This shit straight up makes me nostalgic for a vacation I never took.

If you close your eyes listening to this song, you live an entirely different life until the song is over

This is a perfect example of a genre-defining track and this track define the short-lived chillwave genre of the early 2010s.

the floating in the sunset was just spot on

this is one of the most pure and refreshing song's I've ever heard. Whenever life's stresses attack my daily life, i play this to relax and escape even if only fora little over 3 minutes. The power of music never ceases to amaze me.

This song is so spiritual to the core of human bliss. Reminds me of when I was in my mothers womb.

Listening to this after meditating for 30 minutes. Pure bliss... Peace and love to all of you.

I've watched this video probably 50-60 times over the last decade. Only today did I click to read the description for the first time to realize it's a fan-made video. Wow - this video is so perfect it never occurred to me that it wasn't the official video. Well done.

This is about to a decade old in November... i'm not crying, you are

I love this video it looks like a perfect day with your friends. Especially with this song playing

I always think about this video

Truly breathtaking. I've been watching this video for a couple of years now; it never fails to put me in an unearthly mood.

Before I knew about Portlandia, I remember always playing this song walking down the streets because this song oozes Portland

the dream of the 90s is alive in Portland...

gonna tell ya now man, this and weed is nothing short of life changing. it is the most relaxing and warming feeling when you're baked listening to this song. the overwhelming feeling of joy and nostalgia is almost choking

I find myself coming back to this video year after year. I first came across this back in 2012. And now it’s Nov 2021. I hope this lives on KZfaq forever. I get nostalgic every time and I wasn’t even there. I just remember where I was when I listened to this song. Keep this video up for as long as you can.

I was reminded of this song and this video recently. Brings an unavoidable wave of nostalgia to me. Thank you for it.

That needs to be about 3 hours longer

This song instantly makes me feel like I always want to feel.

Wow, talk about letting your mind roam free... this track can really sweep you away...to someplace beautiful!

Simply, amazingly beautiful. 🙌🏼💚🙏🏼💨👌🏼✨🔥🎶🤙🏼🕶🐠🐟🌊💦

god i love this song, it just reminds me of summer, bike riding around, just chilling ~

Damn, this is like, pre-synthwave.

Thank you, Portlandia for introducing me to Washed Out.

You can feel the dopamine release as soon as this song starts. Never gets old

ended up being one of the best music video ever made

So many people miss what the video is conveying, peace , harmony, and good times with friends. The feeling of all around happiness, and I am not worried about the looks of anyone in the video, tattoos, or faces. I just enjoy the energy and the music.

Dayumn that music though 🥺

The Portlandia vibes are strong with this one. Keep Portland weird🤘🏻

this video and music combo is incredible because the video is what my growing up looked like and the music is exactly how it felt

This is the best home made video that has every existed, if only every other showed equal devotion.

I wanna fall in love now while this song is playing

This is as refreshing as a tall glass of water on a blistering hot summer day!

Ugh the edits on this video are amazing, after years of watching and re-watching it still makes me want to book a flight to the Bahamas or wherever this paradise is....

One of those songs where you can just play it anytime of the day and it never gets old.

oh my God...the sky at the end...with that raincloud off to the side at 2:59 PERFECT

I never wanted this video to end.

I could have imagined the tranquility they have expirienced when scuba diving in those depths of that majestic-ness of the tropical water.

Bro, i've been watching this video since they uploaded and the vibe it gives me is everything....

Seattle, Washington, April 2011 Lover and I staying in a high-rise hotel near downtown. Floor-to-ceiling windows, gorgeous view of the city. This song played when we made love like sea otters as it rained hard outside. I'll never forget that.

This is too beautiful

my friend showed this to me a few months ago after i said something about liking chill music. She was like "CHILL? YOU WANT CHILL?" and showed this to me :D love it

14 years later and still loving your video. Thx u

Great song for opening of Portlandia, first time I heard it I think I went to the clouds of heaven....really good!!!!!!!

This is the perfect summer day. I want a day like this sometime in my life. There are too many people that are bogged down with work and/or education to be able to enjoy just a little time off. Life is too short for it to not be enjoyed, the world is too big to not be explored.

This video is a reeally awesome combination with the song. Thumbs up if you first heard this on Portlandia!

Love this beat.. soo chillin for the summer

The video describes exactly what I feel listening to the song...Nice vibes...

If I could turn the perfect mental and physical feelings into music, this would be the result.

Washed Out is sublime ! This is one of the best vacation videos ever, well edited to the rhythm. I've enjoyed many trips with this song on surround and this video displayed on a projector, as well as the soundtrack to many sunsets while adventuring in Colorado..I can not believe it has been 10 years of enjoying this great video and my eyes swell with emotion.

The shots at the end up in the air are so beautiful

I found this song about some years ago & it was a cool ass summer getting baked almost every morning , dang Memories :(

Was listening to this and a friend commented that I only listen to bands from the UK. I was so happy to say this "band" was from Georgia.

It's a video of a bunch of people having a lot more fun than I am right now....just set to an awesome song.

I actually found out about Portlandia from this song, I had no idea the show existed until literally 2 days ago, I was mind blown this song (which I’ve listened to for years) was a theme song to a show

I don't know how anyone could hate this song, it's just so right

Oh sweet Jesus. That last shot of the sky and the clouds is amazing. From someone in a landlocked hellhole of a state (aka North Dakota), I thank you.

Beautiful song, excellent video capture. What else could be said. My favorite part personally is the when they're on the sunset ocean.

my summer just ended, and i can't even begin to explain how depressed watching this video makes me. the best fan made video ive ever seen.

this video is actually one of the most beautiful things i've seen

I put KZfaq on in the background while at work. It's a struggle not to watch the video to this one. Great song, great photography to match. Kudos.

Still Can't believe this video hasn't hit a Million Views yet.

Perfect summer jam. What could be better.

Was watching "Portlandia" for the first time tonight when my attention was called to KZfaq :) Figured I'd check for that sexy groove while I was here...

I want the person who made this video to know that after watching it longingly for the last decade , I’m going to make my own tribute to it on our upcoming Cancun trip in May. I’ll post it here when I’m done, this video captures “trip with your best friends” energy so succinctly that after ten years I have to take a crack at it. Edit: Video here! kzfaq.info/get/bejne/q56Ei5mFx7Czqqc.html

Great video but for some reason every time I see it I feel depressed yet relaxed at the same time. Strong symbolism at work here. It shows all these people you'd like to meet doing all these fun things together. Then towards the end they are all asleep and then it cuts to a shot of us looking down from clouds. I am suddenly aware of my mortality or something. It says alot about life and how all good things must come to an end sometime. Also the beard guy seems awesome. This video is win.

wow whoever shot this video should get into the film business. its genius.

Washed Out is one of the few things that make me happy to be from Georgia. I just learned a few days ago that Greene graduated from UGA.

Got doubly blessed by the soothing water & its treasures; feel like that fee is in Ephesians. Corny maybe, but by faith we'll work it out :)

All the quintessentials of the Florida Life, with a song that perfectly compliments the Florida Life. So beautiful and relatable 💙🌊😎🎣🏝🛥

This song feels like a breath of fresh air.

anybody from 2022? this video hit the spot!

This will get to a million views by the end of the year

*sweet*, thanks for posting! we don't get to vacation anymore (responsibilities, a child, no money) so we appreciate you sharing yours with us! it's like we took a mini vacation too. peace~

I guess i'm getting to this song late.. Doesnt change the fact that this song takes me to a place no drug ever can...

I frikin love this vacation video .. can we be friends? Haha!

amazing video. just puts you in a great mood

Apart from the sunglasses, this beautiful video has not aged a minute.

I absolutely love this song my first love moved away to Portland and he would always tell me about how cool it was there damn he was so freaking cool so the show and the city hold a special place in my heart and I'm all the way in Ohio *sigh* one day I shall visit that awesome place and this song just reminds me of it all the love I had the city and the swag that I know the city has. You rock #portland

I watched this video dozens of times when I was stationed in Germany during the winter months. Life is Good!!!

Just, just beautiful.

Saw this band open for Cut Copy last night in San Diego. What a pleasing show it was. Awesome video and wonderful musical choice!

Such a beautiful song.

I'm a huge fan of this video. Good job to those involved.

so excited to see him and beach house. amazing song. beautiful video!

For it's time this video was godly!

This video and song go together perfectly. Warms me up on these cold winter days. Can't wait to complain about 110º heat this summer!

It's like a bitter sweet nostalgia, you remember the happy times while feeling sad it's all over.

Whenever I need a vacation I just watch this video

love this video! u all look so happy and it totally makes me wanna be on vaca for the rest of my life too! very talented whoever made this video! i can't help but watch and listen to it everyday! awesome accompaniment to this chill song!

This song expresses a deep part of my inner-being that words will never allow me to do. This song is incredible...

What a chill ass music video...

This is so terminally chill, I'm literally freezing my ass off.

Words cannot describe how well this video matches the song, and how much I love its proficiency in showcasing the soothing nature of the sea.

wow, one of the best comments on youtube. i agree 100%. by traveling you not only gain a cultural perspective but a moral one as well.

these guys have got it all figured out..they're living life

This sound, like the video, is just Wonderful...!! My mind takes off!

Great song and great video. Portlandia brought me here. I miss summer :(

This is great little gem i happened to stumble upon!

last shot is gold. whoever directed this is badass
