The band's first new material in 28 years was inspired by David Gilmour's "anger" over the war.

It helps to create a discontent in that country which will hopefully, at some point, create some sort of change of regime." Work on the song began a couple of weeks ago, when Gilmour was shown Khlyvnyuk's Instagram feed. "So he's right there on the front line. Gilmour said he found the "powerlessness of the West" in the face of Russian aggression "infuriating" but said he supported the ongoing sanctions against the country. But it is also intended as a morale booster for the people of Ukraine, and a call "for peace". Gilmour says the song is a show of "anger at a superpower invading a peaceful nation".

Pink Floyd have reunited for a one-off charity single to raise money for Ukrainians affected by Russia's invasion. “Hey, Hey, Rise Up” features vocals by ...

We want to express our support for Ukraine and in that way, show that most of the world thinks that it is totally wrong for a superpower to invade the independent democratic country that Ukraine has become.” Putin must go.” A week and a half later, he removed his solo albums and the albums Pink Floyd released from 1987 to the present from streaming services in Russia and Belarus. “Then I saw this incredible video on Instagram, where he stands in a square in Kyiv with this beautiful gold-domed church and sings in the silence of a city with no traffic or background noise because of the war. We want to raise funds for humanitarian charities, and raise morale. The group will donate money raised from the song to the Ukraine Humanitarian Relief Fund. David Gilmour was so moved by the performance that he called Nick Mason, bassist Guy Pratt, and keyboardist Nitin Sawhney and organized a recording session last Wednesday that featured video of Khlyvnyuk projected on the wall.

The weapons: Ukraine is making use of weapons such as Javelin antitank missiles and Switchblade “kamikaze” drones, provided by the United States and other allies. “I played him a little bit of the song down the phone line and he gave me his blessing,” Gilmour said. The last independent newsletter in Russia suspended its operations. The result is “Hey Hey Rise Up.” It is the first new original piece of music the band has recorded since the 1994 album “The Division Bell,” and all of its proceeds will go toward humanitarian aid for Ukrainians. The guitarist and vocalist said that he’s known about BoomBox since 2015, when he played with the band in London. Khlyvnyuk was not there because of issues with his visa, Gilmour said, so he and the rest of BoomBox played Pink Floyd’s classic “Wish You Were Here” for Khlyvnyuk. “We want to express our support for Ukraine and, in that way, show that most of the world thinks that it is totally wrong for a superpower to invade the independent democratic country that Ukraine has become,” Pink Floyd guitarist David Gilmour said in a statement Thursday.

Pink Floyd reunites to support Ukraine (NBC News)

Pink Floyd is releasing new music for the first time in 28 years, with proceeds going to humanitarian relief in Ukraine.

"We want to raise funds and morale. But if you can imagine, if those kind of things are going off, it could just as easily have been a piece over an inch across, which would have taken his head off.” "I hope it will receive wide support and publicity," Gilmour said in a statement on Pink Floyd's Instagram account. Khlyvnyuk’s a capella rendition of the song is featured in “Hey Hey Rise Up,” which takes its title from the last lines of the folk song. Gilmour has a personal connection to Ukraine. He has a Ukrainian daughter-in-law, and his grandchildren are half-Ukrainian. The grandmother of his daughter-in-law, who is Ukrainian, was in Kharkiv until three weeks ago, he told The Guardian. “He showed me this tiny quarter-inch piece of shrapnel that had embedded itself in his cheek,” Gilmour told The Guardian. “He’d kept it in a plastic bag.

David Gilmour: Why I'm Bringing Back Pink Floyd After 28 Years (Rolling Stone)

The courage of the people of Ukraine inspired Gilmour and drummer Nick Mason to release their first new song as Pink Floyd since 1994: “We want to spread this ...

You can see and hear the frustration in the leaders of the other world’s countries. You want to keep it in the news and keep people’s consciences active on the topic. The last thing I want to do is to rob the actual population because Russia is not full of terrible people. He loved the track, and I’m just thrilled for him and for us for taking a little step for humanity in the midst of all the inhumanity that’s been going on there. I’m going to let my mind be devoid of everything and just let it steer itself. I took his voice and put it into my recorder and played it back in time with a click track and then played along with it on my guitar. He said, “Could we do this on a FaceTime video call?” So I said, “Sure.” When he recognized me and he was assured that it was all for real, from then on, he was great. We want to spread this message of peace, and we want to raise the morale of the people who are defending their homeland there in Ukraine. So why not? Pink Floyd rushed to release the song quickly to raise awareness for the civilians suffering in Ukraine and to raise money for humanitarian relief in the country. I managed to get his number and I gave him a ring, and I think he was maybe a little suspicious of whether I was genuine or not. At the outbreak of the war, he told Rolling Stone he felt it was his duty to stick up for Ukraine for the sake of the world. That piece of singing immediately got me thinking of turning it into something.” So he sequestered himself in his studio, figured out the chords that would support Khlyvnyuk’s powerful vocals, and wrote what became “Hey, Hey, Rise Up” — the first new Pink Floyd recording in nearly 30 years.
