Andriy by David Husted Music published on 2022-04-29T20:31:06Z 15-year-old Andriy recounts to CNN's John Berman the moment his family was forced from their home at gunpoint in Chernihiv, Ukraine, and the attack that claimed his mother's life. V1 right It ain't right It ain't right It ain't right When fifteen year old ripped from his life When his towns on fire and his mother just died It ain't right It ain't right you see It's strange That just a week before Andriy was playing guitar with family dark night Dark night He just want play his guitar now And get through this dark night Ch And he just wanna go home And he just wanna go home And rebuild a city {post ch} V3 He's the same age as my son to see what he has been through. it is just, heart breaking He said I was supposed to be playing with my band at a concert… instead I am here. heart breaking heart breaking And I wanna go home And I wanna go home {instr} Ch And he just wanna go home And he just wanna go home And rebuild a city Bridge And want you to know that my mother was a beautiful woman And want you to know that my mother was a beautiful friend Ch And I wanna go home And I wanna go home Heart breaking Outro And I wanna go home And I wanna go home Heart breaking And I wanna go home And I wanna go home Watch the music video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ELX1Rf6t4cM The situation in Ukraine is heartbreaking and incomprehensible……it ain't right. I saw one specific example (of many) in a news article that really got to me about the effects of this senseless war on ordinary people. People just trying to live their ordinary human lives in peace, coming from towns probably similar to the one you or I may have grown up in. Instead, they are ripped from this existence because a psychopath decides he needs to acquire a new piece of dirt and a bigger crown. He will level cities and mow down innocent people to get it. I recently watched a news feature covering a shell shocked 15 year old boy who had lost his mother in an awful attack. He was still obviously stunned and coping. Towards the end of the interview it became clear that one of his coping mechanisms was just wanting to play his guitar for awhile to get through the dark nights ahead….to hold on to a strand of something normal. This hit me quite hard as it is probably a characteristic I too would have fallen back on as coping mechanism (a keyboard in my case) The other powerful thing that came through was his un-questioned determination to still go back and rebuild the city one day. This seemed to be just a given. This was going to happen. This steadfast resolve and heroism in the Ukrainian people in general is moving and inspiring and probably has a lot to do with what they went through and achieved in the 2013/2014 timeframe when they ousted a Putin placed dictator the first time. The Netflix documentary called Winter on Fire captures this struggle for independence very well. They will not give up this hard won independence easily. This all influenced my latest song creation. Thank You for your courage Andriy and I wish you strength, resilience and resolve to keep moving forward. This song is dedicated to you and your family.
