Avicii’s posthumous album Tim came out earlier this month, and reminded us of his incredible talent – and so did the music video for the emotional song “Heaven” that he recorded alongside Coldplay singer Chris Martin.
Director Levan Tsikurishvili immortalized his close friend in this touching video, after many years of working together. They previously worked on 8 music videos, 3 concert movies and 2 documentaries together, but the visuals for “Heaven” are what left everyone speechless.
This video was inspired by their 2016 holiday in Madagascar, and features a series of smartphone videos from the trip. In order to fully capture the experience, Tsikurishvili went back to the island to record some more footage for the video.
“We spoke about everything, laughed, played monopoly, hung out with lemurs, and explored the entire island together. Now, two-and-a-half years later, I returned to the island to remember Tim, to honor his legacy, and to recreate the memories that will stay with us forever,” wrote Tsikurishvili on YouTube.
