Look, I really miss Ivan, and I’m still bitter that this song didn’t qualify for the big final.
I still listen to it, after all this time.
I want him back dammit xD
The year is 2023.
Belarus has gone into the pit of darkness and it is questionable when will be the next time the nation comes back to humanity, when the madness stops… and then, they’ll be able to participate again.
In the meantime, this song was still so underrated, everything about him was so… weird, in a good way, somehow…
I have no idea what he’s doing now tho; nor about his positions about the current situation of his countries…
he has an instagram account! (sasha_ivanov_music)
from what I can gather he seems to be doing fine, has a wife and kids, was the Caterpillar in the Russian version of the Masked Singer (Russian version)
THANK YOU SO MUCH NOW I CAN REST IN PEACE (not… in the dying way, just in… peace of mind way! This sounded better in my head…)
I think I had an unresolved and unadmitted crush on him back then (that I couldn’t admit because dude was elected “most likely to be a furry” that year by the popular tumblr vote 😂), but I loved that song so much that years and years later, I’d listen to it, and it would always make me feel so free and energised 😊
…but dude has the most common name in the world and either I subconsciously didn’t want to find what he was doing or… idk, but I couldn’t find his other music FOR YEARS 😅
So… you did SUCH a good deed!!! Thank you!!
