About the song, Gontar comments, “The song is about this girl I met on a trip, which lasted about 3 days. On this trip, we did exactly what is described in the song. Together under the stars at night, we connected terribly, even though we both come from different worlds, as described in the song. Different worlds? I mean a different religion. We had a very strong connection, the connection continued after the trip, but as described in the song, it did not last long.”
“In the song, you can see all sorts of memories from our meetings, like that time on the beach, when I thought it was probably a sign that we were meant to be together, but no. The very fact that we are from different worlds, it can not happen. Religion defeated love. The story is very sad, but I decided to go for a happy and catchy bit, because thanks to all this, “Say Goodbye” was born.”
On his future plans, he added, “We plan to create new stuff, also make some new cover versions, travel around the world and try to capture the best frames for us. As I always say, let the music take the wheel. I plan to do more collaborations, some of them are already known, and some are still unknown. Smile to the world and the world will smile back. Since I’ve known myself, I’ve always had musical instruments. I can not imagine my life without it. I keep looking at other artists and take an example.”
Speaking about loving his work, he said, “Of course, I work in my own way, but I use a lot of tools from the side. 16 years back, where I first fell in love with music. I guess what motivated me to this point today is that it came to me from a young age. What still keeps me moving is that I want to show myself that dreams do come true. There are many more targets to conquer on the way.”
