I heared this song many times, in different occasions and states of soul. And each time, I discovered new nuances, sparkles defining it.
Propaganda ? Indeed and, in the context of Russian intervention, not so surprising.
Eulogy for mother ? Absolutelly ! And this fact is one of essential virtues of it.
Way to use a tragedy for seduce the attention of public and critics ? No doubts !
But the use of folklore, the images, the message of son to his mother, the veil of lullaby , all is smart crafted, detail by detail.
It is more than a simple song for Eurovision but a courageous self definition of Ukraine across the time. And it just works in surprising good way.
