Following on from his latest single, ‘One Goodbye<\/a>‘, BOSCO spoke with Essentially Pop about his music and what he hopes listeners will take away from the release.<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

What first inspired ‘One Goodbye’, and when did the core idea click for you?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    <\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    People are dying for no reason. Thinking about them and imagining their loved ones who had no notice. I lost my dad unexpectedly and never got to tell him how I felt so I feel it is important to tell people \u201ctoday\u201d how you feel because you might not get the chance tomorrow<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    This song feels really personal – what made you want to open up in this way right now?\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

      <\/ol>\n\n\n\n

      I\u2019ve always felt this way, I just was able to put it into art form.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      The track has that warm, early-2000s indie vibe. How did you find the right mix of softness and edge in the sound?\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

        <\/ol>\n\n\n\n

        I have a very talented engineer. He\u2019s worked on hits for Snoop Dogg, Fineas and Ferb, plus many others. I just write the music and leave the rest to Casey Diiorio at Valve studios<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        The message about appreciating people while we still can is powerful – did anything in your own life bring that theme forward?\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

          <\/ol>\n\n\n\n

          Yeah. My mom and dad split when I was 2 and I never got to see him. He died when I was 16.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

          You start the video with that Rumi quote. What does that line mean to you in the context of this song?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

            <\/ol>\n\n\n\n

            Pain opens us up to see things differently. For me, it let the light in ultimately. I can\u2019t say the darkness didn\u2019t try to consume me. I was extremely upset when my dad died but I learned to use that to make me a better person<\/p>\n\n\n\n

            The mix of 70\u2019s childhood clips and the empty chair is emotional. How did you decide on that visual contrast?\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

              <\/ol>\n\n\n\n

              I can\u2019t honestly answer that. We were in the studio filming and all of a sudden something or some presence came over me and the was someone in the chair. No one I could see but someone I could feel. The filming became so emotional that the videographer had to ask if I was alright after. Jared Sagal, my videographer and good friend, pieced everything together from there. He\u2019s very talented<\/p>\n\n\n\n

              In the studio scenes, it feels like you\u2019re searching for something unsaid. What did you hope viewers would feel in those moments?\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                <\/ol>\n\n\n\n

                I\u2019m searching for the person \u201cmy dad\u201d that I didn\u2019t get to say goodbye to.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                If someone hears ‘One Goodbye’ on a tough day, what do you hope it helps them realize or remember?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                  <\/ol>\n\n\n\n

                   Everyone, rich or poor, has bad days. If you can rise above your feelings and help someone else\u2019s day be better, it makes your day better, too. I used to hate a lot. But it doesn\u2019t make anything better. We heal when we love unconditionally<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                  Anything you\u2019d like to share about what you\u2019re working toward in 2026?\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                    <\/ol>\n\n\n\n
