Dimash's High Notes

I was scrolling around in YouTube comment sections when I came across an old comment of mine under Dimash's 'Love's Not Over Yet' video. I was responding to a troll comment.

It never fails... every time Dimash releases something, the trolls come out. Meh. What else is new? 😂 I've been eight years in this fandom and I have come to realise these people are always going to be around.... like washing machine lint.

Just ignore them. Yes, I should take my own advice but I was in a funny mood that day 😘😁

Dimash 'screams' and the troll doesn't like it. Well, I don't really like high notes and my presence in this fandom is a mystery. A miracle, if you like. 😆 But I'm here because Dimash's singing does something to my brain. My heart, my soul. Even his 'screaming'.

The first time I listened to LNOY, the high notes at the end of 'You hold our destiny in your haa-aaaands' made me cringe a bit. Remember I'm 'allergic' to high notes. But I have come to realise that the devices I use can't handle those high notes. If I use my Bang & Olufsen speakers, the sound is rounder and fuller. But yeah, still high notes.

My personal experience with these high notes of his.... they make me feel as if my soul is a tiny bird streaking straight up into the sky... faster than light. An expression of pain that goes beyond the physical, the mental ... so extreme that it is inexpressible in any other form.

I think this is why we express our agony through screams and wails.... we need to let go the sharp knives cutting through our being and only this brings temporary relief. Maybe that's part of why I feel some discomfort at the first few listens... but it will go away after that. Maybe it's a kind of scrubbing out?

So, perplexing as it is, I need Dimash's high notes. It's one of the very few things that can send my soul winging high and far. 🥹

The Story Behind 'Daididau' The Poem and Folk Song

While on the Internet, I found an article about the story behind 'Daididau' and it's the most 'complete' I've found so far. It makes for very interesting reading. Daididau : From Obscure Poem to Worldwide Hit https://medium.com/illumination/daididau-from-obscure-poem-to-worldwide-hit-b25e2ea74dd9 Excerpt : "A Silenced Poet It begins like a fairytale: Once upon a time there was a poet who was very much in love with his wife. Her name was Zuleikha Kurmanbaykizi, and his nickname for her was “Daididau.” Distant cousins and teenage sweethearts, they had been married off to other people by their parents, as was customary in their day. Only after they both became widowed at a young age were they able to build a life together. This young poet, Magzhan Zhumabayev, dearly loved his homeland. At the time of his birth in 1893, Kazakhstan was being ruled by the Russian Czar .... The Kazakh people, however, aspired to self-governance." In the article, the writer...

'Shine Super Brothers S2' Program : Dimash & His Bros

When we first heard about the 'Shine Super Brothers S2' program, we weren't sure what it was. Surely it wasn't another version of 'The Singer' for such formats were no longer approved under current Chinese government protocols. Some said it was a competition with eliminations... others said it was just a program with artists living together and working on tasks together. Yet other said it was a reality show where artists were put in a house together and then their daily interactions were observed. It turned out that all these descriptions were correct, in a manner of speaking. Dears waited to see what would happen. Well, I am not sure what others experienced but I found out fast that I had to follow the Youku YouTube channel (my phone couldn't handle yet another app), the 'Shine Super Brothers' official Weibo account and random Chinese dears' Instagram accounts because they were literally on-site and would share photos and videos of their s...

Dimash's New Song : I Miss You (Я скучаю по тебе)

Dimash's latest song premiered on his YouTube channel on 5 December 2020 and what a beauty of a song it is. Simple lyrics and gentle melody but interpreted by the inimitable Dimash Kudaibergen! Song lyrics for 'I Miss You' Music by Igor Krutoy Russian lyrics by Igor Nikolaev ⭐English Translation (Thank you, Google and a kind dear) On the sunset shore is the place of our meeting, and a flock of birds is circling over the shore. It’s like the first time I’m standing here on the beach, but I don’t know. Where are you, who are you with? I miss you, your eyes and your smile. And here, for evil fate, I will come again to wait for our meeting. For someone it is so easy, for me it is so difficult to start my life from scratch. I can't do that. Here on the shore, believing and loving, I will wait for you. Where are you, who are you with? I miss you, your eyes and your smile. And here, in spite of fate, I will come again to wait for our meeting. Our meeting place is on the sunse...
