These moments are very important,&#8221; he adds. <\/p>\n<p>A few years ago, the group was shocked by unexpected news &#8211; the loss of their stage colleague, D. \u010ci\u017eauskas. Shortly afterwards, the band member D. Balvo\u010dius returned to the stage. Donatas says that the events kind of ushered him into a new phase:  <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We shut ourselves in the recording studio, turned on the speakers and microphones and just did all the songs we had to do in the arena. I noticed how genuinely my stage partner Karolis was listening to me, which was the most impressive and reassuring thing for me &#8211; the band will be fine. Our sincere commitment to continue the band together was soon felt by the whole audience. It was the beginning of a new phase,&#8221; recalls Donatas.   <\/p>\n<p>Talking about the best of times, Karolis emphasises not only his time on stage, but also his family&#8217;s contribution to who he is today:<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;If it weren&#8217;t for my family, maybe I wouldn&#8217;t be such a strong person, not only in this world, but also on stage. Just like in a family, on stage you have to feel a great responsibility and the best time is after the concerts, when the fans come up and are happy that we&#8217;re the only ones who come up to them and hug them. And this is true whether it is a restaurant or an arena&#8221;, says Akulavi\u010dius about the strong connection with his fans.  <\/p>\n<p>Grup\u0117 2 &#8211; Karolis and Donatas &#8211; well-known performers and songwriters Karolis Akulavi\u010dius and Donatas Balvo\u010dius share a happy news &#8211; they will invite their fans and friends to three arenas &#8211; Klaip\u0117da&#8217;s \u0160vyturys, \u0160iauliai&#8217;s \u0160vyturys, and Kaunas \u017dalgiris arenas &#8211; in December this year.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;For the Time&#8221;, &#8220;It&#8217;s Hard to Be Apart&#8221;, &#8220;1000 Years&#8221;, &#8220;Memories&#8221;, &#8220;Every Evening&#8221;, &#8220;You Sit Next to Me&#8221;, &#8220;Well, How Are You Now?&#8221;, &#8220;From My Heart&#8221;, &#8220;How Much&#8230;&#8221;, &#8220;I Don&#8217;t Matter&#8221;, &#8220;A Nightingale&#8217;s Dream&#8221;, &#8220;Are You Willing to Love?&#8221; &#8211; This is by no means the full list of time-tested songs that listeners love. Songs that make you want to hum, dance and sing along.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Last year we did a tour in Lithuania &#8211; all the tickets were sold out, 20 thousand people attended the concerts, so we realised that the fans simply won&#8217;t fit in the small spaces&#8221;, &#8211; the band members share. <\/p>\n<p>Concert tour &#8220;For the Time Being&#8221; &#8211; 20 December Klaip\u0117da \u0160vyturys Arena. <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We come to celebrate time together, music, life. We are really preparing for it, it&#8217;s going to be unreal. We believe in what we are doing, we want to celebrate unforgettably&#8221;, says Akulavi\u010dius.  <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The thing I look forward to the most at concerts is the whole of the Samogitian <em>choir<\/em>&#8220;, D.
