Pink Floyd’s brand new song

Pink Floyd (Dave Gilmour and Nick Mason) with their bassist Guy Prat debuted a new song today. The singer is a Ukrainian from the band Boom Box collaborated with Pink Floyd to honor those lost in this senseless war. The lyrics are in Russian and it is a great tribute to the Ukrainian people.  The name of the song is, “Hey, Hey Rise Up”

David's daughter-in-law is Ukrainian so he obviously is very vested in this. However, he has been vested in a lot of philanthropic ventures and has an incredibly compassionate heart. Great to see some musicians putting their skills to work for the good of mankind.

What roxy54 said... Look, Gilmour is a great guy, no phony. He took care of Syd for years, no publicity. That being said, this war is ripe for celebrity feel goodness, regardless of real spiritual character. IMO, Dave is 100 percent fine here...Rock On.

Great initiative but should not be sung in Russian.

Whilst it is true many Ukrainians speak the language, in current circumstances there can be no employment of anything Russian.
