Спасибо вам. Действительно это удивительное видео, ужасающее своей правдой, смелостью и откровенностью, но вместе с тем потрясающее, потому что многие стараются абстрагироваться от происходящего, как будто если об этом не говорить, то этого и не существует.... А Димаш не побоялся, он в каждой нотке кричит, заставляет нас услышать как ужасно когда творится такое, вместе с ним мы переживаем эту боль и все, до кого дошло это послание не останутся равнодушными
Dimash sang this song live for the very first time at a concert organised for the 7th Congress of Leaders of World and Traditional Religions in Nur-Sultan, Kazakhstan, in September 2022. He got a standing ovation from the attendees and delegates. Pope Francis awarded Dimash with a commemorative medal during the event.
Thank you my friend! Thank you for your sincere reaction! Have you noticed that Dimash is the main solder right from the very beginning of the war scene, when he was shot in the arm, many people miss that? When I first watched this MV, it broke me, I became very emotional, it was heart wrenching, to say the least!😢 Dimash has worked very hard for 3 years composing the music for this song, and around 20 days to make this MV. It turned out to be his most valuable MV, in the ideological sense, ever made, a real Masterpiece! I believe that Dimash deserves THE NOBEL PEACE PRIZE for his selfless hard work and tireless efforts, not only for this MV, but for trying to bring the world together in love, peace and harmony, through his music, MVs and many charities he dedicates his time to. He is a Legend and will go down in History. The mini movie is full of symbolisms, it's the story of 3 youths, and the necklace which was made by the young Dimash and shared with his friends symbolizing lifelong friendship and unity. The Piper grew up and started a war, using the symbol of the necklace as the crest on his army uniform. This is my breakdown of the story, as I see it: 1) Dimash, who was drowning at the beginning and at the end. 2) The Piper, the one who saved Dimash, and who became the leader, and who was killed by Dimash at the end. 3) The young girl, who died in childbirth, became Dimash’s future wife, had two children together; a daughter who was killed by the Piper's army; and the birth of a son at the end, who inherited the necklace from her mother…, they were all torn by the war. For the symbolic aspects, Dimash is showing the different cultures and religions (Christianity, Judaism, Islam, Buddhism, Hindi, etc.), through throat singing, which is called the REQUIEM (mass for the souls of the dead), from different religions. The Pilgrim, Shepard or Wise Man at the end of the video was Dimash’s newborn son, born in his image and grows up to guide the Representatives of different religions and race from different Nations to the light, for a new beginning living together in peace, tolerance, love and harmony. I’m choosing life!!🙏🙏 See you in your next reaction. Love from Canada 💖
I thought it was young Dimash who saved his friend who became the one who started the war. In my mind by the older dimash killing him it seemed just since he was the one who had saved him. I could be way off base though.
Yes, Dimash gave his friends the necklace as an appreciation for saving his life and as his life long friendships. Unfortunately, when Dimash's friend was rejected by the girls o the beach in the beginning, he was resentful and took a different path in life. Notice that Dimash's friend never wore the necklance and you saw it on the podium when they first showed him speaking at the podium!. Thank you for your comment and your thoughts. 🤗
💥35K people from 68 countries💥came together in love, in solidarity, in peace in an Almaty, KZ stadium on 9-23-22 for the 4 hour concert (31 songs, I'm told) given by the young Kazakh musician whose divine voice touches souls & changes hearts. Below please read the brief speech that DQ gave to the audience before singing his newest composition, "The Story of One Sky." Sending this to you & yours, Dear, with Much Love & In Solidarity while Praying for Peace. "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." ua-cam.com/video/IH7hhSw6CfU/v-deo.html
Thank you for your heart felt reaction though it is a painful one. Dimash loves loves all people, all nations, all religions.... and his message that we all live in this world together under the same sky. Our hearts should not be devided by borders and idiologies. A very small amount of people dictate (pipers) what happens to the rest of us and how they think we should kill or hurt each other. Dimash asks us to choose life and do not follow these false pipers that lead so many to slaughter or distruction. This old lady loves Dimash as if he is her own son and am so grateful for his gifts and strength to use his gift to try to make the world a better version of itself. Bless this amaising young man,,, His family that loved him, raised him and then shared him with the world,,,, Peace from Canada
Thank You, GAZ, for your heartfelt Reaction. 🙏🙏🙏💗💗💗 This film meant Everything to Dimash. His personal statement to the World, and opening of Dialogue on these serious subjects. Genius.
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!!!!!
This song is perfection both emotionally and vocally. To me, and I'm sure to many, it's the best thing anyone has ever sung and recorded, and the most valuable. There may still be questions about why so many people believe that Dimash is the best? I don't know, maybe only a robot will be emotionless after watching and listening to this video. This is a masterpiece of the century that will remain in history. #songofcentury #thebestuniquegeniussinger
Спасибо большое за вашу эмоциональную реакцию!Спасибо большое ДИМАШУ за этот видеошедевр,за этот посыл человечеству!!!За его огромнейший труд и вклад!Всем Мира и ясного неба над головой!!!❤❤❤❤
So beautiful, so painful, so true of what's happening in our world. This message is so powerful. Dimash said not so long ago, we haven't seen anything yet and that he is different... I think he is so brave and don't know of any other artist who would put their soul beliefs out for all the world to see. He spent 3 years composing this and wrote the script. No doubt had a major hand in the lyrics too. He always credits people for their input. I've been a Dear for nearly 4 years and I can say with hand on my heart I will follow him and support him in everything he does. He is a blessing in these troubled times. Thank you so much for sharing your reaction. I could see how it affected you. ❤️😔❤️
DIMASH is fantastic. This video is a masterpiece. He has sent an important message to our humanity. We must choose Life and Love ❤️. The lyrics are deep and powerful. Thank you for the great reaction. Greetings from VIETNAM 🇻🇳.
Absolutely Amazing DIMASH FENOMENAL ARTIST DIMASH THE BEST DIMASH SUPER STAR DIMASH MAGNIFICENT SINGER FANTASTIC SONG⭐⭐👏👏FENOMENAL MASTERPIECE⭐⭐👏THANK YOU VERY MUCH
These are my views on this amazing masterpiece The Story of One Sky - I have watched this many times and still find things out that i never thought of amazing video and i have said it before if anyone could bring peace i strongly believe Dimash could make it possible. This needs to be shared worldwide to show people there is another way. War is never the answer because the only ones to suffer are the innocent. Rewatched the song of Dimash today one line stood out to me One of the most profound lines in The Story of One Sky is the line "Learn to share the love, Not shares" Not shares meaning stop making money out of war rich people have many shares in companies that profit from weapon manufacturing making them richer while the innocent suffer sadly this is why war exists. MONEY, GREED and POWER. The part in the video with the little girl and the people in the hallway were Dimash's family who had been wiped out the little girl whose body he picked up was his daughter, the baby that was born was his son who grew up to be Dimash grown up at the end!!! The Dimash at the end can also be seen as Dimash in the afterlife leading others to the light in peace. This video needs to be shown worldwide. Something else i noticed is in his dying breath he sang (We're Choosing Life) as he finally passed away now that is powerful
This Painful Masterpiece is Dimash’s soul pleading to the World. I have no words, as my heart, body and soul are aching for Dimash. I believe Dimash Qudaibergen Has thousands of souls in him. How can one young man be so in tune in everything he does. His passion for The world, his country, his parents, his siblings, his friends, and especially his music is extraordinary !!! We are all so blessed to be a part of his outstanding journey!!I am so proud to be a Dear!! 💐💐❤️❤️ Thank you Dimash, for staying true to yourself! Thanks for sharing your thoughts and reaction!!! We’re Choosing Life!
Thank you for your reaction, I was waiting for it because I know how you appreciate Dimash. When I saw your emotion at the beginning of the song, I wondered how you would endure the rest of the song... This music video is the message of Dimash to the world, and he said how difficult and painful the creation was for him. When we know how peace, respect and life are important to him, we can imagine it. In these difficult days, where countries are in war at our borders in Europe, this message is more important than ever. As Dimash said in several occasions, so many people are suffering because of the craziness of a few leaders. You should react to his live performance in Almaty (Sept 2022): the way he performed is out of this world, the most powerful musical moment of my life. There is a good fancam of the Vietnamese fan club and Dimash also said that the concert should be released shortly. Dimash is the next level, not only because he is the best singer ever but also because he uses his insane talent to promote strong values. This masterpiece should be broadcast all around the world.
That is the grandiose and impressive result of three years of compositional work by Dimash Qudaibergen. This clip is not about war, it’s about peace. War here is a means of expressing the contrast of what happens when we lose love for one another. It is about the call to unite, to stop dividing each other along national, social, religious lines in order to preserve life, love, friendship, and the land for our children. (Requiem means: Funeral, Funeral Mass, Funeral Service) Story: The clip is divided into several parts. The first is about childhood. The main character and his 2 friends are linked in eternal friendship through childhood stories and a symbol (necklace). One day, the friend saves the protagonist when he is drowning. However, there is already competition in this children's story as the boys are in love with the girl and she chooses 'Dimash'. The pendant is a gnomon, the shadow hand of a sundial, which also served as a sea compass before antiquity. Uniform wearers wear this symbol on their heads. So it can't work. The second experiences a kind of nervous breakdown and transfers the children's problems into the world of adult totalitarianism and struggle. By becoming President, the antagonist (Piper - in reference to the 'Pied Piper of Hamelin') carries within himself the idea of a war to save: “Only war will lead us to peace. Only the strongest can find love in their hearts. You must be strong enough to give freedom to the world. A world where every city, every home is one. We will guide all who are ready to start this new life. Anyone who resists has no business with us. I choose freedom. The world is open to me and I want to give it to you. War for the people is the way to unity.” The main character also speaks of unity, of peace, but through the lens of kindness and love. While fighting, he is confused, he is in shock, but he has to save his family - his pregnant wife (the very girl from his childhood) and his daughter. Once home, he is horrified by the picture of the dead and realizes that his family is also dead. After surviving this drama, he moves on to the antagonist to seek revenge. However, the Protagonist’s wife survives with the help of people who know that she is the one who must give birth to a special boy who can save the world. These are people of different nationalities and faiths who have united for peace. A parallel line of pilgrims are people of different religions, walking the hard path to some place of power where they could unite and discover the Heavenly Eye that would illuminate the world. By uniting, they create a common energy in which the protagonist’s son is born, as Hope and Faith for the Better. Their journey is a symbol of faith in general, because it always goes through trials. When we go to the truth, we go through certain lessons and our way to God is difficult, but only possible if we come together. The words at the end of the video are from the "Document on Human Fraternity for World Peace and Living Together" signed by Pope Francis and the Grand Imam of Al-Azhar, Ahmad el-Tayeb, on February 4, 2019. Dimash met and spoke with both men at the September meeting. Producer - Dimash Qudaibergen Script - Dimash Qudaibergen Music - Dimash Qudaibergen Lyrics - Liliya Vinogradova (she also wrote Passione, Ti Amo Cosi, Olimpico, etc...) Directed by - Alina Veripia DimashAli Director - Kanat Aitbayev (Dimash’s dad) Dimash Qudaibergen’s 12-minute work is dedicated to the unity of people on our planet. We are all divided into races, nations and religions, but we are all children of one planet and live under one sky. Life is the highest value. No sacred book calls for the destruction of people. We must learn to be friends; it is impossible for a few adults to cause millions of children to suffer. The future of our planet, the future of people is in our hands, let there be peace in the world. We are children of one Home, one Earth and one Heaven. (description box, Dimash news, astanatimes) My opinion: The whole song is an outcry. My heart aches because of the wars and misery in this world. The greed, envy and intolerance of men will wipe them off the face of the earth if they do not come to their senses. Children and women are targeted victims of annihilation and rape in wars. But they are not just victims or mothers. They are half of humanity. Where are they? Why don't the women climb the mountain side by side with the men and head towards the sunrise and a better future? I only see men running mercilessly past a collapsed comrade-in-arms. Nobody helps him. What future can such a humanity await? Will anything ever change? *** Pope Francis awarded a commemorative medal to Kazakh singer Dimash Qudaibergen during the Pope's visit to the Seventh Congress of Leaders of World and Traditional Religions September 14-15, 2022 in Nur-Sultan/Kazakhstan. On September 13, 2022, Dimash performed his new song 'The Story of One Sky' at the concert held for convention attendees. The music video premiered on September 24 at Dimash's meeting with fans in Almaty. A few days earlier, Dimash said he had just shot 'the world's most expensive music video' to compose it (over $7 million). It used to be Michael Jackson's 'Scream'.

I love watching your videos GazMash. It is as if I was in the room with you watching these wonderful videos. Thank you!! This one was epoch. It is a prayer.
Dimash was the one who was saved from drowning. Thank you dear friend for having reacted to this masterful work. Here is the symbol meaning of the pendant; The metallic element that the boy "Dimash" used to make the pendant is a gnomon of a sundial of a maritime compass, the triangular blade is attached to the sundial in such a way that it casts a shadow on it and the hole is drilled lets in the sunlight, thus projecting its image. This gnomon was used both to navigate and to measure time and timing, it marks the true north and served as an orientation for navigators so as not to lose their way and to guide people. In the video it is used as a symbol of fraternity but the The antagonist, who will later become the president, bends the element in his hand and a bent gnomon cannot function and set the course, it will never show him the true North and therefore the boy in the future will lose his moral compass. Dimash has really taken it to another level with this cinematic work. This is more than just a music video, it's a wake-up call! If he doesn't win a prize with this masterpiece, I wonder what it will take. He is so invested in the well-being of humanity and in the unity of all peoples. He deserves the Nobel Peace Prize, nothing less. This video should be seen by all the leaders of our planet, they might understand all the suffering they cause😢 Take care my friend. A Dear from Canada🥰❤
Magnificent work. In addition, the name of the town, Wallenberg, is meant to remind us of the German town in WWII that was the last stand of the German army where the US army fought the Germans and killed every man, woman and child in the town. Symbolizes that innocent people pay in the end no matter who wins. It's not only the "bad guys" who kill innocents.
You are probably the first reactor for Dimash’s work that I actually want to hear your reaction at the end of this video cause I felt the same. Thank you
This masterpiece has shaken all of us, it is a plea for peace, Dimash scream is a desperate call to think for ourselves and change our sad destiny if we continue to follow mistaken leaders or symbols that just divide us and have made us lose the horizon. Love is the answer to live a better and fair life for everybody. What a pain to see us, as humanity, reflected in this MV. 🥹🥲🌹💔🎤🔝 Dimash vocals are indescribable beautiful !!!
Dimash sings this live, even before the video came out…it is incredible, he is beyond incredible..,the audience is sobbing and the ending is poignant….Again and as always, love your reactions…I love your heart. The concert he sang this was Almaty concert. Please listen…thanks
Thank you for emotional reaction to this Masterpiece from Dimash. Highly recommended to react to his live version of The story of one sky (fancam) from his concert September 23,2022. Dimash is unbelievable there. He left his heart on that stage!

I've watched over 70 reactions to this video. About 12 people totally reacted to this in a Humane way, of which you are one. The rest looked like they were watching paint dry, or were interpreting Dimashes singing which was NOT the purpose of this video. Thank you for your heartfelt reaction.
I've lost count of the reactors who are just overwhelmed.. They stare blankly, but are just human... Setting the emotion to the max with the heartbeat, a child drowning, as on the Singer stunned many like rabbits in headlights.. I cannot imagine how I would react with their level of Dearness devotion.. Most people avoid talking about the death of children.. (40+ school shootings in America this year ) I have been a Dear since 2017. Attended his London and Prague concerts.. One Sky is pure Dimash.. The most epic emotion you have ever had to a movie condensed into a few minutes.. Life is full of suffering.. Many are swept away with fear...
C'est l'œuvre musicale la plus incroyable qui m ai été donné de voir et d'entendre de toute ma vie ....❤️ Merci beaucoup pour votre réaction 🙏. Il est temps que Dimash puisse donner au monde ce qu'il a à transmettre ... Avez vous vu des extraits du concert à Almaty où il la chante pour la 1er fois et le discours juste avant ? C'est incroyable...😥💔...we are choosing life ❤️ we need Peace ☮️ 🙏 bises de France 🇨🇵
Hola muy buena reacción entiendo qué quedes sin palabras, a una gran obra,épica, un gran Requiem,tienes muchas interpretaciones, todo lo qué está pasando en el mundo,por culpa de los personajes ambiciosos de poder,que no les importa nada,ni las vidas qué se pierden,ni el daño qué ocasionan, también cómo nos volvimos los humanos, realmente cambiamos, mucho egoísmo, desinterés por ver la realidad, codiciosos, sin empatía al dolor ajeno, si alguna vez nos amamos? Cómo podemos odiarnos???dañamos nuestra casa,qué es nuestra tierra 🌏, nada trajimos al mundo,y con nada nos vamos, porqué tanta maldad?? Mira es mucho lo qué significa ésta gran obra, aunque sea dolorosa es la realidad qué vivimos, ojalá el mundo vea éste gran mensaje que quiere dar al mundo nuestro Príncipe Dimash!!! Espero más reacciones, y gracias Él es él mejor cantante y mejor voz del mundo, de eso no hay dudas. Graciassssss desde Buenos Aires Argentina 🇦🇷 Dear Mónica Graciela abrazossss y bendiciones!!! ELEGIMOS LA UNIÓN ELEGIMOS LA PAZ ELEGIMOS LA VIDA!!
My very very favorite is love is like a dream. It should be the love song for the ages. You will love One sky,. It’s like Dimash Cry for peace.. You end up fighting your own family.
Дорогой друг, спасибо за Вашу эмоциональную реакцию, согласна, что это болезненно, тяжело, но необходимо, как горькая пилюля, помогающая выздороветь, очнуться, попробовать жить в мире и согласии, на нашей небольшой планете - Земля - под одним чистым небом. С уважением, из Казахстана.
Esta obra maestra promueve el entendimiento y la paz entre los pueblos. Nuestro aporte será el divulgar este mensaje a todos los que estén a nuestro alcance. Dimash está, hace mucho tiempo, trabajando por la paz.Sus "dears" ELEGIMOS LA VIDA !!!!!
Спасибо Вам за чувства,за эмоции!!У Вас чуткое сердце!Это Послание Димаша Кудайбергена ЧЕЛОВЕЧЕСТВУ!!!Призыв к Объединению Всех Религий в борьбе за Мир на Планете!!За Человека!!Это Шедевр композиторского и вокального Искусства Димаша Кудайбергена!!Очень люблю этого Артиста!!Будьте здоровы!!С уважением Россия.
Спасибо за реакцию. Димаш в этом произведении превзошёл себя : его музыка, его вокал, его сценарий, его актёрская работа, его продюссерская работа - всё выше всяких похвал. Работа всех участников съёмочной группы, музыкантов, бэк-вокалистов - всё в превосходной степени. Рекомендую также посмотреть живое выступление с концерта в Алмы-Аты.Это вообще на разрыв аорты. Одного не учёл ДИМАШ : в нынешней ситуации речи диктатора хотелось бы услышать на русском языке для полноты эффекта данного мини-фильма. Один сумасшедший роzzийский лидер развязал чудовищную войну против соседнего суверенного государства Украины. ДИМАШ как будто побывал на войне в Украине ! Да, в Украине так и происходит : рожают в тёмных сырых подвалах, оккупанты убивают и насилуют детей ! путин - гитлер 21 века, исчадие ада на Земле. Он приказал убивать Украинцев, уничтожать мирные города и гражданскую инфраструктуру. этот маньяк сделал свой народ убийцами. На многие поколения русские будут врагами Украинцев. Они уже прокляты ! роzzийские фашистские оккупанты издеваются над гражданскими и над пленными Защитниками Украины, Защитниками своей Земли : пытают, насилуют, творят зверства на оккупированных территориях Украины. путин посылает на смерть свой народ : на 22.11.22 убито уже 85000 оккупантов. А ему всё мало ! ДИМАШ показал, что зло должно быть физически уничтожено, даже ценой собственной жизни ! Однако на рабсее народец гнусно-скрепный : подлый, трусливый, бездушный, злобный, кровожадный, безвольный, лживый и тупой. Эти фашистские нелюди умеют воевать только с мирным населением, умеют грабить и уничтожать то что не смогли украсть ! Проснитесь, вы на расее люди или zомби ? Враг не в Украине, враг в вашем крэмле, враги в гос. дуре ! Сколько ещё нужно гробов, чтобы народ на парашке одумался что они творят ? Всем понятно, что эрефия уже проиграла эту войну ! Зачем продолжать ? Украина непобедима, потому что борется с террористами на своей Земле. Смотрю как проходит могилизация, идут новые гробы. Удивляют роzzийские самки : иначе не могу назвать мамаш, жён мобилизованных : очень переживают, что отправляют этих недоумков не подготовленными на войну, не научили их как лучше убивать ! никто не сказал, что против войны, - причитают они, что жопы ихние замёрзнут, и оружие плохое. А если оружие хорошее дадут и тёплые штаны, - тогда ладно, пусть убивают в комфортных условиях детей, женщин, стариков ! Так ? Слава Украине ! Слава Героям-Защитникам Украины ! Смерть врагам Украины, путину, пропа-ГОНДОНАМ и путиноидам ! Привет из Одессы всем адекватным людям, друзьям Украинцев, а врагам лютая смерть !
Merci pour votre réaction! On sent votre émotion!! Pour bien comprendre, je vous partage une analyse de ce chef-d’œuvre! - Heiderose Kober's comment : " This 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. (Thank you, Snarky Tart for that information). 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. As a native German, I have seen the aftermath of war as I was born a few years later when much of Germany was still in rubble. Waldenburg is only 28 miles from my hometown and 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/.../american-troops-move-through The imagery of the denouement is powerful: The cries over the loss of a beloved child and the cries of 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 revenge 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. 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 spiritual 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,race, 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. "
In the video, Dimash is the one who is saved from drowning, at the end, Dimash then takes the life of the friend who saved him & returns to where he started, in the water.
Dimash has always been very vocal about his anti war and pro peace and it started when Kazakhstan had an uprising last year , then followed with Ukraine vs Russia . When he restarted his solo concerts after the worldwide pandemic, he spoke about war vs peace. Going 3 years back, he started composing this song and completed when he was ready to make a music video of this song which the story is depicted here. I was always very concerned about his open discourse of war which I surely understand him and a lot of people in the world feel the same thing. He is a well known figure in the word due to his music that captivated millions of people across the spectrum. I always say deep in my heart that I hope he doesn’t get into trouble about this but if he is the one who can reach the masses talking about peace, then let it be. I do really appreciate your opinions about the MV although it troubled you, you did not cut the video off .☮️✌️🕊️
Очень ждала вашей реакции. Спасибо за настоящие эмоции. Обязательно посмотрите фанкам вьетнамского фанклуба с сольного концерта в Алмате. Мне посчастливилось , в сентябре 2022, побывать на этом концерте. Это были 4 часа счастья!!!
Finally I waited for your reaction to this video! Thank you) You feel and appreciate great music and vocals - it's great)) And your reactions are always a pleasure to watch and listen to!
Una obra maestra de nuestro querido Dimash con muchos simbolismos y un gran mensaje,si puedes busca una fan cam que grabó éste tema en su último concierto es impresionante ver a Dimash dejando la vida en el escenario.Saludos para ti y todos los Dears desde Argentina!!!🤗❤🇦🇷Paz🙏
I have been waiting patiently for your great reaction, thank you. I understand how this was very hard for you to watch as it is for most people so very emotional. Our Dimash is very vocal about the futility and human cost of war. He detests war and has stated that wars are always between two people not two nations. He has said he is 'only a singer' so all he can do is 'use his voice'. This is Dimash's humility and him using his voice. Dimash composed the music and wrote the screen play. This was a project 3 years in the making on and off in-between commitments in many countries and his homeland not to mention his concerts of which there has been four in just this year alone. Dimash premiered The Story of One Sky live at his concert in Almaty, Qazaqstan on the 23rd September and the video released on the 24th. The emotion, heart and soul is real and I believe this was a way for him to vent his frustration at current world events. It’s mostly about life, death and rebirth. Director Alina Veripya is second to none in her field and portrayed everything magnificently.I believe she also directed ‘Okay’ for Dimash which was a great video. The Story of One Sky is an absolute mind blowing masterpiece and deserves unrivalled recognition from all corners of the earth. This makes you sad, makes you cry but leaves you questioning the direction we as a humans are travelling. Dimash has said he realises this is not for mainstream music but he felt compelled to write it. Dimash promised something epic and that was a colossal understatement. He delivered as always. ❤💕
How much I watch this film (I can’t call it a clip), so many tears flow. It hurts. It's hard. Dimash talks about where they are taking us... We want to live in peace. We want to smile at our children. We don't want pain. We don't want tears. We are all equal. Сколько я смотрю этот фильм( не могу назвать клипом), столько текут слёзы. Это больно. Это тяжело. Димаш говорит о том, куда ведут нас... Мы хотим жить в мире. Мы хотим улыбаться нашим детям. Мы не хотим боли. Мы не хотим слёз. Мы все равны.
The video shows once again that Dimash is an absolute genius. In singing but also as an actor and as a storyteller. The powerful message conveyed by this video is more relevant today than ever. I think this video is mostly about the message. This message however, is for the first time more important than his vocal abilities. His voice is just the tool in this video. But indispensable and simply indescribable. His singing is indescribable and I don’t have the words to express it adequately. But it is only the mediator of what this video is about. This is so heartbreaking and sad and an awesome masterpiece. Pure goosebumps. He worked on this composition for three years and also wrote the screenplay. The premiere was on September 24, 2022. As some have mentioned, this video should be seen by many people. It may be very brutal for some. But let’s not forget that for many, including children, this is everyday life in some countries. And Dimash relentlessly shows us how ugly war is. Dimash was the littel boy who was drowning in the beginning and he gave the necklace to his childhood friend (and future leader) and the girl. The girl on the beach was his future wife. And she gave birth to her second child in the video. The littel girl who was shot was Dimashs and her first daughter. Desperation and maybe revenge has led him to kill his former friend. But violence always breeds violence, and because of this, not only is the leader dead, but so is Dimash. Dimash in the last sequence of the video was the baby (and not the dead Dimash walking in afterlife) that was born and now as a grown man unites people of different nationalities and religions for peace. If you want to know more about this video check out dimashnews. com Btw, Dimash has received an Award from Pope Francis personally at The Congress of the Leaders of World and Traditional Religions held in Kazakhstan on September 13, 2022. He performed the song there in connection with the congress before the premiere. There now is a wonderful booklet on dimashnews. com Also see the live fancam from his Almaty concert on September 23, 2022. 35.000 people from 68 different countries. I am so sad, that I couldn’t be there. ua-cam.com/video/IH7hhSw6CfU/v-deo.html
If you want to just enjoy his vocals for this, he sang this live at his concert in Almaty🥰. There is a good fan cam, was so nice to see you reacting again Found the video ua-cam.com/video/IH7hhSw6CfU/v-deo.html
Diane in her comments explained really well the meaning and plot of this Masterpiece. Like other dears said, we must carryon Dimash message. War destroys people in both sides. WE WANT PEACE. WE CHOOSE LIFE. There is a great fan cam from a Dear who attended the concert in Almaty where he premiered this song. You must see him perform live this song. Thanks for always being a sincere reactor to Dimash. Take care. ❤️🙏🕊
The film is based on a story written by Dimash, with his own screenplay. (He worked on this piece for the last 3 years). The director Alina Veripya told about the creation of the music video for the new song: The clip is divided into several parts. The first one is about childhood. The main character and his 2 friends are connected by childhood stories and symbols of eternal friendship. One day the friend saves the Protagonist when he drowns. However, there is already competition in this children’s story, as the boys are in love with one girl, and she chooses one. The second experiences a kind of psychological breakdown and transfers the children’s problems into the adult world of totalitarianism and struggle. By becoming president, the Antagonist carries the idea of a saving war: “Only war will lead us to peace. Only the strongest can find love in their hearts. You must be strong enough to give the world freedom. A world where every city, every home is one. We will lead all who are ready to begin this new life. Anyone who resists has no place with us. I choose freedom. The world is open before me, and I want to give it to you. War for the people is the way to unity.” The main character also speaks of unity, of peace, but through the lens of kindness and love. While fighting, he is confused, he is in shock, but he has to save his family - his pregnant wife (the very girl from his childhood) and his daughter. Once home, he is horrified by the picture of the dead and realizes that his family is also dead. After surviving this drama, he moves on to the antagonist to seek revenge. However, the Protagonist’s wife survives with the help of people who know that she is the one who must give birth to a special boy who can save the world. These are people of different nationalities and faiths who have united for peace. A parallel line of pilgrims are people of different religions, walking the hard path to some place of power where they could unite and discover the Heavenly Eye that would illuminate the world. By uniting, they create a common energy in which the protagonist’s son is born, as Hope and Faith for the Better. Their journey is a symbol of faith in general, because it always goes through trials. When we go to the truth, we go through certain lessons and our way to God is difficult, but only possible if we come together. This clip is not about war, it’s about peace. War here is a means of expressing the contrast of what happens when we lose love for one another. It is about the call to unite, to stop dividing each other along national, social, religious lines in order to preserve life, love, friendship, and the land for our children. (source : dimashnews) "Dimash Qudaibergen’s 12-minute work is dedicated to the unity of people on our planet. We are all divided into races, nations and religions, but we are all children of one planet and live under one sky. Life is the highest value. No sacred book calls for the destruction of people. We must learn to be friends; it is impossible for a few adults to cause millions of children to suffer. The future of our planet, the future of people is in our hands, let there be peace in the world. We are children of one Home, one Earth and one Heaven." P.S. The pilgrims part is still in present day, not in ancient times. It speaks of the necessity of unity in service of Life, the highest value. The Protagonist dies, his daughter died as innocent casualty of war, (possibly his wife dies in childbirth ?), the Antagonist dies. The son (of the Protagonist and his wife) survives with the help of people of all faiths, and in the last frame, he goes on, together with the pilgrims of all faiths, on the path of Kindness, Hope and Faith for the Better. -------------- Dear Cedric, I was at the concert in Almaty, where Dimash performed this on stage (can`t describe how it was to be there), and I thought you might like a close-up fancam of it : ua-cam.com/video/_bxAZIyiegI/v-deo.html (it`s the last third of the song, from the vocalise onward, till the stunning end ; you get to see his bewildered face at the end, and see all the heart he poured into this ; he also says a word to the crowd when he is done) -------------- Translation for the growl words he says while his character hugs his daughter that died : it`s in kazakh, and the words I believe they are : "Adam kerve omir şol" - "The life of Man (Adam) is like this" (behold the life of Man ; such is Man`s life ; full of pain ; this is what man is capable of, making his life full of pain, with no winners and losers ; everybody loses when love is gone and we turn to war) -------------- Completely besides the point - mentioning it just for technical cinematographic reasons : apparently the video was more expensive than Michael Jackson`s "Scream". Much more important is that Dimash actually performed the song The Story of One Sky for the very very first time at the Seventh Congress of Leaders of World and Traditional Religions, which was held in Astana (Nur-Sultan) in mid-September. One of the listeners was Pope Francis, who later met with Dimash and presented him with a commemorative medal.
Dimash prodigio un fenómeno musical, una Genialidad!!! Porfavor ya que viste el video ahora reaccionalo en VIVO en ALMATY Concert te volverás a sorprender!!! Soy Ninoska una Dears Chilena 🇨🇱 que ama y admira mucho a Dimash saludos y bendiciones ❤❤
I think of it as a 'project' or one of his 'works'. It's so much more than a song or a video. It's a masterpiece... the perfect marriage of music, film, and story. The cinematography and acting was top level. Most importantly, it makes people feel. It sparks discussion and even action. This is Dimash's soul that we are seeing and hearing, more than anything that he's ever done before.
Thank you for your thoughtful reaction, Dear! My response will focus on a heartbroken, frustrated & downright angry young man's urgent message not the phenomenal vocals he ordinarily is lauded for as this is what Dimash has instructed us to do, as well as, to promote it by sharing it far & wide & no one will not be allowed to react and/or share this one! My understanding is that there will be no blocking by him or his team! If you are blocked please let me know. DQ wants it shared and a global dialogue to ensue on how to establish & keep a "World Without War!" There's a lot to unpack & dependent upon a person's frame of reference, their interpretation of the video & DQ's message will undoubtedly be colored by their own preconceptions & life experiences, etc. My interpretation of his message this far is as follows: DQ's phenomenal 9-23-22 Almaty live performance of this composition and this MV are prophetic masterpieces of transcendental pro-planet/antiwar art activism & downright spiritual experiences wherein Dimash issues a sincere, passionate yet, heartbreaking call to action to "learn to love" one another again as we were taught as children & to stop --- all conflicts, all aggression, all wars --- for the real fight before us requires us to unite globally & engage in the fight to save our Mother Earth, "the sacred womb" from which all life sprung! Let us shun our "failing [self-serving Pied] Piper leaders" whose lunacy continues to lead us all to our mutual ruin & destruction by ignoring our species' fate as the "tightening noose" of climate change, hunger, poverty perpetually worsens whilst our "crazy leaders" instead waste precious time, limited resources & countless lives by choosing to "lead us to the slaughter" of these senseless, endless wars! Billions of lives STOLEN Billions of cells UNBORN Billions of souls FALLEN Billions of dreams UNREALIZED The verse that states we must "learn to share again the love, not shares" believe means we must re-learn how to share our love in real time, person-to-person via one-on-one human connection in meaningful ways thru in-person acts of kindness such as compassionately, caring for the actual basic human needs of others or those that are emotional or physical in nature; all of which builds strong friendships, communities, nations and even friendships between nations unlike the superficial virtual "shares" that may be important only to one person's social media status & very well imaginary. DQ asks us to "learn to live again" as "we have passed the moment of "Imagine" (which is clearly a reference to Lennon's iconic song written of the utopia he dreamed of) & the "world as the feast" I believe means we as a species have caused so much irreparable damage to the planet resulting in droughts & famine that we are long passed former times of plenty & now must work very hard together to overcome our limited, finite resources or "Do we have to starve?" I feel as if DQ is asking us "what's it going to take" for us to "WAKE UP?" Children are (and have long been) dying of famine NOW. Further, DQ proclaims THIS is OUR LAST CHANCE, and that we must immediately act as there's "not a moment to lose" before either the Earth implodes or some crazed "Pied Piper" releases nuclear Armageddon upon the world! #TimesUp #ItsTimeToSaveTheEarth All I can say for certain is DQ's awesome composition and MV performance of this incredible composition of his has created the global dialogue seeking to understand it, each other and ourselves and has done more to promote a culture of tolerance he speaks of in his message at the end of the video than any other artistry I've witnessed in my 64 years of walking the planet! 🌏💚 He's successfully started the convo and it is up to us to keep it going by spreading this video & respectfully engaging with any & all so that we might unite in our common desire for peace under our shared one sky, Dears! You must watch this MV with an open mind & heart coming from a mindset of love & solidarity. I don't share the majority's view that Dimash survives nor is that his grownup baby born as he died at the end of the video. The video progression follows the song in build and climax & at the end we see him on the parallel spiritual plane & he has joined the group of religious figures in their ascension to the One God humans have prayed & created religions to worship since the beginning of Creation which is all of our fate in the end. Listen for the Prayerful voices within the One Voice...Muslim, Buddhist, Jewish, Christian entwined in the Prayer to the One God whose DQs virtuosity acts as conduit for the pure light of Heaven above us in the one sky we share. We must awaken spiritually. We must raise our collective human consciousness, unite, be as ONE --- live and let live --- & understand our shared fate under our shared sky. "Can we balance on the edge of a fiery grave" with all these competing self-interests & is it even possible to save our future on this planet? To avert our own extinction & achieve that utopian peace we all desperately need to survive as a species so that we might enjoy peaceful, prosperous lifetimes for ourselves & future generations, DQ begs us to #ChooseLife UNITE! Dimash is a empathetic, lyrical genius whose virtuosity serves as a conduit for the pure & wondrous light of Heaven as well as the pain & suffering of our human Hells-on-Earth (many of our own making); he is the most excellent ambassador for a peaceful planet & our survival we could ever envision in his childlike altruistic nature & unconditional love. #WeAreChoosingLife ☸✡☪✝🕉☯☮ #SaveTheEarth 🌏🌍🌎#SaveAllChildren
You reacted like we all have. It's so powerful & heart-wrenching & took a lot of guts to show just a small portion of what war does. This masterpiece has taken Dimash 3 years to complete from writing the story to composing the music & then writing the screenplay. Of all the peace songs over the years this is the most compelling & thought-provoking. We all just accept wars as a part of life & it's time we didn't. 21st century & it's getting worse. Aren't we supposed to learn lessons from history? It's always about power & money & the people suffering & dying (even children) are not even considered. The whole world should see this mv & start to want to do something to stop it. There must be more people wanting peace than those wanting ear surely? Why have people forgotten the power in numbers? Thank you for your very real & emotional reaction to this amazing work from Dimash 👏👏❤️
Thank you. Now will be nice,if you react to the same song from his latest concert. That will be from fan cam,but believe me - to watch Dimash singing this song - it's Unforgettable experience.
Wow! Vídeo espetacular! Intenso e profundo! Uma obra prima completa! Música simplesmente extraordinária do nosso Príncipe Dimash! Letra emocionante e incrível com uma grande mensagem! Orquestra e instrumentos tradicionais incríveis! Dimash simplesmente extraordinário e repleto de emoção! Transcendental! Incrível! Dimash é um cantor magnífico, um roterista espetacular e um ator fantástico! We choose Live! PEACE! 🕊🕊 👏👏🏿👏🏿👏🏼👏🏾👏🏽👏🏽👏🏻🎶🎶♥️♥️🇧🇷🇧🇷
What a production, what a masterpiece, what a powerful message. Only Dimash. We have to choose light and life. We all live under the same sky. Stay safe and healthy, peace from Italy
Спасибо за ваше доброе и не равнодушное сердце ! Эта 3-х летняя работа я думаю была болью всей Его жизни ! Димаш не боится говорить правду о войне и мире везде и всюду! Голос Бога говорит нам через Димаша - задумайтесь люди как вы живете и для чего ?! Посмотрите живое выступление с концерта в Алматы в финале этой песни Димаш также умирает на сцене на разрыв сердца и разрывает себя на части , чтоб донести до всех нас своё послание-молитву - проснитесь люди , измените жизнь вокруг себя во имя Мира на Земле ! Только в Единстве всех народов - наше спасение ! Димаш - тот выживший ребёнок из фильма, что ведёт нас к Свету ! И мы идём за Ним и меняемся сами ! Я счастлива, что живу с Ним в одно время и делю с Ним одно небо ! Всем здоровья и мирного неба ! ❤
Спасибо вам. Действительно это удивительное видео, ужасающее своей правдой, смелостью и откровенностью, но вместе с тем потрясающее, потому что многие стараются абстрагироваться от происходящего, как будто если об этом не говорить, то этого и не существует....
А Димаш не побоялся, он в каждой нотке кричит, заставляет нас услышать как ужасно когда творится такое, вместе с ним мы переживаем эту боль и все, до кого дошло это послание не останутся равнодушными
Dimash sang this song live for the very first time at a concert organised for the 7th Congress of Leaders of World and Traditional Religions in Nur-Sultan, Kazakhstan, in September 2022. He got a standing ovation from the attendees and delegates. Pope Francis awarded Dimash with a commemorative medal during the event.
Thank you my friend! Thank you for your sincere reaction! Have you noticed that Dimash is the main solder right from the very beginning of the war scene, when he was shot in the arm, many people miss that? When I first watched this MV, it broke me, I became very emotional, it was heart wrenching, to say the least!😢
Dimash has worked very hard for 3 years composing the music for this song, and around 20 days to make this MV. It turned out to be his most valuable MV, in the ideological sense, ever made, a real Masterpiece! I believe that Dimash deserves THE NOBEL PEACE PRIZE for his selfless hard work and tireless efforts, not only for this MV, but for trying to bring the world together in love, peace and harmony, through his music, MVs and many charities he dedicates his time to. He is a Legend and will go down in History.
The mini movie is full of symbolisms, it's the story of 3 youths, and the necklace which was made by the young Dimash and shared with his friends symbolizing lifelong friendship and unity. The Piper grew up and started a war, using the symbol of the necklace as the crest on his army uniform.
This is my breakdown of the story, as I see it:
1) Dimash, who was drowning at the beginning and at the end.
2) The Piper, the one who saved Dimash, and who became the leader, and who was killed by Dimash at the end.
3) The young girl, who died in childbirth, became Dimash’s future wife, had two children together; a daughter who was killed by the Piper's army; and the birth of a son at the end, who inherited the necklace from her mother…, they were all torn by the war.
For the symbolic aspects, Dimash is showing the different cultures and religions (Christianity, Judaism, Islam, Buddhism, Hindi, etc.), through throat singing, which is called the REQUIEM (mass for the souls of the dead), from different religions. The Pilgrim, Shepard or Wise Man at the end of the video was Dimash’s newborn son, born in his image and grows up to guide the Representatives of different religions and race from different Nations to the light, for a new beginning living together in peace, tolerance, love and harmony.
I’m choosing life!!🙏🙏
See you in your next reaction. Love from Canada 💖
I thought it was young Dimash who saved his friend who became the one who started the war. In my mind by the older dimash killing him it seemed just since he was the one who had saved him. I could be way off base though.
Yes, Dimash gave his friends the necklace as an appreciation for saving his life and as his life long friendships. Unfortunately, when Dimash's friend was rejected by the girls o the beach in the beginning, he was resentful and took a different path in life. Notice that Dimash's friend never wore the necklance and you saw it on the podium when they first showed him speaking at the podium!. Thank you for your comment and your thoughts. 🤗
💥35K people from 68 countries💥came together in love, in solidarity, in peace in an Almaty, KZ stadium on 9-23-22 for the 4 hour concert (31 songs, I'm told) given by the young Kazakh musician whose divine voice touches souls & changes hearts. Below please read the brief speech that DQ gave to the audience before singing his newest composition, "The Story of One Sky." Sending this to you & yours, Dear, with Much Love & In Solidarity while Praying for Peace.
"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."

DIMASH - ГЕНИЙ! Три года работы Сценарий Музыка Постановка Прекрасная актерская игра ШЕДЕВР!!!
Dimash was the boy that was drowning in the beginning. The boy that saved him became the dictator.
Dimash saved the drowning boy, the boy who was drowning grew up to be the dictator.
@@judykleinman7348 sorry, no. Dimash was the boy drowning.
Thank you for your heart felt reaction though it is a painful one. Dimash loves loves all people, all nations, all religions.... and his message that we all live in this world together under the same sky. Our hearts should not be devided by borders and idiologies. A very small amount of people dictate (pipers) what happens to the rest of us and how they think we should kill or hurt each other. Dimash asks us to choose life and do not follow these false pipers that lead so many to slaughter or distruction. This old lady loves Dimash as if he is her own son and am so grateful for his gifts and strength to use his gift to try to make the world a better version of itself. Bless this amaising young man,,, His family that loved him, raised him and then shared him with the world,,,, Peace from Canada
Thank You, GAZ, for your heartfelt Reaction. 🙏🙏🙏💗💗💗 This film meant Everything to Dimash. His personal statement to the World, and opening of Dialogue on these serious subjects. Genius.
This is a peace of art
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!!!!!
This song is perfection both emotionally and vocally. To me, and I'm sure to many, it's the best thing anyone has ever sung and recorded, and the most valuable. There may still be questions about why so many people believe that Dimash is the best? I don't know, maybe only a robot will be emotionless after watching and listening to this video. This is a masterpiece of the century that will remain in history. #songofcentury #thebestuniquegeniussinger
Мало того, этот шедевр заслуживает всех наград, какие только есть, в том числе и Оскара!🌏💯💯💯💥🔥
Спасибо большое за вашу эмоциональную реакцию!Спасибо большое ДИМАШУ за этот видеошедевр,за этот посыл человечеству!!!За его огромнейший труд и вклад!Всем Мира и ясного неба над головой!!!❤❤❤❤
So beautiful, so painful, so true of what's happening in our world. This message is so powerful. Dimash said not so long ago, we haven't seen anything yet and that he is different... I think he is so brave and don't know of any other artist who would put their soul beliefs out for all the world to see. He spent 3 years composing this and wrote the script. No doubt had a major hand in the lyrics too. He always credits people for their input. I've been a Dear for nearly 4 years and I can say with hand on my heart I will follow him and support him in everything he does. He is a blessing in these troubled times. Thank you so much for sharing your reaction. I could see how it affected you. ❤️😔❤️
Благодарю за прекрасную реакцию на Димаша 👍👍👍👍👍👍👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
DIMASH is fantastic. This video is a masterpiece. He has sent an important message to our humanity. We must choose Life and Love ❤️. The lyrics are deep and powerful. Thank you for the great reaction. Greetings from VIETNAM 🇻🇳.

DIMASH IS EXTRAORDINARY INCREDIBLE SINGER💯🎶🎵🙋👑

Absolutely Amazing DIMASH FENOMENAL ARTIST DIMASH THE BEST DIMASH SUPER STAR DIMASH MAGNIFICENT SINGER FANTASTIC SONG⭐⭐👏👏FENOMENAL MASTERPIECE⭐⭐👏THANK YOU VERY MUCH
Чувства настоящие,когда эмоции искренние!Спасибо за эмоции,не передать словами,Димаш просто чудо в каждой песне.Спасибо всем!
These are my views on this amazing masterpiece The Story of One Sky - I have watched this many times and still find things out that i never thought of amazing video and i have said it before if anyone could bring peace i strongly believe Dimash could make it possible. This needs to be shared worldwide to show people there is another way. War is never the answer because the only ones to suffer are the innocent. Rewatched the song of Dimash today one line stood out to me One of the most profound lines in The Story of One Sky is the line "Learn to share the love, Not shares" Not shares meaning stop making money out of war rich people have many shares in companies that profit from weapon manufacturing making them richer while the innocent suffer sadly this is why war exists. MONEY, GREED and POWER.
The part in the video with the little girl and the people in the hallway were Dimash's family who had been wiped out the little girl whose body he picked up was his daughter, the baby that was born was his son who grew up to be Dimash grown up at the end!!! The Dimash at the end can also be seen as Dimash in the afterlife leading others to the light in peace. This video needs to be shown worldwide. Something else i noticed is in his dying breath he sang (We're Choosing Life) as he finally passed away now that is powerful
Thank you
I love dimash!! I didn't know you reacted to him. I need to binge watch them.
This Painful Masterpiece is Dimash’s soul pleading to the World. I have no words, as my heart, body and soul are aching for Dimash. I believe Dimash Qudaibergen Has thousands of souls in him. How can one young man be so in tune in everything he does. His passion for The world, his country, his parents, his siblings, his friends, and especially his music is extraordinary !!! We are all so blessed to be a part of his outstanding journey!!I am so proud to be a Dear!! 💐💐❤️❤️
Thank you Dimash, for staying true to yourself!
Thanks for sharing your thoughts and reaction!!!
We’re Choosing Life!
super honestly react.thank u. keep go on
Thank you for your reaction, I was waiting for it because I know how you appreciate Dimash. When I saw your emotion at the beginning of the song, I wondered how you would endure the rest of the song... This music video is the message of Dimash to the world, and he said how difficult and painful the creation was for him. When we know how peace, respect and life are important to him, we can imagine it. In these difficult days, where countries are in war at our borders in Europe, this message is more important than ever. As Dimash said in several occasions, so many people are suffering because of the craziness of a few leaders.
You should react to his live performance in Almaty (Sept 2022): the way he performed is out of this world, the most powerful musical moment of my life. There is a good fancam of the Vietnamese fan club and Dimash also said that the concert should be released shortly.
Dimash is the next level, not only because he is the best singer ever but also because he uses his insane talent to promote strong values. This masterpiece should be broadcast all around the world.
That is the grandiose and impressive result of three years of compositional work by Dimash Qudaibergen.
This clip is not about war, it’s about peace. War here is a means of expressing the contrast of what happens when we lose love for one another. It is about the call to unite, to stop dividing each other along national, social, religious lines in order to preserve life, love, friendship, and the land for our children.
(Requiem means: Funeral, Funeral Mass, Funeral Service)
Story: The clip is divided into several parts. The first is about childhood. The main character and his 2 friends are linked in eternal friendship through childhood stories and a symbol (necklace).
One day, the friend saves the protagonist when he is drowning. However, there is already competition in this children's story as the boys are in love with the girl and she chooses 'Dimash'.
The pendant is a gnomon, the shadow hand of a sundial, which also served as a sea compass before antiquity. Uniform wearers wear this symbol on their heads. So it can't work.
The second experiences a kind of nervous breakdown and transfers the children's problems into the world of adult totalitarianism and struggle.
By becoming President, the antagonist (Piper - in reference to the 'Pied Piper of Hamelin') carries within himself the idea of a war to save:
“Only war will lead us to peace. Only the strongest can find love in their hearts. You must be strong enough to give freedom to the world. A world where every city, every home is one. We will guide all who are ready to start this new life. Anyone who resists has no business with us. I choose freedom. The world is open to me and I want to give it to you. War for the people is the way to unity.”
The main character also speaks of unity, of peace, but through the lens of kindness and love.
While fighting, he is confused, he is in shock, but he has to save his family - his pregnant wife (the very girl from his childhood) and his daughter. Once home, he is horrified by the picture of the dead and realizes that his family is also dead. After surviving this drama, he moves on to the antagonist to seek revenge.
However, the Protagonist’s wife survives with the help of people who know that she is the one who must give birth to a special boy who can save the world. These are people of different nationalities and faiths who have united for peace.
A parallel line of pilgrims are people of different religions, walking the hard path to some place of power where they could unite and discover the Heavenly Eye that would illuminate the world. By uniting, they create a common energy in which the protagonist’s son is born, as Hope and Faith for the Better. Their journey is a symbol of faith in general, because it always goes through trials. When we go to the truth, we go through certain lessons and our way to God is difficult, but only possible if we come together.
The words at the end of the video are from the "Document on Human Fraternity for World Peace and Living Together" signed by Pope Francis and the Grand Imam of Al-Azhar, Ahmad el-Tayeb, on February 4, 2019. Dimash met and spoke with both men at the September meeting.

Dimash Qudaibergen’s 12-minute work is dedicated to the unity of people on our planet. We are all divided into races, nations and religions, but we are all children of one planet and live under one sky. Life is the highest value.
No sacred book calls for the destruction of people. We must learn to be friends; it is impossible for a few adults to cause millions of children to suffer. The future of our planet, the future of people is in our hands, let there be peace in the world.
We are children of one Home, one Earth and one Heaven.
(description box, Dimash news, astanatimes)
My opinion: The whole song is an outcry. My heart aches because of the wars and misery in this world. The greed, envy and intolerance of men will wipe them off the face of the earth if they do not come to their senses. Children and women are targeted victims of annihilation and rape in wars. But they are not just victims or mothers. They are half of humanity. Where are they? Why don't the women climb the mountain side by side with the men and head towards the sunrise and a better future? I only see men running mercilessly past a collapsed comrade-in-arms. Nobody helps him. What future can such a humanity await? Will anything ever change?
*** Pope Francis awarded a commemorative medal to Kazakh singer Dimash Qudaibergen during the Pope's visit to the Seventh Congress of Leaders of World and Traditional Religions September 14-15, 2022 in Nur-Sultan/Kazakhstan.
On September 13, 2022, Dimash performed his new song 'The Story of One Sky' at the concert held for convention attendees.
The music video premiered on September 24 at Dimash's meeting with fans in Almaty.
A few days earlier, Dimash said he had just shot 'the world's most expensive music video' to compose it (over $7 million). It used to be Michael Jackson's 'Scream'. (astanatimes)

I love watching your videos GazMash. It is as if I was in the room with you watching these wonderful videos. Thank you!! This one was epoch. It is a prayer.
Dimash was the one who was saved from drowning. Thank you dear friend for having reacted to this masterful work.
Here is the symbol meaning of the pendant;
The metallic element that the boy "Dimash" used to make the pendant is a gnomon of a sundial of a maritime compass, the triangular blade is attached to the sundial in such a way that it casts a shadow on it and the hole is drilled lets in the sunlight, thus projecting its image. This gnomon was used both to navigate and to measure time and timing, it marks the true north and served as an orientation for navigators so as not to lose their way and to guide people. In the video it is used as a symbol of fraternity but the The antagonist, who will later become the president, bends the element in his hand and a bent gnomon cannot function and set the course, it will never show him the true North and therefore the boy in the future will lose his moral compass.
Dimash has really taken it to another level with this cinematic work. This is more than just a music video, it's a wake-up call! If he doesn't win a prize with this masterpiece, I wonder what it will take. He is so invested in the well-being of humanity and in the unity of all peoples. He deserves the Nobel Peace Prize, nothing less.
This video should be seen by all the leaders of our planet, they might understand all the suffering they cause😢
Take care my friend.
A Dear from Canada🥰❤
Magnificent work. In addition, the name of the town, Wallenberg, is meant to remind us of the German town in WWII that was the last stand of the German army where the US army fought the Germans and killed every man, woman and child in the town. Symbolizes that innocent people pay in the end no matter who wins. It's not only the "bad guys" who kill innocents.
You are probably the first reactor for Dimash’s work that I actually want to hear your reaction at the end of this video cause I felt the same. Thank you
Watching your emotions made me cry again Great reaction and understanding of this video Thank you 🙏🏻🇺🇸❤️🇰🇿
Посыл Человечеству задуматься. Свет идущим, а не воюющим. Мы выбираем жизнь. Спасибо за реакцию.

This masterpiece has shaken all of us, it is a plea for peace, Dimash scream is a desperate call to think for ourselves and change our sad destiny if we continue to follow mistaken leaders or symbols that just divide us and have made us lose the horizon. Love is the answer to live a better and fair life for everybody. What a pain to see us, as humanity, reflected in this MV. 🥹🥲🌹💔🎤🔝 Dimash vocals are indescribable beautiful !!!

Спасибо за Вашу реакцию, за эмоции!
I've watched over 70 reactions to this video. About 12 people totally reacted to this in a Humane way, of which you are one. The rest looked like they were watching paint dry, or were interpreting Dimashes singing which was NOT the purpose of this video. Thank you for your heartfelt reaction.
I've lost count of the reactors who are just overwhelmed.. They stare blankly, but are just human... Setting the emotion to the max with the heartbeat, a child drowning, as on the Singer stunned many like rabbits in headlights.. I cannot imagine how I would react with their level of Dearness devotion.. Most people avoid talking about the death of children.. (40+ school shootings in America this year ) I have been a Dear since 2017. Attended his London and Prague concerts.. One Sky is pure Dimash.. The most epic emotion you have ever had to a movie condensed into a few minutes.. Life is full of suffering.. Many are swept away with fear...
C'est l'œuvre musicale la plus incroyable qui m ai été donné de voir et d'entendre de toute ma vie ....❤️ Merci beaucoup pour votre réaction 🙏. Il est temps que Dimash puisse donner au monde ce qu'il a à transmettre ... Avez vous vu des extraits du concert à Almaty où il la chante pour la 1er fois et le discours juste avant ? C'est incroyable...😥💔...we are choosing life ❤️ we need Peace ☮️ 🙏 bises de France 🇨🇵
The most beautiful Videomusic by the best voice in the world ❤️
You said few words, but your sensitivity impressed me.
The world needs a lot more people like Dimash…and like us.
All of us under One Sky.
Teresa IT
Awesome reaction!!! Thank u...... This is probably the most moving MV I have ever seen! 🥺
Hola muy buena reacción entiendo qué quedes sin palabras, a una gran obra,épica, un gran Requiem,tienes muchas interpretaciones, todo lo qué está pasando en el mundo,por culpa de los personajes ambiciosos de poder,que no les importa nada,ni las vidas qué se pierden,ni el daño qué ocasionan, también cómo nos volvimos los humanos, realmente cambiamos, mucho egoísmo, desinterés por ver la realidad, codiciosos, sin empatía al dolor ajeno, si alguna vez nos amamos? Cómo podemos odiarnos???dañamos nuestra casa,qué es nuestra tierra 🌏, nada trajimos al mundo,y con nada nos vamos, porqué tanta maldad?? Mira es mucho lo qué significa ésta gran obra, aunque sea dolorosa es la realidad qué vivimos, ojalá el mundo vea éste gran mensaje que quiere dar al mundo nuestro Príncipe Dimash!!!
Espero más reacciones, y gracias Él es él mejor cantante y mejor voz del mundo, de eso no hay dudas. Graciassssss desde Buenos Aires Argentina 🇦🇷 Dear Mónica Graciela abrazossss y bendiciones!!!

Спасибо за реакцию. Димаш в этом произведении превзошёл себя : его музыка, его вокал, его сценарий, его актёрская работа, его продюссерская работа - всё выше всяких похвал. Работа всех участников съёмочной группы, музыкантов, бэк-вокалистов - всё в превосходной степени. Рекомендую также посмотреть живое выступление с концерта в Алмы-Аты.Это вообще на разрыв аорты.
Одного не учёл ДИМАШ : в нынешней ситуации речи диктатора хотелось бы услышать на русском языке для полноты эффекта данного мини-фильма. Один сумасшедший роzzийский лидер развязал чудовищную войну против соседнего суверенного государства Украины. ДИМАШ как будто побывал на войне в Украине ! Да, в Украине так и происходит : рожают в тёмных сырых подвалах, оккупанты убивают и насилуют детей ! путин - гитлер 21 века, исчадие ада на Земле. Он приказал убивать Украинцев, уничтожать мирные города и гражданскую инфраструктуру. этот маньяк сделал свой народ убийцами. На многие поколения русские будут врагами Украинцев. Они уже прокляты ! роzzийские фашистские оккупанты издеваются над гражданскими и над пленными Защитниками Украины, Защитниками своей Земли : пытают, насилуют, творят зверства на оккупированных территориях Украины. путин посылает на смерть свой народ : на 22.11.22 убито уже 85000 оккупантов. А ему всё мало ! ДИМАШ показал, что зло должно быть физически уничтожено, даже ценой собственной жизни ! Однако на рабсее народец гнусно-скрепный : подлый, трусливый, бездушный, злобный, кровожадный, безвольный, лживый и тупой. Эти фашистские нелюди умеют воевать только с мирным населением, умеют грабить и уничтожать то что не смогли украсть ! Проснитесь, вы на расее люди или zомби ? Враг не в Украине, враг в вашем крэмле, враги в гос. дуре ! Сколько ещё нужно гробов, чтобы народ на парашке одумался что они творят ? Всем понятно, что эрефия уже проиграла эту войну ! Зачем продолжать ? Украина непобедима, потому что борется с террористами на своей Земле. Смотрю как проходит могилизация, идут новые гробы. Удивляют роzzийские самки : иначе не могу назвать мамаш, жён мобилизованных : очень переживают, что отправляют этих недоумков не подготовленными на войну, не научили их как лучше убивать ! никто не сказал, что против войны, - причитают они, что жопы ихние замёрзнут, и оружие плохое. А если оружие хорошее дадут и тёплые штаны, - тогда ладно, пусть убивают в комфортных условиях детей, женщин, стариков ! Так ? Слава Украине ! Слава Героям-Защитникам Украины ! Смерть врагам Украины, путину, пропа-ГОНДОНАМ и путиноидам ! Привет из Одессы всем адекватным людям, друзьям Украинцев, а врагам лютая смерть !
Conmovedora historia, espectacular video y maravillosa interpretación de Dimash, saludos desde Chile 🇨🇱✌️💜
Excelente y emotiva reacción!!! Dimash the best
❤️❤️❤️🕊️🙏😢 love and hug to you.
Hola que bueno verte denuevo analizando canciones de Dimash
Me alegro mucho
Te estrañabamos!!!!!!!!!
Merci pour votre réaction! On sent votre émotion!! Pour bien comprendre, je vous partage une analyse de ce chef-d’œuvre!
-
Heiderose Kober's comment : " This 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. (Thank you, Snarky Tart for that information). 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. As a native German, I have seen the aftermath of war as I was born a few years later when much of Germany was still in rubble. Waldenburg is only 28 miles from my hometown and 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/.../american-troops-move-through
The imagery of the denouement is powerful: The cries over the loss of a beloved child and the cries of 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 revenge 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.
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 spiritual 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,race, 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. "
In the video, Dimash is the one who is saved from drowning, at the end, Dimash then takes the life of the friend who saved him & returns to where he started, in the water.
Much love back GazMash! I always very much enjoy your reactions to Dimash. Thank you for reacting to this timely and raw masterpiece. ❤❤
ДИМАШ 👍👍👍👍👍💜💛❤💙💚💖
Большое спасибо за реакцию!С наилучшими пожеланиями!
Dimash has always been very vocal about his anti war and pro peace and it started when Kazakhstan had an uprising last year , then followed with Ukraine vs Russia . When he restarted his solo concerts after the worldwide pandemic, he spoke about war vs peace. Going 3 years back, he started composing this song and completed when he was ready to make a music video of this song which the story is depicted here. I was always very concerned about his open discourse of war which I surely understand him and a lot of people in the world feel the same thing. He is a well known figure in the word due to his music that captivated millions of people across the spectrum. I always say deep in my heart that I hope he doesn’t get into trouble about this but if he is the one who can reach the masses talking about peace, then let it be. I do really appreciate your opinions about the MV although it troubled you, you did not cut the video off .☮️✌️🕊️
Очень ждала вашей реакции. Спасибо за настоящие эмоции. Обязательно посмотрите фанкам вьетнамского фанклуба с сольного концерта в Алмате. Мне посчастливилось , в сентябре 2022, побывать на этом концерте. Это были 4 часа счастья!!!
Dimash gives the symbolism of things through the film on Dimash news. Well worth the read. This should be a short film and worthy of academy award
💞💞💞👍👍👍💞💞💞👍👍👍Dimash is mesmerizing. Epic video, stunning vocals!!!!💞💞💞👍👍👍💞💞
Finally I waited for your reaction to this video! Thank you) You feel and appreciate great music and vocals - it's great)) And your reactions are always a pleasure to watch and listen to!
Вы в шоке? Это вас сильно удивило и по этому и реакция искреняя и эмоциональная. Спасибо!
Una obra maestra de nuestro querido Dimash con muchos simbolismos y un gran mensaje,si puedes busca una fan cam que grabó éste tema en su último concierto es impresionante ver a Dimash dejando la vida en el escenario.Saludos para ti y todos los Dears desde Argentina!!!🤗❤🇦🇷Paz🙏
I have been waiting patiently for your great reaction, thank you. I understand how this was very hard for you to watch as it is for most people so very emotional.
Our Dimash is very vocal about the futility and human cost of war. He detests war and has stated that wars are always between two people not two nations.
He has said he is 'only a singer' so all he can do is 'use his voice'. This is Dimash's humility and him using his voice. Dimash composed the music and wrote the screen play.
This was a project 3 years in the making on and off in-between commitments in many countries and his homeland not to mention his concerts of which there has been four in just this year alone. Dimash premiered The Story of One Sky live at his concert in Almaty, Qazaqstan on the 23rd September and the video released on the 24th.
The emotion, heart and soul is real and I believe this was a way for him to vent his frustration at current world events. It’s mostly about life, death and rebirth.
Director Alina Veripya is second to none in her field and portrayed everything magnificently.I believe she also directed ‘Okay’ for Dimash which was a great video.
The Story of One Sky is an absolute mind blowing masterpiece and deserves unrivalled recognition from all corners of the earth. This makes you sad, makes you cry but leaves you questioning the direction we as a humans are travelling. Dimash has said he realises this is not for mainstream music but he felt compelled to write it.
Dimash promised something epic and that was a colossal understatement. He delivered as always. ❤💕
Sank you for good reaction from Dimash. I love your reactions.
Iscritta, questo è un capolavoro non mi viene altro da dire saluti da Roma ❤️🇮🇹🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️
An absolute masterpiece. Bravo Dimash 👏 ❤
Esperaba con mucho gusto tu reacción!!! Ya t extrañaba. Abrazo enorme desde Argentina 🇦🇷🇦🇷🇦🇷🇦🇷
How much I watch this film (I can’t call it a clip), so many tears flow. It hurts. It's hard. Dimash talks about where they are taking us... We want to live in peace. We want to smile at our children. We don't want pain. We don't want tears. We are all equal.
Сколько я смотрю этот фильм( не могу назвать клипом), столько текут слёзы. Это больно. Это тяжело. Димаш говорит о том, куда ведут нас... Мы хотим жить в мире. Мы хотим улыбаться нашим детям. Мы не хотим боли. Мы не хотим слёз. Мы все равны.
More dimash please, the best of the world
bravo!!bravo!!👏👏👏😢thank you..
Спасибо! Нет войне!!! Димаш, браво!!!
The video shows once again that Dimash is an absolute genius. In singing but also as an actor and as a storyteller. The powerful message conveyed by this video is more relevant today than ever. I think this video is mostly about the message. This message however, is for the first time more important than his vocal abilities. His voice is just the tool in this video. But indispensable and simply indescribable. His singing is indescribable and I don’t have the words to express it adequately. But it is only the mediator of what this video is about. This is so heartbreaking and sad and an awesome masterpiece. Pure goosebumps.
He worked on this composition for three years and also wrote the screenplay.
The premiere was on September 24, 2022.
As some have mentioned, this video should be seen by many people. It may be very brutal for some. But let’s not forget that for many, including children, this is everyday life in some countries. And Dimash relentlessly shows us how ugly war is.
Dimash was the littel boy who was drowning in the beginning and he gave the necklace to his childhood friend (and future leader) and the girl. The girl on the beach was his future wife. And she gave birth to her second child in the video. The littel girl who was shot was Dimashs and her first daughter. Desperation and maybe revenge has led him to kill his former friend. But violence always breeds violence, and because of this, not only is the leader dead, but so is Dimash. Dimash in the last sequence of the video was the baby (and not the dead Dimash walking in afterlife) that was born and now as a grown man unites people of different nationalities and religions for peace.
If you want to know more about this video check out dimashnews. com
Btw, Dimash has received an Award from Pope Francis personally at The Congress of the Leaders of World and Traditional Religions held in Kazakhstan on September 13, 2022. He performed the song there in connection with the congress before the premiere.
There now is a wonderful booklet on dimashnews. com
Also see the live fancam from his Almaty concert on September 23, 2022. 35.000 people from 68 different countries. I am so sad, that I couldn’t be there.

Cela s'appelle "un chef-d'oeuvre" en français... 🥰
If you want to just enjoy his vocals for this, he sang this live at his concert in Almaty🥰. There is a good fan cam, was so nice to see you reacting again Found the video ua-cam.com/video/IH7hhSw6CfU/v-deo.html
What a sincere reaction!! I really loved your spontaneous feeling delivered for us. This Masterpiece deserves Nobel prize 👏 🙌.
Diane in her comments explained really well the meaning and plot of this Masterpiece. Like other dears said, we must carryon Dimash message. War destroys people in both sides. WE WANT PEACE. WE CHOOSE LIFE.
There is a great fan cam from a Dear who attended the concert in Almaty where he premiered this song. You must see him perform live this song.
Thanks for always being a sincere reactor to Dimash. Take care. ❤️🙏🕊
Aspettavo la tua reazione!🙏
Спасибо за вашу чистую и тонкую душу, созвучную Димашу и нам- верным поклонникам Великого художника - Димаша! Очень люблю ваши реакции!
The film is based on a story written by Dimash, with his own screenplay. (He worked on this piece for the last 3 years). The director Alina Veripya told about the creation of the music video for the new song: The clip is divided into several parts. The first one is about childhood. The main character and his 2 friends are connected by childhood stories and symbols of eternal friendship. One day the friend saves the Protagonist when he drowns. However, there is already competition in this children’s story, as the boys are in love with one girl, and she chooses one. The second experiences a kind of psychological breakdown and transfers the children’s problems into the adult world of totalitarianism and struggle. By becoming president, the Antagonist carries the idea of a saving war: “Only war will lead us to peace. Only the strongest can find love in their hearts. You must be strong enough to give the world freedom. A world where every city, every home is one. We will lead all who are ready to begin this new life. Anyone who resists has no place with us. I choose freedom. The world is open before me, and I want to give it to you. War for the people is the way to unity.” The main character also speaks of unity, of peace, but through the lens of kindness and love. While fighting, he is confused, he is in shock, but he has to save his family - his pregnant wife (the very girl from his childhood) and his daughter. Once home, he is horrified by the picture of the dead and realizes that his family is also dead. After surviving this drama, he moves on to the antagonist to seek revenge. However, the Protagonist’s wife survives with the help of people who know that she is the one who must give birth to a special boy who can save the world. These are people of different nationalities and faiths who have united for peace. A parallel line of pilgrims are people of different religions, walking the hard path to some place of power where they could unite and discover the Heavenly Eye that would illuminate the world. By uniting, they create a common energy in which the protagonist’s son is born, as Hope and Faith for the Better. Their journey is a symbol of faith in general, because it always goes through trials. When we go to the truth, we go through certain lessons and our way to God is difficult, but only possible if we come together. This clip is not about war, it’s about peace. War here is a means of expressing the contrast of what happens when we lose love for one another. It is about the call to unite, to stop dividing each other along national, social, religious lines in order to preserve life, love, friendship, and the land for our children. (source : dimashnews) "Dimash Qudaibergen’s 12-minute work is dedicated to the unity of people on our planet. We are all divided into races, nations and religions, but we are all children of one planet and live under one sky. Life is the highest value. No sacred book calls for the destruction of people. We must learn to be friends; it is impossible for a few adults to cause millions of children to suffer. The future of our planet, the future of people is in our hands, let there be peace in the world. We are children of one Home, one Earth and one Heaven." P.S. The pilgrims part is still in present day, not in ancient times. It speaks of the necessity of unity in service of Life, the highest value. The Protagonist dies, his daughter died as innocent casualty of war, (possibly his wife dies in childbirth ?), the Antagonist dies. The son (of the Protagonist and his wife) survives with the help of people of all faiths, and in the last frame, he goes on, together with the pilgrims of all faiths, on the path of Kindness, Hope and Faith for the Better. -------------- Dear Cedric, I was at the concert in Almaty, where Dimash performed this on stage (can`t describe how it was to be there), and I thought you might like a close-up fancam of it : ua-cam.com/video/_bxAZIyiegI/v-deo.html (it`s the last third of the song, from the vocalise onward, till the stunning end ; you get to see his bewildered face at the end, and see all the heart he poured into this ; he also says a word to the crowd when he is done) -------------- Translation for the growl words he says while his character hugs his daughter that died : it`s in kazakh, and the words I believe they are : "Adam kerve omir şol" - "The life of Man (Adam) is like this" (behold the life of Man ; such is Man`s life ; full of pain ; this is what man is capable of, making his life full of pain, with no winners and losers ; everybody loses when love is gone and we turn to war) -------------- Completely besides the point - mentioning it just for technical cinematographic reasons : apparently the video was more expensive than Michael Jackson`s "Scream". Much more important is that Dimash actually performed the song The Story of One Sky for the very very first time at the Seventh Congress of Leaders of World and Traditional Religions, which was held in Astana (Nur-Sultan) in mid-September. One of the listeners was Pope Francis, who later met with Dimash and presented him with a commemorative medal.
Dimash prodigio un fenómeno musical, una Genialidad!!! Porfavor ya que viste el video ahora reaccionalo en VIVO en ALMATY Concert te volverás a sorprender!!! Soy Ninoska una Dears Chilena 🇨🇱 que ama y admira mucho a Dimash saludos y bendiciones ❤❤
I think of it as a 'project' or one of his 'works'. It's so much more than a song or a video. It's a masterpiece... the perfect marriage of music, film, and story. The cinematography and acting was top level. Most importantly, it makes people feel. It sparks discussion and even action. This is Dimash's soul that we are seeing and hearing, more than anything that he's ever done before.
Thanks for the reaction 👍👍👍👍👍
Спасибо за прекрасную и искреннею реакцию. Успехов вам 👍👍👍!!!
Impresionante reacción muchas gracias simplemente gracias
Thank you for your thoughtful reaction, Dear! My response will focus on a heartbroken, frustrated & downright angry young man's urgent message not the phenomenal vocals he ordinarily is lauded for as this is what Dimash has instructed us to do, as well as, to promote it by sharing it far & wide & no one will not be allowed to react and/or share this one! My understanding is that there will be no blocking by him or his team! If you are blocked please let me know. DQ wants it shared and a global dialogue to ensue on how to establish & keep a "World Without War!"
There's a lot to unpack & dependent upon a person's frame of reference, their interpretation of the video & DQ's message will undoubtedly be colored by their own preconceptions & life experiences, etc. My interpretation of his message this far is as follows:
DQ's phenomenal 9-23-22 Almaty live performance of this composition and this MV are prophetic masterpieces of transcendental pro-planet/antiwar art activism & downright spiritual experiences wherein Dimash issues a sincere, passionate yet, heartbreaking call to action to "learn to love" one another again as we were taught as children & to stop --- all conflicts, all aggression, all wars --- for the real fight before us requires us to unite globally & engage in the fight to save our Mother Earth, "the sacred womb" from which all life sprung!
Let us shun our "failing [self-serving Pied] Piper leaders" whose lunacy continues to lead us all to our mutual ruin & destruction by ignoring our species' fate as the "tightening noose" of climate change, hunger, poverty perpetually worsens whilst our "crazy leaders" instead waste precious time, limited resources & countless lives by choosing to "lead us to the slaughter" of these senseless, endless wars!
Billions of lives STOLEN
Billions of cells UNBORN
Billions of souls FALLEN
Billions of dreams UNREALIZED
The verse that states we must "learn to share again the love, not shares" believe means we must re-learn how to share our love in real time, person-to-person via one-on-one human connection in meaningful ways thru in-person acts of kindness such as compassionately, caring for the actual basic human needs of others or those that are emotional or physical in nature; all of which builds strong friendships, communities, nations and even friendships between nations unlike the superficial virtual "shares" that may be important only to one person's social media status & very well imaginary.
DQ asks us to "learn to live again" as "we have passed the moment of "Imagine" (which is clearly a reference to Lennon's iconic song written of the utopia he dreamed of) & the "world as the feast" I believe means we as a species have caused so much irreparable damage to the planet resulting in droughts & famine that we are long passed former times of plenty & now must work very hard together to overcome our limited, finite resources or "Do we have to starve?" I feel as if DQ is asking us "what's it going to take" for us to "WAKE UP?" Children are (and have long been) dying of famine NOW.
Further, DQ proclaims THIS is OUR LAST CHANCE, and that we must immediately act as there's "not a moment to lose" before either the Earth implodes or some crazed "Pied Piper" releases nuclear Armageddon upon the world!
#TimesUp #ItsTimeToSaveTheEarth
All I can say for certain is DQ's awesome composition and MV performance of this incredible composition of his has created the global dialogue seeking to understand it, each other and ourselves and has done more to promote a culture of tolerance he speaks of in his message at the end of the video than any other artistry I've witnessed in my 64 years of walking the planet! 🌏💚 He's successfully started the convo and it is up to us to keep it going by spreading this video & respectfully engaging with any & all so that we might unite in our common desire for peace under our shared one sky, Dears!
You must watch this MV with an open mind & heart coming from a mindset of love & solidarity. I don't share the majority's view that Dimash survives nor is that his grownup baby born as he died at the end of the video. The video progression follows the song in build and climax & at the end we see him on the parallel spiritual plane & he has joined the group of religious figures in their ascension to the One God humans have prayed & created religions to worship since the beginning of Creation which is all of our fate in the end.
Listen for the Prayerful voices within the One Voice...Muslim, Buddhist, Jewish, Christian entwined in the Prayer to the One God whose DQs virtuosity acts as conduit for the pure light of Heaven above us in the one sky we share.
We must awaken spiritually. We must raise our collective human consciousness, unite, be as ONE --- live and let live --- & understand our shared fate under our shared sky. "Can we balance on the edge of a fiery grave" with all these competing self-interests & is it even possible to save our future on this planet? To avert our own extinction & achieve that utopian peace we all desperately need to survive as a species so that we might enjoy peaceful, prosperous lifetimes for ourselves & future generations, DQ begs us to #ChooseLife UNITE!
Dimash is a empathetic, lyrical genius whose virtuosity serves as a conduit for the pure & wondrous light of Heaven as well as the pain & suffering of our human Hells-on-Earth (many of our own making); he is the most excellent ambassador for a peaceful planet & our survival we could ever envision in his childlike altruistic nature & unconditional love. #WeAreChoosingLife ☸✡☪✝🕉☯☮ #SaveTheEarth 🌏🌍🌎#SaveAllChildren
Послание Димаша всем Землянам!..СпасиБО за добрую реакцию...🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Gracias por tu excelente y sentimental valoración
Un mensaje de paz que envió a la humanidad pide unidad entre los seres humanos sin importar religión o región. La guerra trae odio venganza y muerte!
You reacted like we all have. It's so powerful & heart-wrenching & took a lot of guts to show just a small portion of what war does. This masterpiece has taken Dimash 3 years to complete from writing the story to composing the music & then writing the screenplay. Of all the peace songs over the years this is the most compelling & thought-provoking. We all just accept wars as a part of life & it's time we didn't. 21st century & it's getting worse. Aren't we supposed to learn lessons from history? It's always about power & money & the people suffering & dying (even children) are not even considered. The whole world should see this mv & start to want to do something to stop it. There must be more people wanting peace than those wanting ear surely? Why have people forgotten the power in numbers? Thank you for your very real & emotional reaction to this amazing work from Dimash 👏👏❤️
*wanting war - typo.
La mejor canción de Dimash 💯💯🇨🇷❤️

Спасибо за ваше доброе и не равнодушное сердце ! Эта 3-х летняя работа я думаю была болью всей Его жизни ! Димаш не боится говорить правду о войне и мире везде и всюду! Голос Бога говорит нам через Димаша - задумайтесь люди как вы живете и для чего ?! Посмотрите живое выступление с концерта в Алматы в финале этой песни Димаш также умирает на сцене на разрыв сердца и разрывает себя на части , чтоб донести до всех нас своё послание-молитву - проснитесь люди , измените жизнь вокруг себя во имя Мира на Земле ! Только в Единстве всех народов - наше спасение ! Димаш - тот выживший ребёнок из фильма, что ведёт нас к Свету ! И мы идём за Ним и меняемся сами ! Я счастлива, что живу с Ним в одно время и делю с Ним одно небо ! Всем здоровья и мирного неба ! ❤
