This video fucking kills me. This came out when my mom was slowly dying of cancer. She passed away in December. I still cannot listen to this without absolutely breaking down. It's so beautiful and sad. How I wish we could stop time, if even for a moment.
My condolences I can understand your sadness My father died of prostate cancer December 9, 2013 My family and I couldn't believe it's been 10 years it doesn't feel like that, just surreal Absolutely true, this song is so profound as if you could feel it with your soul
The three figures are the Norns. The Norns are deities in Norse, Germanic mythology who are responsible for shaping human destiny. Their names are Urðr, Verðandi, and Skuld. They stand for "what was", "what is" and "what is to come". They also care for and protect the "world(s) tree" Yggdrasill, which stands at the center of the universe and connects the nine worlds (Asgard, Vanaheim, Alfheim, Midgard (World of human), Jötunheim, Muspelheim, Nidavellir, Niftheim and Helheim) seen in the video as an kind of "hourglass" or "tree of sand" where the women give birth to the children.
To get it to the point, the band Rammstein are real artists and of course, sometimes they do controversial things but actually they show a mirror of our society and the way some behave. They have always made class A video clips and put a lot of efforts, time and money into it.
We have that "controversial thingyding" talk in Germany too (mostly by people who don't want to understand and are eager to put Rammstein in the right-wing corner), every time Rammstein puts out a new album. BUT, that's being said, not at all sooo controversial as it's seen in the US. Making lyrics about life, reality, can't be controversial. Can it? Really? I don't think so. Unless you're a "Pussy" (hahahaha) or neglect reality as it is. I know, there are people who don't want to be "intimidated" by the lyrics and visuals, but they usually aren't listening and watching Rammstein videos anyway. The horrors of life, human behavior and the nastiness some people bring to the world shouldn't thrown into a imaginary hole to not be seen anymore. It's already so,so deep and filled with all crap we humans have done to eachother! So, don't let us be pussies and shy away from reality! I APPRECIATE RAMMSTEIN for what and how they're doing their job as musicians so, so much. I only have love for them, as metalhead and as human being! Thanks for reacting to Rammstein and your thoughts guys!! Greetings from Germany 🤘
@@teardrop-in-a-fishbowl I have to agree with you. I recently read that they are not politically correct and therefore they are almost hated by the West German press. In addition, they are East Germans. II don't think the press is doing itself any favours. Greetings from Germany
@@teardrop-in-a-fishbowl I recently read that certain people can also crochet a scandal because of the birth scene. Well, this time they controlled themselves. Many have a board in front of their heads. Heard a Dieter Bohlen say that Till could not sing. Especially this guy. 😂🤣😂
@@annegretkasten6277 Right! And "funny words" coming from a not so funny guy are sooo 🥱 IDK! Even guys who I highly respect, like Zizek, said lots of bs about Rammstein ("Pussy"). If you want to misunderstand, you misunderstand! Some people are heavily biased, have a wrong conception of how art, yes Rammstein is art, should be and use words as well as visuals to tell stories (of being the perpetrator), "tell IT" from the perpetrators perspective. This does NOT mean the band "PROMOTES" this kind of behavior!! And using "controversial" images,who might be "offensive" to the one or the other, is as important as using "nasty words" to describe our human world THAT THERE IS!
I love Rammstein, for over twenty years now.. This song means so much, I cared for my beautiful mum, she had cancer..fought it for years, then passed away in my arm's.. My mum.. I wished I had every day with her again.. I want every moment back. Thank you Rammstein x
So sorry for your loss. I lost my mom as well due to cancer. Just started "discovering" Rammstein. Though i already knew some songs of them but never really though about it more than just hearing a song. It's completely different now. In 2009 i was diagnosed with leukemia at age 23. Since then, i've only known physical and emotionally/mental pain. Lost all of my "friends." In a matter of weeks/months. I was diagnosed with Graft Versus Host Disease in 2012. I ended up in a wheelchair and i have nerve pain all over my body. In 2018, life showed it's "ironic" way of time and my mom died just 21 days after her 62yr. She was just 1yr. in retirement. It's been almost 5yrs. and i still miss her very much!
watching Rammstein reactions from people all around the world who do not speak a lick of german has been quite a rabbit hole for me. I have to say i really enjoyed y'alls comments. I hope you get to see Rammstein live. I will see them again in September. blows my mind how so many americans know every word and sing along the entire concert.
They def have a formula with their heavier songs. But they are true artists and have the freedom to express their art in all forms. Another comparison is to watch Mein Hertz Brent the original, then the original piano version. One is heavy, intense and head banging. The other is artistic, intense The "controversy" of Till is that he is Till. Superficial glances will find controversy. But he's a poet and everything has double meanings. He tends to play the villain in the videos and songs in order to show the depravity of society, not glamorize it. I recommend "Deutschland." It's a song about their love and hate for their home country. The video is chock full of historical symbolism
+1 I defintely recommend the original Mein Herz Brennt and follow it with the piano version. Both outstanding, and best watched in that order. I agree re Till. I love him but the tabloid media etc love to try and paint him as something that he isn't, and of trying to paint the band as something they are not. At one point the band even made the track "Links 2-3-4" as their means of addressing some of the controversy of the time (yes it has a music video, also great live) Often the controversy comes, once again, from the media. For example in Deutschland music video, there is a section of the video that makes sense with context. However some of the stills of this were printed in the media before the songs release and without context, creating a fuss over nothing. I highly recommend you watch those videos, Mein Herz Brennt official music vid, Mein Herz Brennt official piano version, and Deutschland official music video, and I will say Deutschland is incredible and it definitely is one where you do need to watch the full thing, intro and outro too!! You might also enjoy the Links live performance, and another recommend is Haifisch official music video from the LIFAD album Enjoyed this Zeit reaction, especially your different interpretations. It is so beautiful, the song and so poignant too. PS Cory (possibly), were you thinking of Feuer Frei when you suggested "firestarter"?
Quote ‘it hurt me’… the kind of ‘hurt’ that does something with you, makes you aware of… kind of hurt. A lot of people can’t cope with this kind of ‘hurt’ and will be appalled with it. It digs deep and that will hurt. This is an art form and art isn’t art if it doesn’t do something with somebody (a whole lot of somebodies if you wish 😉).
This song, and its video, really hit me hard as well. It has quickly become in one of my favorite songs ever. Love your reaction to it and really hope you do more Rammstein reactions.
Well said, gentleman. Yes, Rammstein has always been like this. It is a mistake made by many that they perceive that Rammstein has produced a ‘novelty’ hit (‘Du Hast’) and nothing else. I have been a fan since 2003, have seen them live 4 times…and I’m a classical music lover. I wouldn’t love them so much if there wasn’t such depth to them (in addition to the occasional fun song, like ‘Dicke Titten’).
To be fair, Dicke Titten could just aswell have been written by Mozart so I'd say they're followong a great tradition of serious German and Austrian musicians occasionally writing funny novelty songs.
I want to thank you for being one of the very few male reactors that didn't look shocked or horrified when they show the scenes of the women giving birth. I was already expecting to see a look of disgust or some comment on how they shouldn't show that. So thank you very much for being a mature adult
Feel ya big time! This is the best video that have seen, in my 53-year old life. They are not only musicians, but also artists - the way the song really is one with this video as well...in every way! Pure art!
Rammstein is absolutely the ‘moment where art equals music and video’. Some may be shocked, some may be convinced Rembrandt isn’t a proper painter… everybody is entitled to carries there own opinion, but for me, if there is perfection, this comes awfully close to the summit of it all!!!
I can't watch the video and the song continuously because I'm in tears. The song triggers too many beautiful and at the same time sad memories in friends and acquaintances that you later lost in time. "When our time has come, then it´s time to go, Stop, when it´s most beautiful ... the clocks stop .... The moment is so perfect, but time keeps ticking a moment, linger, I´m not ready yet ... "
Welcome to Rammstein. They were always like this. And if you think they have a formula, you do not know them. Till is Germany's greatest poet. Listen to your talk. Rammstein made you think.
Rammstein have always had fantastic videos their whole career, but they really stepped up for Deutschland in 2019 and since then, they've been outstanding. It's hard to recommend another video if you're checking Rammstein out in your own time because we don't know what you have and haven't seen but it would be great to continue these reactions as you explore your journey with them. Also controversy surrounding Till, I'm not sure what they're alluding to either beyond the arrest already mentioned. His solo project can get a bit weird/pornographic and *some* have called it sexually aggressive but in irl he's a lot more introverted and no one has come out with any allegations or anything like that. He's pretty widely loved
I had the luck to see them live this year. And when they played this song, Till changed the line _ein Jeder kennt, den perfekten Moment_ (everyone knows the perfect moment) into _ihr alle kennt, den perfekten Moment_ (you all know, the perfect moment). Aside from that, I grew up with Rammstein, and it's true, that they do many controversial themes in their songs. But there is often a deeper meaning in them, which you not always see at first. Such as these cloak figures resemble the norns, deities from norse mythology, called Urðr (Wyrd), Verðandi, and Skuld, which are shaping the course of human destinies. They are incarnations of the past, present and future.
there is no real controversy at all , at least if you use your brain while listening. They got misinterpreted a lot ( by leftist who thought they are nazis, also by nazis who wished they are naizis, mostly by ideots that just dont't get it, and a whole lot of offended people (christians, homophobes ect. ) while in fact they are rerally nice guys and incredible artists that don't cut corners. They bring up the hard topics, and some people just can't comprehend it
Till Lindemann has also two other projects: Lindemann together with Peter Tägtgren. Two albums (one German, one English) and one live DVD. It is hard to describe this project. It has metal, a tango, even rap and very (VERY) disturbing music video's that can not be found on TH-cam. His other project is called 'Till Lindemann'. With BEAUTIFUL classical music and ballads. Together with violinist, or the French singer Zaz. But his song 'Ich Hasse Kinder' (I hate children) is very heavy. And has a great lyrics and music video. And last but not least: Rammstein has a timelaps video from their 2019 and 2022 tour stage on their youtube channel. It is worth checking out. The band is touring the US soon with the full setup.
Till (lyrics, vocals) also has published several poetry collections, some of which have been translated and available in English translation Lindemann (with Peter Tägtgren) has some amazing - and some very disturbing - songs and videos. Till Lindemann has done some diverse and random things (as in the artistic persona/project of the name, and as a person too I guess) including releasing a single on International Children's Day last year(?) called Ich Hasse Kinder, along with music video. There is also a short film by the same name that is about 20 minutes long and I think all in Russian? Interestingly the topic of the music video, and the lyrics are extremely divergent from the visuals in a fascinating horror type of way
You should absolutely check out some of the Rammstein stuff you missed over the years, also I was lucky enough to go to one of their recent shows, and DAMN they can put on a show!
For a while I listened Rammstein because I just thought they sounded cool. I really started to LOVE them when I started to search for lyrics translations and meaning of their songs.
Found you from your BTS videos and am so happy that you’re expanding to Rammstein! I am actually seeing them in Minneapolis on Saturday night and I’m hoping they play Zeit. One of my favorite songs is Wiener Blut. The performance live from Wacken is my favorite. I recommend looking up the story behind the song so you can appreciate it.
Loved seeing your reactions to this. They elevate the entire music video concept to film level storytelling. I have no hesitation suggesting their video for "Ohne Dich" based on the impact this video had on both y'all.
Let me tell you guys, up until a few months ago, I had exactly the same view as you, meaning - I thought Rammstein was just controversy, without any depth to it. And after I watched the song Angst from the new album, the exact same thought struck me also - Have they always been like that? After that happened, I've rediscovered Rammstein, I've listened to their whole discography, and yes they have Always been like that!
What a great analysis of this song. Great work. A very powerful video. My favourite part, visually, was the reaper in the sand become 3. Brilliant stuff.
Rammstein is so extreme intense, it wonders me again and again. Lucky to be from the Netherlands, German was one of the languages we had to learn at school. For me, it started with ‘Engel’. Both text, music and performance.
Absolutely love your Rammstein reactions. You should definitely do "Mein Herz brennt" original video compared to the piano version and the "Du hast" Paris live version. Their live videos are so worth it. Best live band in the world! (get the lyrics if you do "Mein Herz brennt" ;) )
Hi guys, greatings from germany, what a great reaction to "Zeit" one of my favorit songs at all time, if you want to do more Rammstein do "Deutschland" its like a movie about german history and its fantastic but you have to do some research in advance before you do an reaction and you have to play it to the end.
Hello from Hamburg Germany, I say... Rammstein are the biggest Mirror of the Face of the World... The Music are so deep and Ironic but Lot of trues are in there 😉🤘🏼😈
It was nice to see you a bit shocked (in a positive way) by this video. Yes, of course Rammstein has a formula and you can clearly recognize their music with typical riffs, even here when the guitars kick in. But the key is, that you can never be sure of what to expect. And yes, there are some crazy performances and videos, but usually what you get is really stunning and - I'd say - safe. I don't understand people calling Till "controversial" - apart from some really old live performances he (or Rammstein in general) is simply going through any topics, including those which are usually controversial. You are right about the music videos. Or ALMOST right. I'd say, that these videos usually give complete new perspective on the song - you could listen to the record, figure out how to interpret it and once you see the video you'd say "oh my, I was so damn wrong". I'd like to recommend you some amazing music videos - if you didn't already happen to see them anyways: 1. "Deutschland" - a wide view on history of Germany: th-cam.com/video/2nmxqHJZvO8/w-d-xo.html 2. "Ich Will" - commentary on media hunting for a good story, based on true events (Gladbeck Hostage Crisis): th-cam.com/video/yF5KdN8SyoY/w-d-xo.html 3. "Mein Herz Brennt" - one of the most known songs by Rammstein, with beautiful strings: th-cam.com/video/8NohvVK-Qes/w-d-xo.html 4. „Dalai Lama”, inspired by 1782 Goethe’s poem, „Erlkönig”... and some event that happened to the band: th-cam.com/video/vO1YA0f4zvE/w-d-xo.html 5. "Mein Herz Brennt" in a piano version - such an amazing solo performance by Till, a must see! th-cam.com/video/Qm2lBGvbMjg/w-d-xo.html All links are with English subtitles added by educatedmarine TH-cam user, who does a fantastic job. For "Dalai Lama" he actually created the music video, since Rammstein didn't. I could go on and on, but this is perfect for start the ride down the rabbit hole 😁
I think Rammstein have always been multi faceted in that they have always had the deep meaningful songs and the lighter hearted fun songs. It’s just that controversy gets more coverage! Either way I think they are possibly the best band of all time- there are very few bands that have such a massive following of people of all nationalities that don’t speak the same language yet everyone understands them in some way.
Rammstein have now been performing for around 25 years, and still the same band members. It has been theorized that their music has changed with the tastes of the audience which has kept people interested in them. Deutschland has a techno backing track for example, not the Heavy metal people associate with them. And then their Music video production quality, can sometimes exceed some movies. Do Deutschland as well.
Hello you two. That was a great reaction. I love this song and think Till has outdone himself with the lyrics. The lyrics touch the soul. Depending on my mood, the song affects me differently. Sometimes the song makes me sad, sometimes it fills me with joy because I think back to moments in my life that felt perfect. And the music is fantastic with it. The video is a piece of art, that sets new standards in the music video industry. As you may know, the band grew up in the GDR. There, many things could not be said freely without fear of reprisals. Rammstein and Till raised this limitation to an art form in their lyrics. It allows the listener, ironically, to make up their own mind about the meaning behind the lyrics. Till works a lot with metaphors in the lyrics. 'Sun', for example, is often symbolic of the heart. If you're interested in the lyrics, while watching the video, I recommend educatedmarine site. He does a great job, translating the lyrics. With love from Germany 🤘 😎
Watch Ich Will and Mein Herz Brent studio videos (not live) and maybe Sonne, Auslander as well, and see how creative they have been with videos for years.
They have always had songs like this one and their lyrics have (almost) always been very deep, poetic and often double meaning. Maybe first two albums were more... raw (I cannot find better word right now), but since "Mutter" album (2001) they have not change much. Actually, "Mutter" and "Zeit" albums are my favourite. And there are, in general, lots of their softer, very touching songs. Maybe I can even say that "soft Rammstein" is my favourite. If you want to check some of such songs, I can recommend "Mutter", "Donaukinder", "Amour", "Ohne Dich", "Hilf mir"... the list is long. At the end, I highly recommend song "Lügen" from "Zeit" album (with lyrics, of course). Cheers from Serbia!
Guys, it would be worth your while to watch both Rammstein videos for the song “Mein Herz Brennt”. The band version AND the piano version. If you appreciated Zeit, you won’t be disappointed.
The controversy that comment might have been talking about is all the BDSM stuff in that lyrics and performance. Till also it’s very open in songs about weir fetishes and support to the gay community. He is also not shy to dress in drag. But as long as it’s all consenting adults who actually cares? Right?
They were always like this !!! They never changed for anyone. You know that do hust is in the matrix film and I know them since 1997 when I saw the movie lost highway where they gave 2 songs. You should make a research for them so that you can understand them !!!
My interpretation and thought was time goes on like a continuous cycle and those rare occasions when we are truly happy of course we want time to stop. The showing of the sand and hourglass ⌛ time keeps going and them showing the scenes reversing to me meant a desire to go back in time either to the moment of birth and start our lives over or to before we're even born saying no i don't even want to be born i want to go back before i was even conscious of my own existence and mortality. Them being blindfolded to me was no one knows whats going to happen in the future we don't know what kind of lives these babies are going to have.
Till got arrested in Worcester Massachusetts, 15 min drive from my house. Colonial cops I guess! 😆 It took me a week to recover from watching this video for the first time. I might have been a little too high. 🥴 Subbed!
⏳ TIME⌛ Some things should Some things shan't(should not) We see, yet we are blind We cast shadows without light After us, there will be a 'before' Out of youth, necessity is born already We keep dying until we live (We) die living into(the)death We drift towards the end No rest, just striving forward Endlessness is waving at the shore Captured in the river of time Time Please stand still, stand still Time This shall go on forever and always Warm body will be cold soon One cannot conjure the future Allows for no stay Creating and destroying immediately I lie here in your arms Oh, could it just be like this forever But the time knows of no mercy Already, the moment is gone Time It is so beautiful, so beautiful Everyone knows The perfect Moment When our time has come Then it is time to go Stopping when things are at thier best The clocks stand still The moment is so perfect But the time keeps running(out) Moment, would you Please remain I'm not ready yet
Rammstein is a spectrum. At the one end a song like Pussy is fun and graphic. At the other end this song serious and emotional. Between these two there are countless songs covering every aspect of life. There is no any other band that can achieve this kind of variaty. They are bounderless and it is a double egde sword. You can love them or hate them depending which song you came across first. As said in Deutschland; i want to love you and hate you at the same time.
I enjoy your Rammstein and BTS reactions! Whoever said he/she will not watch your Rammstein videos and only BTS- that’s their lost! Prejudices are everywhere. If Rammstein is controversial? As a German I feel like they are not that much controversial as they are portrayed as in the Media. Well, it might depend on the video though haha.
Great Reaction - thx - Rammstein shows society a mirror in front of its face. Most of the topics they sing about and address are from the society. Partly the society is disgusted by it, but these kinds of arguments exist and will often looked away. Rammstein address these issues in his music and stage show.. The last plate stands out in this respect, so that one has the feeling that his pubescent phase is ended and are now grown up.
Many of their songs make me feel very deep and heavy emotions. Yes they are controversial because they don't care about taboos and will put their finger where it hurts. They have an amazing way with words and you can interpret the he'll out of their songs and I love that they never explain what their songs are actually about, so it is open for your very own interpretation and emotions.
Here are a few tips, from the penultimate album of course "Deutschland" (germany), "Radio" (radio) and others? Unfortunately, I have to tell you that Rammstein, of course in the context of the time they were made, always made absolutely insane videos, I'll just say quickly: Amerika (America), Sonne (Sun), Ich will (I want) , Keine Lust ( no desire) , Ohne dich (without you) , Mein Herz brennt (my heart burns ,original video,piano version and live from Download Festival) , Engel (Angel,Video and live from Madison Square Garden) , Ich tu dir weh (I hurt you,Video and MSG) , Seemann (sailor) , Mutter (mother), Du riechst so gut (you smell so god) ,Pussy and of course "Du Hast" live in paris, official video, and so on, and so on. I think you'll find out the rest yourself if you stay in the rabbit hole. Greetings from Germany, very entertaining and interesting reactions, keep it up
We Germans like to go deep, that's partially the reason why we're not very fond of small talk. Here's a the German comedian Vince Ebert in America who is actually a scientist making fun of us in English th-cam.com/video/NpGWDBZuUww/w-d-xo.html "German Humor meets American Mentality / Science Comedian Vince Ebert"
Rammstein are contrivercial but are not afraid to have an opinion and that's where Rammstein are misunderstood the language barrier 🚧 certain topic choices and their heavy sound and this is where their videos play such an important part to understand their music and what they are singing about. There live shows are on another level where they love to bring the heat 🔥🔥🔥 which they are well known for if not the best in the industry. I find Rammstein never fail to deliver, they are the quintessential of what a true performer is. be it video / computer or live.👍❤️🥝🇳🇿
To answer the question whether they have always been like that watch their old videos Rosenrot, du riechst so gut (98), Mutter, ohne Dich, Mein Teil (not live).
you should check out "Mein Herz brennt" (My heart is burning) the music video and compare it to the music video of the piano version (my absolute favourite at the moment) and check out the lyrics for them as well.
If you want to see something else that doesn’t follow their formula I think someone already recommended them. Mein Hertz Brent original and piano version. Also a song that doesn’t have a video but so far I haven’t seen anyone react to it it’s Roter Sand it’s not a very well known song but I love it so much.
Wellcome to the Rammstein journey! You will have alot to explore. Just open ur minds and take in the deeper meening of their most provocative songs and videos. I been on this journey for 25+ years and I still not done exoloring! Till is a genious when he writes the lyrichs.
Great thoughtful video, As others have suggested Rammstein's "Deutschland" video is a must see. Also an earlier song, "Seemann", the Rammstein video as well as a cover vesion of it by Apocalyptica featuring Nina Hagen, they are both masterpieces in my opinion. They will give you something to talk about.....for hours on end!!
Another thing that came to my the babies being put back in to the mother to be born again on earth and also coming back in a sense they died on earth and are now being born in the other world and their birth or rebirth on earth is them already starting to die because as soon as your born your dying..your dying to live or as Rammstein put it "Wir sterben weiter bis wir leben" "We keep dying until we live" because in a sense what we perceive as dying is us actually being born again into the other world that's why the girl in the end seems happy when she dies because she knows that her death here means her being born over there..if that makes any Sense? This is art at its finest..a true Masterpiece!!
Great response. Next I recommend the video clips … „Deutschland“, „Radio“, „Angst“, „Ausländer“, „Ich will“, "Mein Herz brennt“ (Rockversion and Pianoversion), „Keine Lust“. All are very different! I envy you guys seeing this for the first time.
“Meine Tranen” is another one off the new album that was really deep. Kind of an unrated song on there. I was lukewarm on it at first but if you play it with the lyrics it’s definitely powerful and shows once again that very deep side of them. No music video unfortunately but definitely worth checking out a lyrical video.
Maybe you mean it in a different way when you say thier ' formula ' for videos ... To me a formula might be ' shock ' ... Something that stands out /// ... might be shocking to many people at least for a moment ; but with Rammstein it represents something / is symbolic , like the monks eating atop the body of Germania in the Deutschland video . A shocking image isn't there for shock value alone .. ~ like say a Die Antword or Marilyn Manson video ... I've noticed with Rammstein videos ; to watch the credits is to experience the full piece of work ... The outro music expresses the song in a different way ...
Rammstein is pure art. And insane live ;D - If you wanna blow away your mind you also should react to bands like Nightwish, Epica, Ayreon, Blind Guardian or Sabaton. Start with Nightwish "Ghost Love Score" live from Wacken. Meet the goddess an valkyrie of Metal first - best female vocalist of our time - 10 min pure goosies. Promised ;D
cool conversation … btw the case where Till & Flake get arrested for their Performance is the Song „Pussy“. Its about the human sexuality and no one has to judge or blame anyone for this. They do tell their perspective straight in the Face … and sorry, but prude America can’t handle it so they get arrested for it. Not every Song but many many has a deeper Meaning. And a last Information … Till ist also a Lyric Poet and has published 2 Books. Keep going guys and warm greetings from Germany 🇩🇪
Please check out and react to the Piano version of Mein Herz Brennt by Sven Helbig. It's Till singing and performing solo in the music video and it's SO good!
Ohne Dich from Rammstein is available with subs also and it is not exactly in the formula as well its liek Zeit a little more mellow. Another great Video is for Rosenrot or even better Sonne (brings a whole new meaning to Disneys 7 dwarfs) The video si amazing :D Also Sonne is the song that was the piano version at the end of the Deutschland video. PS: Amazon has a great Documentary on their gig in Madision Squarde garden and that being their first time back in the USA after they were banned from performing there. A lot of american rock bands get their interviews in and its a great Documentary even for not rammstein fans. its called "Rammstein in AMerika" really entertaining and the guys are super humble
This video fucking kills me. This came out when my mom was slowly dying of cancer. She passed away in December. I still cannot listen to this without absolutely breaking down. It's so beautiful and sad. How I wish we could stop time, if even for a moment.
My condolences
I can understand your sadness
My father died of prostate cancer
December 9, 2013
My family and I couldn't believe it's been 10 years
it doesn't feel like that, just surreal
Absolutely true, this song is so profound
as if you could feel it with your soul

The three figures are the Norns. The Norns are deities in Norse, Germanic mythology who are responsible for shaping human destiny. Their names are Urðr, Verðandi, and Skuld. They stand for "what was", "what is" and "what is to come". They also care for and protect the "world(s) tree" Yggdrasill, which stands at the center of the universe and connects the nine worlds (Asgard, Vanaheim, Alfheim, Midgard (World of human), Jötunheim, Muspelheim, Nidavellir, Niftheim and Helheim) seen in the video as an kind of "hourglass" or "tree of sand" where the women give birth to the children.
To get it to the point, the band Rammstein are real artists and of course, sometimes they do controversial things but actually they show a mirror of our society and the way some behave. They have always made class A video clips and put a lot of efforts, time and money into it.
We have that "controversial thingyding" talk in Germany too (mostly by people who don't want to understand and are eager to put Rammstein in the right-wing corner), every time Rammstein puts out a new album. BUT, that's being said, not at all sooo controversial as it's seen in the US. Making lyrics about life, reality, can't be controversial. Can it? Really? I don't think so. Unless you're a "Pussy" (hahahaha) or neglect reality as it is. I know, there are people who don't want to be "intimidated" by the lyrics and visuals, but they usually aren't listening and watching Rammstein videos anyway. The horrors of life, human behavior and the nastiness some people bring to the world shouldn't thrown into a imaginary hole to not be seen anymore. It's already so,so deep and filled with all crap we humans have done to eachother! So, don't let us be pussies and shy away from reality! I APPRECIATE RAMMSTEIN for what and how they're doing their job as musicians so, so much. I only have love for them, as metalhead and as human being! Thanks for reacting to Rammstein and your thoughts guys!! Greetings from Germany 🤘
@@teardrop-in-a-fishbowl I have to agree with you. I recently read that they are not politically correct and therefore they are almost hated by the West German press. In addition, they are East Germans. II don't think the press is doing itself any favours. Greetings from Germany
@@teardrop-in-a-fishbowl I recently read that certain people can also crochet a scandal because of the birth scene. Well, this time they controlled themselves. Many have a board in front of their heads. Heard a Dieter Bohlen say that Till could not sing. Especially this guy. 😂🤣😂
@@annegretkasten6277 Right! And "funny words" coming from a not so funny guy are sooo 🥱 IDK! Even guys who I highly respect, like Zizek, said lots of bs about Rammstein ("Pussy"). If you want to misunderstand, you misunderstand! Some people are heavily biased, have a wrong conception of how art, yes Rammstein is art, should be and use words as well as visuals to tell stories (of being the perpetrator), "tell IT" from the perpetrators perspective. This does NOT mean the band "PROMOTES" this kind of behavior!! And using "controversial" images,who might be "offensive" to the one or the other, is as important as using "nasty words" to describe our human world THAT THERE IS!
@@teardrop-in-a-fishbowl 😊🙋
No normal human being cannot not be moved by this song😢❤
I love Rammstein, for over twenty years now.. This song means so much, I cared for my beautiful mum, she had cancer..fought it for years, then passed away in my arm's.. My mum..
I wished I had every day with her again.. I want every moment back.
Thank you Rammstein x
So sorry for your loss. I lost my mom as well due to cancer. Just started "discovering" Rammstein. Though i already knew some songs of them but never really though about it more than just hearing a song. It's completely different now. In 2009 i was diagnosed with leukemia at age 23. Since then, i've only known physical and emotionally/mental pain. Lost all of my "friends." In a matter of weeks/months. I was diagnosed with Graft Versus Host Disease in 2012. I ended up in a wheelchair and i have nerve pain all over my body. In 2018, life showed it's "ironic" way of time and my mom died just 21 days after her 62yr. She was just 1yr. in retirement.
It's been almost 5yrs. and i still miss her very much!
@@DBLCreations much love, and a hug where ever you are in the world..x
@@annmarieray3922 Thanks! Love & hug back (from Belgium.) X 🙂
Rammstein is deep and pure art.
Best Band ever ❤❤❤
It ias a girl, daughter, at the end it was written that the name of the actress was Alma.
watching Rammstein reactions from people all around the world who do not speak a lick of german has been quite a rabbit hole for me. I have to say i really enjoyed y'alls comments. I hope you get to see Rammstein live. I will see them again in September. blows my mind how so many americans know every word and sing along the entire concert.
They def have a formula with their heavier songs. But they are true artists and have the freedom to express their art in all forms.
Another comparison is to watch Mein Hertz Brent the original, then the original piano version.
One is heavy, intense and head banging. The other is artistic, intense
The "controversy" of Till is that he is Till. Superficial glances will find controversy. But he's a poet and everything has double meanings. He tends to play the villain in the videos and songs in order to show the depravity of society, not glamorize it.
I recommend "Deutschland." It's a song about their love and hate for their home country. The video is chock full of historical symbolism
+1
I defintely recommend the original Mein Herz Brennt and follow it with the piano version. Both outstanding, and best watched in that order.
I agree re Till. I love him but the tabloid media etc love to try and paint him as something that he isn't, and of trying to paint the band as something they are not.
At one point the band even made the track "Links 2-3-4" as their means of addressing some of the controversy of the time (yes it has a music video, also great live)
Often the controversy comes, once again, from the media.
For example in Deutschland music video, there is a section of the video that makes sense with context. However some of the stills of this were printed in the media before the songs release and without context, creating a fuss over nothing.
I highly recommend you watch those videos, Mein Herz Brennt official music vid, Mein Herz Brennt official piano version, and Deutschland official music video, and I will say Deutschland is incredible and it definitely is one where you do need to watch the full thing, intro and outro too!!
You might also enjoy the Links live performance, and another recommend is Haifisch official music video from the LIFAD album
Enjoyed this Zeit reaction, especially your different interpretations. It is so beautiful, the song and so poignant too.
PS Cory (possibly), were you thinking of Feuer Frei when you suggested "firestarter"?
Sie woll'n mein Herz am rechten Fleck, doch seh ich dann nach unten weg ;)
Well explained! Danke!
Rammstein are genius. There are always a deeper meaning in the lyrics 🔥🤩
Quote ‘it hurt me’… the kind of ‘hurt’ that does something with you, makes you aware of… kind of hurt. A lot of people can’t cope with this kind of ‘hurt’ and will be appalled with it. It digs deep and that will hurt. This is an art form and art isn’t art if it doesn’t do something with somebody (a whole lot of somebodies if you wish 😉).
Two big boys quietly and deep touched. Rammstein only can do this...
Thanks for your wonderful reaction! You are men, true men! Every man and woman should love you for it!
This song, and its video, really hit me hard as well. It has quickly become in one of my favorite songs ever. Love your reaction to it and really hope you do more Rammstein reactions.
Well said, gentleman. Yes, Rammstein has always been like this. It is a mistake made by many that they perceive that Rammstein has produced a ‘novelty’ hit (‘Du Hast’) and nothing else. I have been a fan since 2003, have seen them live 4 times…and I’m a classical music lover. I wouldn’t love them so much if there wasn’t such depth to them (in addition to the occasional fun song, like ‘Dicke Titten’).
To be fair, Dicke Titten could just aswell have been written by Mozart so I'd say they're followong a great tradition of serious German and Austrian musicians occasionally writing funny novelty songs.
Their videos have got better with age I'd say (naturally I guess, more success = more money)
Thx for showing the subtitles and showing the credit’s until the last breathtaking!!
I want to thank you for being one of the very few male reactors that didn't look shocked or horrified when they show the scenes of the women giving birth. I was already expecting to see a look of disgust or some comment on how they shouldn't show that. So thank you very much for being a mature adult
Feel ya big time! This is the best video that have seen, in my 53-year old life. They are not only musicians, but also artists - the way the song really is one with this video as well...in every way! Pure art!
It is a Girl. You can read it in the end credits of the video...."Daughter Alma"
Rammstein is absolutely the ‘moment where art equals music and video’. Some may be shocked, some may be convinced Rembrandt isn’t a proper painter… everybody is entitled to carries there own opinion, but for me, if there is perfection, this comes awfully close to the summit of it all!!!
9:55 In the outro is written "Daughter : Alma"! 😉
Alma is real daughter of the bassist
I can't watch the video and the song continuously because I'm in tears. The song triggers too many beautiful and at the same time sad memories in friends and acquaintances that you later lost in time. "When our time has come, then it´s time to go, Stop, when it´s most beautiful ... the clocks stop .... The moment is so perfect, but time keeps ticking a moment, linger, I´m not ready yet ... "
Another masterpeace of Rammstein!
The song gives me alternating, chilling and touching effects. The video and music are together a masterpiece of art.
I guess you don't watch many reaction videos ...
It's actually quite common / watch the straight video yourself ... instead of demanding rudely .
Welcome to Rammstein.
They were always like this. And if you think they have a formula, you do not know them. Till is Germany's greatest poet.
Listen to your talk. Rammstein made you think.
Rammstein have always had fantastic videos their whole career, but they really stepped up for Deutschland in 2019 and since then, they've been outstanding. It's hard to recommend another video if you're checking Rammstein out in your own time because we don't know what you have and haven't seen but it would be great to continue these reactions as you explore your journey with them. Also controversy surrounding Till, I'm not sure what they're alluding to either beyond the arrest already mentioned. His solo project can get a bit weird/pornographic and *some* have called it sexually aggressive but in irl he's a lot more introverted and no one has come out with any allegations or anything like that. He's pretty widely loved
I had the luck to see them live this year. And when they played this song, Till changed the line _ein Jeder kennt, den perfekten Moment_ (everyone knows the perfect moment) into _ihr alle kennt, den perfekten Moment_ (you all know, the perfect moment).
Aside from that, I grew up with Rammstein, and it's true, that they do many controversial themes in their songs. But there is often a deeper meaning in them, which you not always see at first. Such as these cloak figures resemble the norns, deities from norse mythology, called Urðr (Wyrd), Verðandi, and Skuld, which are shaping the course of human destinies. They are incarnations of the past, present and future.
there is no real controversy at all , at least if you use your brain while listening. They got misinterpreted a lot ( by leftist who thought they are nazis, also by nazis who wished they are naizis, mostly by ideots that just dont't get it, and a whole lot of offended people (christians, homophobes ect. ) while in fact they are rerally nice guys and incredible artists that don't cut corners. They bring up the hard topics, and some people just can't comprehend it
Till Lindemann has also two other projects: Lindemann together with Peter Tägtgren. Two albums (one German, one English) and one live DVD. It is hard to describe this project. It has metal, a tango, even rap and very (VERY) disturbing music video's that can not be found on TH-cam.
His other project is called 'Till Lindemann'. With BEAUTIFUL classical music and ballads. Together with violinist, or the French singer Zaz. But his song 'Ich Hasse Kinder' (I hate children) is very heavy. And has a great lyrics and music video.
And last but not least: Rammstein has a timelaps video from their 2019 and 2022 tour stage on their youtube channel. It is worth checking out. The band is touring the US soon with the full setup.
Till (lyrics, vocals) also has published several poetry collections, some of which have been translated and available in English translation
Lindemann (with Peter Tägtgren) has some amazing - and some very disturbing - songs and videos.
Till Lindemann has done some diverse and random things (as in the artistic persona/project of the name, and as a person too I guess) including releasing a single on International Children's Day last year(?) called Ich Hasse Kinder, along with music video.
There is also a short film by the same name that is about 20 minutes long and I think all in Russian?
Interestingly the topic of the music video, and the lyrics are extremely divergent from the visuals in a fascinating horror type of way
You should absolutely check out some of the Rammstein stuff you missed over the years, also I was lucky enough to go to one of their recent shows, and DAMN they can put on a show!
I think you're ready for the 9 minute version of Deutschland.
My favorite song always was Klavier till Zeit came out.
yes they always have been like this, just getting better and better
For a while I listened Rammstein because I just thought they sounded cool. I really started to LOVE them when I started to search for lyrics translations and meaning of their songs.
Found you from your BTS videos and am so happy that you’re expanding to Rammstein! I am actually seeing them in Minneapolis on Saturday night and I’m hoping they play Zeit. One of my favorite songs is Wiener Blut. The performance live from Wacken is my favorite. I recommend looking up the story behind the song so you can appreciate it.
Loved seeing your reactions to this. They elevate the entire music video concept to film level storytelling. I have no hesitation suggesting their video for "Ohne Dich" based on the impact this video had on both y'all.
Let me tell you guys, up until a few months ago, I had exactly the same view as you, meaning - I thought Rammstein was just controversy, without any depth to it. And after I watched the song Angst from the new album, the exact same thought struck me also - Have they always been like that? After that happened, I've rediscovered Rammstein, I've listened to their whole discography, and yes they have Always been like that!
What a great analysis of this song. Great work. A very powerful video. My favourite part, visually, was the reaper in the sand become 3. Brilliant stuff.
This great song is about the circle of life 🙋♂️✌️
Rammstein is so extreme intense, it wonders me again and again. Lucky to be from the Netherlands, German was one of the languages we had to learn at school. For me, it started with ‘Engel’. Both text, music and performance.
Absolutely love your Rammstein reactions. You should definitely do "Mein Herz brennt" original video compared to the piano version and the "Du hast" Paris live version. Their live videos are so worth it. Best live band in the world! (get the lyrics if you do "Mein Herz brennt" ;) )
Hi guys, greatings from germany, what a great reaction to "Zeit" one of my favorit songs at all time, if you want to do more Rammstein do "Deutschland" its like a movie about german history and its fantastic but you have to do some research in advance before you do an reaction and you have to play it to the end.
Hello from Hamburg Germany, I say... Rammstein are the biggest Mirror of the Face of the World... The Music are so deep and Ironic but Lot of trues are in there 😉🤘🏼😈
Awesome reaction guys thanks 🙏
Rammstein ❤❤🔥
“Mein Herz brennt” - piano version !!!
Good reaction - you will be remembered!
It was nice to see you a bit shocked (in a positive way) by this video. Yes, of course Rammstein has a formula and you can clearly recognize their music with typical riffs, even here when the guitars kick in. But the key is, that you can never be sure of what to expect. And yes, there are some crazy performances and videos, but usually what you get is really stunning and - I'd say - safe. I don't understand people calling Till "controversial" - apart from some really old live performances he (or Rammstein in general) is simply going through any topics, including those which are usually controversial.
You are right about the music videos. Or ALMOST right. I'd say, that these videos usually give complete new perspective on the song - you could listen to the record, figure out how to interpret it and once you see the video you'd say "oh my, I was so damn wrong".
I'd like to recommend you some amazing music videos - if you didn't already happen to see them anyways:
1. "Deutschland" - a wide view on history of Germany: th-cam.com/video/2nmxqHJZvO8/w-d-xo.html
2. "Ich Will" - commentary on media hunting for a good story, based on true events (Gladbeck Hostage Crisis): th-cam.com/video/yF5KdN8SyoY/w-d-xo.html
3. "Mein Herz Brennt" - one of the most known songs by Rammstein, with beautiful strings: th-cam.com/video/8NohvVK-Qes/w-d-xo.html
4. „Dalai Lama”, inspired by 1782 Goethe’s poem, „Erlkönig”... and some event that happened to the band: th-cam.com/video/vO1YA0f4zvE/w-d-xo.html
5. "Mein Herz Brennt" in a piano version - such an amazing solo performance by Till, a must see! th-cam.com/video/Qm2lBGvbMjg/w-d-xo.html
All links are with English subtitles added by educatedmarine TH-cam user, who does a fantastic job. For "Dalai Lama" he actually created the music video, since Rammstein didn't.
I could go on and on, but this is perfect for start the ride down the rabbit hole 😁
I think Rammstein have always been multi faceted in that they have always had the deep meaningful songs and the lighter hearted fun songs. It’s just that controversy gets more coverage! Either way I think they are possibly the best band of all time- there are very few bands that have such a massive following of people of all nationalities that don’t speak the same language yet everyone understands them in some way.
From dust we are born and to dust we return.🤘
Thanx for this reaction 👍👍👍
On point☑️
Cheers from Germany and go on🇩🇪🤘🤘🤘
Rammstein have now been performing for around 25 years, and still the same band members. It has been theorized that their music has changed with the tastes of the audience which has kept people interested in them.
Deutschland has a techno backing track for example, not the Heavy metal people associate with them.
And then their Music video production quality, can sometimes exceed some movies. Do Deutschland as well.
Hello you two. That was a great reaction. I love this song and think Till has outdone himself with the lyrics. The lyrics touch the soul. Depending on my mood, the song affects me differently. Sometimes the song makes me sad, sometimes it fills me with joy because I think back to moments in my life that felt perfect.
And the music is fantastic with it. The video is a piece of art, that sets new standards in the music video industry.
As you may know, the band grew up in the GDR. There, many things could not be said freely without fear of reprisals. Rammstein and Till raised this limitation to an art form in their lyrics. It allows the listener, ironically, to make up their own mind about the meaning behind the lyrics. Till works a lot with metaphors in the lyrics. 'Sun', for example, is often symbolic of the heart. If you're interested in the lyrics, while watching the video, I recommend educatedmarine site. He does a great job, translating the lyrics. With love from Germany 🤘 😎
Just a big thank you!
Watch Ich Will and Mein Herz Brent studio videos (not live) and maybe Sonne, Auslander as well, and see how creative they have been with videos for years.
They have always had songs like this one and their lyrics have (almost) always been very deep, poetic and often double meaning. Maybe first two albums were more... raw (I cannot find better word right now), but since "Mutter" album (2001) they have not change much. Actually, "Mutter" and "Zeit" albums are my favourite. And there are, in general, lots of their softer, very touching songs. Maybe I can even say that "soft Rammstein" is my favourite. If you want to check some of such songs, I can recommend "Mutter", "Donaukinder", "Amour", "Ohne Dich", "Hilf mir"... the list is long. At the end, I highly recommend song "Lügen" from "Zeit" album (with lyrics, of course).
Cheers from Serbia!
Guys, it would be worth your while to watch both Rammstein videos for the song “Mein Herz Brennt”. The band version AND the piano version. If you appreciated Zeit, you won’t be disappointed.
The controversy that comment might have been talking about is all the BDSM stuff in that lyrics and performance. Till also it’s very open in songs about weir fetishes and support to the gay community. He is also not shy to dress in drag. But as long as it’s all consenting adults who actually cares? Right?
not only death ... time, is new live too ! a circle
They were always like this !!! They never changed for anyone.
You know that do hust is in the matrix film and I know them since 1997 when I saw the movie lost highway where they gave 2 songs.
You should make a research for them so that you can understand them !!!
My interpretation and thought was time goes on like a continuous cycle and those rare occasions when we are truly happy of course we want time to stop. The showing of the sand and hourglass ⌛ time keeps going and them showing the scenes reversing to me meant a desire to go back in time either to the moment of birth and start our lives over or to before we're even born saying no i don't even want to be born i want to go back before i was even conscious of my own existence and mortality. Them being blindfolded to me was no one knows whats going to happen in the future we don't know what kind of lives these babies are going to have.
Till got arrested in Worcester Massachusetts, 15 min drive from my house. Colonial cops I guess! 😆
It took me a week to recover from watching this video for the first time. I might have been a little too high. 🥴
Subbed!
Flake became also arrested. later he said they didn't let us do our work. 😂
👍 a masterpiece..😍
⏳ TIME⌛
Some things should
Some things shan't(should not)
We see, yet we are blind
We cast shadows without light
After us, there will be a 'before'
Out of youth, necessity is born already
We keep dying until we live
(We) die living into(the)death
We drift towards the end
No rest, just striving forward
Endlessness is waving at the shore
Captured in the river of time
Time
Please stand still, stand still
Time
This shall go on forever and always
Warm body will be cold soon
One cannot conjure the future
Allows for no stay
Creating and destroying immediately
I lie here in your arms
Oh, could it just be like this forever
But the time knows of no mercy
Already, the moment is gone
Time
It is so beautiful, so beautiful
Everyone knows
The perfect Moment
When our time has come
Then it is time to go
Stopping when things are at thier best
The clocks stand still
The moment is so perfect
But the time keeps running(out)
Moment, would you Please remain
I'm not ready yet
Have you guys checked out "Deutschland" from Rammstein?
Rammstein is a spectrum. At the one end a song like Pussy is fun and graphic. At the other end this song serious and emotional. Between these two there are countless songs covering every aspect of life. There is no any other band that can achieve this kind of variaty. They are bounderless and it is a double egde sword. You can love them or hate them depending which song you came across first. As said in Deutschland; i want to love you and hate you at the same time.
nice, the song touches you, well good interpretatet
I enjoy your Rammstein and BTS reactions! Whoever said he/she will not watch your Rammstein videos and only BTS- that’s their lost! Prejudices are everywhere. If Rammstein is controversial? As a German I feel like they are not that much controversial as they are portrayed as in the Media. Well, it might depend on the video though haha.
Great Reaction - thx - Rammstein shows society a mirror in front of its face. Most of the topics they sing about and address are from the society. Partly the society is disgusted by it, but these kinds of arguments exist and will often looked away. Rammstein address these issues in his music and stage show..
The last plate stands out in this respect, so that one has the feeling that his pubescent phase is ended and are now grown up.
Many of their songs make me feel very deep and heavy emotions. Yes they are controversial because they don't care about taboos and will put their finger where it hurts. They have an amazing way with words and you can interpret the he'll out of their songs and I love that they never explain what their songs are actually about, so it is open for your very own interpretation and emotions.
Here are a few tips, from the penultimate album of course "Deutschland" (germany), "Radio" (radio) and others? Unfortunately, I have to tell you that Rammstein, of course in the context of the time they were made, always made absolutely insane videos, I'll just say quickly: Amerika (America), Sonne (Sun), Ich will (I want) , Keine Lust ( no desire) , Ohne dich (without you) , Mein Herz brennt (my heart burns ,original video,piano version and live from Download Festival) , Engel (Angel,Video and live from Madison Square Garden) , Ich tu dir weh (I hurt you,Video and MSG) , Seemann (sailor) , Mutter (mother), Du riechst so gut (you smell so god) ,Pussy and of course "Du Hast" live in paris, official video, and so on, and so on. I think you'll find out the rest yourself if you stay in the rabbit hole. Greetings from Germany, very entertaining and interesting reactions, keep it up
great reaction!
..from and to dust..circle of life and death..
We Germans like to go deep, that's partially the reason why we're not very fond of small talk.
Here's a the German comedian Vince Ebert in America who is actually a scientist making fun of us in English
th-cam.com/video/NpGWDBZuUww/w-d-xo.html
"German Humor meets American Mentality / Science Comedian Vince Ebert"
Rammstein are contrivercial but are not afraid to have an opinion and that's where Rammstein are misunderstood the language barrier 🚧 certain topic choices and their heavy sound and this is where their videos play such an important part to understand their music and what they are singing about. There live shows are on another level where they love to bring the heat 🔥🔥🔥 which they are well known for if not the best in the industry. I find Rammstein never fail to deliver, they are the quintessential of what a true performer is. be it video / computer or live.👍❤️🥝🇳🇿
To answer the question whether they have always been like that watch their old videos Rosenrot, du riechst so gut (98), Mutter, ohne Dich, Mein Teil (not live).
you should check out "Mein Herz brennt" (My heart is burning) the music video and compare it to the music video of the piano version (my absolute favourite at the moment) and check out the lyrics for them as well.
finding out what the song are about is part of the adventure i have to do it twice in English and Spanish and i love every second of it
If you want to see something else that doesn’t follow their formula I think someone already recommended them. Mein Hertz Brent original and piano version. Also a song that doesn’t have a video but so far I haven’t seen anyone react to it it’s Roter Sand it’s not a very well known song but I love it so much.
Rammstein always have a deeper meaning..
Sometimes they are just funny 😂
Wellcome to the Rammstein journey! You will have alot to explore. Just open ur minds and take in the deeper meening of their most provocative songs and videos. I been on this journey for 25+ years and I still not done exoloring! Till is a genious when he writes the lyrichs.
hey stay honest guys! u got a great setup, stay honest and youll do great :D
Stein um Stein live from Volkerball !!!
This hits me hard. In a similiar fashion there is Hurt from Johnny Cash or Ohne dich from Rammstein.
Great thoughtful video, As others have suggested Rammstein's "Deutschland" video is a must see. Also an earlier song, "Seemann", the Rammstein video as well as a cover vesion of it by Apocalyptica featuring Nina Hagen, they are both masterpieces in my opinion. They will give you something to talk about.....for hours on end!!
Another thing that came to my the babies being put back in to the mother to be born again on earth and also coming back in a sense they died on earth and are now being born in the other world and their birth or rebirth on earth is them already starting to die because as soon as your born your dying..your dying to live or as Rammstein put it "Wir sterben weiter bis wir leben" "We keep dying until we live" because in a sense what we perceive as dying is us actually being born again into the other world that's why the girl in the end seems happy when she dies because she knows that her death here means her being born over there..if that makes any Sense?
This is art at its finest..a true Masterpiece!!
Great response. Next I recommend the video clips … „Deutschland“, „Radio“, „Angst“, „Ausländer“, „Ich will“, "Mein Herz brennt“ (Rockversion and Pianoversion), „Keine Lust“. All are very different!
I envy you guys seeing this for the first time.
They evoluted..
“Meine Tranen” is another one off the new album that was really deep. Kind of an unrated song on there. I was lukewarm on it at first but if you play it with the lyrics it’s definitely powerful and shows once again that very deep side of them. No music video unfortunately but definitely worth checking out a lyrical video.
you both cool men... great wishes from germany
Maybe you mean it in a different way when you say thier ' formula ' for videos ...
To me a formula might be ' shock ' ... Something that stands out ///
... might be shocking to many people at least for a moment ;
but with Rammstein it represents something / is symbolic , like the monks eating atop the body of Germania in the Deutschland video . A shocking image isn't there for shock value alone ..
~ like say a Die Antword or Marilyn Manson video ...
I've noticed with Rammstein videos ; to watch the credits is to experience the full piece of work ...
The outro music expresses the song in a different way ...
Rammstein is pure art. And insane live ;D - If you wanna blow away your mind you also should react to bands like Nightwish, Epica, Ayreon, Blind Guardian or Sabaton. Start with Nightwish "Ghost Love Score" live from Wacken. Meet the goddess an valkyrie of Metal first - best female vocalist of our time - 10 min pure goosies. Promised ;D
You need to watch "Sonne" From Rammstein. Its a little bit older but has the same kind of creative production
cool conversation … btw the case where Till & Flake get arrested for their Performance is the Song „Pussy“. Its about the human sexuality and no one has to judge or blame anyone for this. They do tell their perspective straight in the Face … and sorry, but prude America can’t handle it so they get arrested for it. Not every Song but many many has a deeper Meaning. And a last Information … Till ist also a Lyric Poet and has published 2 Books. Keep going guys and warm greetings from Germany 🇩🇪
Time is also life...
Please check out and react to the Piano version of Mein Herz Brennt by Sven Helbig. It's Till singing and performing solo in the music video and it's SO good!
Great Song and Video! 👍
not "firestarter" but "feuer frei" is a song by Ramstein. Maybe thats the one you meant. :-P
Try "Ohne dich" and "Wilder wein" for others that don't fit their normal patterns
Ohne Dich from Rammstein is available with subs also and it is not exactly in the formula as well its liek Zeit a little more mellow. Another great Video is for Rosenrot or even better Sonne (brings a whole new meaning to Disneys 7 dwarfs) The video si amazing :D Also Sonne is the song that was the piano version at the end of the Deutschland video. PS: Amazon has a great Documentary on their gig in Madision Squarde garden and that being their first time back in the USA after they were banned from performing there. A lot of american rock bands get their interviews in and its a great Documentary even for not rammstein fans. its called "Rammstein in AMerika" really entertaining and the guys are super humble
