Beside the meaning of the lyrics that you've already got, there is an additional funny aspect for German native speakers. That's the heavy occurrence of "los" that has multiple meanings depending on the usage. As a syllable at the end of an adjective or adverb it means "less" (e.g. zeitlos => timeless), it can mean "go" (as a command), or in "Wir waren los" it means "we were unleashed". All those meanings are used in this song. I guess there is no other German text with so many occurrences of the word "los". And yes, the tune is catchy and the show was funny.
Love the, first laid back atmosphere and rising up to a full musicians session living up their passion. Lyrics are a fantastic way of flipping the bird to all the critics. What a cool way to use art.
I especially love this Song and also this Concert Performance! Simply great! 👍 (Great, ingenious Lyric that you can understand, which is not always the case with Rammstein Songs!) In this Song they sing about the development of Rammstein in a very honest, funny and self-reflective Way. The Lyrics are simply great, you have to come up with an idea like that first! In general, I think "Völkerball" in Nimes is a fantastic Concert in terms of Location and Atmosphere! (But I also love the Concert at MSG) [Verse 1] We were nameless And without songs We were never again Really wordless Still we are A little songless Yet we're not toneless You can hear us After a gust of wind Began a storm Simply matchless It was time -less [Verse 2] They were speechless So totally shocked And totally powerless What happened Somewhat composureless And surely Understandingless That will be censored They said groundless Too bad about the music So shameless That should be forbidden It's witless What they're trying there So tasteless How they're making music Is it hopeless Senseless Helpless They are godless [Verse 3] We were nameless We have a name We were wordless The words came Still we are A little songless Yet we're not toneless You do hear it We aren't flawless Just a bit anchorless You will become soundless You'll never get rid of us [Verse 1] We were nameless And without songs We were never again Really wordless Still we are A little songless Yet we're not toneless You can hear us After a gust of wind Began a storm Simply matchless It was time -less [Outro] We were "-less" We were "-less"
Till started out playing Drums for a local band and also he plays the Piano, but this is the only time I ever seen him playing the Harmonica and don't know if he played it since as I love to see 'LOS' back on the live set
Magnificent song and unusual style for Rammstein....this throbbing rhythm reminds me of a mixture of "suzy q" and "Run through the jungle" long version with harmonica from the group "creedence clearwater revival" For me, it's clearly a musical tribute to this group...and it's adapted with a lot of talent and respect like for example "stripped" from "depeche mode"
This live video shows you why “Flake” is so popular with fans.... a completely crazy professor 🤣🤣🤣 Rammstein's song "Los" is a powerful declaration of the band's journey from obscurity to prominence. The lyrics reflect a narrative of transformation, starting with the band being "namenlos" (nameless) and "wortlos" (wordless), indicating a time when they were unknown and without a voice. However, this state of anonymity and silence is temporary. The song describes a shift, a "windstoß" (gust of wind) that turns into a "sturm" (storm), symbolizing the band's explosive rise to fame and the impact they have made on the music scene. The song also addresses the reactions of others to their success. Words like "sprachlos" (speechless), "fassungslos" (stunned), and "ratlos" (perplexed) capture the shock and confusion of those who witnessed Rammstein's sudden ascent. The lyrics suggest that their music was initially met with resistance and censorship, described as "geschmacklos" (tasteless) and "geistlos" (mindless). This criticism, however, does not deter the band. Instead, it fuels their determination to continue making their mark, regardless of the naysayers. In the final verses, Rammstein asserts their enduring presence. They acknowledge that they are not "fehlerlos" (flawless) but emphasize that they are "nicht klanglos" (not without sound). The repetition of "wir waren los" (we were loose/free) underscores their liberation from the constraints of anonymity and silence. The song is a testament to their resilience and the undeniable force of their music, which, despite criticism and attempts at censorship, remains loud and influential. The defiant tone of the song encapsulates Rammstein's journey and their unwavering commitment to their art.
@@annegretkasten6277 oh, so agree with you..and his father was a poet and Till certainly has the poetic genes as well, think its several books of his poetry been published now and think it would be more but some 'spineless' publisher pulled out of the deal due to last years BS
The Völkerball concert is one of their best performances, in my opinion 😊 Vintage Rammstein at their finest 🖤
aaah, at last, one of my all time fav's ..cheers Rick
Cheers
Mine too

@@ReadingOne Haha... true !

[Verse 1]
We were nameless
And without songs
We were never again
Really wordless
Still we are
A little songless
Yet we're not toneless
You can hear us
After a gust of wind
Began a storm
Simply matchless
It was time
-less
[Verse 2]
They were speechless
So totally shocked
And totally powerless
What happened
Somewhat composureless
And surely
Understandingless
That will be censored
They said groundless
Too bad about the music
So shameless
That should be forbidden
It's witless
What they're trying there
So tasteless
How they're making music
Is it hopeless
Senseless
Helpless
They are godless
[Verse 3]
We were nameless
We have a name
We were wordless
The words came
Still we are
A little songless
Yet we're not toneless
You do hear it
We aren't flawless
Just a bit anchorless
You will become soundless
You'll never get rid of us
[Verse 1]
We were nameless
And without songs
We were never again
Really wordless
Still we are
A little songless
Yet we're not toneless
You can hear us
After a gust of wind
Began a storm
Simply matchless
It was time
-less
[Outro]
We were "-less"
We were "-less"
I need a head banging emoji for this song.
They know how to put on a show without pyrotechnics )
Wow this one I never heard Till on the harmonica uffff😅👍🤘
Great tune.
Till started out playing Drums for a local band and also he plays the Piano, but this is the only time I ever seen him playing the Harmonica and don't know if he played it since as I love to see 'LOS' back on the live set
@@jezza117You're right, I think he can play most of the instruments. But he is the singer and lyricist.
Till can play a few things. He actually started as a drummer.
Magnificent song and unusual style for Rammstein....this throbbing rhythm reminds me of a mixture of "suzy q" and "Run through the jungle" long version with harmonica from the group "creedence clearwater revival"

🤣😂🤣😂🤣Flake🤣😂🤣😂 he is so damn good that doctor
funny song about the prejudices against Rammstein and their music. Love the song.
A lot of fan uploads have been taken down, including those with english subs. It's a shame.
is it true?, they have taken down 'Bucksttabú'? if so, not surprised as Universal are turned into a bunch of A holes
❤❤❤
Lyrics are amazing …btw camera guy knows What is he doing 😂
yup, my kinda of camera guy lol
Sure does along with the editor.

well said
@@jezza117Above all, it is an example of how Till can handle the German language. That is actually unique.
