Avicii, the one who shaped electronic music in unprecedented ways, has left us with the memory of his songs. Beyond being a legend in this industry, I've always admired his humbleness and sincerity. I know growing and living as an introvert is a hard task to endure, I am aware of this myself, cause I am an introvert too, but what striked me was the way he managed to overcome all the odds and rumors surrounding him, by pushing his limits and always pursuing the next level. His alcohol addiction looks so shocking to people, like he was the only one ever addicted to this kind of thing, but he did it for the reason to forget about the drama inside his head and enjoy the present moment while he was on stage. He may now be singing in heavens, but at least we are left with the remembrance of his everlasting music.
A fitting tribute to one of the worlds greatest djs with a hint of emotion, avicii true stories really nails the mark with sufficient plays by plenty of beautiful musicians and artists. A must watch to pay tribute to the one waas, greatest dj of all time
In light of, or in spite of, recent events-this is hard to watch. I actually find this heartbreaking. This is an excellent film, a litle unnerving in that some of the narrative is in the past tense(purely due to the timing), but very good. 'Fan' or not, and I wasn't as such, we've all heard his music. The film was really informative and really well put together. You see how he worked and the love for the music. The struggles of the guy are almost palpable though throughout. I have experienced addiction, etc and I can get, in a small way, how difficult things must have become. I don't know how he did it, there really is only so much a person can take. I just imagine him hating the drinking, the lifestyle, but having to carry on. Night after night after night...All the way through, I felt stressed out and anxious myself and that's, what, an hour and a halfThere's definitely a story there and a sad one at that
A giant has left us, we will never know exactly why, but this documentary comes real close to answering the question.R.I.P Tim, you will be missed but never forgotten.
