Heads! Kalush in a duet with a famous rasmus gave out a stylish clip about war in Ukraine
Before that, this track 2step was released together by our rock band "Antibodies" and the famous British singer Ed Shiran, as well as the composition of Hey Hey Rise Up, recorded guelder rose". The idea of working together Kalush Orchestra and The Rasmus originated in them as they participate in the Eurovision-2022 International Song Contest. The Ukrainians met Finns at the competition.
The Finnish rockers then emotionally expressed support for our musicians, showing complete solidarity with Ukraine against a full -scale invasion of the Russian Armed Forces. Ukrainians and Finns gave a joint street concert in Turin, where Eurovision took place, and, as the musicians of both teams mention, magic emerged. 28-year-old Oleg Psyuk then said: "All Ukrainians of my age and a little older remember the track The Rasmus" in the Shadows ". I was 17 when I first heard it and turned on it.
Not only I will meet the rasmus personally, but also work on a new version of this cult song. " Kalush Orchestra turned to the Finnish rock stars with the idea of Mashap-version ("Mashap", from the English. Mash-up-"mix compositions") from the following tracks: Stefania, The Shadows, Jezebel. "Playing the flute in combination with bitbox caused my skin ants. We all inspired to create something new to record," - said the joint work of Gitarist The Rasmus Ero Gininon.
And here the musicians presented a collaboration on a cult track under the new name "In the Shadows of Ukraine". "Combining the legendary rock song with the unique sound of Ukrainian folk, we created" In the Shadows of Ukraine.
"The original phrase from the song:" They say that I have to learn to kill before I can feel safe, but I will kill myself better , than the state of their slave " - show the feelings of Ukrainians during the war in their country," - commented this work Finns under the clip.
After the famous chorus in English-in the finale, the song was successfully completed by the rap readership of the soloist Kalush Orchestra Oleg Psyuk: "It hurts the heart in our nanny does not cry, our time is already brilliant! Particularly noteworthy is the flute to the clip by the Ukrainian clip -maker Leonid Kolosovsky. He is known for the creation of many iconic clips, in particular for Potap and Nastya, he removed Bumdiggibai, and for the duo "Time and Glass" - "Name 505".
The clip for the last song is one of the most correct Ukrainian music videos: it was the first to overcome the products of 200 million views among domestic stars. To date, 261 million people watched him. Kolosovsky made a conceptual black and white clip. Two musical bands play in a modern concrete room. After the panoramas of Ukraine, there are different national images, but the central - the girl in folk clothing - in a wreath and embroidery that embodies Ukraine.
Then we see it in the ray of light, and from the darkness there are dozens of black hands of the invaders-Orki-on the faces of the maniac masks on them. The clip is interesting to alternate strips of darkness and light. In one of the sheaves of the rays there is a soldier of the Armed Forces, then a Cossack with a saber and a warrior of the UPA. A girl in a long embroidery with horror crawls in a strip of light even further from black enemy hands.
But here the Cossack gives her a saber from her hands. On the wall we see shadows-silhouettes: the girl stops retreating, rushes forward, waving a saber-the head of the orka flies away. The director of the development of the Russian-Ukrainian war decided to imagine in the form of a number of metaphorical characters. In the finale of the clip, the girl-Ukraine lifts a shameful saber, and around her, as on the cover of the cult album SGT.
