#AloeBlacc #WakeMeUp #Vevo #Pop
Most underrated artist in the history of music
Yea'
Didn't realize all of these songs were sung by him. Also that these songs came out so long ago. He's so good.
Faccts
For real tho, reminds me of my childhood
That’s high praise!!!
Why did you hide this beautiful singer from me internet? Why?
I am askin the same question 😣
Wait you only just found about him?
Ikr he's an ANGLE!!!!❤❤
You guys probably knew "I need a dollar" which is a legendary song
Ivan Cipta they didn’t. This is the singer from the actual wake me up by avicii. Rip
How did it take me THIS LONG to find this version? Aloes vocals are half the reason I fell on love with this song. I'm definitely an Avicii fan, but this version is amazing and I'm 100% here for it.
Just found this today😞... now I'm fully in
found it today as well :)
Same
Fact ❤
Right 👍🏽😊
How is this 8 years old?? I remember seeing it on KZhead one year after its release. Wow. This song never gets old.
Exactly. I'm 22. I listened to this at 16. Love this song love Blacc. Perfection.
TRUE
Sure
@Jan Dubielecki q
It's not even one of the best songs I've ever heard 🇨🇦
Aloe needs tons of more credit then he got. Everyone thinks Avicci made this song by him self
For your information in avicii's documentary he gave him tons of credits.
So... are both version (Avicii & this) official?
@@gdottothegamer1001 Yes! This is just an acoustic version
@@Jake-lm7cc ahh ok, thx
@@gdottothegamer1001 no problem :)
Why is everyone thanking only Avicii. This was a collaboration between Aloe Blacc and Avicii. We should both thank both artists for collabing this song. This is an acoustic version of Aloe Blacc even though they both worked on this. RIP Tim Berg (Avicii) for being an amazing and young legend of EDM and thank you Aloe For you amazing voice and talent🙏🏼
He is only singing avicci did most off the text
SweJoel bernholm dude that's obvious, he didn't say the oposite
VisualsOf LC absolutely true! Aloe Blacc’s AMAZING voice and the musical talents of Avicii made this song a legend! It’s kind of hard for some people to accept the fact the people of color are exceptional too...
Because Avicii has a tragic story and as his fan I feel like I owe everything to him. And also, whilst Aloe wrote the lyrics and sang, my favourite part is the actual track. I'm not saying I don't like his voice, I love it, I just like the music more.
I agree Aloe blacc was also a piece in the puzzle, RESPECT
All this time I was finding myself and i didn't know I was lost, that line hits harder as you get older. Powerful song. Still loving it in 2022.
Yes, they do. 🌺
Me too, love Aloe Blacc
Very true!
B
That's my favorite line too... Gets me thinking 🤔
This song is 9yrs old. Anytime someone likes this comment I would come back to listen to this.
come back
❤😊
Can you hear me SOS Rest in peace ◢ ◤

Great song :-)
Your voice is amazing mate..😍😍
Aloe If you can you hould talk to Florence and the machine and make a single it would be a freaking awesome song i just Know it
.
Can't believe I only just found out Avicii is not actually singing his own songs, really like his DJ skills, but I by far prefer your version! Great song and voice :)!
A great example of some black talent hidden by the industry
I don't care if he's underrated or not. He's one the greatest artists
This is a underrated singer. This man should have more subs
WAY more subs! His voice suits so many styles.
Of course adele hitler
"Underrated"... Kinda everyone know "I need a dollar"
True!
It’s bc he just sang a song that already exist’s

I love this version so much. Somehow even more raw emotion and beauty. His voice gives me chills. What a gorgeous song and video.
Hello 👋 Melanie. How are you doing? Hope you are fine. I'm Zack Hudson and am from Denver Colorado. Where are you from? You seem like a real country girl
His voice is so beautiful!!!
How am I barely listening to this artist? Legit, this brought tears to my eyes.
Je RRY check me out I'm a DJ I have anxiety I can relate to his pain
Most people probably don't know who Aloe Blacc is; most people probably don't know that he also worked on this song with Avicii; most people who do know him or have even heard of him probably don't know what a great talent he is. That needs to change. Aloe is so underrated. He has such an amazing voice and soft, well-spoken, inspirational words, but gets hardly any recognition. Aloe deserves to be one of the most admired musicians of his time. Rest in peace, Avicii. The whole world should give a standing ovation to Aloe & mourn the death of Avicii. Thank you, Aloe, for being such an admirable, aspiring, astonishing, amazing talent! And you, too, Avicii!
I’m here because he was The Mushroom in The Masked Singer. Really good!!
We know now #maskedsinger
Amen.

Still this song speaks to your soul.. No matter what situation your in
So true🥹
Aloe's music never fails to get me emotional.
It's healing. Like aloe!
R.I.P. Tim but at least we have Aloe to carry on the song
Hes the original creator?

I love Aloe’s voice, great artist!! 👏👏
I have seen comments saying that Wake Me Up would be nothing without Aloe Blacc's vocals. Well that's still a compliment for Avicii. He picked his singer wisely and made a masterpiece from combining his music with Aloe's vocals. Avicii knew how to create music that could reach people's heart. To bad people never got to reach Avicii's heart. Rest In Peace Avicii
It took me 7 yrs to find and understand this song in this version.

Aloe Blacc his voice is amazing really talented singer💕💕😭👑 💎
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 Hope I get the chance to travel the world But I don't have any plans 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 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
Everyone can identify with this ….😊
No one. No one can do that song like that! No one but Aloe. Aloe's very medicinal, soothing and therapeutic.
“We didn’t realize we were making memories, we were just having fun” -Winnie the Pooh
Than you don’t know the meaning of music. Songs are memories, it’s always connected with certain events in your life.
Stfu you don't care about the song considering you have spammed this comment every where on aloe and Avicii's vids
@@fightingforfreedom5017 dumb.
Amen
i will tell my son "do you know this legends song?"
wake brother! Technically it’s not just his song, he’s only the vocals. Avicii and him collaborated on everything, Aloe is the vocals, Avicii did all the original beats, this is just an acoustic version
Of that we're sure.
pls lol
And what if you have a daughter?
@@wakebrother7277 well that escalated quickly
One of the most underrated artist of the generation.... a natural talent
Holy sh*t! This deserves a billion views... This song has traveled around the globe, yet still Aloe Blacc is so underrated 💔😭
Okay to everyone who wants to start arguments over "whose song it is" it's Aloe Blacc, Avicii, and Mike Eizinger's collectively. Mike and Avicii came up with the chord progression and melody. And Aloe Blacc wrote all the lyrics. Avicii said in an interview with MTV "We came up with the chord progression and melody, 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." They recorded an acoustic version that night, and Avicii made the dance mix most people are familiar with a few days later. So give them both their dues. It's not one or the others song, it's both their song. And the Mike guy too🤣 So stop arguing and enjoy the good music.
Mike from incubus? Thats awesome
No one is arguing but you and your personalities.
Avicii should of just stayed away from it, who the hell thought country folk would be better with a dance track behind it and 400 layers of reverb like he's in a fish bowl? also this music video is a lot better than "Beautiful model feels rejected by town of ugly people and feels herself at an avicii concert.
@@Yep108 look at the comments everyone is arguing i think that anyone with eyes could see that 👀
@@SomeGuy_Somewhere the 2 billion views on Avicii's "wake me up" vid would say otherwise, go cry :)
I'm going to be honest. Aloe Blacc's gotta be one of the best singers I've ever heard. His voice is incredible.
Ohhh what a guy this guy is just awesome 2022 love it
It sounds pretty common and mediocre to me. I guess I've heard a lot of good vocalists.
The lyrics make much more sense in this version. This gave me chills.
This man is very talented and I hope he make a more music like this for us
I am a diehard rock fan, but Aloe Blacc is the only musician from today who I respect
The GeoBaller ikr. Altough i think Kelly clarkson is amazing and underrated as Well, she just isn't that active anymore...
The GeoBaller there should be more true singers like him, fortunatly we also ham adam young
The GeoBaller I know right
The Darkness is pretty good
THIS IS THE BEST VERSION OF WAKE ME UP!!!
Nop. Avicii version is best
Karlos Coke Aloe Blacc performs the vocals from the Avicii version. Avicii is simply the producer.
This is the orginal Wake me up!
@@chajinchotscha-8366original? Song made after Avicii’s
I don't know why I'm cryin' 🥺🥺🥺😭. Depression is a disease. I suffer from it. I've tremendous pressure to just see the smile on their faces. But how to say no. I feel myself leavin'. A part of me wanna go. Pleaz pray 4 me.🙏🏼 WAKE ME UP
Once we're all together we're best friends forever
Avicii's song was nothing without aloe blacc's voice
@@RapiShow The song wouldn’t really be a thing without Aloe,he wrote the lyrics they worked on it together
Exactly
@@RapiShow bruh i literally said "song" not songs
without Avicii's music, this song would've been into oblivion like it was before that....look at how many people knew this song existed before Avicii remixed it? I think 2 years back I saw it had 4 million views? in contrast, Avicii had 1.5 billion....and in both songs, Aloee Blacc had his voice then why this song no one knew existed? why no one like this much? why everyone knows the Wake me up song by the name Avicii only? no one knew this was Aloe Blacc's voice ? Bottom line : everyone has content but how you market it and how you present it makes all the difference. This song you'll like when you're down and you want something soothing whereas that Avicii song can rock the entire party...that was the power of Avicii's music making capability....to turn an average song into an amazing one...same song same singer but one song no one knew....one song the entire world knows. In short : Aloee Blacc would've been nothing and would've been unrecognized without Avicii.
Whatever. This is a beautiful song. Avicii and Aloe are two master musicians. Though I believe that Avicii made this song really fly. That's the beauty of good songs. There's always someone out there who hasn't forgot and can give a half-dead song new life. Avicii did it really good.❤️
“I wish that I could stay for ever this young, not afraid to close my eyes, life’s a game made for everyone and loves a prize” It’s sad but its true 🙁
Wake me up when I am older and wiser... Classic lines! Who else is rocking to this song in 2023!??
What a fantastic voice this fella has
This is so much better than the version on the radio.
Im Mexican and i see things like this everyday, im happy that such an amazing artist does a video like this one, im mostly a Rock and Metal fan but this? this is just beautiful.
I love this version. That voice is sublime!
Woooow! Tears. Only cause I know people are living these stories everyday. ❤️❤️ Aloe Black, Your voice is incredible in telling this story. Thank you for this message.
This song literally put tears in my eyes.....the video is so touching...I'm latina and even thought I am legal in this country. I care for those who aren't and came here with a dream and for those little kids that have been separated from their families. Aloe Blacc you are the man!
Is the real song 😁💖 suerte así es tan triste el egoísmo del mundo que mucho mexicanos van a al gran país a trabajar para poder vivir mejor y eso está bien ayudar es lo más importante cuando entendamos eso el. Mundo será distinto
This video weighs heavy on me because I have a lot of friends who WERE illegal until the DREAM Act kicked in. One of my friends was upset and struggling years ago and I told her, "If you wish and REALLY need it, I will marry you so you can stay and work and try to make a life here." She was in shock that one of her best friends was willing to make that stretch for her.
@@DevilKai917 Good for you! Not everybody is willing to break the law to help illegals into their country. Bravo.
Finally the singer of the song.
Can't believe this is the original song😢... OMG the best I have ever heard
Had the HONOR to play with Aloe Blacc . What a TALENTED GIFTED HONORABLE HUMAN BEING. HOPE TO DO IT AGAIN ☺️
Aloe deserves as much as credit as avicii does. People needs realize that Avicii is a DJ/Producer he didn’t sing this song
Everyone knows that but the thing is what a great songs he made
What a great person
@@vikaskumarrao5947 Yeah aloe bacc carried the song
True
@@ntb1132 No he just singet it wtf fool
I am so glad I can find a artist that uses little to no autotune! And he has clean lyrics and no slurs! Praise Jesus!
What a greater story, thanks God someone thought about the struggle of the less fortunate.
Hello 👋 Nancy. How are you doing? Hope you are fine. I'm Zack Hudson and am from Denver Colorado. Where are you from? You seem like a real country girl
You are a freaking magician Aloe Blacc, how could you come up with a composition (and lyrics to complement it) that touches us so deep inside no physical thing could ever penetrate! Wow!! Just wow!!!
So beautiful... I think I may like this version better
amen
I prefer the original but this is really good too
As a Proud Mexican 🇲🇽American, This Video Makes me Cry every single time I watch it, it's the Story Of My Family and Mine...And of Millions of Latino Brothers and search of the American Dream, Brown Pride Forever, and Thank you Aloe for Supporting us and Loving us the Hispanics/Latinos 🇲🇽🇸🇻🇬🇹🇭🇳🇳🇮🇵🇦🇨🇺🇨🇱🇩🇴🇨🇴🇪🇨🇦🇷❤

Bueno faltaron 🇵🇪🇻🇪🇧🇴🇧🇷🇺🇾🇵🇾👌

So your family tried to illegally cross a border? That don’t sound good...
✊🏾
Still can't believe this classic is a decade old
Excellent singer and they don't give him the position he deserves
whenever you're feeling down, just remember these wise words "I can't tell where the journey will end but i know where to start"
personally this version (the OG)..is way better than what avicci made….
This isn't the original, avicii's version is: 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,[10] 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 Blaccand 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 the two of us wrote them in a couple of hours and we finished the track." Upload date avicii's video: 29 July '13 Release date of Aloe's song: 20 october '13 And EDM isn't supposed to have a lot of meaning, because it isn't about the lyrics, but the music
And how would this version have more meaning than the original, when it has the same lyrics?
Appreciate it!
i agree with you traven64, this video has more meaning to it because these people are going through something that's hard not only on them but family as well
I heard this song on the radio and i feel in love with it! p.s.I absolutely hated the video Avicii made for his version of the song. I watched the video for the first time today and it was f**** awful.
Cómo es posible que tan hermosa canción tenga pocas visitas el mundo debería saber de dónde la saco el grande Avicii 🥹de nuevo que hermosa canción
What a voice.. AMAZING.. I need a cuddle💜
How relevant this song still is. Definitely underrated! Love you Aloe Blacc ❤ 🤍 💙
aloe, the voice of my generation.
All the times I have heard this song I hadn't a clue who he was ,what a great voice and talent.
i didnt know that i was lost till Jesus found me.Then it all, was worth it.
Just keep yo jead up.
I can't believe I didn't know this was the original! This is so much better *.*
Yea it is
This isn't the original. This is just a new acoustic version
Pepijn Vink nope, if you search aloe blacc wake me up the first one is the original, but the second one that is on there clearly says that one is acoustic.
austin janssen so you're saying the same as me but you're still disagreeing?
“Wake Me Up (Acoustic)” 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 [x2:] 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 Hope I get the chance to travel the world But I don't have any plans Wish that I could stay forever this young Not afraid to close my eyes Life's a game made for everyone And love is the prize [x2:] 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 [x4:] 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 Your welcome 😇 most of the lyrics people gave you guys was incorrect so I wanted to give you the correct one 🙏🏽
Thank you so much for lyrics👍🏾😁
Thank you
Thank you
this is the best song ever
Last 5x not 4x
This version made me emotional, it's deep.
this voice, wow makes me shudder to tears and makes my skin craw 😍
This brought tears to my eyes, I can't even explain
This song... This is beautiful. It inspires me, and this video makes me understand the lyrics even more. Watching this makes me think "We must not be judged by where we are from. We must have freedom." (And by the way, 205 people clicked the wrong button.)
Your comments about aloe blac make Me Wanna cry
Aloe wrote the lyrics. Beautiful
aloe , avicii and mike .All 3 of them
Thank God! why in music there is no racism. I love this song!
There is racist music, but those who make and produce it are rarely given a second glance and rightfully so.
well put. such a great jam
Wrong..... lol look up Johnny Rebel and David Allen Coe
Some country music
send them all back to africa by johnny rebel
I was searching for the original version ever since I heard the original version. My life is complete now...
No effects, no crazy lighting...just pure talent

When a song's so perfect it haves you goosebumps
yes it haves me goosebumps too

I know I’m not the only who thought…. And you probably can finish that sentence because y’all know exactly what I’m about to say lol. I’m glad I found this dudes voice.
I was in a sad place in life when this song dropped. Inspired me to be better .
I love this version!
This is the original
Nicholas Covucci This is the Acoustic version. The original is on the Avicii Vevo
Badlands Rise Avicii is a dj, this music is original by aloe blacc.
Hugo Góis dos Santos The lyrics are by Aloe but the music was actually originally written by Avicii. He went to Aloe to help him put some words to it.
You meant the ORIGINAL/OFFICIAL versioin
I cry every time listen to this guy music
😭😭😭😭
Even the everyday heroe on sesame street .
I actually never heard this version. I like it ❤❤❤❤
Same here

Aloe- his voice. ❤
damn the end of the video with the guard hit hard with the emotion I appreciate them using actual people who have lived this story
first time listening this version. And it's just amazing. 😢 Rip Avicii
It truly is.
He's the real singer. This song was a collaboration between Aloe and Avicii.
Wht happen
we love u ◢ ◤Avicii = King👑🤍

I agree with you nomad. As a unified Nation who appreciates music of the heart, no matter who wrote it or who's singing. It's all about how the music makes you feel. Not being ignorant and arguing over who sang or who wrote the song. Only people who have nothing better to do with their life, argue over things a kindergartener wouldn't give a hoot who sang it or wrote it, they would just lay back and enjoy the sound that touches their heart and causes them to move. "The mind is a terrible thing to waste."
well said Rhonda!
