[@discipleslim9506]

Hey friend, when are you coming to Houston, Dallas, or New Orleans?

[@grape17]

I met Ernest in a perchance situation and I haven't shared it online yet. He and his wife were in front of my wife and I in line for the Tame Impala show in ATL 2021. I couldn't believe my luck. I was getting so nervous to talk to him, but luckily my wife was incredible and went up to them. They were so kind to my wife and I. Later on we were going to get refills and the bartender let us know they were paid for. Across the bar his wife winked at us. His music is something that I'll always cherish and I'm so glad that my wife and I had that interaction. I wish I remembered to tell him how great Purple Noon is to me. Can't wait for this project!

[@veirglas]

this is the most heartwarming thing i’ve read all week, wow!

[@Link-ji7kx]

That’s awesome. I’ve played quite a few shows and met a few bands/artists and some were total assholes (like MGK) but when you meet a good one - you just appreciate them and their work that much more 👍🏻

[@CudiFan224]

I met Ernest at his Brooklyn concert for the Purple Noon concert and showed him my purple noon inspired shoot and he loved it soo surreeal he’s been one of my biggest inspirations for my career

One of the most creative musical sounds of our time.

[@_gothmami]

Growing older with washed out 🥹

[@adriennec3871]

A privilege!

[@IntegratingReelPerspecti-od7xh]

I know the feeling. I still remember when You and I first came out on Chill XM Satellite Radio and then Within and Without was released shortly after. I've followed Ernest's music ever since.

[@TarlWar-sf8yr]

I absolutely adored this short film. So beautiful. Ernest, if you ever find the time, you really ought to release all the little vignettes and songs from this doc, it's all so lovely and melodic. Love it! Been listening to you for 15 years! Here's to another! Much love to you and your Kin. Cathal - Ireland

[@genevievemarielaw7143]

I've listened to Washed out for more than 13 years, it's therapeutic for me. I guess we don't think about the people putting out such effort, energy, love and life changing music and so thank you for this personal perspective for both of you and please live life to the fullest and be well. Cheers!

[@HadenMontana]

yassss, this! 🙌🏻🔥❤️

[@Tallontherocks]

I’m 41 today. I feel exactly how you feel. My kids give me purpose. ❤

[@HadenMontana]

This was so fucking beautiful. Love you Ernest, this confirms why you’re my favorite artist of all time! I have been a fan since 2013 when I first heard feel it all around, and ever since then I’ve grown to appreciate the effort you put into creating beautiful music that is pure art! excited to see him in concert ❤

[@pronaturechannel7819]

Your quiet passion and dedication to your family, art and music is incredibly inspiring and deeply appreciated

[@FoxKing33]

100% agree

[@TheFloorisLavaVibes]

This had me teary eyed. You’ve made beautiful music that has lived with us and soundtracked many memories, more than you’ll probably ever know. Thank you, sincerely, and enjoy your quiet life. Look forward to the album

[@eireannleigh]

Same Here, And Yes, Exactly

[@omarashraf1914]

You changed the way i see and feel my life with your music

[@eireannleigh]

[@igorbernardino]

your songs are therapy in my ears 🩵

[@302shmed]

Ernest, I've been a huge fan since Within and Without. I saw you in Denver at Colorfield. Thank you so much for your music, and thank you for giving us a look at your day to day. So happy for you and your family. You inspired my album and you continue to inspire me in other areas of life. Thank you.

[@robbiewr8451]

Will you be at his concert at Ogden in Denver Nov 4? I'll be there!

[@bobbyaffet1710]

Amazing visuals and beautiful storytelling, felt like it was spoken from your soul. Honored that you let us in. We’re happy you’re back. Thank you

[@Chef_Jake]

Loved your art since life of leisure. You are 1 of 1. Enjoy your peace and family

[@p.phillips7036]

This hit me a lot harder than I expected. I’m happy for Ernest and his family, this was inspiring to say the least

[@RubeVidz]

Such a phenomenal mini documentary. It's not easy nowadays to really make that conscious effort to slow down and do what you know is right for yourself and your loved ones. In recent years, I've tried to do that myself with mindfullness and meditation, especially living next to big city. Glad you've found that too and I'm happy that you're creating projects from a place that makes you happy. 'Paracosm' for me is one of my all time favorite records. Everything about it is perfect, like a dream I never want to wake up from. I'd like to think this next project will carry a similar grace to it as well with regards to what I've been seeing from you these past couple weeks. Regardless though, I'm just glad you're enjoying the process and doing what you love. Cheers Ernest!

[@jonneye]

I first heard “Belong” off High Times in 2009, and it’s been great to watch you grow from the early work to who you’ve become as a person and artist in recent time. Thank you for all the contributions and inspiration over the years. Looking forward to the new project. 🤝

[@yung_sippy]

Can't express how much Ernest has influenced my life with his music, creative process, lifestyle, background.. whatever you want to call it, it's gotten me here to this point and I'm so glad he's still making music that will live on for generations to come. Washed Out forever.

[@NoName-wm8zi]

Washed out is a soundtrack in my life. His music always evokes nostalgic memories for me. I listened non-stop to his first and second album when I was on holiday in Greece. So every time I hear his melancholic melodies and voice, it takes me back to those beaches and sunset nights. I am 41, musician and photographer and this beautiful documentary shows me that I have much more in common than I initially thought. I love his art work and hope to see more from that in the future!

[@emileerosephoto]

I’ve been with your music from the start, and from that start, I always labeled it as my favorite musician in general, and that hasn’t changed. The aura you provide for your listeners musically, visually, and internally is something I’ve yet to find elsewhere; a peaceful combination. Thank you for channeling your world into so many artistic forms - beautiful documentary and locale!

[@HadenMontana]

I couldn’t have said this better myself! 🙌🏻💜

[@grahamcrackers7]

I studied abroad in Thailand 10 years ago and my friends started playing 'Life of Leisure'.. I was instantly addicted to Ernest's music and have been following Washed Out ever since.Your music brings me to nostalgic, happier times. Saw your set in Chicago on a rooftop in 2019. What a beautiful journey you have gone on as an artist over the last 15 years. As a graphic designer myself, I respect the visuals in your work. Thanks for all the music and hard work. So excited for the new record, cheers!

[@Schlub14]

I have been a fan of his music for over 10 years and had no clue he had roots where I now call home myself. Amazing.

[@sirchunkalot]

Awesome insight - can’t wait to hear the album!

[@MrGordonGartrelle]

Beautiful, meditative piece. Thank you for your music, Ernest.

[@ningal.]

I've been listening since I was 16 and I am 30 now. I was very lucky to see you in Tel Aviv in happier times. Your music gave me more than words can say, within and without changed me. Thank you and blair for calming me down and giving me new air in good and harder times❤

[@GreetingsFromCalifornia]

Love the visuals of this video. 🩵

[@lovedream55]

Thank you for sharing this with us, your lovely family💖 love you all & much blessings🙌

[@manopeace9175]

Hope you found peace yall. Thanks for the music.

[@music4art1]

thank you for sharing this, it's lovely

[@1earthaura]

I was at your Seattle show in 2022. It was magical, euphoric, and passionate. I was taken to another dimension with my eyes closed. When looking at you, I sensed something from you. I thought maybe you seemed down. Hearing you say now that you were severely burned out hurts my heart. I am sorry that you were suffering in silence for our enjoyment. I experience burnout too, as an introvert. It's exhausting. I can't even imagine going on tour. I thank you for sharing your art, your soul. Your music feeds my soul. Your music is euphoria and joy. Thank you for sharing part of your story and your life with us. I wish you and your family the very best and many blessings ❤❤❤

[@DonnyBenfield]

Thanks for this video. Your music is so therapeutic and life inspiring.

[@lowkeyloki8832]

As an artist myself, who hasn't dropped a project in 2 years watching this inspires me and gives me hope that I'll eventually arrive at what I'm supposed to do. Also lets me know I shouldn't resent other things that might pull me away from creativity cause they're important too. Thank you

[@sunsetXsurfing]

Thanks bro! Riding with you till the end!

[@Uuuuyyyyuuu]

Omg that outro track is so good.

[@jhelmuth87]

Ernest, you have been a source of inspiration for me ever since I came across your first release while scrolling through ISO50 while I was in college a long time ago. Your artwork, regardless of medium, lifestyle, and outlook on life is one I feel a deep connection with. Never stop creating no matter what that means. Your work always comes into my life at the right time it seems. Thank you.

[@TheAcademicOracle]

Love these behind the scenes understanding of how the music gets created. ❤

[@Sogonrei]

It was so nice to see Ernest share his life and about what drives his music in such a spectacular shooting style it was art within art through the artists perspective. I am pleased he found his peace and protects it. Keep on doing what you do it is fantastic for the spirit and eyes and listening and mood. ✌💞😊

[@JulioFlores]

So unbelievably beautiful, thank you for the peek behind the curtain 🙏🏻

[@robbiewr8451]

Growing up is realizing you've grown up. Thanks for the video, ive followed your music and grown with it

[@tehutiboi]

I really enjoyed this video! I recently moved out to the country from the city and resonate with the peaceful atmosphere.

[@Hypercat420]

Your voice always stays soothing ever since Life of Lesiure. Love your songs

[@ROBOTWORKMAN]

Your music transcends the soul man. Thank you for this personal film. I knew you were cool, but stuff like this confirms it.

[@stormyuniverse97]

Thank you so much for this! I saw you live in 2015 for my very first concert in Dallas Tx - and live in Dallas as well in 2022. Cant wait for this to come out. But I understand and or wonder myself about the burnout. thank you for talking about it. We dont always need tours. And we are patient in regards to music. I am so grateful for all of the music that you put out.

[@metaldetectorists76]

Always paid attention to your music Ernest. I have followed you from the beginning..

[@achron2074]

What a beautiful video. Thank you for sharing your thoughts, emotions, and insight about your life's current journey. I wholeheartedly cannot wait to hear the new album and just how much of yourself you have poured into it. Please never stop creating art.

Your songs are always with me, they are incredibly sensual and allow me to feel this world more deeply. Your music inspires me and supports me in difficult moments. Continue to create and delight us with your works! ❤

[@WatchingwhatIcantafford-si3jp]

This is my first exposure to Ernest and his music. Reminds me of the first time I heard Another Green World by Brian Eno, indulging in and savoring the moment.

[@julianclatro3113]

thank you for sharing this part of yours! ❤

[@ZachChis]

As someone who has appreciated your music since Life of Leisure and who is roughly the same age, I loved every moment of this. Your art has always provided me a moment of calm in this busy world. I hope you continue to make more art, but it’s wonderful to see you put your own peace first.

[@laralucy2227]

Has been, will always be, my favorite artist! Now my 5 year old daughter is obsessed too. We sing his songs in the car on the way to school everyday. Its going to be one of my favorite memories. We were at restaurant once and one of his songs came on. She yelled, "Mom! its time to walk away !!!" Everyone looked over and laughed. Pretty sure they thought she was giving me some advice.

[@Rllydontlikeu]

This is such a refreshing video. Thank you so much.

[@rudymartinez9323]

Bro I love your intro I’ve never heard an intro….love it to the fullest….love it always thank you ❤

[@sammiles9979]

Saw you in Birmingham........So Great !

[@glenncain]

I came here from some web news write up about AI that pointed to The Hardest Part Video, I watched it and man it was trippy and it hits. And I scan around and here i see the mini documentary of this father, and as a father to be three months away, it hits. I will be looking forward to more creation from WO.

[@fettyblap4436]

great video :) love from one creative to another, it's hard to be "on" all the time. Take the time to be "off" sometimes. Thank you for being willing to be vulnerable.

[@responsibilitytoawe]

Your music transcends, thanks for creating them and making visuals to support it.
