The Story of Tim’s impact on my life

Dear Tim,

Today on the 20th of April 2026 it has been 8 Years since God has chosen to take you, the greatest EDM DJ of all time. I want to take this special Date as an opportunity to share my Story that I have had with your Music. (Please pardon my English Im from Germany)
It Was four years ago in 2022 ( dammit where did time go?) when, I don’t know where from a Song called „The Nights“ by some guy named Avicii got in my Playlist on Amazon Music. Me, unaware of who this guy was clicked on that song for the very first time. Now I don’t really remember when, where or how this first listening went on, but I do know that I got thrown into a world full of light, Bass and Feelings. As a person who grew up in a household that was always filled with music that wasn’t really the type of electro I first was sceptical if I really liked that type of music. But „The Nights“ soon became one of my favourite songs of all time. The power, the happiness, the Emotion and the Message soon got me interested in more. My father has a great collection of CDs, so I soon got interested in more of this Guys Music. I looked him up and immediately liked his big songs live „Levels“ or „Wake me up“. In 2023 I had listend into his Albums and wasn’t fully convinced by them. I sure liked a lot of his songs but not all of them. From 2023 to 2024 I got even deeper into the topic and first met with the live Story of Tim. I was surprised that he did not live anymore but wasn’t sad at this point. In 2024 I got my first Avicii Zipper and was happy as a Child on Christmas. I’ll jump to the middle of 2024. I just saw the documentary „I’m Tim“ and although I already knew the Story of his live at that moment the message hit me: Avicii is dead. You favourite artist of all time won’t ever give you new music. You’ll never see him live.“ That evening I sat in My room Crying. In 2025/26 I got to love literally every Album he ever created. I got „Stories“ as a CD and I’m about to get „Tim„ on CD too.
This Guy chanced my live in so many ways. He got me happy when I was in a very dark place. He got my deepest respect for what he did. I realise I am a kind of new fan but without Tim I wouldn’t be who I am today and I like Who I am. Thank you Tim. I can’t put in words how much I love you and how much I want to thank you. I once saw a Quote: „ Avicii didn‘t die. God just needed a DJ and he chose the best one.“ So with that Thought in Mind I look forward to hear you play on the other side.
RIP
