Спасибо большое за высокопрофессиональную реакцию.Всеобьемлющую. Обязательно буду смотреть Ваши рекции на исполнение песен другими певцами.
I think you missed a few critical points in the story: 1. The 3 children on the beach grew up to become the fascist dictator, a common soldier, (Dimash) and the soldier's pregnant wife. 2. The little girl who was shot is Dimash's daughter. 3. Dimash shoots the fascist dictator, the boy who saved him from drowning, out of grief, rage and revenge. That's why Dimash pays with his life. Dimash had the same message at the end as you said, but he did it artistically and with music. It's a lot of story condensed into 13 minutes, and many people need a few viewings to grasp all the nuance.
I know I did
Hello friend! Thank you for your sincere reaction! When I first watched this MV, it broke me, I became very emotional, it was heart wrenching, to say the least!😢
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?
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 his 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 CHOSING LIFE!!🙏🙏
See you in your next reaction. Love from Canada 💖
Well said...
Oh, how I wish you would have realized that the little girl was Dimash's daughter!!! It makes such a difference - and that scene between Dimash and his dead daughter showed us all the amazing acting abilities of Dimash! Given all of Dimash's abilities along with the fact that he is now working with David Foster in the United States, I anticipate that he is rapidly headed for Hollywood - and complete world renown. If this would come to fruition, no one would deserve it more than our "Dear" Dimash Qudaibergen!!!!!
A final point - on the topic of violence. I am 71 years old and was raised in the hippy generation. As a result, I have believed in a passive, compassionate, loving toward approach toward all people for most of my life. Last year, however, I read a scholarly article that discussed current world events. The situation was of great concern to the author, because it was in his/her opinion that the outcomes could go either way. More specifically, the author was not as concerned about the aggressive right wing radicals as they were for the passive left wing liberals, because the left just might let things happen and say NOTHING, giving free reign to the right.
It was at that moment I realized that whenever a bully, regardless of origin and whether they be singular or a collective group, that bully must be met with a firm and resounding NOOOO!!! So, in ASOOS not only did Dimash's character avenge his child's murder, he concurrently saved untold hundreds of other innocent people, who would just happened to be in the way of their greedy, myopic desires. #justsayin
Dimash worked on this piece for 3 years, it's brilliant, the film addition is made at the highest level, Dimash wants peace, so that people can live in harmony regardless of religion, thank you for your reactions, best regards.
Димаш убивает того, кто его спас. То есть изначально хорошие в детстве люди, под влиянием обстоятельств из, как им кажется, лучших побуждений(слушайте внимательно речь лидера) приносят горе и страдания. Димаш поёт о том, что боль рождения неизбежна, но боль смерти в наших руках. И то, что крик "Мы выбираем жизнь! " исходит от мертвого человека-это самое страшное. Это о том, что мы слишком поздно понимаем , что на самом деле важно. Димаш гений.
Dimash-ГЕНИЙ!!! Три года работы. Сценарий Музыка Постановка Прекрасная актерская работа ШЕДЕВР!!!
What a huge leap for Dimash of development from a child prodigy who charmed the world in the talent competition in China, to a true musical genius who is changing the musical world with his skills, his perseverance, his new vision of music, his deep philosophical analysis of reality... To invest all of himself, not to waste on material wealth, fame, accumulating money... A rare, true artist. Thank you, Dimash, for your dedication to your art and the great mission you carry out so selflessly!
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.

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.
He also recently gave a speech at the first Central Asian Media Forum, in which he once again strongly advocated peace. You can see it with English subtitles.

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.

The official live version on his concert is now on his channel Almaty concert part 3. From the minute 25:35
ruclips.net/video/YP1r9wlkmHU/видео.html
He film is based on a story written by Dimash with his own screenplay. (I worked on this piece for 3 years). Director Alina Veripya spoke about creating the music video for the new song: the clip is divided into several parts. The first is about childhood. The main character, two friends linked by childhood stories and symbols of eternal friendship. One day the friend saves the protagonist when he drowns. However, there is already competition in these children's story, where the boys love one girl and she chooses one. The second goes through a kind of psychological The disintegration and transformation of children's problems into an adult world of totalitarianism and struggle. When he becomes a commander, the opponent carries the idea of saving the war: the young boy who presents the tokens of friendship he made will marry the girl (Dimash). She will give birth. A baby girl (murdered) and a mother waiting for another baby. Friends were scattered, and the third friend became an enemy, friends are enemies, because of the war, It is shocking how the cry of true helplessness of a father embracing his murdered daughter is practically coupled with the cries of a woman in labor who brings a child into the traumatized world of soldier (Dimash). That he was searching for his family and that he had found the dead body of his daughter and I think believing that his pregnant wife had also died, and felt the death of life, he decides, as the only way out in that moment of uncontrollable pain is revenge. He killed the evil embodied in his opponent, and then was killed by soldiers' bullets. ,and when Dimash died, his son was born, and the mother died during childbirth. But the boy is saved by his society of different religions and races, he wears his mother's talisman. He will surely grow up and become a messenger of peace on earth, like a worthy son of his father.A symbol of a future without evil, without wars, a world moving towards peaceful coexistence. The light of hope and peace on earth,In a world without walls, without unfair constraints, without differences or contempt for different ethnic groups or nations because the supreme value above all is: love and peace We are all human beings, we share the same planet Earth, and we owe each other as "brothers" the respect for life. In the end, he joined with people of different races and religions from another era that touches the present and the future In a world without walls, without unfair constraints, without differences or contempt for different ethnic groups or nations because the supreme value above all is: love and peace We are all human beings, we share the same planet Earth, and we owe each other as "brothers" the respect for life. ,Piper represents the force Totalitarian, oppressor who is not alien to us and who understands that war is the way to make people free (real nonsense).Piper (is the name of a soldier's opponent, a soldier who only hates, annihilates and destroys. What a paradox for a friend who, in his childhood, saves soldier Dimash from drowning. But life is like this, full of changes, good and bad, Evil, war and contempt happen when we lose love for one another, and our way to God and making peace and love in the world is not difficult but possible if we work together for love and peace and stop wars, hate and contempt. It is about calling for cooperation, to save lives, love, friendship and the land of our children. “Art is a sacred message in life, and these are the true artists.. And the earth needs these reformers in their precious, true and immortal work for the sake of love and peace on earth..
Gracias por su reacción a Nuestro ANGELADO PRÍNCIPE DIMASH, por favor poner subtitulos en español de la reacción de usted. Saludos cordiales. MÉXICO. 🇲🇽🇲🇽
Hi from Adelaide, we are lucky to live in this country. Thank you for your reactions I always like to hear what you have to say. There is a live version in the concert he has just released on his channel. It is amazingly incredibly brilliant.
It's Dimash's message to the world. Who could else spend money and time for non-commercial video? It matters to Dimash. Having in mind the ongoing war in Ukraine, Europe, in the 21 century!
You are one of very few reactors that talked about the composition itself. It was nice to hear your opinion on this beautiful piece. Most focus on the visuals and his voice and forget the music. Thank you for analyzing the music. It is a masterpiece on all levels. And the message is above it all. Love this artist and all he stands for. Thank you for your reaction👏👏
Thank you for your reaction.
The "Bad Guy" is the boy in the beginning who saved him from drowning‼‼‼‼‼‼‼‼
Dimash said in an interview that The “Dears” sometimes idolize him which negates the negatively perceived actions, such as anger.
It stands to reason that he has the full range of emotions including less than desirable attributes of man.
I very much appreciated your commentary on the composition and how it emotionally connects to the portrayal of the story.
Hi from KYRGYZSTAN 🇰🇬!Thanks for your reaction!Dimash the Angel 😇 of 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.
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. Dimash's unmistakable emotionally charged voice draws you into the video. I was totally hypnotized. 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 Astana/Kazakhstan.

Dimash not only composed this, but he wrote the screenplay as well.
🎆~••~🎆
Thanks very much for your very thoughtful reaction! 🕊 Please consider reacting to the LIVE performance of this masterpiece that I've shared in a separate comment that includes the speech he gave to the audience prior to singing it. 👼 You'll be blown away! 😇Happy Healthy New Year🎉 to you and yours, Dear!
My response focuses 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" I 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 LIVE and MV performances 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's progression follows the song's & builds in intensity as the pilgrims of all faiths continue their march upwards on a parallel spiritual plane & climaxes as the pilgrims experience a physical struggle with nature in the form of intense storm similar to the spiritual storm DQ experiences with the murder of his beloved daughter that is more than he can bear & his choice to seek revenge against his former friend who had long ago saved his life but who had chosen a dark & evil path. It is only after he has purged his spirit of the desire for revenge & killed his enemy (who had indeed become the enemy of humanity) & then DQ himself was subsequently killed by enemy soldiers did DQ's character's soul scream out from his watery grave that humanity has only one choice and #WeReChoosingLife !!
In death his spirit joins the other spiritual pilgrims in their ascension to the One God we've all worshipped in our own ways through our own religions guided by our own prophets ever since the beginning of Creation. The journey for DQ & his fellow seekers continues on as what appears to be the morning of a hopeful new day is dawning. His infant child remains in the material world left only with his mother's talisman yet grows into a prophet who leads the people to peace, according to the music video's director; a theme that is not in conflict with my understanding of DQ's character's spiritual journey.
Listen as Muslim, Buddhist, Jewish, Christian voices intertwine into the One Voice that sings our shared Prayer to the One God. DQs virtuosity is spiritual in nature; he touches souls and changes hearts with his divine vocals.
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

Hola MTR!!!Dimash trabajó en éste proyecto por 3 años,hizo la música,el guión y la producción,un gran video con muchos simbolismos y un gran mensaje para la humanidad.Saludos para ti y todos los Dears desde Argentina!!!🤗❤🇦🇷
Hello from Melbourne. Thank you for your great reaction and analysis. As an atheist, this works for me as well. Respecting and accepting others and be united without nations, religions, colours and labels separating us. And that's how Dimash is.
No one wins in wars and death brings more death and hatred. At the end, Dimash's son knows better from the mistakes in the past and these mistakes must lead us to a better world.
Have a nice day.
Hello from Sydney! Thank you. I agree 100%, this absolutely works and can be interpreted by all despite faith. That’s why I loved how the description was all inclusive and made no reference to deities or the supernatural

💥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 (now available on DQ's official YT channel in 3 Parts of the televised version originally broadcast on 1-31-22 on KZ TV) 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" which will give you a better understanding of the song and Dimash's intentions. 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."

I believe he is showing many circumstances of life, what fate and the path a person chooses can have different outcomes. That when there are wars or violence no matter what side your on the outcome is the same no one wins, a different solution needs to be found. Throughout history violence and wars leaves nothing but pain and suffering that affects people for generations. It just keeps going round and round. We do need to stop following crazy pipers and choose life. I feel this is a great piece of art that does what a great piece of art should do which is happening right now, getting people talking and discussing tough topics. Many will see this piece of work totally different and that wonderful as long as we keep talking.
In a world strewn with so much debris, you appear to be such a surprisingly valuable find. Love your personality. Thank you.
Awww thank you for your kind words
He was no choice. He should trying to save his family, so he must used guns😢💔
This is our sad reality.😢😢
We need choosing life 🌳🕊️🐾❤️
Thank you for your video 🙏💐💖🇧🇷
he's portraying the reality of our time - the opening scene of kids who started out as friends can change as adults. One follows the Piper's (political leaders/warmonggers) tune and become the tyrant commander, the other (Dimash) joins the resistance and fights for his family - innocent life of a child is caught in the crossfire, revenge leads to childhood friends becoming enemies and both dies - nobody wins in a war basically - that's the message for me. Dimash has produced a brilliant piece of work here in his depiction of the "senseless horrors" that war brings and that ordinary people can put a stop to it if they turn away from the Pipers and follow the light instead., Light being our inherent humanity which shuns violence, cruelty, greed and the vanity of man in the present. my 2cents. thanks for this lovely reaction!
He composed and wrote the script.

I interpret the scene of killing the dictator at the end of the video in three ways:
The most obvious one is that Dimash took revenge for the death of his daughter And that he probably thought his wife and unborn child were also killed
Second, by killing the dictator, he probably prevented the death of several million people
And my personal opinion is that Dimash showed the essence of war with this music video and that war forces people to kill each other.
Ohh I love your final interpretation! 😊
@@TheMuserResolute can you think of any reason why as a subscriber I would be unable to post a comment when I managed to do so about 5 hours ago???
@@GrannyRalls hey. Sometimes the channel automatically filters out links. I can go in and check this and restore it. I’ll let you know
@@TheMuserResolute it's the one fancam that most everyone has reacted to along with DQ's speech before he sang this song. Of course, someone has to have mentioned the whole concert was televised on KZ TV on December 31st 2022 with him uploading the entire concert to his official YT page (in 3 Parts).
I saw your comment and it seemed to have disappeared again quite quickly. It hasn't showed up on the "held for review" part which I have access to. I'll keep checking to see what the issue is, but sometimes things are filtered out. I'll have to check my settings. If need be, you can send it to me on message on my instagram too.
Dimash is the best, the only one, the living legend, Dimash is everything 😘😀❤️😘🏆
This masterpiece is very rich on so many levels: the composition, the vocal performance, the script, the lyrics, the direction, etc. I must have watched this a hundred times, and still discover more each time, like now with your few pointers on the composition. I remember Dimash mentioning three years ago that he was working on a major composition, then some time later, his mentioning getting stuck at a certain point in the composition, etc. As a musician, you naturally focused primarily on the music. As you rewatch this again and again, you will peel away all the layers, find all the symbolism in the script and the lyrics.
Regarding the killing: I think Dimash’s message is that some people find no way out except through killing but this is not the solution (as he gets killed in turn immediately, leaving his wife a widow and his newborn an orphan). The final Dimash, in my opinion, is again a symbolic one, joining the travelers or seekers of truth.
I read that Dimash made it clear that he is not advocating for people to kill dictators. Dimash himself is anti-violence. It is difficult to separate Dimash from his work due to his vocal and acting skill, but I see this as his portrayal of the tragic hero archetype. The hero is caught in brutal circumstances and is finally overwhelmed by his grief and anger. Yet at the end, even after killing the dictator, he lowers his weapon rather than continue killing. To me, Dimash uses this powerful archetypal story to express the brutality and pointlessness of war, not to condone it.
Yes! Indeed! DQ's grief drove him to seek revenge for his little daughter's life being snuffed out before she'd had a chance to live it like so many children past, present and sadly, in the future as well. This evil act is another product of war and tends to fuel the killing with an eye for an eye mentality. DQ recently said something to the effect that taking a life to save a life is just an excuse for killing and violent aggression. I agree with him yet, how do we stop the violence without using it?
I also see it as violence is always answered with more violence. The dictator’s war brings violence against the people. DQ’s character is driven to revenge - another act of violence. His vengeance is answered with a final act of violence where he himself is killed. Where does it end unless we make a conscious decision to stop killing and choose life instead? We’re choosing life. ❤
Thank you for the thoughtful reaction and discussion of the composition of the music. You made some interesting observations that added depth for me in how the music affects me on a subconscious level. Very interesting.
Just a Masterpiece 💝💗💜💖
What I love about Dimash is that he does not use his vocal abilities to show off, but to serve the song: through his voice, he’s telling us a story.
How can you not admire and respect such a wholesome artist with a beautiful heart and soul?
Dimash’s song, video, and message are so powerful and compelling: The Story of One Sky - that Dimash composed himself - is a heartfelt plea for peace and unity. Thus, although we are divided into different countries, races and faiths, we all share the same sky.
We could feel his pain, passion, and desperation in his heavy metal like scream because he truly cares.
Dimash has found his calling as an artist: presenting his Kazakh culture to the world, but also spreading compassion, love, respect, and unity through his voice and music.
Indeed, in this short film (it’s more than a simple MV at this point!), Dimash is showing us that war is NOT the path to peace. War does not unite people like the antagonist preaches; but leads to “senseless horror”, destruction, grief, and death. At the end, he shows us the alternative to war by leading people from different faiths and cultures to the true path of peace and unity.
At last, I admire Dimash’s strong conviction and courage. I hope that his heartfelt cry for peace and unity will be heard by many people around the world.
Again, thank you for your genuine appreciation of Dimash’s talent and work. The Story of One Sky is such a compelling masterpiece!
We’re choosing life… ☮️💟
Nobody wins a war, losing human lives is always a defeat, we all live under the same sky, regardless of creed, religion or politics. All of us, in situations of stress, choose life, our life.
Maravillosa canción, un mensaje a toda la humanidad, no más guerras necesitamos paz en nuestra tierra, Dimash y su maravillosa voz en ésta conmovedora historia, gracias y saludos desde Chile 🇨🇱✌️💜
Loved your reaction and your commentary. You can see his live performance of this song right away. it's available on youtuve already.
Thanks another great analysis Dimash Amazing omg
The little girl was his daughter‼‼‼‼‼
Спасибо вам за искреннюю реакцию, реакция была от души, спасибо большое.
It takes many viewings. ❤️
Tremenda obra,espero que los líderes del mundo algún día entiendan,y nosotros díganos basta, de seguir líderes mesiánicos, elijamos la vida,respetemos el amor unuversal.❤❤✌🏻por La Paz!!
These are my views on this amazing masterpiece 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 boy who was drowning was (Dimash's character as a child) made the necklaces that were given to the girl who grew up to be (Dimash's pregnant wife) and the boy who saved him who (grew up to be the military leader), possibly out of jealousy. The military leader waged his war 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.
The 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
There is live version of this song from Dimash’s concert in Almaty 09/23/2022. It’s fancam. Or 3rd part of concert Stranger from Dimash’s site. Dimash performance is out of this world. He left his heart on that stage. Highly recommend to react to it.
I've been trying to post the link to the fancam along with the speech he gave before he sang it but my comment below keeps disappearing:
💥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 (now available on DQ's official YT channel in 3 Parts of the televised version originally broadcast on 1-31-22 on KZ TV) 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" which will give you a better understanding of the song and Dimash's intentions. 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."

The performance is officialy uploaded on Dimash's channel now so let's promote that instead of promoting views to a fancam. The Story Of One Sky at the Almaty concert from Dimash's official channel: ruclips.net/video/YP1r9wlkmHU/видео.html
Great review!!! The video must be seen many times to get the details. I think every minute shot has meaning to the message Dimash is telling. While this is a message obviously pointed at the Pipers of the world, there are other interpretations. I have Pipers inside of me that I aimlessly follow. Addictions, drama, laziness... all things I follow that lead to destruction. This New Years, I'm trying to choose to not follow my personal evil Pipers... instead... I'M CHOOSING LIFE!!!!
Love your comments.
@@barbarasaracini1271 Me too
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. 🥹🥲🌹💔🎤🔝
Hi from Scotland! Thanks for your nformed reaction. Isn't he just the best?
I REALLY enjoyed your analysis of both the music composition and the story. The thing I think you missed, though, is that the "tyrant" is the little boy who saved Dimash's life when he was drowning as a child. I think you didn't notice the small pendant from the case on the beach that Dimash had made into a necklace for the three children and then showed up on the three ADULT children. So in essence (the way I see it), war turned these two childhood friends against each other. (And the little girl who was killed was Dimash's daughter.)
If you want to listen and react to the live version of this song (it would be great), please take it from the official version of the Almaty concert (part 3) on Dimash's official channel in excellent quality and sound. Just don't use the fan cam as it's not the best quality. This song and the way Dimash sang it live just deserves to be listened to in the best quality.
And about killing or dying at the end... I think the main idea is that "nobody wins in a war, everybody dies", it is so true.
Thank you.
Thank you so much for your analysis & your thoughtful response ❤️ It's very interesting actually to see Dimash develop on this. He loves action movies & playing soldier. So much so that his video for Golden which was quite violent as well made many people (me included) uncomfortable (not to mention all the harmful tropes, ugh) . However with this one I can see he's given it far more thought. He is realistic enough to understand that evil needs to be fought. That's why he is saying, we are past the moment of Imagine. No time to dream. And so his character, after finding his own daughter dead, feels only the desire to kill the childhood friend that murdered her. The message is that the very fact that evil needs to be fought perpetuates it, war feeds war.
This is why the ending is so important. The child wearing the pendant shows that he could become anyone, a hero or a tyrant. But it turns out that it's Dimash character returning, seeing how his shirt is soaked with blood just where he was shot. Only in this lifetime he chooses to unite people & religions, to change people's souls. He takes on the karma of all the killing if you will, and tasks himself with forging unity to prevent war from happening again. This is where Dimash sees himself musically & it's breathtaking. Not to mention how he is building the concept of the Stranger myth, the reborn warrior. What an amazing artist. If only he could stop comparing himself to MJ bc Dimash is the greater visionary in my book ❤️
Well, one day is here because Dimash sings this live in his most recent concert in Almaty ( Kazakhstan) and it is on his RUclips channel. It’s halfway in part 3 of the concert. The end is intense. What the shooting in this video is concerned, I was surprised too, especially because that leader is his childhood friend. What he’s trying to convey here is that violence begets violence, that there are no winners in war, just death and destruction . Btw, most religions are represented here, not just Abrahamic ones . Loved your reaction.❤☮
Much has been said and commented about this gorgeous work. I just want to point out that this 20:36 is not talked about enough. One of my favourite parts, so emotionally powerful for the scene and the song build-up. Genius. That's music for you, that's what it does. ❤️❤️
The two children are both his children. The first three children have grown up Dimash and the girl had the two children .As Dimash is dying he realised who lost and who won but its too late🖐At the end is the son of Dimash leading the way to the future....its up to us now. Each person will get something different in the hidden messages and there are many ,follow the necklaces for one thing they are everywhere x
This video tells us that in war no one wins. Everyone loses.
@@sipuana7661 Exactly and may the whole world listen 🌏🌍🌏
There is a live version of this (fan cam but not bad quality). Dimash does a brilliant job as always! His vocal ability second to none.
The woman giving birth was the girl in the beginning and she is Damash's wife‼‼‼‼‼‼‼
amazing
Послание Димаша человечеству!Любовь и Единство спасут мир!СпасиБО за реакцию...🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Honestly, just appreciate the genius of one modest musician with a great talent who is still very young and just spent 3 years of his life and lots of money to create his best possible message to people to promote tolerance and peace. Just look what other youngsters are pedalling to people on RUclips. Nobody else cares about the big issues. Just appressuate , no need to criticise in this case
Una obra maestra de Dimash. Todo es tan lleno de sentimiento que su voz toca el alma .. un gran mensaje al mundo
Yay, glad ur back Mike & w/ this, (I’m mind blown happy)!! ✌️♥️ 2U & Family
Dimash is brave for this imo. In a sea of Artists who follow the status quo .. he cares!! Fyi If interested in dropdown of MV (past credits) is a link to his website; Dimash-News. It explains the stories meaning, of the 3 kids that grew to diff ppl. Little Dimash & the girl as adults have a daughter (so that’s indeed his child in story). Then it’s Dimash’s son she gives birth to at end, who’ll lead ppl to the light (peace)!
Heya! Thank you so much for your generosity! Hope you've been well. I really wish I picked up on the meaning the first view through. If i've learnt anything from doing these videos, it's that I've got severe issues understanding storylines when music is involved. I think I focus so much on the music that I can't adequately divide my attention. I'm super grateful for all the comments here which have alerted me to what's actually going on in the story.
Hope you had a great new year!
Thank you for this reaction. Basically everything has been said so far. Maybe a little note from me. The text that appears at the end is a quote from a long statement "Document on "Human Fraternity for World Peace and Living Together" signed by His Holiness Pope Francis and the Grand Imam of Al Azhar Ahamad al-Tayyib (Abu Dhabi, 4 February 2019) , 04.02.2019".
It was probably around that time in 2019 when Dimash started to write the music of the song and to write the script for the video.
Dimash met both the Pope and the Grand Imam (who wrote this document) at the 7th Congress of World and Traditional Religions in Astana Kazakhstan this year just before the video was released. He also premiered this song live at this congress with a different imagery in the background.
You are the first reactor making comments on his brilliant composition. I have been waiting for this to happen. It’s so interesting for me. Thank you!
Para mi el mensaje de Dimash es que la violencia solo engendra mas violencia, y en la guerra mucha gente muere, no sólo soldados, sino civiles, entre ellos niños. El odio que se experimenta entre personas que ni siquiera se conocen es espeluznante. Pensar que en ambos lados morirá gente que no tiene nada que ver con la guerra y que aún no estando de acuerdo con ella esos líderes obligan a tantos a cometer actos cobardes por el ansia de poder es impactante. Y luego, al ver matar a Dimash y luego morir acribillado me causó una enorme tristeza pues una vida tan valiosa como la suya y la de cualquiera puede terminar solo para alcanzar los objetivos de esos líderes inmorales y corruptos. Dimash siempre ha estado a favor de la paz. Y su objetivo es concientizarnos de lo que sucede cuando nos dejamos guiar por las personas y las razones equivocadas. Gracias por tu reacción. Saludos desde México
Я думаю, что Димаш показал, что никому не будет лучше, если убьют только лидера. Убийства продолжатся по кругу. Все умрут и ничего не изменится. И герой, которого играет Димаш, принимает неправильное решение, он забирает жизнь. А вот его сын идет другим путем, сложным. Он идет в одну сторону с другими людьми. Разными по вероисповеданию и нациям, но он идет к свету. Он выбирает жизнь, а его отец выбрал смерть.. Я увидела эту историю так
вы неправильно поняли клип. Сочувствую вам. Наши отцы и деды убивали фашистов на нашей территории -это было оборона и возмездие. Но они не убивали мирных людей,детей и матерей. Грош цена солдату ,мужу если не защитит свой дом,свою семью от поругания со стороны насильника и тирана. Подумайте сами в клипе,герой клипа лишился любимой беременной жены,убили его маленькую дочь и как же он должен продолжать жизнь,если его страны,дом разрушен. Это будет самый несчастный человек ибо дорогого человека никем и ничем не заменить, никакие сокровища мира,ведь память утраты остается до конца жизни и кто это выдержит?.
В фильме "Ворошиловский стрелок" дед изнасилованной внучки отомстил трем насильникам ибо надежды не было на правосудие. Один из насильников имел отца Главным прокурором играл эту роль актер Александр Пороховщиков.
@@user-su7ro2mr1v вам не нужно мне "сочувствать" речь идет об изначальном выборе. Это долгая и сложная тема. Но любая ведетта, пораждает вендетту. И герой Димаша в конце, упал назад в воду, потому что убил того, кто когда-то его из воды вытащил, дав шанс на его любовь, детей и тд. Димаш капнул намного глубже. Именно это падение в воду взрослого героя и его крик о том, что всегда надо выбирать жизнь. Вот это зерно повествования. А про дедов и отцов тоже очень сложно. Я из потомков прволжских немцев. Из 24 человек с 1939 по 1942 выжили 3. И это были не фашисты, кто их убивал, грабил и насиловал. Что же теперь мне, как потомку на русских кидаться? Я выбираю жизнь, хоть и знаю боль и горе моей бабушки, которую русские провели через ад. И она не озлобилась, нашла силы воспитывать сына ( моего самого лучшего на свете папу) Так, что жизнь она намного сложнее фильма " Ворошиловский стрелок" кстати фильм отличный, до мурашек.

Путь мести может показаться единственным, что приносит справедливость, но он несет боль и тьму! Убийство диктатора казалось неизбежным, чтобы остановить войну, но путь света метафорически представлялся бурями, смятением и болью до осознания «выбора» жизни, принесшей свет, мир, единство и новую жизнь. руководство к миру! Вот что я понял... Большое объятие из Бразилии! // --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- // O caminho da vingança pode parecer o único que gera justiça, porém traz dor e escuridão! Matar o ditador parecia inevitável para parar a guerra, mas, no caminho da luz, metaforicamente foi representado por tempestades, confusão e dor, até a percepção de "escolher" a vida que trouxe a luz, a paz, a união e uma nova vida como guia para a paz! Foi o que entendi... Um grande abraço do Brasil!
Про название этого РЕКВИЕМА не забывайте. Это не просто убийство каких-то людей - это два бывших друга детства. Точнее их трое - два друга и их подруга. Один из них тоже уверен, что война - путь к миру
La mejor canción de Dimash 💯💯🇨🇷❤️
Would you snap and kill your former friend who saved you from drowning and became a monster dragging people in a senseless war and ultimately be responsible to your little daughter be killed? Hard question. Definitely understandable and not even surprising especially if you could stop further killing too. Could I do it? I don't think so but... I fortunately never was in such horrible situation. Even Dimash's character seams to simply give up he stands motionless and broken and let himself be shot. I think he tries to show how completely senseless war is - three children, friends and in the end two of them dead and the child of one of them too, the third a widow losing her husband, daughter and a former friend - just like he said "senseless horror". In his "son" leading the survivers of different religion in peace to the light Dimash is showing the answer, Don't follow crazy Pipers/leaders into destruction just turn away...
Brilliant interpretation! I'm with you.
Thank you 😊 i love reading all of these comment as it has given so much context!
Exactly!!
Спасибо за реакцию! Очень хочу увидеть вршу реакцию на концерте Димаша в Алмаэты, это было живое исполнение, я до сих пор в шоке. Димаш гений!
Это было безумное выступление, крик души!
пересматриваю уже очень много раз этот концерт в трех частях и остановиться трудно..
Great reaction!!! Dimash the best
По сюжету оба мальчика из одного города. Поэтому персонаж Димаша участвует не в освободительной, а в гражданской войне. Обе стороны противостояния возглавляют Крысоловы (обратите внимание на нарукавные нашивки обеих сторон). Таким образом один из персонажей стал сам Крысоловом, а второй персонаж (его играет Димаш) находится под влиянием Крысолова. Когда персонаж Димаша приходит убивать Диктатора (своего спасителя), то в мире праведников, идущих к свету и добру, начинается буря. Персонаж Димаша в момент смерти РАСКАИВАЕТСЯ, ибо видит во флэшбеках как он убивал своих противников, но при этом кричит, ЧТО ВЫБИРАЕТ ЖИЗНЬ. Он делает вывод о ПЕРВИЧНОЙ ЦЕННОСТИ ЖИЗНИ ДЛЯ ВСЕХ БЕЗ ИСКЛЮЧЕНИЯ. Именно это озарение позволяет ему переродиться в лучшей версии себя, и он больше никогда не возьмёт в руки оружие и не примкнет ни к каким сторонам конфликтов. Воин в его душе окончательно уходит на дно небытия.
Не отождествляйте персонажа Димаша с самим Димашем. В руках его персонажа оружие, но сам Димаш против оружия. Он говорит об этом в клипе прямо и недвусмысленно.
/////
According to the plot, both boys are from the same city. Therefore, the character of Dimash does not participate in the liberation war, but in the civil war. Both sides of the confrontation are led by Ratcatchers (note the sleeve patches on both sides). Thus, one of the characters became a Pied Piper himself, and the second character (played by Dimash) is under the influence of a Pied Piper. When the character of Dimash comes to kill the Dictator (his savior), a storm begins in the world of the righteous, going towards the light and goodness. Dimash's character at the moment of death REPENTS, because he sees in flashbacks how he killed his opponents, but at the same time shouts WHAT LIFE CHOOSE. He draws a conclusion about the PRIMARY VALUE OF LIFE FOR EVERYONE WITHOUT EXCEPTION. It is this insight that allows him to be reborn in the best version of himself, and he will never again take up arms and join any side of the conflict. The warrior in his soul finally goes to the bottom of nothingness.
Do not identify the character of Dimash with Dimash himself. His character has weapons in his hands, but Dimash himself is against weapons. He talks about it in the clip directly and unequivocally.
спасибо!
Спасибо! Никогда не слышала подобную трактовку...
Any good work always allows the viewer to become a co-author, allows us to create interpretations ourselves, but within the limits of the main author's message. A complex work often requires repeated careful viewing.
Dimash's first message: we are born equal, pure, potentially good people. Children are an unwritten book in which life can fit any plot.
We see three friends who, as children, are full of nobility and courage (an older boy selflessly saves his friend), a thirst for knowledge of the world and a thirst to share these discoveries. However, already at these stages, the first signs of disagreement appear: a brave boy, pumping out a friend, looks for approval from a girl with his eyes. He wants to look like a hero in her eyes. But the girl does not notice this, her heart has already been given to another, and only his fate cares about her. That's the first disappointment of life - a feat will not make you a hero. You can't expect a fair reward from people. A friend may not meet your expectations.
What other disappointments will this boy know, who eventually transforms from a selfless young man into a ruthless and cynical dictator?
The amulet (the arrow of the solar clock showing both time and direction) has become a symbol of different ideas in the hands of our heroes. For a couple in love, it is a symbol of unity, indicating their common path (they have become a married couple, they have a daughter and a son will be born in the final). Another boy never accepted this amulet as a symbol of friendship (he does not wear it on his chest near his heart), he bent it in a fit of rage (thus the arrow stopped pointing the right way) and used this amulet upside down as a symbol of his false inverted ideals. He became a dictator (in the lyrics of the song - a Pied Piper, who draws children to destruction with the sounds of his lying flute).
Many years later we see that the Dictator unleashed a bloodbath in the name of his false ideals. Many believe that Dimash portrays the opposing side of Good to Evil. I see something else.
A patch on the sleeve of Dimash's character is poked into our eyes several times: a complex interweaving of sharp corners and circles. Dimash's character is not a leader, he is an ordinary soldier who has also taken some ideological side. What do these circles and angles represent? Who stands behind Dimash's character and pushes him into battle? Maybe he's protecting his city from invasion? Apparently not! Everything points to the fact that this is a civil war, because the action takes place in their hometown. All three of them lived in this city, and now they are feuding and destroying their home.
Waldenberg in this clip is the personification of the whole planet. We all live under the same sky. And in this sense, ANY WAR is a civil war, fueled by various but ALWAYS false ideas, including territorial claims. I think this is the second message of Dimash, directly following from the title of the clip.
Therefore, behind the back of Dimash's character is another exactly the same Pied Piper, with complex, confusing and false ideas pushing his followers into this meat grinder.
The plaque with the name of the city in Gothic script Waldenberg is a direct reference to the real German city of Waldenburg, completely destroyed by Allied troops during World War II, when there was no need at all, because by the end of the war there were mostly only women and children in this city. The one who was supposed to bring good brought evil.
Dimash's third message is that war has no good sides. All participants in wars are somehow agents of evil.
Is it an accident that Waldenburg translates as "The City of Waldemar"? Well, or Vladimir in the Slavic version. Both leaders of the modern confrontation are called Vladimir ...
Dimash certainly sympathizes with his character, he understands what exactly drives his hero, but does not justify his actions.
When his character, driven by anger, despair and revenge, comes to the Dictator for retribution, then a storm begins in a world where souls of different faiths, cultures, ethnicities, epochs who have chosen the road to light (good) have been walking along a thorny road for thousands of years of human history! Dimash's character, having killed his savior, thanks to whom he lived all these years, immediately receives karma in return and returns to the waters of nothingness, where he should have stayed many years ago. At the moment of death, the thirst for life gives him the last most powerful life lesson: acceptance of the idea of the primordial value of human life. FOR EVERYONE WITHOUT EXCEPTION! Even for a Dictator! Even for his daughter's murderers! This is the fourth very important message of Dimash. In a near-death epiphany, his hero sees in flashbacks the moments of his life, both bright (shots from his childhood) and unrighteous (shots of how he takes the lives of his opponents). Dimash's fifth message is to rethink your values, it's never too late to repent. It is this repentance that allows the soul of Dimash's character to transform and be reborn in the best version of himself. The waters into which our hero fell are also an allegory for amniotic fluid, an allegory of reincarnation in the body of his newborn son, who, having received such a powerful life attitude from his father, will never take up arms again and will not join any side of the conflict.
The soul of a warrior sinks to the bottom of Nothingness completely. All three characters die in this story at the same time, allowing a new soul to be born, giving hope for a better future for Humanity. Dimash is a Muslim, and he does not preach the idea of reincarnation. Reincarnation here is just a metaphor necessary to convey his messages.
The souls of the righteous, who once accepted the simple truth about the primary value of human life, raising their hands to the dazzling Light that flooded the horizon, meet their new follower, who joined their march towards Light and Goodness. He is an equal among them, who has accepted his mission as a shepherd, among others, each of whom carries his mission on this path: someone blows a horn, calling for unification, someone brings enlightenment to the masses (a book is a symbol of knowledge), someone carries his cross, and someone leaves the race unable to withstand the hardships of the way.
The fifth message of Dimash - the simple acceptance of the idea of renouncing weapons and violence will allow each of us to join this stream of righteous souls. Only when WE ALL join this stream, only then will the wars stop.
Dimash wrote the music and script for this video based on his own long-standing story. Everything we see and hear is the flesh of the flesh of feelings, thoughts, ideas of Dimash. Dimash is an ancient soul.
I too love that Dimash communicates Universally in word and song! 💖 I wrote in a comment to a fancam live version of this song that Dimash is the Prince of song and peace. And a few people wrote to me this: "Please don't call Dimash the Prince of Peace because that title has been taken by Jesus". I am very spiritual but I do not identify or belong to any religion, and I never would. While I respect all religions, I see myself as a soul among souls, a citizen of the Universe, a child of Infinite Light along with all other beings of all orders everywhere in all Universes. And I thought wow, do you honestly believe Christ is thinking "That's right, that's my title, don't anybody ever use it or call anyone that either! 🤣I want only myself to be called that"? So I appreciate greatly that Dimash communicates about love and peace very universally. Example: he could have sung Ave Maria like it has already been sung 10 million times with the same lyrics. But instead he chose to express it without a particular nations language, and he instead he chose to use vibrational sound energy generated purely from the depths of his soul; so that I consider it doesn't matter what your native language may be, everyone can understand the universal music of the soul, and most especially the universality of this GREAT soul named Dimash!! 💝
Requiem: The Story of One Sky
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 as the military insignia on the uniforms of the commander and his soldiers but distorted and without the hole that allows light to shine through rendering it useless as a compass. When we lose the original intent of a symbol by twisting it into something it is not or by just paying lip service, it no longer has any spiritual meaning. At best it becomes a useless prop, at worst it is used to mislead and manipulate people.
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 close to the end of the war in April 1945 in the part of Germany where I grew up. 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? War is not the answer. We must find better ways to keep evil in check. iowaculture.gov/.../american-troops-move-through
The last movement 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 birth are both sacraments and are interwoven in the tapestry of life.
Dimash's vocalization and the pilgrims representing world religions and religious leaders, past and present, walking together shift the narrative toward the final conflict and finally redemption.
When Dimash’s character decides to avenge the murder of his daughter, his state of consciousness is reflected in the darkening sky with lightning bolts of anger accompanying the storm of his emotions that buffets the pilgrims and hinder progress. The fog of war obscures the light. When he is killed after exacting retribution, he is dropped back into the "sacred womb" of Earth, the ocean of love and mercy, and is cleansed of the old hatreds and grievances that only bring more death and suffering. He breaks the wheel of endless war and suffering by choosing life.
Dimash's scream of “we’re choosing life” is that of giving birth: the old earthly consciousness of an eye for an eye has to die to make way for a new spiritual consciousness that embraces all life. Soul is breaking free to return to its natural state of love and purity as exemplified by the images of the children and the newborn baby.
The blowing of the shofar signals God's mercy for humankind when it turns from wrong to right: in the Zohar, the book of Jewish mysticism, it says: “When human beings repent of their sins, they blow the shofar on earth. Its sound ascends On High and awakens the heavenly shofar, and so mercy is aroused, and judgment is removed.”
Reborn as a leader for peace and love, Dimash's character in the form of his son becomes a 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 darkness's 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, and 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.
Thank you so much for your reaction!! Dimash has released three videos from his Almaty concert and he sings Story Of One Sky
This just a character.. and I think “we” means you, me, him, and the other who lives in this world have right to do something to choosing the good thing to make peace, together.. everyone in this one sky ‘cos we need peace.. we have to stand together holding hand to protect each other, one voice one heart one sky.. Oh I dreamed it.. and thanks a lot to Dimash with his song and everything make me speechless to deliver the messege to all of us.. and I think the new born boy describe the new generation who lives in peace after the grazy piper not axis in this world.. is it..?? and I like your React.. peace from Indonesia 😊 sorry if I wrong, I just poured out what was in my head..
the film is based on a story written by Dimash with his own screenplay. (I worked on this piece for 3 years). Director Alina Veripya spoke about creating the music video for the new song: the clip is divided into several parts. The first is about childhood. The main character, two friends linked by childhood stories and symbols of eternal friendship. One day the friend saves the protagonist when he drowns. However, there is already competition in these children's story, where the boys love one girl and she chooses one. The second goes through a kind of psychological The disintegration and transformation of children's problems into an adult world of totalitarianism and struggle. When he becomes a commander, the opponent carries the idea of saving the war: the young boy who presents the tokens of friendship he made will marry the girl (Dimash). She will give birth. A baby girl (murdered) and a mother waiting for another baby. Friends were scattered, and the third friend became an enemy, friends are enemies, because of the war, It is shocking how the cry of true helplessness of a father embracing his murdered daughter is practically coupled with the cries of a woman in labor who brings a child into the traumatized world of soldier (Dimash). That he was searching for his family and that he had found the dead body of his daughter and I think believing that his pregnant wife had also died, and felt the death of life, he decides, as the only way out in that moment of uncontrollable pain is revenge. He killed the evil embodied in his opponent, and then was killed by soldiers' bullets. ,and when Dimash died, his son was born, and the mother died during childbirth. But the boy is saved by his society of different religions and races, he wears his mother's talisman. He will surely grow up and become a messenger of peace on earth, like a worthy son of his father.A symbol of a future without evil, without wars, a world moving towards peaceful coexistence. The light of hope and peace on earth,In a world without walls, without unfair constraints, without differences or contempt for different ethnic groups or nations because the supreme value above all is: love and peace We are all human beings, we share the same planet Earth, and we owe each other as "brothers" the respect for life. In the end, he joined with people of different races and religions from another era that touches the present and the future In a world without walls, without unfair constraints, without differences or contempt for different ethnic groups or nations because the supreme value above all is: love and peace We are all human beings, we share the same planet Earth, and we owe each other as "brothers" the respect for life. ,Piper represents the force Totalitarian, oppressor who is not alien to us and who understands that war is the way to make people free (real nonsense).Piper (is the name of a soldier's opponent, a soldier who only hates, annihilates and destroys. What a paradox for a friend who, in his childhood, saves soldier Dimash from drowning. But life is like this, full of changes, good and bad, Evil, war and contempt happen when we lose love for one another, and our way to God and making peace and love in the world is not difficult but possible if we work together for love and peace and stop wars, hate and contempt. It is about calling for cooperation, to save lives, love, friendship and the land of our children. “Art is a sacred message in life, and these are the true artists.. And the earth needs these reformers in their precious, true and immortal work for the sake of love and peace on earth..Thank God for his gifts
Good to see you again, I hope you had a good Christmas and New Year! I didn't have time to watch the whole video before work but, as always, it seems like a great one so far!
It’s a long one! Hope you’ve been well 😊
Congrats on the reaction! Well, some considerations: (1) The artifact that the boy found in the trunk and that was turned into necklaces is a "gnomon", a needle for a sundial (a rustic device for keeping time); (2) The name "Piper" (piper, or piper) is known as a synonym for "dictator", "despot": This originates from the tale of the "Pied Piper of Hamelin" (folk tale rewritten by the Brothers Grim), where a piper was hired to deal with the rat infestation of the city of Hamelin (Germany, 1284). After hypnotizing the rats with his magic flute and drowning them in the Weser, the artist went to collect the amount owed (one coin per head) and was not paid (they alleged that he did not present the "heads" of the rats). He then hypnotized one hundred and thirty children from the city of Hamelin and locked them in a cave. Yeah, well, the "pied piper" (also called "ratcatcher") has become synonymous with the tyrant who uses a mesmerizing speech and leads to death! (3) The term "Imagine" refers to the song of the same name by John Lennon; (4) The final text is part of the document generated at the VII Congress of Leaders of World and Traditional Religions, held in Nur-Sultan (Kazakhstan) on 09/14/2022 and was attended by Pope Francis, representing the Catholic Church.
He shows people from different religions walking together in peace. I feel the same as you. I may want the monsters gone but I couldn't kill them, having said that, given the right circumstance if it was one's life on the line or families we probably would kill. Until one is actually in a life-or-death situation one can't say.❤❤❤❤
You are right. It’s absolutely impossible to know how we are going to react until we are actually in that position
It’s amazing to see the arc of your Dimash travels. From starting in a place of, “I know this clickbait.” to this composition is heartwarming. I thank you for every video you have made. In case it wasn’t clear or obvious, the “Commander”, the soldier, and the woman giving birth are the three children on the beach. The necklaces are the symbol for that.
Again, thank you for your analysis of this piece.
Many people that believe in peace are forced to go to war because of tyrannical leaders. This is a masterpiece with a message that is a prayer for the world. We all need to walk with spiritual teachers toward the light before we get to the other side.
The clip is divided into several parts. The first one is about childhood. The main character, 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.

♥️🙏♥️🙏♥️🙏♥️♥️
The girl that died was Dimash daughter. The woman who gave birth was his wife and she died, too. You said you wont kill any bad guys..but let me ask you this. What happen if all your families, your love ones, your young beautiful children killed by this bad guys because of their own agenda. And opportunity comes that you can end their attrocities by ending their life, will you not do it still? You said who are we to decide?...but who are they to decide as well to kill innocent people and if they wont be stopped, they will just keep going to kill more. So does your love ones lives doesnt matter? If we are not in this kind of circumstances, its easy to make a decision, unless a complex situation arises, our views and beliefs wont be challenged and change to a different outcome. For me, im willing to sacrifice for the benefits of my love ones..no questions needed❤ dear from canada

I sobbed for 3 days. Heartbreaking and beautiful.
"Life is a journey. Man is a caravan." I think those are the words. (I wish those words had subtitles.)
Dimash's character was trying to save his family and people.
People have to take up arms in defense. They can't just roll over and die. It is human to try to stay alive. It is in our DNA. They don't choose it. In this story the dictator is killing his family, trying to kill him.
I think this shocked us all to see Dimash with a gun. (Not something many young men and women would choose when they would rather be playing, falling in love, studying, singing.)
When he killed his childhood friend, it was TRAGIC. Then, when he was killed, we almost feel every bullet, because we love him. When he screams under water, I hear the pain of all the soldiers who died in all the wars.
Excelente reacción. Gracias🙏 Y me quedo con estas palabras de Dimash: “Todos somos hijos de un planeta y vivimos bajo un cielo. La vida es lo más valioso” 🤍🕊️🤍
Hello 👋
🙏🙏🙏✌❤
Let it not be lost that , as fate would have it, the Dimash soldier character having lost his daughter to this conflict, is faced with, in revenge, killing the boy who saved his life. It shows the futility of war and the persistence of violence in destroying humanity. In the end he also loses his wife and his own life. The hope is with his son who joins those of all faiths toward the light of something better for our future.
Late to seeing this reaction. Dimash uses the same key change from minor to major right at the end of Quiran Elim along with a change in lighting.
The little girl is his daughter the woman is his wife the bad general is his former friend....all three of the main characters and the three children at the beginning of the song.
hi said middle song in Qazaqh ..human is caravan. life is a way.
