"I'm not sure it's good, but we have a song" turned out as one of the greatest edmanthems ever.

Hard to describe with words the impact Tim had on our lives.

[@edmondvalmont1546]

Yet you can describe it with music

This is the soundtrack of my teenage.Every time I listen to this masterpiece i remember the most beautiful and carefree moments of my life and this is a priceless gift.Thank you Nicky for sharing this beautiful story, you can't imagine how important is for me.◢ ◤ ❤️❤️❤️

[@nadavsade7351]

This song reminds me of the best memories in my life. Im getting goosebumps each and every time im listening to it. This is truly my all time favorite piece of music and for me that says it all...

[@laylacakes333]

Same!

[@nadavsade7351]

Update I heard this at Nicky’s set at Tomorrowland and it was one of the greatest moments of my life. Dreams can come true!

[@CSGStudios]

I've never missed an artist like I have Tim. It hurts.

[@hollytaylor-reeves]

Same! do u know why?

[@CSGStudios]

@@hollytaylor-reeves honestly for me, it's alot. He was my main influence in becoming a producer and artist. His understanding and implementation of melodic progression and chord selection and just all around music theory was amazing. If he made a melody. That melody was stuck in your head for weeks. He was so utterly talented and seeing my idol die at such a young age destroyed me. I miss him with every ounce of my soul. I would give 20 years of my life so he could live another 10. He helped me through so many problems and strifes. The power of his music is unmatched. Rest easy Tim.

[@hollytaylor-reeves]

@@CSGStudios I love that 🙏 he so much deserved better ❤️

[@RonSwanson_]

@@CSGStudios how do you know how many years you have?

[@timberg5009]

Avicii is watching this video from Heaven.

[@anechaofficial]

Just thought: "aahh I wonder how they made I Could Be The One". Searched for it, and found this.... 9 hours ago this material was released. I f***** love this world sometimes!! Thank you Nicky!

[@AntonioSS22]

I remember when the unreleased title for this track was "Fuck School". Haha good times.

[@RadiantRachie]

I remember that!!

[@coledagnan1938]

Avicii is the one that set me free ❤️❤️ #aviciiforever

[@OverdriveMusic]

Finally mustered up the courage to watch the 2019 Tribute Concert last week. I was in tears for 2 days! What a beautiful, talented soul we lost. His melodies will live on forever!

[@MrDefrankoliver]

Cried watching this video. Back in time when "I could be the one" came out I was just a teenager that loved electronic music. I became an Avicii fan since I discovered him. That music is the music of my life. It's sad to no have him with us, but I'm grateful to have the opportunity to enjoy all his art. Nicktim ❤️

[@ПавелИлларионов-ц8в]

Hi Nick, I want to say that absolutely every musician that Tim has worked with during his career has gradually affected his music. It may not be noticeable, but shy and quiet people try to change themselves in different ways. They try to show their personality to the world, so they start taking something from everyone and collecting a puzzle of their life. They learning the whole life and trying to find themselves. I want to express my gratitude to the people who worked with Tim and helped him to find his life route.

[@yararouzofficial]

Жаль Тима не вернуть ,я каждый день кручу его треки альбомами,и мне кажется его музыка мне не надоест даже когда мне будет 50 -70 ,если доживу))) Вообще я считаю что Тим,это современная классика и пора в школах на уроках музыки преподавать детям историю уже современных классиков.

[@JohnGeorgeBauerBuis]

@@yararouzofficial I agree.

[@emiplays8873]

One of the best songs of the decade (2010-2020) and 2 of the best DJs in the world without a doubt. ❤️❤️❤️

[@robotomo4249]

Tim has had such an impact on my life in every aspect. It was Tim who sparked my interested to produce music, and when I'm out of musical ideas or have no motivation, listening to an Avicii track always wakes me up. When I'm feeling down, lost and afraid, listening to any Avicii track always brings me back to comfort. He is also my biggest inspiration. One day I wish I will have such an impact on the music scene as Avicii did. Rip Tim

[@phillipgales9494]

I will always love this collaboration that tells us how to value our life and not let superficial things like work turn us off, free ourselves and do what we love the most before time runs out. #Nicktim

[@longhoneywin]

“It’s hard to give the right words” let the song and the moment speak for itself

Let's not exaggerate how good he was. He was great, but you're taking it too far.

Cannot wait ,,, I Could Be The One THE BEST

[@ChirenMusic-yq5iu]

Ik was een hardstyle dj voor 8 jaar, tot het moment dat ik ziek werd. Toen moest ik ermee stoppen. Mijn 2e baantje in het revalidatieproces was afwassen op het KIM (marine), om fysiek weer sterker te worden. Ik weet nog heel goed dat dit nummer elke dag op de radio was. En elke dag gaf dit nummer mij vlinders in mijn buik. En dat is tot op de dag van vandaag nog steeds zo. Het nummer heeft mij zeker geholpen door die periode heen te worstelen. Nu ben ik gelukkig weer gezond en volop bezig in de studio😁 Leuk om het verhaal achter het nummer te kennen.

[@djceddy6945]

Aweh Nicky meister! Reflection is great! One of the best dance tracks ever in my playlist to play and always remember you and Avicci. I have seen you guys once in my lifetime live and moved my life to the next level forever!

[@psico_steph]

The acoustic version is one of my favorite songs, the lyrics of this song are just heart touching. Very deep and represent a relationship I had with someone. Is incredible how far music can go, within us

[@blz_roy5121]

it was in his insta post

[@midnight687]

Omg yes this track is so good

[@wilsontan3863]

Metropolis was made when Nicky was working with David Guetta on Rihanna's unapologetic album. Go listen to right now by Rihanna the production is very similar

At that time I was a DJ. I Remember the first time that I was listen to this tune, it was called "Fu*k School". I was impressed by the melody and when they releaseed the vocal version, I used to played that in any show that I can. Love you from italy 🇮🇹

one of the best tracks ever, miss this time :)

[@itxofficial8281]

Thank you sooo much for this "Story Behind"!! I've literally been waiting for this since 2013, ever since you briefly talked about creating the track during your very first Protocol LIVE stream. Too bad we didn't get to see any video footage of that fateful day - I remember you mentioned that the entire session was recorded on video. Still, I'd like to thank you for honoring Tim with this little retrospect, the way you talked about working with him and how he was such a kind and shy person really melted my heart... He was such a beautiful soul, and the extremely rough music business just was too much for him to handle! I agree with your last statement; we should really focus on the positive things, and only remember the good times. Congratulations on 600.000 copies, take good care of that golden record! ;) Greetings from Austria, ITX

Congrats on the Platinum & double Platinum! Tim is watching from above, proud with a big smile on his face. It's so unreal when someone you knew isn't around anymore. Maybe as a tribute/celebration you could make a full piano version like in the intro and outro of the vid? I really loved it!
