Song of the Day - The Days - Avicii, Robbie Williams

Under the tree where the grass don't grow

We made a promise to never get old

You had a chance and you took it on me

And I made a promise that I couldn't keep

This past Sunday would have been Avicii's 30 birthday.  Though we're a couple of days late, I couldn't let the day pass without a mention.  His surprising and untimely death is still such a big loss for the dance music world and the whole music world in general.  Here's one of my favorite songs of his, a collaboration with Robbie Williams on a tender ballad turned dance tune.  Check out The Days...

You had a chance and you took it on me

Back in 2014, Avicii released a two-track EP called The Days/The Nights, and this first of two songs is one of my favorite Avicii tunes ever.  It features British singer Robbie Williams on vocals and the arrangement is splendid, with acoustic guitars and a melancholic synth rhythm to accompany the verses and a crescendo at the chorus.  Great song!  Check out The Days...

I almost forgot about superstar Swedish deejay/producer Avicii until I was looking for something different to listen to yesterday and I came across his playlist.  It's been a long time since we've heard anything significant from him, so here's a gem from his 2014 The Days/Nights EP featuring British crooner Robbie Williams.  Great tune!
