Rousing anthem sung with courage and heart! 

Quote:The band's song, 'Stefania,' was written as a tribute to the frontman's mother, but has transformed since Russia's invasion on February 24 into a war anthem.

The lyrics 'I'll always find my way home, even if all roads are destroyed,' written by frontman Oleh Psiuk, are said to have taken on a special meaning in light of the war.
