Lukas, I know nothing about you, but to me, you are just dreamy.

Dimash composed the music, wrote the script, is acting in it, and the sang it from his heart as an advocate for peace. Is not the director. A masterpiece.

You must see him sing this live at Almaty. Incredible piece music and his 9 minute performance is just amazing. Dimash is one for the legends himself. No one like him. Its the whole pkg that separates Dimash from mere mortals. Divinely gifted. Really enjoy your reactions. Great comments.

DIMASH is The Best. ......😗😗😗

НАДО БЫТЬ ОЧЕНЬ ОДАРЁННЫМ ЧТОБЫ СОЗДАТЬ ТАКОЙ ШЕДЕВР !!!!!!!!!!!! БРАВО.БРАВО.БРАВО ДИМАШ !!!!!!!!!!

It took him 3 yrs to complete. He Wrote the Story, the screenplay, composed the music, sang and acted in the video, and partly produced it. He did not Direct this! Dimash will have a one-year internship at the leading university of the USA - New York Film Academy, specializing in “Directing” at the Los Angeles campus... This is his call for Peace ! Thanks for your reaction to this masterpiece I’m enclosing a deep and knowledgeable analysis by Heiderose Kober that you might enjoy: « 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. »

Мы выбираем жизнь! Благодарим Димаша и всю его команду, кто трудился над созданием этого послания! Димаш истинный миротворец и чисты его душа и помыслы. Многие люди услышали и поняли это послание человечеству - нет войне, мы выбираем жизнь!

La mejor canción de Dimash 💯💯🇨🇷

Как Акктуально В данное время, для всех Землян Шедеврально Браво

Қайырлы күн Лукас мырза! Реакцияңызға рахмет! 🇰🇿🇰🇿🇰🇿

Dimash is a renaissance man.

Thank you very much for this reaction! ♥️ We are choosing LIFE!!

Послание Димаша ко всей планете Земля!СпасиБО за реакцию...🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

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

Thank you for your great reaction to Dimash and his masterpiece!😊

No words to say other than POWERFUL and BEAUTIFUL.

Димаш всегда на каждом концерте и интервью говорит о Мире всех народов вне зависимости от нации и религии ! Три года а может даже всю свою сознательную жизнь Он шёл к этому грандиозному музыкальному шедевру ! Его послание - молитва ко всему Человечеству - разбудить людей и обьединить все народы во имя Мира и Любви на Земле ! В этом мини- фильме Он принёс себя в жертву ради спасения человечества и потомок Его в последствии ведёт все конфессии в светлое мирное будущее, также как Димаш это делает своим искусством и мы по всему свету следуем за ним ! Люди искусства - должны возвышать истинные человеческие качества и менять Мир к лучшему ! Я счастлива , что живу с Ним в одно время и делю с Ним одно небо ! Благодарю ещё раз вас Лукас за внимание и любовь к нашему дорогому Димашу ! Всем желаю здоровья и мирного неба ! ❤

bravo!!bravo!!👏👏👏thank you a lot👍

Посыл Человечеству задуматься. Свет идущим, а не воюющим. Мы выбираем жизнь. Спасибо за реакцию. С уважением Украина.

Шедевр! Талантище Димаш!!! Прошла перед глазами целая жизнь.....☝👋✌✌✌

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

Money cant buy this video. This is the video for the ages. This will survive the centuries and will tell the story of us in this pitiful century, of warring humans under one sky that’s a witness to our atrocities as a specie, in the next millennium of earthlings. ❤But the child’s birth in my mind is symbolizing the innocence of hope, and the promise of a better future is born again.

Just a Masterpiece Dimash 👏👏👏💝💜💗

Я очень давно хотела, чтобы вы Лукас как профессиональный режиссёр и актёр отреагировали именно на этот музыкальный шедевр созданный Димашем ! Я не была разочарованна вами и вашим мнением о Димаше - как всегда было приятно видеть вас и ваши эмоции на это произведение искусства ! Продолжайте и дальше наблюдать и делать реакции на этого невероятно- талантливого артиста и Человека , посмотрите не менее эмоциональное выступление Димаша вживую на концерте в Алматы с этой композицией, там в финале Он также умирает и разрывает себя на части , что у всех сердце заболело из-за Него - это было на разрыв аорты и на пределе сил человеческих ! Вам желаю здоровья в Новом Году и много счастливых и радостных дней ! 🎉😊❤

Hola! Una conmovedora historia cantada por Dimash!! Espectacular video, espectacular la voz de Dimash, saludos desde Chile 🇨🇱✌️💜

Лучшее произведение Димаша в любом плане, но главное это его послание всем людям. Не зря он это произведение писал три года, сейчас его полюбили массы людей и он может большему количеству донести этот посыл: мы выбираем жизнь! Спасибо Lukas за Вашу отличную реакцию.

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 Lucas for sharing your thoughts and heartfelt reaction!!! We’re Choosing Life!!

Es muchísima la alegría de ver a mi actor favorito reaccionar a mi cantante favorito

Hello mister Lukas I From Uruguay and dear to Dimash .!! All Dimash Dears Arrow the word choisse the Life for ever ever ,ever and evertinhg !! LOVE and Peace in the World !!! No more Ward ,No More !!! Blesius to you mister Lukas !!

Deberían darle el Oscar a mejor Actor, película ,guión ,música bueno una gala para el solo 😂😂😂

This is simply another visual and musical masterpiece with such a strong message as well.

Grandioso!! ¡¡Épico!! Hermoso trabajo mi amado!!! Gran obra de arte,lo que siente tú cuerpo,mente, alma y espíritu,nos representa en éste video desgarrador,pero verdadero,por guerras provocadas por culpa de hombres siniestros!! 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 paciencis,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,que los sentimientos. El niño que nació es el hijo de Dimash, de grande. 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!!! Sos el mayor predicador de la Paz mundial. Y en éste video enfocas 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 y hermosa letra,y tú voz tan grandiosa, desgarradora, cómo núnca,y nos seguimos sorprendiendo!!!! La mejor obra de arte,el mejor Réquiem de éstos tiempos!!! 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!!!! 🤴🌟🙏😔🇰🇿🇦🇷🌍🕊🕊🕊🌹🌹🌹😃🥰😘🤍🤍🤍♥️♥️♥️ Gracias lukas por la reacción, podes verlo cantarlo en el último concierto en kasajistan. Es hermoso, mil gracias abrazosss!!!

You must check out his live performance of this. Absolutely mind blowing.

Очень рады Вас видеть👍 Рахмет 🙏🙏🇰🇿

Gänsehaut pur! Einfach klasse!👍🏻

Beautiful Dimash, bravo! Thank you Lukas :)

This is a masterpiece. Dimash is an art that is more than amazing. This caused a thrill. No words to write what I feel.. Thank you for amazing reaction as always. Please react more Dimash performance. Greetings from Mongolia

Спасибо за реакцию, за чувства!! Димаш Кудайбергенов Исполнитель, Композитор, Сценарист этого видео, а режиссёр русская женщина Алина Верипя. Это Обращение Призыв Димаша Кудайбергена к Миру на Земле, к объединению всех Религий в Борьбе за Мир, за Человека! Мы выбираем жизнь!!! Потрясающая Композиция!!! С Новым Годом Вас!! Счастья, здоровья, творчества на радость людям!!

It was impossible for me to cry watching just a music video…but it happened with this one. How deep is his message .. how pure is his soul… how strong is his voice and his scream That’s why we all appreciate Dimash. He never lies .. he is so true .. the best

Es un genio total!!! Desde Argentina, bendiciones!! 🌹

Hola, Dimash tardo 3 años en escribir está obra maestra. La música por supuesto es su compositor y el vídeo costo 7 millones de dólares. Sería muy importante que leyeras el mensaje de paz de DIMASH. La mujer que parió el bebé es la niña del comienzo y es esposa de Dimash, por lo tanto, años más tarde es su hijo el que guía a toda esa gente que a pesar de las diferentes religiones, idiomas quieren VIVIR. Amamos la sensibilidad de DIMASH. Es un Embajador de la Paz

Спасибо, Лукаш. Внимательный, вдумчивый, интеллигентный. Очень приятно смотреть ваши реакции на нашего невероятного Димаша. Мы выбираем жизнь.

El éxodo de todas las razas y religiones es lo más bonito que canta

Gracias Lukas !!!! Thank you !!!! Argentina 👍❤✌. Esperaba tu análisis cómo artista y conocedor del mundo del cine. Una alegría volver a verte. !!!! I LOVE YOUUUU❤💕

This masterpiece promotes understanding and peace between peoples. Our contribution will be to spread this message to everyone within our reach. Dimash has been working for peace for a long time. Your "dears" WE CHOOSE LIFE!!!!!

Que bueno verte....después de tanto tiempo......saludos desde Chile....

Úžasný 👍❤️🙋🇨🇿

Cada vez que la veo me hace llorar 😢 y me duele mucho mi corazón ❤ Gloria ARGENTINA

Gracias desde Argentina Es duro y maravilloso este video Gracias... ✨🎶🇦🇷🕊🇦🇷

Great review 💖❤💖❤🌺🍀,!!!!!

The best singer ❤❤maravillossoooooo 😭😭😭

Спасибо, Лукас, за отличную реакцию:)

The way I found to celebrate the majesty of Dimash's talent was to have written the following about him: If I were to rule the world, I would immediately add, to the universal declaration of human rights, another article (they would become 31) whose wording would next "All human beings have the right, at least once in their lives, to hear Dimash sing". I am a Professor and I believe that I have a special profession that allows me to transform the human heart and consequently the human society. I work with young people and young people need to have good references. I had been looking for someone for a long time, of whom I could speak to the young people I work with, as a good reference. That person should be young, a super talent, a super mega star in the art world and above all, because he is the most important, a good human person. I searched and never found anyone with these characteristics. Until, finally, I found this person and that person is Dimash. I had the opportunity to say this to Dimash, personally, when I was with him in Latvia where I went, coming from Portugal (there are 8000 km round trip), on the 7th of March 2020. With friendship Rui Baptista

Yesdsssss! Yessssssssss! Yessssssdss! It takes smart people to figure that the DIMASH at the end id his son. He wrote it, produced it, it took him 3 years to make it and he pays for the entire thing, there’s numbers going around, but not fro DIMASH. He had around three hundred extras, it is an incredible production. He has done good with this incredible work of art. You are the 4th person out of hundreds of reactions i have watch, to the point i learn the song the first week. I love this work, he is showing how serious his taking his point of view, remember his country was part of the soviet union, he speaks and sings fluently and he works with best song writer, producer, Mr. Krotoy ( russian) you fallow the straight massage to you knos who! It is a pleasure to see you back , i miss you seen your reactions, welcome back.

DIMASH es un prodigio 💖🇲🇽💖🇰🇿💖

As far as Dimash’s community is aware of - he got a scholarship to study a director’s knowledge at the NY Film Academy in LA! So there is a hope! And you are so right! To witness this masterpiece live is a great privilege that I got last year in September! It was his big and great solo in Almaty. Unforgettable!!! 🙌🙏♥️

Dimash is one of this year's 178 recipients of the Bolashak program which provides scholarships and internships to young Kazakhs in order for them to pursue their studies, masters or doctoral degrees in leading universities across the world. From what we know of Dimash, his sense of responsibility and respect for his roots, he isn't going into this just for the heck of it. For sure there will be future cinematography work in Dimash's artistic journey and at only 28 years of age, he's already dared showing the world his values in a most direct, harsh and yet beautiful way. You said it and I completely agree, Dimash is an artist to be reckoned with. As they say in French, "il n'a pas froid aux yeux" and more commonly, "he ain't just a pretty face"!

Wow! This storyline could be an entire movie

You should watch this song live! That is uncredible!

UNA OBRA DE ARTE

We choose a life with Dimash. Love 💞 and Peace over the world 😘🌍

Hola amigo, al fin apareces, muchas gracias por reaccionar a mi amado Dimash, por favor no dejes de ver la presentacion de esta cancion en el Concierto Stranger Almaty Kazajstan 23 de Septiembre 2022, uno de los suscriptores te dejo el enlace mas abajo, quedaras impresionado como interpreta esta version, saludos amigo desde Chile.

Лукас, я ждала Вашу реакцию😂Вы творческий, тонкочувствующий человек!!!! Мне очень понравилась Ваша реакция👍А композиция, описать слов не хватает!!! Браво👏👏👏❤️❤️❤️

Vocals and music are stunning, epic video!!!💖💖💖👍👍👍💕💕💕🎅

I like your Dimash reactions, I missed you❤

Спасибо за реакцию. Я люблю Ваши реакции на Димаша. Мы выбираем жизнь. ❤🦋🌷

BRAVO Dimash!!!!!👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Мы очень ждали вашу реакцию, Лукас, хотели услышать ваше профессиональное мнение. Спасибо вам за эту великолепную реакцию! Мы были на концерте в Алматы в сентябре. Это было потрясающие, чувствовалось что-то великое и божественное в выступлении Димаша. И возникла в тот момент мысль, если мы вот так предстанем перед Всевышним, что же мы будем отвечать. Это очень хорошо можно было почувствовать именно в тот момент на концерте Димаша. Мы должны стараться сделать этот мир лучше. Это великий посыл людям, переданный посредством искусства. Всем желаю мира и добра! Салем из Казахстана!

Always a pleasure seeing you Lukas 😇😇😇

My God ! This guy is insanely good looking🤩.....Dimash is cute too😊

I started watching this when it came out and stopped very early. Just couldn't handle - wasn't willing to endure - the emotions and the horror of it all. Finally got all of the way through a couple of months later. It's enigmatic, horrible, hopeful and devastating. I admire his courage in tackling this, and his unsparing eye.

Welcome home Lucas! Good to have you back. I missed you and that not very ugly face; the wonderful, intelligent, insightful and sensitive perspectives that you share with us. I think the last scene was of him and the others, who had died, heading towards the light; with him leading them. If I had been writing it, I would have had someone, a best friend, helping the faltering then fallen man - to say no man left behind. Show his friend desperately struggling, even if fruitlessly, to help, to save his stricken friend. If my friend fell like that, rest assured, I would never leave him alone to face whatever fate awaited us - even if it meant that I was to die. And as a man who has made such a sacrifice in this lifetime, I can say that knowing - that I know how to walk that walk, Lucas. But, perhaps, that was the way it was because it made it more poignant? But, it left me with a bad feeling - like an unattended to detail. That is the only criticism I have of the entire production. As The Fairy Voice Mother said, "The term masterpiece is bandied around too often, but this qualifies as a master piece and Dimash is possibly the most creative individual alive in the world." I agree. We are blessed to have him and, be able to witness his brilliance; the love it bespeaks of whom and what kind of man he is and hopes each of us by his example will strive to be.

Добрый день Лукас! Спасибо за вашу прекрасную реакцию!!! Очень уважаю Ваше мнение и Вашу искренность и любовь к творчеству Димаша!!!! Мы выбираем Жизнь в Мире и Согласии!!!! Мира, здоровья и больших успехов Вам в жизни и творчестве! С уважением и любовью из Украины!

Gusto de verte nuevamente y reaccionando a esta maravillosa obra de arte de nuestro querido DIMASH rogando por la paz del mundo ❤️🌹🌹 bellísima reacción ❤️

Wow !!! Salut, Lukas 🤗 Merci pour l'apparition & réaction 👌

🙏🙏🙏Truly nice to see you again reacting to Dimash and particularly to this masterpiece 💕💕💕.

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. »

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️👍🇷🇺 долгое вас небыли. Димаш это эксклюзив , единственный в мире певец которого слушаешь и восхищается .

Спасибо Вам Лукас. Димаш - миротворец.

Имидж Димаша нисколько не пострадает от того, что в клипе его герой убивает тирана, солдаты которого убили его ребенка. "Мы выбираем жизнь..." А жизнь своих близких надо защищать. И мир защищать тоже надо. Иначе все слова так и останутся красивыми словами.

Dimash is so against war and Ukraine having this horrible attack by Russia and the world with so many issues This film took two years to make.Dimash wants us to band together to try and stop the wars from happening.. I have missed you Lucas.I really respect you opinion .and reactions.♥️

Thanks from Kazakhstan

So happy to see you pop on my feed again. Love your comments. Thank you!

As you may remember, Dimash is involved in all aspects of his work. This was 3yars in the making. The subject is his passion for the people of the world to wake up, and not rely on leaders to make decisions that are killing the world and its people.. Just like the film visuals, & the music and lyrics are not there to marvel at but to shock us, wake us up - not to just admire. His 1st work on the effects of war was written and made when he was only 17. still a student - called War & Peace. I feel you missed an opportunity to say more, about the theme of this important work. It is not always obvious to people, sometimes because they focus on the song. The Message at the end 4 me . should have been read out - reinforcing his message to work for peace in the world.- not everyone can see it or indeed read it. This is Dimashs main work, to move us all to play our part in bringing peace to the world. I hope you will listen to it again and maybe also watch his performance of it at his concert in Almaty. Apart from being stunning, you can see, and feel his passion to influence change in how we deal with each other, working from respect, and unconditional love towards each other no matter what creed, colour or politics we hold. Disappointed, too much focus on being a reviewer. You missed the real purpose of this offering.

Obra maestra, nada más que agregar... Te extrañamos Lukas!

Impactante! 🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷❤️❤️❤️

The boy who saved Dimash from drowning tried to kiss the girl and she rejected him, that's why he had that look on his face and wasn't so happy to except the gnomon ( triangle from a sundial) from Dimash. This is the most expensive MV ever made. Great observations Lukas, with figuring out who was who at the different times from childhood to adult. The lyrics say a lot and so does the video that accompanies it. The other message, the one of the unity of the various religions going together as a group is exciting and daring to do too, as is the entire video. Dimash shows he's not afraid, even at this early stage in his career to put his values forward, and he has most of us Dears united behind him too. He first showed this to a Religious convention in Kazakhstan and the Pope awarded Dimash with a medal for it. They too seem to like the message. Hope to see you do more Dimash reactions, it's nice to hear your thoughts. Love from a Disciple of Dimash, Los Angeles Chapter

I can tell you appreciated all aspect of this video. Thank you for your input on this masterpiece by Dimash👏👏

First let me say, you are gorgeous! I don't know what part of the country you live in but it would be awesome to meet you one day. Thank you for loving and appreciating Dimash and his awesome talent. I think Dimash is just amazing and I can't wait for this country to catch on to him. I'm not sure why we don't hear of him more. But thank you for listening to him and reacting to all his fabulous music.

Благодарю вас за вашу реакцию. Для каждого человека это послание . Что война приносит только зло,страдание, боль,слёзы, разрушения и этому нет оправдание. Пусть будет мир во всём мире. Будьте благодарны что мы дышим и у нас есть еда ,чистая вода и постель. Берегите себя и своих близких.

Lukas I have missed you so much! I longed for the day when you would react to this song. Thank you so much, don't be gone for so long, it's a pleasure to see you and hear you. Love from Argentina 🇦🇷💙

Glad to see you back. I hope you and yours are doing well. It has been way too long; I always enjoy and appreciate you genuine reactions and value you insightful analyses and comments. FYI, the song is called "The Story of One Sky." Dimash wrote the music and directed the video, someone else wrote the lyrics of the song. Listening to him performaning this live is absolutely stunning and an emotional rollercoaster. Here is the link to one fan cam recording. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/r9Ccm6ugzMvWZGw.html Btw, you can avoid the commercial interruption by installing an ad blocker for free. 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 is 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."

Maravilloso réquiem #TheStoryOfOneSky una obra maestra!! Dimash nos sigue dando sorpresas, en el tiempo libre que le quedaba componía esta maravilla!! 3 años tardó en escribir esta composición!! Qué talento por dios!! Y cuánta inversión para hacer lo que tenía en su mente y poder plasmarlo!! Ese riesgo, valió la pena, ya es parte de nuestra historia este réquiem!! Dimash es un joven especial!! Gracias por reaccionarlo!!

I've missed you and your valuable input - and, of course, those gorgeous eyebrows!! Peace and blessings for 2023! ☮❤Sea Point, Cape Town

You introduced me to Dimash and I thank you for that. His voice flies to the skies and plummets to the depths of the human heart - just incredible. Fantastic the video and on top of it, your comments help to understand how the film was made. Incredible performance which made my blood run cold and hot.
