This song is for my many friends in Ukraine and of course for all Ukrainians.
Russia may try to cause suffering and harm to the people of Ukraine.
But their pride and love for their country Russia will NEVER be able to destroy !!!!
I can only hope that this senseless and cowardly war will end soon.
And that the perpetrator will pay his price.
It would be nice if the song gives people a little hope to go through their struggle for their country.

Many Greetings
Andi ;-)


Listen to UKRAINE WILL NEVER HIDE

I see the pictures over and over again
the curse of war lies over the country… it’s a shame

the smoke of death now blows through the streets
the people stand together and fight - no retreat

is it not insane ?
that one man brings them so much pain ?

I stand by the side with ukraine
and I hope that the good wins the fight again
to be attacked without reason
and now in the fight
this will never be forgiven
ukraine will never hide

oh no, oh no, oh no no no, oh no

people who are friendly and so nice
live now in fear and terror…one man will pay the price

i pray for all the victims in this war
and they will never never forget - nevermore !!!

"No war - we want peace on earth"

Andi,
Passionate and timely written song. Good vocals and mix.
This whole thing is like a really bad dream. I have friends who were born in Ukraine and still have many relatives all across Ukraine. Stories they share are heart wrenching. I hope this craziness will stop as soon as possible. Thank you for sharing.

Misha.

Timely writing. I found the guitar solo really nice, and that child's voice at the end is a great touch.

Andi,

Great passion in this. Important message.

Passionate vocals. There are times that, with the piano style and your vocal, it seems you are channeling John Lennon. (that seems appropriate).

A very solid mix.

W's guitar is excellent.

Let's hope the madman (and his "friends" - wherever they appear across the globe) are stopped SOON.

Well done.

Hi Andi,

I've been following what's happening in the Ukraine and I'm full of admiration for the Ukranians and how they are standing up to the madness that Putin unleashed. Hopefully, the pain will end soon. I hope your friends are doing okay given the situation.

This is a very passionate presentation. Your lyrics hit home!

Excellent stuff!
Noel

Hi, Andi.

Solid work - vocals are effective, and nice guitar solo.

Vocal control, you say. Never heard of it. Is that some kind of ProTools thing?

Outstanding, Andi. I've been thinking of you and Misha a lot lately. What a wonderful song, what passion. I really like Wolfgang's guitar. Your brother obviously shares your passion, and we ALL share your hope. Man, I love this song but surely hate the reason it was written.

P.S. Did ya hear what Floyd said? See? John Lennon is in there.


Enjoy whatever happens!

This starts out like mid 70s Scorpions.
I think you could tweak a line so that it 'reads' more accurately in English.
"I stand by the side with Ukraine"
Would, probably be
"I stand, side by side, with Ukraine"
or
"I stand on the side of Ukraine"
or
"I stand by the side of Ukraine".

Def. a classic 70s rock, stadium vibe.

Hi Brad
Thanks for your great feedback
Little Sophie is eager to visit grandma, grandpa and all relatives in Ukraine again....
Her statement at the end will probably remain only a wish - Unfortunately...
Many greetings

This is a powerful performance by you and your brother.

The arrangement with its passion is creatively juxtaposed with the child at the end.

The message is one we hope is shared by many, many millions around the planet.

Very, very well done.

Hello Andi,

I can't agree more with you and the way you expressed your horror on this terrible horror Ukrain had to face!
What a sad thing Ukrain rhymes on pain. Their history is written in rivers of blood, but what happens now is such a bad thing for modern humanity. How I wish that Russian dwarf to loose that war and hopefully more!
And the connexion I see with China makes me worry a lot for our future...

But besides that, I think you made an impressive song with very good lyrics. The leadguitar also has a nice role in it. Very well done, althought I recommend you to listen to uncle Ray too.

And while writing this comment your song and vocals still resonate in my head.
Very good, Andi!

Hans

Who can explain war?
Who can understand why?
Who can comprehend the pain and suffering?



You did a good job of bringing focus the this terrible situation.
