So heartbreaking I can only watch it once. Vocal ANALYSIS of Dimash's "The Story of One Sky"

- There are few songs I have to stop the recording and move on, and this almost made the list. Dimash Kudaibergen's own screenplay here about peace brought on by war has such imagery and themes that makes me as a new mother pain. And that's what music is supposed to do, bring out emotion. Dimash does it again.
Join professional opera singer Elizabeth Zharoff, as she listens to Dimash Kudaibergen for the first time, performing "The Story of One Sky”.

This song from him is simply masterpiece, he's unique as a human and as a vocalist.
The range and texture of his voice can tell any story of a song. And he does. He is absolutly amazing.
How can I reach you?
@@mathieuplante2047 this is scam don not believe
@@yagzalco7421
The fact that it lip-synchronizes does not mean that it is a scam.
Thank you so much! This might be Dimash's most heartbreaking song ever, but personally I also think it's his most important message.
Also being a new mother, I too struggled to get through this song without breaking down into a sobbing hot mess of emotions. I think the cloaked version of Dimash at the end is the baby all grown up and leading a group of people to freedom.
Yes, I do too. The transition from baby to man with the continuity of the emblem necklace on their chests, leading up into warm light and brighter future.
When Dimash premiered this song at his concert he gave a speech prior to singing the song. I think that speech is important and gives context to the song and story:
"Many thanks dear friends, before I perform the next song, let me say a few words. Thank you very much.
We, the people sitting in this stadium, each of us is different, not totally alike one another, but we are all God's children, each of us with different talents.
And, as I mentioned just now, right now is a bad time. In fact, I am not satisfied with the present situation.
I have not seen how such situations evolved in the past, therefore I don't know what will happen next.
But many people are suffering today because of a few individuals, it's really true.
We, we the adults, consider ourselves to be "smarter" than the small children and innocents, but while we do our best to teach and educate our children,
we forget that we also have some things to learn from those children.
They are pure-hearted, kind, friendly, untainted and without egos and their love for people are pure. Young children have such qualities.
I started writing this song I'm about to perform, three years ago.
Generally speaking, my main purpose in writing this work is to call for peace in the world.
It's a small composition that has burst out from deep within my heart.
To tell you truth, many thanks to god and with your wishes I traveled to many parts of the world and met many different people during my tours.
One thing I understood is that if you look at ordinary people, there is no such thing as a bad nationality, there is no bad nationality!
I don't need to tell you what you already know about the reason for mentioning the topic of nationality here...
Let there be peace in the world, Let there be peace. Let there be no war.
Let no people, let no nationality, let no country suffer!
Because after all, ordinary individuals, ordinary people are not at fault.
The truth of the matter is, no ordinary person is guilty of starting a war!
That's why the next song I'll be performing in your honor is about our common fate under one sky, it's called "The Story of One Sky".
Hope you like it."
Agreed when she mentioned that she wanted to see a live performance I instantly thought of the live performance and the speech he gave. It added so much weight to the performance itself.
Did he premier the song at his Almaty concert, or was the attached fancam from the performance at the Interreligious conference hosted by his country the song's first premier?
ua-cam.com/video/ucEQb2PfnoM/v-deo.html
@@danielbrosky ON september 24th at his concert Almaty
@@shawnkerrick7815 The Conference was on 15 September, so maybe the first premier was then?
13-15 September 2022
Im a metal fan ,,
Maybe he is the greatest singer i ever heard and i know
He has the best passaggios, just listen the way he went from distortion to head voice like it's same register, not to mention unreal control, Portamento and Appoggio, I don't think there is/was anyone who can sing that song except him #thebestgeniussinger .
Dimash worked for 3 years in this project. He composed the music, wrote the script and produced this video. A Masterpiece. Thanks for your reaction, 🥰💚💛💚💛🇧🇷
When Dimash sings this live, for the first time, on stage at his stadium Almaty concert, the images on the screen behind him of actual war footage is even more horrific than the MV/Short film, and appropriately so. I think he is hitting us hard in order to communicate "Look, you can not stand by as passive observers! There are individuals who are actively and forcefully destroying peace and freedom around the world and hurting the innocent in their path; and if you want this to stop then you need to see it, feel it, hear it, and FACE IT and act bravely to STOP IT!!!!! Because such destructive "leaders" are counting on people to NOT pay attention, to not see it or feel it or FACE IT because the people don't want to have their emotions upset, they don't want "negativity", they don't want to be disturbed with reality, I don't want to see it, I don't want to see it........ they only want to be entertained and party....and that is an open door to what Dimash so brilliantly makes us painfully aware of thru his masterpiece The Story of One Sky.
Именно поэтому этой реакции я впервые поставила искренний, от всего сердца дизлайк. Разбор вокала ЗДЕСЬ - это защитная реакция, я понимаю. Но улыбка во время всего этого ужаса на экране... Не смотреть, не знать, закрыть глаза... Это отвратительно. Я в шоке.
@@masslo870 What a tone-deaf comment.
@@masslo870 Wow. Maybe you should look at this again. You seem to have missed what is going on with this reaction and vocal analysis.
@geminitwin1160 no, it is absolutely correct. People avoid the ugly reality of war. Sometimes you need to be forced to face it.
@@masslo870 this reactor is an analyst not your garden variety generic reactor which is why in this instance a viewer receives an incredibly analysis by avoiding looking at the video in order NOT to react. Whoever told her to analyze this one should be scolded as they should have said do NOT try to analyze it, just watch it through once then go analyze the LIVE performance. I'm not sure if you watched the whole video because she actually apologized to those who are here to watch her analysis (NOT to watch her react) because she admitted it was too difficult not to be swept up into the video. I think you're being a little too critical of her. She's not a reactor, Dear.😇✌️🇰🇿🕊️👼 I think she appreciated what DQ was trying to say & do in this MV.
He's young and still developing as a composer. The story, composition, direction, cinematography, performance and message of this video work together so well.
Lots of people are calling this a masterpiece. I can't wait to see the direction career goes in the coming years.
Thank you, Elizabeth! I am a retired music teacher and the current music director of the Tempe Symphony Orchestra. When I retired, I was burning out on music after 52 years of essentially living in a non-stop world of music. After a year of having the orchestra as my only remaining connection to music, I began to look for a way to resuscitate my love of music. I happened upon your UA-cam channel by following a link after listening to Ann Wilson performing Stairway to Heaven at the Kennedy Center Honors. I instantly found myself feeling much like I did as a teenager discovering the power of music all over again. I love having you as one of my guides to different kinds of music with which I was unfamiliar. Through you, I fell in love with a capella music (especially Pentatonix), David Draiman, and most importantly Dimash! As thrilling as Dimash's range and technical prowess are, his passion and seemingly limitless depth of expression/musicality brings me to tears. Even after listening to many of his performances (more times than I care to admit), his power to draw me in never seems to wane. I am also learning to understand and appreciate the world of vocal music more than ever because of your gift; you integrate analysis and heartfelt emotion so perfectly. Thank you Elizabeth, for bring music back into my life in a way I believed was no longer possible.
I love the message in this song. Dimash is a one of a kind singer.
amazing
I'm a cynical 58 y/o man, born within days of the US army being sent to Vietnam and I've never known a world without war.
Someday, before I die, I hope to see one. So far, I doubt it will be this one.
I understand why this hit you so hard, there aren't words to describe how this got me right in the feels. I hope your son gets to grow in a world that knows peace.
What a voice!
✌️🖖
Thank you. I know that this was difficult for you and it should be. That is the point of this masterpiece. I know that it was really hard to separate the visuals from the vocals because they all become one story. Dimash doesn't want us to put blinders on about what is happening in the world. This is all about going towards peace and away from dictators. The symbol on the necklaces is the gnomon, which is the main part of a sundial. Notice that the taller boy bends his and he grows to become the commander. He has lost his way. The drowning boy becomes the soldier (Dimash), the girl chooses him over the taller boy who saved his life. She marries the soldier and they have the little girl who is killed by the commander's soldiers. She is pregnant and is whisked away to an underground place to give birth to their baby boy. She dies in childbirth. The soldier seeks out his old friend with hatred because he caused his daughter's death and the war. He kills him and is then killed in return. He relives his life and screams 'we choose life'. He dies at the moment of his son's birth. The pilgrims are from ALL religions and are struggling toward the light and life and peace. The baby boy now wears the necklace from his mother, he becomes the robed leader of the pilgrims. He is also the soldier reincarnated and he is also Dimash who created this story to tell us. He is leading us to life and peace. The words at the end come from the conference on religions that Dimash 1st performed this song. The Pope was there and gave Dimash a commemorative medal for his work towards peace. Dimash gave everything to this incredible message. His vocals cut through to your soul. They are beautiful, emotional, and meaningful.
Yes the words at the end were by the Grand Imam of al-Azhar Sheikh Ahmed Al-Tayeb.who also made a presentation of a gift to DImash I believe.
Wow. Wonderful analysis and beautifully put; thank you for taking the time to write it. I wonder though if the final scene wasn't the soldier reincarnated but rather the now passed on soldier leading his friends, who had suffered and died, into the light of the next life?
@@erik1836 yes, I can see that too. :)
Yes, the baby that is born at the end is the one that grows up to lead all the multi religious people into the Light. Sorry for your pain, it was a difficult mv to watch at this time in your life. It truly is a message for the world, and the Pope was one of the first to view this mv with other religious leaders, and presented Dimash with a medal for it. I applaud you for making it through this piece.
Love from a Disciple of Dimash, Los Angeles Chapter
The pope and the other religious leaders didn’t watch the video, they saw him performing this song live on stage.
my bad, that's not how I fist heard that, thanks for the correction
@@michaelgage9134 no worries. This live performance was even before the concert and it was prohibited to show the fan cam recordings because of the upcoming concert. Unfortunately as always one published it before but not many noticed it. Meanwhile you can find another fan cam on UA-cam which was published after the concert. ua-cam.com/video/Cd7t81h-v-w/v-deo.html
@@Karin_Aquatica /bow 🙏
From the way the MV moves, the baby was an infant when an adult male looking very Dimash-like joined the group of male persons of various religions that had been on a journey upward always upward and their upward experience seem to coincide with the emotional turmoil that DQ's character experienced like the storm at the time of his rage and murder of the dictator, etc? I always viewed the group of pilgrims as being on a spiritual plane possibly parallel to ours? Watch it again with those elements in mind & see if you don't feel this also, Dear 😇✌️🕊️🇰🇿👼
Hermosisisisisisima reaction!!!!!!! Es una verdadera obra de arte esta interpretación y producción de el unico en el planeta , no hay otro solo Dimash
You’re probably my most favorite Dimash reactor. I understand your feelings at this time of your life, as I remember mine forty years ago, when I became pregnant with my first child and couldn’t watch anymore any tv show with sick or dying children.
Thank you for your beautiful reaction and informative comments.
I have been waiting for your reaction to this above all others since the song and video was released. That alone tells you how much I appreciate and admire your reactions, your knowledge and your profoundly insightful explanations of each Dimash performance. I can't believe after watching this so many times already, I am still mopping up tears from start to finish, not just in reaction to what we witness on the screen, but to your genuine emotional reaction also. Boy, this is the most powerful piece of musical art I have ever heard or seen.....and by far the most emotional reaction on your part. Thank you so much! For this, and every other reaction you have done in the past and will continue to do in the future. God bless you and your family - give your baby a hug for me. Lee
Dimash is not only a great singer. He can also bring emotions into his songs. This is the next level, writing and publishing a story. Dimash has a mission. Would really like to know if he would drink some tea with Elizabeth.
Bestimmt, sehr, sehr gern.
A tea time interview with Dimash would likely increase the following of this channel tenfold. 😁
❤❤❤❤❤
Maybe he could give Elizabeth a sample of his branded tea as he loves tea too.
That is a good idea although I think it never happens because Dimash is so busy with his music journey, many projects and concerts, he doesn’t even have time to watch reactions of his songs on UA-cam from other people .
Even he is very very rarely taking interviews face to face in his country!
I love your reactions Elizabeth and the fact you're finally seeing it makes me happy. You also need to react to El Amor En Ti.
Yes - it's been too long! And I *adore* «El Amor En Tí», no matter what certain Spanish reactors/coaches have to say!
I saw one of his live performances if this song via UA-cam. At the very end he shouts “WE NEED PEACE!” It hit every bit as hard as any other place in the performance. He is a gift to all of us.
I can just imagine how Dimash’s feels about Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. His country could be next in line. ❣️🙏🏼❣️
What a beautiful sentiments, feelings and emotions you have! You are very sensitive and sensible and beautiful persona! I admire you a lot and congratulations for your professionallity! Hugs
As a father myself, I had to pause several times to get through this. I understand completely what you mean and I think, especially in light of this, you did a marvelous job with your analysis.
Oh man. I wish I could just reach through the screen and tell you that it will be OK. As a mother, I understand your pain. I don't know how many times I've seen this, but I cry every single time. Truly a masterpiece by Dimash!
Dimash is absolutely the best singer in the world 💪 👑
Thank you for reacting to this masterpiece from Dimash;)
Dimash’s live performance is just as heartbreaking and brilliant!
Dimash plays a piano version that is unforgettable- it is beautiful!
That was incredibly powerful. Never heard of this artist. Going to check out more. My God, what singer.
This was incredible! What a beautiful message this was. Wow thank you Elizabeth for sharing this ❤! You are amazing
After I saw the first scene of it in this reaction I went and watched the whole thing without any pauses and my jaw dropped and stayed there. Wow.
Buenas tardes desde las Islas Canarias, España
Muchísimas gracias por su excelente reacción al impresionante vídeo de The story of one sky 🥰💘🙏🏼💕
En mi opinión, el vídeo musical está lleno de tantos detalles para autoreflexionar, tiene un significado tan duro, profundo, real y actual; al mismo tiempo, es esperanzador, un grito por la PAZ, hecho desde el AMOR en todas sus vertientes, AMOR con mayúsculas, una Oda a la VIDA, al ciclo de la VIDA
La letra de la canción de Dimash es bellísima, la melodía, los músicos, coros y su voz maravillosa que te atrapa y te llega directa al corazón y al alma 🎼💘🎶🎤✨🌌
Creo que este Vídeo Musical es una bellísima OBRA DE ARTE, digna de estudio 🙏🏼✨🌌🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🤲🏼
Si puedes, mira la presentación de la canción The story of one sky que hizo en el ÉPICO concierto de Almaty, se dejó la piel en el escenario (luego presentó su primera canción en español, El amor en tí, increíble, sorprendente y bellísima)
En este concierto, la canción If I never breath again, es otra de sus maravillas, la previa con la bailarina y luego él (versión super íntima)
Con todo mi respeto, felicitaciones y muchísimas gracias por su gran reacción 🥰🙏🏼💕🕊️🤲🏼
Благодарю вас за то что цените нашего Димаша. Он гордость всего Казахстана
@@ГульнараСулейменова-б8д Gracias a usted, es un honor
Es una obra maestra! Saludos desde Barcelona, España. Creo que no se ha fijado mucho en las imágenes esta chica. Es difícil reaccionar a tanto matiz , la voz y el vídeo y el mensaje.
I understand how depressing the images are,, Dimash did this movie for exactly that, because it's still happening near him (and many of us) they are going through all of this,, and that's awful! We need to shake up the world to do something for peace, what the average person can do is not give way to hatred and raise their children to do the same..
There's so much tenderness, so much emotion in his voice during the movie, pain, anger, hope,,, everything! This is a fantastically good creation!
I wish you and your family eternal peace, happiness, greetings from Hungary
Felicitaciones por la reacción, muy sentida y profesional 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 Dimash un genio, una maravilla, un artista íntegro 💐💐💐💐👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼❤❤❤❤❤🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Powerful, and I don't just mean the performance. So much detail and knowledge and so much empathy. Incredible reaction.
Cuánto esperaba su reacción a esta obra de arte, excelente usted que sabe , muchas gracias!!!!!!!!
Dimash is the best performer in the whole galaxy! He sings each note with such good placement that it seems that he has an instrument in his throat.
Important news: "The Story of One Sky" has been nominated in the "Stunning Eclectic Mix" category at the CPIFF Film Festival, running from 2-25 March 2023 in London.
Bravo Dimash!! 💐💐💐💐💐💐💐
Спасибо за реакцию😎 здоровья Вам и малышу🙏🥰
Поздравляем вас с рождением ребёнка 🚼. Здоровья вам и вашему ребёнку. Salem from Kazakhstan. Rahmet
Maravillosa producción e impresionante mensaje para esta humanidad que a veces es tan inhumana y cruel. Dimash cómo siempre interpretando su canción poniendo su alma en ella. La cantó en un concierto en directo antes del lanzamiento del video, tienes que verlo fué magnífico 👏👏👏👏. Muchas gracias por reaccionar a Dimash ❤️🇪🇸
Вы правы . Димаш гордость всего Казахстана
Realmente sentida y profesional devolución gracias ,gracias,la he disfrutado muchisimo,depende de cada un@ tener un mundo mejor,un gran aporte de nuestro amado!!!
Elegir la vida, elegir la paz, pero nunca a través de la muerte y la destrucción; ese es su mensaje. Cuanto duelen esas imágenes, que son la realidad de miles de personas ahora mismo, y no tiene que ver con la política, sino con el concepto de humanidad. Muy bueno tu análisis y felicidades por tu bebe💖
This masterpiece promotes understanding and peace between peoples. Our contribution will be to spread this message to everyone within our reach. Dimash has been working for peace for a long time. Your "dears" WE CHOOSE LIFE!!!!!
I declare this piece of music the best and most versatile composition EVER, especially when it comes to Dimash's vocals. The finesse and artistry of tSooS is one of a kind. Vocals are the best that mankind ever produced. Dimash, you are a genius for sure! Thank you for that BEAUTIFUL gift! I must have watched that video far more often than a hundred times now. Each and every time I cry. Not only because of that topic but on contrary because of the spectacular beauty of both composition and vocals. Absolutely out of this world! Awesome!
I am Dear from Dimash, I met your channel about 3 years ago when I was still living in Venezuela, I had to flee my country with my family for political reasons among others, today I live in your country 🇺🇸 in Dallas Texas and one of my dreams is to meet to Dimash and to you because you are a person with a big heart and great feelings 🙏🏼❤️
Thank you Elizabeth for this emotional, honest, detailed reaction and analysis. You explained so many singing aspects that I loved and admired and was touched by. I have been waiting for this!
If you want to give your heart a rest listen to "El Amor en ti" from Dimash. It is also touching and surprising but not heartbreaking!
Thank you again.
Vocally outstanding, I sort of got lost in the imagery and intensity of the video and, for reasons that I don't quite understand, ended up with my eyes tearing up. Powerful is, I think, an understatement. Geez, that vocal range and control is mind-blowing. Stunning.
We've all been there.. Dimash has the mysterious ability to touch your soul before you even realise. And the incredible techniques are only a means to an end. This short film is his mission statement, and I don't believe it can leave anyone completely untouched. If his voice speaks to you, definitely check out his channel. And Elisabeth's reactions of course ❤️
Dimash is a genius !!!
This reaction is by far my favorite out of all the very many reactions to this specific video I have seen on UA-cam. It was honest, heart warming, comprehensive. I love when someone who's technically and vocally trained like yourself, takes the time to help us fully understand how amazingly gifted Dimash is. Thank you.
Premio Nobel per la pace.... subito a Dimash e a tutta la troupe cinematografica....di questo video.....sto ancora piangendo!!!!!!
ádimsh unejenplo para la juventud su amor y valores para su familia y patria un cer único ejemplar
Сегодня просмотрел множество реакций на этот потрясающую композицию. И каждый раз ...ревел..есть некоторые видео которые могли бы меня заставить пустить слезу,но...то все не так и не то. Здесь же...с первых нот...С ПЕРВЫХ..я уже начал подходить к той самой грани...пошел успокаиваться,сегодня для меня перебор.
Oggi ho esaminato molte reazioni a questa straordinaria composizione. E ogni volta ...ruggito..ci sono alcuni video che potrebbero farmi piangere, ma...allora non è così e non è così. Qui...dalle prime note...DAL PRIMO..ho già iniziato ad avvicinarmi a quel punto...sono andato a calmarmi, oggi è eccessivo per me.
I don't think I can endure this again. It's definitely a statement. I hope it sparks a ripple across the globe but God is it a gut punch every time.
Extraordinary and thank you for sharing it, I could see how challenging it was, much appreciated ❤❤❤
Dimash is an incredible singer and this is an incredible song with such a strong, emotional video. Thank you for introducing us to this talent, I feel like no current singer is on his level.
Hola amiga he esperado este analisis mucho tiempo, gracias por reaccionar a esta obra maestra de mi amado Dimash, se que es muy dificil para ti porque estas con la adrenalina a flor de piel,te felicito por tu bebe, Dimash antes de lanzar el mv a youtube,el 23 de Septiembre 2022 dio un concierto en Almaty Kazajstan dura casi 4 horas y esta dividido en 3 partes , precioso el Concierto , en la parte 3 interpreta esta cancion por el minuto 25 mas menos, deberias verlo , es maravilloso, inmediatamente viene "El amor en ti" , regalo para todas las Dears de habla hispana porque canta por primera vez en español. Estamos de acuerdo que "Elegimos la vida" Dimash es unico. Saludos desde Chile.
Here is a few things to help understand all the aspects of the story of The Story of One Sky. It is subtitled "Requiem” but it is also a vision and a call to action. Dimash is steeped in sacred music and has a deep understanding of the mystic teachings and symbolism of the major world religions as well as Kazakh shamanism. It is not by coincidence that the first performance of this work took place on September 14, 2022, at the Congress of Leaders of World and Traditional Religions in Kazakhstan. The written statement at the end of the video is directly from the “Document on Human Fraternity for World Peace and Living Together” signed jointly on February 4, 2019, by Pope Francis and the Grand Imam of Al-Azhar, Ahmad el-Tayeb. Dimash met and spoke with both men at the September meeting. Everything Dimash does is intentional, and this piece has layers that would take a dissertation to unravel. I only touch on some of what struck me in the symbolism. The music is a dissertation all by itself. The pendant is an interesting element. It is a gnomon from a maritime compass sundial. This triangular blade is attached to the sundial, casting a shadow on the sundial while the perforated pinhole projects the image of the sun onto the dial. It was used for both timekeeping and navigation, with the gnomon oriented to True North. In the MV, the child who later becomes the military commander never puts on the necklace. After Dimash, the boy, gives his friend the pendant, the camera focuses on his hand and shows that his friend has bent the gnomon in anger over being rejected by the girl. Thus bent, it can never be oriented to True North, and he has lost his moral compass. Later, we see a version of the gnomon, but distorted and without the hole that allows light to shine through, as the military insignia on the uniforms of the commander and his soldiers. Contemporary music is also present: With the phrase "We have passed the moment of Imagine," Dimash reminds us that we are past the sentiments evoked by the song "Imagine" by John Lennon. It is time to stop dreaming about a world of peace and harmony. If we choose life, if we wish for peace, if we want a world without war for our children and grandchildren, we must act and take up the long hard path up the mountain towards the light. It is the only way. The storyline is a very human one: we start as innocents until our hearts are broken, we fail, or our dreams are not realized. If in our pain and disappointment, we turn to anger and blame instead of acceptance, power instead of love, greed and envy instead of generosity, hatred instead of forgiveness, and revenge instead of justice, we sow the seeds for conflicts that can turn into war. The Piper's call is seductive as it promises redress for our grievances, control over our circumstances, and power over those who thwarted us, and this appeals to our wounded ego. However, let's remember that the Piper is a symbolic figure of Death from the Middle Ages, often used as a metaphor for trusting and following charismatic but dangerous and malevolent leaders to certain death. Even if we resist, as the adult Dimash character does, we often employ the same methods and weaponry as the Piper, and thus those who fight back betray peace as well because peace cannot be won through violence. That is the dilemma of those of us who did not start the war, who do not support the war, but are forced to respond in order to defend ourselves and those we love. How can we rid the world of evil without becoming what we fight against? The burning sign "Waldenberg" is a reference to the end of WWII when the US Army destroyed the last of the resistance by the German Wehrmacht to end the war in April 1945. Waldenburg was completely destroyed as you can see from the picture. Many of the dead in those bombed out buildings were women and children. The good guys defeated evil but at what price? iowaculture.gov/history/education/educator-resources/primary-source-sets/world-war-ii/american-troops-move-through The imagery of the denouement is powerful: The cries over the loss of a beloved child and the cries of his wife giving birth to new life are presented as a call-and-response grounded by a powerful Om chant that creates a sacred space, reminding us that death and life are both sacraments and are interwoven. Dimash's vocalization and the pilgrims representing world religions and religious leaders, past and present, walking together shift the narrative toward the final conflict and finally redemption. When Dimash’s character decides to avenge the murder of his daughter, his state of consciousness is reflected in the darkening sky with lightning bolts of anger accompanying the storm of his emotions that buffet the pilgrims. The fog of war obscures the light. When he is killed after exacting retribution, he is dropped back into the "sacred womb" of Earth, the ocean of love and mercy, and is cleansed of the old hatreds and grievances that only bring more death and suffering. He breaks the wheel of endless war and suffering by choosing life. Dimash's scream of “we’re choosing life” is that of giving birth: the old earthly consciousness of an eye for an eye has to die to make way for a new spiritual consciousness that embraces all life. Soul is breaking free to return to its natural state of love and purity as exemplified by the images of the children and the newborn baby. The blowing of the shofar signals God's mercy for humankind when it turns from wrong to right: in the Zohar, the book of Jewish mysticism, it says: “When human beings repent of their sins, they blow the shofar on earth. Its sound ascends On High and awakens the heavenly shofar, and so mercy is aroused and judgment is removed.” Reborn as a leader for peace and love, Dimash's character in the form of his son becomes a guide for all of mankind on our shared journey up the mountain towards the light of God, however we may interpret or name the divine. We are all on the same path, even if our personal narratives, cultural heritage, and spiritual orientations are very different from one another. By focusing on our common destination rather than on our differences, we can walk together in peace and love and mutual respect. Carl Jung wrote: “Knowing your own darkness is the best method for dealing with the darknesses of other people. One does not become enlightened by imagining figures of light, but by making the darkness conscious. The most terrifying thing is to accept oneself completely. Your visions will become clear only when you can look into your own heart. Who looks outside, dreams; who looks inside, awakes.” This is what Dimash has done with this work; he has made the darkness conscious. We can only raise our individual and collective consciousness by bringing to light what needs to be healed in our lives and our world, and then we need to work together to restore wholeness to what is broken and bring about peace and unity, one step at a time. We don’t have to wait. We can start right now. As the hymn tells us: "Let there peace in the world, and let it begin with me." Baraka Bashad.
Amazing comment. Read the whole thing ❤
Jesus mate, good comment and all, but please use paragraphs (break into different sections) next time.
Like this. it makes it a lot easier to read. Do it whenever you either change subject. It it's all the same subject, be more specific, like starting a new section when you've explained something for the song and then move on to a different thing you wanna explain.
Absolutely beautiful analysis and insight of the most beautiful masterpiece I have ever watched. Danish is an outstanding individual with a gift and talent beyond words, and a beautiful person for using it to promote the most essential things in life.
Thank you so much for posting this.
Thank you friend! I appreciate your time and knowledge.
Gracias por tu reacción a nuestro querido príncipe Dimash. Es imposible ver este vídeo y no llorar !😢 SALUDOS DESDE ARGENTINA 🇦🇷
Beautiful reaction 🤗... we're choosing Life 🤍🤍🤍🤍 a masterpiece 🤍 thanks you...es un grito profundo por la paz 🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️
Amazing, incredible, creative, inspiring, moving, thrilling and mesmerizing masterpiece. And above all very important and furthermore necessary. Only Dimash can deliver such a message in this way.
Gracias por tan hermosa reacción!!! Dimash la canto en su último concierto en su país. Lo hizo en vivo, puedes reaccionar a esa en vivo fue maravilloso. Saludos desde Venezuela. ♥️
Dimash es increíble, grandioso. Una obra maestra que traspasa el Alma... Gracias por compartir tanta emotividad
the film is based on a story written by Dimash with his own screenplay. (I worked on this piece for 3 years). Director Alina Veripya spoke about creating the music video for the new song: the clip is divided into several parts. The first is about childhood. The main character, two friends linked by childhood stories and symbols of eternal friendship. One day the friend saves the protagonist when he drowns. However, there is already competition in these children's story, where the boys love one girl and she chooses one. The second goes through a kind of psychological The disintegration and transformation of children's problems into an adult world of totalitarianism and struggle. When he becomes a commander, the opponent carries the idea of saving the war: the young boy who presents the tokens of friendship he made will marry the girl (Dimash). She will give birth. A baby girl (murdered) and a mother waiting for another baby. Friends were scattered, and the third friend became an enemy, friends are enemies, because of the war, It is shocking how the cry of true helplessness of a father embracing his murdered daughter is practically coupled with the cries of a woman in labor who brings a child into the traumatized world of soldier (Dimash). That he was searching for his family and that he had found the dead body of his daughter and I think believing that his pregnant wife had also died, and felt the death of life, he decides, as the only way out in that moment of uncontrollable pain is revenge. He killed the evil embodied in his opponent, and then was killed by soldiers' bullets. ,and when Dimash died, his son was born, and the mother died during childbirth. But the boy is saved by his society of different religions and races, he wears his mother's talisman. He will surely grow up and become a messenger of peace on earth, like a worthy son of his father.A symbol of a future without evil, without wars, a world moving towards peaceful coexistence. The light of hope and peace on earth,In a world without walls, without unfair constraints, without differences or contempt for different ethnic groups or nations because the supreme value above all is: love and peace We are all human beings, we share the same planet Earth, and we owe each other as "brothers" the respect for life. In the end, he joined with people of different races and religions from another era that touches the present and the future In a world without walls, without unfair constraints, without differences or contempt for different ethnic groups or nations because the supreme value above all is: love and peace We are all human beings, we share the same planet Earth, and we owe each other as "brothers" the respect for life. ,Piper represents the force Totalitarian, oppressor who is not alien to us and who understands that war is the way to make people free (real nonsense).Piper (is the name of a soldier's opponent, a soldier who only hates, annihilates and destroys. What a paradox for a friend who, in his childhood, saves soldier Dimash from drowning. But life is like this, full of changes, good and bad, Evil, war and contempt happen when we lose love for one another, and our way to God and making peace and love in the world is not difficult but possible if we work together for love and peace and stop wars, hate and contempt. It is about calling for cooperation, to save lives, love, friendship and the land of our children. “Art is a sacred message in life, and these are the true artists.. And the earth needs these reformers in their precious, true and immortal work for the sake of love and peace on earth..Thank God for his gifts
Eso no sirve. Es malisima la pelicula. No todos los cantos de Dimash son buenos. Algunos si, y otros no.
Aparte de que Dimash no sirve para bailar y cantar el Rock como Michael Jackson.
Pa' lo que sirve Dimash es para cantar como lo hace, y no para hacer peliculas dramaticas. Una lo hizo con cisnes nadando en el fondo, otra con un angel volando, otra con traje Tuxedo...otra se convirtio en un angel . Pero la pelicula esa es una mierda.
Elizabeth, congratulations on the birth of your child. Children certainly change our hearts and lives. We can be sensitive before having kids, but after… wow! I respect that you made it through this video. Dimash pulled out all the stops and told the story powerfully- vocally and visually. Truly a masterpiece. I torture myself to watch this to see others feel and understand the story along with hearing the incredible musicality of Dimash. The performance (there is a fancam from Almaty as well as the official video from the concert) in Almaty May be visually less disturbing, but every bit as powerful. After a marathon of emotions (and- as always - an intelligent and insightful analysis!), I trust that some serious cuddle time with your child was warranted! Prayers for peace from Canada!
Gracias!!!Es un video con muchos simbolismos y un gran mensaje para la humanidad de nuestro querido Dimash.Saludos para ti y todos los Dears desde Argentina!!!🤗❤🇦🇷Paz🙏
Thank you for reacting to this beautiful song and mv…. Dimash will be my favorite for ever
Thank you for your reaction! 🙌👍👍
This was an emotional hour spent watching you react to The Story of One Sky. Every time I watch it I am overwhelmed. Bravo Elizabeth for making it through to the end. I didn't hear you recognize that Dimash was the main character in the video playing the part of the soldier. I believe there is nothing Dimash cannot do if he sets his mind to it. Looking forward to watching his future unfold. All the best.
I totally wasn't expecting you to react to this, or even necessarily to Dimash again. I'm so happy!
Well, I came in late to this, my first listen of Dimash. You did very well, Elizabeth and yes, my heart spilled over, as well. Your heart is strong and like adrenaline, Women can find strength inside and persevere through most anything. Not saying it is easy sometimes to see what is happening under "one sky". Thanks for Sharing and find your family for big "squeezes"!
Saludos de Panamá 🇵🇦😘.
En verdad que a Dimash no se le puede hacer otra cosa que amar. Amarlo mil veces por ser tan pero tan bello por todo lo que hace.
Please don't apologize for having feelings. We can give you time when you need it.
I don't know how you produced this video without tears. I can't watch it without tears. Dimash so clearly presented the division of childhood loves caused by war and the hope of future by birth of another innocent child. His vocal abilities are only exceeded by his ability to present difficult issues dramatically.
magnifique...spectaculaire....un vrai chef-d'oeuvre....merci pour votre réaction
Hello friend, thanks for sharing your reaction. This is from Dimash's official page in the video description: "Dimash Qudaibergen's 12-minute work is dedicated to the unity of the peoples of our planet. We are divided into races, nations and religions, but all We are children of the same planet and we live under the same sky.
No holy book calls for the destruction of people. We must learn to be friends; it is impossible for a few adults to make millions of children suffer. The future of our planet, the future of people is in our hands, may there be peace in the world. We are children of a single home, of a single earth and of a single sky."
May this message reach many people
We are millions of Dears and "We choose life"
From Ecuador
Love your expressions
When I saw the video for the first time I couldn't stop crying because it expresses all my world pain.
Thanks for the great analysis, I was hoping that one day you would view this work of art with us.
The boy who played the savior became the dictator, the saved child then became Dimash the soldier, the young girl became his wife. The child that perished was their daughter, and the newborn was their son. The son was the hope for the future and Dimash in the end was the grown up son walking the path of peace.
Yes, as you have recognized, the video is intended to show the cruelty and senselessness of war. Perfect cycle of violence up to the act of revenge at the end.
This should not be our way, we should choose life.
Excelente análisis, como siempre acertada y simpática.
Te dejo mi cariño desde Chile 🇨🇱😁💓
I am happy to see you reacting to this brilliant masterpiece.

Such a great analysis Liz! Loved this review thank you for supporting this amazing artist that we are so so lucky God has given us in our world!
Спасибо Вам за великолепную реакцию! Я счастлива, что Вы поняли каждый нюанс этого видео и по достоинству оценили талант Димаша. Не только как певца, но и как талантливого актера и сценариста! Потому, что сценарий к этому видео Димаш написал сам!
Magnifica reaction 👏👏👏👏👏👏💯💯💯💯 Grazie mille 🍀🍀🍀🌏🌎🌍🍀🍀🍀🇮🇹
Can only watch once but listen to it hundred of times 😉 the song is soo good, the live performance of the song from almaty concert is also nice, the audio only version is also got nice arrangement and cuts. One of my top favourite song for the last year.
@The Charismatic Voice🌻 ,you deserve thanks for not only reacting to new artists to you but, introducing alot of us from all sorts of musical backgrounds to new sounds and adventures. 😎 this was amazing and I was missing out on something special
I am surprised you didnt note how him bringing so many different musical styles together kind of parallels his desire to bring different people together. Dimash is amazing and so are you. Please keep bringing us content. I would love to see you review his first live performance of this.
Thank God for your safety. I wish you health and wellness. I am following you from Algeria.
Your reaction is wonderful
Thank you so much for doing this one! I've been hoping and waiting for your analysis ever since this came out!
Я буквально умываюсь слезами, когда смотрю и слушаю этот фильм. Потрясающая выдержка! Но я уверена, что как только выключили камеру, ты заплакала.
Спасибо! Спасибо за профессиональный разбор и искреннее восхищение!

Congratulations on being a mother. It does change you in many ways xx
Its perfectly fine you are overwhelmed, its the same for me. We get that feeling because it is the purpose of this video, he wants to bring out your empathy and sadness of how emotional and painful it must be to go a similar situation ourselves. Dimash and the whole production have done their job well. BTW, this is my 1st time ever hearing Dimash. Amazing vocals! I did myself a favor, I watched the whole video 1st, and had to wait for while to listen to your reaction, because of the strentgh of its content. I value your reaction enough I made myself watch along with you. Bless you, your baby, and hubby.
Thanks Elizabeth for how you are....... a really exciting reaction !!!😊🔝👏🏻
Gracias por tu emocional reacción ver y escuchar a Dimash ❤en vivo en Almaty es indescriptible cuando interpreto The Story of One Sky fue increíble
I love your channel, Elizabeth! You bring such a rich combination of feeling, musical insights and vocal analysis. Your words at the end resonate so much with me. My focus for my channel is that Music Lights the World and brings us all together into a community of love and peace. Bravo to you for striving for the same end with your efforts. You are succeeding and I'm sure you're a great mother. My kids are all pretty much grown but I feel the same heightened concern when children are in danger or negatively impacted. I have reacted to close to 40 of Dimash's performances as well and this one hit especially hard. What a visual, vocal and universally impactful masterpiece. All the best to you and your family and your wonderful channel.
A human masterpiece amazingly singing a masterpiece written by himself. Art at the highest level
Thanks for this reaction ❤️
A hug from Italy 🇮🇹
Dimash's son inherited the earthly mission to work for peace while Dimash entered the spiritual world to continue the efforts together with the saints from all faiths who came before.
YES! That's exactly what I got too!
Now that’s what I was waiting for 👏🏻 you couldn’t analyze it better.
