What is the end credits song in The Last of Us episode five?
The end credits song in The Last of Us episode five is Fuel to Fire by Danish artist Agnes Obel. Fuel to Fire was initially written and composed for her second studio album entitled Aventine, which was released in 2013.
The popular song’s arrangement and tone captures the exact mood that previous outro tracks have similarly had. Obel’s breathy crooning and sporadic, yet remarkable high notes complement her brilliant piano playing and the faint string section that accompanies it in the background.

Melodic layered vocals produced by Obel herself can also be heard during the song’s bridge and chorus, further adding to the track’s moving aura. With the story so far being as emotional as it already has been, choosing this piece to end a climactic episode brings an even more mournful end to Henry and Sam’s tragic death in episode five.
