I just wanted to say a huge thank you to everyone who has stopped by and left such amazing comments. It warms my heart to see so many of you interacting with each other and also reading all of your very flattering comments regarding my reaction. You are all amazing. I wish I could respond to all of you, but just know I appreciate all of the insight and live that you all provide!

Димаш создавал это произведение 3 года, выстрадал его в каждом такте и это чувствуется в эмоциональной подаче и в точной визуализации каждого музыкального фрагмента! Он написал гимн миру! Он не рассказывал о конкретной какой-то войне, так как их всегда хватает на наш короткий век.. Посыл состоит в том, что все мы дети одного неба и надо идти к миру и любви всем вместе, независимо от рас, религий и разных культур! Плакать здесь почетно и приветствуется , это знак наличия сердца у слушающего! Спасибо за искренние слезы!

The Story Of One Sky - I have watched this many times and still find things out that i never thought of amazing video and i have said it before if anyone could bring peace i strongly believe Dimash could make it possible. This needs to be shared worldwide to show people there is another way. War is never the answer because the only ones to suffer are the innocent rewatched the song of Dimash today one line stood out to me One of the most profound lines in The Story Of One Sky is the line "Learn to share the love, Not shares" Not shares meaning stop making money out of war rich people have many shares in companies that profit from weapon manufacturing making them richer while the innocent suffer sadly this is why war exists. MONEY and GREED. 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. This video needs to be shown worldwide

An incredible composition and MV. TSOOS is 3 years in the making. Dimash composed the music and wrote the screenplay. If you get a chance you should watch the live version that Dimash did in Almaty recently where he premiered the song. It hits hard. Dimash screaming ‘We’re choosing life’ is his cry for peace and the end to racial & religious intolerance. I can’t count how many times I’ve seen this and each time it never fails to pierce my heart. Thanks for a heartfelt reaction. ❤

Спасибо большое друг за твою очередную искреннюю реакцию на ДИМАША. ДИМАШ и его команда работали над этим шедевром три года и они справились на отлично. Этот видеошедевр должен увидеть каждый Землянин а особенно те властьпредержащие, которые творят беспредел своей алчностью и безнаказанностью. На просмотрах инета есть видео с фанкама концерта ДИМАША в АЛМАТЫ с исполнением этой песни. Браво, браво, браво ДИМАШ. Привет из КАЗАХСТАНА 👋👍👍👍🙌🙌🙌😭😭😭🤲🤲🤲🇰🇿🇰🇿🇰🇿. Thank you very much friend for your next sincere reaction to Dimash. Dimash and his team worked on this masterpiece for three years and they coped perfectly. This video master should see every earthling and especially those powerful people who create lawlessness with their greed and impunity. On the views of the Internet there is a video from the Fancam of the Dimash concert in Almaty with the performance of this song. Bravo, Bravo, Bravo Dimash. Greetings from Kazakhstan 👋👍👍👍🙌🙌🙌😭😭😭🤲🤲🤲🇰🇿🇰🇿🇰🇿.

The only thing that you got wrong was connected to the ending but I knew you would do one of the best reactions and you did not disappoint. The woman giving birth (originally the girl on the beach) is now Dimash's wife, in the end she gives birth to their son (the Dimash you see in the cloak) who grows up to lead people of all faiths, cultures and nationalities into a brighter future of tolerance and peace, by accepting and loving each other in spite of our differences we have the possibility of a a world unaffected by hatred and war.

Thank you for your reaction, This song is perfection both emotionally and vocally. To me, and I'm sure to many, it's the best thing anyone has ever sung and recorded, and the most valuable. There may still be questions about why so many people believe that Dimash is the best? I don't know, maybe only a robot will be emotionless after watching and listening to this video. This is a masterpiece of the century that will remain in history. #songofcentury #thebestuniquegeniussinger

So few reactors have got the point of the message while watching, as you have done clearly in my view. The message is the driver for the storytelling , the vocals and music, and the visuals. The end dialogue is like the exclamation mark! Thank you for your accurate account and reaction to The Story Of One Sky. Dimash's magic is sensing and feeling - I agree. It was a pleasure to watch you.

DIMASH, es UN MAESTRO. Esta joya musical es para analizarla minuciosamente. Tiene muchos mensajes en sus letras, en su variados estilos musicales, en su magnífica recreación visual. Realmente magistral Dimash. Y así es Dimash: Elegimos la vida !!!!!! Sí a la Paz en todo el mundo. Muchas gracias por tus reacciones al grandioso Dimash.

Thank you ! Dimash has spend 3 years doing this. This piece/statement is, to me, tells what Dimash is here to do: Trough his vocals spread the word of uniti, peace and love. Trying to move the human race to the next level of evolution (to prevent us from extinction) Greatings from an old Danish Dear and Angel ❤️🇩🇰🌷

Thank you for your tears! We all know that Dimashs voice is great. But the most impotant thing about his music is it touches our hearts and our souls. Thanks for your reaction!

Спасибо за прекрасные эмоции,с удовольствием подписываюсь на ваш канал , у Димаша все произведения великолепны,буду ждать ваши реакции !

Congratulations for recognizing Dimash from his first image as a soldier! Very few reactors recognized him immediately, except the Dears, we would recognize him among a thousand!

This Painful Masterpiece is Dimash’s soul pleading to the World. I have no words, as my heart, body and soul are aching for Dimash. I believe Dimash Qudaibergen Has thousands of souls in him. How can one young man be so in tune in everything he does. His passion for The world, his country, his parents, his siblings, his friends, and especially his music is extraordinary !!! We are all so blessed to be a part of his outstanding journey!!I am so proud to be a Dear!! 💐💐❤️❤️ Thank you Dimash, for staying true to yourself!! Thanks for sharing your heartfelt reaction!!

EXcerpt from Bill Tarling : The Piper [the older boy who becomes the Commander - as shown in the transition scene from the kids on the beach into the first dark viduals of the Commander] is also similar to "The Pied Piper of Hamelin" -- leading away followers who can't resist... and one of the song lyrics encourages them to break away from following the bad (destructive) influence of the Piper's direction, and instead turn away and escape from wrong to the right direction *see NOTE 2 below for additional/alternative Piper possible representation Part of the irony is that the older boy, who at first saves the younger one [young Dimash], grows to be ruthless (contrary to the innocent youth caring in the rescue) -- and is killed by the grown up younger boy, who in turn is killed and symbolically returned back to the imagery of the waters that would have killed him if he had not been rescued by the youth version of the Piper The figures walking through the sands represent the victims of all races, people, and religions -- i.e. war and intolerance plays no favorites, and all end up suffering and dying needlessly... The pendant is a gnomon, the shadow pointer of a sundial, which was also used as a maritime compass before antiquity. he symbol, passed on to the to the grown up little girl's baby [who also represents fresh innocence, and our future generations], is also a reminder that we pass along to our children -- so will we pass them our hopes that they can retain their original intentions of the symbol [friendship, peace, tolerance, and caring], or does we pass along our misguided directions [hatred, control, destruction, intolerance of those that don't follow our control and beliefs]. What future are we leaving for the children... NOTE: Merriam-Webster - Definition of Pied Piper 1: one that offers strong but delusive enticement 2: a leader who makes irresponsible promises 3: a charismatic person who attracts followers NOTE 2: Pipers are also the soldiers who play their instruments [fife, bagpipes, etc.] during battles to encourage the forward movement of the troops -- although this would be a weaker consideration in the "Piper" reference since the musical pipers are just assigned soldiers, and are not the actual leaders or instigators for war. The reason I consider this a weaker potential reference for "Piper(s)" is because, since they aren't the actual leaders driving the battle, even if they "fall" in battle, that doesn't stop the troop movement forward -- the soldiers would still continue forward as ordered regardless of whether the Piper(s) is in front or not NOTE 3: It's easy to miss the initial connection between the kids and the first appearance of the military Commander -- but if you notice (on the beach), the older boy has crushed and bent his gifted symbol; which then appears next to his hand on the book when the shot first introduces the adult Commander into the story [the gifted symbol on the book is also bent] -- and the Commander has converted the symbol as a sign of control rather than friendship (as seen on the military arms, caps, etc.) NOTE 4: Some people seem confused about which adult is the grown up version of the 3 kids... one easy notation is that the older boy (who did the CPR) never wears the pendant, he only holds it or has it beside his hand at the pulpit. NOTE 5: Many seem to also miss the interaction of the kids on the beach... during the CPR, the girl shows great concern for the boy who was drowning and only stares at him -- the boy doing the CPR avoids looking to the eyes of the boy who nearly drowned, and you can see him glance towards the girl; with almost an annoyed expression about how much she's caring for the younger boy -- sort of like a [paraphrased] "Do I really want to save him if she likes him more than me" -- and you see the same rejection he felt after trying to make his advances on the girl, but she runs to be with the younger boy instead. NOTE 6: Without seeing the original lyrics, it would be hard to decisively determine if some of the lyric words were mispronounced or simply changed or in typos in the subtitle captions -- e.g. Dimash sings "Piper's Falling", but the subtitles show "Piper's failing" (with failing making slightly better logic in that lyrical point context as in a Leader driving people into war is failing his/her people by not protecting, but instead sending them towards death in war -- and as said earlier, in battles, even if the soldier [bagpiper] "falls", that has no affect on the rest of the soldiers continuing to advance... and likewise with the subtitle lyric line about love to share (the ",not shares" may have actually been intended to be ",not shared" as in the love of people that has been withheld because war has no intention to encourage compassion whereas peace would). NOTE 7: Often missed is how the desert scenes shift into an ominous blue windstorm when Dimash decides to go after retaliation and revenge [as if fighting within himself between peace and revenge]... with revenge (as in war) leading only to destruction and death of those that follow that path NOTE 8: Underwater Death Screams -- while it may sound simply like doing screaming rather than singing; he is in fact using the rock/metal vocalist techniques [the "screams" are for the proper intended notes]. In fact, to show he is actually using controlled singing, you can hear where he decides to add in vibrato during the apparent 'scream' on the 4th "We're Choosing Life" belt... and on the final one, his vocal cords relax smoothly into a transition into the operatic aria style climax NOTE 9: Dichotomy plays fully throughout the story -- visually, vocally, and combined -- and also weaves throughout the story structure, narrative, emotions, and backgrounds * Pope Francis awarded a commemorative medal to Kazakh singer Dimash Qudaibergen during the Pope's visit to the Seventh Congress of Leaders of World and Traditional Religions September 14-15, 2022 in Nur-Sultan. On September 13, 2022, Dimash performed his new song 'The Story of One Sky' at the Unity and Diversity concert held for convention attendees. 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. The music video premiered on September 24 at Dimash's meeting with fans in Almaty: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/lciodL163s_Jl30.html (Fan video) A few days earlier, Dimash said he had just shot 'the world's most expensive music video' to compose it (over $7 million). It used to be Michael Jackson's 'Scream'. (source: astanatimes)

Look for the Almaty concert live, he premiered the song there,if the movie is exciting, imagine seeing it live in shocking 😔😔He composed the song and did the script. I loved your reaction, and despite the fact that you have to watch the video several times, because there is too much information, you have understood it very well, Dimash has the ability to transport us with his voice, and his sensitivity on these issues, He has been giving a message to the world, the girl who dies in the war is his daughter, the fruit of the love he had with the the girl with the pendant, the other antagonistic boy is the other friend that Piper tells him, they took different paths and in the end he took revenge for what he did to his family, she is saved by a group of people when in the race to flee they lost the girl , she dies in the pact giving birth to what will be the Savior of humanity , that is why Dimash appears in the end guiding people towards the light . The desert scene represents the pilgrimage, the different cultures, religions of the world, intertwined to realize that we only have one sky to share among all, talismans , they are part of the sundials in the ancient compasses marine, They serve to indicate the north without error, the boy who became president, the bad guy did not find the right direction, he loses the north that's why he never hangs it around his neck, the story is incredible, and only seeing it several Sometimes we realize the innumerable details of it. Thanks Dears .✌️🤗🌈🇰🇿❤️

It took Dimash 3 years to write this composition. He also wrote the script. He said that it was very painful for him to make this film. In his interpretation at the Almaty Concert, he sang the song with so much passion that it was painful to watch even without watching the film. Thank you for your reaction. This is a MASTERPIECE that deserves some musical awards. Take care. ❤️🙏🕊

Your reaction to the Story of One Sky was insightful and wonderful. Most Dears take the final image of Dimash as his son grown to lead those who have struggled within various religious beliefs towards the light of common ground and peace. Dimash has been a proponent for saving children and world peace for some time and has spoken at various concerts of his feelings. If you have not seen it yet please react to the digital concert version of his War and Peace.

I think that very few true artist these days would have the balls to put their principles on the line in such a brutal honest way. Great reaction mate

Wow! Vídeo espetacular! Intenso e profundo! Uma obra prima completa! Música simplesmente extraordinária do nosso Príncipe Dimash! Letra emocionante e incrível com uma grande mensagem! Orquestra e instrumentos tradicionais incríveis! Dimash simplesmente extraordinário e repleto de emoção! Transcendental! Incrível! Dimash é um cantor magnífico, um roterista espetacular e um ator fantástico! 👏🏾👏🏾👏👏🏼👏🏼👏🏿👏🏿🎶🎶♥️♥️🇧🇷🇧🇷

The story is about 3 friends whose 2 boys are in love with the girl. The little boy (Dimash) who offers the “talismans” he has made as a token of friendship, is going to marry the girl (these are pieces that indicate North on old maritime compasses). They will have a daughter (the one who was killed) and the mother is expecting another child. The third friend, the Crazy Piper (in reference to Piper of Hamelin) has become his enemy. He never wears the talisman, he is the one "who lost the North". When Dimash dies his son is born and the mother dies in childbirth, but he doesn't know it, he thinks they are all dead. But the baby is saved by his community made up of several ethnicities and religions, and he inherits his mother's talisman. He will grow up a war orphan but later he will become this pilgrim, the messenger of peace, or else it is Dimash who joins the sages of all religions. When anger overwhelms Dimash, the sages weather a storm (the gods are angry, I think). He kills evil, his ex-friend and when he turns around he lowers his gun as if to say "kill me, I'm already dead, I did what I had to do". It does not mention any war in particular although the video refers to the Second World War, Dimash has been working on this project for 3 years, it is war in general that is mentioned here and its consequences. And above all the peace that is dear to Dimash. He created everything, only the lyrics were written by an author based on Dimash's ideas of course. Hello from France :)

Dimash murió en el agua. El que guía el mundo a la paz es el recién nacido, que también era hijo de DImash, y la niña que murió, también era su hija. Él se casó con la niña de la playa. Una obra maestra con mayúsculas. Saludos desde España 🇪🇸

The only thing you missed that you might have noticed if you watched it again, is that Dimash & the girl were married with a little girl & expecting another child - yes the child he found was his daughter - he had gone back to his family home (in Eastern cultures the whole family live together) where he found everyone dead & presumed his wife had died too so he went to stop the Dictator, his old friend, and sacrificed himself in that quest (we saw him drop his gun) as he felt he had nothing else to lose. His wife gave birth to their son but died doing so, hence the necklace being put onto the baby, then at the end we have a choice of 2 scenarios - the one you said or that we are seeing his grown son continuing his father's quest for peace & leading all nations/faiths in that quest. The vocals in the middle are all requiem cries for the dead from different Eastern religions which Dimash nailed perfectly. Great reaction so thank you & I hope to see more from you 👏👏

This song and this music video means a lot to Dimash and Dears.... IT NEEDS TO BE SEEN BY THE WHOLE WORLD! The team and Dimash need to get a Noble Prize for that or something

Our ambassador for the peace has done well with his masterpiece , thank you Dimash !!!

Послание Димаша землянам...СпасиБО за реакцию...🙏🙏🙏

Я сейчас подумала что хотела бы увидеть полноценный фильм. История одного неба, история 3х друзей, который дружили, увидеть их характер, как Димаш влюбился в девушку, как они поженились, как ждали дочку, а потом и сына! И в какой момент они перестали общаться, в какой момент началась гражданская война, про пророчество тоже ...я прям заворожена, я хочу в кинотеатре смотреть полноценный фильм. 🥰

Love your reaction 😁 I usually connect the most with his Kazakh language songs but this one really got me in so many ways. Dimash is a musical genius.

Mil gracias por tu reacción a esta belleza de canción. Dimash realmente puso su alma y corazón en este proyecto deseando poder contribuir a la preservación de la paz, de la tolerancia y unión entre todos los seres humanos. Gracias por tus atinados comentarios. Saludos desde México

Hi friend! Thank you for your sincere reaction! Did you notice that Dimash was the main solder right from the very beginning of the war scene, when he was shot in the arm, many people didn’t notice that? When I first heard this MV, it broke me, I became very emotional, it was heart wrenching!😢😢 Dimash has worked hard for 3 years on this MV, and 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 in trying to bring the world together in love, peace and unity. He is a Legend and will go down in History. This is my interpretation only: The mini movie is full of symbolisms, it's the story of 3 youths, 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 became Dimash’s future wife, had two children together. A daughter who was killed by the Piper's army and the birth of his son at the end…, they were all torn by the war. For the symbolic aspects, Dimash is showing the different cultures and religions (Christianity, Judaism, Islam, Buddhism, Hindi, etc.), through throat singing, which is called the REQUIEM (mass for the souls of the dead), from different religions. The Pilgrim, Shepard or Wise Man at the end of the video was Dimash’s newborn son, born in his image and grows up to guide the Representatives of different religions and race from different Nations to the light, for a new beginning living together in peace, tolerance, love and harmony. I’m choosing life!! 🙏🙏 See you in your next reaction. Love from Canada 💖💖

Спасибо за эмоции.У Вас доброе сердце.Спасибо за реакцию.С уважением Россия.Димаш Гениальный!!!

Dimash deserves Nobel prize for promoting peace ✌️ and love for the humanity!! Great reaction bro!! Greetings from Albania 🇦🇱

Great reaction to an amazing song . The part where 'Imagine' is said he is referring to the John Lennon song Imagine. So many little hints and clues in this song. Thank you so much.

This was a three year project for him and has put his heart and soul into every second. The message is even more important than the amazing singing. Stunning and shocking. Masterpiece.

Such a powerful anti-war statement by Dimash! Thanks for your reaction!

I have seen over a hundred reactors to The Story of One Sky. You're among the top three ou four. Few reactors have fully understood the essentials of this masterpiece. Your analysis is relevant, deep and moving. Thank you for honoring the titanic and remarkable work of Dimash!

Dimash es realmente espectacular, solo un ser con esa calidez humana usa su talento para dejarnos un mensaje tan profundo y maravilloso. Él es sin duda alguna el mejor artista integral de todos los tiempos. Muchas gracias por reaccionar.

Спасибо,а слезы доказывают,что у вас чуткое доброе сердце и не надо их стесняться

Excelente reacción!!!! 👏👏👏👏👏 Dimash the best

Stunning reaction. What a production, what a masterpiece, what a powerful message. Only Dimash. We have to choose light and life. We all live under the same sky. Stay safe and healthy, peace from Italy

Спасибо за искреннюю реакцию *Мы выбираем жизнь*, такой посыл миру даёт Димаш.

👏👏👏Thanks for your beautiful, sensitive reaction to this powerful masterpiece !! 🙏🙏💕💕💕 I’m enclosing a really knowledgeable analysis by Heiderose Kober that I really enjoyed. You might appreciate it: « 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/history/education/educator-resources/primary-source-sets/world-war-ii/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 darknesses of other people. One does not become enlightened by imagining figures of light, but by making the darkness conscious. The most terrifying thing is to accept oneself completely. Your visions will become clear only when you can look into your own heart. Who looks outside, dreams; who looks inside, awakes.” This is what Dimash has done with this work; he has made the darkness conscious. We can only raise our individual and collective consciousness by bringing to light what needs to be healed in our lives and our world, and then we need to work together to restore wholeness to what is broken and bring about peace and unity, one step at a time. We don’t have to wait. We can start right now. As the hymn tells us: "Let there peace in the world, and let it begin with me." Baraka Bashad. »

Hola!!!Una obra maestra de nuestro querido Dimash con un gran mensaje para la humanidad.Saludos para ti y todos los Dears desde Argentina!!!🤗❤🇦🇷PAZ🙏

how many reactions I watched, but no one said that Dimash is also a wonderful actor, because he played superbly in this film, conveyed such emotions

It is a Magnum Opus. I've watched it 100s of times!

ОГРОМНОЕ ВАМ СПАСИЬО ЗА ПРЕКРАСНУЮ РЕАКЦИЮ!!!!! ДИМАШ МИРОВОЙ АРТИСТ!!!!!! ОН СОЗДАЛ МИРОВОЙ ШЕДЕВР!!!!! НЕВОЗМОЖНО СПОКОЙНО СМОТРЕТЬ, СЛЕЗЫ!!!! ГОЛОС ДИМАША КОСМИЧЕСКИЙ!!!!!!

Even if we resist, as the adult Dimash character does, we often employ the same methods and weaponry as the Piper, and thus those who fight back betray peace as well because peace cannot be won through violence. That is the dilemma of those of us who did not start the war, who do not support the war, but are forced to respond in order to defend ourselves and those we love. How can we rid the world of evil without becoming what we fight against? The burning sign "Waldenberg" is a reference to the end of WWII when the US Army destroyed the last of the resistance by the German Wehrmacht to end the war in April 1945. As a native German, I have seen the aftermath of war as I was born a few years later when much of Germany was still in rubble. Waldenburg is only 28 miles from my hometown and was completely destroyed as you can see from the picture. Many of the dead in those bombed out buildings were women and children. The good guys defeated evil but at what price? iowaculture.gov/history/education/educator-resources/primary-source-sets/world-war-ii/american-troops-move-through The imagery of the denouement is powerful: The cries over the loss of a beloved child and the cries of his wife giving birth to new life are presented as a call-and-response grounded by a powerful Om chant that creates a sacred space, reminding us that death and life are both sacraments and are interwoven. Dimash's vocalization and the pilgrims representing world religions and religious leaders, past and present, walking together shift the narrative toward the final conflict and finally redemption. When Dimash’s character decides to avenge the murder of his daughter, his state of consciousness is reflected in the darkening sky with lightning bolts of anger accompanying the storm of his emotions that buffet the pilgrims. The fog of war obscures the light. When he is killed after exacting retribution, he is dropped back into the "sacred womb" of Earth, the ocean of love and mercy, and is cleansed of the old hatreds and grievances that only bring more death and suffering. He breaks the wheel of endless war and suffering by choosing life. Dimash's scream of “we’re choosing life” is that of giving birth: the old earthly consciousness of an eye for an eye has to die to make way for a new spiritual consciousness that embraces all life. Soul is breaking free to return to its natural state of love and purity as exemplified by the images of the children and the newborn baby. The blowing of the shofar signals God's mercy for humankind when it turns from wrong to right: in the Zohar, the book of Jewish mysticism, it says: “When human beings repent of their sins, they blow the shofar on earth. Its sound ascends On High and awakens the heavenly shofar, and so mercy is aroused and judgment is removed.” Reborn as a leader for peace and love, Dimash's character in the form of his son becomes a guide for all of mankind on our shared journey up the mountain towards the light of God, however we may interpret or name the divine. We are all on the same path, even if our personal narratives, cultural heritage, and spiritual orientations are very different from one another. By focusing on our common destination rather than on our differences, we can walk together in peace and love and mutual respect. Carl Jung wrote: “Knowing your own darkness is the best method for dealing with the darknesses of other people. One does not become enlightened by imagining figures of light, but by making the darkness conscious. The most terrifying thing is to accept oneself completely. Your visions will become clear only when you can look into your own heart. Who looks outside, dreams; who looks inside, awakes.” This is what Dimash has done with this work; he has made the darkness conscious. We can only raise our individual and collective consciousness by bringing to light what needs to be healed in our lives and our world, and then we need to work together to restore wholeness to what is broken and bring about peace and unity, one step at a time. We don’t have to wait. We can start right now. As the hymn tells us: "Let there peace in the world, and let it begin with me." Baraka Bashad. ________________________________________________ I just want to add, what is so fitting about this mv is that Dimash used a Kazakh singing technique called 'komeymen aytu', the tribal vocalization usually used by women in Kazakh funeral ceremonies. It was the same technique he used in Sinful Passion that he sang as a tribute to the deceased singer of the group A-Studio with whom he performed.

I love your reactions. You immediately caught what was going on.Very few did! We need you to react to some impressive works of art that only Dimash can produce and perform. So please, keep on reacting to his work. The next one, a song in Spanish “el amor en ti” you’re going to be amazed of the quality of this performance in his last concert in Kazakhstan. Thanks for this wonderful reaction. Hope to see you soon with another Dimash performance. Love from Oklahoma, USA. 💕💕💕 No doubt about what his aim was. The war in Ukraine where a lot of his team and Igor Krutoy are Ukrainians.The Dimash you saw leading the people is Dimash’s son that we saw he was born during the film.

Symbolism is throughout. The necklaces are the three main characters. The one who saved Dimash ended up a dictator who by the end regrets the choices he made. His musical composition, singing, and acting pull us into this intimately. This is an emotional epic. We are called to come together to save the world.

This video is a genius piece of art. There is also a live version he did at his latest concert that you might like to watch, his performance is quite incredible, the passion is something I have never seen in a performance before.

Спасибо большое за реакцию. Свет Идущим, а не воюющим. Мы выбираем жизнь.

La mejor canción de Dimash 💯💯🇨🇷❤️

Yes I agree with you that Dimash is making here a statement through his work of Art. An amazing Dimash and a wonderful reaction ❤❤❤

Hi, beautiful reaction to a wonderful video, a true work of art. I hope and believe Dimash will win many awards for it. Here he sang, composed and acted sublimely. Thank you for your passionate and heartfelt support. Greetings from Italy ❤❤

Dimash nos regala una obra de arte de principio a fin...un video muy emotivo y Dimash con su voz nos transporto a una historia triste pero muy real hoy en dia ...y juntar las religiones creo yo que nos dice que en Oriente hay guerras por este motivo ,solo nos dice somos todos iguales creemos en un mismo Dios y vivimos bajo un mismo cielo... vi en una farcam donde Dimash la canto en vivo en su ultimo concierto donde la extreno y suena GENIAL....

Muchas gracias por mostrar la belleza que es esta gran obra maestra, de mi amado príncipe Kasajo Dimash. Saludos cordiales desde Chile.

Lo más bonito es la sinceridad y emoción de los reactores , me ha encantado tu reacción....tienes q verla en vivo en su concierto de Almaty....DIMASH lo da todo y su voz impresionante.....en vivo parece increíble que cante así saludos 🇪🇸🇪🇸

Excelent, emoce, Story,nic podobného jsem neviděla. Dimash je zázrak!!!! Děkuji za vaši reakci a ať pravda a láska zvítězí nad lží a nenávistí ♥️♥️♥️✌️🇨🇿

It took him 3 years so compose and he also wrote the script to the video. I so hope I can see it live sometime.s. He is acting dam good!! This is something of what I think of this.. If you dident gett some what happend...here are some of how I see it..Dimash was the little boy that was saved and the girl become Dimash wife and there dother that was killed of soldiers from the man that was the boy that saved Dimash. That man was angry and desperat becouse he loved the girl/woman to and she shoose Diamssh! So he started the war in Dimash town do to that. The women giving birth with Dimash and her son died during the birth. There son grow up in the end to unite every human and every religion to a peacefull and loving life. Dimash also sang John lennons "Imadgine" that the time is over for dream about peace we have to act. Think abouth wath we al can do to gett that result in the end. He dosent care of what religon you have back to the text in the end...everyone should acept outhers regrdles of skinn couler, religon or anything els that we today divides people!! Think on how we are actting to outhers, think before you say hurtfull words and try to understand them as a human insteed. Becouse we live on 1 earth and under 1 sky!!!! We are al the same as humans need love and understanding and also lett everyone have there religion. This is Dimash masterpeace and every human should see/hear this!! This is so needed today. He is brave to do this kind of MV/movie and he always stand for what he sayes and it is alwayes peace and love!!

Wonderful reaction video. My impression at the end ties in with the name of "One Sky". There are many faiths and so on, but one sky. All faiths traveling with Dimash to the One Sky. And, this video makes me cry every time I watch it. Thank you for being real with us.

This is the first song where he screams like that, this is scream of the destruction of the world, of people, pain, he performed it live in 23.09 soloconcert in Almaty. We heard it first time there, an we just sat there in total shock

Dimash es un artista extraordinario, con esta su OBRA (corto metraje), sensible al dolor y esperanza de la humanidad, cambiar y decidir por la Vida, Paz y Amor. Gracias Dimash por ser mensajero de la Vida y No de la Guerra.

Thank you dear friend for having reacted to this masterful work. It's not easy to react when emotions overwhelm us, but you succeeded brilliantly. Here is some informations about this story for those who had a hard time following, there are so many other elements besides this outstanding voice. I had to re-listen to it several times to not miss anything. As we know, Dimash leaves nothing to chance and every minute of this story carries a message. 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: 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 plot is very human: We start out as innocents until our hearts are broken, we fail, or our Dreams don't come true. If in our pain and disappointment, we turn to anger and guilt instead of acceptance, the power in Instead of love, greed and envy instead of generosity, hate instead of forgiveness and revenge instead of justice, we sow the seeds of conflict that can turn into war..." The metallic element that the boy "Dimash" used to make the pendant is a gnomon of a sundial of a maritime compass, the triangular blade is attached to the sundial in such a way that it casts a shadow on it and the hole is drilled lets in the sunlight, thus projecting its image. This gnomon was used both to navigate and to measure time and timing, it marks the true north and served as an orientation for navigators so as not to lose their way and to guide people. In the video it is used as a symbol of fraternity but the The antagonist, who will later become the president, bends the element in his hand and a bent gnomon cannot function and set the course, it will never show him the true North and therefore the boy in the future will lose his moral compass. Dimash has really taken it to another level with this cinematic work. This is more than just a music video, it's a wake-up call! If he doesn't win a prize with this masterpiece, I wonder what it will take. He is so invested in the well-being of humanity and in the unity of all peoples. He deserves the Nobel Peace Prize, nothing less. If you want to see Dimash play this composition on the piano in a more relaxed environment (in vacation mode with a little beard😊) here is the link; kzfaq.info/get/bejne/nNp3fryfxr3Td2Q.html Take care of your self! A Dear from Canada 🥰❤

Dimash once made such a distorted cry in the song "The Show Must Go On".

The script was written by Dimash. Refugees - people's from different religions and races all together in peace.

Слушай Мир! Слушай Молитву! Слушай крик Святого Духа! Слушай крик Бога к Совести и Чести Человечества! Вот, что значит музыка и голос в песни Димаша! Брависимо!!!

Из всех реакций, Ваша, самая чувственная, глубокая, осознающая Душевный порыв Димаша. И огромный плюс, вы слушали, смотрели и практически не прерывали видео. Без лишних слов, с чувствами, уважением и пониманием! Благодарю!

The message is all inclusive, it is about Humanity not just one war or conflict....you can see a representetive of everyone in this MV masterpiece. Bless him. And Bless you, thank you for this reaction.

Masterpiece ! Dimash is incredible young man ! ❤️

When Dimash premiered this song at his concert he gave a speech prior to singing the song. I think that speech is important and gives context to the song and story: "Many thanks dear friends, before I perform the next song, let me say a few words. Thank you very much. We, the people sitting in this stadium, each of us is different, not totally alike one another, but we are all God's children, each of us with different talents. And, as I mentioned just now, right now is a bad time. In fact, I am not satisfied with the present situation. I have not seen how such situations evolved in the past, therefore I don't know what will happen next. But many people are suffering today because of a few individuals, it's really true. We, we the adults, consider ourselves to be "smarter" than the small children and innocents, but while we do our best to teach and educate our children, we forget that we also have some things to learn from those children. They are pure-hearted, kind, friendly, untainted and without egos and their love for people are pure. Young children have such qualities. I started writing this song I'm about to perform, three years ago. Generally speaking, my main purpose in writing this work is to call for peace in the world. It's a small composition that has burst out from deep within my heart. To tell you truth, many thanks to god and with your wishes I traveled to many parts of the world and met many different people during my tours. One thing I understood is that if you look at ordinary people, there is no such thing as a bad nationality, there is no bad nationality! I don't need to tell you what you already know about the reason for mentioning the topic of nationality here... Let there be peace in the world, Let there be peace. Let there be no war. Let no people, let no nationality, let no country suffer! Because after all, ordinary individuals, ordinary people are not at fault. The truth of the matter is, no ordinary person is guilty of starting a war! That's why the next song I'll be performing in your honor is about our common fate under one sky, it's called "The Story of One Sky". Hope you like it." - Pete from Dallas

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. 🥹🥲🌹💔🎤🔝

You are one of few reactors who got it that the girl & Dimash are married & the baby is theirs. The bad guy is the older boy who saved Dimash in the beginning. All faiths are represented by the refugees. Very brave masterpiece since he works with Igor Krutoy from Russia who has written many of his songs. BRAVE DIMASH!!

If we didn't know yet, now we know that Dimash is not just a great artist, but also a great humanitarian and yes, a leader of intelligent and compassionate thought in the service of suffering humanity, and our suffering world. The power and courage of this man is awe inspiring! Thanks for your visibly moved reaction to this painful but necessary epic work. Greetings from Cape Town South Africa

Beautiful reaction.Thank you very za Dimashe. Love. Greetings from Czech republic,Evropa

Wonderful reaction! Thank you! Yes, this is Dimash’s plea for world peace; asking religious leaders and people of all faiths, races, nationalities to come together in peace and stop the senseless wars

This video is a masterpiece. DIMASH has sent an important message to humanity. We must choose Life and Love especially we live in a dangerous world today. The lyrics are deep, meaningful and powerful. Thank you for the great reaction. Big hug from VIETNAM 🇻🇳.

If you haven’t seen the MV to the song Know I absolutely recommend it. It’s a stunning pice of art! Thanks again and greetings from Sweden

Esta obra maestra promueve el entendimiento y la paz entre los pueblos. Nuestro aporte será el divulgar este mensaje a todos los que estén a nuestro alcance. Dimash está, hace mucho tiempo, trabajando por la paz. Sus "dears" ELEGIMOS LA VIDA !!!!!

You are right 10000% about Michael Jackson. 🥰🥰 Dimash is amazing and wants to see also peace etc

you got it! You wouldn't be human if it didn't touch your heart. Real men show their feelings!!! I tear up every time I hear the pain in Diamsh's voice. I hope this work of art gets world recognition and some definitely deserved awards

Dimash’s message is for peace, and that we are all under one sky. He also does this live. I think it’s a masterpiece, in fact he received an award from the pope for this

Спасибо большое за Вашу реакцию!🤗❤

Большое спасибо за искреннюю реакцию!❤❤❤

great to see your reactions and deeper appreciation of Dimash as you watch more of his work. It is a wonderful feedback loop that enhances or rather affirms my responses - it is so moving to be moved by others like yourself!

Loved your reaction and summation of this MV. Completely agree with everything you said!

20:09 Such attention to detail: as Dimash’s falsetto soars, the cinematography captures his body stagger backward in perfect synchrony with the music.

This is a marterpiece!He uses his amazing voice to spread a piece message to the world. This is an example of what makes him unique

An absolute work of art. This young man is a genius with the biggest heart. He deserves recognition for this masterpiece worldwide. Thank you for your great reaction……. After watching it a hundred times I believe Dimash was the boy who saved his friend’s life. He married the girl and the little girl who was shot was their daughter. His wife gave birth to a son on the same day, who grew up and led people of all faiths to peace. The story is open to interpretation so I would expect others to disagree with me. ❤❤❤

Great reaction and review. I have watched this over 100 times and i still cry and get chills. I still cannot watch the part where Dimash gets shot. My god how hard it must have been on his family. I know its not real, but the thought or visual of something to happen to him is unthinkable. Take care my fellow DEAR!!

The live version is spectacular too! This is a masterpiece 👏 Dimash 🇰🇿... PEACE ✌ 🇺🇦

Thank you so much. Dimash offers His Art and Talent in the Service of Humanity, he does not want Prizes, he wants us to understand and spread His Message of Peace among the nations of the world, to stop this unnecessary war, where there are only Köders, death, Blood spilley by innocents.!

Das ist schwer zu schauen, klar, jedoch das muss gesehen werden von so vielen Leuten wie möglich. Dank Dimash und dieses musikalischen Video kann sich jeder Blogger zum Thema "Krieg und Frieden" äußern. Je mehr Leute sagen NO WAR, desto größer wird die Botschaft zum Universum... Alle Kriege der Welt müssen sofort aufhören - we're choosing life! ♥️

Maravilloso. Masterpiece. Dimash is a great person and a genius

Such a genuine reaction from you, I had the need to watch it again as there was so much to take in vocally and visually on first hearing this MV. This is typical Dimash doing what he knows best to get the message of peace and unity across in this superb MV. Hey, please don’t leave it too long before another reaction.

A masterpiece ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ Bravo Dimash ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

The shape is an ancient mariner's compass. It is a way to keep the ship heading in the right direction by the place of the north star. The general (Dimash's boyhood friend) bent his out of jealousy over the girl choosing Dimash over him. Therefore, his compass will never point true north -- he will always be off-course. In fact the insignia's on the general and his army are missing the opening. They are closed off completely. The woman giving birth to Dimash's son is his wife and the mother of the slain little girl, Dimash's daughter.

A masterpiece and some great explanations from Dears in the comments on the symbolism and story of the MV. One thing a lot of reactors don’t really notice is the burning sign on the ground (when Dimash returns home to find his family dead) - it reads ‘Waldenburg’ - the town was destroyed in April 1945, at the end of World War II. Not sure whether this is a literal reference but it obviously is meant to convey some connection to his situation.🙏🏻🇦🇺 A masterpiece. Dimash’s talent is beyond. He’s just posted a video of himself on Instagram sitting alone in a studio playing a beautiful piano version of The Story if One Sky.

Gracias por reaccionar al gran príncipe Kazajo Dimash

Dimash is a HUUUUGE Michael!

Dimash the king👍👍👍👍😍
