As always, you don't disappoint with your reactions! I love how you dissect songs, it's so interesting to someone who doesn't have a lot of experience in songwriting.
Seeing a new notification from you reacting to a Rammstein song makes me jump a little in happiness each time, not gonna lie. :)
Rammstein is just one big unit. They work together so well - and amazing songs and performances are what we fans get out of it. ^^
Seemann indeed is about loss, at least from what I have heard and thought myself. Isn't it amazing how they manage to convey meaning even when you don't understand the lyrics?
I'm already looking forward to every last one of your upcoming Rammstein reactions!
FEELIN' YOU Sezuisa!!! I appreciate the kind and encouraging words, they let me know that I'm doing something right. Thank you so much.
@@THEDavidHeretic No problem! The way I see it, if someone is producing great content, you should let them know they're doing amazing work :)
Rammstein ballads are special songs. Very deep and sensual, very interesting musically. Seemann, Ohne Dich, Nebel, Amour (my favorite Ramm song ever!), Frühling in Paris, Klavier, Roter Sand, Wilder Wein
- just beautiful...
Amour is great song! like the other yoy mentioned as well:)
@@ukriroutalempi5124 Ohne Dich, Fruhling in Paris and Roter Sand just gut punch me every time, but I love them so much. As with the others of course, but recently I have been feeling the need to go back and almost start over. I think partly because I don't speak German, but in the 20+ years I have been following Rammstein the resources available to translate and interpret music, learn the lyrics and meaning and cultural context etc. And obviously in 20+ years I have obviously been through a lot, and I am now at roughly the age that Rammstein were when they suddenly seemed to explode in popularity, around the time of Mutter being released I think, what was that, 2000? 2001? (It's 5am and I haven't slept yet, brain don't work good). I don't know, I just want to go back and sort of relearn everything. Seeing other people discover these amazing tracks for the first time, idk.
TLDR: Late night ramblings of an insomniac
Exactly
Feuer und Wasser, Wo Bist Du, Ein Lied
No Till, you can't sing in EVERY octave!
Till: Hold my schnapps
One thing I have always enjoyed about Rammstein there are a ton of layers to their songs. I can listen to the same song 10 time and find something new every time
I will say it until the day i die. Prettiest metal song ever made
This and the Walknut stuff
Here are the english lyrics, from herzie.com
"Come in my boat
a storm is rising
and it is becoming night
Where do you want to go
so completely alone
you are drifting away
Who will hold your hand
when it pulls
you under
Where do you want to go
so boundless
the cold sea
Come in my boat
the autumn wind holds
the sails taut
Now you are standing by the lantern
with tears in your face
the daylight falls on the side
the autumn wind sweeps the streets clear
Now you are standing by the lantern
you have tears in your face
the evening light chases away the shadows
time stands still and it becomes autumn
Come in my boat
longing will be
the helmsman
Come in my boat
the best seaman
was I
Now you are standing by the lantern
you have tears in your face
you take the fire from the candle
time stands still and it becomes autumn
They only spoke of your mother
only the night is so merciless
at the end I am left alone
time stands still
and I am cold"
as a german i can say that the meaning of the sentences got accuratley translated, even tho some words got added and/or changed their position.
its amazing how much you got without knowing the language. this is one of the best rammstein reactions so far. I am german and you man are great with this shit. subbed
FEELIN' YOU CMDR!!!
Till s voice everytime shiver All over my body
Rammstein bassist Oliver Riedel celebrates his birthday today, 11 April. He turns 52 years old. The most modest, patient and, perhaps, a closed member of the German team. The song "Seemann" is one of his most memorable works in the band.
Seeman is one of my favorite Rammstein songs! The bass playing is amazing!
I knew you'd like this song it's an awesome song. Bass line is amazing and his vocals tug on them strings. My favorite song of all time
Great review - you nailed it with your musical understanding. If it comes to lyrics - even for a native german speaker it is difficult to interpret the song. Generally, it is a sad song about someone, who offers his "boat" to protect someone in the boarderless sea - a beloved one . I think, it is about a father, who is losing his daughter "to the world" - suffering, experiencing the hard live on her one - while he, in the past, her youth, was the harbor for her, the seaman in the sea of her youthful life. What many commentators miss is the reference to Marlene Dietrich - Lili Marleen - "under the lantarn". It is clearly there. It has the same sadness-factor musically and refers to a woman, suffering for love.
epic link up with lili marleen, never rlly recognized it ! awesome ! thx for that :)
even if i know the "lili marleen" also well, but i never recognized it :D
I love this song since I've heard it the first time 26 years ago (how the h can this be so long ago?). The whole first album is still my favorite.
next on the list: Dalai Lama. A fantastic interpretation of the Erlkönig / Erlking. Rammstein picking up Goethe, one of the two greatest german poets ever, giving it a chilling but also epic feeling.
keep it up dude, great videos and reactions!
Already in the que, added your name to the requesters.
Really like your reactions. They seem really genuine, which I very much appreciate. You also take the time to go in-depth and you have the knowledge to respond with substance. Keep it up! Greetings from Europe :)
FEELIN' YOU Square!!! Thank you for the kind words I really appreciate them.
Another brilliant rammstein reaction, this is one of my favourite's great to see you enjoy this, thanks, great Chanel
FEELIN' YOU Stephen!!!
This is the best song of their first album in my opinion. Even after their second one this one's the best for me. There are many many comments about the song's meaning and links to the lyrics, so I won't do this for this one.. It means really much to me.
It's quite funny that you say you don't know what they say, so you've got much room for interpretation. It is the same when you know German. The lyrics are sometimes even for Native Germans hard to interpret right. Especially since the band barely speaks about them. This is probably on of the reasons I love them so much: The music sounds great and the lyrics go into a certain direction, but can mean something totally different to each person. This is the case with many songs by other artists also, but Rammstein somehow made each of their songs very unique in the musical and the lyrical way. Only artist I like every song by.
Ah, before I forget: Translating the title really shouldn't "spoil" your reaction. You could do not song in English then ^^ I'd even like you looking up the background, but if there are so many who don't like this, it's totally fine for me.
If you are interested for you own "reading pleasure at your leisure" this website has some nice background story, performance and music video descriptions and translated lyrics: rammstein.fandom.com/wiki/Seemann
There still are some rather bad translations, but it really isn't easy to translate Rammstein, since they play with and on words and use German idioms. The lyrical meaning cannot be translated.
Have an awesome weekend!
Ollie sometimes just adding his thing with the crew. Whenever he gets to shine, he showcases it in the band.
Another fun reaction.
great reaction, as usual, love your analysis^^ the bassist spotlight!! the driving force of bass in Rammstein songs shouldn't be underestimated, and if i remember correctly, the melody of this song was Oliver's personal idea, and it works so well, despite being the sonic outlier from the rest of their songs from the first album)) (the atmospheric ballad from the band specifically set out to play very dark monotonous electronic tunes? in concept sounds weird, but it turned out to be one of their fan-favourites!!) i would suggest, not for the reaction, but for your personal enjoyment to check out their early performances of this, say, from 1996, and compare how Till's voice had changed and evolved^^
"Keyboard F*cker" is the title of one of the two biographies their keyboard player wrote xD
You should see if they're available in English, they're really entertaining. And "Are you ready?" ... "Dolphin noices" is hilarious :D
I knew you would love this song) Nice reaction!
This song is epic! 🤞🏻❤️
David react to Seemann cover of Apocalyptica feat. Nina Hagen. :D
Yes
I'll need a link so I watch the correct video
th-cam.com/video/v-YzdvmD2aQ/w-d-xo.html ecco. 😁 Sorry
yup, time for nina hagen, you need to read her bio though, old grand dame of German punk
That would be awesome. Nina Hagen is so special.
Love this song
Always a great reaction ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Yes, that was a great reaction and analysis 💪🏼
hi, the song is about going away but never arriving ... best regards from germany 😎🤟🏼🇩🇪
Flake used to be passed around in the audience on a zodiac, they did it here in Norway. And i got to be one of the the Audience that passed him 😍
Hi here from Italy David!great reaction 👍if you want to see the bass player Oliver Riedel shining more,I suggest you another 'ballad'...Diamant live,from the Europe tour 2019...Anyway,you have yo react more exbihitions from the last tour...they put on a real show...😊🤟🇮🇹
Great choice
I'll need a link so I watch the correct video
@@THEDavidHeretic Here is one link for Diamant th-cam.com/video/WsdRXC_MBrM/w-d-xo.html
Added to the que
great to see that you liked the song so much. also i totally enjoy it when you look up the meaning of the songs, it's pretty funny to see. if you want to know before hand what the song is about just do it. let the others complain all they want.
Good job giving everyone credit, especially the bass player!!!
Well I 'm a bassist myself...so of course I'll give props to every bassist as often as I can. We gotta stick together.
I absolutely love this song! It's so good....
Seemann is one of my favorites songs of them. Onhe Dich, is another one. Hugs from México.
I tried playing this on bass, and i can tell that Oliver Riedel is a big dude. My hands are not big enough lol
Yea he's like 6'7 lol
Lots of people have different ideas of what the songs means, but to me the songs is about loneliness, and the unfortunate reality of the life of loneliness, and the name (Seemann) meaning sailor hints to this, with sailors having a pretty lonely life, either that or I believe this song is about someone going away and not coming back, and you have to deal with the reality you’ll never see them again… this song is helping me through rough times, but it was the first rammstein song I heard that I liked, it’s my favorite song by them,
If you like these ballad like songs from Rammstein, i recommend Klavier (Piano), Wilder Wein (wild wine) and Roter Sand (red sand)
i love the rammstein reactions, such a awesome band
There's a very nice cover version of this by German Punk Legend Nina Hagen and Finland's cello metal band Apocalyptica
Already in the que, added your name to the requesters
A good day sometimes starts with rammstein..😎🤘🏻
Great Reaction Guy
do your thing
Oh I'm so happy that you liked it :D.
As for the meaning of the song - you were pretty close. It's about regret, despair, maybe loss of a loved one. In the music video the band is pushing a boat in the sand. according to the official making of, they are "tugging away love" but no matter how hard they try, it wouldn't move. As it is with many Rammstein songs, you can intrepret it in many different ways :).
The song is about loneliness and hopelessness and a unanswered love between fallen people... Its the metaphor about a restless and lonely seaman and his love to a loose lady...
You make good analysis!
I'm a guitar player but whenever I have the chance to play a bass I always play this song. : )
Speaking of guitars, you didn't say anything about the fact that the guitar players are playing 16 notes (I think that's what's called), which is hard to play for a long time like they do in this song.
THANK YOU!!!! Yes! Incredibly hard to keep the rhythm playing 16th notes in this way. If you stuff it up, it's so noticeable.
They are some key parts in the lyrics. These give some clues about the possible meaning. There are parts about lonliness, and hints about leaving a person. "So very alone, you drift away
| Who will hold your hand | When it pulls you under?
Them about sex: Get in my boat | Longing becomes the helmsman.
About the gone: Get in my boat
Yet I was The best sailor (I sailed the best / one you / with you? Meaning of sex)
And again about leaving or a deathwish to the sailor /seaman - With tears running down your face
| You take fire from the candle. In Germany there is a supersition about taking fire for a cigarette from a candle -> eyerytime when a person did so a seaman dies. If she know the sailor, so she possible have the wish that he dies.
The only part that ist not clear to me is the part about the mother - I have almost no clue what he could mean. | They only spoke of your mother | What happens with the mother and who are they?
this reminded me the gig i was back in 2016 in são paulo
3:05 that's actually the title of their keyboardist's autobiography
You ask, we deliver!
Thank you for your opinon regarding to that beautiful piece of music, really enjoyed it. I assume that you are already somewhat familiar with the earlier work from the Scorpions and would really like to hear what you think about it. Sails of Charon would be a good one to start with. Greetings Form Germany.
I have some experience with The Scorpions, at least with their bigger hits. I'll need a link so I watch the correct video
I'm very impressed!!! You dosn't understand the lyrics but you understand the Song! Not many german speaking People understand the Song but the lyrics. 😉 Did you hear the Song "Stirb nicht vor mir/don't die before i do"? Or "Bang Bang" => for me, thats a wounderful Song about a broken heart.
Well I'll recomend Bass songs "Diamant" and also "Morgenstern" that have a LITTLE Bass solo, good video sir.
The song is about someone who is grieving over his partner who probably died of cancer.
The line "They only spoke of your mother" suggests that the mother has also died of (hereditary) cancer.
I am very pleased with your review of the song/performance.
I don't know where the subtext of cancer comes in. Grief and loss; yes, but cancer...reaching at straws for me.
@@mikellanas1207 Totally agree. I know the theme cancer from their song "Nebel" and from Till's side project Lindemann "Home sweet home". My interpretation is about a divorce or a split, because of the line "Jetzt stehst Du da an der Laderne, has Tränen im Gesicht " (Now you stand at the lantern with tears in your eyes). But as I always say, the band leaves it up to us, to think about it and make up our own opinions. There is noe right or wrong, and that is what I love about Rammstein.
@@andreagruber5813 Given Rammstein's context and general lyrical content I see the lantern like one who see in a red light district. So the narration is that of prostitution; much like that of the context of the official music video.
@@mikellanas1207 That is also true. I still belive it has also to do with what I just mentioned. That is, why everybody sees something else in it. I think it sometimes has also to do in which mood you are by yourself. It is definately a sad melancholic song, the rest is up to yourself. ;-)
@@andreagruber5813 You know the saying that when someone lights a cigarette on a candle, that a sailor dies? This comes from the time when sailors on land earned extra money by making matches. Till makes an allusion here when he sings, "The fire you take from the candle, the time stands still and it becomes night." On the one hand, this speaks to the issue of smoking, and on the other hand, this is associated with death. With the video, as so often, a false trail is laid. It should also be noted that in the early days of the band, she had little say in the videos.
If you like this one, check out the cover by Apocalyptica ft Nina Hagen. I actually prefer the cover over the original one. And the song is about death/loss of a loved one.
Good reaction :) now a sugestion again,, well i will not ad a rammstein song because all are great and you cant go wrong there!, but here somthing that i think you will like a bass player in a nice band🤫.. So this is a cover/tribute of High hopes by Nightwish.. Will drop the link in next comment
Instant Joakim Broden Vibes at around 5:00🤘🤘

Hopefully that link works for you. It's from the same album but totally different vibes and taking it back to a 90's show. Great energy and it's a jam. Lyrics are a little gross but eh it's Rammstein. :)
Your videos are fantastic and I love what you're doing. 👍🏼

not the live version but the official video 😉

th-cam.com/video/Dv6Th7kJ64Q/w-d-xo.html I mean, you have reacted to the live version, I dont know if it makes much sense to react to the official video. Soundquality is much better, the visuals are awesome...so you may want to watch it by your own
Why don't you ready the Lyrics 😢
I'm not a lyrics guy. I don't interpret lyrics, they go right over my head. So rather than waste my time trying to grasp the lyrics which I'm not good at, I focus my energies on what I am good at which is focusing on the instrumentation and songwriting. Therefore I play to my strengths, instead of my weaknesses.
Seemann, Nina Hagen
Till's texts cannot be translated just like that. Always double meaning, always poetic, always with play around words, always "weird". My mother tongue is German and I don't dare to say what this song really means now. Sailor, it sure isn't. It is more about a failed relationship with a thirst for revenge...... MAYBE
yoi can find traduction on rammsteinworld 😉
Hey 😀
Please comment on the videos "Zeit" und "Angst".
Thanks
