Tomorrow, Pink Floyd will release a new song called "Hey Hey Rise Up" in support of the Ukrainian people. This is the first new original music they've recorded together since 1994's "The Division Bell."
The track features David Gilmour and Nick Mason with bassist Guy Pratt, Nitin Sawhney on keyboards, with a stunning vocal performance from Andriy Khlyvnyuk of the Ukrainian band Boombox.
The track, recorded last Wednesday (March 30), uses Andriy's vocals taken from his Instagram post of him singing in Sofiyskaya Square in Kiev.

The song 'Oh, The Red Viburnum In The Meadow' is a Ukrainian folk protest song written during World War I that has been spreading around the world over the past month in protest at the invasion of Ukraine.
The title of the Pink Floyd song comes from the last line of the song, which translates to 'Hey, hey, rise up and rejoice.' Gilmour, who has Ukrainian daughter-in-law and grandchildren, says: "We, like many others, are feeling the anger and frustration at this vile act in which a peaceful and democratic independent country is being invaded and its people killed by one of the greatest powers in the world.".
