As being german, i have to say: Rammstein isn´t just a band, this is real art to me - especially the newer songs are so well visualized and mostly disturbing. They mastered the concept, to suck you in, into a mysterious story and force you to think about the deepest questions in life. Yes, it may is shocking sometimes, but they use to nail the core of a song totally, while keeping space for different interpretations. Also, they never judge anyone, an opinion or a fact...they try to let the viewers build their own point of view and let them unravel all those different layers of meanings. It´s true art to me and is more like reading a book, because they urge me to watch a video several times, in order to extract at least the most deep meanings and thoughts out of the lyrics and visualizations. As people recommended earlier, "Zeit" is a great song to watch next, for the total confusion, there is "Deutschland" (Germany), which is even hard to get for Germans, tbh - both of those songs are a bit "shocking" as well. Nice reaction video, have a nice day everyone and happy easter in advance^^
@@sephi7ac I am not german tecnically but austrian, still Rammstein is something very much out of the ordinary. their art is something else and epic, to me at least.
As a fan of this band I'd recommend the official video of the song "Zeit" - very strong visualization - and the Official Band version of Mein Herz brennt.
You can see it from your face: how he captures you at first and makes you vulnerable, and then you can discover and fully appreciate him. It's fantastic
I love watching people discover Rammstein for the first time!!! Till Lindemann is one of the best frontmen ever. His voice is so distinct and his delivery is both measured, and packed full of emotion. The band themselves are all obnoxiously talented and their live shows are legendary as are their music videos. They put an absurd amount of thought and time into both. True performers all of them. Definitely check out the full band version of Mein Hertz Brennt! Other videos to peep: Deutschland Zeit Ich tu dir weh (live) Engel (live) Du Hast (live) Cheers!
It's always wonderful seeing new people discover Till and Rammstein. This is such an exquisite rendition. Yes, definitely watch the full band version. Some other suggestions: Du hast live in Paris, Engel live in Madison Square Garden, or maybe Mutter, also from Paris. Much love!
yes I echo the call for Du Hast in Paris as it contains the classic Rammstein image of Till Lindemann singing in a sea of flame. Also Dicke Titten for the sheer silliness of it
The piano version is way more unsettling than the version with the whole group. It's so German. Only they can tell a kids lullaby which will make you crap in your bed.
That's a heck of a first listen for Rammstein. I'd been familiar with the original album version of this song since it was released in 2001, but this stripped back piano version was quite the revelation when I started seeing it on reaction channels. They've been around since at least 1995, and they've never changed their lineup. They're known for having the best live shows in the world, with tons of fire, and their music videos in recent years are of cinematic quality. Absolutely anything from their 2022 album Zeit is worth watching, and some reactors have covered the entire album already.
I personally think this version works best when contrasted to the original one, but after that. After all Rammstein is most widely known for their "full" sound.
A fun fact just came to me. The full version of the song, well, parts of it, were used in the movie trailer for ‘Hellboy 2: The Golden Army’. Not the movie itself, but the trailer.
Till is a multi-talented individual. Former competitive swimmer, accomplished pyrotechnician, poetic genius and, of course, fantastic vocalist. I had the privilege of seeing Rammstein live in Tacoma some years back. I left almost in tears, the show blew me away. Among his other skills, he's a master showman.
@@ahuachapan2 Those charges where dropped for a lack of probable cause. I wish people would stop publicly declaring people guilty whenever there is an accusation of those sorts while the case is still open.
Rammstein is art on a perfectionist level. The band members, their music, their lyrics, their arrangements, their videos, their mixing & audio engineers, the lighting, the pyrotechnics, the flamethrowers, the stage & stageshow - everything is near to perfection.
The title of the song gives away the tone of the piece. My Heart Burns represents pure despair on the part of the character. In that context, the story he is telling and his facial paint and expressions make more sense. He has a job....to tell a story to put children to sleep. But he warns them that once asleep the nightmares will come, and this is the source of his despair. And with that in mind, the two times he gives that unsettling smile and how quickly that smile fades tell the real story. He wants to be comforting to the children, but he is devastated about what his story-telling brings in the form of nightmares. So the smile is half-hearted, and fades quickly into a look of utter sadness and despair. This is a brilliant piece of acting and story-telling, and Till's amazing voice and the haunting accompanying piano make it even more poignant.
Rammstein can rock for sure, but this performance is something different. It carries an air of the Bauhaus movement, along with the decadence of the cabaret culture in pre-war Berlin. Til is, at the very least, a theatrical performer, and this song always gives me chills. Great reaction, Bethany!
The part where you said he was looking into your soul and you could not look away. I met him last summer and this is what it really feels like to look at him in the eyes!!!! He gets a hold of our whole soul. Till lindemann is one hell of a man, writer, singer, heavy soul, big heart!!! ❤
@@xD-yc8hk it surely did. The accusations were dropped. The hype-driven girls on Insta didnt show up to the police. AND Shelby said he hadn't touched her
I discovered Rammstein about a year or so ago,at the tender age of 67 😮 I now own all their albums except for Herzeleid,which is on order now. I have been listening to them solidly,to the exclusion of all else,since then. I was not aware of the piano versions of Rammstein songs until now. This made me cry as it's so beautiful 😢 I now have another Rammstein cd to buy❤
Since 2019, they've been touring with a duo of pianists (Duo Jatekok), who do the first part of many of their concerts, as well as playing a piano version of Engel. I'd recommend checking that out, as well as the "Duo Jatekok plays Rammstein album" which have different piano versions of songs, some of which aren't included on the original piano Rammstein album. Rammstein also has two compilation albums : Made in Germany and Raritäten, if you don't own them yet
Glad Herzeleid is en route. The album is a solid first album and Seemann is such a good song Nina Hagen covered it with Apocalyptica, famous opera singers have even performed it. I can listen to that rolling bassline for hours.
@@nickaschenbecker9882 It's now part of the collection. I've got two Rammstein playlists on my iPod now. One with all the studio stuff and one with the live stuff.....all in order of release 🤟😎👍
I'm glad this video is your first exposure to Rammstein and the artistry of Til Lindemann. I only recently discovered Rammstein a month ago myself. Rammstein fans, don't judge me. My world consists mainly of classical, opera, jazz and blues, so I'm not familiar with any metal bands past the 80's. This video gave me goose bumps and had me in tears on first viewing, it is so stunning. Enjoy your Rammstein journey. My favorite songs so far are Sonne, Adieu, Engel, Ohne Dich and of course Mein Hertz Brennt. Any song that showcases Til's amazing voice.
I'm so with you on this one. I used to say I listen to all kind of music, except hard rock and metal. Then in 2019 I started to work as a teacher in German as a foreign language, and to help one of my students, who was a bit insecure, but liked Rammstein, I started to listen to them. One day my student asked me if I had listened to Deutschland. "It's so good" he said, and I listened and fell in love with the lyrics. 🖤❤️💛 Since then I listen to Rammstein every day, and I am a total fan. Even went to a live show last summer. It was amazing, and I am so thankful to my student who showed me the world of Rammstein. 🤩🔥🎶
Highly recommend going to a show. These guys put on arguably the BEST live performance of any group in modern concert history in the last 7 decades. Last time I saw them was Pledge of Allegiance tour in 2001. Got to meet the whole band too
True, I’ve seen them live a couple of times, the last one in 2019. Family, living about 5 miles further, could see the smoke and hear them (this last one an unusual thing because of the extreme heat the sound got reflected). When possible: go!
I'm so excited that you finally checked Rammstein. 🖤 This song, or better to say this version, is very untypical Rammstein song, but I'm glad you liked it and it made you want more, because Rammstein is, in my opinion, the best band in the world. They have so many, too many great songs, but I would recommend "Zeit" (with subtitles, which you can find on "educatedmarine" channel... actually, on that channel as well as on "bucksttabu" you can find all their videos, live performances and other songs with lyrics/subtitles). Of course, you can choose any of their songs, but I think it would be wiser to start with slower, softer songs. They can be very, very heavy, but they can also be gentle when needed and I tend to make people first listen to one or two of their softer songs and then introduce heavier stuff. I am really looking forward to see more Rammstein on your channel. 🖤
Wow wow wow 🎉I’m so happy you follow your patreons opinions & suggestions🙏🏻 and even more happy you loved Till’s unique vocals ;) “Du Hast” live from Paris is a must after this 🔥🔥🔥 cheers
Great reaction! If you interested in Till's vocal performance I would recommend "Zeit" from their latest album or the older "Frühling in Paris" or "Seemann".
For a "soft start," I would definitely recommend Official Video for "Ohne Dich". It's another sample of their poetic approach but in a light version (no creepy smiles, I promise) :) And you will be able to hear more nice vocals from Till Lindeman (and another beautiful performance from the band).
I love this band! The original studio version of this song, with the full band, is much heavier, and Till's vocals are more intense, but as someone said in another comment, this was a great place to start. Thanks, and cheers!
I have been expecting -after all- the hammer to fall, and the full Lindemann voice howling "mein merz brennt", with full guitars and drums as in the original, then she would lose her mind. What a beautiful song.
i never tire of watching this video. It's so scary, quiet, dark... notice that in the very first stanza "Mein Herz Brent" he lets out his first tears. It's shocking when he smiles and then suddenly undoes it. Fantastic.
I used to listen to them inside the leopart 2 tank back when i was still in militairy service in the Netherlands . This band gave me and my mates that extra feeling to do better .
The way you can hear the vocal control is amazing because he makes it seem like he's going to belt out some of his lyrics but keeps them short and soft
Great reaction video! You had the same reaction as me with that key change of the piano! I absolutely love this rendition of Mein Herz Brennt. It's beautifully chilling, haunting, and melancholic. Yet, at the same time it is very delicate, elegant and has that sense of sophistication that you mentioned. I remember the first time hearing this version, I just sat utterly speechless for several minutes as I tried to process what I had heard. This isn't just a piece of music, this is a work of art. Watching your reaction and hearing your thoughts was superb. Bravo!
I teach musical illustration to Digital Media majors and I always use this as an example of how in such an act of creation everything has to serve the Idea. There are no fillers here, nothing is extra, nothing is unnecessary and nothing is missing. From the tone of his voice, his articulation, the lyrics, the note choices, the piano part, the overall sound, the acting, the lighting, the set, the costume, the makeup, the cuts (which are real btw. Till wasn't happy with the makeup and asked for a blade... that's commitment I guess), the colors, all those are essential to one big narrative in a video where nothing happens, where the most remarkable thing is that creepy smile. Yet take away a single element, change one, or add anything to it and the whole thing is ruined!
Thanks for doing this... I kept waiting for the band to come in and then you mentioned it was the piano version which I have not heard before... this was magnificent!
Sometimes when he is performing live on the stage, he begins the song with growling and later he explodes in a quite clear tone in the chorus. Often his voice walks on thick carpet of full sounding guitars that are typical for Rammstein. The beast of a drummer and a strong bass support all ! And the funny keyboarder rounds it up with minimalistic tones. What a combination ! Love it ❤️❤️❤️
OMG, What a gorgeous. Till Lindemann is in another level to understand and express the story of thier songs, especially in this music the combination of piano playing is not only awesome!
As a fan for ages, I highly recommend the MSG Version of "Ich tu dir weh"! It displays the vocal abilities of Till and the theatrics of their live shows at a maximum level!
I am baffled this lady hasn't heard of Rammstein until now 😳 They are huge and have been around for the last 30 years .... How is it possible not to have heard of them ? 😳
There's nothing for scale but that man is an absolute unit. He is literally built for that sound and if you like their studio work you should definitely check out their live performances. I'd recommend Engle I think that's how you spell it. German for angel.
He has insanely clear diction. You can hear every letter in every word he says! Also - check out the video for "Deutschland". That's hollywood level production value!
Yep, Rammstein is more of a movement than it is just music. Till has an amazing voice that just can't be emulated and the entire band has a stage experience that brings every person who sees it closer to their themes. I'm an American who's been living in Germany for nearly 12 years now. I am lucky enough to have been able to concisely understand one of the world's most difficult languages (German). I listened to Rammstein before I understood more than a word of German and now that I have a deep understanding, I can say Till's vocal tones accompany the deeper meanings of Rammstein's lyrics in every way. If you go through their entire catalog, you will see they have a broad reach of themes usually presented in a shocking "in your face" way. Understanding what he's saying has little to do with the depth and reach of what's being conveyed. Rammstein is one of those bands you really can't ignore and Till is a vocalist that is a force rather than just a singer.
Das ist einfach nur große Kunst was Rammstein die letzten Jahre machen. Ich bin so geflashed wie wunderschön das hier interpretiert ist. Rammstein könnten in 10 Jahren als Goethe/Schiller unserer Zeit gelten.
Great reaction, a lot of vocal coach reaction videos either do Du Hast or Engel as their introduction so I am glad you did Mein Herz Brennt. I would recommend Ich Tu Dir Weh (Live from Madison Square Garden). It gives you a small taste of the spectacle that is their live shows and shows off a bit more of Till Linderman's range than most of this other popular songs.
A lot of brilliance comes with the lyrics and his choice of tone/cadence/accentuation of letters. The bedtime lullaby with monsters coming at night is played on really well in both storytelling and parts of the melody. Mein hertz brennt (my heart burns/aches) really hits with the aching in his voice.
Jumped straight into Rammstein with the piano version of Mein Herz Brennt. Bold! For sure, check out more of their music. Their more studio stuff and live. Lindemann is absolutely amazing!
Note: Their music videos are amazing works of art, and their live shows are top tier masterclasses of entertainment. I believe their singer, Till's, voice shines best in their live Madison Square Garden performance of "Ich Tu Der Wei." And yes, I can't agree more....that smile is haunting and memorizing at the same time. No. Pariel!
I am Germany too. Ramstein is definitely a thing in itself. Music, poetry and intelligent video staging in one form! Art on a new level. i love this band! Thank you for your contribution...❤ ❤❤
Vocalyst: thank you, thank you, for this wonderful, wonderful reaction - so informative, so enlightening. Rammstein, one of the most, if not the most - original, creative, deeply profound bands performing. Please continue with another Rammstein piece. I really look forward to (many) more of your reactions. Thank you!
I think of this song as a "gateway drug" -- it was mine, anyway, 20 years ago (first heard in a movie). Till is an absolute master of the vocal and visual spectacular -- welcome to our fandom!
Thank you to have choosen Rammstein, Till is a fantastic vocalist, and his personnality as actor is vers extended. He can be dramatic, brutal or like a clown. Very expressive face and body. I love so much this band. Your reactions are very touching, not only technical but also sensible. You seem to have an open spirit, some people critize without taking the time to understand this band. Their videos are really nice and can be funny. If you want to laught to can watch Dicke Titten, but I like a song which is Morgenstern. Mein Herz Brent is exceptionnal in its original version, and for lot of people it's their favourite of this incredible band, that offers to us so many emotions and beautiful music. Their line up is always the same, they have a strong complicity, and never deceive us. Thank you again.
Saw them live 4 times and they're AMAZING!!! Best show ever! Each and every time! They're just the best!!!! 💥💥💥🔥🔥🔥🧨🤘 I saw a lot of different performers (rock, pop, classic,... you name it, I saw it!) and Rammstein is just the best! Their show is a new level, something no one does! And if it's an open arena - be ready for a heat wave, it's hot wherever you're standing 🥵😂💥🔥❤🔥 And the crowd is the safest from them all! Everyone is so friendly and just celebrating to be a part of Rammstein family!
Lots of great songs from Rammstein. The full band song with the video is amazing too. But Du Hast (live in Paris), Engel (live in Madison Square garden) , Angst, Sonne, Zeit and many others are great too.
This song, this performance, has always brought me to tears. I feel pride hearing my favorite singer get such praise, my heart swells. Till is 100% a tortured soul artist. I identify with and love him.
Welcome to world of Rammstain! I hope you like fire. They have nothing like this video so be ready for something very different in your next destination. "Deutschland" is favorite of many reactionists, "Mutter", "Engel" or "Du hast" are all good destinations nest and not so populates as first is. That smile is good way to loose your sleep.
Thank you realdocloco...I agree with you. I work very hard each day. Having my headphones in while listening to Till and Rammstein inspires my being. I am a 60 year old lady janitor..love my job . Rammstein inspires !! The men keep my pace going. Plus my muscles strong. I look damn beautiful now.Thank You Rammstein. Take are, realdocloco
I love your videos, I've been watching them for hours. For the first time I am re-living these songs through someone else's experience. Congrats and keep it up!!!
"Klavier" and "Engel" are some old masterpieces of them, but "Mutter" also is amazing! From "Engel" there is a quite famous live version, but I prefer the studio version myself.
I'm so happy to see you dive into Rammstein! Though this isn't "typical" of their songs, it's still one of my favorites. I hope you find a lot more of their music to enjoy.
Zeit is another song with an amazing movie-like videoclip. Definetely check it. I don't remember ever seeing a videoclip with a quality similar to zeit. And also the visuals in their live performances are extraordinary, to say the least (Ich Tu Dir Weh Live from Madison Square Garden is a good example....). And it's not only the visuals. The contrast of his voice with the melody behind and the emotions in his voice are amazing. And even in their not so famous songs you can also find diamonds ('Amour" for example. A great song, full of emotion with a similar contrast of his deep voice and the melody behind).
Great reaction, thank you for that. You will think that I am a lyer or that I'm exaggerating but the truth is that Rammstein has at least 40 great and outstanding songs. Lyrics and themes are often difficult and dark and disturbing, but the music is just awesome and every single song is different and unique. Rammstein has created power songs and creepy songs and ballades and funny songs and mature and universal songs. Every one is a special experience. Besides the official video of the full instrumental version of "Mein Herz brennt" (which is a totally other piece of music) I would recommend "Zeit" (official video), "Du hast" (live Paris), "Klavier" (live Berlin), "Adieu" (official video), "Mutter" (live Paris), "Wollt Ihr das Bett in Flammen sehen" (live Paris), "Rammlied" (live Madison Square Garden), "Deutschland" (official video), "Ich will" (live Hurricane Festival 2016), "Du riechst so gut" (live Helfest 2016), "Ohne dich" (official video). And I could easily name 20 more great songs. It would be really exciting to see more Rammstein reaction from you. Best wishes from Germany.
Such a good reaction, not enough people, especially vocalists react to this. I have s feeling you are going to fall down the Rammstein rabbit hole now.... Can't wait
Think just what kind of existence the Sandman has. Forever moving. Never resting. Never able to have the dreams he gives to those he visits. Never able to just sit and talk. Beyond sad. Thank you for reacting this.
Hello from Germany! I would like to introduce you to a beautiful song by Till Lindemann, he sings it in French with the French singer Zaz. The song is called:" Le Jardin des Larmes "! It shows the range of Till Lindemann and I'm sure you will like it! I'm looking forward to your reaction! Greetings Nephilim
As a fan of Rammstein since the late 90's I always love seeing people discover them for the first time! If you do decided to watch more I recommend researching the English lyrics at the same time as it adds so much to the experience if you understand the context of the lyrics. Till is fantastic at projecting but it means so much more when you have the interpretations as you are listening
Wow, you choose a "difficult" song! Yes, have a look at the official MV as well. Due to the visuals it's a bit easier to understand. -- The song is about the nighttime fears and horror of kids growing up in a public children's home. It is autobiographic because it was the fate of two band members. At midnight the "voice out of the pillow" awakes and presses the tears out of the kids' eyelids. It collects them and finally injects them into its vein. At the same time black witches and other monsters arise from the cellar and creep under the kids' blankets. -- The - as you rightly said - "sophisticated" impression is due to fact that Till sings in so called "Bühnendeutsch" ("stage German", see Wikipedia). Hence the rolling "R" and the precise pronunciation of the consonants at the end of a word: in everyday German we say "is' ", but the "ideal" theatre form is "ist", the "T" being pronounced. -- The singer Till is also Rammstein's songwriter and (like his father) a professional poet. The lyrics of many songs are sung poems. Till often uses outdated words and parlance, in this song e.g. "liebe Kinder gebt fein acht" (outdated) = "liebe Kinder passt gut auf // hört gut zu" (modern, everyday German); "die Lider zu erpressen" ("erpressen" in this sense is unusual poetic parlance) = "die Lider auszudrücken". As a consequence many Rammstein lyrics are metaphorical and ambiguous and can be interpreted in several ways. A stark example is the lesser known, but very beautiful song "Nebel" (Fog). If you read "Nebel" from the end to the beginning you get "Leben" (Life) -- and this what the song is about: losing a beloved friend. -- I propose the live version of the also lesser known song "Rammlied" which is pretty funny and then the very touching song "Nebel".
welcome to the rabbithole of rammstein. it really doesnt matter what song you choose next. live or official video. all of them will blow your mind. and make sure you gets always the english lyrics because every song has a deeper meaning. greetings
Till not only has an exceptional voice, but he is also a fantastic performer, both vocally and as an actor.
Deutchland and Mein Teil were god tier.

Du hast is a classic, mein land is good too.
Du Hast is over reacted to and more about the crowd then the singer. Not a great choice.

Oh my god, I had never heard this version of the song before. IT. IS. HAUNTING!!! Till is so good.
The title of the song gives away the tone of the piece. My Heart Burns represents pure despair on the part of the character. In that context, the story he is telling and his facial paint and expressions make more sense. He has a job....to tell a story to put children to sleep. But he warns them that once asleep the nightmares will come, and this is the source of his despair. And with that in mind, the two times he gives that unsettling smile and how quickly that smile fades tell the real story. He wants to be comforting to the children, but he is devastated about what his story-telling brings in the form of nightmares. So the smile is half-hearted, and fades quickly into a look of utter sadness and despair. This is a brilliant piece of acting and story-telling, and Till's amazing voice and the haunting accompanying piano make it even more poignant.
I have been a fan since the early 90's. Seeing them live at the Honda Center was EPIC!

I discovered Rammstein about a year or so ago,at the tender age of 67 😮
I now own all their albums except for Herzeleid,which is on order now.
I have been listening to them solidly,to the exclusion of all else,since then.
I was not aware of the piano versions of Rammstein songs until now.
This made me cry as it's so beautiful 😢
I now have another Rammstein cd to buy❤
Since 2019, they've been touring with a duo of pianists (Duo Jatekok), who do the first part of many of their concerts, as well as playing a piano version of Engel. I'd recommend checking that out, as well as the "Duo Jatekok plays Rammstein album" which have different piano versions of songs, some of which aren't included on the original piano Rammstein album. Rammstein also has two compilation albums : Made in Germany and Raritäten, if you don't own them yet
So you are in perfect age for Rammstein. It was Till's 60th birthday this years. 😁
Glad Herzeleid is en route. The album is a solid first album and Seemann is such a good song Nina Hagen covered it with Apocalyptica, famous opera singers have even performed it. I can listen to that rolling bassline for hours.

It's now part of the collection.
I've got two Rammstein playlists on my iPod now.
One with all the studio stuff and one with the live stuff.....all in order of release 🤟😎👍
Very proud of the boys from my country..just a fantastic Band and music...Love them so much❤❤❤
I'm glad this video is your first exposure to Rammstein and the artistry of Til Lindemann. I only recently discovered Rammstein a month ago myself. Rammstein fans, don't judge me. My world consists mainly of classical, opera, jazz and blues, so I'm not familiar with any metal bands past the 80's. This video gave me goose bumps and had me in tears on first viewing, it is so stunning. Enjoy your Rammstein journey. My favorite songs so far are Sonne, Adieu, Engel, Ohne Dich and of course Mein Hertz Brennt. Any song that showcases Til's amazing voice.
I'm so with you on this one. I used to say I listen to all kind of music, except hard rock and metal. Then in 2019 I started to work as a teacher in German as a foreign language, and to help one of my students, who was a bit insecure, but liked Rammstein, I started to listen to them. One day my student asked me if I had listened to Deutschland. "It's so good" he said, and I listened and fell in love with the lyrics. 🖤❤️💛 Since then I listen to Rammstein every day, and I am a total fan. Even went to a live show last summer. It was amazing, and I am so thankful to my student who showed me the world of Rammstein. 🤩🔥🎶
Better late than never. We are glad to have you.
Highly recommend going to a show. These guys put on arguably the BEST live performance of any group in modern concert history in the last 7 decades. Last time I saw them was Pledge of Allegiance tour in 2001. Got to meet the whole band too
True, I’ve seen them live a couple of times, the last one in 2019. Family, living about 5 miles further, could see the smoke and hear them (this last one an unusual thing because of the extreme heat the sound got reflected). When possible: go!
I'm so excited that you finally checked Rammstein. 🖤 This song, or better to say this version, is very untypical Rammstein song, but I'm glad you liked it and it made you want more, because Rammstein is, in my opinion, the best band in the world.
They have so many, too many great songs, but I would recommend "Zeit" (with subtitles, which you can find on "educatedmarine" channel... actually, on that channel as well as on "bucksttabu" you can find all their videos, live performances and other songs with lyrics/subtitles). Of course, you can choose any of their songs, but I think it would be wiser to start with slower, softer songs. They can be very, very heavy, but they can also be gentle when needed and I tend to make people first listen to one or two of their softer songs and then introduce heavier stuff.
I am really looking forward to see more Rammstein on your channel. 🖤
Yes. I second Zeit. I cry every time I hear it.
Wow wow wow 🎉I’m so happy you follow your patreons opinions & suggestions🙏🏻 and even more happy you loved Till’s unique vocals ;) “Du Hast” live from Paris is a must after this 🔥🔥🔥 cheers
Great reaction! If you interested in Till's vocal performance I would recommend "Zeit" from their latest album or the older "Frühling in Paris" or "Seemann".
Great suggestions! +1
And after Seeman then do the Nina Hagen w/ Apocalyptica one
Frühling in Paris is such a beautiful song!
@@shirazzza I always thought Nina songs in that way, because she is from the East. The rolling R has nothing to do with Nazis.
For a "soft start," I would definitely recommend Official Video for "Ohne Dich". It's another sample of their poetic approach but in a light version (no creepy smiles, I promise) :) And you will be able to hear more nice vocals from Till Lindeman (and another beautiful performance from the band).
Yes! One of my all time favorites!
Thank you, I was going to say "Ohne Dich"!
It's more of a ballad, if you will, so I'd love to see/hear her reaction to that video.
I love this band! The original studio version of this song, with the full band, is much heavier, and Till's vocals are more intense, but as someone said in another comment, this was a great place to start. Thanks, and cheers!
I have been expecting -after all- the hammer to fall, and the full Lindemann voice howling "mein merz brennt", with full guitars and drums as in the original, then she would lose her mind. What a beautiful song.
Unbedingt das Video "Zeit"......Absolute Weltklasse!Liebe Grüße aus Deutschland ❤
Till is absurdly talented across all facets of being a performer
Rammstein is amazing. You need to see them live. The video for Deutchland is pure art and has so much packed into it
i never tire of watching this video.
It's so scary, quiet, dark... notice that in the very first stanza "Mein Herz Brent" he lets out his first tears.
It's shocking when he smiles and then suddenly undoes it. Fantastic.
I used to listen to them inside the leopart 2 tank back when i was still in militairy service in the Netherlands . This band gave me and my mates that extra feeling to do better .
The way you can hear the vocal control is amazing because he makes it seem like he's going to belt out some of his lyrics but keeps them short and soft
Great reaction video! You had the same reaction as me with that key change of the piano! I absolutely love this rendition of Mein Herz Brennt. It's beautifully chilling, haunting, and melancholic. Yet, at the same time it is very delicate, elegant and has that sense of sophistication that you mentioned. I remember the first time hearing this version, I just sat utterly speechless for several minutes as I tried to process what I had heard. This isn't just a piece of music, this is a work of art. Watching your reaction and hearing your thoughts was superb. Bravo!
one of the most fascinating interpretations of his own songs...love Til's voice
I teach musical illustration to Digital Media majors and I always use this as an example of how in such an act of creation everything has to serve the Idea. There are no fillers here, nothing is extra, nothing is unnecessary and nothing is missing.
From the tone of his voice, his articulation, the lyrics, the note choices, the piano part, the overall sound, the acting, the lighting, the set, the costume, the makeup, the cuts (which are real btw. Till wasn't happy with the makeup and asked for a blade... that's commitment I guess), the colors, all those are essential to one big narrative in a video where nothing happens, where the most remarkable thing is that creepy smile.
Yet take away a single element, change one, or add anything to it and the whole thing is ruined!
Thanks for doing this... I kept waiting for the band to come in and then you mentioned it was the piano version which I have not heard before... this was magnificent!
Sometimes when he is performing live on the stage, he begins the song with growling and later he explodes in a quite clear tone in the chorus.
Often his voice walks on thick carpet of full sounding guitars that are typical for Rammstein. The beast of a drummer and a strong bass support all ! And the funny keyboarder rounds it up with minimalistic tones.
What a combination !
Love it ❤️❤️❤️
OMG, What a gorgeous. Till Lindemann is in another level to understand and express the story of thier songs, especially in this music the combination of piano playing is not only awesome!
As a fan for ages, I highly recommend the MSG Version of "Ich tu dir weh"! It displays the vocal abilities of Till and the theatrics of their live shows at a maximum level!
that's one of my favourite songs of theirs!
I am baffled this lady hasn't heard of Rammstein until now 😳 They are huge and have been around for the last 30 years .... How is it possible not to have heard of them ? 😳
There's nothing for scale but that man is an absolute unit. He is literally built for that sound and if you like their studio work you should definitely check out their live performances. I'd recommend Engle I think that's how you spell it. German for angel.
Engel! :) Great song, hier kommt die Sonne is also great, or Ohne dich
Why Rammstein has been my favorite band for a long time. Till’s voice and the way he uses it, incredible.
Till is a legend as is Rammstein. This is such a masterpiece. Beautiful reaction, can't wait to see more from you!!
He has insanely clear diction. You can hear every letter in every word he says!
Also - check out the video for "Deutschland". That's hollywood level production value!
This song is hauntingly beautiful and the original music video to this is awesome. (exactly the same song but totally different).👍👍👍❤️❤️❤️
Rammstein and Til Lindemann in particular always leave a strong first impression, I've been a fan of them for decades, and it will remain so!
Yep, Rammstein is more of a movement than it is just music. Till has an amazing voice that just can't be emulated and the entire band has a stage experience that brings every person who sees it closer to their themes. I'm an American who's been living in Germany for nearly 12 years now. I am lucky enough to have been able to concisely understand one of the world's most difficult languages (German). I listened to Rammstein before I understood more than a word of German and now that I have a deep understanding, I can say Till's vocal tones accompany the deeper meanings of Rammstein's lyrics in every way. If you go through their entire catalog, you will see they have a broad reach of themes usually presented in a shocking "in your face" way. Understanding what he's saying has little to do with the depth and reach of what's being conveyed. Rammstein is one of those bands you really can't ignore and Till is a vocalist that is a force rather than just a singer.
Das ist einfach nur große Kunst was Rammstein die letzten Jahre machen. Ich bin so geflashed wie wunderschön das hier interpretiert ist. Rammstein könnten in 10 Jahren als Goethe/Schiller unserer Zeit gelten.
Welcome to the Rammstein rabbit hole
Great reaction, a lot of vocal coach reaction videos either do Du Hast or Engel as their introduction so I am glad you did Mein Herz Brennt. I would recommend Ich Tu Dir Weh (Live from Madison Square Garden). It gives you a small taste of the spectacle that is their live shows and shows off a bit more of Till Linderman's range than most of this other popular songs.
A lot of brilliance comes with the lyrics and his choice of tone/cadence/accentuation of letters. The bedtime lullaby with monsters coming at night is played on really well in both storytelling and parts of the melody. Mein hertz brennt (my heart burns/aches) really hits with the aching in his voice.
Jumped straight into Rammstein with the piano version of Mein Herz Brennt. Bold! For sure, check out more of their music. Their more studio stuff and live. Lindemann is absolutely amazing!
This IMO is a classic! I love this performance so much. He’s a serious talent.
Welcome to the club, and enjoy the ride! I was a drummer in a Rammstein tribute band for years. Never had more fun in my life
Note: Their music videos are amazing works of art, and their live shows are top tier masterclasses of entertainment.
I believe their singer, Till's, voice shines best in their live Madison Square Garden performance of "Ich Tu Der Wei."
And yes, I can't agree more....that smile is haunting and memorizing at the same time. No. Pariel!
I am Germany too. Ramstein is definitely a thing in itself. Music, poetry and intelligent video staging in one form! Art on a new level. i love this band! Thank you for your contribution...❤ ❤❤
You should react to their music video from the song Zeit! It's from their most recent album and it's a masterpiece
They're ALL masterpieces!
Perfection as usual, Till pulls you in.
Till is like a mad mad genius. Like Prince and Marilyn Manson. He is a brilliant storyteller and performer.
Vocalyst: thank you, thank you, for this wonderful, wonderful reaction - so informative, so enlightening.
Rammstein, one of the most, if not the most - original, creative, deeply profound bands performing. Please continue with another Rammstein piece.
I really look forward to (many) more of your reactions. Thank you!
I think of this song as a "gateway drug" -- it was mine, anyway, 20 years ago (first heard in a movie). Till is an absolute master of the vocal and visual spectacular -- welcome to our fandom!
And we all addicted to Rammstein. Once it's got you, you ain't gonna kick it. From the time i heard Ohne Dich, I was hooked
Brilliant reaction video.
Adieu is a beautiful song, can't recommend it enough. Also always LOVED Engel
Thank you to have choosen Rammstein, Till is a fantastic vocalist, and his personnality as actor is vers extended. He can be dramatic, brutal or like a clown. Very expressive face and body. I love so much this band. Your reactions are very touching, not only technical but also sensible. You seem to have an open spirit, some people critize without taking the time to understand this band. Their videos are really nice and can be funny. If you want to laught to can watch Dicke Titten, but I like a song which is Morgenstern. Mein Herz Brent is exceptionnal in its original version, and for lot of people it's their favourite of this incredible band, that offers to us so many emotions and beautiful music. Their line up is always the same, they have a strong complicity, and never deceive us. Thank you again.
You started with a very atypical Rammstein recording. Not necessarily a bad starting point though, and I enjoyed your analysis.
"Golly" omg that's so adorable. I'm glad there are still people like you around... so refreshing :)
This is less a music video than a masterpiece of performance art. Till is fantastic.
Saw them live 4 times and they're AMAZING!!! Best show ever! Each and every time! They're just the best!!!! 💥💥💥🔥🔥🔥🧨🤘 I saw a lot of different performers (rock, pop, classic,... you name it, I saw it!) and Rammstein is just the best! Their show is a new level, something no one does! And if it's an open arena - be ready for a heat wave, it's hot wherever you're standing 🥵😂💥🔥❤🔥 And the crowd is the safest from them all! Everyone is so friendly and just celebrating to be a part of Rammstein family!
Rammstein is not simply a band, they make art \m/
Rammstien is it’s own genre
Dieses Video ist für mich ein wahres Kunstwerk. Meine Hochachtung an alle die daran mitgewirkt haben!!!♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
Lots of great songs from Rammstein. The full band song with the video is amazing too. But Du Hast (live in Paris), Engel (live in Madison Square garden) , Angst, Sonne, Zeit and many others are great too.
This song, this performance, has always brought me to tears. I feel pride hearing my favorite singer get such praise, my heart swells. Till is 100% a tortured soul artist. I identify with and love him.
"Mutter" or "Ich tu dir weh" (live in Madison Square Garden) would be my suggestions to hear more from Tills gorgeous voice.
He is a great artist.
Welcome to world of Rammstain! I hope you like fire. They have nothing like this video so be ready for something very different in your next destination. "Deutschland" is favorite of many reactionists, "Mutter", "Engel" or "Du hast" are all good destinations nest and not so populates as first is. That smile is good way to loose your sleep.
that look on your face at the end is exactly what i feel with this song.
Absolut masterpiece.
I would add my voice to Zeit or Ohne Dich or even ich Tu dir weh
Thank you realdocloco...I agree with you. I work very hard each day. Having my headphones in while listening to Till and Rammstein inspires my being. I am a 60 year old lady janitor..love my job . Rammstein inspires !!
The men keep my pace going. Plus my muscles strong. I look damn beautiful now.Thank You Rammstein. Take are, realdocloco
Totally uncharacteristic song for Rammstein, but I love it at least as much as their other stuff.
I love your videos, I've been watching them for hours. For the first time I am re-living these songs through someone else's experience. Congrats and keep it up!!!
A tip. Zeit from the new Album. (With english subtiles). Wonderful reaction 🤘😊
you are an incredible Person ...
love u and your Vid's .
and T ill is going back in to the T ^^
"Klavier" and "Engel" are some old masterpieces of them, but "Mutter" also is amazing!
From "Engel" there is a quite famous live version, but I prefer the studio version myself.
I'm so happy to see you dive into Rammstein! Though this isn't "typical" of their songs, it's still one of my favorites. I hope you find a lot more of their music to enjoy.
Zeit is another song with an amazing movie-like videoclip. Definetely check it. I don't remember ever seeing a videoclip with a quality similar to zeit. And also the visuals in their live performances are extraordinary, to say the least (Ich Tu Dir Weh Live from Madison Square Garden is a good example....).
And it's not only the visuals. The contrast of his voice with the melody behind and the emotions in his voice are amazing. And even in their not so famous songs you can also find diamonds ('Amour" for example. A great song, full of emotion with a similar contrast of his deep voice and the melody behind).
Your vocabulary of adjectives to describe music is almost as impressive as the music itself... You help me describe my love for music!
Great reaction, thank you for that. You will think that I am a lyer or that I'm exaggerating but the truth is that Rammstein has at least 40 great and outstanding songs. Lyrics and themes are often difficult and dark and disturbing, but the music is just awesome and every single song is different and unique. Rammstein has created power songs and creepy songs and ballades and funny songs and mature and universal songs. Every one is a special experience. Besides the official video of the full instrumental version of "Mein Herz brennt" (which is a totally other piece of music) I would recommend "Zeit" (official video), "Du hast" (live Paris), "Klavier" (live Berlin), "Adieu" (official video), "Mutter" (live Paris), "Wollt Ihr das Bett in Flammen sehen" (live Paris), "Rammlied" (live Madison Square Garden), "Deutschland" (official video), "Ich will" (live Hurricane Festival 2016), "Du riechst so gut" (live Helfest 2016), "Ohne dich" (official video). And I could easily name 20 more great songs. It would be really exciting to see more Rammstein reaction from you. Best wishes from Germany.
Such a good reaction, not enough people, especially vocalists react to this. I have s feeling you are going to fall down the Rammstein rabbit hole now.... Can't wait
I recommend the official video to "Ohne Dich" as your next Rammstein experience.
Think just what kind of existence the Sandman has. Forever moving. Never resting. Never able to have the dreams he gives to those he visits. Never able to just sit and talk. Beyond sad.
Thank you for reacting this.
Hello from Germany! I would like to introduce you to a beautiful song by Till Lindemann, he sings it in French with the French singer Zaz. The song is called:" Le Jardin des Larmes "! It shows the range of Till Lindemann and I'm sure you will like it! I'm looking forward to your reaction! Greetings Nephilim
As a fan of Rammstein since the late 90's I always love seeing people discover them for the first time! If you do decided to watch more I recommend researching the English lyrics at the same time as it adds so much to the experience if you understand the context of the lyrics. Till is fantastic at projecting but it means so much more when you have the interpretations as you are listening
You might also enjoy from Rammstein, Ohne Dich, and Seemann.
Oh my gosh! I was so excited to see this video. Please give Klavier a listen. I get chills every time. So dark and so incredible.
Wow, you choose a "difficult" song! Yes, have a look at the official MV as well. Due to the visuals it's a bit easier to understand.
-- The song is about the nighttime fears and horror of kids growing up in a public children's home. It is autobiographic because it was the fate of two band members. At midnight the "voice out of the pillow" awakes and presses the tears out of the kids' eyelids. It collects them and finally injects them into its vein. At the same time black witches and other monsters arise from the cellar and creep under the kids' blankets.
-- The - as you rightly said - "sophisticated" impression is due to fact that Till sings in so called "Bühnendeutsch" ("stage German", see Wikipedia). Hence the rolling "R" and the precise pronunciation of the consonants at the end of a word: in everyday German we say "is' ", but the "ideal" theatre form is "ist", the "T" being pronounced.
-- The singer Till is also Rammstein's songwriter and (like his father) a professional poet. The lyrics of many songs are sung poems. Till often uses outdated words and parlance, in this song e.g. "liebe Kinder gebt fein acht" (outdated) = "liebe Kinder passt gut auf // hört gut zu" (modern, everyday German); "die Lider zu erpressen" ("erpressen" in this sense is unusual poetic parlance) = "die Lider auszudrücken". As a consequence many Rammstein lyrics are metaphorical and ambiguous and can be interpreted in several ways. A stark example is the lesser known, but very beautiful song "Nebel" (Fog). If you read "Nebel" from the end to the beginning you get "Leben" (Life) -- and this what the song is about: losing a beloved friend.
-- I propose the live version of the also lesser known song "Rammlied" which is pretty funny and then the very touching song "Nebel".
welcome to the rabbithole of rammstein. it really doesnt matter what song you choose next. live or official video. all of them will blow your mind. and make sure you gets always the english lyrics because every song has a deeper meaning.
greetings
React to Rammstein "Zeit" ( Time ) next! Till's vocals shine in so many songs, this song is a FINE example.
As a Rammstein fan i would say that you are gorgeous!!! 🙂I like the way you express your emotion!!! WOW!!! 🥰
