Well, it was his words that he cannot work without music. And together with him, the whole office at the production site listened to his music I think he didn't enjoy the music so much, he just needed the rhythm of the music, which in a certain way set the pace of his work. For example, music helped me work when I had to work at night and I really wanted to sleep, it just chased away sleep, but in normal mode I mostly work in silence.

I'm not a fan of Sia, I just sometimes listen to a few of her songs, but somewhere I saw information that in those clips it's not her, but a teenage girl dancer. They just found a young girl who looked like her and made a similar hairstyle.

I heard about Asia Ahat more than once, but I did not follow her biography and creativity, to my shame. After reading about her, I realized that I missed a lot. I need to fill this gap.

And I know Vera Brezhneva, but I am not consciously interested in her work. By the way, I also listened to this song on that radio together with man, who cannot work without music . It's just that she sang mainly in Russian until 2022. And there were too many Russian-language songs in our cultural space at one time. That is, until then she worked for Russian culture in Ukraine and it would not be so critical if all this for Ukrainians was not so closely connected with the bloody events that we are experiencing now. Because the Russian cultural expansion was followed by the occupation of precisely those Ukrainian lands where there was the largest number of Russian-speaking population, which gravitated more towards Russian culture than in other regions, with the destruction of cities, a large number of immigrants and refugees. In addition, when her Russian presenter once showed that she was marked as a Ukrainian singer on some website and asked if she considered herself one, she denied and said that she did not consider herself one. Only after a full-scale invasion did she change her clothes in the air and start singing Ukrainian songs. By the way, her surname is not at all the same as that of one of the rulers of the USSR. Brezhneva is her pseudonym. In fact, her name is Vera Galushka. I understand that this song is neutral for you, and that's fine. And I'm not saying that I don't listen to Russian songs at all. But I listen to them very rarely and for me there are certain reasons for this, but this is a separate topic.

Yes, a very strong and beautiful melody! And elements of Ukrainian folk songs. Since this is already the case, I will also present here one Ukrainian folk ritual song, which was sung at Christmas. Although this song is most likely pre-Christian, as well as the Ukrainian "Schedryk", known in the world under the name "Carol of the Bells".

And the promised songs of the Ukrainian electro-folk band ONUKA. The band is quite famous in the world, especially after its performance at the Eurovision Song Contest (not as a participant in this competition). The band's soloist Nataliya Zhizhchenko gave the band such a name (onuka - granddaughter), because after the loss of her father, her grandfather played a significant role in her upbringing, who instilled in her a love of music. Her father was the liquidator of the Chernobyl nuclear power plant, and he died from exposure when she was young. Therefore, at least two of her songs ("Vidlik" and "19 86") are dedicated to this tragedy. In general, she has many wonderful works such as "Vsesvit", "Peremoha", "Misto", "Guma", "Svitanok", "Голос води" (collaboration of several artists, including Natalia Zhizhchenko and her husband), but not all you will list.
