Karolina Protsenko infuses beauty and emotion into every song she plays, and her violin cover of Keane’s “Everybody’s Changing” is no exception. She makes the heart of the song come alive with an oversweet sense of isolation and hope in the melody that is both restful and hip-swelling. The way she plays, the music sounds like it is telling a story — a story of time, of change, and how to keep going when everything feels iffy.
As the tune runs on, Karolina’s bow delicately conveys the feelings, morphing a pop-rock standard into something tender and earnest. Her violin adds a new sensibility to the song, making it more meditative. No words are needed when Karolina plays; the meaning is felt through the rise and fall of the melody. The feelings in her playing come across plainly and move the heart as only music can.

Because “Everybody’s Changing” is a song that a lot of people already know, Karolina is able to bring something new to it. Her slower, warmer style transforms it into a wholly different experience. It becomes less a song than a moment to stop and consider how fast life goes and how we all try to find our place within it.”
That emotional potency carries into Karolina’s stunning rendition of “Oceans” by Hillsong United. This time, she’s been joined by her cousin, Avelina Kushnir, whose voice introduces another level of feeling to the music. It’s very much an offering, a prayer: as Karolina plays, Avelina sings, and the two create a gorgeous, powerful, peaceful piece. It has to do with faith, trust, and the strength you discover in yourself when you are up against deep waters.
