“This song is very special to me, to my often sad soul, which I’ve tried so hard to hide. It took time until I realized what I truly wanted to convey through my music, and now I believe and feel that with this song, I’m on the right path. Sometimes, it’s important to be a little sad so that we can be truly honest with ourselves,” says Kalderauskis about his first self-penned song, which is also a prelude to his upcoming debut album.
