Metal Vocalist First Time Reaction - Dimash - The Story of One Sky

[@AliciaTraylor-nz6og]

This is a video worth watching over and over again. You'll catch something new each time. Everying about this video is powerful. There's a line that says, "We have passed the moment of "Imagine". That one line says so much.

[@heiderosekober379]

The title itself - “Story of One Sky” - is thought-provoking. Before Islam became the predominant religion in Kazakhstan, the nomadic people of the steppes followed Tengriism with Father Sky and Mother Earth as deities. Like many old pantheistic religions, its core tenet was the “unity of all things” since everything in the natural world is animated by and connected through spirit. This concept of spiritual unity lives on in Kazakh traditions, music and poetry. It is subtitled "Requiem” to commemorate and mourn all those who have died in war and in the struggle for peace, but it is also a vision for the future and a call to action to save ourselves and our world. Raised in an observant Muslim household, classically trained in music, educated in world and Kazakh history, and immersed in literature and folklore, Dimash has a deep understanding of sacred music and the mystic teachings and symbolism of the major world religions as well as ancient traditions, so 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 it is 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. Dimash interweaves the past and the present, the ancient and the modern, throughout this work. Alluding to more contemporary music, 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 to be achieved by erasing our differences and giving up our identities. The world is complex, cultural roots run deep, and people experience life quite differently across the globe. If we choose life, if we wish for peace, if we want a world without war for our children and grandchildren, we must find common ground while respecting our differences 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. We see that happening every day around us. 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. Many of us remember the story of the Pied Piper of Hameln from our childhood. 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 war, who do not support 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. There are no winners in war. Dimash is right: war is death. 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 and punctuated by the sound of Tibetan bells that create a sacred space, reminding us that death and birth are both sacraments and are interwoven in the tapestry of life. The birth underground is reminiscent of the sacred cave Akmeshit (White Mosque) found in Southern Kazakhstan, an ancient place of power said to heal diseases and cure infertility. Dimash's vocalization and the pilgrims representing world religions and religious leaders, past and present, walking up the sacred mountain together shift the narrative toward the final conflict and finally redemption. With the mountain scenes, Dimash alludes to another sacred place in Kazakhstan on the Kazakh/Russian border, Ice Mountain, which is referred to by the local Altai residents as “The dwelling of the Gods” and by Buddhists as the location of the Shambhala, the legendary country of Gods. When Dimash’s character decides to avenge the murder of his daughter, his state of consciousness is reflected in the darkening of the sky with lightning bolts of anger accompanying the storms 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 also 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.” There is a very moving scene where pilgrims bury a man who perished on the journey. Men of different faiths come together to honor his life and his passing. This reverent expression of love and unity stands in stark contrast to the commander’s harsh pronouncement that it is war that unites people. 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. As the hymn goes: "Let there be peace on earth and let it begin with me." Dimash is a very spiritual person, so using the symbols and sounds of the major world religions is fitting for this work. For those who do not subscribe to any faith tradition, I want to mention Neil DeGrasse Tyson’s latest book “Starry Messenger” where this agnostic scientist calls for the need to develop a cosmic perspective along with the rationality of science to solve the intractable human conflicts that so often lead to war. It is on that HIGHER ground - be it in religion, humanism, or science - that we can find COMMON ground.

I experienced that song live. OmG!! I cried my eyes off, because the beauty of the song and the depth of the lyrics got too overwhelming. This is, according to my opinion, the best and most versatile in both composition and vocals that a human being ever generated. Dimash is a genius!!! I will never stop to admire his abilities. What an artist! Whenever I will have the time and financial means I will visit his concerts - even if the concert took place on the north pole. Experiencing Dimash live is indescribable. I got addicted.

[@Heatherjoyb]

I'm with you. It was the most profound moment - it honestly felt as if angels descended on that stadium. Only those who were there will understand that I'm not exaggerating.

Dimash’s masterpiece! He is just the greatest vocalist of this generation! I can’t stop admiring his voice! He deserves to be known worldwide! Thanks for your reactions to Di! We, the dears, appreciate that❤

[@RachelSantiago816]

9:33 FACTS!!! He is friends with Jackie Chan, so we may get our wish :) And we've already seen him acting during "Golden", "Be With Me', and other videos and programs.

[@sharonmadjar]

I know that a lot of fans will tell you to listen to the Almaty concert version. That performance happened before the song was officially out. I don’t think Dimash planned to sing it live. Also he performs this song towards the end of a three and a half hour concert so he is careful with his voice. If you watch Anatalya recent concert he sang about half of it live and it is gorgeous! There are only fan cams for this concert right now. It’s worth it though to listen to Dimash’s concerts because his live performances and improvisations are stunning

[@loveyourlifenow]

OMG thank you 😊 why is everybody saying that was sang live... I just can't believe it. Part live in Antalya and almost all in Armenia, I've been in all 3 concerts and definitely prefer the live, less perfect versions 😊

[@sharonmadjar]

@@loveyourlifenow I think because the fans at Almaty heard it for the first time before the MV was out they thought that. Sometimes people don’t realize how important it is for a musician to show the perfect production of a musical creation where he wrote the music for the vocals and the instrumental music. If he sang it live it wouldn’t be the same perfect finished work which he worked so hard on.

[@agnesregards2286]

Live at Almaty concert! Friggin' amazing!.

[@debbiemorgan859]

This, this is why we love him so much. Not just because of his vocals but because of the way he uses his platform to spread a message of peace around the world. He loves humanity in all its vibrant colours, shapes and forms. If you could only see moments from the Almaty concert, he stands on that huge stage and looks over the crowd often with the gentle smile of a loving father watching his children, there was something so innocent and yet so godlike in his whole presence that night. The third part of that concert (which is on his channel) is where you will find the best live performance. And yes, he can act his ass off! We've longed for him to do a movie but he's of the opinion that artists should stay in their own lane unfortunately. Although if his friend Jackie Chan were to ask, he probably wouldn't say no. Btw, he's such a great actor that you probably didn't realise that he appears in the video right from the first appearance of the soldiers, he's the one creeping along under the shelter, emerging to shoot the enemy soldier and the one following the soldier into the building and ending up getting shot in the arm.

[@BeckyNicholas]

he is such an all around performer ❤❤ however on top of that he's not afraid to promote peace, no war and love regardless if its "good or bad for his career". Would love to see you react to his live performance of this song. Forward to 23:18 of this video....he speaks about the song before singing it and it has English subtitles. kzbin.info/www/bejne/j4GUo2ytodCgfrc

[@nicevinci_dear]

Thank you for your great and empathetic reaction. Now you know why many Dears adviced you to wait to see this. In The Story Of One Sky he sings the whole soundtrack himself. The video shows once again that Dimash is an absolute genius. In singing but also as an actor (and yes, we all want to see him badly in a whole movie) 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 simply unbelievable. 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. You probably have to see it more than once to understand it. 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 little 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 that was born and now as a grown man unites people of different nationalities and religions for peace. It’s funny how very few reactors realize that the soldiers shot in the arm at the beginning of the war scenes was Dimash. 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. Can you imagine, a Muslim receiving an award from the head of the Catholic Church. How wonderful is that🥰. He also 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. kzbin.info/www/bejne/aHSYZpRpotuZhg The official live version of his concert (on September 23, 2022 in front of 30,000 people from 68 different countries) is available on his channel Almaty concert part 3 from minute 23:15 with a short speech in which he performed the song for the first time. You should definitely see this. There are subtitles in English kzbin.info/www/bejne/j4GUo2ytodCgfrc And he's been singing it in all his concerts ever since. But always a little different. Greetings and love from Germany❤️

Gran obra de arte,lo que siente sú cuerpo,mente, alma y espíritu,nos representa en éste video desgarrador,pero verdadero,por guerras provocadas por culpa de hombres siniestros con ambiciones desmedidas de poder!! Pero no se trata sólo de éso.Secuencias qué vivimos cada día, cómo seres humanos, luchas continuas, vida donde deberíamos buscar la paz, en nuestros día a día, sin acepción de religiones,ni razas,ni color, un gran mensaje para la humanidad,hoy sufriendo mucho por distintas causas,un mensaje de lo qué provoca, la falta de paciencia, mansedumbre, empatía hacia el otro, y ésto se comienza desde nuestros hogares. Después de la tormenta sale el sol??? Bueno el nos quiere decir que tratemos de no llegar a la tormenta,porque ahí llega el sufrimiento. La muerte injusta de los inocentes,en cualquier acto,es muy triste, pasa qué el mundo no está valorando los afectos,vale más lo material, las nimiedades, que los sentimientos. Vemos a todo tipo de personas,de razas, de credos en busca de un nuevo mundo¡¡,Siempre se puede encontrar la paz!!!. Es sú mayor preocupación, LA Paz!!! Es el mayor y más joven predicador de la Paz mundial. Y en éste video enfoca lo que provoca no sólo la guerra, sino nuestros malos actos,de distintas maneras, qué con el tiempo terminamos mal cómo humanidad! Falta de unión, hermandad, amor al prójimo!! Qué decir de ésta canción, con una tremenda, hermosa letra y ésos gritos desgarradores, pidiendo que ELIJAMOS LA VIDA!!! y sú voz tan grandiosa cómo siempre,nos seguimos sorprendiendo!!!! La mejor obra de arte,el mejor Réquiem de éstos tiempos!!! Que merece ser premiado, por los mejores premios, en todo el mundo 🌏, porque todo el mundo debería verlo, y debe ser reconocido,. Gracias mi querido Príncipe, sos un ejemplo para muchos!!! Felicidades te amamos tús Dears del mundo 🌎!! Dear Mónica Leguizamon de Buenos Aires Argentina!!! ELEGIMOS LA PAZ! ELEGIMOS LA UNIÓN! ELEGIMOS LA VIDA!! 🤴🌟🙏😔🇰🇿🇦🇷🌍🕊🕊🕊🌹🌹🌹😃🥰😘🤍🤍🤍♥️♥️♥️ Me encantó tú estupenda reacción, tús grandes palabras, todo éso y mucho más quiere decir Dimash en éste video que le llevó componerlo 3 años, antes de la guerra actual 😢, yo creo que los poderosos se quieren adueñar de todo y no les importa quien muere, no les importa nada. Gracias y no sé si vistes en el recital en kasajistan, lo cantó, te lo recomiendo, lloras, temblas, muchos más que el video. En vivo creo que escucharlo es algo, irreal!!! Abrazos!!!❤❤

His most demanding song and most demanding for our ears, eyes and souls to listnen to. A Masterpiece in the true sense of the word. Dimash is simply magnificent. Thanks John for this amazing reaction. I know last video you got some heat, but the Dears are a bunch of passionate people, like Dimash himself, like you yourself! Much love ❤❤

Hearing him sing this ‘live’ is stunning and SO moving - the most unbelievable performance! Plymouth UK 🇬🇧

[@silvialuna8023]

Dimash, tiene su propia productora. Él no se vende a ninguna compañia discográfica. Gracias por tu reacción. Ahora escucha la versión en vivo en Almaty, deja el alma en el escenario. #graciasdimash

[@heatherwinward8231]

Have been really looking forward to your reaction to this particular epic by Dimash.

[@DL2010000]

Hello John! 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 walking under the overpass 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. He is a Legend and will go down in History. This is my breakdown of the story, as I see it: This mini movie is full of symbolisms, it's the story of 3 youths, and the necklace which was created by the young Dimash and shared with his friends symbolizing lifelong friendship and unity. The boys both loved the same girl, but she loved Dimash, and the other boy grew resentment with time and grew up to become the Piper and started a war, using the symbol of the necklace as the crest on his army uniform. 1) Dimash, was the boy drowning at the beginning and at the end. 2) The Piper, is the one who saved Dimash, became the leader, and 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 affected 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. I’M CHOSING LIFE!!🙏🙏 See you in your next reaction. Love from Canada 💖

#thankyoudimash I've been waiting for you to get to this video. I knew it would touch you in so many ways, like it has me. The part where Dimash holds his murdered daughter still breaks me up. (I have two daughters myself and can only imagine how I would react under such circumstances, but I believe Dimash absolutely nailed it.) As always, I was blown away by his vocals, but the artistry with which he composed this masterpiece and his acting ability was sheer perfection!!!! Thank you so much for responding to this, John! You can view his live performance of this at kzbin.info/www/bejne/f3mamZuJrJt2nLc It was recorded at his Almaty concert in Kazakhstan last fall. It's a fan cam, but it's pretty good.

[@tatyanakorovin2356]

Thank you John for your heartfelt reaction! It’s a true Masterpiece from Dimash! He composed the music and wrote a script for mv. I highly recommend to react to his live version of this song There you really can concentrate on his voice. It’s no less impressive than mv. He premiered it on September 23, 2022 at Almaty concert. It’s in the 3rd part of the concert. His performance was unbelievable! He left his heart on that stage! And the most important message for all of us- “We are choosing life!”, “We need peace!”.

✨🤍✨DIMASH SINGS✨🤍✨ VII Congress of Leaders of World and Traditional Religions 14/09/2022 About 108 delegations from 50 countries took part in the event, including the Pope, representatives of Islam, Christianity, Judaism, Shintoism, Buddhism, Zoroastrianism, Hinduism and other religions. Pope Francis Awards Dimash a Medal🏅✨🤍✨ ✨DIMASH THE BRAVE✨ DIMASH NEWS 🌐 Best Definition of Storyline Everything Completely Explained Beautifully✨❤✨ 🌟OFFICIAL 🌟 LIVE 🌟 His Channel Dimash - Stranger Almaty Concert part 3 At 25:37 / 1:29:51 What This 🦌✨👀 The children on the beach 🐚🌊 acted so beautifully the dynamics of their friendship. The underlying competition of the boys who both 👦🏻👦🏻 love 👧🏻 her. Noting that she makes her choice with the thought of losing 😢 Dimash (That smile of coming back to Life. That Knowing). Then the sharing of the sun ☀️ dial as a symbol of Friends Forever (Love, Light & Time)✨ The words of the Pied Piper (leading people to war) were blatantly stupid as they always are if you really listen to any Pied Piper (well done in pointing that out). Also the symbol being corrupted from Love to Hate, Light to Darkness (upside down isn’t unnoticed)🥺 Dimash, his Pregnant Wife (the girl on the beach) & Daughter are on the defensive side of the war. While Dimash is fighting his family is helped to safety. But the Wife goes into labor & the Daughter goes back for her treasured 🧸 Defense being only necessary because of the Piper taking control & freedom from others. Forcing his soldiers with the always threat of “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.” Blah, Blah, Blah‼️ Dimash makes his way home to his family only to see he is to late (the burning town sign). Calling on all the strength of Man’s ✨Spirit✨ to face what he fears in his home. He takes the step 🥾forward. ✨🎶✨The Crying For Strength Too The Soul For Needed Endurance ✨🎶✨ Thinking there’s no way his Daughter is dead without the same fate of his Wife. He’s nothing left to lose & so chooses to sacrifice his life to stop the Piper’s madness. His Son is born. The symbol is placed upon him for the death of his Mother in labor. Notice Dimash & Wife are together in the boat at the end. The striving of souls to the Light ☀️. His grown Son wears the⏳symbol on the path of going into a Peaceful Future with All ✨🌎✨ Leaders 🤍2U&2ALLU🤍🦌🦌💫🌎✨🇺🇸

[@lynnemartin2291]

❤‍🔥❤‍🔥❤‍🔥Dimash❤‍🔥❤‍🔥❤‍🔥 I'm waiting for the live version! get a tremendous pleasure!

[@davidricks7128]

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. Something else i noticed is in his dying breath he sang (We're Choosing Life) as he finally passed away now that is powerful

[@oddviews]

The best reaction of this video and performance I have seen - Great one John! He first sang that live at his Almaty concert and brought the house down. I was at his Kuala Lumpur concert two weeks ago and he sang it live there! I can't tell you how much I was emotionally drained!

[@vernaengelmann2594]

I discovered Dimash in 2018 & when he said that everything else that we’ve heard from him before is nothing. It took him 3 years to compose this song & it is a masterpiece. He has sang this song in a couple of his concerts. Thank you again for your support to our Dimash. ❤

[@gabyticona534]

He has sung it in Almaty, in Armenia, in Turkey and lately in the concert in Kuala Lumpur, 4 times. He is one of a kind.

[@FretsOnFire]

​@@gabyticona534And there's also a video of the true premiere, for the Congress of Religious Leaders. That makes at least 5 live performances!

[@revagreen2303]

You need to watch Dimash live version of this at Almaty concert.

[@crystalfire5564]

The positivity and kindness that you try to spread with your videos is why I subscribed to you and try to watch most of your videos. It’s also one of the reasons I love Dimash so much. I really hope that kindness can overcome the negativity and violence that is so present in our world. Just be kind. Do your best to help instead of hurt. It’s such a simple thing but sometimes it is hard. All we can do is try and maybe more people will catch on. #ThankYouDimash

[@TheMedicineCouch]

Thank you for your excellent Dimash reactions! I really love them!

[@РозаОспановна]

Димашу давно пора присудить высшую премию мира или Гремми..

[@vered3179]

Truly one of his finest compositions.

[@aupalarealainhoa]

[@EarthyDear]

Thank you John for your great reaction 💕 and #ThankYouDimash ❤ for this masterpiece song, epic video, amazing talent, and important message 🙏

[@mariasoto-ob9be]

The story of one sky, una obra maestra audiovisual, musical y vocal. El storytelling es increíble, una historia que debería de ser oída en el mundo entero para hacer reflexionar a aquellos que están provocando tanto sufrimiento a tantas personas inocentes. Bravisimo por Dimash, que ha tenido el coraje de mandar este mensaje al mundo para hacernos reflexionar y tocarnos el corazón como no lo había hecho antes. Gracias John por tus reacciones siempre tan respetuosas hacia Dimash, como muchos de nosotros has quedado atrapado por su magia❤.

[@heatherwinward8231]

I highly and strenuously recommend you watch Dimash perform this at his Almaty concert.

[@pclig2383]

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. 🥹🥲🌹💔🎤🔝 This song was composed by Dimash and the script of the MV was written by him also. It took him three years to finish it. 🥇🎖️

[@gracelatour3441]

Watch him perform this live, on stage, during his concert in Almaty, Kazakstahn last fall - he is literally exhausted - from ALMATY CONCERT PART 3: at 25:36 kzbin.info/www/bejne/j4GUo2ytftCgfren - this is showing 'video not available anymore' but it's on his official website - Almaty concert - part 3 kzbin.info/www/bejne/f3mamZuJrJt2nLc - also, his speech at the Asian Forum recently, had world leaders in silence ~

[@Dark-nf2gg]

Dimash - Metatron. The Voice of God.
