It has been seven years since the world lost Tim Bergling—known across the globe as Avicii—yet his presence continues to echo across dancefloors, headphones, and hearts. Today, his unmistakable voice returns through the posthumous single “Let’s Ride Away”, featuring acclaimed singer-songwriter Elle King, the emotional centerpiece of a powerful new retrospective album, Avicii Forever.
More than just a song, “Let’s Ride Away” is a deeply personal message from an artist whose music defined a generation. It’s a final chapter—written in melody, sealed in memory, and delivered with love.
A Farewell Set to Melody: Inside “Let’s Ride Away”
From the first shimmering note, “Let’s Ride Away” feels cinematic. Like the soundtrack to a sunrise road trip, or the theme to a chapter you never wanted to end. Elle King’s raspy, heartfelt vocals take center stage, delivering lyrics that feel almost prophetic:
“It’s in the sky, it’s in the air / If I get lost, I’ll meet you there / We can’t stop ‘til we find our place / Let’s saddle up and ride away.”
These words speak to anyone who has ever felt out of place, overwhelmed, or in search of peace. They are the kind of lyrics that Avicii always excelled at—simple, yet profound. Intimate, yet universal.
Though its message is tender and emotional, the production stays true to Avicii’s uplifting style. A vibrant horn section rises into an electrifying drop that’s destined for festival mainstages and road trip playlists alike. The blend of acoustic instrumentation and electronic energy reminds us of the genre-blurring genius that Avicii pioneered.
Avicii Forever: A Soundtrack for the Spirit
Avicii Forever is more than just a compilation of hits. It’s a journey through the emotional and sonic evolution of one of electronic music’s most important artists. The 19-track album includes remastered classics, rare gems, and unreleased projects—all curated to honor Tim Bergling’s artistic vision and emotional depth.
From the euphoric explosion of “Levels” to the folk-infused anthem “Hey Brother”, and the genre-defining “Wake Me Up”, the album paints a portrait of an artist who saw dance music not just as entertainment—but as a vessel for human connection.
And now, “Let’s Ride Away” joins that legacy—not just as another posthumous release, but as a bookend to the story he spent his life telling.
A Legacy Etched in Sound
Avicii’s legacy cannot be measured by streams or chart positions alone. He was a pioneer who brought acoustic guitars into EDM, who merged folk storytelling with electronic drops, and who turned personal pain into powerful anthems. His sound was warm and human in a genre often criticized for its cold digital precision. He made us dance—but he also made us feel.
“Let’s Ride Away” captures that spirit perfectly. It’s both a tribute and a time capsule. A reminder of why Avicii’s music never felt like a trend, but rather a movement.
The Final Gift: Music That Heals, Music That Stays
There’s something hauntingly poetic about this release. It feels like a letter from beyond—a note to fans who still play his music when they need to feel something real. In that sense, Avicii hasn’t truly left us. His rhythms still pulse through our daily lives. His melodies still hold space in moments of joy, sorrow, nostalgia, and celebration.
Let’s Ride Away is not just a song for today. It’s a song for anyone, anywhere, who has ever longed for escape, for peace, or for someone who understood. It is a final ride—one that Avicii invites us to take with him, one last time.
For Tim, For Us, Forever
Tim Bergling once said, “When I die, I want to be remembered for the life I lived, not the money I made.”
With Avicii Forever, he gets exactly that. A living, breathing tribute that transcends commercial success and speaks instead to something deeper—something timeless.
“Let’s Ride Away” is his voice in the wind. His beat in the earth. A parting gift that says: You’re not alone. I’m still with you. Let’s ride away, together.
And for those who loved him—for those who still press play and feel something—they know the truth:
Avicii never truly left.
He just changed forms.
Now, he lives in the music.
Forever.
