SHAMAN explained the meaning of the new song "Goodbye, my Love"

Russian singer Yaroslav Dronov, who performs under the pseudonym SHAMAN, presented a new song and video "Goodbye, my Love". The release of the lyrical song about the breakup took place on October 1.

The artist personally announced the release of his work on social networks, noting that there are words that can divide a person's life into "before" and "after." In an interview with RIA Novosti, the singer explained that the song is dedicated to the moment when a person is forced to let go of a loved one, despite lingering feelings.

"The three words "I love you" can be the beginning of a big story. And the three words "goodbye, my love" are her finale. Sometimes a lifetime passes between these confessions," SHAMAN said.

Plot and musical accents

According to the musician, his character's story illustrates an internal struggle that is familiar to many. The breakup is the result of the hero's inability to change himself, and behind the outward determination lies a feeling of emptiness. The singer added that the composition also speaks about the courage to stay true to yourself, even if the price of such a choice is a living feeling.

The artist paid special attention to the musical component. The deep mood is set by the piano part, and the drums symbolize the countdown to the "point of no return." The emotional state of the character is conveyed by the guitar solo and the strain in the vocals, revealing the state of the "wounded soul".

The video's visual sequence continues the song's plot: the hero walks alone through a cold city after a breakup. The video is made in black and white. According to the singer, this scale turns the video into a kind of X-ray of the soul, which reveals hidden feelings.

Filming Details

According to MUZ-TV, the video was shot in Moscow. In the frame, you can see iconic metropolitan locations, including a skyscraper on Kotelnicheskaya Embankment, bridges and park areas overlooking the church. In the finale of the video series, a director's technique is used with a close-up of the artist, who is barely holding back tears at the moment of parting with the heroine.

The release also provoked discussion on social media. Against the background of the release of the breakup song, unconfirmed rumors about the artist's personal relationship appeared in the media space, but there were no official comments on this.

Yaroslav Dronov became widely known in 2022 thanks to the compositions "Let's Get Up" and "I am Russian". Despite the popularity of patriotic songs, lyrics regularly appear in the performer's repertoire. The new work confirms the development of this trend in the artist's work, aimed at a wide audience.
