Avicii - I'm Tim

I cannot possibly write an unbiased review for this. I'm the kind of person who convinced my family to visit Stockholm just to go to the Avicii Experience, who has read Tim's official biography, who owns True, Stories, and Tim on vinyl, along with plenty of merch from the official website. I listen to his music almost every day-he remains one of my most-listened-to artists every year, even after his passing.

As I write this on New Year's Eve, I'm still emotional after crying my eyes out watching Avicii: I'm Tim on its release date. The ending completely broke my heart. This documentary deserves to be seen alongside Netflix's other release today, My Last Show, which features some of his most successful and well-known songs.

We may never truly understand what was going through his mind, but he left us with a powerful message in his final songs and lyrics. Tracks like "SOS," "Hold the Line," and "Ain't a Thing" are deeply emotional and hauntingly beautiful. As he once said after stepping away from touring: "I will never let go of music. I will continue to speak to my fans through it."

Tim, you are deeply missed. I'm so grateful to everyone who made this documentary possible-it's a heartfelt gift to all his fans. The melodies he created are not just music; they're memories of my teenage years and an endless source of inspiration.

I hope everyone enjoys this as much as I did.

I just finished watching the documentary 'Avicii: I'm Tim', and it struck me deeply. As someone who has spent her entire life coming to terms with the reality that I'll always live with anxiety, I felt so connected to his experiences. It's a lonely journey when your mind is constantly in overdrive - questioning everything and rarely finding peace.

As a society, we must do better. We need to actively work toward destigmatising mental health struggles and creating spaces where people feel supported and understood, not shamed, for seeking help.

This quote from the documentary shook me because it mirrored so much of what I feel:

"But my dream would be to be completely, completely at ease and completely happy with what I've got already, and not really have any aspirations to do a billion other things. I just want to be free from all the ideas of a life. The thing that has kept me from living life has been that exact thing: having an idea of what life should be and what should make me happy.

Nothing has turned out to be true. But I want to learn how to be content. That would be life for me. Being content."

These words hit home in a way I can't fully describe. So often, we're trapped in this endless pursuit of what we think life is supposed to be, only to realise that the pressure to chase a perfect life - one that doesn't even exist - leaves us feeling more lost than ever.

We need to do better. Let's talk about this more. Let's remind each other that we're not alone.

I had the privilege to listen Tim on Ultra Europe in Croatia two times. He always put a great show, it was remarkable. I also have to say that I know literally every song he made, I used to love house music and EDM, and I still do, but I was rather a fan of Hardwell or maybe Laidback Luke, but never Avicii's and I must admit that I don't know why. Maybe there were songs that were to repetetive so I was annoyed, but I remember when I heard the news about his death, I felt so bad for him and everyone closest to him.

Also, after seeing this documentary, it definitely showed me who Tim really was and who he really wasn't. After seeing couple of minutes of this film, you could clearly see that he wasn't made to be on that stage in that kind of a way, If you know what I mean. He was not ready, like he said - he was too stiff so he had to drink to cope with all this energy and madness. He was a big talent and such a great artist, he will never fade away. Some of his songs reminds me of my past, my growing with certain people, such a nostalgia in this documentary.

The ending crushed me, I even let my tears to come out because I can't understand why he didn't find purpose in his life afterall, to even took his own life. Such a tragedy. You could clearly see how fragile he was, how he wasn't prepared for all the fame that came along, and sadly no one could help him. Avicii took Tim away from this life...He was so down to earth and that is very rare to see nowdays...

I felt sadness seeing this documentary and I wanted to know him better through this film, and all I can say is that he was clearly such a beautiful soul.

I hope he found peace, and only he knows what really happened and what was going through his head. Such a shame that he couldn't share that with anyone.

Tim, you are missed.

My only glaring observation is this documentary didn't go deep enough. It needed more exploration, more explanation and just more..... It never really climaxed and we're not learning anything new here that wasn't already known through the internet; Really disappointed to be honest. It did nothing for me.

It did a good job, however of documenting Tim's climb, but not so much his downfall, making the documentary a bit one sided. Maybe I was just expecting something more comprehensive? I'm not sure what they were trying to achieve with making this documentary. Was it just an intention to only shed light on his music career and portray him in that light? That's what it seems like to me.

I'm not a fan. I like a handful of his songs, but this documentary made me understand the greatness of Avicii and the impact of his music.

I mostly enjoy rock and soul music. After watching this documentary, the creativity of this young man truly resonated with me and completely changed my perspective on his music.

But most importantly, it showed his pure soul and how his music truly came from the heart.

I'm a relatively older man, and the mindset of this young guy made me reflect deeply and wipe the tears from my face.

Whenever I listen to his music, I'll remember that I need to become a better person.
