Was looking to post something elsewhere on Pink Floyd, and still will, however had completely missed this discussion from back in March, and was, well disappointed, and yet not somehow surprised.
Noooo!, Pink Floyd why!?

The rock band yanked its post-1987 songs and its leader’s solo catalog from Russia and Belarus amid Moscow’s offensive in Ukraine
Pink Floyd guitarist David Gilmour has announced that all of his solo music, as well as all of the progressive rock band’s pre-1987 catalog, will be pulled from streaming services in Russia and Belarus on Friday over the conflict in Ukraine.
“To stand with the world in strongly condemning Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, the works of Pink Floyd, from 1987 onwards, and all of David Gilmour’s solo recordings are being removed from all digital music providers in Russia and Belarus from today,” said a statement

Q: (L) Now, frivolous question number one: Do you guys like Pink Floyd?
A: "Like" is a bit off base.
Q: (L) What would be more 'on base?'
A: Absorb.
Q: (L) Do you absorb Pink Floyd?
A: We are Pink Floyd, and all other facets of your higher consciousness.
Here, Gilmore is talking about possible influences for his new song, tour and band sanctions, and yet at the end of the day it's like anything else, one is anti-covid vaxx, but pro Climate Change and pro Ukraine - or all mixed up. Thus, it is too bad that Pink Floyd, being resurrected, has taken their dance on the road (and the new is not the old despite familiar faces and strings). PF seems to be currently doing recordings and a tour, at a time when going against the grain might be rather difficult for bookings and a nice friendly press, but they are playing, as it is being framed, to support a lie when they could have helped people to look more closely. Gilmore is no JPB on standing his ground and saying no - at the present moment at least.
Q: (Burma Jones) What do they mean by “psychic hygiene”?
A: Being careful about what you allow into your ”field”.
Q: (L) In what sense?
A: All senses.
Q: (L) What do you mean “all senses”?
A: Seeing, hearing, speaking, and so on
The money raised by PF is said to be in support of Ukraine Humanitarian causes, but what does that mean exactly, hopefully no Javelin Missiles are bought and sold on the dark web with the proceeds. And what about eastern Ukraine, had Mr. Gilmore considered the greater than 13,000 people murdered there? Where was the song in the last 8 years? I'm sure those Ukrainian families would have appreciated it.

Pink Floyd will release two physical versions of their first new music in over 25 years, recent single
“Hey Hey Rise Up,” which was first released digitally in April to support of the people of Ukraine.
The single will be available as both a 7-inch and CD single on Oct. 21 in the U.S., with both formats boasting newly-reworked version of “A Great Day For Freedom,” from the band’s 1994 album.
The Division Bell. David Gilmour reimagined the song using the original tapes, which feature
Nick Mason on drums and the late Richard Wright on keyboards.
[...]
“Hey Hey Rise Up” was recorded in late March in Gilmour’s barn and features vocals by Andriy Khlyvnyuk of the Ukrainian band, Boombox,
who recorded himself in full military gear singing the folk song, “The Red Viburnum in the Meadow,” to the empty streets in Kyiv’s Sofiyskaya Square.
My daughter-in-law, who actually is Ukrainian, sent it to me and I thought, ‘Wow, that’s fantastic,’” Gilmour
recently told Rolling Stone of discovering Khlyvnyuk’s work. “
It just struck me that here we are, with our name [Pink Floyd] and this platform,
and we could use it more. That piece of singing immediately got me thinking of
turning it into something.”
“I hope the song does
some good,” Gilmour added, explaining why he decided to resurrect Pink Floyd. “
I hope we achieve something with it.”
"Turning it into something" while supporting the US/NATO proxy murder is not doing something "good..." Mr. Gilmore - PF, is not helping Ukraine, Ukrainians, and perhaps he will need to go back and review some of the meanings of what they once played and why - O yes the why.
PF's The Dogs of War:
Dogs of war and men of hate
With no cause, we don't discriminate
Discovery is to be disowned
Our currency is flesh and bone
Hell opened up and put on sale
Gather 'round and haggle
For hard cash, we will lie and deceive
Even our masters don't know the web we weave
One world, it's a battleground
One world, and we will smash it down
One world, one world
Invisible transfers, long distance calls,
Hollow laughter in marble halls
Steps have been taken, a silent uproar
Has unleashed the dogs of war
You can't stop what has begun
Signed, sealed, they deliver oblivion
We all have a dark side, to say the least
And dealing in death is the nature of the beast
One world, it's a battleground
One world, and we will smash it down
One world, one world
The dogs of war don't negotiate
The dogs of war won't capitulate,
They will take and you will give,
And you must die so that they may live
You can knock at any door,
But wherever you go, you know they've been there before
Well winners can lose and things can get strained
But whatever you change, you know the dogs remain.
One world, it's a battleground
One world, and we will smash it down
One world, one world
Perhaps, too, as he and the band moves through this period, they will learn something about themselves and the situation they have got themselves into.
As for this Andrity, the so-called inspiration for Mr. Gilmore (or was it his daughter-in-law, or was it the producers or even the home office), had just happened to sing this song on February 27th, 2022 in an empty Kyiv square (see below), while being embedded in some type of military unit. He had also been once injured, with the glass media eye following him around, or one might think this based on the uploads and media. By April 7th, Mr. Gilmore himself was busy in his studio conducting a follow up song, and resurrecting old members of the band. Andrity had been in the US on his own musical tour, then moved with all haste back to Ukraine and the battle - however, have never heard of him before.
Andrity singing is
here on Buzzfeed, and the Kyiv Post
provides a so-called historical record on the song et cetera.
