Avicii – The Nights Music Video & Lyrics
Hey, once upon a younger year
When all our shadows disappeared
The animals inside came out to play
Hey, when face to face with all our fears
Learned our lessons through the tears
Made memories we knew would never fade
One day my father – he told me,
“Son, don’t let it slip away”
He took me in his arms, I heard him say,
“When you get older
Your wild life will live for younger days
Think of me if ever you’re afraid.”
He said, “One day you’ll leave this world behind
So live a life you will remember.”
My father told me when I was just a child
These are the nights that never die
My father told me
When thunder clouds start pouring down
Light a fire they can’t put out
Carve your name into those shinning stars
He said, “Go venture far beyond the shores.
Don’t forsake this life of yours.
I’ll guide you home no matter where you are.”
One day my father—he told me,
“Son, don’t let it slip away.”
When I was just a kid I heard him say,
“When you get older
Your wild life will live for younger days
Think of me if ever you’re afraid.”
He said, “One day you’ll leave this world behind
So live a life you will remember.”
My father told me when I was just a child
These are the nights that never die
My father told me
These are the nights that never die
My father told me

About Avicii
Tim Bergling (8 September 1989 – 20 April 2018), known professionally as Avicii, was a Swedish DJ, remixer, and record producer. He is known as an influence on many artists, and several music publications have credited Bergling as one of the DJs who brought electronic music to Top 40 radio in the early 2010s. He is also considered one of the most popular and successful Electronic dance music (EDM) genre artists of all time.
He began posting remixes on electronicmusic forums at the age of 16, and in May 2007 was signed by Dejfitts Plays label. He rose to prominence in 2011 with his single “Levels”. His debut studio album, True (2013), blended electronic music with elements of multiple genres and received generally positive reviews. It peaked in the top 10 in more than 15 countries and topped international charts; the lead single, “Wake Me Up”, topped the charts in over 20 countries, reached number four in the US Billboard Hot 100 and was certified diamond by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA).
In 2015, he released the singles “Waiting for Love” and “Broken Arrows”, which were included on his album Stories released in October. In 2017, he released the EP Avīci (01), which included the singles “Without You” and “Lonely Together”, which reached number one and number three in Sweden, respectively. Bergling retired from touring in 2016, after several years of stress and poor mental health. In 2018, he died by suicide while on holiday in Muscat, Oman.
Bergling died on 20 April 2018 in Muscat, Oman, where he was on holiday, at the age of 28. No cause of death was immediately given. On 21 April, the Omani authorities stated that there was “no criminal suspicion” or evidence of foul play in Bergling’s death. A day before Bergling’s death, a friend expressed concern about his mental state to his father Klas. TMZ later reported that he died by suicide, using a glass shard to cut himself. On 26 April, his family released an open letter stating:
Our beloved Tim was a seeker, a fragile artistic soul searching for answers to existential questions. An over-achieving perfectionist who travelled and worked hard at a pace that led to extreme stress. When he stopped touring, he wanted to find a balance in life to be able to be happy and to do what he loved most – music. He really struggled with thoughts about Meaning, Life, Happiness. He could now not go on any longer. He wanted to find peace. Tim was not made for the business machine he found himself in; he was a sensitive guy who loved his fans but shunned the spotlight. Tim, you will forever be loved and sadly missed. The person you were and your music will keep your memory alive. We love you, The Family
On 22 May, Bergling’s family announced plans for a private funeral with “the people who were closest to him”. The funeral service was held on 8 June at the Skogskyrkogården cemetery in Stockholm, and his remains were buried at Hedvig Eleonora Church later that month.
His third and final album, Tim, was released posthumously in 2019 and reached number one on Billboard Top Dance Albums chart.
His catalog also included the singles “Seek Bromance”, “Silhouettes”, “I Could Be the One” with Nicky Romero, “You Make Me”, “X You”, “Hey Brother”, “Addicted to You”, “The Days”, “The Nights”, “SOS” and “Heaven”. Bergling has won four MTV Europe Music Awards, two International Dance Music Awards, one American Music Awards and one Billboard Music Awards. He was also nominated for a Grammy Award for his work on “Sunshine” with David Guetta in 2012 and “Levels” in 2013.
