Thanks for sharing this reaction. I share what Tamino himself wrote about this song, its composition and the creation of the video: "Wrote this song when I was 18 and living in Amsterdam. For the first lyrics I got inspired by a painting by Van Gogh (skull of a skeleton). In my interpretation the skeleton died as a man without regrets and was thinking about his days alive with a cigarette (or cigar) in his hands and a smile upon his face (who says skulls can't smile?). I then made a concept for a video about a year ago: I wanted to portray a dead man obtaining the chance to live again one last night. During his time alive he does whatever he pleases, just like when he was among the livings. Never would have thought that we would one day be able to realize the clip. And I'm so proud of my brother Ramy Moharam Fouad who directed it perfectly. And of course immensely grateful to everyone involved." (As a side note, Ramy was around 16 years old).

Very cool. I vaguely remember seeing a print of that painting I believe - many years ago. I love Tamino's voice. Great job, 16 year old Ramy!! 🙂
Yep he's all bones
