OMG Get your dancing shoes on because this cover of Avicii’s Wake Me Up by 2Cellos is absolutely brilliant! A dance anthem like you’ve never heard it before! 2Cellos, made up of Luka Sulic and Stjepan Hauser, have been sharing their incredible covers of famous songs for a few years now, covering songs by Iron Maiden, Sting, Mumford and Sons and AC/DC, and this cover proves yet again that no song is out of bounds for the classical instrument.
Musically, the duo have taken an Avicii song that combines electronic dance music with pop country and put their neo-classical meets rock and roll spin on it. It transcends boundaries of age and time – and the video fits that very nicely as well.
The creative video shows three distinct eras: the duos beginnings in 1996, as rebels taking cello lessons when they were kids, to head-banging club appearances in the present day 2015, to the future in 2069 when they cause mayhem in an old people’s home. All in just 4 minutes!
