@@onomatopoetisk First version of the song titled "ШУМ" is basically a cover of the old Ukrainian folk song. So they needed to to change it cus its not fully original song and it was longer then 3 minutes. So they made this version for eurovision, still inspired by the same old spring folk song, but with different, original lyrics + some lyrics they borrowed from folk song.
Do you recognise the site where the clip was done ? At Tchernobyl (Tchernobyl is in Ukraine) ! The big building far aways the forest is the sarcophage of the reactor (4:07 and 5:17 of the video).
Actually the song roots back to traditional ritual song which people would sing at the beginning of spring to wake the nature up after winter. And the place of Chernobyl is chosen not occasionally. Chernobyl zone, which had been abandoned for decades, is coming back to life now. Wild nature has taken over. The zone is covered with forests and lots of rare animal species are back there. So it’s an allegory of waking up after a long winter/atomic dream. There are lots of symbols and hints in the clip:)
@@AlexandraRacheva interesting thing perhaps - in recent years scientists have been talking about raising low-THC industrial hemp in the area round Chornobyl as a way to remove radioactive nucleides from the environment. I love how the song is about spring & rebirth of life in the forest, and about sowing hemp, and how they used Chornobyl as the backdrop for their video. :-)
Solovey was a masterpiece, the first 4.20 long version was a masterpiece. Good luck to Ukraine, they are in my Top 3 for 2021 (as I can't vote for my own country and the competition is big this year!). Way better than the overhyped Malta...
Thank you! This is an ancient ukrainian folk song about arrival spring and sun. And Kateryna singing like folk manner. They used folk music instruments - sopilka. Shum - old forest name.
Exactly the same!THis song just screamed to the pagan in me! - Voted for Ukraine. Of course! - love, Sweden Edit:Although i live in germany so my vote wasnt counted with the swedish votes. Sidenote.I love europe! I think we can all agree we love our continent!
The original song is 4:20 long, its a completely different version called " ШУМ" This song needs every single vote to survive semifinal 1 and qualify for the final. Please vote for it! 12 points from Germany
They are fairly new to public, but the band has over 8 years of history. They have specific style, that’s why they were not in mainstream until talking part in Eurovision contest in 2020 and 2021
I think the silver piece on her face resembles the oxygen tube (hello Covid references?) The huge grey building in the frame is the infamous radioactive failed Chernobyl power plant that killed lots of people in 80s The whole theme for the song is the folklore Spring rite awakening.. lovely beat
This is a pure energy from the very old times, before Christianity. In Western Europe this stuf was complitely destoyed by catholic church. That's whay everyone react like this.
Nothing was "dEsTrOyEd" by catholic church, people abandoned paganism by themselves in eastern europe. And ukranians are orthodox, not catholic. Don't be so stupid and educate urself.
THEY ARE AMAZING!!!!! Totally should be a winner of this year’s contest! And they are not new, they are very well established band in Ukraine, and now - the rest of Europe.
They are really a good and interesting group and they are clearly taking a risk by bringing this type of sound which is veeeeerry different than what we are used to. This is a bold move. I really love them and have fallen for them. But I understand that people also can be rebuked by that sound, this is not for beginners!
Yes, they are performing a ritual, song is of native motives, and native songs are going faster and faster and sang while dancing around big campfire. Lyrics are about calling to a forest spirit - Shum ("Noise" - as winter forest is silent, so "noise" is what brings spring), and they are singing about planting seeds and good harvest and asking Shum to bring spring faster. Costumes like that is because this spirit was believed mostly in Polissya - where Chernobyl is, and it is 35 years after Chernobyl catastrophe this year.
I had never heard a song like that! it is captivating, it collects you and takes you to another world, a different dimension. Since I listened to it at the Eurovision contest, I never stop hearing it again and AGAIN....✌
This is cool song , 👍🇺🇦✌️ Shum - is the name of a pagan god, who was meant to awaken spring, and such songs were popularly called vesnianky or spring songs.
For me, definitely a possible winner this year. I love it so much. You should also watch the pre-edited version that last for more than 4 minutes, it's also awesome. 12 points from Belgium :)
Jeeeeez you are the only one reacting appropriately to this astounding song! The sound is so unique and primordial and modern at the same f.. time!!! Congrats Ukraine!!! Greetings from Italy "paka", ciao!

Its like they want to wake up spring to us after that long time wintery quarantine Btw they have and version A of this song...and they created this because they couldnt make the original 3:00 for Eurovision
They mix white voice (slavic style of singing) , slavic/ukrainian folk and electronic music. Solovey song from 2020 on Eurovision got this same mix but it was little slower tempo.
hahaha I'm from Ukraine 🇺🇦 and when I heard this song for first I thought it was sooo weird but then I started listening to it over and over and I couldn't stop, I still can't, help me pls
This took a well-deserved fifth place in the final last weekend. I almost voted for this, it was my absolute favorite until italy came on... I love to see songs utilizing traditional music styles in eurovision.
Together with Shum, the Belgian entry is my fave. Two of the most interesting songs! Derrick please react to Hooverphonic as well (Geike's voice (the singer) is haunting!

@@anjapsag2950 Shortly: "Shum" is "Noise", the song itself has unknown age, can be more than 1000 years easily. The ritual for calling Spring was performed mainly by children, but often adults were joining the dance and singing. When Spring comes the trees start to make Noise (because of the green leaves). It's the time when people can finally enjoy first warm days after long and cold winter. So Noise is basically not a God, but some kind of an allegory. Young girls were going into the forest and collecting young branches from birches, while singing. Then they weaved wreaths from those branches and decorated them with perwinkle flowers (they appear first, even when snow is still there). They played different games, used the wreaths for various things, like foretelling their future love, or making wishes. People said: "Shum now has green coat", so the word "Shum" was also often used to refer to forest. By the way this is why Katerina is wearing that green thingy in the clip. "Shum" is one of numerous ancient ritual songs, they are called "Gaivki" and "Vesnyanki" and people were performing those rituals on "Green Holidays" - when everything becomes green. Not so short in the end, but it's almost nothing compared to what you can find if you go research deeper in this direction. There are 200 000 recorded ukrainian songs and biggest part of them are really ancient and ritualistic. Have a good day!
Hi Derek you're right this song is a masterpiece. A wonderful mix of techno and traditional folk. Also the singing is very special, it has a particular name (I don't remember how it's called)but it's typical in folk music Ukrain. It should have won the competition for sure!
maybe someone`ve already written, "Shum"( reads as shoom) translates usely as "noise", but in this particular case, as a very very very old before christian times ritual song of spring greeting, translates as "forest" p.s. you know, green forest that makes this soft, almost ASMR, sound. Soft NOISE of leaves touched with wind =) from Ukraine with love❤️
It's a techno-folk genre. This song type/tradition is almost a century old, it's a ritualistic song about an ancient pagan deity called Shum. The song is meant to call Shum to bring the Sprig faster and say goodbye to Winter. And the instrument you hear is not a flute but a traditional Ukrainian (or rather old-Slavic) "sopilka". This is one of the most used instruments in Ukrainian traditional songs. She is also singing in a traditional throat singing style. It's a beautiful combination of Ukrainian traditions and modern sound :) P.S.: the meaning of the song is also about season changing. In this context, ending of the pandemic (the Winter) and beginning of new era aka new Spring.
Go-a has actually been around since 2012!! They have a debut album and some singles - if you liked this, also consider reviewing "Solovey"! It's more emotional, but just as good!
That building is the Chernobyl power plant! When one of the reactors exploded in the 80s, they built a sarcophagus to contain the uncontrollable radiation inside the building. They recently had to build the new building you see in the clip over the sarcophagus to prevent leakage since after the years the sarcophagus was getting too risky for such a serious issue.
I’ve read in youtube comments that the voting of the juries was very political this year, but they did really well in the tele-vote (the people) - I think number two? They were my first choice by far. Absolutely hypnotic, I have listened to this song countless times over the past two days and bought the album it was on so I can know more of their music.

Shum means noise and these chants are part of a ritual to awaken the spring 🌼🌸🌺 after the cold winter ❄️🥶
Shum is the Ukrainian god of the forest, to whom they sang spring songs - "vesnyanki" and called for spring. so writing not noise, but write Shum.
You are both right - shum means a sound and shum(a) in croatian is a forest. I guess called after the god of forest.

Thank🙏 дякую
вокалист имеет одно легкое, после болезни the vocalist has one lung, after an illness
The Chernobyl sarcophagus in the background is something.
Long live Euro-Techno Sounds !
Just wanted to say that your reaction and analyse about this song is very right and very good!!!
The song is totally soaked in Slavic pagan tradition, and it is not just any camp fire, it is a passage to another world :)
You seee.... Kateryna is the SLAYING and true queen that rotterdam needs.... SHE HAS THE EDGE SLAYING PRESENCE.
It IS based on a ritual, I don't remember the details but it's based on a traditional Ucranian song that is supposed to make the winter go away
It's a techno-folk genre. This song type/tradition is almost a century old, it's a ritualistic song about an ancient pagan deity called Shum. The song is meant to call Shum to bring the Sprig faster and say goodbye to Winter.
And the instrument you hear is not a flute but a traditional Ukrainian (or rather old-Slavic) "sopilka". This is one of the most used instruments in Ukrainian traditional songs. She is also singing in a traditional throat singing style. It's a beautiful combination of Ukrainian traditions and modern sound :)
P.S.: the meaning of the song is also about season changing. In this context, ending of the pandemic (the Winter) and beginning of new era aka new Spring.
Дякую! Україна супер!💛💙❤
Go-a has actually been around since 2012!! They have a debut album and some singles - if you liked this, also consider reviewing "Solovey"! It's more emotional, but just as good!
That building is the Chernobyl power plant! When one of the reactors exploded in the 80s, they built a sarcophagus to contain the uncontrollable radiation inside the building. They recently had to build the new building you see in the clip over the sarcophagus to prevent leakage since after the years the sarcophagus was getting too risky for such a serious issue.
Yes he goes "bananas" .... there's no doubt 🤫😂
Go A💝💝💝💝💝💝BRAVO!!!!!!!

I’ve read in youtube comments that the voting of the juries was very political this year, but they did really well in the tele-vote (the people) - I think number two? They were my first choice by far. Absolutely hypnotic, I have listened to this song countless times over the past two days and bought the album it was on so I can know more of their music.
@@a.student4215 that's the pojnt. exactly. greece & cyprus voted for each other...same procdure as every year. ( candinavians the same.
Це закличка, народна пісня якій 1000 років
