Mental Health Nation | Blog #010 | In Memory Of Avicii - R.I.P

I couldn't believe it when I heard last night that Avicii had died, I have been listening to his music ever since I first heard his track Levels, one of his best made EDM songs. I enjoyed seeing what he came out with over the years as his style changed.

Songs like: Wake me up, Hey Brother and his recent one Without You were some of my most favorites of his recent works and what hits home is that we will never get to have any new music from his great creative mind and that is a huge loss.

I used to listen to his music when feeling low and they helped me through some hard times but that was what was amazing, how he could connect with you through a genre that was known more for dancing too in a night club rather than a song that hit your heart strings.

This gift of merging pop and dance music brought him to fame as we all starting having his music playing over and over again in our heads. He was the first EDM artist to travel on tour worldwide and maybe he did too much in one go, he ended up having various health conditions that made him withdraw from festivals and performing live. This was apparently according to Wikipedia partly due to heavy alcohol consumption.

Now the lyrics of his recent release Without You, really hit home. We are without Avicii and it won't be the same without him.
