Tim and Chris Martin wrote and recorded “Heaven” in 2014, with Tim producing the final version in 2016.
About the tribute video: My name is Levan Tsikurishvili and I have been working with Tim since about 2013. During these years, we made 8 music videos, 3 concert movies and 2 documentaries together. In 2016, right after his last show, Tim, Tim’s childhood friend Awat, and I spent 19 beautiful days in Madagascar, ll Saint Marie. We spoke about everything, laughed, played monopoly, hung out with lemurs, and explored the entire island together. Now, two-and-a-half years later, I returned to the island to remember Tim, to honor his legacy, and to recreate the memories that will stay with us forever.
Note: This video is a collection of my smartphone videos plus some parts of unused material from the documentary Avicii: True Stories and newly shot footage. I also did some 3D animations in order to recreate the moments that I did not have any video material from.

Lyrics:
Step out into the dawn You pray ’til, you pray ’til the lights come on And then you feel like you’ve just been born Yeah, you come to raise me up When I’m beaten and broken up And now I’m back in the arms I love
And I think I just died I think I just died Yeah, I think I just died I think I just died And went to heaven (Ooh) And went to heaven (Ooh)
Beaten and bathed in blood I'm hit by, I'm hit by your love and drug And now you've come to raise me up (Oh)
And I think I just died I think I just died I think I just died Yeah, I think I just died And went to heaven (Ooh) And went to heaven (Ooh) And went to heaven
It’s such a night, such a beautiful night It’s such a view, such a beautiful sight I think I just, oh, I think I just died (Ooh) And went to heaven (Ooh) And went to heaven (Ooh) (Oh, yeah) (Ooh) (Yeah)
We’re gonna be birds and fly We're gonna set the world alight We’re gonna lose ourselves tonight (Ooh) We’re going be birds and fly We're gonna set the world alight We’re gonna lose ourselves tonight (Ooh)

In heaven (Heaven)Avicii - Hey Brother (Live in Uncasville, True Tour 2014)Avicii2023-10-09 | Ten years ago, on the 9th of September 2013, Hey Brother was released as one of the lead singles on True, an album that came to shape a new era of electronic dance music. This is raw footage of Avicii performing Hey Brother live at the True Tour: a mix of the demo version transitioning into the official song featuring the vocals of American bluegrass musician Dan Tyminski.
The fusion between house and bluegrass in Hey Brother is a perfect representation of Avicii’s ability to seamlessly blend different genres, creating the unique sound of True that transcended the boundaries of genres and left a lasting impact on the music landscape.
In loving memory of Tim Bergling (1989 – 2018).

Noonie Bao), the finishing track on the Avicii posthumous album ”TIM” (lnk.to/TIMAlbum ) released earlier this year and written by Avicii (Tim Bergling), Carl Falk, Joakim Berg and Joe Janiak – is being released in a new version. Featuring the artist MishCatt, the new version (https://Avicii.lnk.to/FadesAway ) will be performed at the Avicii Tribute Concert for Mental Health Awareness at Friends Arena in Aviciis’s hometown of Stockholm, December 5th. “Fades Away - Tribute Concert Version” is available on all platforms 2PM CET, December 5th.
“This was the first song that came out of the sessions with Tim, Carl Falk, Joe Janiak and me in the spring of 2018. Tim and Joe met for the first time this day, and Tim just loved Joe’s voice and vibe from the start. We talked briefly about 60s & 70s bands and artists being quite comfortable working in pop but still having this otherworldly weirdness about their songs. How they made giant leaps in mood and feel within just one song. This conversation unintentionally seeped into Fades Away. Carl started toying around with a climbing chord sequence on a synth with a piano sound and Joe sang along with Tim directing the rhythm. That became the verse and the rest was very fast. I had some chords and the beginning of the melody to the fades away part before the drop and it has a very 60's feel chord/melody-wise and is kind of weird but pretty. Tim and Joe finished the melody and came up with the words. The drop part with the staccato strings was originally played by Joe and Carl on two acoustic guitars, Tim had the stacc melody down on keys and then he was making Carl play a super fast, very specific rhythm with hard accents that was really difficult to play but sounded quite amazing and was hilarious to watch. Tim just loved the "don't you love it, how it all just fades away" part of the lyric. It may now come across as a sad song, but for us in the studio, writing it, we felt it was uplifting and light hearted. We wrote it in a bright mode, sort of carefree, and there were lots of laughing and joking, so for me Fades Away will always be a positive song, a simple message about accepting changes, the passing of time and making the best of what you have.” – Joakim Berg
All of the troubled times that we have overcome All of the trials to find somewhere that we belong All I know is that with you I'm holding on Cause all of the days out All of the days out on the run
Don't you love it how it all just fades away When your clothes don't feel the songs of yesterday And I can't go back And I can't go back Don't you love it How it all It all just fades away
It all just fades away
All of the tracks we traced, we raced to reach the sun All of the lights to find a place where we belong All I know is that with you I'm moving on Cause all of the days out All of the days out on the run
And I can't go back And I can't go back Don't you love it How it all It all just fades away
It all just fades away it all just fades away It all just fades away
And I can’t go back And I can’t go back Don’t you love it How it all It all just fades awayThe Story Behind The David Guetta & MORTEN Tribute Remix of HeavenAvicii2019-10-22 | Description:
