No matter which language you speak, no matter in which corner you are on earth,the human feelings will always be the same. I cant able to understand the language but i understand each and every emotions.
Ten years later and I realize this ends with Apocalyptica's Nothing Else Matters. I think this has been scratching the back of my brain since I first saw this video. Don't know how I missed it. So beautiful.
Hi! This video shows my Ukraine's Got talemt show in 2009. Pretty long ago. For now I have downloaded more than 200 videos with different sand art stories on my channel. Welcome to see, to subscribe and be friends! Sincerely, Kseniya Simonova
+Sand Artist Kseniya Simonova (Sand Artist) This was incredible. I never knew about this style of art but I am so glad I saw your video. My jaw was on the ground the whole time. Love your use of Apocalyptica music. It complimented everything you did. And you did it all so perfectly.
+New●Jersey You seriously didn't get it? Its about how 2 people met each other and lost due to WW2 Russia vs Germany. And how much damage war created for other people. This is why you see all the old people cry in the audience. Because they lived through that and lost their relatives. This was a very emotional act
Did anyone notice that her timing on her art is extraordinary with the music?? Not just art but the story timing and length is so unbelievable. SHE is a genius and i love her. You cant judge these kind of talent. Its truly incredibly unimaginably harmoniously amazing
At 2:03 she draws 10 people in 2 and a half seconds. This is the most brilliant piece is drawing I have ever seen. I am told very often that I have drawing skills. And from time to time I come here to see how much I have left to learn.
I also did slowed it down to 1/4 speed. She used ONE right hand and just flitter flatter her hand across the canvas and magically formed those people, ready for the detailing. How many hours do you need to practice to get this proficient and the accuracy with the speed is unfathomable. Also the storytelling is excellent, I have yet have to come across a performance that tops this from all aspect of 'art'. Post a video of you find something that beats this, in all art genre.
What I find so awesome about this isn’t the idea of just making pretty sand drawings, she’s telling a story through a unique medium, one that’s actually interesting to consider. As a storytelling medium, she uses it quicker than anyone could draw normally, there’s a visual aspect to it, it’s live, intimate, elegant and surprisingly cohesive, there is no other medium that does everything better. This is just art, full stop.
Other things to consider is the use of performing live to a set music recording, she can't take her time to get every detail perfect and has to keep moving the progression of the story along in tempo. While this is a constraint in a way, there's a live stage performance opportunity- like she does with rapidly drawing the faces in agony at 3:30 when the driving staccato/fortissimo strings part starts, and ends that segment with what looks like a mushroom cloud-like conflagration until right when that segment ends the "fallout" transitions into being a woman's wavy hair. She also times the "reveal" of when the final form she's working towards comes at the most evocative measure in the music like the shape she's making at the end is the baby reflecting the dead father. (I might be reaching on these next two:) some of the motions of her hands while she's shaping the sand also seem to add something static forms of visual media don't have, as in both times she goes back to form the tear drops on the women's faces, it's a similar motion a person would do to wipe the tears from another's face (which could be the artist just tidying up details or could be intentional emotive import) and during the transitions, before the final form of what she's intending is clear, the set up with the sand pouring or first stage of shaping can form a shape that makes us jump to conclusions like shadowplay/rorschach test and then seconds later it's reveled to be something else which keeps the viewers eyes and brain more engaged than nearly any other medium (e.g. would be towards the end at 6 min mark when she's forming the orthodox cathedral's dome for a second it looks like the hand of God/puppetmaster ordaining the way things play out, which is germane somewhat even when it's later revealed to be a holy building- I admit that one's maybe just me, but it just shows the potential power of the medium to engage memories/imagination).
I feel privileged to see this heart felt history of the Ukraine people's painful history. The tears in the young people's eyes validated the truthfulness in the art.
This nearly got me in tears, it's like I held my breath for 9 minutes, I'm still shocked. Words aren't enough, this art literally talked to me, I could watch her do that for hours. Thanks for the great great performance! May the innocent victims of war rest in peace.
Ahh found this video, i remember before this video uploaded in 2016, maybe 2010 or 2011. I'm watching this video on my cousin's laptop. That's so emotional and make me cry when i was a child. I really love this video, such a nostalgia i can remember my past
This is NOT a talent.....................THIS IS DEFINITELY A "GIFT"!! Being able to SEE, EXPRESS and DESIGN VISIONS THRU ABSTRACT IS FRICKIN AMAZING............AND NOT TO MENTION......SHE'S DOING IT IN SAND............AND DAMN SHE'S VERY PRETTY ;-) You cannot teach this, this is some past spiritual life of an old ARTIST born thru her, TOTALLY AMAZING!! Playing METALLICA was also a great touch!!
I am not an emotional person and I don't tend to cry even on funerals of my family members. This is so far the only thing that makes me cry every time I watch it even after watching it for 20th time thoughout 10 years so far. I watch this every time I feel my body needs to cry, but it is not able to do it itself.. Emotionally - this is a masterpiece for me..
At first I was worried everyone would get impatient with the act. I'm glad to see there are still some cultures with the patience to give this act a chance to transform into the beautiful story that it did. Judges on America's Got Talent would have buzzed this act off the stage 3 minutes in.
This was absolutely the most beautiful thing I have ever seen and I love the instrumental version of Nothing Else Matters at the end This kind of art was mind boggling and gorgeous. This was true talent
This makes me want to learn about that war. I didn't cry because much of the symbolism was lost on me, but I could see from the reactions of the crowd and judges that this art held a deeper meaning to them than just how incredibly beautiful it was.
This is not the same Ukraine now. Nowadays, such drawings and music can get you imprisoned or beaten up. And now Ukraine's national heroes are not those people who are depicted in the sand.
It is NOT again...this is regarding ww2. IT was about entire Soviet Union being attacked by the German Natzis. It's unfortunate that some of them natzis now still exist...this is what is now in Ukraine. Ukraine is occupied by a good portion of Natzis, and they have a very control over their government, I pity their president, as he can do nothing about it, he's in a trap. Moreover, Ukraine civilians as well as Russian civilians that live there have to suffer due to their barbaric actions. If you know anything about history, please don't confuse the conflicts that go on now with ww2. What's depicted in this sand art is about all the countries affected during ww2...especially Russia, also Ukraine, and all the other countries that were part of Soviet Union. I am opposed war, but it's not the Russians who started today's so called 'war'; there's been a war since 2014, and was led by their Natzis, 14,000 ccivilians died, and it's not Russians who killed them, but these Natzies. Ukrainians will regain their country, ONLY, if they get rid of the Natzies occupying their cities. This is what Russia is trying to do now, the Russians came to protect their people, because it's been going out of hand. Unfortunately, the media show completely different stories, spreading lies and hatred. Prayers for both Russia and Ukraine, and everyone. 🙏 Watch this interview by Scott Ritter, and also look for part 2 of it to get more input on today's events in Ukriane. th-cam.com/video/-fNrnWxXhP0/w-d-xo.html Also, check out documentaries by Oliver Stone on Ukraine.
Yes. Her artwork is amazing! One cannot knock that. But I see no one is talking about her choice of music to match the scenarios. The real reason why people in the audience are in tears is actually because of the music selection. Music can be used to manipulate and amplify emotions. This was brilliantly executed here to cue the audience into what she was trying to convey in her art pieces; whether it was joy, sadness, fear, or longing. What a performance! 👏👏👏👏
Actually it _wasn't_ the music itself that brought people to tears. Did you turn on the CC (subtitles) and watch the video? Because if you did, you would understand that the story she told was of WWII when Germany attacked Russia. I'm sure a lot of people in the audience had family members who died during the war. That is the whole purpose of the story she was telling and that story coupled with the narration (which brings back those painful memories), is the _real_ reason many people were brought to tears.
One of the most wonderful and moving things I have ever seen.. Congratulations Kseniya - that is both incredibly beautiful and incredibly skillful. :-)
She is stunningly beautiful and unbelievably talent. The speciality in her art to me is that she doesn't only makes an art but performs a complete act, tells a story of a lifetime or more and gives a complete satisfaction.
This act is absolutely incredible! Done with sand! The talent is incredible! Why would people give this thumbs down? I would like to see any of them match this! Great job!!
In just a few minutes, she made quite a lot of pictures portraying a lot of scenarios. Incredible! She should be the rightful winner of BGT!! I this is truly an incredible talent. A natural gift!
Although it was a long time ago, now when I watch this and I know what is happening right behind our borders in Ukraine, that people are dying, shot on streets, they are loosing families, friends, and homes, and first of all, their freedom, its just heartbreaking.
I remember seeing this on TH-cam when I was in high school or first year of college. I was stunned. That 12 years ago. It is easily one of the most beautiful performance art and expression I have ever seen. I have never forgotten it’s power.
7:15 I gotta admit, it is kinda hard to get emotional over something when you do not know the words. But once that song started to play, I knew the words. I knew the feels and I knew the emotion. What she did and what she does with sand, her performance, her, all beautiful. Also, this might sound weird or nuts, but when she blew out the candle, I could smell it.
What a great beautiful talent. I know its a sad story. But it need to be told. So we all can let the younger generations know why there was a WW2. My grandparents&parents lived it true that war and some of my sisters to. I am now 66 so i am born after the war. Thank you so much for sharing your talent with all of us. God bless you.
I saw this video a few years back and it was already very emotional for me back then but now that the english subtitles are included I'm able to also read the lyrics of some of the songs and my god the second to last song was just so beautiful...
Remembered this after the recent events, heartbreaking how this act shows what’s happening right now. I hope she and her family are safe during these times
Ah ok .. every war is the biggest bullshit. I know a lot of different wars and yes .. Barbarossa was ideed one of the biggest tragedy in the history Thx for your reply and i wish you hereby a merry X-mas
подобная красота я ещё не видел... Молодец , это супер просто, и очень трогательно. надеюсь людей в этом сумасшедшем мире поняли содержание этого прекрасного видео. С любовью из Судана
Just watched an Indian man doing sand art on Asia's Got Talent... but nothing... nothing... will ever touch this piece. Maybe because it was the first I saw, but the feeling and emotion it evoked was real and not forced. In 2022, the loss of war will be made real again. I feel for all the new people that will relate to this pain that might not have known it when this was created. I'm a rational and don't often feel emotions, but I felt this. Ephemeral beauty.
I hope people understand this video. I always watch it when I'm feeling down because not much can compare to what people had to go through back in the day. this video is about WWII and when Germany killed MILLIONS of Russians and Ukrainians. The only way people got through this horrific time was because of religion, family, hope, and love.
J. J. In the way I see it and understand it, she’s presenting all the events that occurred prior and during the Second World War , probably in Eastern Europe. Ksenia Simonova is Ukrainian and the show is Ukrainian as well. This is of course really attached in most people’s memories, the way she depicts them is just amazing
I whole-heartedly agree with everything you said. There's not much to add. It's important to look back at the past, so we don't repeat it and so we appreciate what we have.
The commenter, I came here because I saw her name to compete on AGT Champions saying "Sand Artist." I had no idea of exactly what "Type of Sand Artist?" This is so remarkable! I never saw so many different pictures drawn so fast with sand in my life! I can only hope & Pray The Simon, Heidi, and Mel. B.? Don't get bored and give her the "Red X" before she gets her 1st drawing done. You know how they get bored easily! This is impeccable artwork & I was saddened for what these people had experienced. I'm excited to see her as well on Champions! This Video Clip I just watched? IS A KEEPER!
I remember a teacher in high school showing this my senior year making the statement that because we didnt have any context we couldnt understand the emotions/ wouldnt be emotionally invested in something like this. Meanwhile I was in the back of the classroom crying.... From the music choices to the gift of the sand art. Just amazing
There is a little CC button in the video which you can click on to enable closed captions. You should turn them on and re-watch the video so you can appreciate the parts that were in Russian.
When I was in sixth grade, (about 3 years ago), my art teacher showed us this video. My class and I we're kind of confused at first, but then we sort of understood what was happening. We were all really sad by the end of it. :(
After 6 years this is still the very best sand art show I've ever seen.
You'd better see how Tetiana Galitsyna draws....... find here on TH-cam her channel - galitsyna.tv
Thank you! I was wondering what that said.
Temnaya Noch - Mark Bernes
Chelsea zhou she draw this on 2016? So wdym after 6 years
Riley Franco that's just when it was published on this particular channel. You can find another from 2009.
No matter which language you speak, no matter in which corner you are on earth,the human feelings will always be the same.
I cant able to understand the language but i understand each and every emotions.
Turn on subtitle and u will cry
@@NoumakaraThank you. I did and I did. Hugs.
@@Noumakara Changos, no sabía que había subtítulos. Lo veré de nuevo. Gracias.
Russian 😉
That spiked real tears from an African guy
Ten years later and I realize this ends with Apocalyptica's Nothing Else Matters. I think this has been scratching the back of my brain since I first saw this video. Don't know how I missed it. So beautiful.
Same! When I heard it again on Wednesday series I knew the sound is familiar but I don't remember where and when I first heard it. It was this video!

randombloke that part also got me, I was like what just happened??
@@MeMe-tw4xb I slowed it down to a quarter of the speed, and it was still amazing.
I also did slowed it down to 1/4 speed. She used ONE right hand and just flitter flatter her hand across the canvas and magically formed those people, ready for the detailing.

Why did I think this was about the Titqnic. I grew up thinking this was about the titanic cos that’s what I was told
When I need a good cry. This is were I come to. This and Bowies, "Heroes."
Found myself here again today. My heart breaks for Ukraine. 💔
May God bless Ukraine and protect her 🤲🏻
💯💯💯💯💯
This story and the way she tells it never falls to break my heart.
24/2/2022 came this video in my mind..
God bless Ukrania..

One of the best sand art I have ever seen and the music blends with it appropriately, Fantastic!!!!!!!!!!
This is NOT a talent.....................THIS IS DEFINITELY A "GIFT"!!

You cannot teach this, this is some past spiritual life of an old ARTIST born thru her, TOTALLY AMAZING!!
Playing METALLICA was also a great touch!!
Talent and Gift are the same thing
Talent, gift, skill, blessed, lucky, miracle, etc....ALL DIFFERENT in its own distinguished perception.
Talent can be learned. One is born with a gift.
You need to learn what talent means
eastern style
She's a master in telling a story in her performances. Hands down to this artist.
I've seen this video many times; and it still makes me cry.
I am not an emotional person and I don't tend to cry even on funerals of my family members. This is so far the only thing that makes me cry every time I watch it even after watching it for 20th time thoughout 10 years so far.

Viziionary I disagree. America would have appreciated this amazing talent. It’s a gift no matte4 what country or what language
She gets 3rd on agt
Do you want to rethink that? Watch her performance from tonight’s AGT Champions!
Viziionary - this act received golden buzzer in AGT contrary to what you just mentioned. :D
Katherine Finley why are you responding to a comment from 2 years ago
This was absolutely the most beautiful thing I have ever seen and I love the instrumental version of Nothing Else Matters at the end This kind of art was mind boggling and gorgeous. This was true talent
I watch this a couple times a year, it never fails to bring me to tears.
Still touches my heart especially with everything going on. #prayforUkraine
she is pro Russia
This makes me want to learn about that war.
I didn't cry because much of the symbolism was lost on me, but I could see from the reactions of the crowd and judges that this art held a deeper meaning to them than just how incredibly beautiful it was.
Today news reminded me of this as well.
Anybody here after she got the golden buzzer on AGT champions
She deserves to win
Makara Nou ikr she really needs to win we have never had a sand artist win AGT
yes im
Right here...after seeing her today again..
It makes me so desperately sad that this is happening to them again.
I came back to rewatch this just for that reason. God, I can't stop crying.
**ME TOO.**

HiRyeRye wdym?
Forever one of the most brilliant performances I have ever seen.
Yes. Her artwork is amazing! One cannot knock that. But I see no one is talking about her choice of music to match the scenarios. The real reason why people in the audience are in tears is actually because of the music selection. Music can be used to manipulate and amplify emotions. This was brilliantly executed here to cue the audience into what she was trying to convey in her art pieces; whether it was joy, sadness, fear, or longing. What a performance! 👏👏👏👏

That is the whole purpose of the story she was telling and that story coupled with the narration (which brings back those painful memories), is the _real_ reason many people were brought to tears.
this art is so beautiful both audience and judges cried 😥
Art has no language barriers, love it.
One of the most wonderful and moving things I have ever seen.. Congratulations Kseniya - that is both incredibly beautiful and incredibly skillful. :-)
It's been years since I last saw this but it got me sobbing and eventually ugly crying. She is so talented and the story is very sad
This made me cry. So emotional.
She is stunningly beautiful and unbelievably talent. The speciality in her art to me is that she doesn't only makes an art but performs a complete act, tells a story of a lifetime or more and gives a complete satisfaction.
Saw her perform on a Royal Caribbean Cruise and I was speechless. Watching thid, I still am. She is absolutely fantastic!
God help the Ukrainian people in these difficult days when an evil enemy has attacked this beautiful country again.
She is lovely and talented.
Watching how fast she create those art I am so touched by it.
I am glad Terry press the golden buzzer.
OMGF This woman is AMAZING, WHAT A GIFTED HANDS. You can’t get bored watching her doing her magic.
Also, she is kínda Gaara of the sand, from Naruto.
This act is absolutely incredible! Done with sand! The talent is incredible! Why would people give this thumbs down? I would like to see any of them match this! Great job!!
The people in that audience are under attack right now, today.
1:31 and I’m already losing it 😢
In just a few minutes, she made quite a lot of pictures portraying a lot of scenarios. Incredible! She should be the rightful winner of BGT!! I this is truly an incredible talent. A natural gift!
I cried. 😪😪 War is a demon for humankind. That is not a audition that is a world wide quality show that every artist should see.
Although it was a long time ago, now when I watch this and I know what is happening right behind our borders in Ukraine, that people are dying, shot on streets, they are loosing families, friends, and homes, and first of all, their freedom, its just heartbreaking.
Words aren't enough talked.
I remember seeing this on TH-cam when I was in high school or first year of college. I was stunned. That 12 years ago. It is easily one of the most beautiful performance art and expression I have ever seen. I have never forgotten it’s power.
Strength to the brave Ukranian people during these sad days! Our thoughts are with you! More support is on the way!
she is pro Russian
I'm from Ukraine, and I love my country.
Так, каждый любит свою страну вроде)Ща Зеленский всё сделает как надо и будем любить ещё больше нашу страну)ы
I hope you are safe.
Now you have made yourself known to me so my prayer will include you and yours specifically.
7:15
I gotta admit, it is kinda hard to get emotional over something when you do not know the words.
But once that song started to play, I knew the words. I knew the feels and I knew the emotion.
What she did and what she does with sand, her performance, her, all beautiful.
Also, this might sound weird or nuts, but when she blew out the candle, I could smell it.
What a great beautiful talent.
I know its a sad story.
But it need to be told.
So we all can let the younger generations know why there was a WW2.
My grandparents&parents lived it true that war and some of my sisters to.
I am now 66 so i am born after the war. Thank you so much for sharing your talent with all of us.
God bless you.
Seen her on uk bgtchampions last night and I gotta say This is just so beautiful to watch .. she is totally amazing and I could watch her all day ..
I saw this video a few years back and it was already very emotional for me back then but now that the english subtitles are included I'm able to also read the lyrics of some of the songs and my god the second to last song was just so beautiful...
This by far was a better work than she did on AGT.....this was incredibly moving and heart-wrenching!
I was so mesmerized.
What a touching sand art!
It gives Goosebumps everytime I see. I pray for Ukraine all day . Anyone knows about the symbol on the 05 minute?
I think it is the monument in Victory Square Kyiv called "Obelisk of the hero city of Kyiv"
Remembered this after the recent events, heartbreaking how this act shows what’s happening right now. I hope she and her family are safe during these times
Kesiniya Siminova the most talented sand artist in the world. Congratulations .
Very beautiful Kseniya; words are not necessary since your pictures paint a thousand words, warmest regards, Dr Ahmed Adam [South Africa]
This video had me in tears for some reason, and i don't even speak the language.
it's apparently about Ukraine people's struggles in the war, and brought back a lot of painful and emotional memories for MANY people
Not much talking there anyways. Doesn't really matter, if you can understand the language or not
ART: The only one thing in this fucked up world that makes me feel proud of being "human" :')
unbelieveble
this actually makes me very interested in the history of your story
ooooh 2nd World War .. i thought this story went way more back in time.
she did an awesome job!
Ah ok .. every war is the biggest bullshit.
I know a lot of different wars and yes .. Barbarossa was ideed one of the biggest tragedy in the history
Thx for your reply and i wish you hereby a merry X-mas
I came here from *AGT The Champions*
Wow i can't believe my eyes ♥️💯
I JUST learned of this amazing artist on the show “Right This Minute.” This woman’s talent is mesmerizing. I love it!
подобная красота я ещё не видел... Молодец , это супер просто, и очень трогательно. надеюсь людей в этом сумасшедшем мире поняли содержание этого прекрасного видео.

Kseniya makes it look so easy. Phenomenal talent
Cпасибо за этот шедевр. До слёз. Помним и скорбим. Светлая память им.
Just watched an Indian man doing sand art on Asia's Got Talent... but nothing... nothing... will ever touch this piece. Maybe because it was the first I saw, but the feeling and emotion it evoked was real and not forced. In 2022, the loss of war will be made real again. I feel for all the new people that will relate to this pain that might not have known it when this was created. I'm a rational and don't often feel emotions, but I felt this. Ephemeral beauty.

Do u know the song at 2:30?
Temnaya Noch - Mark Bernes
Do you know the song at 8:52?
@@mich_freyja not sure if you mean 6:52, if so, i think its apocolyptica's instrumental version of 'nothing else matters' by metalica
@@madmeddik Yes. My mistake Thank you.
Some of The most Beautiful Art Iv ever Seen! 😌
Its 2022 and it’s happening again i hope everyone in the Ukraine is okay❤️❤️❤️❤️😭
I hope people understand this video. I always watch it when I'm feeling down because not much can compare to what people had to go through back in the day. this video is about WWII and when Germany killed MILLIONS of Russians and Ukrainians. The only way people got through this horrific time was because of religion, family, hope, and love.
What's happening from 2:00 to 2:50
According to my understanding it's an original broadcasting telling the germans have invaded
I don't understand this video at all could you please give me a reader's digest version explanation? Thanx
J. J. In the way I see it and understand it, she’s presenting all the events that occurred prior and during the Second World War , probably in Eastern Europe. Ksenia Simonova is Ukrainian and the show is Ukrainian as well.
This is of course really attached in most people’s memories, the way she depicts them is just amazing
I whole-heartedly agree with everything you said. There's not much to add. It's important to look back at the past, so we don't repeat it and so we appreciate what we have.
Can't wait to see her in champions, I'm so excited
The commenter, I came here because I saw her name to compete on AGT Champions saying "Sand Artist." I had no idea of exactly what "Type of Sand Artist?" This is so remarkable! I never saw so many different pictures drawn so fast with sand in my life! I can only hope & Pray The Simon, Heidi, and Mel. B.? Don't get bored and give her the "Red X" before she gets her 1st drawing done. You know how they get bored easily! This is impeccable artwork & I was saddened for what these people had experienced. I'm excited to see her as well on Champions! This Video Clip I just watched? IS A KEEPER!
@@LV2UXO77 Exactly, let's hope they have patience and that they don't judge way too soon
she got the golden buzzer!
Some people can't relate to this, and it still touches them personally. Amazing job.
I am in AWE!!!!!!! by far the most brilliant thing I have seen since the Grand Canyon!!!!!
I remember a teacher in high school showing this my senior year making the statement that because we didnt have any context we couldnt understand the emotions/ wouldnt be emotionally invested in something like this. Meanwhile I was in the back of the classroom crying....
From the music choices to the gift of the sand art. Just amazing
I remember watching this when I was little 🥺
Same, it makes me so sad
No words need be spoken, few words need to be said, thank you for sharing yourself to the world.
What an incredible display of talent and creativity. Just amazing.
If you need to take a moment to understand the harm of war, this is what you're seeking. PEACE is a choice. ✌️~THC
she is an amazing storyteller through her art. if only i can understand it,i may have shed a tear too.looks like a sad love story.,😭😥
Turn on subtitle and u will cry
Огромное спасибо, Ксения! Помним. Никто не забыт и ничто не забыто.
I may not understand the words but everyone can understand the emotion!
Powerful
There is a little CC button in the video which you can click on to enable closed captions. You should turn them on and re-watch the video so you can appreciate the parts that were in Russian.
Not all great stories are told by mouths after all. Beautiful.
My god, the way she blew out that candle. My heart nearly stopped!
Amazing to see this kind of art I was very impressed.

God, please protect her and ukraine during this hard time
When I was in sixth grade, (about 3 years ago), my art teacher showed us this video.
My class and I we're kind of confused at first, but then we sort of understood what was happening.
We were all really sad by the end of it.
:(
That was gorgeous! I love her melancholic style.
mela what? I know what melancholy means
Melancholy in adjective form = Melancholic.
