12 saying goodbye (with Antent)
"saying goodbye" is the epilogue of the album - a moment when the final page is turned, yet this farewell is not an end but rather an invitation to return, as the cycle of Samsara repeats over and over again. This track gently and warmly concludes our musical journey, leaving the listener with a sense of peace and quiet hope.
Against the backdrop of the entire musical adventure, we do not end on a dark note but with a feeling of light and eternity - this is the emotion the track evokes. It is not a farewell forever but rather an embrace for a moment, with the promise of meeting again.
Atmosphere and Sound
The track begins with beautiful, warm chord progressions, and at its center, a soaring electric guitar, performed by Dean Korso, takes flight. Its sound lifts the listener into the air, creating a sensation of lightness, warmth, and boundlessness. The guitar doesn’t press or overwhelm - instead, it gently invites the listener into a world of peace and harmony.
Collaboration with Antent
In this track, we once again feel a connection with close companions, as it was created in collaboration with Antent, a close friend of Øneheart.
