      @@TheStarBlack Are you serious? He went to Mike's house and the two of them wrote it together. They both said it was a magic collaboration. Besides the lyrics is straight Avicii - I don't care what anyone says it was about his life. He always talked about hoping to "find himself", feeling like he is in a daze (wake me up), hoping to stay young, which was an Avicii theme, he traveled the world when he had the chance (after retirement) and then there's the little detail about "being lost"-yeah he knew he was...

    I can't believe how underrated Mike Einziger is. I have been a huge Incubus fan since their early days and since I play a little guitar, I have always been amazed by Mike's talent and creativity. When I first heard this song, I liked the guitar right away and when I read that it was Mike who had wrote it, it just made sense. This guy is one of the greatest guitarist of our generation. Simple yet great, and he plays so joyfully.

      @@marinaquinones5130 Sick Sad Little World is one of my favorite Incubus songs. Pretty much all of A Crow Left of the Murder is great song after great song, but Sick Sad is probably my favorite, and that guitar solo is just on a whole different level. Have you ever seen their Live at Red Rocks performance? I highly recommend it.

    Feeling my way through the darkness
    Guided by a beating heart
    I can't tell where the journey will end
    But I know where to start
    They tell me I'm too young to understand
    They say I'm caught up in a dream
    Well life will pass me by if I don't open up my eyes
    Well that's fine by me
    So wake me up when it's all over
    When I'm wiser and I'm older
    All this time I was finding myself, and I
    Didn't know I was lost
    So wake me up when it's all over
    When I'm wiser and I'm older
    All this time I was finding myself, and I
    Didn't know I was lost
    I tried carrying the weight of the world
    But I only have two hands
    Hope I get the chance to travel the world
    But I don't have any plans
    Wish that I could stay forever this young
    Not afraid to close my eyes
    Life's a game made for everyone
    And love is a prize
    So wake me up when it's all over
    When I'm wiser and I'm older
    All this time I was finding myself, and I
    Didn't know I was lost
    So wake me up when it's all over
    When I'm wiser and I'm older
    All this time I was finding myself, and I
    I didn't know I was lost

    I don't have anything against Avicii. I do however get annoyed by his fans that state this is "his song". This was a collaboration. Mike Einziger wrote most of the chord progression with input from Avicii and Aloe Blacc wrote and sang the lyrics. Avicii took that and essentially made a remix of it with his music. Now it wouldn't have came to be without Avicii, but everyone needs to give credit where credit is due.

      "Writing" a song does not mean specifically writing the lyrics, it is synonymous with composing the song. Mike and Avicii wrote/composed the song in a matter of minutes in their very first session together. Aloe Blacc presumably wrote the lyrics.

    Hi, hope everyone is doing well. Im going to tell you the history with this song.
    My cousin some years ago introduced me to avicii and all electronic music of the time like swedish hpuse mafia, alesso, etc. I just feel in love with this music at the first moment. He made a tatto of avicii in his chest years ago. So for me my cousin was the person that introduce me to all this music and the music i love nowadays (and more things like games) He was like a big brother for me.
    Today my family and i have buried my cousin of 27 year old of selfkill. I just put this song, wake me up, and this cover version, in the moment he was being cremated. i will remeber this song to the last day of my life. Thank you for all the memories you have made avicii, and you my dear cousin. Hope you two enjoy singing and dancing your new released in heaven.
    Love you

      No, I didn't think that because I actually happen to have a brain. Avicii, like most other EDM artists, make the background music. Most of the time the singer just sings the lyrics, while the song's artist writes the lyrics and makes the beat. I didn't know who provided the vocals when I first heard the song, but I found out in under 10 seconds after googling the song.

    Can’t believe it took me 9 yrs to find this masterpiece, but in a way I think it’s good that this gem is hidden otherwise people from TikTok and IG will ruin it and make it too mainstream, no offense to anyone though, just my opinion!
    Peace!
    Also I miss Avicii😢
