This is a remake of a song from Ed's latest album, in which Taras Topolya sings in Ukrainian.

Official music video released on the band's YouTube channel. The video features stunning wartime footage and a touching personal story of Taras Topoli.

So, the star tells how the war began for his family. And this is not only his personal story, it is the story of millions of Ukrainians whose families were separated by terrible bombings and war..

" Millions of people, not only in words, but by concrete actions, show how it is to truly stand up for their principles, democracy and freedom and lend their shoulder to those who really need it.. It would seem just a common song, but how symbolic it is,"

The musician said that it was quite difficult to write and record Ukrainian words in Ed's song in the circumstances in which the band members were. He said that the recording studio, where the group usually recorded their songs, was under the occupation of Russian soldiers.. However, thanks to a friend and co-author, arranger of many songs - Maxim Sivolap - the musicians coped with their part.

The shooting of the video, the idea of \u200b\u200bwhich belongs to Taras Topol, took place in Irpen, Kyiv, and also in the Kharkiv region. The musicians arrived there as part of the 130th Territorial Defense Battalion, to strengthen the eastern grouping of the ground forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

"

The video was directed and produced by a friend of Dmitry Manifest - Dmitry Shmurak. He and his team implemented everything they planned in an incredibly short time, realizing that the Antibody group would not be able to fully join the shooting.

" It was thanks to our friendship with the Manifesto that it became clear to me that there was no point in doing something with half strength.. When Antibodies asked me to support and actually produce and shoot a video clip myself, I immediately agreed, although I understood that this was a very difficult task.. The team and I tried to do everything possible to make the work a success.. If Dima were alive, he would definitely be with us on the set. I want to tell the guys only one thing - come back alive! "

All proceeds from the monetization of YouTube videos, as well as royalties, will go to the charity of the Music Saves UA project, a project of the All-Ukrainian Association of Musical Events.

Fans were stunned by the duo. They wrote about it in the comments:.

What are you doing - crying almost from the beginning of the song Very strong video and excellent track God, tears in my eyes... How good it is! Thanks for this masterpiece! She survived everything again, as on that day. Recall that the Antibody group joined the ranks of the Territorial Defense on the eve of the war. From the first day of the full-scale invasion of the Russian Federation, the band members changed musical instruments for weapons and went to defend the territorial integrity and independence of Ukraine. Currently, the musicians, together with the battalion, are in the Kharkov region.
