Lyrics
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
[2x]
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
[2x]
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
Didn't know I was lost
I didn't know I was lost
I didn't know I was lost
I didn't know (didn't know, didn't know)
Review
Genre boundaries in popular music are made to be breached. With this single, Swedish dance music master Avicii, the man behind the worldwide smash "Levels," swings a wrecking ball against electronic dance music borders. His new single "Wake Me Up" would work equally well in a contemporary dance club and as the soundtrack for country line dancing. R&B singer Aloe Blacc adds yet another genre busting dimension to the song.
Pros
Fearless smashing of genre boundaries
Aloe Blacc's soulful vocals
Powerfully catchy sound
Cons
No major negatives
