Tim Bergling, mera känd under artistnamnet Avicii, föddes i Stockholm 1989. Han började sin karriär redan som sextonåring då han upptäcktes genom de remixer av elektronisk dansmusik som han skickat till olika internetforum.
Det stora genombrottet fick han med singeln Levels som släpptes 2011. Utmärkande för hans musik är att han blandade elektronisk dansmusik med andra musikgenrer på ett smart och intelligent sätt.
Debutalbumet True med singeln Wake me up gavs ut 2013 och toppade musiklistor över hela världen.
Tvår år senare släpptes hans andra album Stories.
Under de här åren turnerade Avicii i princip oavbrutet samtidigt som han medverkade i olika musikprojekt och skrev ny musik, ett slitsamt liv som gjorde att han 2016 bestämde sig för att sluta turnera.
Några av hans mest kända låtar är I could be the one, Fade into darkness och Addicted to you.
Tim Bergling gick hastigt bort 20 april 2018 i Muskat, Oman.
Här hör ni låten Somewhere in Stockholm med Daniel Adams-Ray på sång, inspelningen är från Aviciis andra album Stories från 2015.
Texten:
That's me right there on the corner, listening to Wu in my Walkman
Neon lights at the water, reflecting the city of I'm lost in
That's me right there on the corner, I one day would be leaving
For a dream that I didn't have, that I'd one day would believe in
Strange how the same place I ran from's
The same place I think of whenever the chance comes
It's inevitable cause wherever I go
I hear echoes of a thousand screams
As I lay me down to sleep
There's a black hole deep inside of me
Reminding me, that I that I've lost my backbone
Somewhere in Stockholm
I lost my backbone, somewhere in Stockholm
I'm from a place where we never, openly show our emotions
We drown our sorrows in bottemless bottles and leave them to float in the ocean
I'm from a place where we never, seperate people from people
Some generalize, but in general I still believed that we are treated as equals
My father, my mother, my sister, my brother, my friends and my family's there
My hope and my money, my innocence in a sense, almost lost everything here
Rught where I was founded, is right where I'll be found dead
The streets of my backbone until I get back home
I hear echoes of a thousand screams
As I lay me down to sleep
There's a black hole deep inside of me
Reminding me, that I that I've lost my backbone
Somewhere in Stockholm
I lost my backbone, somewhere in Stockholm
I'm not alone, I am the fire that burns not of the city, but out of the 'burbs
A river that's just dying of thirst, I am a reverend lying the church
A cracking in the pattern, a miracle waiting to happen
I promise that never was kept, one of those moments you'll never forget
I am that feeling inside the one we all know but can't really describe
I am the blood spill, but I'm in love still
Somewhere in Stockholm, but I'm not alone
Don't have to get by on my own, I'm finally home
Hemma I Stockholm
I hear echoes of a thousand screams
As I lay me down to sleep
There's a black hole deep inside of me
Reminding me, that I that I've lost my backbone
Somewhere in Stockholm
I lost my backbone, somewhere in Stockholm
