I saw Avicii's documentary the other day, I thought it was a heavy thing to look at. For me it was very heavy to see and I sat and cried a few times. I'll now share my thoughts about it.
My thoughts are what a terrible life he has lived, so much pain, anxiety and stress he doesn't deserves. But the one who has most contributed to this is his (now) earlier this manger Ash. He wanted to make Avicii or Tim as he's real name is to a great artist and he would be the best. Tim has always been shy and most want to make good music and share it. Never getting as big as he became. Then the showers came and after a short while he felt he did not like it, it was a big stress in his life. He has done over 800 shows with anxiety and NEVER liked it. Do you get how terrible that is?
I have followed Tim since he became known and heard a little about what has happened, for example, his alcohol problem, illness, but it was not even half of all that appeared in the documentary I can say. I have never heard of all anxiety, depression, stress, and more. I remember when he felt the worst thing a few years ago, he was literally nothing. There was nothing, he felt so bad and took such strong drugs because of severe pain. It was terrible to see. But I did not know about these medications but saw that something was not right. I remember when I saw during the Ultra Music Festival 2016 on the live stream and he was no longer as narrow and small, he was a bit more but still not quite a hundred. But within me was little hope.
Shortly after Ultra, the message was that he'll quit touring, the best decision I have to say. At that moment, I was sad but always respected his decision and all understood that there is a deeper thought behind it. Now you really got the naked truth in the documentary. I will always have great respect for him and always had, to do over 800 showers in pure stress and anxiety has not been easy. A broken gall bladder and strong pain and medication must have been hard.
Tim, what a wonderful person. He has laid down his body and soul in his job. But the truth is that his own manager destroyed him before even getting into the "market". Ugly as people! In their world there was only money, for Tim it was about making music. It was in the last year when he had sent out that he would stop the tour; he chose to cancel ten shows in Las Vegas because he did not know he even managed to do that. They around him only cared for money, but Tim himself knew how much he would lose on it, but he saw more how much anxiety and stress it was on him and that he did not manage to do anything else.
I think he always made the right decision to end the tour. Of course, I'm sorry I never saw him alive, but to be honest, I do not even care about it anymore. Somewhere in the future, maybe he's going to play a show, then damn I'll see him alive, but right now I'm not so sad that I did not see him alive. When I saw the documentary, I cried, it was so honest and naked. He chose to show ALL, all pain and all the while he had to go crazy. I'm proud of him he dares to release the movie, I hope it will open up to many it's not so easy to be a DJ or artist. It's not always so funny and you have to pay a high price when you're on top of it.
I'm sad when I think of what hell Tim has gone through, how he has measured and how it became. But at the same time, I'm glad he made the decision to stop touring and focus only on making music. Because he's completely wow to making music. I'm always most seen him as one who makes music and not so much DJ.
To summarize my thoughts a bit, I suffer when I see how Tim has had it. I suffer when I see how it ended and how people have used him for his music and his money. They never saw him as a real person with feelings and a life like everyone else, they saw him as a money machine. It's sick and hurts to see and hear. I'm glad Tim chose to end up with the part that made him feel bad, glad that he finally dared to leave the crap people who took his life away from him. I'm glad for his sake now that he feels better and continues to work with music in a way that he loves. I'm glad he will continue to share his music with who loves him and his music.
Tim, what a wonderful person you are. My heart bleeds when I know how bad and what hell you've had, nobody deserves it.
If you have seen it, tell me your thoughts on it please! :)
Untill next time Stay Awesome<3
