I don't remember the last time a song left me silently crying and staring at my screen blindly, stunned and moved beyond words.
youtube
I'm (re)discovering Dimash's works, especially his most recent songs, and I am. I don't even have the words? Between Dimash's out of this world vocals and the pure emotion in his voice, the powerful lyrics and the cinematography and art of the video... Why does he not have a billion views?
WE'RE CHOOSING LIFE
"Dialogue, understanding and the widespread promotion of a culture of tolerance, acceptance of others and of living together peacefully would contribute significantly to reducing many economic, social, political and environmental problems that weigh so heavily on a large part of humanity"
"On September 23, on the solo concert of Dimash in Almaty we saw the premiere of his song "The Story of One Sky". On September 24, at the artist's fan meeting, the audience saw the clip of this composition for the first time
Dimash Qudaibergen’s 12-minute work is dedicated to the unity of people on our planet. We are all divided into races, nations and religions, but we are all children of one planet and live under one sky. Life is the highest value
No sacred book calls for the destruction of people. We must learn to be friends; it is impossible for a few adults to cause millions of children to suffer. The future of our planet, the future of people is in our hands, let there be peace in the world
We are children of one Home, one Earth and one Heaven"
From Youtube channel Dimash Qudaibergen: Dimash - The Story of One Sky
Masterpiece in so many ways
Please, do enjoy this marvelous song...
I was tagged by the amazing @sadmorgen to list 5 songs I’ve listened to recently. This was difficult for me since I listen to music non-stop. Here are 5, each with a mini blurb. I highly suggest you take a listen!
Stranger - Dimash Qudaibergen
Watch/Listen here
Qudaibergen is a Kazakh singer and musician. He might objectively be the most skilled vocalist in the world at the moment. Stranger showcases his technique, range, and musicality.
Now We Are Free - Ellen Williams
Watch/Listen here
Williams is a Welsh soprano singer. This is one of the best renditions of this song, in my opinion. Her classically-trained voice shimmers and soars.
Le pire - GIMS
Watch/Listen here, Lyrics (FR & EN)
GIMS is a Congolese and French singer and songwriter. Le pire’s insightful message demonstrates his exquisite songwriting abilities.
Autumn Finds Winter - Yiruma
Listen here
Yiruma is a South Korean pianist and composer. This is a lesser-known piece of his but it’s one of my favorites. The blend of the piano and strings takes your breath away.
Les blues du businessman - Céline Dion version
Listen here, Lyrics (FR & EN)
Dion is a French Canadian singer. This song’s lyrics are relatable as an aspiring writer/artist. Beyond her powerful belting and intricate melismas, she conveys the message with the right emotions.
