Avicii, artist and DJ: "Someday you'll leave this world behind, so live a life you will remember"
This phrase belongs to one of his most famous songs
There is something about electronic music that captivates and brings together so many people all across the globe. Beyond a style that gets you up on your feet and music that is hard to forget, there are lyrics that resonate, make you reflect, and stay in the memory of every electronic music fan. For good reason, more and more devotees are filling festivals.
Many are the DJs of this style, but few are those who define an era and move the masses. One of them was Tim Bergling, better known as Avicii. His music and lyrics made him a standard-bearer of electronic music. Listening to his songs or sets was, for many, a way of reconnecting with oneself, with lyrics that referred to problems and situations from our daily lives.
“Someday you’ll leave this world behind so live a life you will remember”. This phrase belongs to his song ‘The Nights’. One of the most famous by the Swedish producer. A phrase that took on even more power and meaning when he passed away.
Tim once explained that the lyrics of this song were advice his father gave him when he was a child so that he would not be afraid, that he should fill his life with adventures and unforgettable moments. Advice that he followed and that led Avicii to live unforgettable moments and made him a DJ who is already part of electronic music history.
Avicii's advice in his songs: “Don't give up this life, it's yours”
If we break down each line of his legendary song ‘The nights’ , we find advice that also inspires us to live more happily, to think about ourselves, and to never regret not having done something that at the time we wanted to do.
“One day you will leave this world behind. These are the nights that will never die. Don’t let opportunities slip away. Don’t give up this life, it’s yours,” goes the song which, after his death, takes on meaning and explains why Tim enjoyed music like a little child and making others happy through it.
Avicii would have turned 37 on September 8
The Swedish DJ and producer passed away on April 20, 2018 and on Tuesday, September 8, he would have turned 37. A short but intense life in which he was a pioneer in electronic music for his profound lyrics that blended upbeat and melancholic rhythms. A style and lyrics that led him to leave a legacy about the importance of taking care of mental health in the music industry.
