Anniversary of Kuzma’s death: 5 memorial songs of Scriabin.

February 2 marks the 11th anniversary of the death of Andrii Kuzmenko, the soloist of the Skryabin group, who tragically died in a car accident. UNN offers a selection of five of his songs, which gained even greater fame after the musician’s death.

On February 2, it will be 11 years since the death of the well-known Ukrainian performer, leader of the Skryabin band, Andrii Kuzmenko. UNN presents a selection of 5 works of the musician, which will not leave listeners without emotions.

Kuzma died on February 2, 2015 as a result of a fatal car wreck.

The artist was 46 years old. It should be noted that Andrei’s works gained even more popularity after the celebrity’s death. Despite the fact that Kuzma is no longer with us, his songs are still very relevant.

“Old photos” This song is one of the most personal and frank in Kuzma’s creative legacy. It appeared from a specific segment of his existence — the time of memories of comrades and experienced events. The text is composed in such a way that each listener can recognize his personal story in it. The philosophy of the work goes beyond the individual and turns into a universal understanding of the passage of time, memory and loss.

“We were abandoned” Andriy Kuzmenko never shied away from difficult topics. Living in an independent state, he could afford to speak openly about the power and responsibility of those in power. In the song “We were abandoned”, Kuzma mocks with irony and sharpness those for whom Ukraine is only a resource, and not a country that should be developed. Directness, clarity and lack of ambiguity actually made this track particularly influential and brought the artist real trust and respect from listeners.

“People as ships” One of the most profound philosophical songs of Kuzma, in which human destinies appear in the form of ships lost in the endless sea. The author aptly conveys the feeling of finding a personal path, fighting against circumstances and fear of drowning under the onslaught of reality. This song is a reminder that storms are inevitable, but even in the darkest moments, it’s important not to lose your humanity and inner light.

“Your own country” Kuzma’s patriotism was not external, but internal and deep. He sincerely did not understand why Ukrainians abandon their own country, looking for a better life somewhere abroad. The song “My own country” became a kind of appeal – it formed a sense of responsibility for one’s land and caused pride in how wonderful it is to be Ukrainian.

“Mom” Kuzma created not only on patriotic or social themes. The song “Mam” is one of the strongest lyrical works of the artist. There are no invented images or eloquence in it: Kuzma simply says what he has kept in his heart for a long time. It is this simplicity and sincerity that make the song extremely soulful.
