The Song ‘Mayak’ by The Hardkiss – Lyuba’s goosebump moment
“Hi. I’m Lyuba and I’m from Ukraine. My goosebump moment is when I listen to The Hardkiss’s songs. Everyone has their own favorite song that gives them goosebumps and some kind of special feeling. So, I want to tell you about the band from which I get goosebumps when I listen to their songs. So, The Hardkiss is a Ukrainian band which is known not only in Ukraine. My favorite songs are ‘Mayak’ and ‘Make Up’. At the first semi-final of the Eurovision Song Contest 2023, they performed a small part of the song ‘Mayak’ and it was just incredible! I had goosebumps. During their performance, I not only had mixed feelings and emotions, I was also just proud of our artists that we have in Ukraine, yeah. So, I highly recommend you listen to their songs.”
