Ukrainian indie rock band Vivienne Mort pays tribute to fallen soldier Maksym Kryvtsov with new song

The Ukrainian indie rock band Vivienne Mort released a song titled “Don’t You Go Here, Don’t You Go” inspired by the poem of the fallen poet and soldier Maxim Kryvtsov. The band’s vocalist, Daniela Zayushkina, revealed that she knew Maxim Kryvtsov, who had a tattoo with a quote from one of her songs. 

“Maksym’s friends sent me a collection of his poems. I read the first poem, sang the second one, and it turned into a song. In eternal memory of the Ukrainian warrior-poet,” she wrote.
