The one-year anniversary of the unjust war against Ukraine was on February 24th. I am Ukrainian-American and I spent many peaceful childhood summers there. This war has affected me deeply so I am going to be releasing a number of songs this year about my feelings. “Spoof I Wonder” depicts the horrors of war as seen by award-winning photojournalist Andriy Dubchak who has been documenting the war including at the front line. My performance, both vocally and visually, attempts to express the profound pain and suffering the war has brought not just to Ukrainians but to all civilized people. I ask everyone to support Ukraine in every way they can and share the hashtag, #StandWithUkraine.
Kelsie Kimberlin – Spoof I Wonder (official song release)
I have a hard time getting up in the morning and facing the toils of the day,
I hope that this is a dream that I’m living and I will wake up from it all
Why is there all this Sadness
Why is there all this Treachery
Why is there all this Hatred
Why is there all this Cruelty
Why is there all this Fighting
Why is there all this Trickery
Why is there all this Lying
Why is there all this Butchery
Who thought of this idea
Who thought of this idea
I prayed to God for some answers but heard no reply, I’m sure that he’s deaf
I fell for the joke that was played on my birthday I wish I could warn everyone.
Why is there all this Sadness
Why is there all this Treachery
Why is there all this Hatred
Why is there all this Cruelty
Why is there all this Fighting
Why is there all this Trickery
Why is there all this Lying
Why is there all this Butchery
Who thought of this idea
Who thought of this idea, I wonder
Who thought of this idea.
