He also made a song about his Scotish friend Johnnie Walker. It is also a good song. And like other suggested "Freiheit", problably one of the best German songs ever in my eyes.
"Johnny Walker", of course. It is still sung late at night at many of the summer festivals here. I always had to play that with guitar again at the end.
The guy has been doing this for ages. His first song was "Mit 18" in 1978. Great song, still played today. He played in the 1977 film "Theo gegen den Rest der Welt". Had another breakthrough in 79 with the album "Mit Pfefferminz bin ich dein Prinz". This song was from 89. He has received countless awards and still performs today. Westernhagan, Grönemeyer, Lindenberg und Maffay are the most famous singers in Germany. They make most of their music themselves, are cross-.genre, have their own style and are very difficult to categorize.
Sein erstes Lied war "mit 18 " 🤣🤣🤣 Da liegt du mal 10 Jahre daneben. Schau mal nach "Taximann", das sind Marius seine Anfänge. Mal wieder wenig Ahnung aber viel Meinung
Here the Translation of "Weil ich dich liebe" Because I love you The desert was hot, the mountains were high The water was deep, and yet I found you I swore to you that you wouldn't escape me You were born for me, I don't live in vain I'm not a Rockefeller and I'm not a beau either I can't be faithful either, I lie anyway I swore to you that things would be different for you You were born for me, you are my eternity Because I love you, still and more Because I need you, I need you so much I long, I long for you Trust me, stay with me Take me in your arms, look into my face Try to tell me "I don't love you" You won't succeed, the price would be too high You were born for me, you will never get rid of me Because I love, still and more Because I need you, I need you so much I long, I long for you Forgive me, stay with me Because I love, still and more Because I need you, I need you so much I long, I long for you Forgive me, stay with me because I love you
It's in the text. He swore to be faithful and not to lie, implying that he cheated on her too and is now trying to save the relationship, because them being together was his destiny.
Westernhagen is a great artist!!! I love his older songs, for example "Mit 18" (the life version from 1984 is FIRE!!!), "Sexy" or "Dicke" i It's PURE, good old handmade Rock'n'Roll!!!!
Maybe something for english speakers: When you see the letters ei in that order, it's pronunced like you would pronounce the letter "I". When you see ie its like enlongated "e", so like in Springsteen". So the Word "Die" (female "the") might spelled in english something like "Dee": The Word "Stein" ("stone"), would be pronunced hmm... now it gets difficult... oh... just like Eisenhower.. There you see it, with his name it's actually the same.
Saw MMW 2 Times live in Concert in the 80s. Both shows were great. 'Sexy' was one of the Hits of that time 😜. Nowadays I like to listen to AnnenMayKantereit. 3 Guys, great music, Hearttouching Lyrics and a voice to lay hands down. Try Pocahontas, Barfuß am Klavier, Ausgehen and many more!! Greetings from northern Germany 🇩🇪♥️
Westernhagens mother's garden touched our garden. He broke my father's arm when he fouled him in a soccer game when my father was 14 years old. My father hated him. I did not like him when I was younger, but I have to admit that he has a few great songs
He doesn't love her, he's obsessed with her. It's the same theme as in Every Breath You Take by Police. He says very clearly that she has no chance - he controls her life. So, like the Police song, it's not a love song. It's a song about a disturbed personality. These people always say that they love someone and do everything out of love, and if they then hurt that person, then it's the victims' fault. Love and peace from Hannover, Germany. Klaus
Yes, it's a classic control song trying to guilt-trip the wronged girlfriend: "You can't look me in the face and say you don't love me, because I love you and I need you, no matter what I've done to hurt you."
The desert was hot, the mountains were high The water was deep, and yet I found you I swore to you that you wouldn't escape me You were born for me, I don't live in vain I'm not a Rockefeller and I'm not a beau either I can't be faithful either, I lie anyway I swore to you that things would be different for you You were born for me, you are my eternity Because I love you, still and more Because I need you, I need you so much I long, I long for you Trust me, stay with me Take me in your arms, look into my face Try to tell me "I don't love you" You won't succeed, the price would be too high You were born for me, you will never get rid of me Because I love, still and more Because I need you, I need you so much I long, I long for you Forgive me, stay with me Because I love, still and more Because I need you, I need you so much I long, I long for you Forgive me, stay with me because I love you
Similar, but better: Try "Willenlos (2023 Remaster)" by Westernhagen here on TH-cam. If you're wondering what he did to the person he's singing about here, that's the answer.
Here is the original album version when Marius Müller-Westernhagen was still a little bit younger th-cam.com/video/hDE7O5jJXiI/w-d-xo.htmlsi=91XiiPjdXnuTQWDJ
No wonder you compare his music to country. he became famous as an actor acting in a tv show as a lonely trucker. To get the full power of his songs listen to "Freiheit" (Freedom), a song that became famous during the time of german reunification. His life performance was unbelievable.
I’m being honest: I don't like this version at all. MTV Unplugged can sometimes produce something amazing, but it can also ruin a song. I'm not a fan of this rendition. I much prefer the original studio version, even though it's not my usual taste in music.
It is not the same as we heard in 89. we had this song on cd vinyl or kassette. this is live. But this was always played on partis, sorry about my englisch.
Oh, WESTERNHAGEN! *great ... < it was one of my biggest concerts I've attended to ... 100K+ people! Maybe do some early rock stuff? Check out "Westernhagen - Mit 18 (Rockpop In Concert, 24.08.1984)" *rock_n_roll

If you really love this kind of emotional songs, check out Alin Coen - Festhalten So beatuiful and sad at the same time. I promise you will love her music
I love his voice. But to be honest, the text sounds very abusive to me. "Born for me" "never get rid of me" and let's not forget the forgive me for cheating on you. Dude you are talking about a woman with her own life and aspirations and not about a posession.
Hi Dwayne, I don´t know, this has always ben my least favourite song from this artist. I think it feels kinda creepy "you won´t get rid of me ..., you were born for me,,," just doesn´t sit right with me. He did some decent stuff though, over the years.
When you hear the song, you still believe that the German language consists of Hitler's barks. German often sounds like that and not like this Austrian emigrant.

You must react to "Freiheit" from him😊❤
... and we all are about to sing along, right?! :)
The original version from 1989 though, that is the best one.
I second that.
That is a classic! The one song from him every German knows
Freiheit von Westernhagen ❤ist mit das beste was Geschichte geschrieben hat und heute wie damals uns alle sehr berührt.
He also made a song about his Scotish friend Johnnie Walker.
It is also a good song.
And like other suggested "Freiheit", problably one of the best German songs ever in my eyes.
"Johnny Walker", of course. It is still sung late at night at many of the summer festivals here. I always had to play that with guitar again at the end.
Freiheit is one of my favorites, but sadly misused in the last years.
The guy has been doing this for ages. His first song was "Mit 18" in 1978. Great song, still played today.
He played in the 1977 film "Theo gegen den Rest der Welt".
Had another breakthrough in 79 with the album "Mit Pfefferminz bin ich dein Prinz".

Westernhagan, Grönemeyer, Lindenberg und Maffay are the most famous singers in Germany. They make most of their music themselves, are cross-.genre, have their own style and are very difficult to categorize.
Reinhard Mey! that being said, i think he would find it funny being forgotten.
@@vsmash2 Reinhard Mey is again a special genre. Liedermacher/Barde, like Bob Dylan, than he is certainly the best known in the German-speaking world.
Leider verstorben, aber Rio hätte auch gerne einen Platz auf deiner Liste.
Sein erstes Lied war "mit 18 " 🤣🤣🤣 Da liegt du mal 10 Jahre daneben. Schau mal nach "Taximann", das sind Marius seine Anfänge. Mal wieder wenig Ahnung aber viel Meinung
I really love this guy, he's a legend! 🥰 Greetings from Germany to you 🫶🏻 Westernhagen has some other great songs as well
Here the Translation of "Weil ich dich liebe"
Because I love you
The desert was hot, the mountains were high
The water was deep, and yet I found you
I swore to you that you wouldn't escape me
You were born for me, I don't live in vain
I'm not a Rockefeller and I'm not a beau either
I can't be faithful either, I lie anyway
I swore to you that things would be different for you
You were born for me, you are my eternity
Because I love you, still and more
Because I need you, I need you so much
I long, I long for you
Trust me, stay with me
Take me in your arms, look into my face
Try to tell me "I don't love you"
You won't succeed, the price would be too high
You were born for me, you will never get rid of me
Because I love, still and more
Because I need you, I need you so much
I long, I long for you
Forgive me, stay with me
Because I love, still and more
Because I need you, I need you so much
I long, I long for you
Forgive me, stay with me
because I love you
Recolverheld „Ich lass für dich das Licht an“ makes my eyes wet every time. I‘m a 53 year old rock music guy….
Revolverheld, sorry
One of my favourite artists.
It's in the text. He swore to be faithful and not to lie, implying that he cheated on her too and is now trying to save the relationship, because them being together was his destiny.
You pretty much nailed it. He comes from simpler times and his songs belong there.
"Mit 18" ("with 18
years") from 1977. He was a rough street guy.
My most loved Songs from him are „Freiheit“ and „Jonny Walker“.
Westernhagen is a great artist!!! I love his older songs, for example "Mit 18" (the life version from 1984 is FIRE!!!), "Sexy" or "Dicke" i
It's PURE, good old handmade Rock'n'Roll!!!!
Somehow it remembers me about Rio Reiser. 🤔 It could be a good song for a reaction. 😅 Für immer und dich!

Try Sonderzug nach Pankow by Udi Lindenberg! Such a fun song.
He doesn't love her, he's obsessed with her.
It's the same theme as in Every Breath You Take by Police.
He says very clearly that she has no chance - he controls her life.
So, like the Police song, it's not a love song.

That‘s right! I love you and I need you don‘t fit together.
Yes, it's a classic control song trying to guilt-trip the wronged girlfriend: "You can't look me in the face and say you don't love me, because I love you and I need you, no matter what I've done to hurt you."
Grüße aus Paderborn 🤗
It sounds so adorable … but it‘s a hymn on toxic relationships. Great song, great artist
i like the original version much better as it's much more rock'n roll but yeah, he's great.
Ich finde die andere Version auch besser, die geht viel mehr nach vorne 🫣
The desert was hot, the mountains were high
The water was deep, and yet I found you
I swore to you that you wouldn't escape me
You were born for me, I don't live in vain
I'm not a Rockefeller and I'm not a beau either
I can't be faithful either, I lie anyway
I swore to you that things would be different for you
You were born for me, you are my eternity
Because I love you, still and more
Because I need you, I need you so much
I long, I long for you
Trust me, stay with me
Take me in your arms, look into my face
Try to tell me "I don't love you"
You won't succeed, the price would be too high
You were born for me, you will never get rid of me
Because I love, still and more
Because I need you, I need you so much
I long, I long for you
Forgive me, stay with me
Because I love, still and more
Because I need you, I need you so much
I long, I long for you
Forgive me, stay with me
because I love you
"trust me"(vertrau mir) around the middle of the song is actually "forgive me" (verZEIH mir) 😊 just happened to see it but great translation 🎉
Similar, but better: Try "Willenlos (2023 Remaster)" by Westernhagen here on TH-cam. If you're wondering what he did to the person he's singing about here, that's the answer.
Please react to Westernhagens song "Dicke". 😊
countrymusic never came to my mind while listening to Müller-Westernhagen, interesting take on him
It's the hat...
@@Silber7 😀
Westernhagen his songs are German cultural heritage. Great artist . Great person
"Because I love you!"

Dear Dwayne, I love Your format! How do You see our first documentary series season?
Have you ever listened to his Song "Johnnie Walker"? It's also a love song ...to whisky! 😀
Westernhagen must not do much to convey the expression of the song. He is an excellent actor, starring in many successful movies esp. in the 80s.
I’m being honest: I don't like this version at all. MTV Unplugged can sometimes produce something amazing, but it can also ruin a song. I'm not a fan of this rendition. I much prefer the original studio version, even though it's not my usual taste in music.
You should check out Texas Lightning they are from Germany a diffrent band
My Mom was big fan of him. FunFact He left Germany a while ago and lives in England ..I guess
Yes, first England, then USA, then Germany for a while and nowadays South Africa.

ugghhhh dont know, these "u wont escape from me...u r born for me....ull never get rid of me" thing gives me weird stalker vibes, id runnnnnnnnn.
I love his voice. But to be honest, the text sounds very abusive to me. "Born for me" "never get rid of me" and let's not forget the forgive me for cheating on you. Dude you are talking about a woman with her own life and aspirations and not about a posession.
great german song also

Listen to Heros /Helden German Cover from David Bowie
Not the best version. It's too quiet and soft in my opinion. The studio version is far better...at least for me ☺️
MTV unplugged Versions are mostly very diffrent from the original version.
He lied and wasn't faithful to the others before her. Now he swore to her that it would be different with her. She doesn't believe him.
@dwin6005
& why she doesn`'t believe him? Because we know winning a cheater isn't a prize.
SIng your beautiful little lovesong & leave, honey.
Please react also Reinhard Mey & Friends Nein mein Söhne geb ich nicht. The best anti war song forever!
Listen to the version sung by Clueso, He Made the song better imo
Jennifer Rostock - Haarspray
Ach dat tut mal gut oder 😊
