Hey! It's nice to see You again!
Today - the next episode of I'm Singer
episode 9
Dimash sings "All By Myself"
Great song, and definitely one of my favorite Dimash's performances in this show
It's a fantastic song
very well known
and hard one for sure
many artists have been singing it, so we have many covers
sung by both female and male voices
we have really a lot of versions
and today Dimash joins these performers in the I'm Singer program
This song was composed and published by the American singer Eric Carmen in 1975
but creating it, he based on two other works
The first of these works is the Piano Concerto No 2 c-minor by Sergei Rachmaninoff
Rachmaninoff was a Russian pianist, composer and conductor
And a chorus is based on a part of a song Raspberries band
It is a band in which Eric sang before he began a solo career
It's exactly the song "Let's pretend"
but to be honest,e I listened to this song twice and ....
I don't know, I cannot find this similarity ..
maybe it's not very obvious, or I didn't listened well ?
well I just didn't hear it ;)
But if it comes to Rachmaninoff piano concert
Here you can hear it very well
we listen a part of this concert today
and with this similarity comes some unpleasant story ...
Eric Carmen used a part of melody to create his own song
but he didn't asked about copyrights and released the album
In the USA there is a law that all works published before 1922 year
are in public domain and can be used without the copyrights permission
This concert also was in this domain, because it was composed and released earlier
However, this law applies only in the USA
outside the US it is different
basically in every country in the world it is different
and if somebody releases an album, it's obvious that it's going out all over the world
so you have to take into account other countries
Perhaps Eric actually was not aware of it
unfortunately, heirs of Rachmaninov came to him with allegations of copyright infringement
and the case ended amicably
Carmen committed to give away 12% of every profit from the song "All by myself"
And it was not a small sum of money, this song brought him great success
It was the same with another of his song
in which he also used a fragment of this concert but from the third part (here from the second part)
and here also they established similar rules for payments
so unfortunately, it costs him a lot
maybe it's a good thing that it ended like that, because it could be worse;)
like I said, there are many covers of this song
But perhaps the most famous, is a cover sung by Celine Dion
She made that this song has become very popular
she sang it during her concerts all over the world
Céline is a huge star, everyone knows her and she sings it fantastically
she sings this song in English but also in Spanish
And she really made the song famous, and she's singing it till today
excuse me...
what else...
oh yes, the lyrics
what is this song about
all by myself
Lyrics can sing both the woman and man, here it does not matter
The author says that when he was young, he liked to play
he made love just for fun
He did not care about the important things, I lived for the moment
But those days are gone ...
And he is alone
"When I try to call old friends - the phone is silent"
the number is no longer valid?
or no one is at home..
" I do not want to be alone"
"I don't want to be never alone"
But unfortunately, he spent all his youth having fun, when friends at that time assumed famillies
And this time has already passed
So it's a sad song but it's not terribly dramatic
It's probably also depends on the interpretation
And in my opinion, the interpretation of Celine Dion, for example, is very different from that of Dimash.
Dimash as usual, sang it in his own special way :)
but I will tell about it at the end
Now I have for you a little mix
We will listen in turn - a fragment of the concert - listen to the strings
There, the melody of the verse is clearly heard
then we'll see a fragment like Eric Carmen sings
then a piece of Céline Dion
and at the end we'll see Dimash :)
Let's start
That is Sergei Rachmaninoff
if someone was curious how he looked like
As you have heard, there is a huge difference between how Eric sang it and Celine Dion.
Eric composed a beautiful song, but he does not have great vocal abilities
While Celine Dion sings wonderfully, and made this song absolutely a piece of art
but Dimash, of course, also "managed it" ;)
I'm not prolonging, let's see I'm Singer
oh yes oh yes oh yes
I will stay on this cool frame
Do you also feel how your blood pressure is being raised every time (every time!) ?
blood flows faster in the veins
outstanding!
Does it require a comment at all?
Here, the comment really is superfluous!
It was a revelation, pure pleasure!
I also love the look on the faces of people - especially in this episode!
From speachless through tears
hot cheeks
eyes wide open
Wonderful, wonderful!
It really has to be fantastic to listen to Dimash live
There are no words, no one knows what to say
This performance simply takes our voice away
But I wanted to pay attention only to one thing
All previous covers - including those of Eric and Celine, were charged with the rather sad emotions
And Dimash added the icing on the cake
He flirted with the audience a little
I mean the solo a capella moment
that's what I was talking about
we can even see his smile
He created a slightly different atmosphere of this song
and I think he took it with a grain of salt
of course, listening to this song, we feel great excitement and emotions
But Dimash did a good job of unloading the tension and he gave the vocal performance at the same time
it was very good and very surprising
that's why I look at this song a bit differently now
he changed her mood gently
and he did it in a charming way
Presenting once again his vocal capabilities
I liked it very much
Well, well, as always wonderful Dimash
They like all his performance, because he is in it - like in this picture, like a conductor on the stage!
Dimash enters the scene with a smile, maybe even slightly embarrassed greets the audience
And when the lights turned off and the first sounds of music are heard, he gets into the mood
And not only when he sings, but also when he does not sing
you can see that he's all in this music, like in a trance
that is why we are watching him on the stage with such pleasure
we're not just listening to him
It is a pleasure for the ears and the eyes
incredible pleasure!
What I still wanted to add at the end ...
Now everyone lives mainly with Dimash's concert
there are already lots of fragments from this concert to watch
new songs
of course I could not resist, I listened to them too
they are wonderful!
And I would like to say something about these songs (make a video), although I do not know what, because I do not know anything about them :)
But unfortunately all these recordings are from smartphones, they are of poor quality
I don't know, maybe I'll wait for a more professional recording?
or on music video?
It will probably be nicer to watch then than now, but with poor quality recording
For now I will continue recording with I'm Singer. In the meantime, something more professional from new songs or from the concert itself may appear
And I have a dream
I dream of being at the concert of Dimash - as you know. But apart from that
In a few days I receive a new passport and then I am waiting for a date for the next concert
I hope that this will not be on the other side of the world!
But to be honest ...
I hope that one day I will have such a chance
participate in the more intimate concert of Dimash
maybe it will not be such a big show
maybe on a smaller stage
perhaps more acoustically?
Tickets could be 3 times more expensive
but I personally (maybe I'm getting old :)) would see Dimash on a smaller stage, in a peacefull setting, so that the audience could enjoy this more
It does not have to be a big show, because all you need is Dimash to sing
This is, of course, my personal feeling
I just would gladly participated in this kind of a concert
Although, of course, I understand the formula of today's concerts, Dimash is young, he must also go crazy and fun
He's making the show and it is definitely an unforgettable experience for everyone
Nevertheless, I hope that in the future will also be concerts in a smaller format
maybe it will be easier to get an autograph afterwards?
I guess I can dream;)
Thank you very much!
Of course, thank you for your comments
I'm trying to catch up, and write back to you
but you are really crazy!
Because it's really unrealistic to answer every comment! :)
but I read read read
I thank you again!
and see you, there are several episodes from I'm Singer ahead of us
and then we'll see what further;)
bye Bye!
