Ukrainian folktrance is amazing

[@TheVolterra13]

Fun fact: this song was written originally purely for live concerts so they could have a rave with the public recreating ethnic dance ritual. You can check out original version on their channel (it's 4 min long and has completely different lyrics). Shum is a forest god btw in our mythology and the song is basically a call for a spring to come. There're lots of interesting aspects about it, but that just the gist of it.

[@d1sarmon1a]

gurl wait till you see their staging, you're gonna be obsessed

[@carlc2373]

One of the best songs this year.

[@itslikerufus]

and also Solovey and Shum are my favorites last year and this year! they are icons!

[@ятеперСаманта3000]

i like your reactions😇 from Ukraine with love 💖

[@user-ke7gd1ml9k]

👍👍👍🙏🙏🙏🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦❤️🌈

[@yiasminathefangirl]

SHUM truly takes you on a journey, like I didn’t even notice how empty the first half is bc I love the song as a whole I can’t wait to dance when the beat drops during the live performance😆

[@samayat8371]

the ancient pre-Christian rite of awakening the spirit of the forest in the spring. Shum(Noise) is the spirit of the forest. He sleeps in the winter. People sang and danced to make him wake up. I understand this song as the awakening of people after a covid quarantine. They wake up Noise (nature) and with its help they try to drive away the covid

[@natastudyN]

I love how meaningful and deep the video is ,in addition to featuring a great song. Shum is an ancient Ukrainian dance ritual performed to awaken spring. Pandemic and Chernobyl are references of huge problems to overcome and there is hope for better tomorrow, when we will celebrate life and renewal. There is one more reason for showing the Chernobyl Dome in the video ( 4:28 ): the original folk song "Shum" (which was the inspiration) was recorded in Chernobyl region. Initially, Go_A's first video was not for Eurovision but a part of a music project, which they started to remind about a big piece of folk culture from Chernobyl region lost because people from the contaminated region were evacuated and resettled elsewhere. Everything in the video has meanings. And the falcon- is the symbol of the Holy Spirit and Ukraine 's saint patron: descending falcon in stylized graphic version is in Ukraine's coat of arms, intertwined with letters ВолЯ ( which means "freedom" and "will").

Love Ukraine

[@user-qf2oz5lz1t]

ДЯКУЄМО!!!

[@kennapertin1184]

To comment on the chorus thing. Since it is very heavily folk inspired, there is a lack of a chorus since traditional folk music doesn't have the same structure of a pop song with a verse-chorus-verse-chorus-bridge-chorus. To add to it, this type of music is most chorus only so there will be lots of criticism calling it "repetitive".

[@SimonSarka1]

Girl! I stand by you! Go_A’s so awesome!

[@rodich75]

Thank you for your wonderful reaction and analysis! Respect from Ukraine! )

[@youssef7612]

I love thisss...gurll when that last chorus hits babyyy✨💃💃

[@catnap387]

They manage to do something different each time. It is catchy and offers so much more than the run-of-the-mill songs that you usually get

[@jackd3493]

This song is sooooo good. I love techno and any Eurovision entry with folkloric elements to it. This is the best Eurovision song since horehronie from Slovakia 2010

[@user-mv7mj4nd2i]

THX from Ukraine!)))

[@larysacherner312]

Maxxy, thanks a lot for a reaction! I think the song will grow on you, and after you see the stage performance I believe you will like it too and know your initial prediction was not baseless as they already after the 1 rehearsal won the press review in Rotterdam. The song is based on one of our oldest pre-Christian pieces of folklore (a song and dance ritual dedicated to a god of forest Shum who is asleep in winter and who needs to be awakened to bring life back to the world). I guess it looks and sounds dark to you because they made it fitting the meaning of it as when it was created people were not sure spring would come, coming back to normal life after long winter was not a certainty and you needed to throw all your combined effort into the rutual, sing and dance and please the god. This is Shum 2, written specifically for the ESC (you can find the first one called Go_A - Шум on youtube, Kateryna's stage outfit will reflect the authentic lyrics of the song - "our Shum has a green coat", meaning leaves). Shum is a god of forest, the forest itself and in the modern Ukrainian it means "noise", hence you will see a play on words in the lyrics of Shum. They combined the metaphoric long covid miserable winter, effort to awaken the world and spring coming finally. There's also a reference to Chornobyl in the video as another global challenge that hit us 35 years ago and which we managed to survive. It's all good vibes, I promise, they didn't intend to give any negativity, they are workig to heal our broken world so to speak. The video has English subs with a decent translation of Kateryna's lyrics styled as the original ritual song. Thanks a lot for your support again, I'm sending good vibes! 💙💛

[@itslikerufus]

honestly they are so brilliant

[@larysacherner312]

@@itslikerufus They are indeed. I hope Europe supports them properly 🤞

[@tanyavol2641]

Дякую за реакцию!) Привіт Вам з України👋🇺🇦💛💙

[@denisokorokov1489]

Ukraine my top 3 this year

[@fioletowykwiatek]

I found it funny that you have a similar outfit to Kateryna at her rehearsal :D

[@itslikerufus]

So happy to see you back and with what a look 😍🔥

[@oyunaskieurovision]

Ukraine beat betting odds after first rehearsal. I'm curious about full performance 💥

[@user-ke7gd1ml9k]

👍👍👍👍👍🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🙏

[@mesofius]

[@aidan564]

I love this so much and I like it a lot more than Solovey

[@DRDERU]

A chernobyl bop right there.

[@annakomzyuk5898]

Your today's outfit is similar to what lead singer had in her rehersal. You should check it as well)

[@marychas8862]

BIG HUGS FROM UKRAINE💙💛😇

[@dmitriysvyatoves5635]

Дякую вам за реакцію

[@user-nb7cc9qj9k]

It's Ukrainian folk. We got a spring. My grandma song for my autenic music. Sorrry. My English not so good. But, it"s wonderful thing.

[@oksanaanatienko1887]

It's a rave style, I guess.... my people are full of surprises - we don't need validation from anyone, but hang on - it grows on you after the first time...

[@grodfon1673]

My favourites were France, Italy and Ukraine👏👏👏👏👏

[@ronnopotter]

Hey Maxxy, in my opinion this song is way better than the previous year, I think it would grab the attention of the public more easily because is like enchanting... And at the same time sounds modern. What do you think nowadays? Has it grown on you lately or still think last year's was better?

[@alipalmer6221]

This is a new wind for ESC.Nation original traditional song.This is not stanrdart swidish pop .I like Go_A.This is song from ukrainian people soul.

[@user-ke7gd1ml9k]

🙏🙏🙏🙏🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦👍👍👍

[@ImStevan]

The full song in its original is so much begter

[@nataliatymofiichuk9030]

Україна ❤️❤️❤️ 🇺🇦

[@starlight.em18]

Can you react to Croatia? I'd like to see what you have to say about Albina's song.

[@xThatxGuy]

The original version is so better but maybe it's too long for Eurovision entry

[@user-ym9fy1jb1q]

🇺🇦🔥

[@matheusgomes9812]

Girl, I know you love this country, but for some reason I think you have lost your faith. There are ALWAYS room for Ukraine to surprise us, don't forget it.

[@elenaakmayeva]

Щиро дякуэмо за твою реакцiю та вподобання! bedankt voor your reactie. Leren Oerkaine is moeitje waard. Het is authentieke diep cultuur voor en na de Christus. We horen geluiden niet allen bossen maar ook steppen, rivieren en ruimte en potential van Schepper-Creator. Dat is oer-code in en voor elke lichaam en geest! Ukrainse mentale vrolijkheid, true en spiritualiteit. Mystik dimaniek en menselijk tegelijk. Dank you wel . Спасибi тобi, Украiна!

[@lenariuse]

WINER

[@goran77ish]

And why all songs must have same structure? That is what makes loads of modern music boring for me, like I have already heard it million times before. Also, give a son a chance and listen more then 5 seconds then judge. This is my top pick.

[@ivanrudyk3525]

ooffffffff this Deban... what is that?? Does he think someone needs his contemptuous reaction? I am annoyed by this person.

[@fabiodeluca4816]

4:28 I don't know if you have realised, but what you see there is the actual Chernobyl nuclear power plant that caused a disaster in 1986. That curved structure on top of it is the 'new safe confinement' that was built in 2019 en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chernobyl_New_Safe_Confinement
