She would have to get drunk to sing
The eldest daughter of Karel Gott Dominika Gottová returned to Prague after a long time. In addition to visiting Antonia’s mother and meditating at her famous father’s grave, she also had work duties there. Together with his longtime friends, musicians Petr Vojnar a Gabriel Grillottim they christened a CD and a video for the song Pro Tebe, which is Dominica’s inner confession. “It wasn’t out of my head, it wasn’t my idea. “ admits for eXtra.cz Dominika, who met Gabriel at the bar and immediately dropped their notes. And because she talked beautifully about her father Karl, the idea for the song came about. “But I told him I couldn’t sing, I’d have to drink a lot to sing,” the eldest of Gott’s daughters laughs. In the end, however, her Italian friend came up with the concept and invited another Dominic’s good acquaintance from the industry to the project. “Petr Vojnar came up with the idea that this can be done in spoken form, which is sometimes done in chanson. That’s how I used to explain to Peter what I would like to say to my dad if he was still here, and how I actually felt when the song was made. “
Since Dominika is not a lyricist, she begged Peter to give her a very intimate confession some nice form, thus creating a part of her that is not sung but recited. Gabriel took over the sung in the song and was supposed to represent the imaginary comforting voice of Dominic’s late father. “Gabriel sang what my dad would say to me for my confession,” Dominika explains.
She felt lost
One of the verses of the song is: Inside, I’m just like you. In my heart is love and the will to live. It represents Dominic’s belief that everything will turn out well. “The will to live – even though I knew how unhappy I was with my current life, the belief that life would turn in the good again, or even in the great,” explains a smiling brunette.
In addition to feelings of loneliness, Dominika also struggled to find herself under the scrutiny of not only journalists but also her father’s fans. “Unfortunately, that’s the way it is,” Dominika admitted sadly. “During my short stay in Prague, when I lived and worked here, I had no privacy at all. Not at work, or at work, or shopping, or in a taxi, or in a restaurant, actually nowhere. In Helsinki, I’m a private person no one knows. You may be in a bad mood or tired, you don’t want strangers to address you. ” Dominika recalls her feelings of fear of what would happen again, so maybe she called for a little help. “It was actually a call for help and the idea of what my father would say or advise me and what courage he would give me how to deal with negative feelings.” adds. Although she praises her father and remembers only the best, she asked her if she would see her sisters and what she now had with Ivana, who, according to Dominika, no longer wanted to pay her mother to stay in a nursing home, but refused to answer. “I’m not really going to comment on private matters today,” she said kindly but emphatically.
She is happy again
An intimate confession is not only full of love, but also an expression of pain, and Dominika mentions in it that she feels alone and lost, how is the former bartender now? “Not anymore. Not since I was back with my beloved husband in Helsinki since February last year. Everything is as good as it should be again. But at the time when the song was written, which was written long before I moved, at that time I felt very, very bad and lonely in Prague. ”
There were reports that Gabriel Grillotti only wanted to be visible through Dominica, but what was her view? “I’m actually an ordinary citizen, a former waitress and a bartender, and I don’t have any effort to make myself visible either. It was an idea to let the whole world know how I actually felt here and how I remember it. “ explained.
