The drama in the song as well as in the poem by Goethe is that the father kills his child out of fear, although he actually only wanted to protect him! He kills his child with his love, a very tragic subject.
YES!!! This is my favorite song of all time. The poem it is based on is also my favorite (Dominika may know it as it's taugh in schools in Poland - Król Olch by Goethe). Thanks for doing this!
I love "Stein um Stein" and "Puppe", "Seeman" (with its double/many meanings)as well. Very disturbing but the producing and Till's voice make them amazing songs.
I'm so happy that you finally reviewed this song!😁 I've been waiting so long for someone to do that, and it was you both that did it! ❤ This is an extraordinary song, one of my favourite trio - other ones being Wiesses Fleisch and Wiener Blut. All these three songs are very dark and have something special about how they sound, you should definitely see those missing two (Live Wacken 2013 is a MUST SEE) 😅 Whole lyrics is based on Goethe's poem "Erlkönig" (King of the Elves") which resolves quite similar... but Till of course made the darker turn than Goethe did! 😂 educatedmarine did a great job, original text is really hard to translate into English! In my opinion, this song not only deals with the fear of flight. In the first place it shows, that if we try to protect someone, we can sometimes hurt them. Have a nice evening! ❤
The song is not difficult to understand. Father and child board a plane. The child gets scared because he gets dark premonitions of his death. It is called by death and thinks it dies because the plane crashes. The plane gets into severe turbulence and everyone panics. The father wants to protect his child and holds it in his arms. But the panic makes him hold too hard and he squeezes the life out of the child. The tragic thing is that the child did not die in a plane crash, but by the father, who now has to live with it after they have landed safely. The brothers mentioned in the song are angels or spirits or death itself. He calls the child to him. This is the child's premonition.
Rammstein - Wiener Blut (live from Madison Square)! It is disturbing, dark song, I recommend it. Puppe (live 2019) is also wild song, and very disturbing, and it is their darkest song, I think.
"Puppe" yes, but not live. The first listening should be studio version, because there is no good quality live performance where you can hear the song and Till's voice properly. I agree that live version is amazing, but I'd really like them to listen to the studio version first and then they can also react to the live one.
How Till gets some of his ideas/lyrics: "Some of the Tills lyrics are inspired by classical German literature. Poet Johann Wolfgang von Goethe." Goethe's famous ballad Erlkönig, for ex. translated: Who rides so late through the night and the wind? It is the father with his child. He holds the boy safely in his arms; he holds him tight, he keeps him warm. The mood and rhythm of Goethe's poem are echoed in Rammstein's "Dalai Lama": An airplane lies in the evening wind On board is a man with a child They sit safely, sit warm And are lulled into falling asleep
This song is based on a poem by J.W.Goethe. In 1782, of course, there were still no airplanes. Here is the old original: Erlkönig - Johann Wolfgang von Goethe (english translation): ho's riding so late where winds blow wild It is the father grasping his child; He holds the boy embraced in his arm, He clasps him snugly, he keeps him warm. "My son, why cover your face in such fear?" "You see the elf-king, father? He's near! The king of the elves with crown and train!" "My son, the mist is on the plain." 'Sweet lad, o come and join me, do! Such pretty games I will play with you; On the shore gay flowers their color unfold, My mother has many garments of gold.' "My father, my father, and can you not hear The promise the elf-king breathes in my ear?" "Be calm, stay calm, my child, lie low: In withered leaves the night-winds blow." 'Will you, sweet lad, come along with me? My daughters shall care for you tenderly; In the night my daughters their revelry keep, They'll rock you and dance you and sing you to sleep.' "My father, my father, o can you not trace The elf-king's daughters in that gloomy place?" "My son, my son, I see it clear How grey the ancient willows appear." 'I love you, your comeliness charms me, my boy! And if you're not willing, my force I'll employ.' "Now father, now father, he's seizing my arm. Elf-king has done me a cruel harm." The father shudders, his ride is wild, In his arms he's holding the groaning child, Reaches the court with toil and dread. - The child he held in his arms was dead.
Hallo! Wir mussten solche Gedichte in der Schule noch auswendig lernen, auch der Zauberlehrling, die Glocke und die Schatzgräber im Weinberg usw. Ich habe es gehasst!
Erstmal gut beobachtet bzw. zugehört. Die Glocke war schlimm. Aber "der Erlkönig" ging unter die Haut. Genauso wie Fontanes "Brücke am Tay". Am Anfang der Dialog der drei Nornen - magisch.
Love this song 🖤 Love Rammstein 🖤 You still haven't heard the most disturbing songs, but you are getting close. 😉 "Dalai Lama" is a good start. I place it together with "Spieluhr" (by how much it is disturbing).
Enfin 😍 from time to time I have offered this title to you. By the way, together with the title "Spring", also with a very good video by a Rammstein fan...
Thanks again for another great reaction to Rammstein. Love you guys....so far the best reaction videos on UA-cam. Please also check from the Album Rosenrot the songs Spring and Hilf mir. Please keep it up !
Dobry wieczór, Bună seara! Rammstein did a great job by transferring a classic poem into modern times! And yes, to completely understand and appreciate a song or movie or poem, you have to learn the language, because it is impossible to transfer all aspects from one language into another. That's why I like to watch movies like "Airplane!" or Mel Brooks movies in english, you can't transfer all the gags in another language. Same with Rammstein, they often playing with words, using double meanings, creating new words or using old-fashioned words to create a special effect, all that is lost in the translation. In the song, the airplane is flying through a thunderstorm which frightens the father so much, that he accidentally kills his child when he was trying to protect it. In my opinion, the message is: if we have too much fear, we will destroy what we want to protect. And this can also be seen very political.... By the way, the album "Reise, Reise", which this song is from, has a flight recorder as cover art 😉
Isn’t it at when you are overprotective you can smother your own child? It is not mentioned if the plain crashed. The father killed his child out of fear….Very philosophical and a great variation of Goethe’s poem.
"Rammstein - Hallomann" In my opinion a song that gets far too little attention! As is well known, Rammstein often take up "uncomfortable" topics that others prefer to keep their hands off. But "Hallomann" is just devastating and tops it all off! Very, very heavy fare, but simply terrific!
In Goethe's poem, a ghostly apparition, the King of the Elves, whispers seductively to the child and seeks to abduct him into his realm. At the end of the ballad, the son dies in the arms of his father on horseback. In the song"Dalai Lama" the"King of the Winds" aims to claim the boy,who finally dies in his father's arms, held too tightly in anticipation of an airplane crash.
song is in name he said NO MAN SHOULD FLY IN THE SKY TO BE HIGHER THAN GOD! NO MAN SHOULD BE BUT LOW TO GROUND!! PEOPLE THAT FLY ARE MOCKING GOD AS IF HIGHER THAN HIM THUS IN GODS WRATH YOU WILL FALL IS THE POINT!!!
5:30 I am not sure what the "real" meaning is with this song (this is kind of common with Rammstein's songs imo, they can be interpreted in many ways). But whenever I daydream to this song I always tend to interpret it as a metaphor to life. Your parents brought you into the world (on the plane) and now you're stuck here until you die and there is nothing you can do about it just go straight for your death ("Weiter, weiter ins Verderben/further, further into doom").
One of my favorites!! You two are fantastic,love your reviews! Greetings from Michigan U S.A

Next time you're on a plane, take a deep breath, close your eyes and sing silently: komm her, bleib hier, wir sind gut zu dir. 🎶 I love your reactions. You not only love the sound but you are also interested in the lyrics and the interpretation. Thank you for letting me follow you on your Rammstein tour.
If we leave aside the classical origin and look only at the present, the child could still be alive if the father had not had a fear of flight. Or, the more you love someone and want to bind them to you, the more you suffocate them.
this song is awesome. the only fault : in an album where all the songs are great x) I can't wait for you to react on Puppe studio version which is a staple of rammstein, then the live version which has a staging that only rammstein knows how to do ^^ puppe is one of the most hypnotizing songs of the group, the voice of Till is particular, on this song, with a raw emotion, an acting I would even say, and the subject so dark. one of the band's most fascinating songs for me. Studio version with subtitle english : ua-cam.com/video/O3kCoYUDgP4/v-deo.html
Agree on every single word about "Puppe". It's one of my top 5 Rammstein songs. Can't wait to see their reaction to it and just hope they will react to the studio version first.
Theres an excellent orchestral animated version of the original poem the song is based on with English cc on here "Franz Schubert: Erlkönig" by user "OxfordLieder". Its a rather dark story but I love it
Hey guys, I really enjoy seeing your commitment to exploring all those Songs and getting the first impressions, even the ones without an official/live video. Love it!

I recognised the similarity, because we had to memorise and recite the whole poem by him (thanks polish education) 😂
@@Klemgs yeah, same :D
@@Black3142"Der Erlkönig" - ja, we had to learn that poem, too.
"Wer reitet so spät durch Nacht und Wind? Es ist der Vater mit seinem Kind."
Imagine a metal group basing a song on a poem by Goethe. That in itself is another level!
another song that demonstrates the incredible poetic and musical range of this band. thank you both.
Andrej saying that he wants to learn German and he likes our language makes me happy. :)
You should do Stein um Stein next. I am sure you will love that one! It's one of their more underrated songs
I love "Stein um Stein" and "Puppe", "Seeman" (with its double/many meanings)as well. Very disturbing but the producing and Till's voice make them amazing songs.
One of my favorite songs and totally underrated
The song is the Rammstein version of the Alder-king from Goethe.
It is a modern version of the the German poem "Der Erlkönig"
Every Day a New Rammstein Reaction. Im loving it
The song is called Damai Lama because it is known that he is afraid of flying.
I'm so happy that you finally reviewed this song!😁 I've been waiting so long for someone to do that, and it was you both that did it! ❤

I know the songs very long and very well ! I love you and your reactions ! Greatings and love from germany ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
love you guys, and I love RAMMSTEIN even more!!
Anybody know ??? WHY !!! Why Rammstein dont play this song in concert ??? Thats masterpiece !!!!
Der Song zeigt wieder einmal die vielseitigkeit von Rammstein.
The song shows once again the versatility of Rammstein.
I recently found you guys and I love your discussions. You don’t talk to much. You express your honest thoughts and that is great.
Thanks, great reaction👍
Again one of my favorite Rammstein songs😊
Great reaction! Thank you
Rammstein - Wiener Blut (live from Madison Square)! It is disturbing, dark song, I recommend it. Puppe (live 2019) is also wild song, and very disturbing, and it is their darkest song, I think.

My favorite by Rammstein. it's so eery and powerful

Erlkönig - Johann Wolfgang von Goethe (english translation):
ho's riding so late where winds blow wild

"My son, why cover your face in such fear?"

'Sweet lad, o come and join me, do!

'Will you, sweet lad, come along with me?
My daughters shall care for you tenderly;
In the night my daughters their revelry keep,
They'll rock you and dance you and sing you to sleep.'
"My father, my father, o can you not trace
The elf-king's daughters in that gloomy place?"
"My son, my son, I see it clear
How grey the ancient willows appear."
'I love you, your comeliness charms me, my boy!
And if you're not willing, my force I'll employ.'
"Now father, now father, he's seizing my arm.
Elf-king has done me a cruel harm."
The father shudders, his ride is wild,
In his arms he's holding the groaning child,
Reaches the court with toil and dread. -
The child he held in his arms was dead.
And Ramstein transformed it into the 21the century with planes.👍🏻

Love this song 🖤 Love Rammstein 🖤
You still haven't heard the most disturbing songs, but you are getting close. 😉 "Dalai Lama" is a good start. I place it together with "Spieluhr" (by how much it is disturbing).
Its my fav, Song Love your reaction !! Keep going :)
Bitte reagiert doch mal aus den Song -Spring- mit englischen Untertiteln. Er wird euch bestimmt gefallen 🤗
Enfin 😍
from time to time I have offered this title to you. By the way, together with the title "Spring", also with a very good video by a Rammstein fan...
hi, i love your reaction, have also a look to the song „spring“ … best regards from good old germany 🇩🇪🤘
That song has its fans.
Thanks again for another great reaction to Rammstein. Love you guys....so far the best reaction videos on UA-cam. Please also check from the Album Rosenrot the songs Spring and Hilf mir.
Please keep it up !
"Hilf mir" is so damn good song. Hope they will react to it one day although it's not very popular.
this is an adaptation of the Erlkönig - great reaction
Dobry wieczór, Bună seara!

Please react to rammstein weiner blut live. Its one of the most heavy, dark and creepy songs.
Of course, it's inspired by Goethe's "Erlkönig", on Wikipedia, you have the original with the translation:
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Erlk%C3%B6nig
Isn’t it at when you are overprotective you can smother your own child? It is not mentioned if the plain crashed. The father killed his child out of fear….Very philosophical and a great variation of Goethe’s poem.
💯
You should do a back to back of "Haifisch" official video and then the live version.
"Rammstein - Hallomann" In my opinion a song that gets far too little attention! As is well known, Rammstein often take up "uncomfortable" topics that others prefer to keep their hands off. But "Hallomann" is just devastating and tops it all off! Very, very heavy fare, but simply terrific!
good pick!!
I don't now? Have you listening the Song Amour from Rammstein?
Klavier!
The Dalai Lama had a fear of flying (aviophobia) 😉
👍❤
In Goethe's poem, a ghostly apparition, the King of the Elves, whispers seductively to the child and seeks to abduct him into his realm. At the end of the ballad, the son dies in the arms of his father on horseback.

no worries the danger really was a protective fathers in fear. not the airplane. :)
The reason this song is called "Dalai Lama" is because the actual Dalai Lama has fear of flying.
The tradgey of the dong is that the father asphyxiates his son while trying to protect him by holding the noy so tight he can't breathe.
Absolutely underrated goosebump song. Sad but good. Thx for reaction.
Watch the Next Video from Rammstein- Spring- it is so dark
Theres an excellent orchestral animated version of the original poem the song is based on with English cc on here "Franz Schubert: Erlkönig" by user "OxfordLieder". Its a rather dark story but I love it
It's clearly about a plane crash bro c'mon
Wieder ein kleines Meisterstück von Rammstein.
small note: the frames in the video are taken from the series Manifesto 🙂

Yay!! 🔥 I've been hoping you would react to this, as it's such a great song!
Nice that you react to the less 'popular' songs, this one is great as most of their songs :)
Amazing that not more people react to this song. Such a great song/story.
