Most underrated artist in the history of music

Why did you hide this beautiful singer from me internet? Why?

How did it take me THIS LONG to find this version? Aloes vocals are half the reason I fell on love with this song. I'm definitely an Avicii fan, but this version is amazing and I'm 100% here for it.

How is this 8 years old?? I remember seeing it on UKposts one year after its release. Wow. This song never gets old.

Why is everyone thanking only Avicii. This was a collaboration between Aloe Blacc and Avicii. We should both thank both artists for collabing this song. This is an acoustic version of Aloe Blacc even though they both worked on this. RIP Tim Berg (Avicii) for being an amazing and young legend of EDM and thank you Aloe For you amazing voice and talent🙏🏼

Aloe needs tons of more credit then he got. Everyone thinks Avicci made this song by him self

All this time I was finding myself and i didn't know I was lost, that line hits harder as you get older. Powerful song. Still loving it in 2022.

This song is 9yrs old. Anytime someone likes this comment I would come back to listen to this.

Can you hear me SOS Rest in peace ◢ ◤

This is a underrated singer. This man should have more subs

I don't care if he's underrated or not. He's one the greatest artists

His voice is so beautiful!!!

How am I barely listening to this artist? Legit, this brought tears to my eyes.

I love this version so much. Somehow even more raw emotion and beauty. His voice gives me chills. What a gorgeous song and video.

I love Aloe’s voice, great artist!! 👏👏

i will tell my son "do you know this legends song?"

2020? Anyone? Damn this song hits hard

A great example of some black talent hidden by the industry

Still this song speaks to your soul.. No matter what situation your in

My new single “The Man” is now available on iTunes. Get your copy at the link: po.st/TheManfb Much love.

R.I.P. Tim but at least we have Aloe to carry on the song

Aloe's music never fails to get me emotional.

One of the most underrated artist of the generation.... a natural talent

Most people probably don't know who Aloe Blacc is; most people probably don't know that he also worked on this song with Avicii; most people who do know him or have even heard of him probably don't know what a great talent he is. That needs to change. Aloe is so underrated. He has such an amazing voice and soft, well-spoken, inspirational words, but gets hardly any recognition. Aloe deserves to be one of the most admired musicians of his time. Rest in peace, Avicii. The whole world should give a standing ovation to Aloe & mourn the death of Avicii. Thank you, Aloe, for being such an admirable, aspiring, astonishing, amazing talent! And you, too, Avicii!

This man is very talented and I hope he make a more music like this for us

I have seen comments saying that Wake Me Up would be nothing without Aloe Blacc's vocals. Well that's still a compliment for Avicii. He picked his singer wisely and made a masterpiece from combining his music with Aloe's vocals. Avicii knew how to create music that could reach people's heart. To bad people never got to reach Avicii's heart. Rest In Peace Avicii

It took me 7 yrs to find and understand this song in this version.

Avicii's song was nothing without aloe blacc's voice

The lyrics make much more sense in this version. This gave me chills.

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 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 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 a prize 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 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 I didn't know I was lost I didn't know I was lost I didn't know I was lost I didn't know I was lost I didn't know

Aloe Blacc his voice is amazing really talented singer💕💕😭👑 💎

This is so much better than the version on the radio.

What a fantastic voice this fella has

Still can't believe this classic is a decade old

THIS IS THE BEST VERSION OF WAKE ME UP!!!

Finally the singer of the song.

No one. No one can do that song like that! No one but Aloe. Aloe's very medicinal, soothing and therapeutic.

Holy sh*t! This deserves a billion views... This song has traveled around the globe, yet still Aloe Blacc is so underrated 💔😭

“I wish that I could stay for ever this young, not afraid to close my eyes, life’s a game made for everyone and loves a prize” It’s sad but its true 🙁

I'm going to be honest. Aloe Blacc's gotta be one of the best singers I've ever heard. His voice is incredible.

Wake me up when I am older and wiser... Classic lines! Who else is rocking to this song in 2023!??

All the times I have heard this song I hadn't a clue who he was ,what a great voice and talent.

aloe, the voice of my generation.

Im Mexican and i see things like this everyday, im happy that such an amazing artist does a video like this one, im mostly a Rock and Metal fan but this? this is just beautiful.

I don't know why I'm cryin' 🥺🥺🥺😭. Depression is a disease. I suffer from it. I've tremendous pressure to just see the smile on their faces. But how to say no. I feel myself leavin'. A part of me wanna go. Pleaz pray 4 me.🙏🏼 WAKE ME UP

This version made me emotional, it's deep.

whenever you're feeling down, just remember these wise words "I can't tell where the journey will end but i know where to start"

Aloe deserves as much as credit as avicii does. People needs realize that Avicii is a DJ/Producer he didn’t sing this song

You are a freaking magician Aloe Blacc, how could you come up with a composition (and lyrics to complement it) that touches us so deep inside no physical thing could ever penetrate! Wow!! Just wow!!!

Had the HONOR to play with Aloe Blacc . What a TALENTED GIFTED HONORABLE HUMAN BEING. HOPE TO DO IT AGAIN ☺️

Okay to everyone who wants to start arguments over "whose song it is" it's Aloe Blacc, Avicii, and Mike Eizinger's collectively. Mike and Avicii came up with the chord progression and melody. And Aloe Blacc wrote all the lyrics. Avicii said in an interview with MTV "We came up with the chord progression and melody, but no real lyrics. None of us sing and we really needed to get that demo down and the only person I knew that lived in LA was Aloe, so I called him and he was free. Lyrics come really easy to him so he wrote them in a couple of hours and we finished the track." They recorded an acoustic version that night, and Avicii made the dance mix most people are familiar with a few days later. So give them both their dues. It's not one or the others song, it's both their song. And the Mike guy too🤣 So stop arguing and enjoy the good music.

I am a diehard rock fan, but Aloe Blacc is the only musician from today who I respect

i didnt know that i was lost till Jesus found me.Then it all, was worth it.

What a voice.. AMAZING.. I need a cuddle💜

How relevant this song still is. Definitely underrated! Love you Aloe Blacc ❤ 🤍 💙

I am so glad I can find a artist that uses little to no autotune! And he has clean lyrics and no slurs! Praise Jesus!

this voice, wow makes me shudder to tears and makes my skin craw 😍

I was in a sad place in life when this song dropped. Inspired me to be better .

0% nudety 0% alcoholism 100% talent Thx for 1 like

So beautiful... I think I may like this version better

What an amazing voice and message! I just want to sing this song out loud and hope that others will embrace this song like we all should.

What a greater story, thanks God someone thought about the struggle of the less fortunate.

This song... This is beautiful. It inspires me, and this video makes me understand the lyrics even more. Watching this makes me think "We must not be judged by where we are from. We must have freedom." (And by the way, 205 people clicked the wrong button.)

This song literally put tears in my eyes.....the video is so touching...I'm latina and even thought I am legal in this country. I care for those who aren't and came here with a dream and for those little kids that have been separated from their families. Aloe Blacc you are the man!

Woooow! Tears. Only cause I know people are living these stories everyday. ❤️❤️ Aloe Black, Your voice is incredible in telling this story. Thank you for this message.

Excellent singer and they don't give him the position he deserves

one of the best songs I've ever heard

This brought tears to my eyes, I can't even explain

I just discovered this artist and am already a fan.

These lyrics and his smooth, passionate voice make this song phenomenal, thank you for writing this and sharing it. It has made the weight of the world feel a bit lighter x

yo this has to be that one song that makes you want to do something big

“Wake Me Up (Acoustic)” 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 [x2:] 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 [x2:] 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 [x4:] I didn't know I was lost 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 Your welcome 😇 most of the lyrics people gave you guys was incorrect so I wanted to give you the correct one 🙏🏽

Can't believe this is the original song😢... OMG the best I have ever heard

No effects, no crazy lighting...just pure talent

damn the end of the video with the guard hit hard with the emotion I appreciate them using actual people who have lived this story

Wake me up when you guys stop fighting

Aloe wrote the lyrics. Beautiful

The Sad history of my beautiful people. Living un the shadows. Thanks so much for this great video. You touched my heart.❤

I cry every time listen to this guy music

Beautiful song, touching video. Aloe Blacc is a deep artist

_heard this on my walk today! thank you for this reminder of LOVE!_

Man, this brought me to tears with nostalgia!🥲

Thank God! why in music there is no racism. I love this song!

personally this version (the OG)..is way better than what avicci made….

Every time I hear this song, right from the first verse I get tears welling up in my eyes. I can’t help it, it’s every damn time. His voice is powerful ❤

Como canta esse cara mano tá louco, ele e o avicii faria uma bela dupla. que o avicii descanse em paz e o aloe eu só desejo sucesso na caminhada, com certeza não vai demorar muito pra ser um dos melhores cantores do mundo, saudações do Brasil irmão 🖤🇧🇷

I used to listen to in middle school. Which is a few years back. I'm sooooo glad that he is finally getting the shine and recognition he has always deserved!

I was searching for the original version ever since I heard the original version. My life is complete now...

If you come back to hear this legend music your a legend

This song just 'hits the nail on the head' as a reflection of how I feel most of the time. How reassuring, I'm not the only one.

When a song's so perfect it haves you goosebumps

I can't believe I didn't know this was the original! This is so much better *.*

love your voice

You deserve much more recognizing. I love this song since 2013 and didn't know you were the singer. Your voice is unbelievable!

who else actually preffers the accoustic version more than the electronic one

thank you for performing at our school 😭 this man used no auto tune just TALENT 💁🏽‍♀️

His vocals are underrated ❤️

I had never seen this video, and now that I have, this song has another level of love and respect from me.
