Kygo started to learn to play the piano at age six through lessons. He decided to have a go at remixes and creating electronic music after discovering Avicii at age 15-16. After receiving over 80 million hits on YouTube and Soundcloud, Kygo was contacted by both Avicii and Chris Martin of Coldplay to create official remixes of one the artists' songs.
His remix of "I See Fire" entered Romania's Top 40 and remained there for 14 weeks, peaking at Number 2 as of June 3rd, 2014.
When creating/remixing music Kygo uses Logic Studio.
His track "It Ain't Me," with Selena Gomez, has exceeded 1 billion plays on Spotify.
He has an official site at https://www.kygomusic.com/ but at this moment it is about 5 years out of date. (In 2020 it refers to his "hotly anticipated album scheduled for 2015.")
For What It's Worth
Kygo Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I ain't the best at times, I'm told
I'm a dog when I'm on the drink
I question the fabric of everything
And not even all the world's diamond rings
Can put the girl to sleep to dream
We wanted everything when we were young
As we go along
As we go along
We were kids, trying to make it up
As we go along
As we go along
For what it's worth
I was only trying to wake you up
For what it's worth
I was only trying to wake you up
(Trying to wake it up)
For what it's worth
I was only trying to wake you up
For what it's worth
I was only trying
We were kids, trying to make it up
As we go along
As we go along
We were kids, trying to make it up
As we go along
As we go along
We were just kids making it up
We got blind even when we fucked it up
But what they never told us, it was wrong
Nobody ever seemed to care, it was gone
For what it's worth
I was only trying to wake you up
For what it's worth
I was only trying to wake you up
(Trying to wake it up)
For what it's worth
I was only trying to wake you up
For what it's worth
I was only trying
The song "For What It's Worth" by Kygo featuring Angus & Julia Stone is a reflective piece about the challenges of growing up and facing the realities of life. The song talks about the struggles of trying to find one's place in the world, the mistakes made along the way, and the consequences of those actions. The lyrics speak of a person who is flawed and vulnerable, but who is still trying their best to learn and make sense of the world.
The opening line "I tell you boy I pay my weight in gold" could refer to how much the person values their experiences and the lessons they have learned. The next line "I ain't the best at times, I'm told" reveals a level of self-awareness and honesty about their own flaws. The third line "I'm a dog when I'm on the drink" speaks to the idea of how drinking can reveal one's true nature or bring out the worst in them. The line "I question the fabric of everything" shows how deep the person's contemplative nature goes, and how they are constantly seeking to understand the world around them.
The chorus "For what it's worth, I was only trying to wake you up" could be read as the person acknowledging their mistakes and trying to make amends. The song concludes with a repetition of the line "We were kids, trying to make it up, as we go along," emphasizing the idea that growing up is a process, laden with mistakes and uncertainty, but we all try our best to make sense of it.

I tell you boy I pay my weight in gold
I want you to know that I am valuable and I work hard to prove it
I ain't the best at times, I'm told
I'm not perfect, but I try my best
I'm a dog when I'm on the drink
When I drink, I can act like an animal
I question the fabric of everything
I question the very foundation of everything around me
And not even all the world's diamond rings
Material possessions can't bring true happiness
Can put the girl to sleep to dream
Money can't buy peace or good dreams
We wanted everything when we were young
When we were young, we had big hopes and dreams
For what it's worth
I know this may not mean much, but...
I was only trying to wake you up
I just wanted to help you see the truth
(Trying to wake it up)
I was trying to open your eyes
We were just kids making it up
We were young and inexperienced, figuring things out as we went
We got blind even when we fucked it up
Even when we made mistakes, we couldn't see the consequences
But what they never told us, it was wrong
We were never taught that what we were doing was a mistake
Nobody ever seemed to care, it was gone
No one seemed to care about the consequences until it was too late

@johannesperschl5288
Because this is a big music channel i wanted to ask you all, if you can recommend me some beautiful over ear headsets.
They should look cool
should be closed back
have a good sound quality and good bass (cause i listen to chill,trap,rap,electro)
maybe bluetooth but not a must have
they should not cost more than 130$
thanks in advance :)
