africans in general. He's also doing something that no one has seen before and that's what makes him so great. Keep on doing what you're doing man.
every single one of abel’s songs is unmatched by any other artist, i love him sm
I've come to realize that people who are immature don't like and/or can't connect to this very talented man's songs. I applaud those of you who are mature and can relate to this amazing artist. Best artist of the modern day. Go Abel.
You do know you're coming off as pretentiously immature, right?
I'm immature and I love this song. Did I break the matrix?
i don't think so, i could never think of myself as 'mature' because then i would get ideas about feeling old or boring. i listen to this when i want to connect with music on a deep personal level, or to relax, i listen to other types of music for different vibes, i don't think being mature or immature has much to do with it at all really, its merely an appreciation of a chosen artist that brought people here. shake away your judgements and become at peace with yourself instead of judging others
this song sucks ass juice from a dead Dingo
DevilsBathtub only you would know what that taste like.
I'm really proud to see Ethiopia heritages in this song🇪🇹😪

He is royalty my friend. Just gotta follow the rabbit hole. They migrated from Ethiopia soon after the dethroning of the emperor. Strange as it seems, he told us himself at the beginning of the track. "bring me the dead emperor" and he pops by the cross ,next to the arc of the covenant,(which i believe is a sort of tomb or chamber) up as if he is either a descendant or a reincarnation. Ethiopians are the real hebrew peoples. Not these melaninless phonies we call isrealites now a days.
This video and song together speaks volumes to the times we're in when it comes to relationships and how we are Gods and Goddesses trying to protect our own planets(hearts)...this is as real as it gets and The Weeknd didn't direct the video but it defines the lyrics of the song to the tee. Respect to a living legend.
This is art, it¨s the perfect definition of what i call it, and no one it¨s going to change my mind, the cinematography, of this is just, beauty...
i will miss her...
Yo The Weeknd is the shit...you can tell he's been through some real shit and I think we all appreciate the way he expresses it...we who can relate just zone out to his music...can't explain it...
This man has the greatest voice On this planet
"cuz I know everything "..... the mystery in his music and along with its darkness... such a talemted tormented person.
if you're listening to this in 2021.. baby its okayyyy!!!!
for all the people who are saying how this is a song about break up and cheating you're totally wrong. In the first of the video you can listen there is Amharic(the common language spoken in Ethopia) And the past president haile selassie being arrested and the the heart being throwed to the lions. I think this video is one of the most beautiful thing i ever seen and its way far for us to understand it. the weeknd is one of the kind singer and he is so underrated cause most of the people can't understand how deep this guy is.
Conor Rick Is he relating heartbreak felt from a woman to the heartbreak of a nation when Halie Selassie was overthrown by members of his council who were corrupted by western imperialist? I don't think i know much about Ethiopian history but i do know around this time that many other African nations were under European control in the form of colonization. I was hoping you could tell me more?
Amen!!!
Conor Rick seen you again lol.
Eddy Ruiz lol where was the first time 😂😂??
Conor Rick There is a great deal of occult symbolism in the video. I'm surprised no mention of the horned being in there who is Moloch, also symbolized by the owl you see showing up everywhere like the dollar bill, Will I Am videos, etc etc lol.. you see he's blinded or veiled as that symbolism is replete elsewhere, visits with 'aliens,' who should not be differentiated from Moloch or the other angels/angels - this brings up the image of Moloch shooting beams into the the divine femine (do not mistake the woman in the video for a human woman, we're talking about archetypal energies, and obviously female pertains to all animals/plants/etc), creating a certain geometry I can't recall the name of, but right angles of course. The inception of female menstruation, an act of her anger towards the divine masculine in retaliation for what he'd done when the world shifted from Lemuria (female ruled society) to Atlantis (male ruled society: obviously we are still in the age of Atlantis and America is the new Atlantis). Before then humans were androgynous and male/female were not separate, but now we get the vesica, separation, also synonymous with the reptilian Icke is talking about. Hardly about a break up lol although the metaphor obviously works on a more superficial level. You see the male/fire energy burning out, his obelisk/phallus/kundalini broken (inception of god - ask Muslims, they know their god is a fire god.. even tho christians worship the the same, they are mostly ignorant to this), then you see the water-baring females turning cold & icy, barren womb, brithing weak children (isis/$). Frustration, bottling, stagnation of emotions that are psychic blockages and an inversion/darkening of our life force in the faces of these people. The bovids shooting off into space lol(?) not sure on why they're taking off, possibly referring to mother government/mother church cutting humans from the original mother=Earth.. seems that imagery is supported by the very next image of beings landing looking like some occult types in the portrait. I can guarantee he did not orchestrate the symbolic storyline for this video on his own and that there was oversight by his handlers. He 'knows everything,' (at least he thinks it must be everything, cuz it's obviously more than most have any idea about) and he's not about to spell it out for anyone who isn't already in the know like myself who can watch subliminal programming like this and decode. 'The Weeknd,' is not an admirable character, he is weakened and will infect his listeners with his ailment no doubt.. nice voice and I do injoy his fondness for spacey/heavily reverbed beats and vocals, but what a waste.
You can truly hear and feel the passion in his music
What's your ig?

When you're not a depressed person but you cry listening to this anyway lol

The first time I heard this song my heart dropped,and I fell in love with it. Its a story of a young man whose heart was broken,and was hidden from him until it came to light.The video alone is so captivating.And to top it all off, Abel reminds me so much of my oldest son, they could be brothers...So yes, everytime I hear this song, my mind body and soul goes to the thought of my son...Love this to death, as be my son...😢💔❤
Man sorry about you Bro but I'm happy you listen to weeknd cz it's the remedy
when i wanna get in my zone this song helps alot !
This Shit Is So Deep & Has So Many Meanings....The Weeknd Is REPPIN East Africa Good
He is repping us 🇪🇹🇪🇹🇪🇹🇪🇹🇪🇹
Been listening to The Weekend since 2011. I miss when he was not mainstream. Me and my ex loved his underground stuff. He was unknown he was our secret, the tunes meant so much no one would know what we listened to. In the car cruising at night looking at the stars with the weekend playing we used to say he is so underrated. We were and are still the early number fans.
But how i been listening to this song since 2012 and now just discovered this bomb ass video. Istg The Weeknd speaks nothing but the truth in this video.
...
+Nia Scott he disabled the video for like a couple years lol
I know I thought it was fake lmao
so easy to find tho
The video changed.... this wasn't the original video at all this is so weird. It went away for few years wasn't even on RUclips and now it's back but they've changed it almost completely.. so strange
This guy is truly an enigma. All his songs gets me thinking deep. A true masterpiece
One of the greatest and most underrated artist of our generation! And his videos are the sh!t!
Underrated?
Jay J and some people havent heard of his first mixtapes yet
His work is so soulful and powerful. Thank you Abel for becoming the best version of yourself and letting us watch.
What's your ig?
I know what you did
I know
So I'ma let you taste her
I ain't washing my sins
I ain't washing my sins
Now we're lying about the nights
Hiding it all behind the smiles
Take a look at what you did
You probably thought that you'd break my heart
You probably thought that you'd make me cry
But baby it's okay
I swear it's okay
'Cause I know everything
I know everything
I know everything
I know everything
Now these tops don't twist like they did before
Tried to keep you out
And you are done
But baby it don't hurt
Oh, like you thought it would
The more of you the merrier
Now we're lying about the nights
Hiding it all behind the smiles
Take a look at what you did, hey
You probably thought that you'd break my heart
You probably thought that you'd make me cry
Baby it's okay
It's okay
I know everything
I know everything
I know everything
I know everything
Because no one can fucking post this
The original J_dizzle75 LAUGH OUT LOUUUUD. Thanks anyways bro XD
See for the last 7 years I’ve always thought he said
“These tongues don’t twist like they did before,
It’s hard to keep me up,
And you are dry”
Im still gonna sing it that way 😂
Arise Barbie Now these tongues don't twist like they did before It's hard to keep me up And you are dry But baby it don't hurt Oh, like you thought it would The more of you the merrier, oh, oh, oh, ooh
These are the lyrics, from genius, lol so you were right! Lol he got me thinking I was singing them wrong as well
He said taste HURT
I thought he said 'are u on drugs?' instead of 'and u are done' lmaoaoaooaoa
Never knew it was a video for it.. wow!
this song will always hold a special place of my heart. i felt so many emotions with this song, went thru fucked up relationship problems with this song. to this day whenever i hear this song, it’s like i’m reliving everything lol. god bless abel xo
This is the most meaningful song he's made in my opinion. I lived every syllable, word, and verse of this song.
She lied. So I lied.
She cheated. So I cheated.
She thought I didn't know, but when daily routines and behaviors change, that's the tell-tale sign.
She had his child. That brought tears to my eyes.
So yeah, I hurt, even though I put up the semblance of joy and happiness.
Best song on this album, out of the entire trilogy for me.
where the kid part come from?
I knew there were others who thought the same. The Knowing will forever be my favorite track by him. The fact that he made an entire music video for it means a lot ! XO
Same
is the little giraffe dude the kid? that's what i understand from this guys post
hiusmellnice Thought it was a fucking horse.
His music is the most beautiful piece of art I've ever heard, makes you not wanna here any other artist.
The goosebumps are just as intense today as they were nearly a decade ago, when I first heard this absolute masterpiece. Man, I can never get over this MV and the VISUALS. He’s a masterful storyteller. Love you forever Abel 🥀🖤
His best days. Trilogy and Kissland era. Still a powerful song and this music video is timeless.
9 years later still my favorite!!!!
10 years today 🖤
The weeknd before the mainstream audience
A real time capsule. When i listen to this track, it takes me back to a time i saw everything so diferrently. Grateful i could experience this when it came out.
This was the first weeknd song I've ever heard. I cried tears. The year was 2011. Almost a decade later and I've yet to hear of an artist with this level of self expression. Maybe it's because no one can so beautifully paint pain like he can.
Wow, amharic intro! great job Abel for keeping your Ethiopian culture close at heart.
Repping XO and East Africa
this gives me chills every time I hear it. I can't believe its only at five million views compared to his more popular songs. This deserves so much more attention. Abel truly shows his genius with this beautiful abstract portrayal.
people like spoon fed music, this song is pure art, brings joy hope, and sadness. especially when someone betrayed you, whether if they cheated or backstabbing etc
Bring these songs back! Love the weeknd ❤️❤️❤️❤️ 2024??
It burdens me that people are sleeping on this video. When this video came out I knew that my favorite artist would be recognized one day. Although his new fans disregard these original pieces.
this was the first song I had heard by the Weeknd about 9 years ago. I'm so glad I found his music back then because I've seen him grow. It sounds silly but I'm so proud of him for making a living out of his natural talent and his ability to reach so many people with his music. Love you, Abel
I miss the times and memories associated with his older stuff. I appreciated his growth as an artist throughout the years, and have appreciated the life soundtrack.
Recent heartache has brought me to relive and relove the original mixtapes.
Keep the hits coming brother. Much love
this is my favorite song ever. the meaning, melody, vocals, visuals, literally EVERYTHING touches ur soul.
I continue to find myself back to this song. Words cant explain how great this song is.
What's your ig
5:01 Why does no one talk about this legendary vocal he hit?
Yes really someone said this.
Also 05:23
He is a good example of people thinking he was a nobody and the universe turning him into a somebody. It’s not a common path. But I feel it through his music.
We're under siege
Back in high school one summer night my cousin and I took lsd together and I remember vividly how amazing this song/video was. I was already a hard core fan but after that trip it just made me appreciate his music n music in general
This song speaks to my soul even when I am happy.....nothing is depressing about this song, but most people believe it is.
LaTanya Adkins not depressing, where
LaTanya Adkins this song is super depressing it's acknowledging that his lover cheated on him and instead of confronting them about it they both cheat on each other, and pretend everything is ok when really Abel is extremely hurt
LaTanya Adkins RIGHT!!
LaTanya Adkins , not depressing just reminds me i did know everything , and that butch couldnt pay us
For each it's own, 50/50 but it's depressing
This is the safe place for us. All of us root fans... The ones who understand this video and all the symbology. The ones who understand how this all started. Before it became what it is right now. This is such a special place, isn’t it? Just look at this video...this is why we fell in love with Abel..
You just fake
symbology💀
So you understand all this symbolism? Explain to me in paragraph form what the fuck this video means then

why are you trying to

Es mejor no compartir las cosas buenas
Some of that million might be from me 💀 I play this song so many times ever since it came out
The people do love their cocaine
it makes me happier knowing its just us
god bless his beautiful soul !
This song for sure helped me move on from a haunting heart break. The feels are good on this track my friends! This song should make a comeback well after we’re all gone. 🎈🏠🎉
This was the best spirtual knowledge anyone could share.. The meaning behind this video is so powerful.. He shared LIFE'S existence so this was over many heads... He just showed you literally the truth about how we were created in under 10 mins... He literally knows EVERYTHING!!! I cried once I fully comprehended this video..
i thought it was me alone.
People ignore the fact that the truth and explanation of this video is in the title itself “The Knowing”. People think the video is a mess because it’s not a cliche heartbreak video. It’s one of the most creative and deepest videos out there. Glad to see a few of us are woke
There are few times in my years of music listening in which I can say that a song has given me goose bumps......this song does that to me every time.
This entire piece is quite amazing, the video and music go well together. This is a work of art!!!
Big Up Habesha... i am happy to see it even if i am late .. so much our Ethiopian signs ... proud to be ur race ... Silassian
so many emotions with this man's music. he is truly an artist inside and out. beautiful
THE most underrated song still giving me chills like it all happened yesterday. Thank you for translating what we all feel. 2020 still vibing.
Its ethiopian history
The mother land, Africa. Only those with roots to the motherland have “The Knowing”. This melody (and many others through time) tricks you into believing you know everything. He who knew everything knew he knew nothing at all. The truth is only revealed in death. Create your reality, Love your truth. Even if in the end it’s all a lie.
Amazing
This is a sad song. Nobody deserves to suffer loss.
