Let us immediately note that this disc appeared in particular through support provided by the Patriotic Song Festival named after Kost' Yerofeyev, and the party of the second guitar was performed by Hryhory Lukyanenko, a former participant of the "Ruthenia" band. Thus, the vector is clear. Actually, this is the author's album – Igor Bily is the author of all the lyrics, and he did not organize any band to that end. All the songs are for two guitars. Concise, clear, and simple enough. However, the key emphasis is still on the lyrics – it is worth listening, hearing, and understanding. Attentive songs are always relevant.
And – a fragment from the official press release: "Ihor Bily is a Ukraine loving bard from Khmelnytsky with a specific sense of humor. He composed his first song at the age of 42, but currently his works include more than 140 compositions. Poets and musicians compare the talent of Ihor Bily with the successful Alexander Rosenbaum..."

This seems to be that very bardic song, although in the sounding there is now more transparent, delicate sense, which is conveyed not with words, but exactly with music. But at the same time, the word has not become less significant. As it should be when the issue is intelligent, thought over, internally experienced texts, not just rhymed lines of certain meters.

At a certain moment it seems as if you were listening not to a simple musical album, but to a collection of songs from films. From old and kind films about love, striving, laugh and tears, nonsense and serious questions of life.
