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.
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" (spoken in ukrainian by Sophie)

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.
Nice song. Very pertinent lyrics. Good message. The mix is well done. You bring instruments into the mix perfectly. I learn a lot from this recording. Thanks.
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!
Hello Misha Thank you for your words I just can't believe that all this is really happening Lost contact with two friends in Kiev I hope they left the city and are safe.... many greetings Andi ;-)
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! marty

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 Andi ;-)
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.

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!
