My absolute best friend in the world unexpectedly passed away in September. I can't explain how much this song carried me that month....would love to thank Aloe in person....
I'm sorry but I'm looking for the acoustic version and I'm really happy I found it but I think Aloe Blacc deserves better recording quality than this, am I the only one who would like to hear this re-recorded? This is injustice!
Agreed. People tend to choose one side and hate the other. I like both too. I love this one better because it's more emotional like you said, but like the other better for being more punchy.
This is true feelings flowing from the Heart and Soul. His voice, These words just connects with what is hidden inside of many I'm sure, and The song explains what we can't about ourself. Now I say, listen to this song!! It's me!!! Beautifully Done!!
I love how smart he is with his voice. It's clear he could riff all over the place, but he uses it to best fit the song. Mark of a truly great singer. Really glad I found this.
This renditions is so moving. Makes me sit silently and think "what am I doing to help?" This makes me want to better myself for the better of everyone. Thanks for this raw, cut back masterpiece, Aloe
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 I hope I get the chance to travel the world And I don't have any plans I 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 didn't know I was lost I didn't know I was lost I didn't know I was lost I didn't know I was lost I didn't know I was lost
I've always lived thru music, but my mini-me has taught me how to love thru it too. A medical precedure took his precious little voice away & I use to be so sad & angry he had this happen to him. Until I realized what was taken away is nothing compared to the blessings we have gained to truly conversate without spoken word!! Music is poetry put to a beat. My mini-me is now a man these days, but once upon a time I held his tiny lil premie body next to my heart & wished he could stay my baybee boi for always. God is so beyond words amazing in all his creations!
I don't think people realize how good his voice is. This was recorded with one mic, wich was come distance away from the both of them. No artificial reverb or anything of the sort, just a jam on a great song, recorded right there. Theren't a ton of artists out there that would gladly jam out with just a guitar and a voice and let it go.
In an interview with the Daily Star, Avicii, who had previously labelled "Wake Me Up!" as "a fun experiment" during an exclusive chat with MTV UK,[13] said: "I had a demo with Mac Davis singing, the guy who wrote all the Elvis Presley stuff, but I needed another singer to do the parts. At the same time I was tipped off about doing another track with Aloe Blacc and I started working on that track. When I was with Mike Einziger from Incubus, we came up with the chord progression and the melody for Wake Me Up but no real lyrics. None of us sing and we really needed to get that demo down and the only person I knew that lived in LA was Aloe, so I called him and he was free. Lyrics come really easy to him so he wrote them in a couple of hours and we finished the track.
aloe is a very talented person used to rap and now he's killing the charts with his voice but he doesn't get enough recognition therefore making him under rated
@@justrening hee comentinizde yazmısınız Soobinin paylaşımından gəldiyinizi, yenə də bu tipli mahnılarda özümdən başqa azərbaycanlı gördüyümə sevindim:)
avicii and aloe blacc worked cooperatively. Avicii is a producer, not a singer, so don't call avicii a thief for asking aloe to come and help write and perform a song.
This version is truly the best, as Giorgio Moroder once said of Donna Summer, that Black Voice! There is nothing else like it! This song and that voice without electronics, purely proves it....Can't wait to see what he does next.....
everyone is talking shit about the avicii version, when 1. that one came out first, and 2. they can't really be compared because avicii is a dj/house producer and aloe is a singer, so they do a song together and people hate on the producer?
I think the problem they have with avicii is that he gave Aloe no credit whatsoever.. when he was the one singing the song. Like how do you not give credit to the person who sang it? That is messed up.
Sarah Rollins Aloe actually wrote the song but was not given credit. If they had found another singer Aloe Blacc should have still been given a writing credit, really sole writing credit for the lyrics anyway because Avicci didn't write any of the lyrics.
I'm almost positive that Aloe got a large chunk of income by being on the track. Also record labels discuss and have detailed contracts of how certain tracks are released. It all depends what the company agrees on. If people are really gonna get mad, they shouldn't be mad at the artists, they should be mad at the record label corporations. It's actually a frequent occurrence where some tracks have the producer be the face of the song and other times the artist/singer. Before people jump the gun and just get angry, they should really do the proper research of what actually goes on, including business behind the scenes.
I like the versions without Avicci's sound, I like to hear the singer and get the feeling of the words, the sound in the electronic version takes that way in my opinion
In this case, yeah it does. I don't mind electronic beats if they're used right... but the regular version's beat is just... weird. It doesn't match the tone of the rest of the song at all.
The Wayward Llama I don't mind Electronic music but when it's in a different setting, my type of music is Alternative rock , metal and heavy metal, I like the words to my songs to have meaning and the meaning of this songs goes much better without the electronic sound that was chosen in my opinion, you get the true feeling with just the basic sounds and the singers voice :)
An authenic tunes and song from heart,the version of this song I wanted to hear.Aloe,thank you for the music, for songs you're singing,thanks for all the joy they're bringing!
I don't think people understand that Avicii's version is the original, not a remix. Avicii developed the melody, then asked Aloe to write and sing the lyrics. The acoustic version came later. True story, Google it!
No offense or racism intended, but when I heard Avicii's version, I thought it was a blue-eyed, white, Josh Turner-type guy singing the vocals. I was pleasantly surprised when I found out it was a person of color. His voice is typical of cookie cutter white baritone country singers and I am very very impressed with his chops. Mad talent!

This song means so much to me ik people say men ain't supposed to cry but it's ok to weep aloe blacc is amazing you know this song helps me and reminds me everyday to stay humble and reminds me to stay close to god he always touches my soul much love
A natural voice? I wish more singers had that talent
Josh S how can you say it’s a natural voice then say you wish more singers had that talent?
Julian Alexander because most songs these days are all autotune and bad

Breath of fresh air. He doesn't oversing or sing poorly. He has a clean soulful voice.
Nothing is more beautiful than the soul poured into this song!!
Soobin thanks for the recommendation 💜💜
Thanks for the recommendation soobin ahh 🐰🐰🥰😍😍🥰
I came here because Soobin recommended this to his fans and he once sang this for a montlt evaluation test. This song is legendary. Art.
I knew the song, but I haven't heard it in a while, and I came as soon as Soobin recommended it.
asdfghjkl same here
Same
Same here, the music taste of the boys! 😭SOOBIN DONT BE SHY, DROP THAT VIDEO,
IM CURIOUS DO THEY RECORD EVERY PERFORMANCE OF EVERY TRAINEE? IM CURIOUS
HAHAHA SAMEEE
My absolute best friend in the world unexpectedly passed away in September. I can't explain how much this song carried me that month....would love to thank Aloe in person....
I want soobin to drop a cover of this song! It's really amazing~
What voice !!! This song is just magic and by Aloe Blacc , it's wonderful !!!
his voice is pure perfection
It pretty much as close as you can get
@@aaronholcombe2963 what do you mean "as close as you can get" ?
He's the original singer of this song. 😂😂😂
I'm sorry but I'm looking for the acoustic version and I'm really happy I found it but I think Aloe Blacc deserves better recording quality than this, am I the only one who would like to hear this re-recorded? This is injustice!
chuck wilson so much better
Well buddy, after 2 years you commented this, Aloe Blacc has a song with the best quality in spotify :)
Yes
Agreed
Yeah go type in the fuckin song -wake me up. That's his voice
Avicii made it catchy, Aloe made it beautiful.
Never heard of him; he has a heavy twang! I like it when he sings soulful because he does it more naturally.
Aloe is singing both versions! He's singing Avicci is doing the beat
Bobob yes but Originally its Avicii’s song! Avicii version is the original
Avicii created it and made it catchy AND beautiful, Aloe's own cover is nice
He wrote the song in the first place; therefore it can't be considered a cover.
Soobin-ah thank you for this song! 💜💚
I can't listen to this song too much or I'll start crying. Tears just start welling up midway through the 2nd listen. This is so good.
It's fantastic! I love aloe's voice *.*
Can you feel the soul ?
Yes I do
yup
Yep. somehow reminds me of Labrinth singing "Beneath your beautiful."
jack lord and that soul has left us!
Yes absolute
Amazing voice
Hard times in South Africa. But your song gives me hope. ✊🏿
I really like both versions, this is much more emotional but Avicii's is more punchy and hits you in a good way.
I agree with you.
Spencer Decoteau Well thanks, I agree back!
Avicii's version ruins it for me... the lyrics of this song dont fit the typical dance music that Avicii randomly shoves in the middle of it.
Agreed. People tend to choose one side and hate the other. I like both too. I love this one better because it's more emotional like you said, but like the other better for being more punchy.

a pesar de sus años aun sigue INSPIRANDO su hermosa LETRA.. Thank You Avicii and Aloe Blacc
I love both versions.
I love this man soooo much....ahhhhh!
Alexis Blair. yas
i can listen to this a million times
This renditions is so moving. Makes me sit silently and think "what am I doing to help?" This makes me want to better myself for the better of everyone. Thanks for this raw, cut back masterpiece, Aloe
soobs i had forgotten about this masterpiece ahhh i love u
Same i forgot about it till soobin
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
I hope I get the chance to travel the world
And I don't have any plans
I 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 didn't know I was lost
I didn't know I was lost
I didn't know I was lost
I didn't know I was lost
I didn't know I was lost

this is the most intense and solid voice i have ever heard. good to know you mr aloe blacc. im your new fan.
Avicii takes all the credit.. It should be Aloe Blacc - Wake me up ft. Avicii.
Django
thts why i wonder how come Avicii didnt do such things. put the credit name is not even hard
My heart hurts when I hear your voice. Never stop singing.
Could the microphone used here be any worse!? Beautiful voice despite which
Vito Cientanni maybe if avicchii gave him credit he would of had some money to buy another one
It is supposed to be that low, has its unique style
First place I came when I heard Avicci died.
This song changed my life.
Christo SC : si lo siento mucho sabes de dónde es este cantante?
Ada Escudero pienso que el es americano.
Pero no se.
Chris SC this song changed my life too. rest easy Avicci💜
Chris SC nice. But I don't know, how they could made a song about my live. This song is my live in 4 minutes.
The guy on the guitar gets no respect. He did well too.
He's actually given credit in the description unlike what Avicii did...
3656761 u said it 👍🏻
he frickin shredded it
I’ll show respect to him. ❤✊
He deserves so much more on this song than what he gets since he actually SINGS the song and is the one who actually makes this song sound so great.
I don't think people realize how good his voice is. This was recorded with one mic, wich was come distance away from the both of them.

Its my first time hearing it but I love it!
Soobin~
He's one the few artists that I must listen to EVERY version of the songs because it's too good and I can't get satisfied with listening just one.
I'm glad Aloe Blacc collaborated with Avicii. Aloe's music is definitely going to be way more known then before.
sadly thats not true 7-8 years later
He deserves all the stars and the fuckn credit

Jesus this Voice....
aloe is a very talented person used to rap and now he's killing the charts with his voice but he doesn't get enough recognition therefore making him under rated
SO BEAUTIFUL!!💜💜😪😪
You are great!
I love this version. It is easy to play this song on guitar, but your voice nobody can copy.
Awesome song... awesome lyrics... awesome artist!!!!!
This song...THIS MASTERPIECE OF A SONG will forever stay immortalized in my books.

Man talk about talent. This guy has it!!!
Rip avicci❤️
This song is amazing, no matter if it is an Acoustic or an Electronic version. Just enjoy the music.
Nice Song!
Literally just a great soul in a room singing, no mics or equipment besides the guitar his friends playing.
I'm here because of Soobin, but I just realised that I know this song ever since
ON REPEAT
I'm here because of Soobin, but I really like this song

this is so beautiful, it makes me cry😭💜
can you see it in his face he's thinking "that nigga avicii stole all the glory" *chin stroke* *gaze into nothing*
Avicii is only stupid dj who only mixed faster version but he still used aloe blacc voice.

RIP AVICII
Seven years searching for this song, 4 years fan of Avicii, thank you brother i already find it and im extremelly happy
Soobin said so
aloe blacc is the soul of this track. and I don't even like this song but I like aloe black
"loving you is killing me, I need a dollar" etc
I don't think people understand that Avicii's version is the original, not a remix. Avicii developed the melody, then asked Aloe to write and sing the lyrics. The acoustic version came later. True story, Google it!
Brings tears to my eyes...beautiful
Came here for Soobin
Same haha,
Only TWO hours! Damn...I knew Aloe Blacc had talent but that's a hell of a lot to write this song in that short of a time.
Came here course soobin..
Aloe is ma mannnnn his voice....speechless
No offense or racism intended, but when I heard Avicii's version, I thought it was a blue-eyed, white, Josh Turner-type guy singing the vocals. I was pleasantly surprised when I found out it was a person of color. His voice is typical of cookie cutter white baritone country singers and I am very very impressed with his chops. Mad talent!
Me too!
good in itself what you said is something racist
since you say it's better to be avici than to sing with more feeling
But in his version he does not even sing
I only place the voice of aloe and end
Actually I do not give avici a lot of merit since the only talent he has is chopping buttons with rhythm and end (drumpad)
This song means so much to me ik people say men ain't supposed to cry but it's ok to weep aloe blacc is amazing you know this song helps me and reminds me everyday to stay humble and reminds me to stay close to god he always touches my soul much love
Who's here for soobin?
Quién está aquí por soobin? Porque yo si xd
Me me me
Natural voice and low quality record has its own atmosphere in very artistic way
Meglio dell'originale
Just saw him sing this on a replay of "Dancing With the Stars". Had never heard of him, he was wonderful and I will be looking for his music now.
Better than original
This is the original version mate
Avicii coverd it
Rip Avicii 😭😭
the best video for this song, who need a dj when the talent here is real?
Thank's Avicii... now i know Aloe Blacc ^^
Fully engaged in his performance, I love this version
This is MUCH better than the Avicii version!
You do know hes the one who sings it tho right...........
Stephanie Waight I know that, i'm just saying that it sounds better without the dubstep.
Bradley Theroux i'd agree but you call it dubstep
Bradley Theroux Wait dubstep? I think it's electro.
gjoeyjoe its EDM :)
My man has a beautiful voice🥰
