*WHAT DO YOU THINK OF UKRAINE'S ENTRY FOR EUROVISION 2022?* 🇺🇦
The song is not only about Ukraine, it's about humanity, a call to remember own culture and not turn into a faceless mediocre product of globalization. Every famous name mentioned in the "rapping" part brings its own deep message. "One for all and all for one" by Dumas is a very timely call for national unity in face of the threat of ruSSia's full-scale war, as well as the need for Picasso's peace dove. The reference to Dante, who wrote "Divine comedy" about the afterlife soul's journey but nowadays could be writing "Divine tragedy", refers to the current imminent danger of sending humankind to the afterlife. Shakespeare is the master of drama bringing up existential questions including the most famous one "To be or not to be". And Alina's call is "To Be!" and to write our OWN history, remembering ancestors, history, and culture, and to leave our own legacy after ourselves, beautiful like fairytales by Grimm brothers. Very clever lines which should speak to all of Europe, but, unfortunately, could be missed by some people. And the sounds at the beginning and the end are bird calls, uniting with Nature, the land. And I love the beautiful message in the visuals of her eyes: it zooms in and in the depth of each eye another eye keeps appearing like eyes of generations of ancestors. We are onions with layers created by ancestors, direct of spiritual, coming from different cultures.

Definite winner vibes for me, and I wouldn't be mad about it in the slightest. Ukraine never disappoints, there's a reason they have the qualification record.
Brilliant, emotional, patriotic song, awesome artist ❤️

Thanks for your reaction 🇺🇦👍🏻
Here are the lyrics:
Trembitas* are crying over my free people, who has been suffering through hardships for centuries. Perun * and Dazhbog* heard tribal prayers. Viche * formed a code of ethnic communities. So that nobility and the wealthy lived well, Cossacks protected the land. My Fatherland, a young girl, will grow like golden wheat!
Hey, destiny, come out of the water! Save my heart from misfortune! Come out from the water, destiny! All my sisters, all my brothers, give a drop-that’s all we need! Shadows of forgotten ancestors, yours and mine, in chronicles, hearts, eyes, and blood of centuries forever! Shadows of forgotten ancestors in chronicles, hearts and eyes, in our blood forever!
I'm a gіrl from a small town,
My folks are best descrіbed
in the wrіtіng of Dumas-
One for all and all for one!
Nowadays, Dante would've wrіtten the Divine Tragedy,
But we need Pіcasso's dove-
it’s the dіvіne strategy.
In my chіldhood, girls
played wіth toy dolls.
But I wrote these words here-my favorіte toy was
a book by Shakespeare.
Just lіke the Brothers Grіmm,
I'll leave behіnd a piece of me.
Remember your ancestors,
But wrіte your own hіstory!
*Trembita -a musical instrument from Carpathian mountains region en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trembita. *Perun-the principal god in Slavic mythology-god of thunder en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perun. *Dazhbog-a god of Sun and fire, son of Perun in Slavic mythology en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dazhbog. *Viche-a popular assembly in Kyiv Rus www.encyclopediaofukraine.com/display.asp?linkpath=pages%5CV%5CI%5CVicheIT.html
I think that the meaning of the song relates not only to Ukrainians, but in principle to all nations of the world. In my humble opinion, Alina promotes very important values:
1. "one for all, and all for one" (be together, love your neighbour);
2. be aware of the scale of the "divine tragedy" (wars, climate change, hatred, racism, hunger, poverty, dangerous diseases, and many other problems)
3. and solve it strategically (Picasso's dove is not only about the peace against war, but in general about everything pure and noble, about love for nature, people, and oneself); Interesting that original "Dove" is preserved in Parkhomivka Art Museum, Kharkiv district, Ukraine.
4. humanism (the idea of many books of Shakespeare; or just Alina's biographical mention that her parents didn't have enough money for baby dolls, and books have been "these toys" (which is very significant, now fewer people read books as they did before));
5. to leave a legacy (don't "swim with the stream", don't be indifferent, don't live in the past, and by remembering old good days, but "write your history" now and become heroes of our time).
In general, this list can be continued as you feel.
Also don't forget that the mentioned figures are from France, Italy, Spain, Great Britain, and Germany - the founding countries of Eurovision & the host country of this year's contest. No doubt that many listeners will be able to find an example or even, let's say, a kindred spirit, in the names of great people, which will make the song even closer to the audience.
It's just WOW! I have goosebumps every time I listen to "Shadows"...
Amazing and Best song, Winner Alert, Yes, Good Luck and Good Vibes in Turin, GO UKRAINE!! 🇺🇦
I think we should tally the amount of times someone says “Ooh” in this reaction 😂
Ooooooooh
This song has grown on me with every listen and climbed to my number 1. Alina is such an emotive and captivating performer, would not be surprised if Ukraine won again this year. If she is not allowed to go to Eurovision, I will be so pissed. This is too good to just throw away like that.
You’re amazing 🙌🏻🇺🇦❤️🔥 Thx a lot!
Winner alert ❤️
One word: ooooh. 😂
Alina❤️❤️❤️
thank you for drawing attention to the unification of Ukraine at the end of the speech... The whole world must unite. Thank you for the wonderful review, for feeling this composition.
Beautiful !!!❤

Fernand 😍 you're so deep and intelligent
Я надеюсь они разберутся там и она поедет. Ибо такое не должно просто исчезнуть
Думаю, Не поїде…нажаль..Там вже підключилася купа народу, дійшло до того, що з нею не підписують контракт на участь, допоки не вияснять усіх обставин.
💙💛
💜💜💜🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦💜💜💜😘
💛💙💛💙💛💙
🇺🇦❤️
It is beautiful isnt it? BTW your reaction vids are simply the best!
It reminds me a bit of "Earth song" by MJ, especially vocalise in the final part. Great performance BTW. GL from Siberia :)
I am gutted this has been withdrawn.
🇮🇹❤🇺🇦
Ukraine 🇺🇦 as always the best of best 👍✊ I proud of my country and my nation🇺🇦👏
Another victory for Ukraine by this wonderful song and performer ?
Cool!!!
Another Ukraine song we will never see on the esc stage 😭
🇺🇦❤️❤️❤️🙏😍
Unfortunately, today it was decided that Alina will not represent Ukraine in 2022. It's a pity...
It’s a very meaningful song By the way I could barely hear Alina's voice
she withdraws from the esc 2022
🇺🇦👍
🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦👍👍👍
Shame she's withdrawn 😔
She’s withdrawn from Eurovision 👎🏻 xx 💋
Really? Compared to what Ukraine had brought to the ESC stage in the last couple of years, especially GO_A this is somewhat underwhelming TBH.
The English rap is really bad... Also, i really dislike the sounds at start/end. The stagging needs seriously improved. Other than that everything is fabulous
