Ніка, чудова інтерпретація! Приємно, що ви звертаєтеся до української культури. Сподіваюсь колись побачити ваш концерт в Україні

[medeology]

Oh, what a beautiful version, a desperate lament with a range of emotions. Love it.

[arnes]

This is insanely touching, sad and beautiful. Thanks so much ❤

[katerynasavchenko]

That’s so touching to hear our Ukrainian song performed by you 💔 I just discovered your grandparents were from Odesa.

[Faydit]

Something new from one of the most unique and awesome voices of the last decades!
Thank you very much!

[Dgbrkr]

This is the best song I've heard in a long time. Thank you for your music. What an incredible performance.

[YK]

I love everything you're doing ❤
You're stunning.
I have a complicated relationship with this song.
I was there.
Each and every time I hear this pain is only multiples.
But I appreciate your version.
Only love ❤

Гей, плине кача по Тисині
Плине кача по Тисині
Мамко ж моя, не лай мені
Мамко ж моя, не лай мені

Гей, залаєш ми в злу годину
Залаєш ми в злу годину
Сам не знаю, де погину
Сам не знаю, де погину

Гей, погину я в чужім краю
Погину я в чужім краю
Хто ж ми буде брати яму?
Хто ж ми буде брати яму?

Гей, виберут ми чужі люди
Виберут ми чужі люди
Ци не жаль ти, мамко, буде?
Ци не жаль ти, мамко, буде?

Гей, як би ж мені, синку, не жаль?
Як би ж мені, синку, не жаль?
Ти ж на моїм серцю лежав
Ти ж на моїм серцю лежав

Гей, плине кача по Тисині
Плине кача по Тисині

So happy this one is out and within my reach at last! 💚

[DanilaKho]

It's a vivid example of Ukrainian culture 🇺🇦

[Полина-гвь]

😭I have no words. So heartfelt! And also I mean, there are no words needed, we share the same pain...
I found out about you thanks to one Ukrainian person. She 100% LOVES it!
Thank you for your integrity of a human, because it looks like in the West people are starting to get used to this war and are getting cynical about it due to Russian influence on your media and because of the general abyss/iron curtain between our worlds!

[peterl]

I get strong Dead can Dance vibes from this! In a great way, I mean getting compared to Lisa Gerrard can never be a bad thing!

[flechakabal]

[orkyathoise]

I'm crying for the beauty and the passion of this song.

Zola Jesus you make my day, thank you for exist! 🙏

[kevinallen]

Zola, if you are performing this at the Grand junction 24th Sep '24 have them dim the lights. The less distraction by other senses the better, this is a deep listening work of art that would work best in an ambient dark place devoid of others and odours but, failing that dim the lights.
Thanx btw thoroughly enjoyed it.
