'Shum' in this case is an ancient Ukrainian word for 'forest'. The song is built on the base of before christian ukrainian songs and ritual of summoning spring. Btw her green "fur" symbolizes forest.
OMG so I got it 🤣I'm from Spain and I loved this entry, they were one of my favorites. I supposed she was a witch from a winter forest, all dressed in black and green moss, summoning spring with an ancient and mysterious spell. And I don't understand the lyrics or searched for the meaning at all. They did it right if a foreigner like me, from the other side of Europe and who can't understand ukrainian, could get it, just by the music and visuals.
This song is a traditional "spring song" - spring songs are ancient folk songs, they tell about the upcoming harvest, field work, this is a very old tradition,about the arrival of spring, about the arrival of spring birds, and about how nature blooms - even before Christianity tradition. She sings that she is planting hemp. Ancient Ukrainians made hemp cloth for clothes and sacks, and so on.The style of her voice is the style of Ukrainian folk singing. The song and singing style is a tribute to tradition + electronic music. Greetings from Kiev. Sample spring song - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE--GeFwJF7HeI.html
I knew the chorus of this song because Thomas, the Maneskin’s guitarist, that night is been dancing like a crazy and Damiano asked to the singer to learn some words and he struggled 😂
Its a special kind of slavic women singing and the tempo is also tradicional slavic. The fur coat was of the forest god šum who brings forth the green spring.
Like some Eurovision knowledge: Every song in Eurovision does not have live instrumentation. So Maneskin no didn’t have live music. That stopped since like the 80s. Her song shum is about summoning spring and how winter leaves. She got 2nd place from public voting and this was the fav song from every Eurovision fan and then some.
She said “Thank you” in Ukrainian at the end. By the way, during the winner’s press conference Moneskin said that Shum (pronounced sh-oo-m) by Go-A was their favorite song at Eurovision that year.
And it's only your first one!)))) I'd like to see your 20-30 time reaction)))))) cause this is addictive performance)))) They have second place in televoting and it's not accidental! 😅
You (actually we) have a chance to hear the flute man ones again on Eurovision 2022 as contestan (from Ukraine of course) in the band Kálush orchestra with the song *Stefania*
It's not flute -- it's sopilka (ukrainian traditional instrument), and Kalush Orchestra also don't use flute, they use another ukrainian instrument - tylynka (tilinka). It has only two holes, when flute has 14-16 holes
I cant believe you said the sopilka is jarring! But i understand if you have not heard before then its different XD Sopilka is what western would say flute but is not quite.
This wasn’t the best video to watch of this song, I think the official video is way better, also their live final performance was a better one too. I wasn’t sure about it when I heard it during the group stages but wow did the song grow on me!!
And Ukraine loves Poland. We all voted for you and we never forgave our jury for not voting for Christian.We all here thought it was deliberate sabotage, 'cause it was too weird. Anyway, what happened, happened. Hope we'll never seen this judges again. 🤍❤️
the song is actually called noise in ukrainian/russian and the song is a call out for spring. and its also a mix of ukrainian folk music and electro music
There a two versions of this song. The first version (the original) I like more. They did the second version especially for the esc. They filmed the video near by Tchernobyl: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-i7R1i1mpSlY.html
