You're welcome.

The reason it didn't work for you was because of the time code added after the video code.

The Video Code ends right before the ' & '

"&t=231s" = 'and time equals 231 seconds'

This is supposedly the English translation:


"In the meadow a red viburnum has bent down low
Our glorious Ukraine has been troubled so
And we’ll take that red viburnum and we will raise it up
And we, our glorious Ukraine shall, hey—hey, rise up—and rejoice!
And we’ll take that red viburnum and we will raise it up
And we, our glorious Ukraine shall, hey—hey, rise up and rejoice!"

I'm not too sure how I feel about this.

Pink Floyd has been one of my favorite bands, and The Endless River was a fine place to end.

Writing a song for or against the war seems like bad taste in this wicked climate we find ourselves in. Much more like a Roger Waters move than anything.

Perhaps I am being close minded, it's a fine song, and of course Gilmours guitar still rips. But perhaps it shouldn't have been called a Pink Floyd song, and more of an Andriy Khlyvnyuk song featuring David Gilmour and Nick.

That's just me though.

Wonder why they haven't done a song about the atrocities in Yemen yet?

Not enough social media recognition to be had there?

This feels so fake and like an attempt to just ride the pro Ukraine wave for internet clout...

There are literally atrocities carried out daily by our respective governments in the west yet they decided to come off a 28 year hiatus for this?

Just doesn't add up...

That's what I'm saying.

Kinda bummed overall to be honest.

I can't seem to find the Heil's up button on youtube. Why wasn't the ghost of keiv in there as well? The kool-aid is loosing it's touch but at least it comes in yellow and blue now. That's cool.
