The story behind the song

"Faded" delves into a melancholic longing, a search for something meaningful that seems to have vanished. The lyrics paint a picture of a guiding presence, once a "shadow to my light," now elusive, leaving a feeling of being lost and adrift. It speaks of a fading connection, wondering "where are you now," as if searching for a lost city like Atlantis "under the sea." This track, a rework of Alan Walker's earlier song "Fade," was released in 2015 and became a signature piece for the Norwegian DJ, known for his emotionally rich melodies. Playing it evokes the feeling of a heartfelt quest for something once vibrant, now just a memory under "faded lights."
