AVICIII tried carrying the weight of the world. But I only have two hands.
AVICIII can’t tell where the journey will end But I know where to start.
AVICIIIf I wanted to make a quick buck, there’s far easier ways of doing it. What I want is to provoke people. If you want a hit song, all you need to do is rewrite an old song. It might have been proven to work, but you won’t be remembered the same way.
AVICIII make sure to use both Twitter and Facebook a lot which helps me connect to the fans.
AVICIILife’s a game made for everyone, and love is the prize.
AVICIIAll this time I was finding myself and I didn’t know I was lost.
AVICIIHouse music originated in America, and it has always been around, but I guess it just got a tighter hold on Europe and other parts of the world.
AVICIII’m good at melody – I’ll write the top-line melody and ideal words I want to go with it. But I’m not that good at writing lyrics. I bounce those back and forth with songwriters or someone who can sing.
AVICIII think I am a pretty good judge of character in general and try to surround myself with the best people I can.
AVICIIWhen I started working on electronic music, that was after the rave period. I haven’t even seen that part of it that much.
AVICIIWhen it comes to electronic music, I started listening to a lot of Daft Punk, way before I knew what house music was, and then progressed into a lot of Steve Angello, Eric Prydz, Axwell, Sebastian Ingrosso, and Laidback Luke.
AVICIII actually only started listening to house music around the time I started making it. I got hooked both to making music and to house music.
AVICIIThere’s always haters, no matter what you’re doing – whether they’re complaining that everything you do sounds the same, or it’s too different.
AVICIII have always been mainstream. It’s so weird, because I don’t see it as something negative at all. So many people see it as something negative.
AVICIIDance music is like a virus, it has affected so many different genres.
AVICIII grew up listening to a lot of Ray Charles and ’60s rock, thanks to my father, and then my brothers got me in to KISS and whatnot, so I guess that’s where I got my first taste for music.
