In the vast expanse of music that tugs at heartstrings, there emerges a song that doesn’t just resonate with the ears but speaks directly to the soul. Kundan Soni, a name that has begun to stand out in the realm of indie music in India, brings forth his latest single, ‘Alvida’. This isn’t just a song; it’s a narrative woven into a melody, it’s an emotion that’s been carefully crafted into a tune.
‘Alvida’, which means goodbye in Hindi, explores the poignant journey of bidding farewell not just to a person but to a chapter of life that was once replete with promises and love. As Kundan Soni takes us through this melodious farewell, the weight of the emotions is almost tangible, leaving listeners with a song that echoes in the silence of their own experiences of parting.
The Essence of ‘Alvida’
At its core, ‘Alvida’ is about the courage it takes to let go. It’s a tribute to the bittersweet reality of life, where not all love stories find their forever after, not all promises are kept, and sometimes, goodbyes, although painful, are necessary. The song delves deep into the heartache of a love that’s lost its way, of promises that turned out to be as fleeting as shadows at dusk.
Kundan Soni, with his evocative voice, takes us through evenings that were once marked with laughter and whispers of love, now just memories that linger. The lyrics, “Kitni Shaame Meri, Maine Haan Tere Naam Ki,” signify the time dedicated to a love that’s no longer present. It’s a powerful admission of the investment of one’s time and emotions into a relationship that’s now asking to be released.
The song isn’t just about endings; it’s also about the liberation and the difficult path to self-discovery after the fall of a relationship. It’s about finding oneself amidst the echoes of an ‘Alvida’.

Life, in all its complexity, has always been my muse. ‘Alvida’ came from a place of raw emotion, from the experiences that shape us when we have to let go of someone significant. It’s not just about romantic love, but also about the essence of change and the various goodbyes we encounter. Every chord, every note is drawn from the personal stories I’ve lived, witnessed, and imagined. This song is my ode to those moments of farewell, a shared sentiment with anyone who’s had to part ways with a piece of their heart.

What message do you hope listeners take away from ‘Alvida’?
I want my listeners to know that it’s okay to feel the weight of a goodbye. ‘Alvida’ is a reminder that farewells can also be a form of self-love and growth. It’s an encouragement to embrace the pain, to let it transform you, and eventually, to let it go. I hope the song provides solace and a sense of companionship during those lonely moments of parting. If my music can be a friend in the quiet, I believe I’ve succeeded as an artist.
