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.
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 :)!
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🙏🏼
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.
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
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 2025 and beyond.
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 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
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.
just the most beautiful voice Aloe, thank you for this gift - such incredible range and emotion - this song just gets better every time I hear it , one of those rare songs you can hear and feel at the same time
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.
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.
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
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.)
This guy really dropped two incredible, goose bump giving songs with heart wrenching music videos to go with, then dipped. 😭 come back man, we need you!!
“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 🙏🏽
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.
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 🇲🇽🇸🇻🇬🇹🇭🇳🇳🇮🇵🇦🇨🇺🇨🇱🇩🇴🇨🇴🇪🇨🇦🇷❤
I used to listen to in middle school. Which is a few years back. I'm sooooo glad that he is finally getting the shine and recognition he has always deserved!
Millions of people migrate to the United States LEGALLY. Through sweat and tears. And they were able to do it. So WHY do some people still prefer to be illegal???
@@mountainous_port I don't know, but some of us have the resources to do it legally like my family did 18 years ago, but we even had to sell everything and leave everyone we knew... for a better life... so I can understand why so many people try to do it illegally.
This administration supports legal immigration, just not ILLEGAL. Every country in the world has immigration laws and enforce them for many reasons. And, so should the USA.
There should be no countries, but every country that exists should have open borders, just like they used to. Even from a capitalist perspective it makes no sense - immigrants and refugees create more wealth and jobs than they "take". The 1% sucks far more wealth from the economy than any amount of welfare. It's pure racism and fascism - those with power scapegoating the effects of their greed on those without. Join a union, preferably an anarchist one.
This song touches a special spot for alot of people.. I send my prayers to those going thru this ... this song will definitely bring tears to your eyes
Thank you so much for this beautiful job, for letting others to see our struggles, our fight for a better life. We all have paid the price to be here through our sacrifices. Love you guys. Aloe Blacc you are amazing!!!! Super talented. Thank you.
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!!!
Como canta esse cara mano tá louco, ele e o avicii faria uma bela dupla. que o avicii descanse em paz e o aloe eu só desejo sucesso na caminhada, com certeza não vai demorar muito pra ser um dos melhores cantores do mundo, saudações do Brasil irmão 🖤🇧🇷
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.
Está música tem vida!!!! é maravilhosa cheguei aqui somente e ouvir uma vez, e busquei estou impressionada como ela dar vida aos sonhos e força!!!! BRASIL AQUI!!!!
OK, I know it’s late but I gotta say this right quick. This just popped up in my recommended and I haven’t heard this song since I was 11 years old so it’s been 10 years the first time I’ve heard this song in 10 years so see how it is.
I loved this song the very first time I heard it. The video is awesome and even though it makes me cry I always stop what I'm doing to watch it when it's playing.
@@drutter I lived in Mexico for 2 years. It's a beautiful place with beautiful, caring people but we left after safety concerns; we were able to take a flight back to the USA where it was safer so I totally get why they would risk their lives to come here. I think if there wasn't so much money wasted by the government, we could easily afford an increased population but they are too greedy to allow for anything nice, fair and just. Like with all good things, there's always a few who have to take advantage and make it bad and that is what the cartels do in Mexico; why else would people want to leave such a beautiful place
Nos dias de hoje, escutar uma música de qualidade é difícil. Amei seu estilo, me leva ao passado, tempo bom em tudo. Amo a sua classe no palco, seus trajes, você é maravilhoso. Muito sucesso pra você.🇧🇷

That’s high praise!!!
I love you, Aloe Blacc. This song is forever a gem
How am I barely listening to this artist? Legit,
this brought tears to my eyes.

I don't care if he's underrated or not. He's one the greatest artists
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?

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.

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 song so criminally underrated 😢
It aint really underrated,It has more than five hundred million views😂
Aloe Blacc his voice is amazing really talented singer💕💕😭👑 💎
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.
“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”

“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

Como canta esse cara mano tá louco, ele e o avicii faria uma bela dupla. que o avicii descanse em paz e o aloe eu só desejo sucesso na caminhada, com certeza não vai demorar muito pra ser um dos melhores cantores do mundo, saudações do Brasil irmão 🖤🇧🇷
The Vocals always made me love this song
This song is 9yrs old. Anytime someone likes this comment I would come back to listen to this.
come back

Time to Wake up
I'll Wake you up then
2024 here
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?
Está música tem vida!!!! é maravilhosa cheguei aqui somente e ouvir uma vez, e busquei estou impressionada como ela dar vida aos sonhos e força!!!! BRASIL AQUI!!!!
Música muito boa!!
✌️✌️✌️✌️✌️✌️
OK, I know it’s late but I gotta say this right quick. This just popped up in my recommended and I haven’t heard this song since I was 11 years old so it’s been 10 years the first time I’ve heard this song in 10 years so see how it is.
A great example of some black talent hidden by the industry
I loved this song the very first time I heard it. The video is awesome and even though it makes me cry I always stop what I'm doing to watch it when it's playing.
Yes, I love that video. Seeing all those people pouring into the country, getting the better life that they deserve, it makes me so happy.
@@drutter I lived in Mexico for 2 years. It's a beautiful place with beautiful, caring people but we left after safety concerns; we were able to take a flight back to the USA where it was safer so I totally get why they would risk their lives to come here. I think if there wasn't so much money wasted by the government, we could easily afford an increased population but they are too greedy to allow for anything nice, fair and just. Like with all good things, there's always a few who have to take advantage and make it bad and that is what the cartels do in Mexico; why else would people want to leave such a beautiful place
Btw, Aloe Blacc is one of my favourite artist of all time! 🫡
Nos dias de hoje, escutar uma música de qualidade é difícil. Amei seu estilo, me leva ao passado, tempo bom em tudo. Amo a sua classe no palco, seus trajes, você é maravilhoso. Muito sucesso pra você.🇧🇷
@larissa oliveira quem morreu foi o avicii, não o aloe.
