Pink Floyd Rise Up

2022-04-08 by Fernando Alves STAFF | 59 Comments
Mythical British band Pink Floyd recorded a new song on March 30th, entitled 'Hey, Hey, Rise Up', to support Ukraine, which is currently being invaded by Russia. The song features samples from Andriy Khlyvnyuk, a Ukrainian soldier and member of the band Boombox, being the band's first original work since 1994's The Division Bell.



All proceeds will go to Ukraine Humanitarian Relief.

David Gilmour and Nick Mason were joined by long time Pink Floyd bass player Guy Pratt and Nitin Sawhney on keyboards.

The track uses Andriy's vocals taken from his Instagram post of him in Kyiv's Sofiyskaya Square singing 'The Red Viburnum In The Meadow', a rousing Ukrainian protest song written during the first world war. The title of the Pink Floyd track is taken from the last line of the song which translates as 'Hey, hey, rise up and rejoice'. The song's opening choral parts are by Ukrainian VERYOVKA Folk Song and Dance Ensemble.

Oyu luzi chervona kalyna pokhylylasya,
Chohos' nasha slavna Ukrayina zazhurylasya.
A my tuyu chervonu kalynu pidiymemo,
A my nashu slavnu Ukrayinu, hey-hey, rozveselymo!


David Gilmour, who has a Ukrainian daughter-in-law and grandchildren, states:

We, like so many, have been feeling the fury and the frustration of this vile act of an independent, peaceful democratic country being invaded and having its people murdered by one of the world's major powers.

I hope it will receive wide support and publicity. We want to raise funds for humanitarian charities, and raise morale. We want express our support for Ukraine and in that way, show that most of the world thinks that it is totally wrong for a superpower to invade the independent democratic country that Ukraine has become.

OF COURSE ROGER WATERS WASN'T INVOLVED. Roger became pro-communist in the last years and it would be nonsensical to take part of this reunion.

Putin is a populist right wing autocrat that supports far left regimes like Cuba and Venezuela for strategic convenience rather than ideological affinities. I thought it was obvious

Pretty much. It's hilarious how the American right cling to this Cold War mentality of Russians are commies etc etc despite literally all evidence to the contrary. Then again a lot of them forget the Yugoslavia doesn't exist anymore either.

"Because in my letter to you I was advocating that your President Zelensky use “Diplomacy” to end this barbaric war. Also, when you say “We will resist until the very end” It sounds like a surrender to the gods of war, it sounds like an abrogation of your right to resist the warmongers in the west, who “with the bravery of being out of range” encourage you to fight to the last Ukrainian life. It sounds like an abandonment of your right to reach out through the smoke and rubble to the thousands of your brothers and sisters in the anti-war movement all over the world, including in Russia, where they are risking their liberty in the cause of peace."

Just in case you weren't aware, Roger Waters thinks the best way to deal with an invasion is to just lay down and die.
