“Yours Eternally” is a moving collaboration between U2, Ed Sheeran, and Ukrainian musician and soldier Taras Topolia. Taken from the EP Days of Ash, the song is written from the perspective of a soldier separated from the one he loves.
“You don’t always expect a song to stop you in your tracks. This one did.”
“Yours Eternally” brings together U2, Ed Sheeran, and Taras Topolia — frontman of Antytila, who left the stage to serve on the front lines in Ukraine following Russia’s invasion in 2022.
The song unfolds as a letter from a soldier on active duty — not defeated, not broken — but resolute, devoted, and defiantly alive in spirit. There’s longing in the lyrics, but also strength. It’s intimate without losing scale.
The collaboration itself has a powerful backstory: Bono and The Edge’s visit to Kyiv in 2022 led to a first meeting with Taras Topolia in a metro station performance — a moment of solidarity that evolved into friendship. “Yours Eternally” grows from that connection.
Musically, the track balances atmosphere and urgency. The arrangement allows space for reflection while building toward emotional lift. It’s less about spectacle and more about human presence — voices carrying weight beyond the notes.
Music doesn’t always move me emotionally. When it does, I pay attention. This was one of those moments.
If it resonates with you too, let me know below.
