Pete Sahaidachny (pronounced Sah-high-dotch-knee) doesn’t just write songs; he constructs sonic architecture. As a multi-instrumentalist fluent in piano, guitar, and composition, Sahaidachny operates at the intersection of raw instinct and high-level intellect. His sound is a masterclass in modern tension—think intricate rhythmic layers and “blink-and-you  ‘ll-miss-it” temporal shifts that feel both futuristic and deeply familiar. On June 13th, he dropped his 13-track odyssey, “Sunday Bummer”. It’s an album that demands your full attention and rewards it tenfold. Let’s dive in.

The first song is titled “The Way.” The song opens the album with restraint. The first seconds feel deliberate, almost cautious — a guitar pattern that doesn’t rush, drums that arrive as punctuation rather than propulsion. It sounds like someone standing still before taking a step. This song wrestles with direction — not where you’re going, but how you move through life. The lyrics suggest repetition, second-guessing, and the quiet fear of making the wrong choice. Rather than offering answers, the song accepts uncertainty as part of the journey. There’s space in the arrangement — pauses that feel intentional. The melody circles instead of climbing, reinforcing the idea of searching rather than arriving. Musically, it places you inside a reflective headspace immediately. You’re not being entertained yet — you’re being invited inward.

Next up is “Problems”. This track snaps you awake. The guitar comes in sharper, more confrontational, with a rhythm that feels restless — like pacing a room. The lyrics point outward and inward at the same time. There’s frustration with circumstances, but also self-awareness: the realization that some problems are inherited, while others are self-made. The repeated phrasing feels almost accusatory — toward the world, then toward the self. The song has Tighter drums, heavier guitar, and a vocal delivery that leans into urgency. The chorus feels like pressure being released in bursts. Listeners feel energized but unsettled. It mirrors that feeling of knowing something is wrong but not knowing how to fix it yet.

At number three, the album presents “Unleash the Beast”. This one explodes rather than opens. The first moments feel physical — rhythm and distortion arriving together. The lyrics speak to repression: instincts buried under responsibility, politeness, or fear. “The beast” isn’t violence — it’s truth without apology. The song argues that suppression is more dangerous than expression. Musically, the song had Aggressive riffs and driving percussion that dominate. The vocal phrasing pushes forward, almost chasing the beat. This song is very Cathartic. It permits listeners to feel anger, desire, and intensity without shame.

Up next is “Skeletons.” The energy pulls back. The opening feels heavier, slower — like stepping into a darker room. This song is about memory and consequence. The lyrics imply unresolved past actions, secrets carried forward, and the emotional cost of avoidance. There’s no dramatic confession — just acknowledgment. This song has Lower-register guitars, steadier drums, and melodies that linger rather than strike. The arrangement feels weighted. It creates a quiet ache. Listeners may recognize their own “skeletons” — not as guilt, but as unfinished emotional business.

“Hero” is the song that follows. In the beginning, it is Gentler and warmer. The groove feels relaxed, almost conversational. The song dismantles the idea of the heroic self. The lyrics suggest fatigue with expectations — being strong, being dependable, being more than human. There’s honesty in admitting limitations. It has Smoother textures, softer dynamics, and a melody that leans into vulnerability rather than power. This song is very Comforting. It reassures listeners that not being a hero doesn’t make you a failure.

Up next is “Information Overload. The song opens in a Fast and immediate way. There’s no easing in — sounds stack quickly, almost chaotically. The lyrics reflect mental saturation — too many voices, opinions, notifications, and demands. Thought becomes fragmented. Meaning gets buried under noise. It has Rapid rhythms, dense layering, and minimal breathing room. The song itself feels overloaded. The song is Overstimulating by design. It mirrors modern anxiety so accurately that it can feel uncomfortably familiar.

Up next is the beautiful “Reel Me Back In”. In this song, the tension dissolves. The opening is softer, grounded, almost intimate. This is a plea for grounding — asking someone (or something) to pull you back from detachment or emotional drift. The lyrics emphasize trust and vulnerability rather than control. Musically, Warm bass, restrained percussion, and melodic lines that feel like gentle tugs rather than force. This song is emotionally anchoring. It can make listeners feel less alone in moments of disconnection.

“Loop Sequence” is the next song on the album. The song starts in an Instrumental and cyclical way. The opening pattern repeats with subtle variations. Without lyrics, the theme emerges through repetition. It reflects habits, thought loops, and emotional cycles — the way we revisit the same feelings again and again. The song features Layered motifs that evolve slowly. Each repetition adds or subtracts texture. The song is Meditative. It gives the listener space to process everything that came before.

The ninth song on the record is “Palace in the Sky”. The intro of this song is Airy and expansive. The guitar tones feel lighter, almost floating. The lyrics suggest escapism, but not fantasy — imagination as survival. The “palace” isn’t denial; it’s a self-created refuge when reality feels heavy. The song has Open chords, atmospheric effects, and melodies that rise instead of press. The song is very Hopeful. It offers emotional elevation without pretending pain doesn’t exist.

The tenth song is called “Messages. The intro is Dreamlike and reflective. The intro feels like a memory surfacing. This song explores communication across distance — emotional, temporal, or relational. The lyrics imply things left unsaid, misunderstood, or carried silently. Musically, the song features echoed guitar lines and spacious production, creating a sense of longing. The song is Nostalgic and tender. It can trigger reflection on past relationships and missed connections.

Next is “Help You Through. Unassuming and sincere is how the song starts. Nothing flashy — just presence. The lyrics focus on support rather than solutions. It’s about staying with someone in pain, not fixing them. It has Simple chord progressions and a steady rhythm that reinforces reliability. The song is emotionally reassuring. It feels like being listened to rather than advised.

The second-to-last song is entitled “Voice in Your Heart”. The song opens in a Quiet and inward way. The opening feels almost whispered. This track centers on intuition — the internal voice that gets drowned out by fear or external pressure. The lyrics encourage trust in inner knowing. The song features Soft dynamics, gentle layering, and a restrained melodic arc. The song is Grounding and introspective. It invites stillness rather than reaction.

The last song on the album is called “Groove Process”. The intro of this song is Rhythmic and alive. The Bass and drums take the lead immediately. The final song reframes life as motion rather than destination. The lyrics suggest healing through movement, acceptance through rhythm. The song has Funk-leaning grooves, playful guitar lines, and a sense of release. The song ends in an Uplifting and embodied way. It ends the album not with answers, but with momentum.
