Something special arrives August 29th – DYING WITH ME drops the same day I take the stage at Атмосферика 24 festival in “Столярка” bar. The timing isn’t coincidental; this track demands live energy to fully come alive.
DYING WITH ME explores darker emotional territory than recent releases. The sound carries heavier textures, more urgent rhythms, yet maintains the intimate vulnerability that defines my artistic approach. This isn’t melancholy for its own sake – it’s honest examination of connection and loss.
Lyrically, the track navigates the complex space between holding on and letting go. The title suggests both surrender and solidarity – the idea that some experiences require companionship, even in their most difficult moments. Sometimes we need someone willing to share our deepest struggles.
Working with Vladislav Mazur on this piece pushed our collaborative sound into new territories. The arrangements support emotional intensity without overwhelming it. Guitar work cuts deeper here, drums hit harder, yet every element serves the song’s raw emotional core.
The live version planned for Атмосферика 24 will differ significantly from the recorded track. Festival energy demands different approaches – more immediate, more visceral. Expect stripped-down arrangements that emphasize direct emotional connection with the audience.
August 29th represents a convergence of studio creation and live performance. Release day coinciding with concert creates unique opportunity to experience DYING WITH ME in both intimate recorded form and raw live presentation within hours of each other.
The festival setting at “Столярка” promises perfect atmosphere for this material. Intimate venue, engaged audience, collaborative energy – everything needed to give this song its proper debut.
DYING WITH ME coming August 29th, live and recorded simultaneously.
