... and so do I, especially since he writes lyrics like the ones below. I don't know the story behind this song and its lyrics, but at face value, I like 'em. Megan's been playing it in the car lately. Plus Avicii is Swedish. We have Swedish ancestry. I went to Stockholm last year. It's pretty rich with history and culture. And it's beautiful in the summer; it's an archipelago like Venice (which I didn't realize until I visited). And I like Swedish meatballs, lingonberries, herring, and reindeer meat. And Vikings. And the warship Vasa.
From Avicii's "The Nights"
Went face to face with all our fears
Learned our lessons through the tears
Made memories we knew would never fade
One day my father, he told me
"Son, don't let it slip away"
He took me in his arms, I heard him say
"When you get older
Your wild heart will live for younger days
Think of me if ever you're afraid"
He said: "One day you'll leave this world behind
So live a life you will remember"
My father told me when I was just a child
"These are the nights that never die"
My father told me
When thunder clouds start pouring down
Light a fire they can't put out
Carve your name into those shining stars
He said: "Go venture far beyond the shores
Don't forsake this life of yours
I'll guide you home, no matter where you are"
