I love that Serbia always carries songs in Serbian 🥰 love Serbia from Spain 🇪🇸🤝🇷🇸 only 14 days left 🥳🥳

I love ❤ this song, my number 1 🏆 Konstrakta is a Queen and her Songs are Amazing all of them 👑. Great love from Germany. ❤💙🤍 🇷🇸 🤝 🇩🇪 🖤❤️💛

Never clicked so fast lol, this song is really growing on me with all its quirkiness

I absolutely hated this at first, now I love it. I sing it all the time and it’s now in my top 10

Plenty of meaning, but also interesting musical construction. The song to watch this year.

This is pure art and tatal avantgarde. Lyrics may seem a bit silly at first, they are actually dead serious. There are so many layers to the song and a lot of space for different interpretations: The name of the song "In corpore sano" is in Latin and means "In a healthy body". It’s referring to the Latin saying "Mens sana in corpore sano" meaning "A healthy mind in a healthy body". - First: What is the secret to Meghan Markle's healthy hair? This is a reference to modern society's obsession with beauty! That's what beauty magazines do/they create insecurities about your hair, skin, weight, etc., and then advertise products that promise to change that. That's what the second line of the song is about "I think that the secret is in deep hydration" - Second: Konstrakta talks about how our skin and hair often signal some health issues, for example, liver and spleen problems. The reason she is thinking this is because she's worried about her own health, she can't visit a doctor for a check-up or get treatment because she doesn't have insurance, this is so important because independent artists in Serbia don't have health insurance. - Third: Then we hear her saying how an artist must be healthy, a reference to Marina Abramovic’s (internationally known Serbian performance artist) performances called “Art must be pretty, an artist must be pretty” where she sits for hours combing her hair while repeating that cause she realized people focused a lot on her looks and her hair being messy and prioritized that over her art, and the reason she needs to be healthy is that she can't afford to get treatment. - Fourth: the "Autonomic nervous system" part talks about how we don't need to control our own heartbeats. She describes how she walks her dog, on a beautiful summer day, her heart beats on its own, it doesn't need to get any better. She just puts her trust in her heart hoping it won't fail her (if it does fail her then that's it, the doctors won't help her and she made peace with that), and that's why she prays to God, "God give us health". - Fifth: She then says "I DON'T HAVE THE HEALTH INSURANCE!" (Even with "free" health insurance we are still paying a lot for medications, fees, etc. We are always paying insurance through salaries, for both employed and unemployed, and if you don't have "free" health insurance, you are paying way more, which is a situation with independent artists in Serbia.) - Sixth: Phrase "Boze zdravlja"/"God grant us health". This is a common saying, we use it all the time, and you will always hear people wishing other people good health (for their birthday, or really any holiday) because everything else (money, fame, love...) becomes meaningless if you are ill and in pain. She then says, the artist (she) is invisible, you can't see me, it's magic because she is invisible to health care, they won't treat her! - Seventh: Now, last part, it's basically the old Latin saying: Mens sana in corpore sano (A healthy mind in a healthy body), except that Konstrakta makes it clear that only the body is healthy, the soul inside is desperate, we are all obsessed with improving our health, we try to eat better, be more active, take all those expensive drugs and supplements, but what about our mind? Mens infirma in corpore sano - Weak mind in a healthy body Animus tristis in corpore sano - A sad soul in a healthy body Mens desperata in corpore sano - Desperate mind in a healthy body Mens conterrita in corpore sano - A frightened mind in a healthy body The endless chanting of the mantra about a healthy body is destroyed by enumerating the weaknesses of the mind and soul from which no health can be born. The final verse of the song "and what are we going to do now" is a jargon of common sense cold shower which was poured over the mass media propaganda about a healthy body without a healthy mind and soul, after making that clear she asks us - So what do we do now? Now about the handwashing: 1) She is dressed in white, she symbolizes the health care system (she reminds us of a nurse for example) and she is washing her hands. Why? Because of covid? NO! It is a metaphor about how health care workers need to "wash their hands off" meaning clear their conscience when they refuse to treat you because you don't have insurance. Just like when Pontius Pilate washed his hands before the crucifixion of Jesus - he tried to clear his conscience and make it clear that he wasn't the one who killed Jesus - it was the Law. In the same way, many people in the government or in positions are washing their hands off and can't help you because of the Law. 2) People standing behind her can be priests that pray for her health and/or are getting ready for her to die.

Pure art with lots of hidden meanings and messages. She dares to be different. Love love love. Konstrakta to the top. Greetings from down under. And don't forget: biti zdrava 😍👏👍❤

This one is a grower to me. At first I had the same impression as you. Then it clicked somehow and all of a sudden I unerstand what it is about. Great song!

Beautiful Konstrakta❤💛💙💚

Authentic,weird,heartfelt tune with education line,greet to my fatherland Serbia, from Cincinnati ,Ohio

The song is criticizing the fact that artists aren't granted healthcare in Serbia because their job isn't that "serious" ("The artists are invisible"), which caused one of their colleagues to pass away due to cancer. And is also referencing the mental health topic. Really nice lyrics when you realize how deep they are.

The song is about health and has a deep message, I really think Serbia will come far this year! ( DARK HORSE) Chorus is catchy, it’s unique and interesting, I’m loving it! Ty for your reaction!

love this confusion for the first time

This song is about our mental health which we don't care enough.

This is a very serious work of art that calls for deeper thinking. It doesn't matter how the competition goes. The Internet is already glowing, and that is the purpose of art. (Reaction) Hand sign: Visible - Invisible Opposing media propaganda. Black - White Positive - Negative A refrain is a kind of mantra that we need to listen to every day to make our mental health better. Sound is the cure and therapy for this gloomy society of today!

Winner🔥

thnx, greetings from belgrade, serbia

The washing of the hands reminds me of the italian phrase "lavarsene le mani come Ponzio Pilato" which translates as "washing your hands about it like Pontius Pilato did" ("it" being a problem ora a situation you want to ignore Just like Pontius Pilato did with Jesus not caring about his situation and fate). In the context of the song, since she is wearing a nurse outfit, this could represent a health care system that leaves behind some people, not caring about them, and that "washes its hands" about them. Plus, there is a HUGE Marina Abramovich influence, it is so obvious, and we stan a performative art song. To be specific, i think this song nods to the video Art must be beautiful, the artist must be beautiful. The themes are various: health, obsession with celebrities and appearence, strive for physical health, worry for not having health insurance, injustice, mental health. In corpore sano is part of the latin phrase "mens sana in corpore sano" (sound mind in a sound body). The last versus of the song are in latin and disclose the true meaning of the song. The use of latin is another genious idea: not only it is the language of science and medicine, but also of religion - it gives the song that "culty" feeling to underline our obsessive behaviour.

Catch, catch, catchy! Out of box!

There is no doubt that this song is a masterpiece ...

It's Tne NEXT LEVEL of MUSIC. Respect 4 KONSTRAKTA. She is Beautiful

Pure art!

fascinating to see a couple of lively Americans responding to a gigantic masterpiece, the greatest ever Eurovision entry.

Love from serbia

The part where she mentions not having health insurance and the music goes silent hits hard. Especially relatable from an american POV. I didn't like the song at first listen but I love it now. It's great having a song in eurovision that prompts people to break it down and have a whole dissertation about the meaning of it.

Let's go Serbia ❤️🇷🇸

Konstrakta is the best, vote for her at the Eurovision !

You guys made it on Serbian TV! A part of your reaction was shown to Konstrakta and she basically reacted to your reaction!

Winner winner chicken dinner! 🍗

The washing hands represents compulsive behaviour. This song makes you think.

I expect 12 points from the Vatican, because finally their language is heard, and it is a good message

I'll vote definitely for KONSTRAKTA In corpore sano!!!!!!

Beside the fact I am obsessed with this song I really like this blonde girl commenting she is so interesting and full of life, gives me so much positive energy with her attitude and she is a great commentator as well

This year's Eurovision answer to last year's equally iconic Shum by Go_A from Ukraine. Fun fact: Konstrakta is also university-educated and a fully qualified architect

In Corpore Sano is my number one

Great reaction! You read the lyrics and this is great. Best regards from Belgrade, Serbia!

My top 5!!!

Pure art ! 🇷🇸🥇

Neobično. Srećno Serbia.

This song is actually just the middle part of a three song music Video called TRIPTIH. It is practically a deconstruction of middleclassvalues, a midlifecrisis in songform, especially from a womans perspective. the first song focuses on her beauty that is starting to fade and how celebrity women try to keep their beauty and the last song is a description of everyday life and how mundane it becomes.

I am sure fans saw many analysis of the song in lyrics, but I noticed one important thing is missed in all that I found. Do you know what a hand gesture she's making means? Not the clapping, but raising hand and twisting the palm? In Serbia, it's what people do to express that someone's mind is not in a right place. In sense, that person is crazy, or something is wrong in their hand. That gesture really makes the performance even stronger for Serbian watchers. It's like famous hand opening Italians do, but Serbian one is not that famous.

This will be your most watched video

Konstrakta's song is part two out of three that form a piece called "Triptih". Her performance has nothing to do with Megan Markle, hydration, politics or covid, it's performance art that is intelligent, quirky and constructed from top to bottom to perfection. It's not weird nor funny, it's art. It's created to make people stop and think about life for a second, it's there to provoke, not to soothe or kill time. In those three songs she's describing a life of grown woman in Serbia, and likely in this World. First part "Noble" is talking about society labels as "be emancipated", "speak foreign language", "know peculiar information about places you never visited" where the chorus is describing the sad reality that she is all alone, looking at the mirror, crying and thinking about a headline in magazine "Sharon Stone does not take botox" meaning, oh she must be as ordinary as me - a masterpiece song. Second part "In corpore sano" describes a woman after reading a woman magazine with a clickbait title "What's the secret of random celebrity perfect health?" (in this case she chose Megan Markle, but any name works). Very often in those magazines you "find out" that some skin imperfection might be there due to poor health of some of your internal organs, i.e spleen, gut or liver. Verse "enlarged spleen is not good, not pretty" is trying to say "not only I may be sick, I am ugly too!" and it really describes a transition young woman go through in early middle age (Konstrakta is 43, mother of two), when beauty standard obsession are getting substituted by health obsession. So she frantically and compulsively starts singing "be healthy, be healthy, be healthy ..." and song just gets better, she becomes grateful for autonomic nervous system and how body takes care of itself, but paranoia kicks again "be healthy, be healthy, be healthy", she prays to God, even that is not enough. Than a sudden stop in rhythm where she is faced with possibility that she might stop belonging to the system (i.e not have public health insurance), how will she be taken care of? Song finale is self - revelation where Latin proverb is twisted to say that although your body will end up healthy after all paranoia, your mind will become sad, sick, desperate and frightened. This song resonates with every single woman in man in Serbia in their 40s because that is exactly how life looks in that age. It's all about being healthy at any cost, while completely neglecting mental health. It's sad that subtitles are not available on the Eurosong, because this song has nothing to do with politics, nothing to do with Megan Markle (apart from critique to mass media), and absolutely nothing to do with covid situation - it's a universal, intelligently packed recap of middle age life. Third part "Mekano" which translates as "Soft", although better translation would be "Limp", talks about everyday life and the way people live in their 40s. You work, you eat, you repeat same patterns day to day, while trying to belong to "intelectual elite" by discussing about neoliberalism, being individual and original, while in truthy you are just dying out in your "comfort zone". Chorus "mekano, nek je prokleto" translates "soft should be cursed" meaning "curse the comfort zone", and this song is insanely strong due to its melody, it sounds soothing and like something you'd listen to fall asleep. This perfectly describes someone stuck in the comfort zone, you are stuck, you know you are stuck, you curse it, but your voice is still dumbed, slowed and soothing. Exactly what comfort zone and depression feel like. Absolute masterpiece that is by far the most intelligent song that ever featured in Eurovision.

I can't get this song out of my head LOL

I am from Serbia and Konstrakta is 👑 king

You guys are the best. I originally followed you as a hardcore mixer, now you’re loving Eurovision!!! I’m from the UK and a lot of people see it as a joke, but I’m always obsessed with Eurovision (watching national finals, pre parties, semi finals etc). Just love you guys and your clearly similar taste 😂💓

BITI ZDRAVA❣💪 BOŽE ZDRAVLJA💪❣🙌🤲💯

Oh to me this is so much about thinking inside your own head during covid lock downs. Very good song and performance. Bitti strava!

this is fucking masterpiece

Pre svegaa jednaa dama❤️❤️❤️❤️

Hey, guys! Nice analysis, thanks! Greetings from Serbia! ♥️

Serbia 🔊🎶🥇

Very brave to come to Eurovision with such a song - I loved it, would have given it a winning spot. This is the kind of song that makes Eurovision so unique, so creative.

Good luck Konstrakta! We are proud!

No 1

Best song this Eurovision

Nice one, konstrakta. 12 Points

They featured your reaction in a montage on Serbian TV haha...you fellow midwesterners are famous

Covid is going to affect mental health of humanity like never before - this song isn't just about "being healthy"... 12 points to Serbia from an Italian in the UK

The lyrics don’t translate well, I guess. 😆The part about walking her dog is a critique of making health a commodity. So she is “not asking for much in terms of health just trusting her body to function and be healthy, thus just being content in small positive things like enjoying a normal day with her dog” instead of the horrors of having to pay enormous sums for medical treatments, because artists in Serbia are not covered by medical insurance.

Greetings from Serbia. I'm so happy you like the song. Love your channel. 💖💖💖

Konstrakta is Marina Abramovic of music! Pure, rough artis 🙌🏻 I adore this song and performance 🙋🏼‍♀️🙋🏼‍♀️🙋🏼‍♀️

omg,it s so good!!! Bravo Serbia!!!

My love kostrakta

The first verse is Latin backwards. It is believed when pronounced it can raise the dead. You have to love this song. It has so many layers.

I'm from Serbia.

Will you react to all entries before the contest in May?

This is not a song This is a manifesto for young artists of all kinds across Europe and the world. You are the leaders, you are the only possible future. Name: Konstrakta (should be hint on Boa Constrictor) Question: What is it that? What is trying to make us breathless? Answer: New world order. Question: How? Answer: With idea about Including fascism in medical care. World health organization claims that she is owner of you’re body and mind? Question: What we should do? How we can avoid that intention? Answer: To proof them that young people using culture and art like music are currier of human progress consciousness and freedom of spirit. Youth has always been above all sick policies and the best medicine for all dictatorships. Now all we are the one who making question to hidden rulers from shadow. We can be invisible as well as you are. How do you think to control us if we deny our medical insurance? We are invisible. We are all united on world music wave. And what now ???????

Hello, me is from Serbia, and When I heard that this song was going to Eurovision, I wasn't sure but now I've thought about it and I think this song is different from the others and this can be something very special.

Love it

Вы такие обоятельные😉привет из России)))😘😘😘

Straight half of this song are the lyrics, and if you want to enjoy it you have to know the lyrics, when you know what is she singing you get the music in a different way, and it is a song to sing along. Parts of the lyrics and expressions are already in sleng, as they relate to so many things and situations. About 20 million people, plus Bulgarians can understand the lyrics while listening. The rest could listen to it few times, with translation. It is not much, I admit. :)

The main point of this masterpiece song is ... (related to the current situation in the world) When the World is ill and what about a healthy body if the soul is sick too? World need smart people to bring peace, love, art... That's why "Umetnica mora biti zdrava" The difficult position of artists in today's world of pandemics and crises is also mentioned! Water, symbolically represents the purification of the soul, body and brings new joy to new people, who rejoice and still believe in God's help! ..................... OK, the body is healthy! But what about a sad soul in a healthy body, a desperate, sick mind in a healthy body, a frightened mind in a healthy body? And what we're going to do now? Send Love & Peace In The World! Greetings Gregorians!

At first i thought this was about healthcare but later the beat is getting better and better any minute.

Thanks for that great reaction video. Please check out Moldova: it'll bring some upbeat good vibes :) Greetings from Germany

The main message is today's advantage of physical appearance over mental health of the people...

She is in my Top 5 👍

This video is hilarious :) They look like they are first time exposed to art in music, and their reaction to music is priceless, especially the woman, I can't stop laughing. The only thing they can understand and chasing it quite poorly is the beat.

Basically saying cus of 'Rona.. we are all washing hands 20x a day, healthy on the outside, crazy on the inside xD

НАЈБОЉА

Gillar denna sång och hoppas verkligen att hon (åtmistone) hamnar bland topp 10.

Србија 🇷🇸🇷🇸🇷🇸

Amazing lady .. .amazing konstract message Tx g'ys

The hand washing choreography is actually her criticism to the health practitioners / health legislators / health department / or other parties that "wash their hands clean to all the mess happen in the health system of a country". This is not my original opinion but I agree to the analysis.

SERBIA number one
