The Weeknd's "How Do I Make You Love Me" music video, drawn by yours truly (click the green flag for a sample) BREAKDOWN: In a follow up video from "Out Of Time" starring Jim Carrey and Hoyeon (yes, #67 from Squid Game) The Weeknd is being pulled deeper and deeper into the narrative that is Dawn FM. The video delves deep into Abel's new cosmetics, after the "doctor" Jim had put on a new face for Abel. Abel finds himself being hurdled out of an office building, facing the horror of his new self. With a giant moth blowing everyone away in the city, Abel finds his karaoke buddy, but sadly she deflates. He tries to reinflate the husk, only to find his past self in "After Hours". Sporting the legendary red suit, the "balloon" of himself is crushing everything it comes across. (including the big moth) He escapes through a sewage drain where he is ambushed by a thing. (Note: this was the "man" in the hospital bed beside him in the beginning) He escapes it narrowly dodging the closing walls. He stumbles, and finds himself in an elevator. The elevator opens up to an apartment complex. As Abel slowly crawls along the hall, his Karaoke bud is doing some gardening. The Weeknd bops his head against the door, trying to get the mask on his face to shatter. When the door opens, she's shocked to find an old version of Abel. (A disfigured version of the old Abel on the album cover) She screams, and slams the door. The Weeknd is now just a husk. With smaller limbs underneath the bigger, old man limbs, he collapses. A child (presumably Snowchild, or the boy from the for *i will R.I.P for you* video) emerges from the shell that is his future self. It ends here, as the flow to "Take My Breath" starts. Perhaps this will make more sense as future videos come out. I can guarantee nobody will read this lol :/
how fitting that this would be released on Selena Gomez's birthday. abel don't sue me
