The planning of “COLLIDE,” the official music video, started soon after Erik Goca’s new single “COLLIDE” was recorded in September 2020. The song was later released on January first, “New Years’ day of 2021.
The project’s direction was taking shape, but there were limitations in the way as the Covid – 19 pandemic forced many venues and businesses to close down as the lockdown was in effect and social distancing, just like wearing a mask was a mandate.
Amidst the Covid – 19 pandemic’s restrictions throughout the year of 2020, Erik Goca was resilient to find a location to film the video. Erik contacted multiple venues following the Covid – 19 guidelines, such as “Tiger Lab Studios,” notorious for its infinity wall by founder CEO Skylar Dawn.
“I started to work on “COLLIDE,” in September for my birthday.
A present and a promise to never give up on my dreams and be persistent with my goals. If you don’t do the work, then who will? Simple as that. All you got to do is go for it.
I had moments of uncertainty and energy-consuming anxiety where I thought to myself if I shall continue to work on this dream that almost felt unreachable. Still, then I would get inspired and write songs and just fall back in love all over again, telling myself how absurd of me be to even think of quitting. It’s just not an option; music is my life, and I’m not willing to give it up.
I sang to myself, “Time To Say Good-bye” to all those fears that don’t serve me. Although, yes, you make mistakes and you learn from them, you are not the same person you were years ago, let go of all of what weighs you down, and you’ll do better.”
