For those who don't know him as a singer-songwriter, you may have seen him in the mini TV series "Das Boot", a WW2 drama inside a U-boat. He played the role of the war correspondent Lieutenant Werner.
Wow,this is a big one here over in germany,he is a big act in Germany.This is a great hit over here.If you translate the songtitle...it simply means"men".Great review from you.Thanx
your face was beaming with joy during this reaction! Glad you had a great time with this one! I rarely listen to Grönemeyer myself, practivally never in the last 15+y (probably last when he wrote the song/ballad "Zeit, dass sich was dreht" for the football world championship in germany back in 2006) but he is really big in Germany, has been for 3 decades, 4 by now I think.
In context, if remember correctly, the song performed before was "Der Weg", which describes the feelings and emptiness after loss of his wife and his brother within 1 month. The song is heartbreaking, very emotional, tear filling your eyes, you feelthe scenario note by note. After that "Männer" was played to rise up the intimate mood. David, you should do "Der Weg" next. Although you may understand the lyrics but you will understand the meaning and I guarantee you that you will be unable to keep your eyes dry.
Wow, I don't think I have heard this song in at least a decade. However, without the subtitles (which I assume had to be enabled somehow) much of the appeal is lost as it's a somewhat tongue-in-cheek celebration of manhood. Her is a sample: Men have muscles Men are terribly strong Men can do everything Men get a heart attack Oh, men are lonely fighters Have to go through every wall, have to go on and on

What a rare request!
I remember hearing this song in the early 80s when I lived in Switzerland.
The German title translates as "Men".

I agree! No sence without Subs
Please react to the german marching band Meute
When is a "man" called a "man"?
Tricky question these days.
