Pavlo was named after his grandfather. “Pavlo” is the Greek version of the name, “Paul”, and ironically, Pavlo was born on the very day of “St. Paul”. Being of Greek heritage, this was also Pavlo’s “name day”. His family always said he was “lucky”. To make things even more interesting, St. Paul happens to be the patron saint of musicians.
Since the time the guitar topped Pavlo’s Christmas wish list at the age of five, he believed he was meant to entertain the entire world. By the age of twelve, Pavlo had composed his first song, and by thirteen, he would throw himself onstage and in front of any audience that would listen.
As a teenager, Pavlo would play in several rock and roll bands, and as their venues would be alcohol serving bars and clubs, Pavlo would perform, with a signed permission slip from his parents. At the same time, Pavlo would achieve honour roll in school, and then enthusiastically study flamenco guitar, classical guitar and the art of song writing.
In his early twenties, Pavlo would continue playing in rock bands; he worked odd jobs; finished university; studied entertainment law, and on the weekends, he would have fun playing with a Greek wedding band.
It was during a vacation in Santorini, Greece that a melody came to him. Pavlo picked up his guitar, and wrote the song that would spark what became Pavlo’s very own distinct style. “It was like a light came on”, he remembers. It was a song that was Greek inspired, and the melody made him happy, much like the way he felt growing up in a celebrative household. “It felt like home.” In that moment, Pavlo realized doing what he loved meant celebrating who he was. He baptized his new genre of music as his own “Mediterranean” music.
That song was entitled, “Santorini Sunset”.
As with every venture Pavlo pursued, his family became his first supporters. His mother would make and prepare his onstage outfits. His sister would stand at the CD table and sell his albums. His father would watch every performance, and go over it later – critiquing every note. George, Pavlo’s father, would always keep him at the top of his game, and as an entrepreneur, Pavlo’s father would inspire Pavlo to diligently move forward.
Love You Forever

cnd not even then sometimes
Thought I was fine
But I‘m just not at times
cre those feelings that you hide
Or are those lies just lies
Last night you felt the vibe
But I guess that‘s just one night
You just love me when you‘re high
You just love me when you‘re high
You just love me when you‘re high
You just love me, You just love me
You just love me when you‘re high
You just love me when I bleed out
cll of my insides
You just love me when you‘re high
You just love me, You just love me
You just love me when you‘re high
I think about it all the time
Just little moments but they felt like light
Last night we partied until dawn
Bet no one counted all those keys that we were on
Rest of the week we write off
You said you wanted more but i called your bluff
Deep inside I know I don't belong
Only problem is I know what I really want
cnd I know sometimes
Just sometimes
Yeah sometimes
Yeah at least sometimes
You just love me when you‘re high
You just love me when you‘re high
You just love me when you‘re high
You just love me, You just love me
You just love me when you‘re high
You just love me when I bleed out
cll of my insides
You just love me when you‘re high
You just love me, You just love me
You just love me when you‘re high
Only give me brightest daylight when I‘m the dark knight
Darkest hour, can‘t believe I turned off my ghost light
Because I wanted you so bad, I shut down my brain, closed my third eye
Couldn‘t help it but trying to redeem myself after all the times I've tried
Times I've tried
The lyrics of Pavlo's song "Love You Forever" delve into a complex and turbulent relationship that is defined by the singer's partner's behavior when they are under the influence of drugs. The opening lines highlight the inconsistency of their love, as they only seem to show affection when they are high, and even then, it is not always guaranteed. The singer initially believes that everything is fine in the relationship, but they eventually realize that there are hidden feelings or perhaps lies being concealed.
The chorus emphasizes the cyclical nature of this love, reiterating that it is only present when their partner is under the influence. The lyrics imply that the partner's love is conditional, as they only express affection when the singer is emotionally vulnerable, represented by the line "You just love me when I bleed out all of my insides." Despite the pain caused by this pattern, the singer continues to think about their moments together, acknowledging that they were filled with a certain brightness and intensity.
The second verse introduces the theme of addiction and the negative impact it has on the relationship. The couple indulges in partying and drugs, using them as a form of escape. However, the singer recognizes that they do not truly belong in this lifestyle and that their desires and objectives differ from their partner. Despite this realization, they struggle to break free and continue seeking the love and validation that is only given when their partner is high.
The final stanza reflects the singer's desperation and their willingness to sacrifice their own well-being for love. They mention shutting down their brain and closing their third eye, alluding to a loss of rationality and intuition in their pursuit of the relationship. The lyrics suggest that the singer has made countless attempts to improve the situation and seeks redemption for their past actions. However, it remains uncertain whether their efforts will be successful.
Overall, "Love You Forever" portrays a tumultuous relationship defined by conditional love, addiction, and a sense of longing. It delves into the complexities of love and the destructive behaviors that can arise within such dynamics.

You only love me when you're high
You only show affection towards me when you are under the influence of drugs
And not even then sometimes
Sometimes, even when you are high, you still don't love me
Thought I was fine
I believed everything was alright
But I'm just not at times
But there are moments when I am not fine
Are those feelings that you hide
Are those emotions that you keep concealed
Or are those lies just lies
Or are those lies simply falsehoods
Last night you felt the vibe
Last night, you experienced the atmosphere
But I guess that's just one night
But I suppose it was only a temporary experience
You just love me when you're high
You only express love towards me when you are under the influence of drugs
You just love me, You just love me
You only love me and nothing more
You just love me when I bleed out
You only love me when I am emotionally vulnerable
All of my insides
Every part of my being
I think about it all the time
I constantly reflect on it
Just little moments but they felt like light
Brief instances that seemed significant
Last night we partied until dawn
Last night, we celebrated until morning
Bet no one counted all those keys that we were on
I wager no one tallied how much drugs we consumed
Rest of the week we write off
We disregard the rest of the week
You said you wanted more but I called your bluff
You claimed to desire more, but I don't believe you
Deep inside I know I don't belong
Internally, I am aware that I do not fit in
Only problem is I know what I really want
The issue is that I know what I truly desire
And I know sometimes
And I am aware that occasionally
Just sometimes
Only on certain occasions
Yeah sometimes
Yes, occasionally
Yeah at least sometimes
Yes, at least on certain occasions
Only give me brightest daylight when I'm the dark knight
You only show me happiness and positivity when I am at my lowest
Darkest hour, can't believe I turned off my ghost light
In my most desperate moments, I cannot believe I suppressed my inner guiding light
Because I wanted you so bad, I shut down my brain, closed my third eye
Because I desired you intensely, I ignored rational thinking and closed off my intuition
Couldn't help it but trying to redeem myself after all the times I've tried
I couldn't resist attempting to save myself after numerous failed attempts
Times I've tried
Instances when I made an effort
