Give it up for Avicii!

2
00:00:53,280 --> 00:00:57,040
The first four or five years,
everything was awesome...

3
00:00:58,080 --> 00:01:00,960
because you get a kick out of it,
the same thing you're...

4
00:01:01,680 --> 00:01:04,879
If you're jumping out of a plane,
you get a kick, too.

5
00:01:04,959 --> 00:01:09,160
Because you're playing
with the feeling of almost dying.

6
00:01:10,080 --> 00:01:12,440
And when you're up on stage,

7
00:01:12,520 --> 00:01:16,760
I have been playing
with the feeling of being...

8
00:01:19,400 --> 00:01:24,040
special, and finding a connection with
people in the sense of being accepted.

9
00:01:29,600 --> 00:01:33,200
The way I went into DJing
was I'm-- I'm gonna give it 100 percent,

10
00:01:33,280 --> 00:01:34,520
no matter what happens.

11
00:01:34,600 --> 00:01:36,880
And I kept giving 100 percent
all the time.

12
00:01:39,000 --> 00:01:43,240
It was all around, in general, that
sense of more and more and more.

13
00:01:44,400 --> 00:01:47,480
I didn't give myself enough time
to really figure out

14
00:01:47,560 --> 00:01:49,920
what about the touring didn't I like.

15
00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:58,480
The only time I had was...
a few-- a few weeks here and there,

16
00:01:58,560 --> 00:02:01,240
and-- and then I was out
on the road again.

17
00:02:01,320 --> 00:02:02,480
And the few weeks I had,

18
00:02:02,560 --> 00:02:07,280
I never really got to get home anywhere,
and I was out for eight years.

19
00:02:07,360 --> 00:02:10,400
So that meant, after four years,
when I started to come home,

20
00:02:10,479 --> 00:02:12,520
it didn't even feel like home anymore.

21
00:02:12,600 --> 00:02:16,240
I just know that it got to a point
where I didn't like it anymore.

22
00:02:16,320 --> 00:02:18,040
And it got to a point where it's too much.

23
00:02:18,120 --> 00:02:20,320
After that, I just decided:
"Fuck, I'm gonna quit."

24
00:02:34,400 --> 00:02:36,120
I grew up in Stockholm.

25
00:02:36,200 --> 00:02:40,640
My whole childhood
up till I was, like, 19 years old

26
00:02:40,720 --> 00:02:43,520
was in between, like, five blocks.

27
00:02:43,600 --> 00:02:48,000
Like, all my schools that I went to were
all in the same-- same area of Stockholm.

28
00:02:48,800 --> 00:02:51,480
I knew that whatever I wanted to do
later in life,

29
00:02:51,560 --> 00:02:53,760
I knew that
I wanted to do something creative.

30
00:02:53,840 --> 00:02:57,200
A friend of mine told me about FL Studio.

31
00:02:58,200 --> 00:03:01,720
And I remember I downloaded it,
so I started playing around with it.

32
00:03:01,800 --> 00:03:07,120
It was very easy because-- 'cause
you could, like, draw out the notes.

33
00:03:07,200 --> 00:03:11,320
He had his studio in his bedroom,
which was his apartment.

34
00:03:11,400 --> 00:03:12,240
It was only one room.

35
00:03:12,320 --> 00:03:16,320
And it was like a bed, I remember,
that was supposed to be folded,

36
00:03:16,400 --> 00:03:18,680
so you got more space,
but it was always down.

37
00:03:18,760 --> 00:03:22,760
It was, like, covered in plates
with, like, old spaghetti and pesto.

38
00:03:22,840 --> 00:03:24,280
That's all we could afford.

39
00:03:24,360 --> 00:03:26,720
We always met, you know, around noon,

40
00:03:26,800 --> 00:03:29,880
then when I looked at the clock,
one o'clock in the night,

41
00:03:29,960 --> 00:03:34,240
I would say: "Yeah, maybe we should see
each other again tomorrow and continue",

42
00:03:34,320 --> 00:03:36,640
and he was like:
"Ah, we need to finish now.

43
00:03:36,720 --> 00:03:40,520
It's better to finish now, then--
Then we can do a new song tomorrow."

44
00:03:40,600 --> 00:03:44,360
He worked during the night, basically,
and then when he had sleep,

45
00:03:44,440 --> 00:03:49,520
he often walked up to his roof
and slept in the sun.

46
00:03:49,960 --> 00:03:53,320
And he was like: "Yeah, it's so smart,
because then I get a tan,

47
00:03:53,400 --> 00:03:57,000
I get sleep,
and then I can go back to-- to work."

48
00:04:00,400 --> 00:04:07,400
The first half year was me just
trying to rip off other people's sounds.

49
00:04:14,280 --> 00:04:19,360
And once you've done that
a thousand times, you start improvising.

50
00:04:19,440 --> 00:04:23,720
Maybe I can do these two chords first but
then go to that chord and that, you know.

51
00:04:23,800 --> 00:04:26,840
That's when I started coming up
with... unique stuff.

52
00:04:27,400 --> 00:04:30,120
And then I just sent my music out
to blogs.

53
00:04:30,200 --> 00:04:34,280
I remember I went to Laidback Luke
and I went to his forum

54
00:04:34,360 --> 00:04:38,040
and I contacted him,
sent him a bunch of my demos.

55
00:04:38,120 --> 00:04:41,000
I could already tell his melodies
were awesome

56
00:04:41,080 --> 00:04:45,120
and the way he combined bass lines,
chords, and-- and leads,

57
00:04:45,200 --> 00:04:46,920
it was alre-- already in there.

58
00:04:47,000 --> 00:04:50,320
He really liked 'em,
and he started feedbacking me on them.

59
00:04:50,400 --> 00:04:53,640
And from that moment on,
I sent every new track I did,

60
00:04:53,720 --> 00:04:55,160
I sent to Luke.

61
00:04:55,240 --> 00:04:59,880
I remember not getting one demo a week
but at least five every week.

62
00:04:59,960 --> 00:05:02,760
And every track,
and I got better and better and better

63
00:05:02,840 --> 00:05:05,120
until they started playing
some of the tracks.

64
00:05:05,200 --> 00:05:06,920
That was the biggest thing for me ever.

65
00:05:07,000 --> 00:05:09,640
He was one of the reasons
I got into house music.

66
00:05:09,720 --> 00:05:10,920
Hi, this is Tim Berg.

67
00:05:11,000 --> 00:05:14,280
Uh, I'm just doing some, uh,
final, uh, touches

68
00:05:14,360 --> 00:05:17,200
on my, uh, upcoming single
on Joia Records...

69
00:05:17,280 --> 00:05:19,520
When he made his first few tracks,

70
00:05:19,600 --> 00:05:23,280
we were a bunch of people at his place.
We must have been around 18.

71
00:05:23,360 --> 00:05:26,000
We were dreaming about, like,
what would happen if we made it big?

72
00:05:26,080 --> 00:05:28,040
We were super into Entourage back then.

73
00:05:28,120 --> 00:05:32,320
We forced him to, like, sign
this really shitty, like, contract

74
00:05:32,400 --> 00:05:34,880
we-- we hand painted
with crayons or something.

75
00:05:34,960 --> 00:05:38,480
"Hereby, I, Tim, solemnly swear
that if I ever make it big,

76
00:05:38,560 --> 00:05:41,200
I'm gonna bring all my friends to L.A.

77
00:05:41,280 --> 00:05:44,000
and we're gonna live in a huge mansion,
and it's gonna be awesome."

78
00:05:47,160 --> 00:05:51,240
That's-- That's kind of around
that time when I met Ash, initially.

79
00:05:51,320 --> 00:05:53,520
I followed some blogs,
that was part of my job,

80
00:05:53,600 --> 00:05:57,760
and there was this kid that was not really
that hyped on any blogs or anything,

81
00:05:57,840 --> 00:05:59,640
but I-I fell for something.

82
00:06:00,280 --> 00:06:04,440
He sent me, like, um,
like, a message on Facebook,

83
00:06:04,520 --> 00:06:09,680
saying: "Hey," uh,
"my name is Ash Pournouri,

84
00:06:09,760 --> 00:06:12,120
and I have some friends in the industry.

85
00:06:12,480 --> 00:06:15,200
I'm a promoter in Stockholm.
Think I can help."

86
00:06:16,400 --> 00:06:18,800
So I kind of went to the meeting,
you know.

87
00:06:18,880 --> 00:06:20,600
I-I didn't know what to expect.

88
00:06:20,680 --> 00:06:25,520
It was this, you know,
like, 26-year-old Persian guy

89
00:06:25,600 --> 00:06:29,280
and I'm-- I'm, like,
a 17-year-old, you know, kid.

90
00:06:29,360 --> 00:06:31,520
I think he had Coca-Cola or something,

91
00:06:31,600 --> 00:06:35,360
um, and he brought his friend
'cause he was too scared to meet me alone.

92
00:06:35,440 --> 00:06:39,360
He said, like: "Name one Swedish D.J.
that you think is big right now."

93
00:06:39,440 --> 00:06:40,840
I remember naming someone.

94
00:06:40,920 --> 00:06:43,720
He said: "I'll make you bigger
than him in one year."

95
00:06:43,800 --> 00:06:48,040
Um, and my ambition level
was-- was to make him not a D.J.,

96
00:06:48,120 --> 00:06:50,160
not a producer, but a-- but an artist.

97
00:06:50,240 --> 00:06:53,160
From that moment on,
he kind of started, you know...

98
00:06:54,120 --> 00:06:56,120
he kind of started being my manager.

99
00:06:56,200 --> 00:06:59,360
And soon I found a project for us,
I-I found a remix.

100
00:06:59,440 --> 00:07:02,320
The first big remix I got was from, uh...

101
00:07:03,400 --> 00:07:06,480
uh... Roger Sanchez.

102
00:07:06,560 --> 00:07:10,280
It was the first big remix I got to do
from a-- for a big artist.

103
00:07:10,360 --> 00:07:13,480
And then we did another remix,
and that went even better.

104
00:07:13,560 --> 00:07:17,720
He made a remix for a Bob Sinclar record,
and I heard it,

105
00:07:17,800 --> 00:07:20,400
I was like: "Oh, my God.
This is so amazing!"

106
00:07:21,360 --> 00:07:24,880
Uh, but he wasn't--
He wasn't, like, a big producer yet,

107
00:07:24,960 --> 00:07:30,280
you know, and I was shocked,
and I, uh, I got in contact with him

108
00:07:30,920 --> 00:07:33,480
and I think I've asked him
for a remix, too.

109
00:07:33,560 --> 00:07:35,280
He was making amazing mash-ups.

110
00:07:35,360 --> 00:07:39,640
Like, every week, he would send me a new
mash-up, and I really liked his style.

111
00:07:39,720 --> 00:07:43,800
I really loved all his tracks. I started
playing them every week in my show.

112
00:07:43,880 --> 00:07:46,640
My first Avicii show was in Miami

113
00:07:47,320 --> 00:07:49,960
for, uh, Laidback Luke's
"Super You and Me" party.

114
00:07:50,040 --> 00:07:53,480
It was then and there I, uh,
I met a-- a very shy

115
00:07:53,560 --> 00:07:56,600
and-- and just a held-back type of a kid.

116
00:07:57,400 --> 00:07:59,480
It's, like, a 200-people,
200-capacity club.

117
00:07:59,520 --> 00:08:02,920
He was just so nervous.
He had prepped his set and everything,

118
00:08:03,000 --> 00:08:07,640
and, um, in the end, he ended up
opening the night for three people.

119
00:08:07,720 --> 00:08:09,840
Then, towards the end,
people started coming.

120
00:08:09,880 --> 00:08:13,480
I didn't mess up, I-I survived.
Everything went okay.

121
00:08:14,200 --> 00:08:17,760
I started doing small shows
here and there. It was single clubs.

122
00:08:17,840 --> 00:08:21,880
It was, you know, whatever Ash
had been able to bring in.

123
00:08:21,960 --> 00:08:26,320
At this time, it wasn't many, so he was
coming with me to most of the shows.

124
00:08:26,400 --> 00:08:28,520
Are you ready for Avicii?

125
00:08:28,560 --> 00:08:30,520
He's never managed anyone before.

126
00:08:31,120 --> 00:08:35,240
He'd been a promoter, he loved the music.
He-- He had a wife and kids.

127
00:08:35,320 --> 00:08:36,960
You know, like, he knew that

128
00:08:37,039 --> 00:08:39,919
he didn't really have the time
to pursue being a D.J.

129
00:08:40,000 --> 00:08:42,840
I was doing one or two shows a month
at this point.

130
00:08:42,919 --> 00:08:45,160
I was mainly still focusing on the music.

131
00:08:45,400 --> 00:08:47,400
We spent a summer together in Ibiza.

132
00:08:47,480 --> 00:08:51,160
He was staying in my house,
he was playing before me every week.

133
00:08:51,240 --> 00:08:55,960
And, um, yeah, he was very
into-- into, uh, to music and producing.

134
00:08:56,040 --> 00:08:58,680
He really developed his own sound,

135
00:08:58,760 --> 00:09:04,320
and, uh, and then, a little later,
when we'd been to the studio together,

136
00:09:05,160 --> 00:09:09,320
I was like:
"Wow, okay, this guy is very serious.

137
00:09:09,400 --> 00:09:11,640
Like, he's really, really special."

138
00:09:11,720 --> 00:09:15,880
My first track that really
started getting buzz was "Alcoholic",

139
00:09:15,960 --> 00:09:17,360
and then "Bromance" came,

140
00:09:17,440 --> 00:09:20,960
which was the first song that I think
got, like, commercial attention.

141
00:09:29,840 --> 00:09:33,440
We'd found a clip, um,
of Etta James singing the hook...

142
00:09:42,600 --> 00:09:46,320
And Tim tried to place it over different,
um, songs, and we couldn't really find

143
00:09:46,400 --> 00:09:51,000
anything that sounded quite right,
and then Tim had this, um, loop.

144
00:10:02,120 --> 00:10:05,120
It had the right energy,
the right uplifting melody,

145
00:10:05,200 --> 00:10:07,320
um, that-- that we were looking for.

146
00:10:13,560 --> 00:10:16,840
All of a sudden, it just made sense
for that vocal to be there.

147
00:10:16,920 --> 00:10:22,120
That's kind of when things
really started kind of taking off.

148
00:10:22,200 --> 00:10:26,240
Seeing that people come to your show
to hear your songs,

149
00:10:26,800 --> 00:10:29,120
like, when they knew the songs.

150
00:10:29,200 --> 00:10:32,520
And I remember the first time
I ever heard that

151
00:10:32,600 --> 00:10:35,720
was when I played Governors Island
in New York.

152
00:10:35,800 --> 00:10:38,280
Give it up for Avicii!

153
00:10:40,240 --> 00:10:45,400
And I remember that they were singing
along to every single one of my songs.

154
00:10:50,960 --> 00:10:54,480
I was just blown away
'cause this, like, never happened before.

155
00:10:54,960 --> 00:10:58,320
And "Levels" just started spreading.

156
00:11:23,280 --> 00:11:25,400
Avicii! Avicii!

157
00:13:22,000 --> 00:13:25,120
Eventually, you know, uh,
it was discussion with Ash,

158
00:13:25,200 --> 00:13:27,800
who has-- has been my main challenge

159
00:13:27,880 --> 00:13:31,840
when it comes to discussing the deals
for "Levels" and Avicii.

160
00:13:33,240 --> 00:13:36,320
I'll send you the big, you know,
the big rough outline of

161
00:13:36,400 --> 00:13:38,000
whatever it is I'm looking for

162
00:13:38,080 --> 00:13:40,720
and what I have on the table,
and then we can take it from there.

163
00:13:40,800 --> 00:13:45,120
There is no person like Ash.
His obsessiveness of taking Tim

164
00:13:45,200 --> 00:13:49,200
to the next level,
or to three, four, five levels up.

165
00:13:49,680 --> 00:13:52,120
Uh, I think he will continue to be
very successful

166
00:13:52,200 --> 00:13:55,720
because he is obsessed
of having success.

167
00:13:55,800 --> 00:13:59,160
I'm not sending--
I'm not sending the vocal to anyone.

168
00:14:43,600 --> 00:14:46,240
"Just tell him we will match EMI's offer."

169
00:14:48,400 --> 00:14:50,200
Every day I'm hustling!

170
00:14:50,280 --> 00:14:51,640
Fuck you!

171
00:14:51,720 --> 00:14:55,240
And but the-- the impact of the song,
as just an instrumental song,

172
00:14:55,320 --> 00:14:58,960
was so huge at the club scenes,
at YouTube.

173
00:14:59,560 --> 00:15:01,840
So we just felt this is gonna be huge.

174
00:15:06,800 --> 00:15:09,240
- Hey, it's Ash.
- Hello.

175
00:15:10,600 --> 00:15:13,480
Advance has been put in at 500,000 euros.

176
00:15:14,880 --> 00:15:15,880
Um...

177
00:15:16,920 --> 00:15:20,720
Okay, thank you very much, everyone.
And, uh, speak on e-mail.

178
00:15:20,800 --> 00:15:22,800
- Listen, thank you.
- Thank you, bye.

179
00:15:22,880 --> 00:15:24,360
- Bye-bye.
- Thank you. Goodbye.

180
00:15:44,120 --> 00:15:45,360
I'm the fuckin' boss.

181
00:15:46,000 --> 00:15:50,920
He is a-- He is a warm family man,
hardworking,

182
00:15:51,000 --> 00:15:54,880
and, um, I mean, uh,
I call him a friend, yeah.

183
00:15:55,800 --> 00:15:58,400
Like, everything has gone in steps.

184
00:15:58,480 --> 00:16:02,120
With "Levels", everything just kind of,
really took off.

185
00:16:02,200 --> 00:16:06,480
We got these opportunities that
we'd never been presented with before.

186
00:16:06,560 --> 00:16:11,920
Like, headlining Ultra was one of
the first dreams that really come true.

187
00:16:14,640 --> 00:16:18,320
Avicii is the headliner on the main stage.
He's coming up right now,

188
00:16:18,400 --> 00:16:21,920
and, as you can see, there's a lot of hype
around him. There he is!

189
00:16:23,240 --> 00:16:24,320
Tim, Tim!

190
00:16:28,560 --> 00:16:31,280
There is a major surprise appearance...

191
00:16:31,360 --> 00:16:34,200
For her to come to Ultra Music Festival

192
00:16:34,280 --> 00:16:37,120
just kind of shows how far dance music
has come.

193
00:16:37,200 --> 00:16:39,000
- Hi.
- Hi, I'm Tim. Nice to meet you.

194
00:16:39,080 --> 00:16:40,456
- Nice to meet you, too.
- An honour.

195
00:16:40,480 --> 00:16:44,040
It's a big honour, obviously,
to share the same stage as Madonna.

196
00:16:45,600 --> 00:16:47,080
She's the queen of pop.

197
00:16:47,600 --> 00:16:49,320
- Are you ready?
- I am ready.

198
00:16:49,400 --> 00:16:52,360
This is the first time I'm headlining,
so I'm nervous.

199
00:16:52,440 --> 00:16:53,960
- Your first headline?
- Good?

200
00:16:54,040 --> 00:16:55,560
- Yeah, the first one.
- Cool.

201
00:16:59,960 --> 00:17:03,400
Are you ready for Avicii?

202
00:17:06,520 --> 00:17:09,960
And then, after that,
I-I could afford a tour manager.

203
00:17:10,040 --> 00:17:12,760
We're doing a lobby call
at 2:00 a.m. in the lobby.

204
00:17:12,839 --> 00:17:15,800
- 2:30 in the lobby and then...?
- 2:00 a.m. in the lobby.

205
00:17:17,000 --> 00:17:20,119
I didn't have to fly coach everywhere
by myself.

206
00:17:20,200 --> 00:17:24,680
The only thing that makes sense is
just making the flying and the travelling

207
00:17:25,240 --> 00:17:27,040
as comfortable as possible.

208
00:17:27,599 --> 00:17:32,400
I was young, I was single, I was partying.
Every show was a big party, you know.

209
00:17:32,480 --> 00:17:34,080
It was really a big party.

210
00:17:34,760 --> 00:17:39,720
It was amazing. I didn't even realise
before that you could actually do Monday,

211
00:17:39,800 --> 00:17:43,120
Tuesday, Thursday, Friday,
Saturday and Sunday, you know?

212
00:17:43,200 --> 00:17:48,680
But then, once that opened up,
like, you could tour a whole year,

213
00:17:49,240 --> 00:17:51,160
and that's kind of what we did.

214
00:18:05,320 --> 00:18:06,320
Avicii!

215
00:18:23,800 --> 00:18:25,360
Yes! Yeah.

216
00:18:28,280 --> 00:18:30,720
Make some noise for Avicii!

217
00:18:48,720 --> 00:18:51,720
Avicii! Avicii! Avicii!

218
00:18:51,800 --> 00:18:54,800
Avicii! Avicii! Avicii...

219
00:19:00,720 --> 00:19:02,576
At the time, TiÃ«sto was staying with me.

220
00:19:02,600 --> 00:19:03,880
So I walked into my bedroom,

221
00:19:03,960 --> 00:19:07,280
there's, like, cigarette butts
on my counters and beer cans.

222
00:19:07,360 --> 00:19:12,440
I'm, like, shaking off little spit,
like, chew tobacco, the snus bags.

223
00:19:12,520 --> 00:19:15,800
And there was this guy in bed
with these two girls

224
00:19:15,880 --> 00:19:19,840
and I was like:
"You know, who the fuck are these guys?"

225
00:19:19,920 --> 00:19:22,360
I'm like:
"Show 'em the door, get 'em out."

226
00:19:22,440 --> 00:19:26,280
Another month goes by,
I-I walk up with TiÃ«sto to the D.J. booth

227
00:19:26,360 --> 00:19:30,600
and I see this guy playing and he looks
over at me and, like, stops DJing

228
00:19:30,680 --> 00:19:33,800
and starts apologising to me,
that was the guy in my bed.

229
00:19:33,880 --> 00:19:37,560
And then since then, we, um,
we just became, you know, best friends.

230
00:19:37,640 --> 00:19:39,000
In my eyes, best friends.

231
00:19:39,080 --> 00:19:44,440
And with somebody like Tim,
he was very innocent and naÃ¯ve

232
00:19:44,520 --> 00:19:46,520
and really genuine.

233
00:19:46,600 --> 00:19:47,960
I love Tim.

234
00:19:48,040 --> 00:19:55,040
He is the most natural, melodic
music writer that I've ever met.

235
00:19:55,120 --> 00:19:59,520
Electronic music has gotten to the point
where you don't have to sample it anymore.

236
00:19:59,600 --> 00:20:01,560
You can just make it new.
Do you know what I mean?

237
00:20:01,600 --> 00:20:03,000
- Yeah.
- Okay.

238
00:20:03,080 --> 00:20:06,480
Such a different experience
to be a part of the whole process.

239
00:20:06,560 --> 00:20:10,080
I've worked with Tim.
We walk into the studio, we have nothing.

240
00:20:10,160 --> 00:20:12,040
We walk in, it's like:
"Yo, man, what do we do?"

241
00:20:12,120 --> 00:20:15,120
You can go like...

242
00:20:17,720 --> 00:20:21,720
And I play a little idea, and he'll go:
"What are the notes in that chord?"

243
00:20:23,880 --> 00:20:26,120
It's-- It's adding an octave
along with it,

244
00:20:26,200 --> 00:20:27,576
- so it's not taking away...
- Okay.

245
00:20:27,600 --> 00:20:34,120
This creative process, this ebb and flow,
as we call it, is what we live for.

246
00:20:34,200 --> 00:20:36,080
That's the exciting moment.

247
00:20:36,160 --> 00:20:41,040
I mean, I could play you-- I could play
you a bunch of the shit I've done so far.

248
00:20:41,120 --> 00:20:43,480
Yeah, let me hear
where you're coming from.

249
00:20:43,560 --> 00:20:47,400
This is one I did with Al.
This is like, I don't know, country folk.

250
00:20:49,440 --> 00:20:52,440
This has a lot of, like,
acoustic elements throughout.

251
00:20:58,400 --> 00:21:00,400
Yeah, I like it a lot. It's great.

252
00:21:01,520 --> 00:21:05,520
A mixture of the acoustic element,
then going into, like, kind of blending

253
00:21:05,600 --> 00:21:08,120
- into the electronic vibe.
- Nice, it's cool.

254
00:21:08,200 --> 00:21:12,960
It's obvious to nobody that
Tim and I would mesh together like that.

255
00:21:13,040 --> 00:21:16,920
I don't think anybody would have said,
like: "Oh, you're gonna get,

256
00:21:17,000 --> 00:21:19,520
you know, like,
this guitarist from a rock band

257
00:21:19,600 --> 00:21:23,320
and then this, like,
electronic music producer/D.J. together

258
00:21:23,400 --> 00:21:26,040
and then, like, this cool stuff
is gonna happen."

259
00:21:26,120 --> 00:21:28,240
We're very different musically

260
00:21:28,320 --> 00:21:32,800
but we have a similar philosophy in,
like, sort of putting songs together

261
00:21:33,200 --> 00:21:37,360
and taking elements from different places
and seeing how they can fit together.

262
00:21:37,440 --> 00:21:41,320
He probably got here at about four o'clock
in the afternoon,

263
00:21:41,400 --> 00:21:46,280
and by about like seven or eight o'clock
at night, we had "Wake Me Up".

264
00:21:46,360 --> 00:21:49,720
That was the first thing that we did,
was we wrote "Wake Me Up".

265
00:21:51,160 --> 00:21:55,400
I think every artist of any kind,
like, the ultimate goal,

266
00:21:55,480 --> 00:21:58,320
is to find your own mark,

267
00:21:58,400 --> 00:22:01,320
something that makes you stand out
from all the rest.

268
00:22:01,400 --> 00:22:05,080
♪ Not afraid to close my eyes ♪

269
00:22:06,360 --> 00:22:07,920

270
00:22:09,160 --> 00:22:12,440
Yeah.
♪ Not afraid to close my eyes ♪

271
00:22:12,520 --> 00:22:15,520
I wanna be there
and be a part of writing the vocal.

272
00:22:15,600 --> 00:22:19,960
I wanna make a song from the ground up,
basically.

273
00:22:20,040 --> 00:22:22,000
It's more like you don't expect it.

274
00:22:22,080 --> 00:22:24,520
- That's the one you want?
- ♪ Eyes... ♪

275

276

- When you find somebody like Tim,

277
00:22:33,920 --> 00:22:37,200
who absolutely knows what he wants,
things get done.

278
00:22:37,280 --> 00:22:40,920
Don't jump straight to, like...

283
00:22:50,320 --> 00:22:52,120
There you go. I really like it.

284
00:22:52,200 --> 00:22:54,680
Well, we can perfect this,
but I love that.

285
00:22:54,760 --> 00:22:55,840
At like 4:00 a.m.,

286
00:22:56,520 --> 00:23:00,440
I got an e-mail from him saying:
"It's-- It's all together, check it out."

287
00:23:00,520 --> 00:23:04,760
I remember opening it up, listening, and
being like: "Fuck me, this is awesome."

288
00:23:07,280 --> 00:23:08,320
This is so good.

289
00:23:08,400 --> 00:23:09,840
- This is hot, man.
- Yeah.

290
00:23:17,520 --> 00:23:20,120
We did so well with the musical side

291
00:23:20,200 --> 00:23:22,800
and everything went so fast
from that point on.

292
00:23:22,880 --> 00:23:27,480
I love him as a person.
He's really humble, super nice person.

293
00:23:27,560 --> 00:23:29,920
I'm also, like, super shy in reality.

294
00:23:30,000 --> 00:23:32,440
So I have this kind of
balanced personality.

295
00:23:32,520 --> 00:23:34,520
He also has this, I think, you know.

296
00:23:34,600 --> 00:23:39,160
Like, getting a little nervous and things
like this, you know, I'm also like this.

297
00:23:39,240 --> 00:23:43,520
In the beginning, I was too afraid
to drink 'cause I didn't wanna screw up.

298
00:23:43,600 --> 00:23:48,320
But then I realised how stiff I was
when I wasn't drinking,

299
00:23:48,400 --> 00:23:52,920
so then I-I found...
the-- the magical cure

300
00:23:53,000 --> 00:23:56,520
of just having, like,
a couple of drinks before going on.

301
00:23:56,600 --> 00:23:59,120
It's very easy to go that road,

302
00:23:59,200 --> 00:24:05,880
especially if, like him or me,
you're a little bit of an anxious person.

303
00:24:05,960 --> 00:24:08,920
But I think, to a part,
that-- that's what kind of

304
00:24:09,000 --> 00:24:14,640
helped me be able to do all those shows
without feeling completely exhausted.

305
00:24:14,720 --> 00:24:17,520
For an artist, it's very easy,

306
00:24:17,600 --> 00:24:23,400
uh, to be tempted to use something to get
away from the pressure a little bit.

307
00:24:23,480 --> 00:24:26,160
I saw how other D.J.s drank

308
00:24:26,240 --> 00:24:32,040
and I saw people like D.J.s who's been
in this industry for-- for ten years,

309
00:24:32,120 --> 00:24:36,240
and they're still drinking, like,
you know, every show that they're doing.

310
00:24:38,680 --> 00:24:42,600
I started getting stomach pains
on my way into Australia,

311
00:24:43,160 --> 00:24:47,200
and I had about three or four more hours
to go until we landed.

312
00:24:47,960 --> 00:24:51,520
Touring around Australia
with Future Music Festival,

313
00:24:51,600 --> 00:24:55,600
he had to pull out of Brisbane
and Perth last weekend,

314
00:24:55,680 --> 00:24:57,600
uh, 'cause he was taken to hospital.

315
00:25:00,440 --> 00:25:04,000
There's no sense in sending you
if we're not doing the show.

316
00:25:04,080 --> 00:25:08,120
Yeah, we'll make a final call, and then
tomorrow morning, if we're not going,

317
00:25:08,200 --> 00:25:10,840
we will just reroute your flight
back to Sydney.

318
00:25:11,720 --> 00:25:15,720
Um, he's-- Yeah, I mean, he's all right,
but he's at the hospital right now.

319
00:25:15,800 --> 00:25:19,240
Yeah, tonight's not gonna happen,
and we'll see about tomorrow.

320
00:25:21,600 --> 00:25:25,280
Um, all right, I spoke with some of
the nurses in charge of the area.

321
00:25:25,360 --> 00:25:27,800
They don't think you're well enough to do
the shows.

322
00:25:27,880 --> 00:25:29,840
- Yeah.
- But if you wanted to do them,

323
00:25:29,920 --> 00:25:33,000
they would discharge you
and give you pain medication.

324
00:25:33,800 --> 00:25:37,720
Pancreatitis, notoriously,
is very painful.

325
00:25:37,800 --> 00:25:40,360
When the pancreas becomes inflamed
like this,

326
00:25:40,440 --> 00:25:44,160
some of these enzymes can leak out
of where they're supposed to be

327
00:25:44,240 --> 00:25:48,200
and start digesting the body,
essentially, from the inside. Uh--

328
00:25:48,280 --> 00:25:53,720
If-- If I'm able to do the show
without worsening the pancreatitis...

329
00:25:53,800 --> 00:25:57,160
The show won't worsen it.
It's whether you can physically do it,

330
00:25:57,240 --> 00:25:59,640
- whether the pain will limit you.
- Yeah.

331
00:25:59,720 --> 00:26:03,240
It's the worst stomach cramp
you can imagine, pretty much.

332
00:26:03,320 --> 00:26:06,280
It feels like someone's stabbing you
in-- in the stomach

333
00:26:06,360 --> 00:26:10,680
and the back simultaneously,
at the same time as it's escalating.

334
00:26:10,760 --> 00:26:13,880
For me, definitely,
the-- the most pain I've been in.

335
00:26:13,960 --> 00:26:18,640
You can't do anything about it. You just
need to not drink water and not eat.

336
00:26:19,360 --> 00:26:22,720
And to be able to survive the pain,
they give you pain medicine.

337
00:26:23,960 --> 00:26:25,600
What's up?

338
00:26:25,680 --> 00:26:29,520
This is ketamine, just to...
Want me to change any syringes?

339
00:26:29,600 --> 00:26:33,680
You know, I've took on a mentor role
with him that doesn't stop anywhere,

340
00:26:33,760 --> 00:26:37,200
whether it's his personal life
or if it's his-- his career.

341
00:26:38,520 --> 00:26:40,600
I felt that I had to guide him,

342
00:26:40,680 --> 00:26:44,400
so that he wouldn't even have to think
about anything but the music.

343
00:26:44,480 --> 00:26:49,040
Now, the reason Ash rates Australia
higher than Ultra...

344
00:26:49,560 --> 00:26:51,600
We're missing both Ultras, though?

345
00:26:54,200 --> 00:26:58,760
Then there's no way he would rate--
The second Ultra is main stage.

346
00:26:58,840 --> 00:27:01,160
The reason they're saying to you now...

347
00:27:01,240 --> 00:27:03,960
The first Ultra doesn't really matter
the same way.

348
00:27:04,040 --> 00:27:05,960
He wouldn't have
to think about anything else.

349
00:27:06,040 --> 00:27:10,000
That's a freedom I think a lot of people
would appreciate, myself included.

350
00:27:10,560 --> 00:27:14,840
If they also said,
based on how I've been feeling today,

351
00:27:14,920 --> 00:27:17,360
and the pain levels I've been at t-today,

352
00:27:18,080 --> 00:27:21,960
they don't think I'm gonna be fit for...

353
00:27:22,040 --> 00:27:24,760
- The shows that--
- The shows this weekend, anyways.

354
00:27:25,200 --> 00:27:26,760
That's what they were saying.

355
00:27:26,840 --> 00:27:30,840
So they were-- they were saying,
if you're gonna miss these shows anyways,

356
00:27:30,920 --> 00:27:34,760
we might as well take your gall bladder
out now and have you ready for...

357
00:27:34,840 --> 00:27:37,480
I guess that's what I'm for,
to guide him into

358
00:27:37,560 --> 00:27:41,040
making the right decisions
and... doing the right things.

359
00:27:41,680 --> 00:27:45,040
A conventional teaching
and professional wisdom, worldwide,

360
00:27:45,120 --> 00:27:48,640
is to take the gall bladder out
before you go home, on admission,

361
00:27:48,720 --> 00:27:52,160
the reason being that you don't
get an attack in the meantime.

362
00:27:52,240 --> 00:27:53,240
Yeah.

363
00:27:53,560 --> 00:27:57,480
But I understand your situation,
that you're in the middle of a world tour,

364
00:27:57,560 --> 00:27:59,680
and there are things you need to do.

365
00:27:59,760 --> 00:28:03,440
We, um, think at some stage
you need your gall bladder out.

366
00:28:03,520 --> 00:28:07,680
Whether that be, you know, while you're
here or on tour or when you're home

367
00:28:07,760 --> 00:28:09,640
is up to you, is what we're saying.

368
00:28:09,720 --> 00:28:13,680
I would be there for him to tell him,
this is the way you have to do it

369
00:28:13,760 --> 00:28:15,360
and then you'll be successful.

370
00:28:18,400 --> 00:28:20,880
How long have the crew been here for?
Two days?

371
00:28:20,960 --> 00:28:24,120
No, the crew's been here since Monday.
It's Thursday now.

372
00:28:24,200 --> 00:28:26,080
- They flew in Monday morning.
- Oh.

373
00:28:35,040 --> 00:28:36,880
- The show is tomorrow?
- Tomorrow.

374
00:28:36,960 --> 00:28:38,840
- What time?
- Your set's 9:30.

375
00:28:39,280 --> 00:28:40,280
Suits.

376
00:28:40,600 --> 00:28:43,760
So, we'll be picked up
for like 8:00, 8:30.

377
00:28:44,840 --> 00:28:48,840
Future is asking if there's
any chance you could do a, like...

378
00:28:50,360 --> 00:28:53,640
phone interview... with...

379
00:28:55,160 --> 00:28:58,240
What they're asking for
is a 30-minute, for one o'clock,

380
00:28:58,320 --> 00:29:01,640
for a couple of different radio stations
just to call you,

381
00:29:01,720 --> 00:29:04,400
to show that you're back on track,
coming out.

382
00:29:05,200 --> 00:29:06,200
Yeah, sure.

383
00:29:06,920 --> 00:29:11,640
But... would you be up for them
in like two hours, 12:30?

384
00:29:26,880 --> 00:29:30,000
When we on stage, man,
it's like a fantasy.

385
00:29:33,320 --> 00:29:34,720
We are gods.

386
00:29:36,920 --> 00:29:39,480
In a strange way,
that feels like our reward.

387
00:29:42,520 --> 00:29:44,360
We feel no pain.

388
00:29:48,480 --> 00:29:50,480
Tim is a hard worker, man.

389
00:30:10,680 --> 00:30:12,360
I can't eat anything.

390
00:30:14,080 --> 00:30:18,400
'Cause as an artist, they just
want us on the beat like a machine.

391
00:30:18,480 --> 00:30:20,440
Duh-duh-duh-duh-duh...

392
00:30:21,120 --> 00:30:22,840
And then you burn out.

393
00:30:30,840 --> 00:30:34,160
The hospital visit has stuck
in my mind as

394
00:30:34,240 --> 00:30:36,160
an extremely terrible experience,

395
00:30:36,240 --> 00:30:41,560
but it didn't bother me as much
as the pain afterwards did,

396
00:30:41,640 --> 00:30:45,120
which was much less,
but it's every day when you wake up.

397
00:30:45,200 --> 00:30:47,616
The second you open your eyes,
you're like...

398
00:30:47,640 --> 00:30:48,920
Your stomach is hurting.

399
00:30:49,000 --> 00:30:52,880
When you're moving, you're hurting.
The pain medicine made me feel shitty.

400
00:30:52,960 --> 00:30:57,320
To me, it felt like I was constantly
in, like, a haze.

401
00:30:57,400 --> 00:31:01,960
And you don't know how long that's gonna--
It's gonna be like that for,

402
00:31:02,040 --> 00:31:04,640
and the doctors don't know
how long it's gonna be.

403
00:31:05,440 --> 00:31:08,120
All of a sudden,
"Wake Me Up" becomes huge.

404
00:31:08,200 --> 00:31:10,360
Everything took off in summer 2013.

405
00:31:10,440 --> 00:31:11,440
Here we go!

406
00:31:29,200 --> 00:31:32,080
My life was a dream to so many people.

407
00:31:32,160 --> 00:31:34,440
I am including myself. It was a dream.

408
00:31:34,520 --> 00:31:36,520
House music and-- and dance music

409
00:31:36,600 --> 00:31:40,800
really had such a-- such a rise
at the same time I had my rise.

410
00:31:40,880 --> 00:31:43,600
Avicii! Avicii! Avicii!

411
00:31:44,120 --> 00:31:46,800
Avicii! Avicii! Avicii...

412
00:31:50,320 --> 00:31:53,720
You know, it was a lot of work,
a lot of heavy tours,

413
00:31:54,800 --> 00:31:58,560
and I just kind of went
with all the punches that came along,

414
00:31:59,160 --> 00:32:03,160
because I was so extremely lucky
to be able to do what I am doing.

415
00:32:05,200 --> 00:32:08,800
But I didn't take the time to really
figure out what I wanted to do,

416
00:32:08,880 --> 00:32:10,520
and how I wanted to do it.

417
00:32:12,400 --> 00:32:15,000
I just kind of went along with the flow.

418
00:32:16,240 --> 00:32:19,520
But I only focused on music
and the touring, really,

419
00:32:19,600 --> 00:32:22,480
and then I just watched everything
kind of happen.

420
00:32:23,800 --> 00:32:28,640
And I had to obviously do
whatever I said I was gonna do.

421
00:32:28,720 --> 00:32:31,080
If it's, you know,
promotion, this or that,

422
00:32:31,160 --> 00:32:33,280
but it was never really my plan.

423
00:32:35,200 --> 00:32:37,520
I think I was-- I was running after some--

424
00:32:37,600 --> 00:32:41,160
Like, another-- like, an idea
of happiness that wasn't my own.

425
00:32:54,480 --> 00:32:58,040
- Oh, so this vocal isn't part of...
- Yeah. This is the vocal...

426
00:32:58,120 --> 00:33:03,000
What I learned from Michael Jackson was
the orchestra lives in his head.

427
00:33:03,080 --> 00:33:08,360
His neuro fully understands every dot,
and how everything should go,

428
00:33:08,440 --> 00:33:10,280
so it's like an inside symphony.

429
00:33:10,360 --> 00:33:16,800
So you have those that are like me,
that have to physically touch the piano.

430
00:33:18,600 --> 00:33:22,480
Then you have Tim,
similar to Michael Jackson.

431
00:33:22,560 --> 00:33:25,400
This is so important
that the world understands this.

432
00:33:25,480 --> 00:33:28,520
The actual symphony now lives
in his entire head.

433
00:33:29,120 --> 00:33:34,560
He's doing this
like as Bach did what he did.

434
00:33:34,640 --> 00:33:37,800
So I do think that there's something
we might be missing,

435
00:33:37,880 --> 00:33:41,760
the fact that we're making a separation
from D.J.s and musicians.

436
00:33:41,840 --> 00:33:45,920
Tim, to me,
he's a hardcore music theorist,

437
00:33:46,000 --> 00:33:48,080
and that's what makes a great composer.

438
00:33:48,160 --> 00:33:50,320
- Let's try one more, just for sure.
- Mm-hmm.

439
00:33:52,000 --> 00:33:55,480
♪ Carry on, carry on, carry on, he said ♪

440
00:33:56,120 --> 00:33:58,960

441
00:34:00,040 --> 00:34:04,040

444
00:34:11,920 --> 00:34:15,760
What I think is unique about him
is how he approaches the songs.

445
00:34:15,840 --> 00:34:18,040
He's very innovative in his melodies.

446
00:34:18,120 --> 00:34:20,239
You know, he did "Levels", "Wake Me Up".

447
00:34:20,320 --> 00:34:24,280
And those two songs were not with,
like, famous singers, or collabs, or...

448
00:34:24,360 --> 00:34:27,199
It was just him
putting something special together,

449
00:34:27,280 --> 00:34:29,880
and I think he was the first D.J.

450
00:34:30,600 --> 00:34:36,600
that broke into the mainstream, like
that big, in an authentic kind of way.

451
00:34:38,800 --> 00:34:40,920
And the American Music Award goes to...

452
00:34:41,320 --> 00:34:42,719
Avicii!

453
00:34:53,199 --> 00:34:56,840
Um, I just wanna say thank you
to everyone who voted for me,

454
00:34:56,920 --> 00:35:00,280
um, and thank you to my manager, my label.

455
00:35:00,760 --> 00:35:02,160
Um, thank you so much.

456
00:35:10,760 --> 00:35:13,440
I recovered
from my first kind of pancreatitis.

457
00:35:13,520 --> 00:35:15,640
I was off the pain medication.

458
00:35:15,720 --> 00:35:19,560
Everything was fine,
I w-wasn't on any medication.

459
00:35:21,280 --> 00:35:23,960
- Then I got back to...
- See you tomorrow, man.

460
00:35:24,800 --> 00:35:26,840
...uh, Miami for the Ultra show.

461
00:35:31,520 --> 00:35:35,200
My appendix ruptured
and my, uh, gall bladder ruptured as well.

462
00:35:39,520 --> 00:35:41,000
I need to get some sleep.

463
00:35:41,680 --> 00:35:46,800
I was feeling like shit, and then
the only solution that I got was...

464
00:35:48,280 --> 00:35:51,720
Uh, when-- when does
my next pain medication come?

465
00:35:51,800 --> 00:35:52,840
I have here...

466
00:35:52,920 --> 00:35:56,480
...to take, like, a medicine for it
or to battle through it.

467
00:35:57,040 --> 00:35:59,960
Every time I went into the hospital,
it was like that.

468
00:36:00,040 --> 00:36:02,480
Take this and you'll kind of feel better.

469
00:36:02,560 --> 00:36:05,240
Maybe you're just used
to taking the Percocet?

470
00:36:05,320 --> 00:36:07,000
You've built up a tolerance.

471
00:36:07,680 --> 00:36:10,600
But I've never used--
I've never taken Percocet before.

472
00:36:10,680 --> 00:36:13,720
Percocet is fucking heroin!

473
00:36:13,800 --> 00:36:17,440
- You're getting Percocets?
- Yes, we are, but they're not helping.

474
00:36:17,520 --> 00:36:19,320
Well, yeah, they will...

475
00:36:19,400 --> 00:36:22,240
It didn't help my pain,
that was the weird thing.

476
00:36:22,320 --> 00:36:25,720
So he gave me something
that didn't really help with my pain,

477
00:36:25,800 --> 00:36:28,600
but if the doctor says so,
I guess this is hospital,

478
00:36:28,680 --> 00:36:32,800
I guess he still knows what he's doing
and, you know, kind of like that.

479
00:36:32,880 --> 00:36:35,600
What happened was, uh,
your blood pressure started dropping.

480
00:36:35,680 --> 00:36:40,400
But it started dropping when I started
to add the-- all the other things into it,

481
00:36:40,480 --> 00:36:45,520
when I started adding the, uh,
the anti-anxiety thing for headache,

482
00:36:46,280 --> 00:36:48,200
and the other headache things,

483
00:36:48,720 --> 00:36:52,040
which I would be fine
to try to take everything else off,

484
00:36:52,480 --> 00:36:55,080
but don't take the only things
that are working...

485
00:36:55,160 --> 00:36:56,360
- All right.
- ...for me.

486
00:36:56,440 --> 00:36:58,120
This doesn't feel right.

487
00:36:58,200 --> 00:37:02,560
These pains could last for a very long
time, that was the fucked-up part of it.

488
00:37:03,200 --> 00:37:07,560
I understood when I was in--
When I had my pancreatitis, that it...

489
00:37:08,520 --> 00:37:10,480
I had to be on the medications...

490
00:37:11,640 --> 00:37:15,040
during that, when I was in the hospital,
when I was hospitalised.

491
00:37:15,520 --> 00:37:17,640
That wasn't really the big problem.

492
00:37:18,160 --> 00:37:22,120
The big problem is... that the pain...

493
00:37:23,480 --> 00:37:25,360
the-- the pain stays with you.

494
00:37:27,360 --> 00:37:29,240
For me, it was different each time.

495
00:37:29,320 --> 00:37:32,880
The first time,
it stuck with me for a month.

496
00:37:32,960 --> 00:37:36,280
The second time, I think it stuck with me
for like four months.

497
00:37:36,360 --> 00:37:38,840
It-- It kept not-- It didn't stop.

498
00:37:38,920 --> 00:37:41,520
I di-- I didn't see
the alternatives to this.

499
00:37:42,200 --> 00:37:44,520
You might feel pain free with high doses,

500
00:37:44,600 --> 00:37:47,840
but your body starts--
Your blood pressure starts going down.

501
00:37:47,920 --> 00:37:51,360
But we'll see, we'll try.
If not Dilaudid, something else--

502
00:37:51,440 --> 00:37:54,440
I wasn't even alerted
that my blood pressure was...

503
00:37:54,520 --> 00:37:58,800
There was no communication. No one said:
"Your blood pressure has gone high."

504
00:37:58,880 --> 00:38:01,640
- No, it just--
- It's just being moved and then...

505
00:38:01,720 --> 00:38:03,000
Okay, we'll contact you.

506
00:38:03,080 --> 00:38:04,880
- It's a code blue, okay?
- Okay.

507
00:38:12,400 --> 00:38:15,400
I was on all these kind of medications.

508
00:38:15,480 --> 00:38:18,320
So they were saying:
"You can take this, this is fine.

509
00:38:18,400 --> 00:38:21,760
This is not addictive,
this is not addictive."

510
00:38:21,840 --> 00:38:27,480
And then I was, like, taking
20 pills of some fucking gabapentin here.

511
00:38:27,560 --> 00:38:31,640
All these different medications
that weren't supposed to be addictive.

512
00:38:32,320 --> 00:38:35,240
And it made me feel more anxious.

513
00:38:36,560 --> 00:38:39,400
This kept going
and I started touring again.

514
00:38:41,080 --> 00:38:44,040
Hey, guys, this is Avicii back on Capital.

515
00:38:44,120 --> 00:38:47,880
I think this year is possibly
gonna be bigger than last year.

516
00:38:49,360 --> 00:38:51,720
So I'm really excited, um,
now we're starting

517
00:38:51,800 --> 00:38:56,000
to kind of come into the summer months,
and kind of get back to touring.

518
00:39:07,160 --> 00:39:08,880
One of the hottest acts in music

519
00:39:08,960 --> 00:39:12,840
is coming to New York this weekend
with troubles following on tour.

520
00:39:12,920 --> 00:39:15,560
At the Avicii concert
in Boston last night,

521
00:39:15,640 --> 00:39:18,640
three dozen young people
had to be taken to the hospital,

522
00:39:18,720 --> 00:39:23,320
and many more were treated at the scene
for problems related to drugs and alcohol.

523
00:39:23,400 --> 00:39:27,040
- The thing is, I don't--
- CNN, Fox, CBS releasing reports saying

524
00:39:27,120 --> 00:39:31,080
there's a theme on Avicii concerts
with kids being sent to hospital.

525
00:39:32,080 --> 00:39:34,361
And there was a theme
at Led Zeppelin concerts, too.

526
00:39:34,400 --> 00:39:36,760
Yeah. Yeah, and they brought EDC up.

527
00:39:36,840 --> 00:39:41,200
They're like: "800 people were also sent
to the hospital in EDC,

528
00:39:41,280 --> 00:39:43,280
where Avicii was also performing."

529
00:39:43,360 --> 00:39:47,800
Like I had anything to do...
It was, like, a three-day festival.

530
00:39:47,880 --> 00:39:50,600
- I was one out of 40 people.
- No, no. Here's Tim...

531
00:39:53,800 --> 00:39:57,920
Avicii! Avicii, get a picture
with us. Can we get a picture?

532
00:39:58,000 --> 00:40:01,760
How is it to be you?
How is it to be Avicii?

533
00:40:01,840 --> 00:40:05,440
It's weird. It's weird.
I mean, obviously, I am Avicii,

534
00:40:05,520 --> 00:40:07,360
but then at the same time,

535
00:40:07,440 --> 00:40:13,000
people's perception of who Avicii is
isn't who Tim is.

536
00:40:13,080 --> 00:40:16,760
- I'm a little bit shy.
- Yeah.

537
00:40:16,840 --> 00:40:20,280
I don't really like
being the centre of attention.

538
00:40:20,360 --> 00:40:22,560
But you are. You are, Tim.

539
00:40:22,640 --> 00:40:25,320
Exactly!
But I am. That's-- That's the thing.

540
00:40:25,400 --> 00:40:28,280
That-- That's what makes it so, so weird.

541
00:40:31,360 --> 00:40:33,920
I didn't believe
I could actually slow down.

542
00:40:34,360 --> 00:40:37,920
I didn't believe that I could tour
any differently than this.

543
00:40:39,800 --> 00:40:44,920
I also looked around and I saw
everyone else doing what I was doing,

544
00:40:45,000 --> 00:40:48,040
and they were doing fine,
you know, seemingly.

545
00:40:48,120 --> 00:40:52,360
I know I-I can't read minds,
but they looked like they were doing fine.

546
00:40:52,440 --> 00:40:56,680
Then I started to feel... I mean,
I started to feel crazy, in a sense.

547
00:40:57,480 --> 00:41:00,920
Everything on the checklist is there,
so I should be happy.

548
00:41:04,480 --> 00:41:09,200
I didn't have time to give myself
to properly stop.

549
00:41:09,640 --> 00:41:13,040
What I should have done, obviously,
is to fucking stop,

550
00:41:13,120 --> 00:41:16,320
take four months,
five months, half a year,

551
00:41:17,360 --> 00:41:19,160
recover from...

552
00:41:21,160 --> 00:41:24,440
recover from
not just the pain medicine,

553
00:41:24,520 --> 00:41:26,360
but from the fucking illnesses,

554
00:41:27,280 --> 00:41:31,200
recover from all the years of touring,
all the stress.

555
00:41:33,160 --> 00:41:34,680
But I kept going.

556
00:42:14,440 --> 00:42:17,160
After that summer, that wasn't good.

557
00:42:17,240 --> 00:42:19,720
I felt... I felt like shit.

558
00:42:29,960 --> 00:42:33,160
I did a concert the other day
in this tiny bar...

559
00:42:34,360 --> 00:42:36,240
uh, with no crew,

560
00:42:37,040 --> 00:42:40,800
and when I tried to tune my own guitar
on stage, I couldn't do it.

561
00:42:40,880 --> 00:42:42,240
It was so embarrassing.

562
00:42:44,600 --> 00:42:46,960
- It was really embarrassing.
- That's perfect.

563
00:42:48,000 --> 00:42:50,400
It brought it right back
to the beginning.

564
00:42:50,480 --> 00:42:51,320
That's great.

565
00:42:51,400 --> 00:42:54,960
My passion for music was always there,
so I loved making music.

566
00:42:55,040 --> 00:42:57,360
That was the one thing
I could come back to.

567
00:42:57,440 --> 00:43:00,120
- The one above that.
- Yeah, I'm gonna do...

568
00:43:01,480 --> 00:43:03,800
I'd say-- I'd say, maybe one, maybe...

569
00:43:05,720 --> 00:43:07,840
It just does it like a transition thing.

570
00:43:32,960 --> 00:43:34,720
- Do you like it more when it gets...?
- Huh?

571
00:43:34,800 --> 00:43:37,520
Do you like it better when it's,
like, more with the higher...?

572
00:43:37,600 --> 00:43:39,360
You're so talented, man.

573
00:43:39,840 --> 00:43:41,640
- Do you like the synths?
- What?

574
00:43:41,720 --> 00:43:43,760
- Do you like the new synth?
- I love it.

575
00:43:46,600 --> 00:43:47,880
Hoo-hoo-hoo!

576
00:43:47,960 --> 00:43:51,120
♪ Here you come to raise me up ♪

577
00:43:51,200 --> 00:43:54,760
♪ When I'm beaten and broken up ♪

578
00:43:55,360 --> 00:43:59,520

579
00:44:02,040 --> 00:44:03,440
Really good.

580
00:44:03,520 --> 00:44:05,520
Really good. I've got everything.

581
00:44:08,640 --> 00:44:12,000
Time went on, and I didn't feel better.

582
00:44:12,440 --> 00:44:15,520
And it kept happening,
even though when I went into--

583
00:44:15,600 --> 00:44:18,280
To periods of just
purely taking care of myself,

584
00:44:18,360 --> 00:44:20,760
it kept happening, I kept feeling bad.

585
00:44:20,840 --> 00:44:23,720
And my body kept feeling bad.

586
00:44:32,120 --> 00:44:34,040
There was never an end of shows.

587
00:44:34,680 --> 00:44:38,160
Even when I really felt like
I was gonna hit a wall or something,

588
00:44:38,240 --> 00:44:43,440
I gave myself a couple of months just to
kind of relax and-- and not do anything.

589
00:44:43,520 --> 00:44:48,000
And even in those months,
I couldn't get myself to relax,

590
00:44:48,080 --> 00:44:52,600
because my mind was still focused on
when I was gonna start up touring again.

591
00:45:27,960 --> 00:45:29,000
Mm.

592
00:45:31,440 --> 00:45:33,440
Mm.

593
00:45:47,240 --> 00:45:48,840
In the beginning of the year,

594
00:45:48,920 --> 00:45:52,000
I get presented with all the shows
of the upcoming year,

595
00:45:52,360 --> 00:45:55,400
and I have to say
which I want to do and which I don't.

596
00:45:55,480 --> 00:45:58,680
And then, along the lines of the year,
stuff pumps up.

597
00:45:58,760 --> 00:46:01,680
You know, my manager might want
to push something in,

598
00:46:01,760 --> 00:46:03,640
someone else might want
to push something in,

599
00:46:03,720 --> 00:46:08,200
then is pushing my manager to push it in.
I might want to push something in.

600
00:46:08,280 --> 00:46:13,480
You know, all these things kind of come in
and they cause a shit ton of stress.

601
00:46:18,600 --> 00:46:21,200
Tim decides to rent a big, giant villa.

602
00:46:21,280 --> 00:46:25,640
He's, like, using this as his base,
flying out all over Europe doing shows.

603
00:46:27,800 --> 00:46:32,160
He was touring, I think it was
three or four times per week.

604
00:46:34,840 --> 00:46:38,720
And, uh, he was working on,
uh, his second album as well.

605
00:46:57,640 --> 00:47:01,760
Even though the shows got harder
to do, the touring got harder to do,

606
00:47:01,840 --> 00:47:03,600
there were always moments,

607
00:47:03,680 --> 00:47:06,080
during the touring moments,
during the shows,

608
00:47:06,160 --> 00:47:09,040
when I could find a genuine happiness
from music.

609
00:47:16,240 --> 00:47:20,320
To be able to do the music or,
uh, to be able to go out for the touring,

610
00:47:20,400 --> 00:47:22,080
he was taking medication.

611
00:47:22,160 --> 00:47:23,680
By this time, Tim was--

612
00:47:23,760 --> 00:47:27,720
He was supposed to, like, be over
all, uh, the medicines and stuff.

613
00:47:28,880 --> 00:47:31,920
I went to psychiatrists,
I went to doctors.

614
00:47:32,280 --> 00:47:35,280
I tried so many different diets.

615
00:47:37,200 --> 00:47:40,800
You know, we-- I even changed--
I changed the way I toured,

616
00:47:40,880 --> 00:47:44,320
not enough at all,
but I changed it,

617
00:47:44,400 --> 00:47:46,720
and I-I thought I did enough, you know.

618
00:47:52,840 --> 00:47:55,680
But by my standards,
that was a chilled schedule.

619
00:47:56,120 --> 00:47:59,360
But then the other five days
was working on the album.

620
00:48:07,360 --> 00:48:13,240
When you start, you just wanna make...
cool beats and have fun, you know?

621
00:48:13,320 --> 00:48:16,680
You're not thinking like:
"Oh, I need to have a hit record."

622
00:48:16,760 --> 00:48:20,800
You make those cool beats, you have fun,
you wanna play those-- those beats,

623
00:48:20,880 --> 00:48:25,160
and then, it's just positivity,
it's just fun, it's just entertainment,

624
00:48:26,080 --> 00:48:27,440
and sharing your love.

625
00:48:28,160 --> 00:48:33,880
But then, after, when you had, like,
let's say, three massive global hits,

626
00:48:34,520 --> 00:48:38,280
everybody expects you
to come every time with a global hit,

627
00:48:38,360 --> 00:48:40,080
and this is really hard.

628
00:48:41,960 --> 00:48:44,280
I've been working on Stories for forever.

629
00:48:44,360 --> 00:48:48,600
In-- In my time schedule, it was forever,
because it had taken two years,

630
00:48:48,680 --> 00:48:53,360
and, I mean, the first album took me
three months to make the majority of it,

631
00:48:53,440 --> 00:48:55,800
and this was a completely different thing.

632
00:49:23,960 --> 00:49:26,040
Yeah! Yeah!

633
00:49:52,120 --> 00:49:55,680
He's just like a shell
of what he used to be.

634
00:49:55,760 --> 00:49:59,800
The guy I used to know
wasn't really there anymore.

635
00:50:04,160 --> 00:50:08,360
It was so over the top,
'cause I wasn't drinking when I woke up.

636
00:50:08,440 --> 00:50:10,920
I wasn't-- Y-- I didn't...

637
00:50:12,160 --> 00:50:16,320
I know all my ideas
of a problem wasn't there.

638
00:50:16,920 --> 00:50:21,840
So it didn't-- I couldn't connect
my problem with my lifestyle.

639
00:50:24,120 --> 00:50:30,920
Finally, when the album was done, he, uh,
he had to do this, uh, promotion tour.

640
00:50:31,320 --> 00:50:33,000
Hey, guys, this is Avicii.

641
00:50:33,080 --> 00:50:36,800
Follow my profile to get updates
from my latest album, Stories.

642
00:50:37,360 --> 00:50:38,440
Hey, everybody...

643
00:50:39,640 --> 00:50:43,360
Hey, everybody, it's Avicii.
Check out my new single...

644
00:50:52,200 --> 00:50:53,200
Mm?

645
00:50:55,080 --> 00:50:56,960
"Insert artist's name."

646
00:51:20,240 --> 00:51:23,800
The best thing about falling
is getting up.

647
00:51:24,680 --> 00:51:27,040
A-And the fact is, Tim is up.

648
00:51:27,120 --> 00:51:31,480
When we were finished with
the therapy, Tim wanted to go to the U.S.

649
00:51:36,240 --> 00:51:40,000
Early morning, like four o'clock
in the morning, we got on the plane.

650
00:51:47,560 --> 00:51:49,880
We start flying over Los Angeles.

651
00:51:50,960 --> 00:51:52,320
Wow, this is awesome.

652
00:51:54,760 --> 00:51:58,920
We get in the cars
and we drive towards Malibu.

653
00:52:07,440 --> 00:52:11,080
And we kind of arrive
at this insane house.

654
00:52:14,440 --> 00:52:16,960
Right by the beach, green grass.

655
00:52:19,440 --> 00:52:21,800
We come down and we see the sunset,

656
00:52:21,880 --> 00:52:26,560
this beautiful Malibu sunset,
and we're like: "Wow!"

657
00:52:36,640 --> 00:52:38,880
We met up in Malibu again.

658
00:52:41,560 --> 00:52:45,720
You could tell that he-- he had been
working on-- on himself a lot.

659
00:52:48,480 --> 00:52:49,960
He was a lot different.

660
00:52:51,560 --> 00:52:53,640
He was determined to change his life.

661
00:52:56,920 --> 00:53:00,680
We built a studio
with the most amazing view ever.

662
00:53:01,440 --> 00:53:03,800
We really took out the best in each other.

663
00:53:03,880 --> 00:53:08,320
We started kind of figuring out
how we were gonna plan this and that.

664
00:53:08,400 --> 00:53:11,440
We shut off Tim's e-mail,
we shut off his phone.

665
00:53:12,200 --> 00:53:14,720
That was a really good time for him.

666
00:53:16,440 --> 00:53:19,160
It was a very, very, very nice period.

667
00:54:11,160 --> 00:54:15,600
I felt a lot more collected and I thought:
"I've taken my time now, gone to therapy.

668
00:54:15,680 --> 00:54:18,800
I've been through this and this.
I feel a shit ton better."

669
00:54:18,880 --> 00:54:21,280
And I wanted to get started
on my new album,

670
00:54:21,360 --> 00:54:23,960
so I got a bunch
of my songwriting friends.

671
00:54:24,040 --> 00:54:28,360
We decided to go from L.A. to Miami
on a bus and stop on different places

672
00:54:28,440 --> 00:54:33,840
and kind of do some sort of
outdoor awesomeness studio

673
00:54:33,920 --> 00:54:36,720
in the most kind of epic settings
you could think of.

674
00:56:16,080 --> 00:56:17,080
Mm.

675
00:57:39,880 --> 00:57:43,920
My heart is beating. I can't see clear.

676
00:57:44,000 --> 00:57:47,160
♪ My heart is beating, I can't see clear ♪

677
00:57:49,640 --> 00:57:51,120
Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.

678
00:58:42,200 --> 00:58:43,200
Nice.

679
00:59:00,200 --> 00:59:03,200
I was like:
"Wow, this is gonna be so great."

680
00:59:04,120 --> 00:59:08,440
And then... the road trip ends in Miami.

681
00:59:11,560 --> 00:59:16,280
And the Ultra gig is... is happening.

682
00:59:22,240 --> 00:59:25,960
There was something wrong
with the computer before the show.

683
00:59:30,040 --> 00:59:32,400
- Can I have a picture with him?
- Not now.

684
00:59:32,480 --> 00:59:34,280
- No?
- No way. Sorry. No, no way.

685
00:59:36,880 --> 00:59:37,880
Yeah, I'm here.

686
00:59:41,000 --> 00:59:41,840
Yeah, sure.

687
00:59:43,880 --> 00:59:46,480
I'll start getting more and more nervous.

688
00:59:47,960 --> 00:59:50,600
Things are becoming closer to the show.

689
00:59:51,440 --> 00:59:56,040
Someone comes and tells me: "Okay,
now it's time. It's like five minutes to."

690
00:59:56,120 --> 00:59:57,920
So I'm like: "All right, fuck it."

691
01:00:23,760 --> 01:00:24,760
Okay.

692
01:00:33,040 --> 01:00:37,320
- Sorry. Can I take a picture?
- No, no, no, not now. Not now.

693
01:00:47,200 --> 01:00:50,560
Like, he was pushing himself
for, like, every single day

694
01:00:50,640 --> 01:00:52,680
for whatever how long this was,

695
01:00:53,760 --> 01:00:58,200
and it felt like it was a ticking bomb
and it just exploded at a show.

696
01:01:20,960 --> 01:01:24,520
I thought the other one was great.
There were two tracks...

697
01:01:36,160 --> 01:01:38,520
I see you. I see you out there...

698
01:01:49,960 --> 01:01:53,240
You good? Okay,
I'll be stage right if you need anything.

699
01:02:11,680 --> 01:02:15,080
I'd been away for-- for--
It's eight months, six months.

700
01:02:15,160 --> 01:02:18,240
Now, I've-- I've literally done
everything I can.

701
01:02:23,040 --> 01:02:28,920
And straight away,
I still... I still get stressed out.

702
01:02:29,000 --> 01:02:32,000
I still don't like this.

703
01:02:54,920 --> 01:02:57,080
Thank you to all artists

704
01:02:57,520 --> 01:03:03,640
who've helped me develop
musically and personally.

705
01:03:06,560 --> 01:03:10,000
Thank you, Semi Badreddine,
for all your personal support, talks,

706
01:03:10,080 --> 01:03:11,320
and helping me growing up.

707
01:03:11,400 --> 01:03:15,200
I have a feeling I'd be dead if not
for you, and I will always love you.

708
01:03:46,280 --> 01:03:50,280
And last but not least, a thank you to
every fan who's ever bought a ticket,

709
01:03:50,360 --> 01:03:51,600
or snuck in...

710
01:03:53,360 --> 01:03:56,320
...bought a song or downloaded it,
loved...

711
01:04:00,000 --> 01:04:04,640
It's your thoughts and ideas
about the music that helped me evolve,

712
01:04:04,720 --> 01:04:08,240
and I do owe everything I have to you.

713
01:04:08,320 --> 01:04:11,280
Special thanks to everyone who's...

714
01:04:12,640 --> 01:04:17,520
been a part of the team since day one.

715
01:04:20,720 --> 01:04:23,160
Our journey is far from finished.

716
01:06:01,480 --> 01:06:03,240
I felt shitty, I felt terrible,

717
01:06:03,320 --> 01:06:07,360
because I saw how-- how happy all
the fans are, and I don't fucking like it.

718
01:06:07,440 --> 01:06:11,600
I'm standing up there, pretending
I like something that I don't like doing.

719
01:06:11,680 --> 01:06:15,200
That-- That was just it for me,
because I just knew that there's--

720
01:06:15,280 --> 01:06:18,920
I can't see a way for me to do this
and be happy about it.

721
01:06:19,280 --> 01:06:21,600
After that, I just decided:
"Fuck, I'm gonna quit."

722
01:06:25,520 --> 01:06:28,520
- I think I'm gonna cry.
- We are very sad.

723
01:06:28,600 --> 01:06:30,640
It's unfair, Avicii. Unfair.

724
01:06:30,720 --> 01:06:34,440
Dance music D.J. Avicii
officially retires from touring.

725
01:06:42,760 --> 01:06:43,760
Very sad.

726
01:06:44,480 --> 01:06:48,760
He stands out above anyone else,
and that's why it's so sad to see him go.

727
01:06:48,840 --> 01:06:54,840
It's been a great five years, good music,
and, you know, jam after jam, nice tracks.

728
01:06:54,920 --> 01:06:57,320
If this is what he has to do,
then so be it.

729
01:06:57,400 --> 01:06:59,200
In a letter posted on his website,

730
01:06:59,280 --> 01:07:01,080
Avicii told followers he would:

731
01:07:01,160 --> 01:07:03,320
"Continue to speak to fans
in his music."

732
01:07:03,400 --> 01:07:04,480
♪ Doo-doo-doo... ♪

733
01:08:03,360 --> 01:08:06,800
Tim's life almost revolves around him

734
01:08:06,880 --> 01:08:10,520
being able to create his own music.

735
01:08:10,600 --> 01:08:14,880
Was he doing that part
to get to the concert,

736
01:08:14,960 --> 01:08:18,960
or was he doing it because
he actually just loved making the music?

737
01:08:19,439 --> 01:08:21,240
I think he loved making the music.

738
01:10:14,480 --> 01:10:15,480
Yup.

739
01:10:17,520 --> 01:10:21,240
...Legos.
Our homes and lives are infused with

740
01:10:21,880 --> 01:10:24,400
Scandinavian furniture and design.

741
01:10:25,120 --> 01:10:27,480
Um, some of us dance and sing

742
01:10:27,560 --> 01:10:29,400
to Abba and Avicii.

743
01:10:43,480 --> 01:10:44,480
Hee-hee!

744
01:10:56,000 --> 01:10:58,920
Even though he decided
to quit with the touring,

745
01:10:59,000 --> 01:11:00,840
he still had a lot of shows to do,

746
01:11:00,920 --> 01:11:03,960
so he had the whole summer
that he had to tour still.

747
01:11:04,040 --> 01:11:05,640
He had to do Ibiza.

748
01:11:05,720 --> 01:11:11,920
He had to do all these places in-- around
Europe and he started with-- with Vegas.

749
01:13:24,680 --> 01:13:26,200
Mm.

750
01:14:38,880 --> 01:14:42,840
He, uh, he went to speak with
who is the owner of the hotel,

751
01:14:42,920 --> 01:14:44,400
together with Steve Wynn.

752
01:14:45,240 --> 01:14:46,680
Mr. President.

753
01:15:12,960 --> 01:15:13,960
Mm-hmm.

754
01:15:23,120 --> 01:15:26,680
They had a great talk
and understood completely,

755
01:15:26,760 --> 01:15:29,480
and, uh, that was,
uh, it with the Vegas shows.

756
01:15:39,720 --> 01:15:41,720
When I decided to stop...

757
01:15:43,000 --> 01:15:45,600
I was expecting a completely different...

758
01:15:46,280 --> 01:15:49,240
I was expecting support in stopping.

759
01:15:49,320 --> 01:15:52,360
I was expecting to,
especially with what I'd been through.

760
01:15:52,440 --> 01:15:53,440
And I'd been very open

761
01:15:53,520 --> 01:15:56,920
with every-- everyone I worked with
and everyone who knows me.

762
01:15:57,000 --> 01:16:00,720
I've been very open with what
I've been through, what I've felt, and...

763
01:16:00,800 --> 01:16:01,840
what I've done.

764
01:16:01,920 --> 01:16:03,480
You know, everyone knows,

765
01:16:04,000 --> 01:16:08,520
uh, that I've been anxious and, you know,
everything, and that I've been trying.

766
01:16:08,600 --> 01:16:12,640
So I-I... I didn't expect people to try

767
01:16:12,720 --> 01:16:15,920
to push me to-- to do more shows,

768
01:16:17,040 --> 01:16:18,360
when it really...

769
01:16:22,440 --> 01:16:26,360
When they'd seen
how shitty I felt... doing it.

770
01:16:26,440 --> 01:16:31,240
So-- So I did get a lot of resistance
when I wanted to stop doing the shows.

771
01:16:36,640 --> 01:16:37,800
Yeah!

772
01:16:43,080 --> 01:16:44,080
Liam!

773
01:17:31,640 --> 01:17:36,000
Anyone that-- that goes
from-- from being in school

774
01:17:36,840 --> 01:17:40,720
to all-- to having a career
and being successful

775
01:17:40,800 --> 01:17:43,040
misses a big part of growing up.

776
01:18:14,480 --> 01:18:17,840
Obviously that comes with challenges.
He doesn't-- You know, there's a...

777
01:19:42,000 --> 01:19:43,000
What's your name?

778
01:19:45,200 --> 01:19:47,160
- Tim.
- Nice to meet you.

779
01:19:47,240 --> 01:19:49,800
One, two, three.

780
01:20:19,400 --> 01:20:21,400
I'm so happy I'm finally here.

781
01:20:24,560 --> 01:20:27,800
I've had the best five days
in Japan ever.

782
01:20:28,960 --> 01:20:31,920
You guys have
the most beautiful country ever.

783
01:26:37,880 --> 01:26:39,120
Hm? Yeah, sure.

784
01:28:21,840 --> 01:28:22,840
Move.

785
01:29:17,400 --> 01:29:22,000
Avicii! Avicii! Avicii!

786
01:29:22,400 --> 01:29:25,720
Avicii! Avicii...

787
01:30:17,920 --> 01:30:18,920
Ushuaia.

788
01:30:20,760 --> 01:30:23,400
Thank you so much for tonight.

789
01:30:23,480 --> 01:30:25,640
Avicii! Avicii...

790
01:30:26,360 --> 01:30:29,240
I couldn't have asked
for a-- a better last show.

791
01:30:31,200 --> 01:30:33,720
Thank you so much for tonight,
you were awesome.

792
01:31:55,760 --> 01:31:58,440
The-- The performance part of it

793
01:31:58,840 --> 01:32:03,200
is one part of the artistic arc.

794
01:32:03,680 --> 01:32:05,520
And if you cut that out of it,

795
01:32:06,440 --> 01:32:09,280
you still have the life
of the creative composer,

796
01:32:09,720 --> 01:32:11,640
the person who puts it all together.

797
01:32:11,720 --> 01:32:16,960
That is a beautiful,
wonderful, rewarding life.

798
01:32:19,280 --> 01:32:23,040
I watched his ups
and I watched his downs,

799
01:32:23,400 --> 01:32:25,520
and I can understand that because...

800
01:32:26,600 --> 01:32:31,040
you know, I too had success
at a very, very young age.

801
01:32:31,120 --> 01:32:34,640
So, it's hard for people
who don't have success

802
01:32:35,000 --> 01:32:40,000
in their twenties to understand
what comes with,

803
01:32:40,560 --> 01:32:44,920
you know, anything you want to buy in
your twenties, anything you want to have.

804
01:32:45,000 --> 01:32:48,680
And then you're gonna have, like, a gang
of leeches, you know what I'm saying?

805
01:32:48,760 --> 01:32:53,960
Then you got people who just gonna just
try to suck you up, you know what I mean?

806
01:32:54,040 --> 01:32:56,200
And now, you know,
it's almost like sometimes

807
01:32:56,280 --> 01:32:59,000
you feel like you in a world
all by yourself.

808
01:32:59,360 --> 01:33:05,800
So, for you to find a way out of that
and to still say: "You know what?

809
01:33:07,240 --> 01:33:13,360
I'm Tim, I love music, but you know what,
right now, I just need to find myself."

810
01:33:22,840 --> 01:33:26,560
But now it's only been
a month since I did my last show

811
01:33:26,640 --> 01:33:27,640
and I feel...

812
01:33:29,960 --> 01:33:35,640
I mean, like, I feel like
I did when I was like 18, maybe.

813
01:33:36,200 --> 01:33:41,160
I feel I'm in the same
kind of spirit as I was then.

814
01:34:01,480 --> 01:34:04,640
I started making music
and I started DJing.

815
01:34:04,720 --> 01:34:08,560
I just quit my job
and I don't really have a plan yet.
