Lara is such a stunning ‘Reina’ and you are such a gifted ‘Príncipe’ :) Gracias for another great analysis on Lara’s/Igor’s artistry!
P.S.: I agree with you on the pronunciation of ‘un poco de paz’!😊

[NanouPeb-vyug]

[raquelra]

Thanks for reacting to Lara once again, Sir Hairless! This song is extremely touching and beautiful and Lara, as always, is absolutely perfection. No other singer conveys emotions the way she does. 🤎👸🏼🤎

Some additional info about Dr Zhivago's album:

- Dr Zhivago is a famous novel by russian writer Boris Pasternak, it became a spectacular movie in 1965, directed by David Lean, with Omar Sharif and Julie Christie playing the main characters: Doctor Youri Jivago and Lara Antipova.

- This movie is the proof Lara Fabian was tied to Russia from day 1: the mother of Lara Fabian was an absolute fan of this movie and gave her daughter this first name because of it.

- Lara explained in an interview how the album was created :
* Starting from mid 2000s, Lara started to include Moscow on her tours.
* After one concert in Moscow, she saw Igor Krutoy who came backstage to congratulate her. He was with 2 men carrying 2 huge flower bouquets.
* In one of the bouquets, there was a CD, a CD of new musics composed by Igor. And he said: "if you have the chance to listen to it, I would like to hear your opinion"
* She listened to it, liked it very very much and it inspired to write lyrics in different languages. She wrote these within 2 weeks.
* So she called back Igor and announced it "OK, I've finished the songs". He asked :"What are you talking about?"
* She replied: "You asked me to listen, it's very beautiful and I see where you are going, I understand why you written these for me, so I've written the texts. And I want this album to be titled Mademoiselle Zhivago."
* They recorded all the songs in Studio within 2 months
* At the end of the studio recording, Igor said: "you know, this could be a complete movie, about the lives of different women across the history. Instead of making music videos, let's create a complete movie. I will ask my friend Alan Badoev, to create the story connecting the songs"
* It was a great success with more than 800, 000 records sold in russia and eastern europe (huge numbers there).

Lara Fabian is, in my opinion, the most incredible female vocalist. Please accept that this is a biased comment. Whether soft & breathy or strong & vibrant, her voice conveys pain, grief, and strength. She embodies the power of these emotions.

I believe the images behind her are from the tragedy about which she’s singing - the all-too-common reality of a woman being killed by a male who confuses control with love.

Thank you for another analysis/reaction for this most remarkable talent.

[Francescorm]

That's one of the saddest song of Lara, talking about pain, abusive relationships, murders against women. She sings in Spanish "Dejalo ir, amor no tiene". in English means "Let him go, this is not love " talking to women involved in abusive relationships . If you watch the official video.. It's really sad and hard.
She gives hopes then, talking about problems, sharing pain, dreams and understanding, it could give a solution. ❤

[DAlex]

Thank you, Sir, for a great reaction, and for choosing Lara ❤

[Ctkarek]

The woman she dedicates this to was killed by her abusive husband while “authorities” did nothing. Lara also did an official video that is very difficult to watch, but very important to see. The pictures being shown behind her are from that video.Lara Fabian brings life’s pain to us by singing it and brings healing as well as joy! ❤

[Rackelhane]

The pictures you where asking about is from a video with Lara. So yes its Lara. I fall in love with this amazing singer every time I se and hear her. Thank you for a great analysis again. I wish I had your skills. Cheers from a finn in Sweden.

[dianabunaciu]

Lara and Dmitri Hvorostovsky, " Toi et moi" it's a high class performance for you to enjoy. ❤ from Romania!

[sincosyacine]

finally, someone who know what he talks about
thank you Sir Hairless for everything, I learned something because of your videos

[Gauloises]

Lara is a blessing to the musical humanity, she is the only motivation why I listen to pop music and yes, she uses all the technical skills in every sentence. And anyway, it doesn't matter if she is acting (because she is also an actress) or living the song (as I believe), how many singers do you know that involve you, move you and keep you glued to the screen for the whole duration of the song? Thanks for the comment, especially for the harmony part. 👍

[alenkasalej]

Lara is the ultimate queen of interpretation (lyrics with melody) for me. One reactor (actors coach) said: that's not acting, it is her living the lyrics. That's why I love her most. Always breaks my heart. And this is a hard song (she wrote it after seing a notice in news - a woman beaten to death by her husband). But this melody gives hope for other women to speak ...

[joyrobinson]

The music video of this song leaves no question as to the meaning of this song. It is difficult. Lara was adamant that the video put intimate partner violence in front of us so that we might understand. Thank you once again.

[pierreraymond]

It is easy to understand how Igor Krutoy built Dimash's career, having worked with Lara Fabian for so many years, building incredible vocal performances with her. And besides, Lara Fabian has been one of Dimash's idols since his early childhood. What an example for Dimash.

[ericsicard]

A song composed by Igor Krutoy and with lyrics written by Lara herself.
Lara had been living for about one year in Spain, in Marbella region, when she had been shocked by a scandal where a beaten woman died not being heard and protected by the local justice and police.
This scandal led Spain to change their culture wrt to beaten women and become one of the most advanced countries regarding the protection of these women.
The music video of this song is a must-see, masterpiece acting from Lara, very realistic and an impressive denunciation of home violence.
