This song is absolutely PURE ART , better then any song this year in our country, lyrics is serious and amazing , deep on multiple levels. Music, visual and lyrics is a literaly mindblowing.
6:58 "I don't have social insurance!" Deep lyrics! Deep message! "Artist don't have medical insurance, so it "must" be healthy!" Must?! We are just "washing" our hands off each other, while people still dying somewhere... (while we wear pink glasses?) In what world do we live? This song is a high art satiric masterpiece!
Ovde se ne radi samo o covidu, knjižici, zdravstvu, ili umetnosti. Dovoljno je primetiti da se većina reakcija komentatora svode na ne razumevanje performansa ocekujući vizuelni efekat golotinje koji će zadovoljiti oči, ili bum u nekom delu muzike da im zapara uši. Većina onih koji su komentarisali pesmu nisu se potrudili ni uključiti CC da bi bar pročitali tekst. Ovo govori o čiljenici da se svestan razum ljudi toliko ulenjio da svo razumevanje i zadovoljstva traže na gotovo. Niko ne razmišlja, samo kopiraju jedne druge Svima reakcija tipa : haha zašto pere ruke, može li neko reći. A i oni sami mole Boga i peru ruke da bi ostali zdravi, jer svi znamo koliko je skupo lečenje po inostranstvu, pa čak i obična popravka zuba. Eto koliko su mediji i tehnologija unazadile razumno stvorenje da se boje izaći iz zone komfora i uključiti mozak da u pesmi nije samo reč o sistemu u Srbiji, već o SISTEMU U KOME SVAKO PERE RUKE OD SVOJE ODGOVORNOSTI
@@s.s.5706 Она сама представња данашње докторе, с обзиром да носи униформу медицинског радника. Равнодушност и константно прање руку је одлика већине данашњих доктора. Као, лече нас јер брину за нас, а заправо не брину, него само се брину да скну одговорност са себе, да оперу руке. Све ово се највише показало у задњих годину дана. Песма и цео наступ има своје значење, а када се све растумачи, долази се до закључка у каквом страшном свету живимо.
First time I've heard an analysis of the song by a true professional 😲 You're incredible and I learnt new stuffs from you! 🔥 Also the language you speak I find so interesting, strong but somehow melodic 🔥
In fact, the singer got the Konstrakta excuse when she was 20 years old, because she liked to compose rhymes in a specific way, mathematically, in line with her profession: architecture. The pseudonym means to be rationally emotional. It makes sense.
It's interesting to see how this young man with love and passion towards the music explains singing technique. Really great, I like it. Greetings from 🇷🇸
I really like your reaction, im sure u r first one reacting to the song, pointing on vocal 😅 Btw this song is part of the trilogy named - Triptih. There are 3 parts and every analysing different social themes.
The best musical review of this song I've heard so far. Thank you. I personaly think that's the masterpiece both in musical and performing part but mostly as philosophy.
Thank you for your analysis. You were able to describe aspects of the singing style and composition that I do not have the knowledge or vocabulary for. Very interesting. Biti zdrava!
Obrigadíssima pelo comentário! Fiquei muito feliz de saber que existe alguem que conseguiu perceber e ouvir a qualidade desta música. Por favor, procure mais músicas desta cantora e da banda Zemlja gruva. Acho que vai gostar! Um abraço!
Para mim, esta é a proposta mais interessante no ESC deste ano, junto com a Maro. A voz da Maro é capaz de ser mais impressionante, mas a teatralidade na perfonce da Konstrakta, combinada com a música e a mensagem é impressionante.
I am glad I saw your review of this song. As a musician you have an insight others don't. I am sure you'd appreciate the lyrics too, when you decipher them.
Of all analysis I saw the last few days you are one of the few people who actually knows what he is talking about. And understands music obviously. Well done.
Há muitas mensagens aqui: 1. A beleza não é tudo, a saúde mental e a alma também são importantes. 2. Os artistas na Sérvia são muitas vezes invisíveis, não têm seguro de saúde, mas têm de ser saudáveis (o seguro de saúde é gratuito na Sérvia, mas se não trabalha oficialmente não tem seguro de saúde). Além disso, a mensagem universal é que os artistas do mundo devem ser bonitos e saudáveis, embora possam ter alguns problemas mentais ou emocionais. 3. Temos uma solução: confiar automaticamente no sistema nervoso e orar a Deus pela saúde (padres renascentistas ao seu redor) e há comparação entre religião e ciência... 4. Língua latina porque ela é médica. 5. E sim, você tem que lavar as mãos cerca de 2 minutos no mínimo, como dizem os médicos ☺️🙂 Música em camadas com mensagens fortes nesta performance artística pura. Vanguarda! ❤️ Ative a tradução! ❤️ Saudações da Sérbia!
This performance is art at it's purest. Although the 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. Konatrakta herself emphasized the importance of every listener's own interpretation. 1. The song opens with a headline from a beauty magazine that Konstrakta once saw: 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, nails, 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" 2.Then Konstrakta goes on talking about how our skin and hair often signal some inner health issues - for example liver and spleen problems - The reason she is thinking this is beacause she's worrying 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 SUPER IMPORTANT because artists in Serbia still don't have health insurance. This is a paradox because Serbia, just like so many other countries has "universal healthcare" which in reality is not available to everyone. 3. She then goes on saying how and artist must be healthy - a reference to Marina Abramovic (Art is beautiful, Artist must be beautiful), and the reason she needs to be healthty is again - because she can't afford to get treatment. 4. Then comes the part about the autonomic nervous system and how we don't need to control our own heartbeats. She describes a beautiful summer day, she is waking her dog, her heart is beating and that's it - it doesn't need to get any better. She just puts her trust in her heart and lungs hoping they won't fail her (if they do fail her then that's it, the doctors won't help her and she made peace with that) 5. She then explicitly states I DON'T HAVE THE CARD (meaning health insurance card) 6. She wonders how will they help her then? While she's wondering that we can hear the backing vocals repeat the phrase Boze zdravlja - God grant us health. This is a reference to serbian culture where health is regarded as the most important part of life. God grant us health 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. This is again a paradox - in a society that nominally regards health as sacred she still doesn't have health insurance. She says - The (female) artist is invisible, you can't see me, it's magic. 7. The final part is probably the most important one. It's basically a play on the old latin saying Mens sana in corpore sano (A healthy mind in a healthy body), exept that Konstrakta makes it clear that only the body is healthy - the soul inside is desperate which is a commentary on our own reality, 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? More often than not it is our mind that needs care, not the body. And finally after making that clear she asks us - So what do we do now? Now about the handwashing: 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" 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 crucifixon 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, a doctor refuses to treat you because of the law, and he needs to make peace with the fact that you may die even though he/her could (and would) help you. The handwashing could also be seen as a reference to Marina Abramovic's performance Balkan Baroque in which she spent days trying to wash the blood and flesh off of cow bones - she failed of course and that was the point - no matter how hard you try they will still be bloody bones (in this context the blood on the bones symbolized the shame of the Yugoslav wars, and in Konatrakta's performance the health care system is trying to wash away it's responsibility for people literally dying because of some bullshit paperwork and administration - but it is of course doomed to fail because the shame and blood cannot be washed away). Unfortunatly I'm not a native english speaker so I couldn's atriculate my thoughts in english better but I tried my best! I hope this comment helped make thing a bit more clear!
It isn't only about healthcare, per se, it's much more generalized and can apply to every person, which is what makes this song great. The Megan Markle thing: obsession about rich people and copying their routines and 'secrets' as if it will bring upon us the same success, but that's not how the world works. She has money, and hair stylists as well and your hair will never look like hers for that lone reason, and there is no point in mystifying it. It's about classism and our choice to pretend it isn't there. Skin issues, spleen etc. are a reference to almost superstition-esque beliefs that have stuck around for ages, and now are ingrained in our language and sayings, daily life. You cannot tell the size of someone's spleen, or liver, based on freckles or whatnot, but we still use superstitious beliefs to remedy a problem we don't have, just so we would feel like we are curing the disease we are actually fighting with, which is actual life problems: poverty, classism, depression, stress, other struggles etc. which are unique to everyone. Autonomic nervous system part points more to the fact that your heart still beats for you, no matter what you are struggling with. No matter how hard life is, this small, simple thing keeps you alive and you should cherish it. That's why it's juxtaposed with the simple idylicism of her walking her dog on a summer afternoon, life is simple and this is enough to be happy. It is also a response to the complicated struggle of life pointed out in her previous verses. "I don't have a health-card" is a very funny punchline, since it's so simple and direct compared to the previously poetic lines, but it's also very common for Serbian people to exclaim this exact line in a sigh of exasperation, since, yes, many people don't have health insurance, even though it isn't 'that hard' to get it. This is more of an absurd statement to be a parallel to all the complex issues we have to face. It isn't just about one card, it's about everything being shit, your life being shit, it will never not be shit and you don't even have a shitty piece of paper to go with it, would be the best way to describe it, in the spirit of Serbian language and culture. It's absurd. "God grant us health" is not only health related, but in Serbian language and culture is a superstitious-esque statement you proclaim when you have nothing to look forward to, or hard times are ahead of you. It would be the English equivalent of 'May God be on our side' for example. "At least we have our health" would also be a somewhat accurate translation. This is what I would describe as a bit more accurate, and also heavily leaning on Konstrakta's interview about this song. She herself said the song isn't about health insurance for artists, but about struggles any person can face in life, in a more allegorical way. The message of striving and cherishing the simplest of things in life also punches real hard, if you know that the founder of Konstrakta's years-long band and very close friend and musician has died of leukemia, despite treatment, but she has denied the song is about him, saying every person should find their own, personal meaning to the song, and that's why it's so vague. Cheers!
Now this is called reaction, you talk over the song about what the singer does with the voice and all. I wish all reaction channels were like this. And props for the CC
Thank you for your reaction, it's more than true. For those who doesn't know, Konstrakta is a jazz singer and very popular and respected. You can hear her and her group "zemlja gruva". She is amazing and this is art in all its glory 😇
Konačno da ću sa zanimanjem pogledati tu Eurovoziju! Vrijeme je za budjenje... Konstrakta je glas razuma i dublje svijesti... Bože zdravlja ...svima, posebno mentalnog! Bravo❗♥️
Everyone washes their hands of responsibility, right? The song has a deep meaning, much deeper than you can imagine on first listening to the song. And it does not refer only to Serbia, it refers to the whole world.
This is sooooóó good!!! Real art, bravo! There are more than 2-3 different, important topics in the song and even more interpretations. It needs listening/ watching 4-5x to understand the metaphorical meaning (this isn't an usual la-la-laa song). 1. Megan: Rich people/ contrast in lifestyle, "beauty", their artificiallity and us, ordinary people on the other side. 2. Washing hands: in Slavic nations it emphasises how the "authorities/governments" "washing hands" or not taking responsibility for the wellbeing of the ordinary people (water washes everything/every dirt from their hand/authorities hands). 3. Last 2 years & Covid-19 measures, people were locked at home, directed to wash hands/face etc. in order to keep themselves healthy but at the same time them 5 people in dark clothes standing & watching?! These are the authorities. 4. "Let the heart beating..." we are actually left alone, nobody cares about ordinary people. 5. Find a video with English subtitles and read what is she singing in her last 3-4 sentences in Latin!!!! This is actually the finale..." ill/sick mind in the healthy body" = we became unwell/ill because of the restrictions during last few years...the ongoing lockdowns across the planet created so many mental health problems. 6. Now after hearing/ understanding last 3 sentences, go to the beginning and start again... here come the rich people (Megan)... they can be "beautiful" ...bla,bla... but in the end coping them, celebrities makes us all artificial and we lost our mind, ourselves, we gave/sold our souls because of copying various top models and celebrities and wanting to be/look like them. :)
Explanation: 1)The name of the song corpore sano is in latin and it's short from the latin saying "Mens sana in corpore sano" meaning "A healthy mind in a healthy body" 2)"What's the secret behind Meghan Markles healhy hair?" part refers to mainstream media constantly bombing us with different health tips that are usually there just to promote products and/or make us more insecure. 3)The part saying that an enlarged spleen isn't pretty refers to people making assumptions about someone's health just based on their looks and emphasizing physical health while a person can look really good but have many mental health issues no one knows about. 4)Artists in Serbia aren't recognized as workers by law so they don't get free health insurance meaning they have to pay to be treated in private clinics which a lot of them can't afford (including Konstrakta's former band member who DIED OF LEUKEMIA cause he couldn't afford treatment- but they don't sing about him). The first and second chorus are different. The first one says "An artist MUST be healthy" referring tointernational artists that get free healthcare, while the second one says "An artist CAN be healthy" referring to artists in serbia and the healthcare system not caring about their well-being. 5)The part where she prays to God for health and says she puts her trust in her heart beating refers to her having to rely on God and her own body to regulate her health cause that's her only option being an artist in Serbia. 6)The part where she says the artist is invisible and it's like magic refers to artists not being recognized by the government and the healthcare system. 7)The part where talks about walking with dog refers to a law in quarantine where you can walk your dog only 100m from your home. There is other theory that she talks about 10k step you have to take to be healthy. 8)The last part of the song is in latin and it refers to people prioritizing physical health and outside looks over mental health which is also very important. STAGE (it also have deep meaning) 1)The obsessive hand-washing refers to COVID 19 and the importance of keeping your hands clean again massively talked about in the mainstream media while neglecting the impact of the pandemic on people's mental health. It also can be paying homage to one of 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 other theory is taht she describes medical person when someone without a health card comes for treatment. (they wash their hands of that person, as it doesn't exist). 2)People standing behind her are priests that pray for her health OR they are rippers getting ready for her to die.

She and her whole team strongly denied its about friend and bandmate that passed. So even if it is they dont want it out so it doesnt seam like they are using his passing for popularity. Its too personal for them.
@@tada2644 i wrote that she sings about artists in Serbia that aren't recognized as workers by law so they don't get free health insurance. After that I just mentioned her death friend who died because he couldn't afford treatment. So I clearly didn't say they are singing about him i said they singing about health insurance problem. You should read it first and than reply.
I'm from Serbia. The choreography can only be understood if you're familiar with the orthodox Christian church tradition. The guys that she is surrounded with, with the towels around their necks and with the vessel filled with water that he pours on her hands and later she dries her hands with the towel the second guy has, is the picture from the Holy Archiereus Liturgy, the Liturgy that is served by the bishop or the Patriarch, so the head of the Church. So, knowing this it is easier to understand that this is the criticism of the Church. She is referring to the hippocrisy of the Church members, I guess those the most respected ones. Greetings from Serbia! ❤️
You don't understand my utter obsession with this song. I literally listen to it every day and every time I find I new thing that clicked. It is a masterpiece.
The first message is actually in the first second of the song. So much in just one second. Incredibly. That first message is "We need to see / watch / think better, because EVERYTHING IS UP SIDE DOWN" (related to how tings are presenting to us). "Onas eroproc ni amrifni snem" Every day I discover some new amazing details. Brilliant.
The song is about disturbed values, and people die without medical help, because they do not have a health card. A member of the group of this singer died because he did not have a health card and did not have the money for treatment. The song has a deep message. The song is a parody of everything that happens to us.

The most important part of the message of this song is the Latin part near the end. It is the culmination, which was brought about in a conceptually extraordinarily designed, even tactically designed way. The extent to which the "hook" of superficiality has been implemented is best shown by the fact that everyone from the West has taken to mentioning Megan Markel ... There is also one specificity of the Serbian language. She first asks: What is the secret of healthy hair MM ?, but the same sentence slightly modified that follows (Koja li je tajna?) is like a re-examination: What is the secret that cannot be translated, because it is linguistic finesse. Simple hand movements at the level of the deaf-mute's language, she fit perfectly into the whole performance. This whole impression is very close to the aesthetics of Talking Heads from the Remain in Light period. That aesthetic is drastically above the usual level of Eurosong competition. That fact, paradoxically, drastically reduces her chances of winning. My assessment is that the song has little chance of a final victory in Turin, but that it pushed the boundaries - it did!
Meu, você conseguiu penetrar na atmosfera musical dela completamente! Parabéns!!! Obrigado pela dedicação. O que queria acrescentar é que esta música é a segunda instalação do tríptico dela que se chama mesmo assim “Triptih”. Acho que vais gostar da primeira e da terceira parte também! Mas, um conselho que quero deixar é o seguinte: está música divinal tem o peso até mais importante na letra. Só apreciando a letra e a composição musical é que se vê a grandeza desta artista!
In corpore sano (Latin) eng. meanin is: A healthy mind in a healthy body. I listened to it all day today. I am glad that she won and that she will represent us. It was necessary to "scratch" in order to get to the essence of her entire interpretation. He who does not understand art, will reject the song and characterize it as unacceptable, garbage, and that is too sad. It's great that she chose a song that is part of the triptych from her album. For the curious, uninformed, eager for information: the triptych is a work divided into three parts. It dates back to the 4th century, and was most often used in church transcripts and paintings. (It can be seen that this singer is an architect by profession). And besides that, Ana, she chose that middle song out of those three. The central part is primarily used to extract some information that a person wants to reveal. I guess the emphasis was on saying: these lunatics put us in the Middle Ages with pandemic madness and measures. How do you understand that persistent hand washing on stage? As an indirect message: the system washes its hands of everything like Pontius Pilate. From the reliability of the vaccine. The association is also on the Corona. Just to be clean. We washed our hands so much that our skin thinned. So read the title of the song In corpore sano, in translation: In a healthy body, a healthy spirit. Open criticism is directed through the song to the entire damaged health system, all over the world, and insufficient attention is paid to mental health. A little Latin to please the Italian hosts. Then the next stanza, the aspiration of the individual to return to normal life, through daily rituals, helps and encourages himself with autosuggestion in order to keep his body and his spirit healthy.Because no one can help her but herself. And then silence, a dramatic break, unaccompanied without music in the background and a BUM note: I don't have a booklet. Emphasis on the great social injustice in the world. And now we can ask a rhetorical question, considering where we are: what kind of booklet do you not have? Because it is known that in our country, if you are young and want a job, you are often asked to be a political member of a party. to have a booklet. and it could be that it is a health booklet, that is, a health booklet without which you cannot be treated. Many people who are poor do not have a health card. Dear people so she bought me. I'm still trying to figure out that palm turn. It may have two meanings. Every story has two sides of the coin, and it is possible that, as people look at black and white or something in the sense, we burst. And only last night I was trying to understand the role of the vocal accompaniment, the characters she is surrounded by, who are above her (like a priest or a Freemason) and suddenly my light comes on while I sleep: all this is dictated by the deep state, shadow rulers. pandemia war, in the Ucraine, poor . That parallel is the relationship between the individual and global events and the individual's struggle with himself in time Covid (Weak mind in a healthy body, sad soul in a healthy body, desperate mind in a healthy body, scared mind in a healthy body). This twisting of the hands is condemned as occultism, but it is important that song have deep meaning. Konstrakta said so much. PURE ART
