The Days

This is the first in a planned series of singles previewing Avicii's new album, tentatively due early spring 2015. Avicii's new lyric video for the Robbie Williams-assisted "The Days" is a testament to the creative power of words. Though, maybe not how one might first think.

In the clip, an artist spray-paints the lyrics of "The Days" against a white wall, more and more as the song goes on, filling the wall with black ink. Without much context, it at first seems like a pretty average method of showcasing the words of the guitar-driven, suped-up 1980s power ballad. But at the end, we see there's been a method in the painter's madness, revealing an impressive piece of work.

This song is about a person recovering onto something new. The person experienced heartbreaks, and heartaches, and made promises that were broken in their relationship... "And I made a promise that I couldn't keep, heartache, heart break..."

As painful as it was, a new person eventually came into their lives mending their heart. "But something flipped like a switch when you came around And I'm in pieces, pick me up and put me together..."

The day finally came when the person was able to recover, the day they've been waiting for- to move onto a new relationship. Although the person may not know what will take place in the future, they know that they will never forget these days nor regret the new chances that they'll take. "Neither of us knows what's in store, you just roll your window down and place your bets. These are the days we won't regret.These are the days we will never forget!"
