On July 12, against the backdrop of the news and events of the second day of the NATO summit in Vilnius, a heavily emotional and disturbing video titled Heroes Die was released in Ukraine.
The song and the video are addressed to both Ukrainians and foreigners (subtitled in 21 languages of the world). The point of this work is to remind of the huge price that the Ukrainian people, the Ukrainian nation, pay for the freedom and the right to live on their own land, for the values of freedom and democracy that Europe professes. As discussions are ongoing on the sidelines of the summit as to when the training of Ukrainian pilots can start, whether F-16 fighters can be given in six months or in a year, when and how quickly or slowly to supply weapons, whether to accept Ukraine into NATO or give some security guarantees after the war, Ukrainians are giving their most valuable right now. They are giving their lives, which cannot be reclaimed, or restored in a year or later, when there is a political will of the Alliance.
The song also appeals to the domestic audience. In Ukraine, everyone knows the slogan “Heroes never die”, which means that heroes live on forever in the memory of the people. However, these words are starting to lose their meaning through every-day wear, gradually degenerating into a formality, thus making the society careless.
Therefore, a volunteer and veteran of the Russo-Ukrainian war, singer Anastasia Shevchenko (known by her stage name Stasik), who is now taking an active part in the resistance to Russian aggression, recorded a new song Heroes Die dedicated to all the fallen heroes, known and unknown, as well as their loved ones.
Heroes always live in our hearts and thoughts, but they, unfortunately, do die leaving behind a gaping void in the souls of those to whom they were really dear. And this is the ultimate sacrifice, as they give their lives so that Ukrainians can live free and build their own country.
The lyrics of the song were written by the poet Sasha Kladbische, also known for the song On Your Side.
Anastasia’s previous song, Lullaby for an Enemy, was addressed to Russian invaders who came to the Ukrainian soil.
