Of course, I cannot resist sharing with you some music!

Here is Okean Elzy's first  big hit - a very famous video where the guys are in a fridge :) ... and a scene in the Potemkin Stairs in Odessa (in echo to Eisenstein's film "The Battleship Potemkin"):

Там, де нас нема - Tam, de nas nema

Each time I'm listening to this song, I have the feeling that Vakarchuk is "lending me the sun" - Позич мені сонце... What a brightful energy!

Позич мені сонце - Pozych meni sontse

And I cannot stop crying on Ти забула давно - "You've long ago forgotten". This song moves me so deeply!

Ти забула давно - Ty zabula davno - 2002

You can listen to songs "Голос твій – Holos tviy" & "Long Time Ago" here.
