'Hey Hey Rise Up', released in support of the people of Ukraine, sees David
Gilmour and Nick Mason joined by long time Pink Floyd bass player Guy Pratt
and Nitin Sawhney on keyboards, all accompanying an extraordinary vocal by
Andriy Khlyvnyuk of Ukrainian band Boombox. All proceeds go to Ukrainian
Humanitarian Relief. The track uses Andriy’s vocals taken from his
Instagram post of him in Kyiv’s Sofiyskaya Square singing ‘Oh, The Red
Viburnum In The Meadow’, a rousing Ukrainian folk 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 Gilmour, who has a Ukrainian daughter-in-law and grandchildren
says: “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”.
Speaking about his hopes for the track Gilmour says, “I hope it will
receive wide support and publicity. We want to raise funds and morale. We
want to show 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. The artwork for the
track features a painting of the national flower of Ukraine, the sunflower,
by the Cuban artist, Yosan Leon. The cover of the single is a direct
reference to the woman who was seen around the world giving sunflower seeds
to Russian soldiers and telling them to carry them in their pockets so that
when they die, sunflowers will grow.
