Washed Out - Amor Fati [OFFICIAL VIDEO] 

This song came into my life 4 years ago when I was extremely depressed and heartbroken one winter. Finally when I was picking up the pieces of myself again, trying to get active and going to the gym and making myself happy, I started to see the light and this song rang constantly in my ears-- convincing me that my life had meaning and all of this pain could build me into a stronger person. Whenever I hear this song, I smile because it always makes me remember that we were made to grow and change-- and that life is a beautiful gift regardless of the pain. It ALWAYS gives me this sense of beautiful neverending hope. Thank you, Washed Out. ♥️

Amor fati is a Latin phrase loosely translating to "love of fate" or "love of one's fate". It is used to describe an attitude in which one sees everything that happens in one's life, including suffering and loss, as good.

As I near the end of my 40th year on earth, I listen to and watch this with a very melancholy feeling. Reminds me of younger times when I wasn't as tied down as I am now. Kids are wonderful but I miss the irresponsibility of youth.

Iceland ❤️ literally couldn't have picked a better place for this song

I forgot about this song until I found it on my dearest friend’s old phone yesterday. I played it in my car driving to a New Year’s Eve party in 2012 and she said “I love this song!” And I just found it in her Shazam app, maybe she did it that night. She’s been gone eight years and I love the way these songs we both loved can make me feel close to her again.

Iceland was the very first country I visited internationally, right after my mom died. That country brought so much happiness and joy back to me.

every day is a new path of self discovery. keep your head up and your heart beating; it gets better

Aaaaaand just like that my 20s are over. This music will always bring me back to that special period of time in my life.

I'm now in my 50th year in existence and though I enjoy my life now, there are many times when I wish I'd traveled more and seen more of the world. I've seen much more than most people, but still, the wanderlust is strong and has only slightly waned over the decades as I've grown older and less mobile. The fleeting bliss of youth will always be the greener pastures just over the rise.

I saw Washed Out at the Treasure Island Music Festival. I've never felt such overwhelming happiness that it made me cry, but they did it. They only had an hour for their very last tour show, and I got to see it. I felt so blessed.

I remember driving the remote desert roads between Arizona and Nevada jammin out to this album in my 09 Hyundai Accent at 19 years old. Vibes man

First heard this song in 2011, made love to it with one of the great loves of my life in a memory I'll never forget. Fast forward many years later, it came to represent a cross-country move I did, then another one in reverse. I didn't chase sheep or hitch hike with bikers or bathe under waterfalls, but I did see vistas and landscapes that are just as striking if not moreso than in the video, and I felt a lot of the same feelings that the video invokes. Great stuff.

It's friggin impossible to listen then and not feel euphoria. They're happiness incarnate.

This music makes you wanna be positive and look at life in a better light.

I can't believe this is 12 years old...where the hell has the time gone? It's such a perfect video-song combination, and always makes me think of travelling and exploring - but now I'm nearly 40, so it also makes me feel a bit melancholic as I mourn my lost youth!

MR ORCHARD if you ever find yourself looking through the comments for this video, thank you for introducing me to this music. I hope you're doing well, never told you that you were my favorite teacher and that I appreciated all the ways you tried to help me even though I still didn't give me best effort. Thank you

Just found the song I'll be playing on repeat for the next few weeks.

A really good example of a music video. It's not groundbreaking, it serves as the perfect imagery to an amazing song. Love it.

This song makes me think of how big this world is and how it's full of nature, roads, how much adventures are awaiting to happen, too bad it's too big when have such little time to explore!!!

Found this song in a very tumultuous time in my life. Full of change, strife, pressure, anxiety, self-doubt... this song helped. Especially the lyrics "You'll be alright in time." The imagery in this video really drive the message of this song home: Live life to the fullest but in the end all things are transient and that's OK.

Every time I hear this song it gives me chills. I hold so much pain and anger and music like this makes me feel free and relaxed. Two things I need to cope in the world we live in. This world is so cruel yet so beautiful. Let's make it a better place. Their is always hope! AMOR FATI

AND FOR A MOMENT, I FEEL INFINITE

I met the the love of my life to this song. We also lost the love of our life, our daughter. I can’t think of a better song to explain how I feel about all this.

Seeing less than 2 million views for this makes me wonder how many absolute masterpiece songs I've missed through the years. Likely countless.

The only song that can calm me down after a rough day

Can’t believe this song has been out for over 8 years and I suddenly just heard it yesterday. Such a beauty! Loving the video and the chap in it.

Heard this live and it changed my life. Never felt anything so surreal. I was the happiest I had ever been when I discovered not only this band but the song. Thank you

So hypnotic and beautiful. If only we could all just take up and travel. I searched for a translation of the lyrics and fell in love with all the creative analogies presented. The song covers religion, war and all else without even saying it. So clever! Don't we all want to run away from the world sometimes? I know I do!!!

Don't try, to find What's not your fault Let go, reach out The choice is yours to find Inside, you've got The light to guide Your faith decides The world's your goal to find Relax, slow down Let hope, decide Even though it's hard to forgive When you can't just fall in love Just to know your thoughts you know that You'll be all right in time Inside, you've got The light to guide Your faith decides The world you’re going to find

I was thinking about leaving the world, but this song gave me hope.

Traveling is the biggest soul searching journey. I keep amor fati on a bracelet on my wrist. Beautiful message , i cry watching this video it gives me so many good feelings and nostalgia. always i will stay on the road. backpacking 4 life 💖

It seems like yesterday that I heard this song for the first time. 10 years have passed and I still remember that moment It's amazing how time goes by so fast. Hundreds and hundreds of stories since then. Life is short and we must enjoy every second. Thank you Ernest for sharing songs that change our lives.

Play this at my funeral.

This song absolutely moves my soul right now

Bands like these guys living in the now have brought you back to the 80s pop rock so you'll never forget how great the music was and still is.

you'll be alright in time ♡

This song came out right after I left my small hometown and moved clear across the country. This is the soundtrack of me finally growing into my own as an adult and being independent, but also still being young enough to not be tied down.

I just wanted to say thankyou washed out this song has really helped me im going threw alot and this is what I needed 2 hear im thankful 2god that people can still make great songs with meaning 2 help others.

and here we are 8 years later....still loving Amor Fati.

This is my favorite song by washed out I always feel like inspired to do something listening to this .

Best synergy of music, lyric and video theme of the past decade. All three scream "wanderlust". They trigger a desire to explore the world and it's beauty. New people, new places. It's exactly how I felt backpacking in France. Brilliant song. Spectacular music video.

The posted comment about this song making you feel positive and looking at life in a better light is so spot on. Without a doubt, a gem that inspires hope in the infinity that is music and such a standout from today's modern garbage.

2011 was a year of music for me..... this song aged well among other tracks

I go on epic 12hr hikes every weekend and when this song comes up, I'm like hell yeah! Perfect song for occasion

One of the most mesmerizingly beautiful songs I've ever heard

I left California to take a bus to Florida. I played this song along the way. I think im ready to go back home now. I miss Cali..! 😢

suddenly have this desire to go travel through Europe for a month or two...

This song and video give faith to the human soul.

One of the best songs of the past decade. It's just brilliant.

This is such an amazing song. Very nostalgic and relaxing.

This video is a good visual summation as to why it's good to travel and expose yourself to new things (like Iceland!) when you're young.

This track was the push to get me over the line, over a devastating heartbreak and to move forward. Travelled and had alot fun, with the hurt been the best thing that ever happened to change my life and experience and see things I never would of. Thankyou Washed Out from over 8-10years when I found you and this track. ❤️❤️

This song come into my life! When I lost the love of my life! Lost! Depressed! Wondering alone! Love this song!!

I sometimes feel trapped by my life, my debts, my background. I can't just go off and do what I want. I am restricted in some ways. But I can free myself in some other ways. It's good to have songs like this to remind myself of that.

Love this band. Nostalgic,melancholy,love,excitement. So much wrapped up in this band

I found out this song back in 2012 during my uni years… I fell in love with a guy mainly because of his music taste, so it was him to introduce me to this song… from that moment till now this masterpiece had accompanied me through all crucial events of my life. Covid, war in my homeland, depression and getting an addiction because of all the sh*t that was happening in my life… Today I’m out of depression and addiction that ruined last years of my life, and this song is my anthem, since we must love everything that happens, good or bad. Challenges are meant to make you a better version of yourself. Hugs to everyone who is suffering and struggling now.

traveling and musick...the ultimate remedy.

I love you Washed Out, and I hope to meet you in the future and tell you how much you've helped me through your music.

i discovered this song today with a friend and it came just at the right time. i just want to cry listening to this all night. cry to get rid of all my fears, my pain...

going to iceland next month. woop woop!

i'll never get over this song

…"your faith decides, the roads you are going to find".

Fucking beautiful. Sometimes we humans just nail it, like this.

this song not only leaves me speechless but...it takes me to another world where i can no longer feel pain, and also to journey all around to find my true self.

I love this song SO much. I didn't know there was a video! Awesome :)

i cry watching this almost every time..this speaks to me on a spiritual level

This song couldn't have come to me in the most fitting situation. I made friends with people on Discord. When I wasn't at work or with friends locally, I was meeting up with these people online. There were talks about meeting up in real life for years. Then one day it happened. Last month, I flew from California to Massachusetts to meet up with said people in real life. I was hanging out with 4 of them at a Marriott in Tewksbury, MA before we were set to meet up with the rest of the Discord folks in Maine. The next day, we went downstairs to eat breakfast in the dining area of said Marriott. The first song I heard as I was grabbing food was this song. And wow, what a fitting song to listen to that was about to describe the rest of the week with these people! It ended up being one of the best vacations I could ever ask for. Everyone had a great time and there was absolutely no drama. Got to experience many first time activities, with my most favorite one being able to watch the eclipse. We had no idea what fate had in store for us, and I'm sure none of us thought that it would leads us down to the experiences that we had last month. When I think of how fun that week was, I immediately think of this song.

Probably already said this and I'm sure it's been said before, one of the best music videos ever. David Fincher with its editing.

I was in a real sad mood before this song. *is this magic?*

Such a great flow to this song. Very talented young man.

This song always grounds me. The lyrics and melody together are like a meditation. Thank you for this beautiful piece of art, it means a lot to me

Easily one of my favorite songs of all time. Thank you, Washed Out. No matter how dark the moment, this song makes me love my fate. You set the stars with this one.

this song made me want to travel again

I love the scenery in this so much. Awesome video.

The sun shining warmly, the breeze hitting your face, good music, good friends, good food, and traveling through nature. The best combination.

Magic, a whole lot of magic. This video is a dream for my wife and I but we’re currently trapped living the “American dream”. True freedom is what’s this video is all about.

In love with this video and song

Ernest keeping chillwave floating along.

Even without knowing the lyrics until now, I've always lived my life this way. It's also how I tell others to live their lives. I love you all.

Sometimes we all need to get out, away in nature to find ourselves. Clear our minds and find the right path.

A very healing song.

Kinda getting a "Frodo going on a modern day quest" vibe from this video.

Heard this just a couple yrs ago after listening to. arty together we are music video ..it never gets old! I cant believe this song came out like 9 years ago !! .and I love this song!!!..

Love Washed out & this just brings the wanderlust out in me!

Iceland, the place to find yourself.

Não consigo explicar o quanto gosto desta música. ❤️

Life is full of battles, and we are the unearthly warriors chosen to fight them. You can do this - it is one’s fate, after all. And even when times get tough, always know that you are not alone...alas, today can not be changed, but tomorrow always presents to us a new beginning. So remember to keep your head held high, and never _ever_ give up on what you believe in

still my favorite song of all time 🥲

( *_Lyrics_*_ as sourced by _*_Musixmatch :_* ) Don't try to fight What's not your fault Let go, reach out The choice is yours to find Inside you've got The light to guide Your fate decides The roads you're going to find. Relax, slow down Let hope decide. Even though it's hard to forget When you can't afford love Chasing all your thoughts you know that You'll be all right in time. Inside you've got The light to guide Your fate decides The roads you're going to find. Inside you've got The light to guide Your fate decides The roads you're going to find.

Muito boa. Essa música incrível

I keep coming back to this song and video... it never gets old. Fills me with hope and inspiration.

i went to Bali last year by myself and i seat on the sand and watching the waves and the sunset, playing this song , definitely changed my life

Such inspirational music and very versatile...this honestly gives me motivation to make music, with better intentions then the mainstream..

Reminds me of "Into the Wild" about Chris McCandless

This singer has a beautiful soul❤absolutely love every piece✨

Ernest Greene, you never cease to amaze me. How can you make every song so soothing?

The secret life of Frodo baggins

My favorite song from Washed Out (next to Feel it all Around). I still plan on getting "Amor Fati" tattooed on my forearm or wrist in the near future.

my heart breaks for this song. in the most beautiful way

One of the best videos in history for conveying the song's message... feeling.
