Today marks the official release of OUR LOVE IS DEAD – a song born from the raw aftermath of heartbreak and the complex process of learning to breathe again after everything falls apart.
This track came together during one of those periods when everyone around you thinks you should be “moving on” while your inner world remains completely shattered. The disconnect between how quickly others expect healing and how slowly it actually happens became the song’s emotional foundation.
The opening lines about rewriting stars reflect that impossible wish to go back and change everything – to somehow create a parallel universe where different choices led to different outcomes. But the song ultimately accepts that some stories end despite our desperate attempts to edit them.
What strikes me most about the finished track is how it captures contradictory feelings without trying to resolve them. Love can be dead and alive simultaneously. Others can be completely wrong about what you’re experiencing while also being factually correct about surface details.
Working with Vladislav Mazur, we built sonic landscapes that mirror these emotional contradictions. The production carries weight without crushing the delicate moments where hope breaks through. Every arrangement choice supports the song’s exploration of grief as something both destructive and generative.
The repeated line “no one cares but still you can” became my anchor throughout this creative process. It acknowledges the fundamental loneliness of heartbreak while refusing to surrender personal agency. Even when support feels absent, the capacity for self-healing remains.
Recording this song required revisiting memories I’d been avoiding for months. The studio sessions became a form of emotional archaeology – carefully excavating pain to understand what could be transformed into art.
OUR LOVE IS DEAD suggests that our most devastating experiences can generate the most meaningful creative work. Not because suffering is noble, but because honesty about darkness makes any light more precious.
