Amor Fati
Track three of Within and Without and the title of a November 2011 EP.
Washed Out, from Within and Without (2011)
"Amor Fati" was written by Ernest Greene and is track three of Within and Without, 4:26. The title is Latin for love of one's fate, as Treble notes. It was also issued as a single and as the Amor Fati EP on Weird World, listed on November 7, 2011, with "Call It Off" and two remixes; PopMatters's AJ Ramirez gave the EP 5 out of 10, calling the song a chillwave jingle but praising the remixes. Treble heard a steady pace and a strong 1980s atmosphere, leading into "Soft", and Beats Per Minute called it an instant standout. We found no statement from Greene on its words.
A video was first credited to Greene but, as Beats Per Minute corrected on September 20, 2011, its lead is the folk singer Luke Rathborne. The song was played at Brooklyn Steel on August 29, 2017, sixteenth of eighteen, and at Delmar Hall in St. Louis on August 6, 2024, twelfth of fifteen, right after "Feel It All Around". We found no covers or samples and could not tell whether our upload is live or a remix.
