The song with the initial term "No matter how we go crazy" the author gave the name "Gather Me". She played a certain role in the creative destiny of the representative of the new wave pop direction, the popular hitmaker and sound producer Artyom Pivovarov.
On the first line of a poetic work, it is identified in two cases: if the author did not give the title to the poem during publication; when the song written to this text became known to a wide range of listeners from various information sources (Internet, television, radio, cinema). The composition with the opening lines “No matter how we go crazy” in the current music ratings of performers is firmly in the top 10 from Artem Pivovarov called “Collect me”. And the line from the song "We are one Universe" reflects the philosophy of life and at the same time forms the basis of the creativity of the popular Ukrainian hit maker.
Song biography
"No matter how we go crazy" was written by the author and performer of songs in the style of new wave pop Artem Pivovarov in 2015. At first, the composition existed in the form of a clip, filmed independently by its creator on the principle of backward scrolling of events “in one frame”. The soulful, melodic song, which was named after the first line, was rapidly gaining views thanks to its large audience on the Internet. Having attracted the attention of music critics, the video appeared in the charts of well-known channels, for example, MuzTV. The popularity was added by the fact that the lyrical composition sounded in the TV show "Dancing on TNT". The song, which the author called "Gather Me" in the album, became not just a musical accompaniment for a choreographic performance, but a real dance story. In 2016, the single paved another route - it was made the official soundtrack and musical line of the Hotel Eleon series. Having sounded for the first time in the 10th episode, the song "hooked" the fans of the series so much that during the sound of the track, more than 1000 people found it using the Shazam music recognition service. At the moment, the number of listens and downloads is calculated in hundreds of thousands of times. Covers, playcasts and video clips posted on YouTube amaze with an extraordinary variety. The song is popular among adherents of the contemporary dance direction and music lovers.
"Gather Me" - lyrics and chords
Artyom Pivovarov's simple text contains the refrain: “if I fall, pick me up, piece by piece …”. A simple melodic pattern is built on three main chords: two triads - a major E and a minor F # m, and a major major seventh chord Dmaj7.
All this allows even a not very experienced musician to play a melody on a guitar or piano, makes singing with a backing track available. The main thing is that everyone puts into the performance something of their own, deeply personal. The frank emotional text and the nagging lyric melody written by the young man do not pass by, but remain inside to turn into our own feelings and thoughts.
We are one universe
Artem Pivovarov not only writes lyrics and music. Since 2013, he has been implementing his solo project Pivovarov with the full band of the same name. The musician himself is engaged in videography and editing of clips, recently he began to get involved in drawing. In the Internet series Unknown, he talks about the people who create popular and niche music while remaining behind the scenes (authors, arrangers and other team members).
In 2015, Pivovarov began working as a sound producer. Even a venerable showman can envy the number of features he has created with musicians, performers and bands. Among the participants in joint projects are Mot, SunSay, Regina Todorenko, Vladi, Smash, Anna Sedokova, Bakey, Fenoman, Dside Band, Nerves, Play, Not People. He is looking for new musical forms, experimenting in collaborations with representatives of different genres (for example, with Max Fadeev). In 2017, Artem Pivovarov entered the top ten most popular Ukrainian artists on YouTube. The next year he became a nominee for "Soundtrack".
It all started with a passion for the music of the Gorillaz group, which none of the 12-year-old's peers liked. And the guitars my mother bought in the early 2000s for more than a nurse's monthly wage so that my son could study at a music school. The uncle, who introduced Artyom to Prodigy, SlipKnot and others, contributed to the conscious perception of informal music. Music experts are increasingly comparing Pivovarov with Ivan Dorn and Monatic. Artem himself takes this calmly and explains such comparisons by the fact that they are largely united by the same sources of inspiration, for example, Maroon 5, Kanye West, Justin. This is where the statement “We are one universe” in the lyrics of the song “Gather Me”.
You are water, I am thirst
The opinions of most critics and fans of Artyom Pivovarov's work agree on one thing. His songs can make you cry or laugh, have fun or be sad, experience a variety of emotions, but they definitely leave no room for indifference. In his lyrics - air, in music - fire. And water flows nearby. Transparent and deep, calm and harmonious, this element, of course, symbolizes love. The very one about which in the song "Gather Me" there is a phrase "No matter how we go crazy: you are water, I am thirst."
By and large, this is about the fact that the support of loved ones is extremely important and vital for a creative, extraordinary person. And Artyom has it. A loving mother calls out to her son, who is prone to extreme in life and on stage: "Don't jump!" A caring grandmother asks: "Stop getting tattoos and eat well." The beloved girl supports the artist's creative endeavors, shares his views, she is a participant in the project for the adaptation of the song "My Night". So the experimental musician Artyom Pivovarov, who sings "if I fall," has someone to "hold and collect." Agree that it is worth a lot.
