From the Grammy Awards:
“The war. What is
more opposite of music? The silence of ruined cities and killed people. Our
children draw swooping rockets, not shooting stars. Over 400 children have been
injured and 153 children died, and we will never see them drawing. Our parents
are happy to wake up in the morning in bomb shelters, but alive. Our loved ones
don’t know if we will be together again. The war doesn’t let us choose who
survives and who stays in eternal silence. Our musicians wear body armor
instead of tuxedos. They sing to the wounded in hospitals. Even to those who
can’t hear them. But the music will break through anyway. We defend our
freedom. To live. To love. To sound. On our land, we are fighting Russia which
brings horrible silence with its bombs. Fill the silence with your music. Fill
it today. Tell our story. Tell the truth about the war on your social networks
and TV. But not silence.”
