A privilege to join Antytila at Electric Brixton last night to perform “Mothers Of The Disappeared”.
These musicians – Taras, Dmytros, Sherhi, Dmytros, Mykhailo… The people of Ukraine, don’t want to be at war
They want peace, but not without freedom
Never pick a fight with someone who’s ready to lose everything
This war is much more than territory. More than sovereignty. It’s about dignity and decency confronting domination and darkness.
This song is for the mothers of Ukraine, and so many, who have lost so much.
Don’t give up, don’t give up.
Slava Ukraini
Midnight, our sons and daughters
Were cut down and taken from us.
Hear their heartbeat
We hear their heartbeat.
In the wind we hear their laughter
In the rain we see their tears.
Hear their heartbeat, we hear their heartbeat.
Night hangs like a prisoner
Stretched over black and blue.
Hear their heartbeats
We hear their heartbeats.
In the trees our sons stand naked
Through the walls our daughter cry
See their tears in the rainfall.
