"Flugzeuge im Bauch" and "Halt mich" are two of his other extraordinary ballads that you will surely enjoy. Great reaction. Love your enthusiasm for German music.
@@Goddybag4Lee Deine Liebe klebt and Was soll das are published in English, too. But at the English versions you can hear that Herbert Grönemeyer isn't used to and doesn't paticularly like singing in English.
If you listen to the album version of this song, it's his most soft song ever. Yes this song makes you want to learn German. All his songs makes you want to learn German. He is one of the most poetic songwriters in Europe that's for sure.
This is the moment at the concert everyone is fighting back tears of joy. I had goosebumps like never ever before in my life. The bigger the audience the more intense the goosebumps. And in Cologne "his eyes were sweating" :) or you could say he had tears of joy too. Btw I don't think it is the softest Song ever. Listen to "Dort und hier" or "Halt mich". Or to "Deine Zeit" und "Sie", but in that Songs it is the subject that hits hard
@@tinisunblue But the album version of this song is so soft you feel like every bone turns into jelly and the music matches the voice like nothing else.
I don't know if it helps, but here are the German lyrics: Land unter Der Wind steht schief Die Luft aus Eis Die Möwen kreischen stur Elemente duellieren sich Du hältst mich auf Kurs Hab keine Angst vor'm Untergehn Gischt schlägt ins Gesicht Ich kämpf mich durch zum Horizont Denn dort treff' ich dich Geleite mich heim Rauhe Endlosigkeit Bist zu lange fort Mach die Feuer an Damit ich dich finden kann Steig zu mir an Bord Übernimm die Wacht Bring mich durch die Nacht Rette mich durch den Sturm Fass mich ganz fest an Das ich mich halten kann Bring mich zu Ende Lass mich nicht mehr los Bring mich zu Ende Lass mich nicht mehr los Der Himmel heult Die See geht hoch Wellen wehren dich Stürzen mich von Tal zu Tal Die Gewalten gegen mich Bist du ozeanweit entfernt Der Regen peitscht von vorn Und ist auch sinnlos Soll's nicht sein Ich geb dich nie verloren 2x: Geleite mich heim Rauhe Endlosigkeit Bist zu lange fort (second time only: Du bist zu lange fort) Mach die Feuer an Damit ich dich finden kann Steig zu mir an Bord Übernimm die Wacht Bring mich durch die Nacht Rette mich durch den Sturm Fass mich ganz fest an Das ich mich halten kann Bring mich zu Ende Lass mich nicht mehr los Bring mich zu Ende Lass mich nicht mehr los Quelle: Musixmatch Songwriter: Herbert Grönemeyer
The term “Land unter” is difficult to translate. There are small islands (in German: Halligen) in the German tidelands that haven’t got any dikes. The houses are protected by building them on small artificial hills. About twenty times a year a storm tide floods the islands. They are covered by sea water then except for the little hills with the houses. That’s called “Land unter.” For the worst case the houses have got special, protected rooms on the upper level that will remain standing on pillars even if the whole house is swept away by the tide. There is a good YT video about “Land unter”: th-cam.com/video/udm0V9cCvqA/w-d-xo.html Thank you very much for your reactions to German musicians!
This one has a nordic coastal theme. You see it by the accordion. His wife was from the North. It's about the tides, storms, fogs of love and the desire to be held. That's why she turns on the fires in the lighthouse and he sounds the foghorn. Very Northern Country!
The reason why people say that he is hard to understand is most problably his unique singing style. Most of the times he sings clear and does not mumble or something. He defies the conventions on melodic and rhythmic singing with those staccato and long notes combined in unusual rhythmic patterns. That often leads to unusual emphasis on words and make them hard to recocnize. There is even scientific discourse about how this is part of the reason for his big success. However, I do love his music 😃
The video is from a concert in Grönemeyer's home town of Bochum. Bochum is located in what was once a huge industrial area known as the "Ruhrgebiet" and played a major role in coal mining and steel production after the war, making a decisive contribution to the German economic miracle.

Hey D, If you like Herbert so much you should also react to his song "Halt mich" (hold me). It's one of his most beautiful love songs! Greatings from Hamburg!
You can learn a song in a foreign language, needs just a little bit of practise... If you want to try to sing it here is the link to the official video where the words are a little bit clearer. th-cam.com/video/7fMtG7_1-pQ/w-d-xo.htmlsi=DVxwoqMzjxRyr6xC . I put the lyrics there, too, just search for it. And you get to see young Herbert ❤
This is off topic but, I loved watching you discover Stevie ray Vaughan, and its been a while, thought you should see him play..., ain't gonna give up on love,.... enjoy
On the subject of "you can't understand what he's singing": perhaps you can compare him in this respect to Bruce Springsteen and the pronunciation in English. Although it has to be said that Herbert is perhaps a little easier to understand. He himself says that he is not the clearest and most articulate singer on the planet. But you can see that something comes across anyway :)
I am german and my first name is Herbert but no relations to this man lol 😆 I dont understand what he sings The only thing i know is the land where i live is the land called Down under And that's Australia 🇦🇺

The wind is askew
The air of ice
The seagulls screech stubbornly
The elements duel
You keep me on course
Don't be afraid of sinking
Spray hits my face
I fight my way to the horizon
For there I'll meet you
Guide me home
Rough endlessness
Gone too long
Light the fires
So that I can find you
Climb aboard with me
Take over the watch
Take me through the night
Save me through the storm
Hold me tight
So that I can hold on
Bring me to the end
Don't let me go anymore
The sky is howling
The sea is rising
Waves fight you back
Plunge me from valley to valley
The forces against me
Are ocean far away
The rain lashes from the front
And even if it's pointless
It shall not be
I'll never give you up
Take me home
Rough endlessness
Be gone too long
Light the fires
So I can find you
Climb aboard with me
Take over the watch
Take me through the night
Save me through the storm
Hold me tight
So that I can hold on
Bring me to the end
Don't let me go anymore
Sehr schöne Übersetzung 💚

"Bochum", "Kinder an die Macht", "Flugzeuge im Bauch", "Bleibt alles anders".... please go on with some of these great songs by Grönemeyer
Deine Liebe Klebt, Die Härte, Was Soll Das, Vollmond and Deine Hand is also great.

Die gesungenen Bilder sehe ich beim hören vor den Augen. Ich bin am Meer.
I don't know if it helps, but here are the German lyrics:
Land unter
Der Wind steht schief
Die Luft aus Eis
Die Möwen kreischen stur
Elemente duellieren sich
Du hältst mich auf Kurs
Hab keine Angst vor'm Untergehn
Gischt schlägt ins Gesicht
Ich kämpf mich durch zum Horizont
Denn dort treff' ich dich
Geleite mich heim
Rauhe Endlosigkeit
Bist zu lange fort
Mach die Feuer an
Damit ich dich finden kann
Steig zu mir an Bord
Übernimm die Wacht
Bring mich durch die Nacht
Rette mich durch den Sturm
Fass mich ganz fest an
Das ich mich halten kann
Bring mich zu Ende
Lass mich nicht mehr los
Bring mich zu Ende
Lass mich nicht mehr los
Der Himmel heult
Die See geht hoch
Wellen wehren dich
Stürzen mich von Tal zu Tal
Die Gewalten gegen mich
Bist du ozeanweit entfernt
Der Regen peitscht von vorn
Und ist auch sinnlos
Soll's nicht sein
Ich geb dich nie verloren
2x:
Geleite mich heim
Rauhe Endlosigkeit
Bist zu lange fort (second time only: Du bist zu lange fort)
Mach die Feuer an
Damit ich dich finden kann
Steig zu mir an Bord
Übernimm die Wacht
Bring mich durch die Nacht
Rette mich durch den Sturm
Fass mich ganz fest an
Das ich mich halten kann
Bring mich zu Ende
Lass mich nicht mehr los
Bring mich zu Ende
Lass mich nicht mehr los

yeah he even sings longs notes on consonants frequently, which is against every musical theory.

Deep in the west,
Where the sun gathers dust
It's better
Much better than you think
Deep in the west
You're no beauty
You're grey from work
You love yourself without make-up
You're an honest guy
But you're all screwed up
But that's what makes you special
You've got a pulse of steel
You can hear it loud in the night
You're just too modest
Your mine gold
Has brought us up again,
You're a flower of the region
Bochum
I come from you
Bochum
I hang on you
Good luck, Bochum
You are not a cosmopolitan city
On your Königsallee
There are no fashion shows
Here, where the heart still counts
Not big money
Who lives in Düsseldorf
You're a canopy bed for pigeons
And you're always on coke
You've got a summerhouse in the allotment
With a double pass
Every opponent wet
You and your VfL (Soccer Team)

In slow songs I understand the lyrics, in fast songs I find it more difficult 🤗
The faster you sing the less clear the words. That is natural with everyone.
