The well known British rock band Pink Floyd has collaborated with Ukrainian singer Andriy Khlyvnyuk, on their new song Hey Hey Rise Up. This the first songs which the band has produced since their split in 1985. Moreover, the proceeds from the song are going to the Ukrainian humanitarian relief.
In my opinion, it was a high time for musicians to take a stand for the Ukrainian cause. They can reach people through artistry like no other news outlet. Helping those who need help and collaborating with the person who had the first hand experience of the tragedy, is so powerful and pivotal at times like this. I believe that music can express so much more than words, especially through lyrics and melody. Pink Floyd should be taken as an example for others’ musicians, especially those in America, which haven’t done anything „special” involving Ukraine cause.
