With the song “Drīz gaismīnas degs” affirming the joy of life, the musical Livči family, familiar from TV shows, is coming to the audience.
At the beginning of this year, the great pop pianist Anatolijs Livča and the manager of the strip plastic studio Loreta Macijevska-Livča gained recognition by participating in the TV show “Family in a jar”, but to Latvian pop music listeners this family union is more widely known as Loreta and Lūsis. Participating in the song survey “Latvijas Sirdsdziesma” has already become an annual tradition for them, and Livčas hopes that the path of this song will also lead to the hearts of the listeners. In the videos of the family couple’s songs, it is common to see the children of the two musicians, Adrian, Reginald and Lorenz – in the video version of the new song, you can see how the Livči boys have grown up.
“In life, we often don’t appreciate what we have,” says soloist Loretta, talking about the new song.
“Because of the work routine, we often forget about the joy of life. This song encourages you to reawaken the naivety, joy and love of your childhood. Because happiness is only in our own hands – it is our actions and truth. And it’s never too late to start living, because fear is like a compass – even if it seems to be pointing the wrong way.”
The music and words of the song “Soon the light will burn” are written by Anatolij Livča, while the arrangement was created and the piece was recorded in the studio by Gints Stankevičs.

So, gather ’round, folks, because the Livči family is bringing the sunshine with their latest musical offering, “Drīz gaismīnas degs”. Now, if this title doesn’t roll off the tongue like a Latvian enigma, I don’t know what does! It’s a blend of life, joy, and a sprinkling of family band drama — perfect for an evening of minimalist entertainment and epic sing-along!
This year’s pop piano virtuoso, none other than Anatolijs Livča brought together with the master of aesthetics, Loreta Macijevska-Livča, firmly stamped their names on the radar thanks to the sensationally quirky TV show “Family in a Jar”. Now, if you think that ‘family in a jar’ is just the latest culinary trend, you’re right; it’s just not the delicious kind. But I digress! This duo is known to many as Loreta and Lūsis, and if you’ve attended any of their performances, you’ll know they’re as entertaining as a room full of hyperactive toddlers, armed with sugar and no bedtime.
These musical mavens have made their mark in the annual “Latvijas Sirdsdziesma”, a karaoke competition for the creatively spirited and perhaps a tad competitive. Who wouldn’t want their catchy tunes to find a place in your heart? It’s like a family reunion but without the awkward conversations about your job. Even the boys, Adrian, Reginald, and Lorenz, make an appearance in their latest music video, proving that talent does run in the family – or at least a penchant for the spotlight and some very catchy dance moves!
“In life, we often don’t appreciate what we have,” muses Loretta, the soloist, channeling her inner philosopher.
“Because of the work routine, we often forget about the joy of life. This song encourages you to reawaken the naivety, joy and love of your childhood. Because happiness is only in our own hands – it is our actions and truth. And it’s never too late to start living, because fear is like a compass – even if it seems to be pointing the wrong way.”
Now, let me just say, Loretta hit the nail on the head here. If only fear could coordinate itself with a good Wi-Fi connection, we’d be set! But that’s the beauty of their latest single – it’s a gentle reminder to let loose and find joy. After all, who wouldn’t want a tune to coax them out of the adulting trenches? Written by Anatolij Livča himself, with a little assistance from Gints Stankevičs in the studio, “Soon the light will burn” promises to be the sunny anthem you didn’t know you needed.
So, grab your family, squeeze them tight and join the Livči crew on this extraordinary musical journey. Because in a world where adulting can feel like a series of meetings that could have been emails, we all need a little melody and a family that knows how to keep us entertained.
