about

All profits of the song will go to Save the children charity to help the children victims of the war in Ukraine.

Kyiv in my heart started as an idea at 3am one night a few weeks ago. After several sleepless nights of writing this powerful anti-war anthem about the war in Ukraine, I thought that it would be great to get a choir to sing my vocal arrangements. I contacted 15 singers to come and record on the song. The result is beautiful, grand and powerful.

Kyiv in my heart is not only a song, it’s a special collaboration with 16 Ukrainian visual artists who kindly agreed to participate in this project. Most of them living around Kyiv and Lviv, have continued making art and still do intensely since the war started. Their work will be featured in the video as a tribute to them, their family and friends, their country and all the victims of this war. It’s emotional, strong and brave like they are. This is an important piece of work that I felt I needed to do.

lyrics

We're chasing a dream
As we walk on a thin line
Don't know what awaits
On the other side.
You've taken my home
The road is so uncertain
I hold on to you
My yellow and blue

Kyiv in my heart
Kyiv in my heart
This song is for you.
You're a super star

Traces of blood
In the eyes of the burning sun
She watches the wind
Blowing the tears
Looking for the light
In the darkest tunnels
I hold on to you
My yellow and blue

Kyiv in my heart
Kyiv in our hearts
This song is for you
In our hearts
We stand
We stand with you.
