This song was actually originally meant to be a boxer’s entrance music but it was never used. The sun is him/his fists and that’s also why they count to ten a few times, like when a boxer knocks his opponent down and the ref starts counting
Wait, I thought it was about nuking Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Cause the song went through a number of different music video ideas, and the original one was supposed to be a video of the Atom bombs falling on Hiroshima and Nagasaki (the so called sun), which is why everyone is counting to ten since they’re counting down before they’re vaporized. Apparently the song went through like 40 different music video ideas (the second to last one being dedicated to the boxer), but then the band settled on Snow White making the dwarves her sex slaves with Stockholm syndrome since they watched Snow White at Oliver riedel’s house.
@@mikestelzer2027 that could be part of it, but my understanding was that the song is about nuclear warfare. Or that that was one of the proposed ideas since the song makes more sense having to do with nukes than with boxing. I mean, they talk about the sun “burning” people’s eyes and hands, which could be interpreted as a nuke exploding.
@@dannylojkovic5205 no, it was song for Klitschko and should have been played when he was entering the ring, they even planed naming the song "Klitschko", Till said it

@@KingJohnson1985 Yers, really. Opera singers have to learn at least rudimentary German because many classical operas are in German and you need to have a proper pronnounciation when you wanna sing those... And I think Kevin is a trained opera singer if I remember correctly
We were in that crowd that night. There's nothing like a live Rammstein. The energy is not matched by any other live performance, imo. Intense from start to end.
Agree, Ive every big act possible live From Metallica to Rush to Kiss to Madonna to Paul McCartney... there's nothing like Rammstein live. And they cant bring ALL the stuff they donin Europe or USA to South America.
You should definitely listen to Puppe from Rammstein's latest album. Such a creepy, yet wonderful, song. It really shows how the vocals can be used to express the lyrical content. Masterpiece in my mind!
I never get tired of seeing the pure enjoyment on your face. It's like sharing a song with a friend. I still remember when I first heard Ramstein. I was a 15 year old girl, who had only been allowed to listen to a very narrow world of music. Certainly nothing of the mettle world. Your response made me feel all that again. Please don't change or try to guard your reactions. The way you react is what makes you, you!
Originally written as entrance music for the famous boxer Vitali Klitschko. But it was deemed a bit too violent. That's why it has a KO count out to 10 😊
Till has songs that show his beautiful singing ability. Rammlied, ohne dich. He has numerous great vocals in his side band. Home sweet home is great. Its a soft song. There are Alot of them
I am Italian but I can clearly see your admiration engraved in your face. A vocal coach in a shirt, tie and with the look of a gentle and meek man who thinks with so much energy on such an "unconventional" song the real show is you
The "kneeling" is all part of the showmanship. On several of their songs when the song slows and goes softer they will kneel for that part then rise as it thunders back in hard. Just ways of trying to inject emotion into the song
@@ah-vq4bc coincidence. They do it in other songs such as Mutter and Nebel. Oli would also play the opening of Fruhling in Paris on a knee or sat down or his whole soft bass line kneeling during Seemann
@@ah-vq4bc coincidence. They do it in other songs such as Mutter and Nebel. Oli would also play the opening of Fruhling in Paris on a knee or sat down or his whole soft bass line kneeling during Seemann
This song was actually a contract work. it was meant to be the entrance Theme for the 2 ukanian/german super heavyweight boxers vladimir and vitali klitschko. That is why the working title was 'klitschko'. Hence the counting to 10, and the phrase 'the sun shines out of my hands, can burn you, blind you, when it breaks out of the fists, lays hot on your face, lays painful on your chest, equilibrium is lost, drops you hard to the ground, and the world counts loudly to 10.'
Agreed. Awesome "power of woman" mv. My favorite part is Snow White whupping Paul, Flake patiently waiting, the other 4 "dwarves" cower in the corner. LMFAO
I saw these live 20 years ago! They were INCREDIBLE. I saw comment from their Live in Paris tour that said "only rammstein could get thousands of French people singing in German" 🤣 they are iconic
4:57 This is Flake's keyboard. He makes the voice. This was originally supposed to be the opening music of a boxer on the way to the ring. Dem boxer (Klitschko) but that was too hard for him 🤣. That's why the countdown to 10.
When watching Rammstein I understand it's fun to see the live shows for their awesome stage performance. But you're definitely missing out on the most awesome produced music videos which strengthen the deeper message of the songs big time...
Ken I really love your videos and the perspective you bring to these performances. I am a die hard Rammstein fan and your reviews of their songs have brought insights and understanding I didn't have before. May I suggest their piano version of "Mein Herz Brennt"? It is a truly haunting and beautiful Till Lindemann performance. Thanks for all you do!
When coming up with ideas to what the clip for Sonne should be about, they first thought about depicting bombing of Hiroshima. The Sun would be the nuclear blast. Ultimately it was decided that addicted Snowwhite would be better, with the group posing as the dwarfs.
@Ken The female voice in the song is a keyboard sample from the Symphony of Voices music library by Spectrasonics. The riff was already included in the demo version of the song "Spiel mit mir".
Ah, yesss, another Rammstein reaction video! Please try Deutchland and Till's other band with Pain, called Lindemann, with "Praise Abort", "Frau Und Mann", "Knebel" or "Steh Auf".
You should listen to Klavier and Mein Herz Brennt ( both live and the piano version of the song). That way you can fully enjoy Mr. Lindemann’s vocal range :) I enjoy your reactions a lot and I’m pleased to see another video of Rammstein in your channel; I hope you keep reacting to their music. Greetings from Mexico.
Funfact: In German we actually don't roll our R's like he does! (Some do, but not that intense. It's his personal style of speaking/singing. Many people rather use the French R.) Plase don't rely on Rammstein when it comes to learning German (though their music is great^^).
I'm sure this has been mentioned, with over 200 comments, but: You can find absolutely astounding versions of Sonne with orchestras/choirs - it's a favorite for that crossover. You won't be able to hear it just once. Gorgeous.
FYI: If you want to hear some songs where "Flake" does the singing, you should check out "Langeweile"(Boredom), "Herzschrittmacher"(Pacemaker) & "Hässlich"(Ugly) by the Band Feeling B. Feeling B was a band that Flake & Paul where members of before Rammstein was a thing, and these 3 songs were solely recorded by both of them, hence why Flake is doing the singing. There's also the Video called "Rammstein: Flake Lorenz play a song in a German TV [CC/ English]", where Flake plays a song. It even has English subtitles. Though his singing isn't as good as Till or Richard's those songs are still very entertaining. Would be cool if you could check them out.
Till has a couple of side projects going on outside of Rammstein. He has his own band called Lindemann. They brought out a live DVD some weeks ago and I would love for you to react to the song "Allesfresser". It really puts Till in a different perspective than in his Rammstein role. Also he has his own YT Channel with a few songs. I would recommend you the song "Alle Tage ist kein Sonntag". It has a very opera sound to it and you hear his voice very nice and clear with no growling or grunts. Also nice video as always :-)
It was through this band and some other german bands, I taught myself german. You get to hear how to pronounce the words and know the sentence structures. In this song you can sing along and learn how to count to 10 with the audience. Another great song, where you can count along is "Links 2 3 4".
Till has actually had 4 years of training from an opera singer (twice a week) to be able to sustain his singign during the show, with the heat and the smoke etc.
Originally written as the entrance song for one of the Klitscho-Brothers (both boxers, I can´t tell them apart) turned into a reincarnation of "snow white". That was my first real introduction to RAMMSTEIN and still a favorite.
I love that you - as a classical singer, if I can call you like that - enjoy the "heavy tones" so much. :D You make a lot of new friend with Rammstein :D
The kneeling bit is a reference to the music video, which is snow white and the 7 dwarves, and the part where snow white is unconscious in the music video links up to the point of the song when they kneel while performing live
You don't have to excuse yourself for joking about their performance. Paul once said "We do that, because boys just wanna have fun". So they themselves do not take it too serious. But as they are Germans, they want to have it perfect.
The beginning of the album version they sing 1-9 then out, which is for the count out in boxing for a KO. As someone else mentioned, this song was originally written for one of the Klitschko brothers (cant remember which).
Sonne is one of their oldest songs & still a banger. It's a staple in their concerts. I particularly like the video you chose because of the pyro effects. This is a festival, not Rammstein alone, and they are still on fire.
Great reaction. IF you really want to see amazing vocals mixed with such dark poetry and visuals...I recommend you listen to the official version of the piano version of Mein Herz Brennt. You might have to rub your eyes in amazement.
Also Rammstein is my favorite band. They are like an opera in terms of their showmanship. They set my soul on fire 🔥 I totally get the awestruck feeling. Especially when they’re live. I cried when I saw them live.
I was at Download this weekend, I'm not sure how anything else can come close to this for me. The atmosphere the performance everything about it was just unbelieveable
I think someone already pointed it out, but the "prerecorded soprano" is a synthesizer voice by Spectrasonics, from their "Symphony of Voices" collection. Flake plays this "female singing part" on one of his keyboards.
the count is in reference to the protection count/slow count in boxing… that’s why at the end of the song (in the original song) he counts from 1 to 9 and then says “out.. the song was meant to be an entrance song for Vitali Klitschko!
hi Ken, the Germans like to count it in our songs. Here are a famous German songs where counting. Die Toten Hosen - 10 Kleine Jägermeister (German Rock 1996)
Sonne was the song written as an entry song for one boxer, so counting to ten is knockout timer in classic box, and in original at the end instead of 10 he say "AUS" wich means out
....also... Don't worry about any goofiness or awkward feels, it's immensely gratifying to hear your honest opinion that this music/performance (for the pun) rocks 🪨 🎸🤘 Herr Lindemann also has a separate band project with Peter Tagtgren called LINDEMANN and (imo) spotlights a duality of dark and humor that's just *chef's kiss* ...not for casual viewing, however. Intense themes Current favorite is "Steh Auf" in which the music video (somehow) co-stars Peter Stormare !
You asked what Paul Landers is doing at the top of the guitar just before the end of the song. The Guitar-Tunng is in Drop-D and Paul Landers is retuning the low E string to the D note.
The music video explains a bit of the meaning of this. In it you see basically a depiction of Schneewittchen and the 7 dwarfs. Dwarfs in German folklore originate from coal miners, since due to the work in small and narrow mines (starting from a very young age) where often relatively small (due to being extremely hunched over). "Die Sonne" is actually Schneewittchen who brings "light" into the mine when she comes. And them kneeling is to show their respect/admiration (at least in the music video).
first off, this is my second video watching you and i love your reactions. secondly, if youre looking for another beatbox reaction to do, Chezame did a cover of this song on the loopstation, its sick.
Till is tired here, and his voice tells. This is the encore. He is exhausted. The song was originally written as an entrance song for the boxer Vitali Klitschko, whose surname was also the working title of the song. The female vocal comes from Spectrasonic's "symphony of voices" music library. There are some really good 2019 versions of this out where the entire stadium is in flames. And in 2022 I will be in Die Feuerzone :D
Just came across this video and wanted to see how you liked the show! I've never been able to make it to any of their performances, sadly, but I enjoy hearing others' experiences.
Awesome review. You should review the official video Sonne, really has alot in it and will help make sense of the song. The sun can be good and you can get burned!
As previously mentioned the count is to imitate a boxing count And when they where on their knees they where on one knee, in boxing “taking a knee” meaning you intentionally start the count cause you can’t take anymore hits I believe that’s what they do
Sonne was written for a Boxer's Ring Music, so it's super heavy Boxing Themed (the world counts to ten) the official music video was based on someone showing them a treatment where snow white clips where used and the band liked that it didn't fit at all so they made the dark Snow White fantasy they ended up using (based on some googling and matching facts from various articles)
This song was actually originally meant to be a boxer’s entrance music but it was never used. The sun is him/his fists and that’s also why they count to ten a few times, like when a boxer knocks his opponent down and the ref starts counting

Written for the Klitschko Brothers. But its too brutal, Thea say
And Rammstein: if you think the song is too hard for you we make a Snowhite theme video...

The official Video tells the Story of Snow-white and the dwarfs in Rammstein Style. 😉

Didn't even have to listen to give a like - any Rammstein song you go through is always exciting! ❤💣💥🖤
"Seemann" and "Ohne Dich" are 2 songs where Tills voice really shines in terms of beautiful and soft but still powerfull tunes.
They're brilliant live, obviously. But, the official video for Sonne is a must see. I'm going to watch it again now!

...not for casual viewing, however. Intense themes
Current favorite is "Steh Auf" in which the music video (somehow) co-stars Peter Stormare !
Stormare is in it, because Tagtgren and Stormare knows each other since years. That is why Stormare is also at the Lindemann Video of "Frau & Mann".
Ohhh seconding Steh Auf!

This was the opening song when I saw them in Detroit in 2012 and it was freakin brilliant. Such a great memory.
Hello Ken, I would like to suggest "Donaukinder" from Rammstein. The organ makes it sound quite eerie.
I love both regular and piano version of his song!
Greetings and Love from Germany :)
Till is tired here, and his voice tells. This is the encore. He is exhausted.
The song was originally written as an entrance song for the boxer Vitali Klitschko, whose surname was also the working title of the song. The female vocal comes from Spectrasonic's "symphony of voices" music library.
There are some really good 2019 versions of this out where the entire stadium is in flames. And in 2022 I will be in Die Feuerzone :D
Just came across this video and wanted to see how you liked the show! I've never been able to make it to any of their performances, sadly, but I enjoy hearing others' experiences.
Awesome review. You should review the official video Sonne, really has alot in it and will help make sense of the song.
The sun can be good and you can get burned!
You should watch the full show 2019 stadium tour - Berlin. Just for your own entertainment. And the start hunting for a ticket 😎
Great. Rammstein 👍🇩🇪
According to Wikipedia, "The female vocal comes from Spectrasonic's "Symphony of Voices" sample library"
He was drunk in this preformance thats why he sounded weird saying sun. lol❤❤
That was Rammstein keyboardist flake doing playing the samples for the female vocals
The studio version sounds so much better. I didn't even recognize the song at first.
the crowd sung "und die Welt zaehlt laut bis zehn" which means "and the world counts aloud to ten"
love youre channel! Great work covering Rammstein ect.
I would love to see you covering Saltatio Mortis - Wo sind die Clowns
Keep up the great work
As previously mentioned the count is to imitate a boxing count
And when they where on their knees they where on one knee, in boxing “taking a knee” meaning you intentionally start the count cause you can’t take anymore hits
I believe that’s what they do
Sonne was written for a Boxer's Ring Music, so it's super heavy Boxing Themed (the world counts to ten) the official music video was based on someone showing them a treatment where snow white clips where used and the band liked that it didn't fit at all so they made the dark Snow White fantasy they ended up using (based on some googling and matching facts from various articles)
Your reactions are great.
I would love to see you reacting to some System of a Down. Serj Tankian is talented in writing and singing and his messages are amazing.
