Music / Stories

Maybe it might be time for a better day.

I hear echoes of a thousand screams
As I lay me down to sleep
There's a black hole deep inside of me
Reminding me
That I lost my backbone
Somewhere in Stockholm
I lost my backbone
Somewhere in Stockholm

Monday left me broken, Tuesday I was through with troping:

• Alliterative Name: "Can't Catch Me" and "Somewhere In Stockholme".
• "Days of the Week" Song: "Waiting for Love" lists all seven days: he's heartbroken Monday through Wednesday, waiting for love on Thursday, partying on Friday and Saturday, and then on Sunday waiting for love again.
• Human Traffickers: The music video of "For A Better Day" revolves around this and child sexual slavery. The two kids who escaped the ordeal returned as adults on a murder spree, targeting the men who purchased from the truck and the seller, who became a corrupt political figure.
• Special Guest: Notable guest singers in this album includes Simon Aldred, Chris Martin and Zac Brown.
• Step Up to the Microphone: Avicii, who normally relies on other people to sing his songs, provides vocals in "True Believer" along with Chris Martin.

Make your heart feel the way it should

Cause I swear you deserve so good
