What Is Love? (For Tim)

A harmful Haddaway song, and a tribute to Avicii.

What Is Love? (For Tim)

In 1993, Haddaway released a catchy tune titled "What is Love"

An infectious tune that is very harmful. And the reason is simple:

If someone asks another what Love is, the conversation goes from curiosity and thinking, to "baby don't hurt me."

Haddaway's version diminishes thought, and hangs introspection at the stake.

Avicii brought that needed introspection into an existing music scene dominated by intense drops and loud noises. He used acoustic guitars, uplifting lyrics, and delivered it in familiar EDM. He quickly became a star that brought joy to millions, and an icon that defined a genre.

On April 20th, 2018, Tim Bergling committed suicide in his hotel room in Muscat, Oman. He lost his mental health battle.

His family spoke about the intense pressure that Tim was under, and noted things like stress, anxiety, and a perfectionism that haunted him up until the day he could no longer continue.

The song What is Love? (For Tim) attempts to honor Avicii by doing the following.

  • It answers the question: "What is Love?"

  • It delivers an uplifting and inspirational message with Avicii-style music.

  • It does it's best take you from where you are currently at, and throws you into a place where you'd like to go. (Something present in all of Tim's work.)

    This song is dedicated to Tim Bergling, and to anyone who felt the joy in his music.

    Proceeds from this song are to be donated to the Tim Bergling Foundation.
