What are your memories of this track? 👇
My best memories are that I accidentally came across the track Fade and then I searched for who was the artist of the track Fade and I found it with the song faded and that's when I became a fan of Alan walker

Tiësto - Adagio For Strings
Skipping it when it comes on
Very clear! Fall 2016 we were listening it during a week in my friend's appartment in NYC. When leaving heard it in JFK terminal/pub, had to go sit to a gate for crying. Not only cause it's one of the most beatufull EDM, also knowing not coming back, cause he was moving out from Manhattan to Providence. 😢

Thanks for having! It was a pleasure going back in time with you guys 🙏🏻
Hey, you are my inspiration of making music, I started it when I was 11 (the last week before I turned 12) also in that year I asked u (2022) if you would like to collaborate with me, and u said "keep making music and who knows maybe one day our paths will cross 🙏🏻" and as a 12 year old girl this really made me excited and I decided that I never gonna give up on my dreams! Also last year I got bullied cuz my classmates thinks that I am too childish cuz I listen to your songs and cuz of many much things, and I was totally broken inside I felt like I have no one left in this world, I almost got depressed, and then I listened to your songs every single day and this is what saved me from depression 🖤 so now as an almost 14 year old I can live my life happily and can continue buliding up my carrier, and I don't care what ppl say about my songs, I try out different styles until I like one and yeah, I also got the mask idea too cuz I don't really like to be in the main character, but also helps me walk around without anybody comming up to me (yes I got also a few fanpages too and ppl actually kinda like me) and I heard Faded when I was 11 and I didn't regret decideing to listen to this cuz I'm sure if I wouldn't do it, I wouldn't be here commenting this to you. Thank you so much for helping me and for inspirating me, and I'm can't wait to collaborate with u a day when you decide that you want to do it too.
My music is horrible which I make but you told me to never give up so I won't thanks Alan

Tiesto is a brand, is a business. Their team put his name in every song that reach the top, whatever the genre is.
Yep same for Robin Schulz and a bit less also Felix Jaehn, they also see "oh its in the charts i gotta remix it rq" slap a bass under it put BPM up and pitch vocals up voila"
david guetta as well
From Fade to Faded, i was with in this Journey since 2014
Same, it was a beauty with another beuaty
Never leave home without it
Kudos to his parents, gave him a computer and a cool DJ name. They knew wassup.
ALAN WALKER - Legend Behind The Mask , We Love U, THANK U FOR EVERYTHING 🫶🏻🥔❤️
The vocals are beautiful
Faded has such a catchy melody and great vocals! I love it!
Glad you enjoyed the video!
Faded is such a good song. I never knew the backstory behind Faded. This brought back so many happy memories of listening to Faded, I almost cried. Alan Walker's music is so beautiful.
Thanks for watching!

I can only agree, this song is beautiful on heavenly level.
I want people to focus on the music and not the artist.This line hit me!
Testo remix is really very powerful! Gave new life to the track! Just super brilliant!
Alan the best DJ of all time 🥔🥔🥔🥔🥔🥔🥔🫶🫶🫶❤️❤️❤️
Those sliding super-saws over a halftime feel...totally unique and timeless. Great vocalist too, but it's the melody that carries it all. A real gem.
Love you Alan and this song!
I never get tired of Faded ❤❤❤❤❤
Beautyful song
Alan Walker elektronikus zenéje a legjobb. ❤️🎵

Alan walker is the Jean-Baptiste Grenouille of EDM
Why this video is so underrated?
The Music Is Perfect Αγάπες μου :-)

ALAN YOU GOOD FOR ME
What a uniquely cool accent
It’s a Norwegian accent
@@wizardgaming6759 nah. More going on than just that. He was born in UK+his dad is British... His accent almost sounds northern Irish...
It's cool when these unique accent combinations occur... an ex gf of mine was born in Scotland to Polish + NI parents, then moved to the midlands... Her accent was SO unique! No one ever guessed where she was from
Sigrid is Norwegian and has a very similar ‘Irish’ sound in her accent too.
Looks like he had no problem with Corona/covid at all 👀
Unfortunately Fade isn’t on NCS anymore.
I'm more familiar with the "where are you now" bootleg version than I am the original
I miss the program where artists buy records
I'm also not walking alon...
❤❤❤❤❤

Why is he wearing a mask?
How is this guy producer when he is the whole time djying and on tours? 💀
Everytime he is not on tours.. Even during long road journeys and flights, he keeps on producing on his laptop.. He utilizes each and every second of his life.. He is never off. Working super hard.... - Walker#42845
He works on his laptop like most of us . And if u see his vlogs . He dosent tour a much
Not much of a story putting basic chords together in FL
I don't really class this as a dance track as you can't really dance to it.
What is the mask for? He sounds muffled.
He's been wearing it since like 2012. Basically a part of his brand. The whole schtick is that he wants people to be able to imagine he's anyone, or that anyone can be him. Something along those lines.
It's the signature style of aw, and a symbol of unity
Seriously, the mask thing is silly, get rid of it!
No.
Bro what 💀
Worst sound EVER
maybe ur ear just aint good
Youre the worst Vondestylez.
