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.
Never on Sunday
Pavlo Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
A Monday, a Monday is very, very good
Or you can kiss me on a Tuesday
A Tuesday, a Tuesday, in fact I wish you would
Or you can kiss me on a Wednesday
A Thursday, a Friday and Saturday is best
But never, never on a Sunday
A Sunday, a Sunday, 'cause that's my day of rest
Most any day you can be my guest
Any day you say, but my day of rest
Just name the day that you like the best
Only stay away on my day of rest
Oh, you can kiss me on a cool day, a hot day
A wet day, which everyone you choose
Or try to kiss me on a gray day, a May day
A pay day, and see if I refuse
And if you make it on a bleak day
A freak day, a week day, why you can be my guest
But never, never on a Sunday
Pavlo's song Never on Sunday is a light-hearted tune about the joys of romance and the importance of taking one's rest day seriously. The song portrays the singer as someone who is open to romance any day of the week, except for Sunday, which is their day of rest. The lyrics suggest that the singer is open to affection any day of the week except for Sunday. Each verse describes a different day of the week and how the singer would welcome a kiss on each of these days. However, there is a clear contrast in the chorus, where the singer states that they would prefer not to be kissed on Sundays, as it's their day of rest.
The song's theme is universal and relatable, as everyone needs a rest day, and many people value the Sabbath. The lyrics also show that the singer does not take themselves too seriously and is open to romance at any time. This gives the song a light-hearted feel and promotes the need for rest and relaxation, particularly on Sundays.

Oh, you can kiss me on a Monday
I’m open to affection anytime, even Monday
A Monday, a Monday is very, very good
Monday is just as great as any other day
Or you can kiss me on a Tuesday
Tuesday is great too, I wouldn't object
A Tuesday, a Tuesday, in fact I wish you would
Please do kiss me on a Tuesday
Or you can kiss me on a Wednesday
Wednesday is good too, any day is fine
A Thursday, a Friday and Saturday is best
In fact, these days are the prime kissing days
But never, never on a Sunday
However, Sunday is off-limits
A Sunday, a Sunday, 'cause that's my day of rest
Sunday is my only day to relax and unwind
Most any day you can be my guest
You're welcome to come over anytime
Any day you say, but my day of rest
Except for Sunday, that one day is my one rule
Just name the day that you like the best
Choose the day that works best for you
Only stay away on my day of rest
Just remember to avoid Sunday
Oh, you can kiss me on a cool day, a hot day
The weather doesn't matter, I'll take any opportunity
A wet day, which everyone you choose
Rainy days are fine too
Or try to kiss me on a gray day, a May day
Even on a gloomy day, I'm still into it
A pay day, and see if I refuse
Even on payday, I won't say no
And if you make it on a bleak day
Even on a cold and dreary day
A freak day, a week day, why you can be my guest
Or any other weekday, I have no objections
But never, never on a Sunday
Just don't pick Sunday, that's all I ask
