We didn\u2019t learn until after Avicii\u2019s passing that this song had made its way into Tim\u2019s hands and really resonated with him. We felt honored to have the opportunity to take it the last few steps to the finish line. This song means a lot to us, and we hope it will carry a positive message to anyone out there who is struggling with the hardships of daily life.
