I, like many others have noticed that there seems to be a linear progression with the visual content that The Weeknd and XO have been pushing for this record. These visual images seem to include music videos, late night show appearances, and social media posts. I figured that it would be a good idea to place all of the videos in a thread where one can conveniently get an idea of the story by placing the clips in chronological order. I'm going to leave the themes that Weeknd is trying to portray up to individual interpretation because people's attempts at trying to dissect these things usually comes across as being corny. Anyway, this is After Hours.
Album Title Trailer
Heartless Music Video
Blinding Lights Music Video
Blinding Lights (live on Jimmy Kimmel)
After Hours Short Film
Scared To Live (live on SNL)
March 17th
March 18th
March 19th
March 21st
clips that don't fit the narrative (or am uncertain as to where they fit)
I feel like scared to live may fit but that remains to be seen
i think it goes
Album Title to Heartless
because abel is riding in the same car he pulls up to casino with metro in the Heartless
also i like to think the Album Title video is the title card to the storyline.

I was thinking about this too
but considering that the late night performances seem to also be part of the storyline, the album title vid could also be Abel traveling from Vegas to LA?

actually you're right
i assumed the car in the album title trailer was the same mercedez that was prominently featured in blinding lights but it isn't
