Here's a song by Swedish house music producer and deejay, Avicii, who is best known his reworking of Flo Rida's hit Good Feeling into his own house music hit, Levels. It's from his forthcoming album, TRUE. I discovered the song through a website/blog called ClubWill, which I will mention again in the near future, but for now let's say it's a great site for learning new music.
Upon hearing this song via that web page, I immediately downloaded it, and it instantly became a favorite. The voice of singer, Aloe Blacc, reminds me very much of Tracy Chapman, so much so that at first I thought this was a remix of an old Chapman song I didn't know. Aside from that familiar-sounding voice, the tune's also got a bouncy, countrified feel to it, and I picture a whole slew of dancers swinging around to it, square dance style.
The lyrics to Wake Me Up are also very good, and they also remind me of something Chapman would have written. Check them out below the video. And in the meantime, click play and enjoy this fun song!

Wake Me Up
Feeling my way through the darkness
Guided by a beating heart
I can't tell where the journey will end
But I know where to start
They tell me I'm too young to understand
They say I'm caught up in a dream
Life will pass me by if I don't open up my eyes
Well that's fine by me
So wake me up when it's all over
When I'm wiser and I'm older
All this time I was finding myself
And I didn't know I was lost
[x2]
I tried carrying the weight of the world
But I only have two hands
I hope I get the chance to travel the world
But I don't have any plans
Wish that I could stay forever this young
Not afraid to close my eyes
Life's a game made for everyone
And love is the prize
So wake me up when it's all over
When I'm wiser and I'm older
All this time I was finding myself
And I didn't know I was lost
[x2]
I didn't know I was lost
I didn't know I was lost
I didn't know I was lost
I didn't know I was lost
