THE ROOP - Love Is All We Got (Official Music Video)

This is the Official Music Video for 'Love Is All We Got' by @THEROOP
---
---
We filmed the music video for “Love Is All We Got” at the end of October 2021. We, Lithuanians, have a painful collective memory and it kept whispering that the tension and disturbance in the world was rising. But not even in the worst nightmare could we dream of a war starting in it’s roughest form. While editing the video now we added additional images of people gatherings, support and protest activities from Lithuania and around the world. It is important for Ukrainian people to see us all who see, feel and support.

Blooming flowers symbolise hope and desire for peace. After all, flowers can break through concrete - such a superpower of life lies within the spirit of Ukrainians while fighting the invader. The dominating green color in the music video encodes revival, birth, and also prompts to stride forth and commit actions firmly.

Looking back at Lithuanian history, we remember experiencing Russia’s regime aggression multiple times. We were being occupied, exiled, killed. Each family has living memories of it. So how did we survive? We are guessing it was because of love. Because of big love for our families, children, mothers, fathers, and our country. Our nation like no other deeply understands and supports Ukraine. Putin's war against Ukraine is a war against humanity. We wish for it to end.

We express enormous support for Ukrainian band “Go_A”, with whom we established a warm friendship in Rotterdam, during “Eurovision”. We were discussing a collaboration and “Love Is All We Got” was one of the options. However, our intentions and plans were terminated by Russia’s invasion into Ukraine. “Go_A” recently wrote that they temporarily pause their music activity because of the war. All members of the band remained in their homeland. We want to believe the war ends as soon as possible, and we can write music and make the collaboration happen.

We admire people’s consolidation in Ukraine’s exhausting fight against the aggressor. Each contributes as much as they can and comprehends at a time. We, as THE ROOP, support Ukraine by financial donations, and we gave away all of our remaining merchandise - warm sweatshirts for adults and children. In addition, we constantly share relevant information on social media. Now we decided to contribute using our primary work - music. All of the funds collected for streaming of this song on all platforms in 2022 will be used to support Ukraine. Music can contribute to the idea of a better world, and spread beyond borders and nations.

I am from Sumy, East Ukraine. Thank you for your support! Thank you so much for your love and support! It is very important for us for these days to get any support from the world! Lithuania are our brothers!!

[darynayaa]

Lithuanians, I can’t even express how much I love your country and people! Thank you so much from Kyiv, Ukraine 🇱🇹 ❤️🇺🇦

The Roop, the song is amazing!

[BGDNV]

THE ROOP never disappointed! This song is fire! Full support! This track shows how united we are as humans! Happy independence day, Lithuania! Слава Украïнi!

[lidiiabilyk]

Thank you, Lithuania! Thanks to Lithuanian people for supporting us. You are amazing. I’m thankful to all countries who supported Ukraine, but Lithuanian people and government just stole my heart 💙💛 we appreciate it a lot and I’m about to cry while writing this comment here.
Thank you all!

[Svitlana_D]

Thank you for the support! For the first time I heard this song in the middle of the night while wating to the end of air alarm. It helps not to lose my mind. I hope we'll win. I will return to my home in Kyiv and one day The Roop will come to Kyiv with a concert. And I will listen to this song live.

[palyevo]

Sveiki. Aš esu iš Ukrainos, Zaporožės. Ir aš esu didelis jūsų grupės ir apskritai Lietuvos gerbėjas. Labai džiaugiuosi, koks draugiškas visada buvote su mumis. Ir, žinoma, man patinka tavo muzika. Vis dar klausausi tavo kūrinio iš praėjusios Eurovizijos. Ir aš noriu išmokti tavo kalbą. Tiesa, beje))) Ačiū už puikų klipą ir kūrybiškumą.

[RedMaryLou]

Stop it! Now I'm crying. This song is what the WORLD needs right now! The Roop, once AGAIN, nailing perfection. My love and support to everyone in Ukraine and neighboring countries. I hope you all stay safe.
<3 from the US <3

[ЕкатеринаСкабардина]

Всегда любила вашу группу и голосовала за вас на Евровидении, долгое время песня стояла на звонке.спасибо за поддержку, реву.три недели в подвале, нервы как струна...

[julie_rozz]

hello from Ukraine. thank you for your talent, work, and support!

[tammyrose]

Литва! Ви просто найкращі! Наші справжні брати, найтепліші люди з повними любові серцями!)
Хай все у вас завжди буде добре💙💛
The Roop, дякую за ще один чудовий шедевр!))

[arnoldasstazys]

Kokia fantastiška grupe Lietuvą turi, šį grupė eina teisingu keliu. O tai kas vyksta Ukrainoje yra begalo baisu 😥 Ukraine stay strong everyone support you 💙💛

[rossellalodato]

I noticed that after the red and the yellow, you wore the green: the Lithuanian flag is complete.🇱🇹 I did not know that Lithuania celebrated two days of independence. I think you with your incredible song are recreating a Baltic Way far longer than the 600 km human chain that connected Vilnius to Tallin against the Soviet Union: you are uniting the whole world with an unprecedented show of solidarity! You are fantastic ambassadors of your country (as well as of music, art and the noblest and most inspiring messages) to the world ... I can't wait for all this madness to end. I can't wait to see you take your powerful messages around the world! I really hope to see you soon in my country too, I don't know what to do and what to say more to have you here. You with your music are truly a MAGNIFICENT GIFT for humanity!
A BIG HUG to you and to Go_A too: stay united, stay strong, stay human! Always!💚

[rossellalodato]

There couldn't be a better time to release this song - it's a hymn to the peace and love we all need right now. And I'm already madly in love with it!

[julia]

Дякую. Ще раз переконуюся які ви чудові. Ваша підтримка зараз як ніяк потрібна нашій країні. Ми вас любимо 💙💛Я вірю в перемогу і ми зустрінемося на ваших концертах))

[orhideafox]

Дякую!
Дуже классна пісня. Крім того, що ВЕЛИКЕ дякую за підтримку!
Миру нам та всьому Світу!!!💙💛

[GreyGuerillaNetwork]

The Roop have, once again, delivered a strong song. I admire the group's experimental take on music; their songs are ear-worms I don't want to get rid of! *Happy Independence Day, Lithuania!* 🇺🇸❤🇱🇹

🇺🇸🇱🇹🇺🇦 💙💛

[shavlviv]

Дякую, Литва хороша країна з добрими людьми.

[Berintseva]

I just wanted to watch your videos The Discotheque and On Fire…and found these. I’m crying. Thank you so much! From Ukraine with love! 🇱🇹❤️🇺🇦
