The composition uses the vocals of Andriy Khlyvnyuk, the leader of the Ukrainian band Boombox, who joined the Kyiv Territorial Defense from the first days of Russian aggression. The title of the single Pink Floyd refers to the lines of the Ukrainian patriotic song «Oh, in the meadow red viburnum».
Gilmour said he spoke with Khlyvniuk on Tuesday.
«He said he had the most hellish day imaginable. I had to go to collect the bodies of Ukrainians, Ukrainian children, to help clear the streets. You know, our little problems become so insignificant and petty in the context of what he has to do,» Gilmour added.
