When Avicii first premiered this song (and all the other songs for his first album "True") at Ultra Music Festival he did it with a live band and live singers. The audience booed and left the festival dissapointed. But later when the song officially released with all of the EDM elements, the party people changed their minds. After some time Wake Me Up became the most played song ever on Spotify at the time. Sidenote: On friday, 24th of January, Kygo and Sandro Cavazza will release their Avicii tribute "Forever Yours", a song that originally were started by Avicii and Sandro Cavazza.

Tim was all about creating that bittersweet feeling; uplifting melodies, beats etc with deep, darker lyrics. Wake Me Up is a song people literally go OFF to, when in fact when Tim played it at Ultra with a band, he was getting yelled at and bashed. Fun fact: This is Tim's biggest track. It's even bigger than Levels - which put him on the map in 2011. Tim was one of a kind. A literal walking orchestra. And I'm saying that 'cause he knew at age 17, which was when he started creating music, how he wanted things to sound. He knew EXACTLY what he wanted to do with music, and even though he is known as THE EDM DJ/producer, Tim was actually more a composer than anything else. He worked with Coldplay to create Sky Full of Stars, he's the mind behind the lead melody of Every Teardrop is a Waterfall, he co-produced Hymn For The Weekend etc. Tim gets compared to Bach and Michael Jackson, and rightfully so. He was brilliant. Recommendations: Avicii - Hope There's Someone (my most favorite track. Been a fan of Tim since 2009, before his big mainstream break) Avicii - Ten More Days (in my opinion his most beautiful but heartbreaking track as it explains his struggles) Avicii - Penguin / Fade Into Darkness (Penguin is the official title, instrumental, while Fade Into Darkness is the vocal edit) Avicii - Levels (Like I mentioned, this is the track that gave Tim commercial success. It's actually a sample from Etta James, haha! But I'd pick the tribute version to react to)
