Megan Markle is prince Harry wife. She has black grandparents and she got great hair. But point is that it is satirical criticism of society today and globalism where people are obsessed with fake celebrity appearance and their own appearance while ignoring mental health.
how is that important that Meghan has black grandparents? Konstrakta can be anything but racist and that trivia about Megan is so irrelevant for this song. Megan Markle can have Martian grandparents for that matter, she is just an example used for In corpore sano song. Konstrakta get inspiration from the everyday life and use it for satire. There was an article in magazine about secret of Meghan's hair, so people tend to care more about looking as celebrities (any celebrity) rather than care of themselves. There is another song where she is wondering how she can go through life without having a shaman (satire again based on popular trends in modern society)
@@GracieReacts Mens sana in corpore sano (A sound mind in a sound body). The point artist is trying to make is that news media write and talk about health, supplements, diet, beauty, exercising, giving advice on how to monitor health by signs on ones face, hair and skin... Meghan Markle was mentioned because in media there was an article about most important issue for the survival of life on our planet, her hair. According to media, woman has to be beautiful, artist has to be beautiful and healthy otherwise can not succeed. And artist asks: What about "Mens sana" part? Media do not care about state of mind, peoples spirit, mental health. To the contrary. Fake news, all sorts of lies (Serbians are especially sensitive because they were and still are victims of media warfare for over three decades) are there to make us total idiots, ignorant about what really is happening around us, spreading belief that nuclear war can be won or that Putin is going to back down if enough pressure he is under, unaware of how close we are of destroying our home, Earth. Read lyrics carefully several times, and pay attention to lyrics at the end: "A sick mind in a healthy body A sad soul in a healthy body A desperate mind in a healthy body A terrified mind in a healthy body" Celebrities appear beautiful, healthy and they are successful. Than, unexpectedly, they commit a suicide. Whitney Houston, Robin Williams, Anthony Bourdain... Whole stage is a metaphor. She represents health system which washes hands (denies responsibility). Pontius Pilate washed his hands before the multitude, saying, I am innocent of the blood of this just person (Jesus). He was washing his hands of the responsibility. "Metallic voices" and robotic movements with hands represent estrangement - dehumanization. During performance there's no emotion on her face. She is like robot. She walks her dog. That is another sign of estrangement, proof that our civilization is on verge of extinction. It is sad that dog became man's "best friend". I remember times (I am 67) when my best friends walked on two legs (and without leash - covid pass or passport). Music is, also, descriptive. After "I do not have health insurance" there is GP and rhythm (heart beat) stops (heart sinks "into her feet") there is a "cuckoo" musical effect symbolising psychotic episode - travel to "parallel - alternative world", something like "alternative truth" as Donald Trump said. This is the moment when she realizes: "How will they be able to keep track of me"? Chorus sings: "In the name of health". Brilliant. Great construct, Konstrakta. Congratulations. At the end there is sequence of semi-tone steps upward in music called "tonal jump" used to elevate tension towards climax: "So, now what"? Which I understood as "We are all nuts". But most have never been diagnosed. Obsession with health and beauty is a sign of illness. Sigmund Freud
Konstrakta to the top. Brilliant performance and art. The song has many messages and truths. She totally dares to be different from all others at ESC. Total respect 🙏 👏 🥰👏👏👏👍❤
Konstrakta's song is part two out of three that form a piece called "Triptih". Her performance has nothing to do with Megan Markle, hydration, politics or covid, it's performance art that is intelligent, quirky and constructed from top to bottom to perfection. It's not weird nor funny, it's art. It's created to make people stop and think about life for a second, it's there to provoke, not to soothe or kill time. In those three songs she's describing a life of grown woman in Serbia, and likely in this World. First part "Noble" is talking about society labels as "be emancipated", "speak foreign language", "know peculiar information about places you never visited" where the chorus is describing the sad reality that she is all alone, looking at the mirror, crying and thinking about a headline in magazine "Sharon Stone does not take botox" meaning, oh she must be as ordinary as me - a masterpiece song. Second part "In corpore sano" describes a woman after reading a woman magazine with a clickbait title "What's the secret of random celebrity perfect health?" (in this case she chose Megan Markle, but any name works). Very often in those magazines you "find out" that some skin imperfection might be there due to poor health of some of your internal organs, i.e spleen, gut or liver. Verse "enlarged spleen is not good, not pretty" is trying to say "not only I may be sick, I am ugly too!" and it really describes a transition young woman go through in early middle age (Konstrakta is 43, mother of two), when beauty standard obsession is getting substituted by health obsession. So she frantically and compulsively starts singing "be healthy, be healthy, be healthy ..." and song just gets better, she becomes grateful for autonomic nervous system and how body takes care of itself, but paranoia kicks again "be healthy, be healthy, be healthy", she prays to God, even that is not enough. Than a sudden stop in rhythm where she is faced with possibility that she might stop belonging to the system (i.e not have public health insurance), how will she be taken care of? Song finale is self - revelation where Latin proverb is twisted to say that although your body will end up healthy after all paranoia, your mind will become sad, sick, desperate and frightened. This song resonates with every single woman and man in Serbia in their 40s because that is exactly how life looks at that age. It's all about being healthy at any cost, while completely neglecting mental health. It's sad that subtitles are not available on the Eurosong, because this song has nothing to do with politics, nothing to do with Megan Markle (apart as critique to mass media), and absolutely nothing to do with covid situation - it's a universal, intelligently packed recap of middle age life. Third part "Mekano" which translates as "Soft", although better translation would be "Limp", talks about everyday life and the way people live in their 40s. You work, you eat, you repeat same patterns day to day, while trying to belong to "intellectual elite" by discussing about neoliberalism, being individual and original, while in truth you are just dying out in your "comfort zone". Chorus "mekano, nek je prokleto" translates "soft should be cursed" meaning "curse the comfort zone", and this song is insanely strong due to its melody, it sounds soothing and like something you'd listen to fall asleep. This perfectly describes someone stuck in the comfort zone, you are stuck, you know you are stuck, you curse it, but your voice is still numbed, slowed and soothing. Exactly how comfort zone and depression feel like. Masterpiece.
🇷🇸❤❤ Thank you very much for your job for representation of the our Serbian song. You have 12 points from me ! Konstrakta is the best ! God give us all health and a healthy soul !
Those who are confused why is she talking about the spleen, think for a second: You open a random woman's magazine, what will you find in there? There'll be an article title "What's the secret of (enter random celebrity name) good health/looks?", followed by countless "health" advices, diets that are often claiming that your surface imperfections are coming from one of your organ's health. Sometimes it's the liver, sometimes your gut, and sometimes the spleen. This song is absolutely brilliant. The bit where she is saying that she doesn't have health insurance, and "others" can't follow in my opinion, really hits the spot, because after years of hearing countless health advices you become paranoid, and that song bit illustrates middle age paranoia. Someone is following you, countless targeted ads are recommending this and that, why can't you be left alone? That's really the point. The ending in Latin is pretty clear: After following and adhering every advice you found, followed with paranoia to always be "germless" (hence the hand washing), you are now perfectly healthy. But what about you mental health? So much depth in just 3 minutes. Truly a masterpiece. PS: To understand even more from this song, listen to triptih. This song is the second of the three. First song talks about mediocre life, obsessed with labels and lifestyle people are following i.e study foreign language, know everything about remote places that you never visited and read a woman magazine where a famous actress is as ordinary as you, second song (this one) is about obsession with health and the final song is about "acting" to be a part of intellectual elite in the society, while actually you are just stuck deep in the comfort zone and your soul is just dying out. PPS: Also to add a side note, she is an architect by profession and mother of two. She's been doing alternative music for nearly 20 years, checkout her youngster days from this interview: ua-cam.com/video/o5YTtysl4MU/v-deo.html PPPS: Why in Latin? Well, for some odd reason, a lot of high schools in Serbia teach Latin as foundation of most European languages. Thus many in Serbia are familiar with famous Latin proverbs.
Thanks for these fantastic words about our Konstrakta, I have been following her for a long time, she is a singer in a bend Zemlja Gruva (a land of groove), and recently has started her own carreier but still is in the bend, at least she said do. The song is incredibly deep, and I may add that people in the world are hungry for good content on music....thanks for this insightfull comment and greeting s from Belgrade, Serbia.

I love the Eurovision Song Contest, it`s cheesy, it`s fun and it`s worth an evening of crisps, chocolate, a take away and laughing at the tv, the UK is usually in the bottom 3 but who cares,,, KAAABOOOOOOOOOOM
Let me help you to understand this deep mind song (i just make copy from some other ppl better than i am in english): Act one - ROUTINE We waste our time following celebrities and other people's lives, and discuss about them, about nonsense through the social networks (what is the secret of healthy hair Megan Markl). It's going even deeper. This became normal behaviours and it is compared with health, healthy behaviour. So, expectation is that artress also must be part of this "normal behaviours" (MUST be healthy). Act two - LONELINESS We are now part of this routines, some system control our fundamental functions (heart ticking and breathing), we are alive, in virtual world and it's OK. But we are alone. No children, no friends, only dog. We are walking satisfied but without sense, with empty mind (counting steps, and that's all). Act three - COGNITION Knjižica in Serbian is not only social security, but it's also symbol of belonging to some system or organisation as a member What if I am not a member? If I'm out of system? We will lost our followers, others will not monitor us anymore (what was normal, healthy), nobody will "care" about us, or organize our life (what was normal, healthy), and artress become invisible when she is out of system. Act four - WAKING UP The absence of system influence artress see like a magic, becouse it means independence, so she CAN be healthy, with open mind, according to Latin saying "men sana in corpore sano" (healthy mind in healthy body). Can be, can be, can be. conclusion - WHAT'S ABOUT MIND? Everything is about body condition (corpore sano, corpore sano, corpus is sano - and body is healthy), but no one talks about the state of mind. So, she mentions those states of mind and ask: And what shell we do?
Zaista odlična analiza. Pesma ima mnogoznacnu i vaznu poruku a istovremeno i dobar ritam i vrlo je prijemciva za uho. Za mene je ona pobednik. Toliko je originalna i svoja odavno ne cuh ovako nesto!
@@deanamitrovic7311 Slažem se, ali i mislim da takva pesma u današnje vreme ne samo da ne može već neće ni dopustiti da pobedi. Previše je ta pesma rekla, pa kud još i da im cele ove godine ponavlja...
Da to je upravo srž koju su mnogi prepoznali msm oni koji vide bolje i dublje " .To je neka osnovna poruka(e) a svakim novim slušanjem frekvencija te ponovo inpirise i otkriva nove poglede , nove dimenzije.U svakom slucaju bravo za izvođaca i pesmu jer ona je poslala poruku i uspela u tome da je shvate ili zavole mulioni bez obzira na plasman ona je POBEDNIK .
Who is Meghan Markle?! You are so happy, girl! Come back for a few years when you got older. This song has deeper meaning. it is not to be expected that youths understand ... enjoy in your youth
Sveobuhvatna kritika globalne psihoze opsednotošću zdravljem, lepotom, telom, trivijalnostima i sigurnošću, koja vodi do bolesnog uma u "zdravom telu". Urađena na fenomenalan način. Remek delo.
Lyrics may seem a bit silly at first, they are actually dead serious. There are so many layers to the song and a lot of space for different interpretations: The name of the song "In corpore sano" is in Latin and means "In a healthy body". It’s referring to the Latin saying "Mens sana in corpore sano" meaning "A healthy mind in a healthy body". - First: What is the secret to Meghan Markle's healthy hair? This is a reference to modern society's obsession with beauty! That's what beauty magazines do/they create insecurities about your hair, skin, weight, etc., and then advertise products that promise to change that. That's what the second line of the song is about "I think that the secret is in deep hydration" - Second: Konstrakta talks about how our skin and hair often signal some health issues, for example, liver and spleen problems. The reason she is thinking this is because she's worried about her own health, she can't visit a doctor for a check-up or get treatment because she doesn't have insurance, this is so important because independent artists in Serbia don't have health insurance. - Third: Then we hear her saying how an artist must be healthy, a reference to Marina Abramovic’s (internationally known Serbian performance artist) performances called “Art must be pretty, an artist must be pretty” where she sits for hours combing her hair while repeating that cause she realized people focused a lot on her looks and her hair being messy and prioritized that over her art, and the reason she needs to be healthy is that she can't afford to get treatment. - Fourth: the "Autonomic nervous system" part talks about how we don't need to control our own heartbeats. She describes how she walks her dog, on a beautiful summer day, her heart beats on its own, it doesn't need to get any better. She just puts her trust in her heart hoping it won't fail her (if it does fail her then that's it, the doctors won't help her and she made peace with that), and that's why she prays to God, "God give us health". - Fifth: She then says "I DON'T HAVE THE HEALTH INSURANCE!" (Even with "free" health insurance we are still paying a lot for medications, fees, etc. We are always paying insurance through salaries, for both employed and unemployed, and if you don't have "free" health insurance, you are paying way more, which is a situation with independent artists in Serbia.) - Sixth: Phrase "Boze zdravlja"/"God grant us health". This is a common saying, we use it all the time, and you will always hear people wishing other people good health (for their birthday, or really any holiday) because everything else (money, fame, love...) becomes meaningless if you are ill and in pain. She then says, the artist (she) is invisible, you can't see me, it's magic because she is invisible to health care, they won't treat her! - Seventh: Now, last part, it's basically the old Latin saying: Mens sana in corpore sano (A healthy mind in a healthy body), except that Konstrakta makes it clear that only the body is healthy, the soul inside is desperate, we are all obsessed with improving our health, we try to eat better, be more active, take all those expensive drugs and supplements, but what about our mind? Mens infirma in corpore sano - Weak mind in a healthy body Animus tristis in corpore sano - A sad soul in a healthy body Mens desperata in corpore sano - Desperate mind in a healthy body Mens conterrita in corpore sano - A frightened mind in a healthy body The endless chanting of the mantra about a healthy body is destroyed by enumerating the weaknesses of the mind and soul from which no health can be born. The final verse of the song "and what are we going to do now" is a jargon of common sense cold shower which was poured over the mass media propaganda about a healthy body without a healthy mind and soul, after making that clear she asks us - So what do we do now? Now about the handwashing: 1) She is dressed in white, she symbolizes the health care system (she reminds us of a nurse for example) and she is washing her hands. Why? Because of covid? NO! It is a metaphor about how health care workers need to "wash their hands off" meaning clear their conscience when they refuse to treat you because you don't have insurance. Just like when Pontius Pilate washed his hands before the crucifixion of Jesus - he tried to clear his conscience and make it clear that he wasn't the one who killed Jesus - it was the Law. In the same way, many people in the government or in positions are washing their hands off and can't help you because of the Law. 2) People standing behind her can be priests that pray for her health and/or are getting ready for her to die.
she sings about people becoming hypochondriacs in terms of health. due to the current situation due to covid 19 people exaggerate and this makes their soul, spirit, sick

Konstrakta's song is part two out of three that form a piece called "Triptih". Her performance has nothing to do with Megan Markle, hydration, politics or covid, it's performance art that is intelligent, quirky and constructed from top to bottom to perfection. It's not weird nor funny, it's art. It's created to make people stop and think about life for a second, it's there to provoke, not to soothe or kill time.
In those three songs she's describing a life of grown woman in Serbia, and likely in this World.

Very often in those magazines you "find out" that some skin imperfection might be there due to poor health of some of your internal organs, i.e spleen, gut or liver.

Chorus "mekano, nek je prokleto" translates "soft should be cursed" meaning "curse the comfort zone", and this song is insanely strong due to its melody, it sounds soothing and like something you'd listen to fall asleep. This perfectly describes someone stuck in the comfort zone, you are stuck, you know you are stuck, you curse it, but your voice is still numbed, slowed and soothing. Exactly how comfort zone and depression feel like.

Let me help you to understand this deep mind song (i just make copy from some other ppl better than i am in english):
Act one - ROUTINE We waste our time following celebrities and other people's lives, and discuss about them, about nonsense through the social networks (what is the secret of healthy hair Megan Markl). It's going even deeper. This became normal behaviours and it is compared with health, healthy behaviour. So, expectation is that artress also must be part of this "normal behaviours" (MUST be healthy).
Act two - LONELINESS We are now part of this routines, some system control our fundamental functions (heart ticking and breathing), we are alive, in virtual world and it's OK. But we are alone. No children, no friends, only dog. We are walking satisfied but without sense, with empty mind (counting steps, and that's all).
Act three - COGNITION Knjižica in Serbian is not only social security, but it's also symbol of belonging to some system or organisation as a member What if I am not a member? If I'm out of system? We will lost our followers, others will not monitor us anymore (what was normal, healthy), nobody will "care" about us, or organize our life (what was normal, healthy), and artress become invisible when she is out of system.
Act four - WAKING UP The absence of system influence artress see like a magic, becouse it means independence, so she CAN be healthy, with open mind, according to Latin saying "men sana in corpore sano" (healthy mind in healthy body). Can be, can be, can be.
conclusion - WHAT'S ABOUT MIND? Everything is about body condition (corpore sano, corpore sano, corpus is sano - and body is healthy), but no one talks about the state of mind. So, she mentions those states of mind and ask: And what shell we do?
Svaka čast na detaljnoj analizi. Nisam se toliko udubljivao u značenje. Kad bolje razmislim pesma je stvarno umetničko delo
Zaista odlična analiza. Pesma ima mnogoznacnu i vaznu poruku a istovremeno i dobar ritam i vrlo je prijemciva za uho.
Za mene je ona pobednik. Toliko je originalna i svoja odavno ne cuh ovako nesto!
@@deanamitrovic7311 Slažem se, ali i mislim da takva pesma u današnje vreme ne samo da ne može već neće ni dopustiti da pobedi. Previše je ta pesma rekla, pa kud još i da im cele ove godine ponavlja...
Da to je upravo srž koju su mnogi prepoznali msm oni koji vide bolje i dublje " .To je neka osnovna poruka(e) a svakim novim slušanjem frekvencija te ponovo inpirise i otkriva nove poglede , nove dimenzije.U svakom slucaju bravo za izvođaca i pesmu jer ona je poslala poruku i uspela u tome da je shvate ili zavole mulioni bez obzira na plasman ona je POBEDNIK .
Bravo za analizu, prava umetnost na delu, svet je zeljan sadrzaja ..preterase sa ispraznom muzikom..
Who is Meghan Markle?! You are so happy, girl!
Come back for a few years when you got older. This song has deeper meaning. it is not to be expected that youths understand ... enjoy in your youth
You are so sweet 🌝
Wow
Sveobuhvatna kritika globalne psihoze opsednotošću zdravljem, lepotom, telom, trivijalnostima i sigurnošću, koja vodi do bolesnog uma u "zdravom telu". Urađena na fenomenalan način. Remek delo.
The best song

Listen to her songs in the band Zemlja gruva!
Nice reaction! Keep it up! Can you please react to Romania's song "WRS - Llamame"?
Serbia
I speaak original lenguage. In my opinion everything is massively ironic
Neam knjizicu😄😄
It is an anti-globalist song.
Lyrics may seem a bit silly at first, they are actually dead serious. There are so many layers to the song and a lot of space for different interpretations:
The name of the song "In corpore sano" is in Latin and means "In a healthy body". It’s referring to the Latin saying "Mens sana in corpore sano" meaning "A healthy mind in a healthy body".
- First: What is the secret to Meghan Markle's healthy hair? This is a reference to modern society's obsession with beauty! That's what beauty magazines do/they create insecurities about your hair, skin, weight, etc., and then advertise products that promise to change that. That's what the second line of the song is about "I think that the secret is in deep hydration"
- Second: Konstrakta talks about how our skin and hair often signal some health issues, for example, liver and spleen problems. The reason she is thinking this is because she's worried about her own health, she can't visit a doctor for a check-up or get treatment because she doesn't have insurance, this is so important because independent artists in Serbia don't have health insurance.
- Third: Then we hear her saying how an artist must be healthy, a reference to Marina Abramovic’s (internationally known Serbian performance artist) performances called “Art must be pretty, an artist must be pretty” where she sits for hours combing her hair while repeating that cause she realized people focused a lot on her looks and her hair being messy and prioritized that over her art, and the reason she needs to be healthy is that she can't afford to get treatment.
- Fourth: the "Autonomic nervous system" part talks about how we don't need to control our own heartbeats. She describes how she walks her dog, on a beautiful summer day, her heart beats on its own, it doesn't need to get any better. She just puts her trust in her heart hoping it won't fail her (if it does fail her then that's it, the doctors won't help her and she made peace with that), and that's why she prays to God, "God give us health".
- Fifth: She then says "I DON'T HAVE THE HEALTH INSURANCE!" (Even with "free" health insurance we are still paying a lot for medications, fees, etc. We are always paying insurance through salaries, for both employed and unemployed, and if you don't have "free" health insurance, you are paying way more, which is a situation with independent artists in Serbia.)
- Sixth: Phrase "Boze zdravlja"/"God grant us health". This is a common saying, we use it all the time, and you will always hear people wishing other people good health (for their birthday, or really any holiday) because everything else (money, fame, love...) becomes meaningless if you are ill and in pain. She then says, the artist (she) is invisible, you can't see me, it's magic because she is invisible to health care, they won't treat her!
- Seventh: Now, last part, it's basically the old Latin saying: Mens sana in corpore sano (A healthy mind in a healthy body), except that Konstrakta makes it clear that only the body is healthy, the soul inside is desperate, we are all obsessed with improving our health, we try to eat better, be more active, take all those expensive drugs and supplements, but what about our mind?
Mens infirma in corpore sano - Weak mind in a healthy body
Animus tristis in corpore sano - A sad soul in a healthy body
Mens desperata in corpore sano - Desperate mind in a healthy body
Mens conterrita in corpore sano - A frightened mind in a healthy body
The endless chanting of the mantra about a healthy body is destroyed by enumerating the weaknesses of the mind and soul from which no health can be born. The final verse of the song "and what are we going to do now" is a jargon of common sense cold shower which was poured over the mass media propaganda about a healthy body without a healthy mind and soul, after making that clear she asks us - So what do we do now?
Now about the handwashing:
1) She is dressed in white, she symbolizes the health care system (she reminds us of a nurse for example) and she is washing her hands. Why? Because of covid? NO! It is a metaphor about how health care workers need to "wash their hands off" meaning clear their conscience when they refuse to treat you because you don't have insurance. Just like when Pontius Pilate washed his hands before the crucifixion of Jesus - he tried to clear his conscience and make it clear that he wasn't the one who killed Jesus - it was the Law. In the same way, many people in the government or in positions are washing their hands off and can't help you because of the Law.
2) People standing behind her can be priests that pray for her health and/or are getting ready for her to die.
Very professional expertise and analysis

"SKYWARD"
Darling she is talking about health but what about mental health she is wondering
ua-cam.com/video/J3cXjrJEgpE/v-deo.html Italiano version
she sings about people becoming hypochondriacs in terms of health. due to the current situation due to covid 19 people exaggerate and this makes their soul, spirit, sick
You miss the point like more than mile away!!!
Look PZE 2022 zorja,sara jo 👋
I thought the song was a comment to the lack of artists not having social security in serbia.
