I concur! There is a version with English subtitles which would be really good.I think there is one from "Educated Marine" here on YT The same with "Angst", the second masterpiece of this album.
This song is actually about the band sticking together after almost breaking up. It is about friendship, helping out each other. Bringing a friend to the summit, even it is the last thing. But of course Rammstein lyrics are open and complex and can be transferred to whatever the listener wants to.
@@jacobpaulson23 The break up issue was after "Mutter" in 2002. "Ohne Dich" came out in 2004 - "Haifisch" in 2010. Also there is a hint at the beginning of the "Ohne Dich" video: We see Till alone at the creek, the band in the back looking at him. Then one band member is tapping his shoulder encouraging him to (re)join the gang ...
@andreasbinner3657 Oh I know what it was, I assume I just always thought Ohne Dich was a love song because of the lyrics, and that Haifisch actually dealt with the incident because of its lyrics!
Absolutely true. The meaning of the song deepened after that I lost several persons close to me i a short time frame. I feel that all art are more or less always open to interpretation. But it's a great song and probably my favorite of all of Rammsteins songs nowadays due to my experiences.
In the video when he falls and hurts his leg they all know he's not going to make it home alive but they all help their friend to achieve their goal together before he passes away. So it's sad but triumphant.
Precisely. When he's lying injured in the tent he's still staring at the mountain. So instead of taking him downhill and seek help, they take him to the mountain top.
Based on the fact that he wouldn't move even an inch more no matter the case, even when lying down, one can quite safely assume his hurt his spine and not his leg, ending in tetraplegic. More than the symbolic of an obstacle to overcome, it's the impossibility to go further and the friends being the (only) solution, even though indeed all knew how it would end
I cried a little... I know your pain my dude, my dad passed away 6 going on 7 years ago... the pain never goes away, but it hurts a little less with each passing year...
It's indicative that, after his fall, they camp next to a memorial cairn, where tin plates, engraved with the names of the dead are placed. While they tend him, they are tapping out his memorial plate.
"No, no, no. Is he alive?" You just gave yourself the answer. Three times. But he lived to see the top of the mountain with the help of his friends. And that's what matters. The only thing that does.
This song is a masterpiece, almost like everything Rammstein does, including their musical videos which are basically movies and also their live performances which include the best show in the whole world (and a LOT of fire), a song about they cant be without each other, because each member is special to the band ❤
This song has hit so hard for me. It's hard to type with tears and a runny nose...even though it's been almost 2 years since I lost my bestest friend, not a day goes by that I don't think of him knowing I'll never see him again. It's soul crushing. This song is a perfect reflection of how I feel...
It’s been 33yrs since I lost my beloved and this song gets me every time I hear it…along with many others. In my experience that feeling never goes away it just fades a in to the background a bit, stay strong 💪🏼
From JBrach: @KattMurr It sounds like you're letting yourself feel your grief in an incredibly healthy way by letting the tears flow. 2 years is a long time yet a short time to process grief and I can imagine that the waves of those emotions have ebbed and flowed during that time. My experience with grief has been that some days I don't think about it and others it hits me like a brick. Tomorrow is my mom's birthday, who I lost 3 years ago, and it's a brickier one of those times. I hear you on that soul crushing-ness of grief. I feels like there is no one who can ever be like them or have the same kind of love you shared ever again. It feels like you're in the middle of a downpour and the water just won't stop. It feels like you're in the middle of a black hole just drifting into oblivion. I'm with you my friend. As you are in this pain I am here to tell you you are not alone! The days are dark but there is always light ahead, as cliche as it sounds, there is always more love to experience in the middle of and on the other side of our darkest valleys. You can live your life in honor of the one you lost and keep them at the forefront of what you do and who you choose to be. I am with you in this pain and I will be keeping you in my prayers! <3
From PenArt: @KattMurr *I’m so terribly sorry for your loss. Losing someone so close and so important is like having a piece of your heart broken off and you feel that missing part ache and hurt when you think about them, and then the tears can’t stop and suddenly you’re drowning and suffocating. All air seems lost and breathing seems impossible. Loss is so confining and causes such a lonely misery. I wish I could help you glue your heart back together. Or take away the pain of grief. I told a friend of mine this because I believe it to be true, but the more the grief hurts, the more you love them, because grief is love with nowhere to go. I’m so glad you’re such a loving friend, and I know your bestest friend loved you too, that’s why they were your friend. But all that love becomes so heavy once it’s become grief, and it chokes the joy and life right out of you. I wish I could tell you how to breathe underwater, but the only way is to take in a deep breath once you break the surface. But I see you! Kicking your way back up and reaching up again! I know it’s hard and the water’s heavy, but we’re reaching back to pull you in! I promise that grief will heal and you will love again!!! :face_holding_back_tears: :purple_heart:*
@@HeartSupport your message is immensely appreciated! Unfortunately I do not have anyone that has helped me these last two years and I am a little embarrassed by that fact. UA-cam has been what has helped me the most and I am forever grateful that it exists. Interacting through different channels with people I don't know is weirdly comforting. I am truly happy I found this specific channel. Everyone who reaches out to us for support you are a blessing! My absolute favorite thing is watching reactions to the variety of songs from people hearing them for the first time. I loved showing my friends who've left this world songs I discovered and seeing their reaction. I can't thank you enough! Each day is a challenge. Some days are more tolerable but like you said, days when I think of my friends can be so difficult and long....
07:17 Grampa lost wife at young age, lost elder daughter a decade ago, and son in his 50s recently... But i dunno how, he is still looking at the top of the mountain when we witness him. You can't imagine the amount of strength he emanate to all of us, it will be my honour taking him to the top of his mountain and I beg to God for giving me chance. Nice words lady and good work. Ty.
I relate it to my son, who passed away last year. There are so many situations becoming very personal. Like the sentence from I learned from a French song which says "All boats carry your flag"
This video shows me that we don't have to struggle alone, and with the help of others we can reach that ultimate goal. Failure and "shit happens" moments can be met head on with determination and the strength of allowing people within our lives help us move forward.
This song is great because it is a love song from men to men, of brotherhood and fraternity. Showing that you can be strong, and stoic, and loyal, without ever being cruel or violent.
Rammstein is indeed an emotional experience. They make such beautiful touching melodies. If you can, try to visit a show from them. You will never forget the experience. It lasts a life long.
@@drb5538Agreed. Some songs are purposefully right up in your face with their crudeness/directness. In those cases they don't mince words. Like for example "Links 2 3 4" being their answer to the (still) recurring claims that Rammstein are somehow affiliated with extreme right wing, fascist, or neo-nazi ideology. Just because of their often martial image and Till's use of the stage German (which was a theatrical projection technique) abused/used by the little Austrian angry mustache man with the raised right arm. That angry guy really did a number on a very old stage technique. 😤😡 As a German I abhor the moustache guy. So Rammstein created Links 2 3 4 as a direct answer to those claims. One of a group of one songs that requires NO interpretation as to how Rammstein meant it.😂
I have always loved this song, but after i lost my wife to cancer almost 2 years ago it means so much more and it´s a song that i listen to very often. Very painfull to listen to but everything he is singing is true. I myself is functioning again but mostly because of our 2 children. thank you for your videos, i have been watching them all night, and it helped me get in a better place. Regards Michael
1st just found your channel and shared with my mom who Stuggles and She does and taught me MUSIC is therapeutic but I've been saying how METAL is far deeper than "NOISE" One of my ALL TIME favorite Rammstein songs, Alot of People dont realize Rammstein are TRUE ARTISTS and the depth that is put into thier Videos to help convey the message is timeless and international with or without translation
Honestly love how into the metal songs you get. Ive listened to this song for many years, and I never realized the connection between grief, and the birds not singing with the season. Super astute observation. You sound like a great therapist
When my friend was dying from cancer I would sing this softly to her as we would cuddle on the couch. I lost the closest thing I had to a little sister. My heart actually hurts if I let myself go there too much
From lu2910: @shirazzza I am so sorry for your loss my friend. Grief is such a complex and painful thing to experience, I am sorry your heart is hurting. This is a beautiful song and I know that her hearing you sing this made her final moments happy and peaceful ones. You are very kind and a very loving person, your singing gave her such love. This song now probably has a very tender and special place in your heart, and through that her memory will never leave you. As you process this grief, let yourself feel the aching hurt and let it run its course in you. All the emotions you are feeling are valid. I am sending you much love my friend <3
@HeartSupport thank you so much. Yeah it's just gone the 2 years since losing her. Today is 6 years since losing one of my fave people in the world. He saved me from all sorts of bad situations. Cancer took him as well
From lu2910: @shirazzza I'm so sorry for your loss. Your friend seemed like a wonderful person and I am here with you as you grieve the loss. The fact that you were able to know them and they were able to know you is a blessing. Holdfast my friend, you are not alone.
3:04 i definitely feel that way. Lost my first love and only true love in 2016 to a car accident. Got the date and her last note to me (the end where she said i love you, - Kayla) and her handwriting tattoed on me and her initials on my thumbs. I'll never find a love like that again. No one has ever made my heart so full and happy and content on this earth. The amount of joy I got from seeing her face is beyond what I can explain into words to anyone else. I've never felt love such as that before or since. And i never will. I'll never heal from her loss. And I'll never be the same man I was when I was with her. The most sensitive, beautiful, loving, innocent, caring, empathetic, lovely creature I've ever come into contact with. I fell in love the first moment I saw her, literally. 2 days later we were dating. I loved her more than anything. And yet. I couldn't protect her. Yet I blame myself for something completely out of my own control. She was too pure for this world. Too sensitive. Too loving. Too innocent. But she still deserved life. The world became darker forever the day she left it. But my god, do I miss every fiber of her being every single day that passes is like breathing in fire and sulfur and sulfuric acid. Like being waterboarded and stung by a 100,000 bees at once every 20 minutes. I love you Kayla. Forever. Let not a day go by I don't carry your memory and feel the immense burden and pain of your passing.
Hello, my name is Uwe, I come from Germany and have been a Rammstein fan for 25 years. I really enjoy watching your reaction videos. You get to the point, and I love looking into beautiful eyes. Sorry. One might assume that the song "Ohne Dich" is a love story? But in reality, the song, written by Till Lindemann, is about the solidarity of the band RAMMSTEIN. The words "Ohne Dich" are meant to say that all six band members are only strong together. That without the others, it's not worth making music, continuing their art as it is! One of my particular highlights, Rammstein. Till is the best songwriter I know in Germany! But thank you for your great reactions, please keep it up and more from you! Thank you.
Aber ich finde es sehr interessant, wie man diesen Song ohne Hintergrund Wissen auch interpretieren kann. Gerade das mit den Jahreszeiten und dem Vogelgezwitscher. Wäre ich nie darauf gekommen. Deshalb schaue ich auch so gerne reaktion Videos von Rammstein Liedern und Videos, da sie jeder anders interpretieren kann. Die Meisten zumindest.
When Rammstein entered the market in the early 1990 you were branded as a Psycho when you admitted to listen to their music. Meanwhile it is very popular. You are the sweetest Listener i have ever seen. Your reaction is just perfect. Love.
This is one of 5 Rammstein songs I immediatly have tears in my eyes after a few seconds. Even after listening to it the 100th+ time. I love your perfect timing on this reaction, thanks!
I loved your reaction. The song talks about death but from the perspective of how you prepare yourself to the idea of losing someone but also the person who is going to die, the process of mourning. When you know someone you love will leave this world, you walk all the way down to the end with that person so the transition is peaceful, what you see at the end of the song the person dies in peace with his loved ones around him.
I recommend Mutter, it's one of their darkest, saddest songs of theirs. If I recall correctly, it's about a boy who was conceived artificially, and it mirrors the difficult relationship of Til and Richard with their mothers. I'm not if that's the meaning, but I feel it's a good candidate from a mental-health perspective❤
I'd guess that songs like Angst (fear) and Zeit (time) are right up your alley. Angst is about how people are made to fear others, time is about dealing with loss and having moments you don't want to end, but time passes making events a (sad) memory. In both official video's, the imagery is quite strong. The productions are phenomenal. Oh... and while exploring... You may want to look at Zick Zack, which deals with the madness of plastic surgery
Mam you´re exceptional in your analysis. I´m native german and you´re translation of the song into your language takes me to a whole other level of understanding what this song actually means. It revitalizes my fate that to completely understand the lyrics of a song you should be able to translate it to another language and explain what you feel about it then. Mam i applaud you for your achievement
...and after that, maybe you're ready for "Deutschland". But read some background information about that one first. Otherwise you might (WILL) be confused.
New subscriber. So glad I found your channel. Rammstein was one of my and late wife's favorite bands. We were only married a year and a half when she passed. Miss her everyday. Music is my therapy. She was my soulmate.
I rememebe hearign this song like 12 yrs ago and without translation i felt it and i even cried i rmemeber dedicating rhat to my old aelf when a perosn who i was in love with he got htiched while we were together and my friend passed away feom a car accident i never had the chance to go to his sisters wedding bwcause he was in coma and then months later he passed away which was 2012. This song really hits me hard. Thank you ao much for loving this song.❤
Another very beautiful song is "Der Weg" by Herbert Grönemeyer, he lost his brother and his wife within a week and processes his pain in this text. Another beautiful song is by Andreas Gabalier "amoi seg' ma uns wieder", in this song he processes the suicide of his father and his sister, who followed her father shortly afterwards.
I grew up on Rammstein, actually living near the singers birth town. Rammstein never fails to get me emotional. Especially as a native german speaker because their lyrics can be interpreted in so many ways. They are always playing with the language and i absolutly love it.
#heartsupport It's been nearly 3 years since my best friend passed, it took the heart out of my world, hearing the translation of this song has brought me to tears again. It never leaves you and no matter how long or how far you go a single moment can bring the loss and the pain back. If you know someone who's feeling this then just hold them tight and let them know that they're alone because I can guarantee thats how they feel 😢
From lu2910: @AcidBathFreakshow I am so sorry for your loss. Grief is something that we can think we've processed and the next thing you know, all of the emotions come flooding back in and you feel so devastated and alone. It is a very powerful and very consuming emotion, I understand your hurt my friend. Know that through my screen, I am giving you a big hug. I have felt similar loneliness to how you are feeling and I promise you that it will not last forever. Although those we lost are not here with us physically, we are not alone. I see those I lost in the kindness of strangers, the wind in trees, and the sky when the sunset is extra pink. Sometimes I will have thoughts like "she would be so proud of me now if she could see me", and those make me know that no one is ever really gone. Their memories will always be with us, and those memories are what help us to live a life worth living that would bring them joy and pride. I am here and I am grieving with you. I am blessed that someone like your friend was able to know and be known by you, that is such a gift for you both. As you process this grief, know you are not alone. The memories and happiness that you had and felt with your friend will not leave you. Know that I care for you deeply and I feel your grief my friend. You are so very loved <3
From reem182: @AcidBathFreakshow Thank you so much for that encouragement. Everyone needs to know that they are loved, and I want you to know that you are loved and cared for deeply my friend. Dealing with loss and attempting to cope with it is SO incredibly difficult. It's not something we can simply fix with therapy or medication or even a new friendship. That person is gone and it feels impossible to move on without them. I don't know why we go through things like loss, and I wish I could say the words that would take your sorrow away. But while I don't have all the answers, I want to share what I do know. I know that regardless of how hard it might get and how heavy your grief might feel, you are grieving alongside so many other people right now who also feel similar pains. And while that might not take away your pain, you can continue pushing knowing that you are not alone and that there IS hope and joy in the midst of this loss. When I've struggled with really heavy situations, I often feel like I have to get past them in order to feel happy again. I've learned that living like that only brings disappointment, because the reality is, our lives are filled with suffering. But we can choose what to do with it. For me, knowing that there is a God who grieves alongside me and offers me eternal love no matter what I am going through has been the only thing that has kept me going. And no matter what you believe, that same unconditional love is available to you too. Ultimately, no matter where you find yourself today, I firmly believe that joy and peace are not as far as they may seem in this season. You are not wrong for feeling sorrow after three years, and you do not need to overcome that sorrow in order to feel happiness. Right here, right now, just as you are, there is hope and love for you. You are loved eternally and you are NEVER fighting alone. I am praying for you right now my friend, thank you for being honest and for being here.
@@HeartSupport Today is a good day. Thank for such kind words my friend, the truly help a lot. It's hard to grieve as I'm sure you know, even harder when you're alone. We may not know each other ourside of these few words but that you had the kindness to write to me is amazing, it helps and I'm not sure why? Thank you again for writing and I hope, perhaps, we might open a line of dialogue so we can continue talking.
@@HeartSupport Thank you for talking to me, your hug is very much appreciated (I do love a good hug 😊) I think the hardest thing is ehen you catch yourself out and firget that they're gone and then it hits you again, I hate days like that, but I know I have to keep putting ine foot in front if the other and keep going on for her snd for myself, though it is tiring and hard being alone. Your kindness however lights up the path and eases my grief and for that I wish to thsnk you from the bottom of my heart as it helps a lot to know domeone, somewhere is thinking about me.
I love their songs performed both German and English that's talented. Engel/angel hit different lyrically between translation of both versions. Sonne is a great tune as well.
This song ALWAYS makes me cry. It is so sad, and with me losing my father last year, it is how I feel right now. I have never read the translation, but I have felt it. As I stated before on a video, I have recently been diagnosed as severely depressed and am in need of help.
From runner12: @txmale1977 Thank you for reaching out and sharing. I am so glad you are here! I’m sorry that you lost your dad last year. Losing a parent is an extremely difficult and painful thing to go through. Grief is not an easy road to navigate and there is no one right way to grieve. Reaching out for help is an important step and we are here to support and encourage you. Depression can feel suffocating and overwhelming. Like you’re lost in a sludge of fog with no way out. It can be exhausting and lonely. One thing Ive learned after years of struggling with depression is that the fog doesn’t stick around forever. Despite every fiber of our being telling us it will never end, somehow it always dissipates. A spark of light will appear and that’s when we need to grab on, focus on it and trust that there’s a turning point right around the corner. I truly believe there is hope even when it doesn’t feel that way. Our feelings often lie to us. I pray that you find comfort and healing as you continue to move forward. You are loved and I’m rooting for you!
From bmao: @txmale1977 Thank you so much for bearing your heart to us, not only on this video but on multiple videos. I'm so sorry to hear that you've lost your father. That loss must be crushing- the one who was there to raise you, to teach you, to guide you through life is suddenly no longer here for you, and that is crushing. On top of such a hard period of grieving, you have to navigate the waters of being diagnosed as severely depressed. Life has its ways of throwing curveballs at us that feel so unfair, so uncalled for, and so out-of-the-blue. We're often left standing at the plate, trying our best to swing and coming up short, or just getting hit hard by wild pitches we didn't see coming. These hits can sting for a long time, but eventually the pain will fade. The fact of the matter is- even though we face these curveballs, you are ready for them. You've already made it to the major leagues. All of your life you've been overcoming disappointment, heartbreak, and loss, and though those struggles still weigh heavy, you find the opportunity to grow through the pain every time. It is also so incredible that you are able to resonate with the power of music through your struggles. Though people will come and go, music will always be accessible. I've personally had some of the most cathartic and recentering moments of my life while crying to music that speaks to my heart. Lean into the power of music. Let it bring out your emotions and don't be afraid to let those emotions climax. We all need a good cry from time to time, especially when we are going through struggle. Remind yourself that you are strong, you are gifted, and you are equipped to handle any pitch that life throws your way. You can't be taken down by a couple rogue curveballs. You are worthy of the amazing life laid out ahead of you. We at HeartSupport are always here for you if you need to talk more. You are so so loved. Holdfast- we believe in you.
Rammstein - Keine Lust... is also about mental health. I think it is about depression and when you feel "dead" inside and have no more joy in life. And it works a lot with german phrases as well. That gives the song a deeper level
There is a german phrase "über den Berg sein" which literally means "to be over the mountain", it means you have overcome something difficult to be "out of the woods", Till made it to the top, but not over the mountain.
Hi Taylor, as 333 comments talk about Rammstein (sorry, i haven't checked them all) I just wanted to point out that I loved your reactions. You are a warm, lovely, empathic person with your heart on the right place.
What you gotta love about Rammstein is the beautifull poetic way to describe horrific events. It is a grammatical contrast. Special examples are Dalai Lama and Spieluhr.
Rammstein doesn't make touching songs so often but when they do I can tell that hitting different and are top notch masterpieces you should try "stirb nicht vor Mir"(don't die before I do) or mutter and zeit from their last album that actually called same as the song zeit.
This song carried me through the worst heartbreak I had ever felt. I couldn't listen to any other music for days. The music and the vocals expressed very well how I felt. And the lyrics had another, more personal level for me besides the visible meaning.
You don't need to speak German to feel the grief and loss communicated in this song. It reminds me of losing my dad when I was just 21. I don't think I've ever grieved as deeply and for so long after losing him. It really felt like the whole world had shattered for me and there was nothing that could ever make it whole again. That's what's great about Rammstein songs, they're so cathartic. If you watch the "making of" video about this song, the director says that the storyline of the video is that the band are climbing to the top of a place like Mount Everest, where the physical resources needed to get to the top and back are so perilous for the individual climbers that for most climbing expeditions if someone were to be sick the party would simply leave them behind to die because trying to save them will lead to the surviving climbers' own deaths. In the video not only the man who fell dies at the end, they all die. The other members of the party decide that it is better for all of them to go to the peak and experience it together than to leave one of them behind. It is quietly decided in the tent that this is a journey that they must all take together even though is will mean that no one makes it back alive. The man tapping away with the tool is making their headstone, to let future climbers know that no one in their expedition survived, that they chose to die together rather than leave their friend behind. It's a very powerful video. Rammstein has a very long history of making these miniature blockbuster movies for their songs. As someone said earlier, you should really look at the video for Zeit. It's absolutely beautiful and it also deals with loss and the passing of time. You should really do another one of these reaction videos for that song.
After watching a few of your clips, i only can say you're a beatifull person. And i can really appreciate your intrest in European culture, from the other side of the world.
May I suggest a cover of a Rammstein song. Seemann with Nina Hagen and Apocalyptica. Great lyrics and great performance, you'll definitely have a lot of fun with it.
Adieu would be a good choice, it is a very powerful song with a very psychological background ! Rammstein got me through a difficult time with two heart attacks. It was a light on the path, something to do for the mind and soul. And of course, great music!
German here... I lost my granny 3 Years ago and it hurts like hell every day, till this day. This song hits so hard, I can't even tell. And it hurts even more, when you lost someone you love and understand the words without translation. Espacially the second verse... On the branches, in the ditches It is now quiet and lifeless And breathing is so hard for me Woe is me, oh woe And the birds no longer sing She died due to illness and her age. But that doesn't matter. Death and the loss is still the same. Never forget, that you're loved by someone whose life will be quiet, lifeless and who will miss you with every hard taken breath.
From KyleGouldOfficial: @Frozen_Alive Hi First off, Yes it definitely hard losing a loved one been through this same issue a long time ago when i was a child still. Quite hard to see them not in our lives anymore if the only thing we can do is move on with continue living our lives. But, the lyrics hit alot towards that emotional being alone without that loved one which is hard but im gonna let you know you're not alone in this and we at heartsupport are here for you.
From OmarM: @Frozen_Alive Hey friend, I'm so sorry for your loss. Losing someone as special as a grandmother is awful. The pain that comes with it can definitely linger for awhile. Music as special as it is can amplify these emotions, especially when lyrics resonate with you. The second verse you mentioned definitely captures the emptiness and silence that comes with losing someone. Please remember that grief isn't a straight line, it doesn't follow a timeline, it's normal to feel the weight of a loss even years later. Your ability to reflect on the love we leave behind is powerful friend, it reminds me of the connections we form with those we love. If you ever need to talk again, don't hesitate to send another message on heartsupport, friend.
I've never spoke. NA word of German in my life.But I can sing this song word-for-word from beginning to end.That's what I love about musit's absolutely universal
For me this song is beautiful and very sad. He can't live without her, but "mit dir bin ich auch alein"... with you I'm also alone. He can't live without her, but with her he feels also alone. The song is hopeless.
From Gregor1an: @erikahampton7632 Thanks for sharing, and I'm very sorry for your loss! I'm sure listening to this song today brings back some painful memories, but I hope it can also remind you of the love and good times you had with your sister as well. It's been 5 years and I want you to know it's OK to still miss her every day. It's OK to miss her for the rest of your life. Obviously, I hope that you can (and have) found ways to channel that into positive movement in your life. But I can imagine there are probably some really good days and also some pretty rough ones! Try to stay positive and moving one step at a time, and please be kind to yourself and give yourself grace. I'm silently cheering you on from afar! :slight_smile:
From Micro: @erikahampton7632 Makes complete sense, friend. For your heart to resonate with this song, especially in light of losing your sister and missing her. It's so hard to see the years passing by while missing someone you grew up with and shared so many parts of your life together. Losing a sibling cuts deeply, in ways that are sometimes difficult to describe. My heart goes out to you today as you carry this pain with you. I lost my brother in 2018, and I still miss him so very much. It doesn't feel like years have passed since he left - just counting the years that separate us feel absolutely unreal, so much that I keep forgetting every new year how long it's been already. It's like the brain just doesn't want to keep that information sometimes. Time doesn't move the same way. It's sometimes so very slow, while other seasons it will seem to go by way too quickly. Still, there is a part of you that keeps being somehow in the past, with them, like a film that would be on repeat, where a version can keep hugging them and laughing with them. You feel it deep within when their absence hurts the most. It's heartbreaking when your are left like this, with a gift of life that sometimes feels unfairly distributed, forced to keep on paving your way without them. It's not how things should be, and not how you could have envisioned it either. I hope through this song and through the love you keep carrying for your sister, you can also feel her presence, her love and care as well. She keeps on living through you, your voice, through this spark of life within and the breath in your lungs. Each and every day. :heart: -Marie-Anne, Heartsupport staff

Losing a sibling cuts deeply, in ways that are sometimes difficult to describe. My heart goes out to you today as you carry this pain with you. I lost my brother in 2018, and I still miss him so very much. It doesn't feel like years have passed since he left - just counting the years that separate us feel absolutely unreal, so much that I keep forgetting every new year how long it's been already. It's like the brain just doesn't want to keep that information sometimes. Time doesn't move the same way. It's sometimes so very slow, while other seasons it will seem to go by way too quickly. Still, there is a part of you that keeps being somehow in the past, with them, like a film that would be on repeat, where a version can keep hugging them and laughing with them. You feel it deep within when their absence hurts the most. It's heartbreaking when your are left like this, with a gift of life that sometimes feels unfairly distributed, forced to keep on paving your way without them. It's not how things should be, and not how you could have envisioned it either. I hope through this song and through the love you keep carrying for your sister, you can also feel her presence, her love and care as well. She keeps on living through you, your voice, through this spark of life within and the breath in your lungs. Each and every day. :heart: -Marie-Anne, Heartsupport staff
It's lovely to hear your take on this song. I am a bit disappointed that the part which has resonated so much with me for about fifteen / twenty years isn't mentioned. "Without you I cannot be, with you I am alone too. Without you I count the hours, without you, with you the seconds stand still, they aren't worth it." It would have been great to hear your thoughts on the second parts of these sentences. With respect, I think you largely misinterpreted this one. As someone with autism and an anxiety disorder, the lyrics almost perfectly describe how I feel about a romantic relationship. Something I've longed for for such a long time. 32 now, never had a proper one and at this point I don't think I can. I think it'd be too much for me to deal with when so often I can't even deal with myself.
From lu2910: @dystopiawanderer I'm sorry that such a meaningful part of this song has been neglected, it definitely is a beautifully written and meaningful part. I appreciate you sharing and being so open about what this means to you and why it holds such significance. You relate the lyrics very beautifully. To feel like you couldn't handle a romantic relationship yet to so deeply want one must be so frustrating and isolating. I'm sorry that romance has been such a painful thing for you throughout your life. I want you to know that you are a complete, valid, and amazing person just as you are. You do not become more of a person, better, or any less respected due to a relationship. Think about people in your life who are single, do you view them as less than people who are dating? In our world, there are so many things that take up so much of our time. We have hobbies, work, friendships, family, and so many more obligations that for some of us, a relationship just isn't feasible. One of my good friends has been single since I've known her, and once when we were talking she told me that she was actually perfectly content where she was. She said since she prioritized her work, schooling, and friendships that she currently had so much, she didn't think she had time for a relationship nor did she need one to feel complete. With all that being said, I completely feel your hurt of feeling lonely. Let me be the first to tell you that you can have a relationship. Whatever lies that the media of anything else might tell you about dating when you have autism or anxiety is a complete lie. The right person will understand you and not let things out of your control get in the way. One thing that one of my friends told me that has changed the way I look at relationships is "I don't need a relationships, I want one". This has made me realize that you are not a failure for being single, nor are you missing a piece. You are a complete person, and I know that there is much more to your identity and who you are than your singleness, more to you than just your autism and anxiety. You are very loved my friend, even if it is not in a romantic way. I hope that I am able to help you see that <3
Found Your channel by chance today and I am very glad I did. Of course I subscribed to it immediately. I am from Germany and Rammstein is a great band. "Ohne Dich", "Deutschland" und "Ausländer" are the best pieces in my opinion. Keep the great content coming. I am looking forward to the next one. Greetings from Germany.
One of my favorite songs to sing at Karaoke. I'm living with my ex still, broken up for over two years. The hardest possible path to a friendship, with more chances to lose everything than chances to succeed at simple friendship. And I'm still heartbroken. It's living death.
From runner12: @caustic_rage Thank you for reaching out and sharing. It sounds like a complicated situation that I’m sure is frustrating at times. Feeling heartbroken everyday is tough and I’m sorry you are dealing with that. You deserve to be healed and to be able to move on so you can live your life to the fullest. I pray for strength and courage for you as you navigate this season of life and are able to discover and recognize hope in your future. You are not alone and we believe in you!
From tepidtooth85_95286: @caustic_rage Hey there! That is definitely a tough situation to be in, it reminds me a lot of a similar scenario in my family. My Aunt and Uncle split up when I was around 10 and stopped living together, but they didn’t get a divorce. I saw my Aunt a lot as she’s my Mom’s sister, but I didn’t see my Uncle for a long time. After awhile, my Aunt and Uncle started talking more again, and while they aren’t back together, they have been spending a lot of time together and I’ve gotten to see my Uncle a lot more. While you move through this season, make sure to not get caught up on the “what if’s. As hard as it may be to let go of the past, it may be needed to move on and start healing. I’m so sorry to hear of how hard this has been for you, I will be praying for you friend!
You should consider stepping a bit outside Rammstein and check out Till Lindemann’s side project, “Lindemann”. Home Sweet Home ( in English) is also about dealing with loss. “Ich Hasse Kinder” is about the anger surrounding bullying and “Steh Auf” was about a kid dealing with his mother’s heroin OD.
Already knowing the title of the song, this was on my grief playlist after my wife of 16 years passed away,(CF). This is the first time I got the song as a whole in English.
The literal meaning of the lyrics alternate lines saying "I cannot be without you, I count the hours till you're back" and "When you're here I'm alone too. Time stands still. It's not worth it." - it's describing a love/hate relationship, where the singer can't stand to be away from the other person but also can't stand to be with them.
One way to understand those lyrics is to understand this as something a junky sings that is on cold turky. The thing he is longing for is not another person but his drug. Without you, I cannot be, without you With you, I am alone too (Without you) Without you, I count the hours without you With you, the seconds stand still, they aren't worth it
I had a difficult childhood. But someone who was always stable in my life was my grandmother. She died when I was seven. It coincides with me starting to have depression and suicidal thoughts. I'm 35 years now and at times I'm still straggling with this fundamental loss. I only have a few memories left that I remember, but I miss her so much sometimes. I live in fear to lose someone I love so much again that it paralyses me at times. I haven't thought about her in a while, but now I'm here crying again. I guess I'm still not over it and I don't know how to get over it...
From Gabs: @cjane_world Hi, thank you for sharing! Grief comes in many ways and there is no right way to look at it either. I'm so sorry for your loss but she is watching over you and it is okay to miss her in anytime of your life. I can relate to you because I lost my grandpa a couple of years ago and I still grieve for him till this day. For me, it does get better but it doesn't mean I still wont miss him from time to time so I understand how you're feeling. Grieving is complicated but you got this!
From tepidtooth85_95286: @cjane_world Hey there friend, I am so sorry to hear of your loss and how much of a toll it took on you. I recently lost someone very close to me, and I miss them every day. But as hard as it may be, it is so important we do not allow these losses to paralyze us! I lost both my Grandparents around the time I started Kindergarten. I hardly knew them, and my memories of them are few and far between. I have often found myself pondering on what it would be like if they were still here, and I have done this even more so with those I have lost around me that I was even closer with since then. But something I realized one day, is that while there is nothing wrong with reminiscing, we must not let it control us. When we let the thoughts of what we could lose or have lost weigh us down, we lose our grip on the present. If we lose our grip on the present, we will miss out on even more than we have lost!! There is so much in this world to explore and so many memories to be made, these thoughts make me recall a few lines from one of my favorite songs: "Too much time on my hands, I got you on my mind Can't ease this pain so easily When you can't find the words to say, hard to make it through another day And it makes me wanna cry, throw my hands up to the sky So understand Don't waste your time always searching for those wasted years Face up, make your stand Realize you're living in the golden years" These lines are from the song "Wasted Years" by Iron Maiden. The song was written by their guitarist Adrian Smith, who wrote it about him realizing how much time he spent away from his family on the road. And as you can see, he came to the same conclusion I am trying to get across: time is precious!! Definitely grieve appropriately, but do not miss out on life's wonders for the sake of what has been! Your life has SO much value and infinite possibilities, now go capture them!! I dearly hope you can find peace with the loss of your Grandmother, I will be praying for you friend!!
I must admit that for a very long time I only knew Du hast and Engel Ramstein's songs. Some years ago, I started listening every time more and more of their songs and watching their video production, and I became a total fun of them, of their almost entire production, (Some songs could have been spared like "puta" for instance). Their music, and their video productions as well, it's not only powerful and amazingly full of beauty (they have created their own sound universes) at the same time, but it's really really straight to feelings and strong sensations. It's the kind of music that gets or touches you deeply and ends up affecting you (in my case). Most of their masterpieces (like this one) are deeply sad, and that's why their music touches me in my feelings and moves me deeply, changing my mud. I guess, because of all fo this, they became my favourite (hard) rock band.
I am a huge Rammstein fan and a lot of their music hits home. But your break down of this video/song brought a tear to my eye. I've had so much loss from suicides to alcohol induced deaths of close and dear Friends. Myself and my brother are all that's left. While he is in Texas I'm in Michigan. I haven't been able to bring myself to date after my divorce.7 yrs ago our daughter died and it was the end of my marriage. She remarried and I just lost all interest. I am so tired of being alone.
From PenArt: @boxtruckjerm8509 I can tell you I haven’t known a worse pain than being alone after knowing wonderful company. A family breaking apart is one of the worst tragedies a person can ever experience. The love in the memories that builds up over time suddenly crashes and shatters into grief. That nice, soft, warm feeling now feels sharp and jagged, stabbing at your heart and makes you choke up. Those fragments still linger, popping up when you hear a song that takes you back to a car trip, or a smell that reminds you of the holidays together, or seeing someone smile like they did. The feelings you had then are polarized into the negative now, feeling like the epitome of pain. The grief can’t heal unless it’s felt and handled, even if they poke and stab at our hands as we try to piece it back together, and it’s painful, enough to make us cry. And that’s ok! Tears are there to ease the hurt away, help us see what we had and love it again, even when we can’t have it back. Sometimes we fall apart again, and we feel like we have to start all over again, but knowing we *can* put ourselves back together means we can do it again, and again, and again, no matter how long it takes. Reaching out and saying something is a great place to start healing! And I’m so glad you did! Your brother loves you very much, and although there may be physical distance, your strength in your bond brings you very close and should be cared for! You are not alone! You are strong and you are loved! Thank you for being here!
From JBrach: @boxtruckjerm8509 I am so glad that the video hit home for you, that's what it's all about. However, your connection to this unfortunately shows the incredible loss and pain you have endured. I am very sorry to hear about your multitude of losses. I can't image the ache and pain of all of that and only having your brother left, and even he is a large distance away. I want to give you my heartfelt condolences for the loss of your daughter as well. Losing a child is one of those things no one should face. It would feel so lonely and isolated to be one of the sole survivors of so much death. And a break from this loneliness, a companion, doesn't feel possible to you after your divorce. I feel for you and my heart breaks for you. There is always hope for new love, but all at your own pace. Take your time with the grieving of your daughter. One day, maybe you will be ready. I am proud of you! Be patient with your healing process. We are here for you along the way!
First off, I love your reactions to some of my favorite music!! You definitely understand the passion and story behind just the sound! Please do reaction to "Passenger" by Deftones
Thanks for this nice translation of that song! For me one of the sadest Rammstein songs is Seemann ! I recommend that song is surly interesting for you! By the way, I love your cute Body language and movement 🥰
Next one with Rammstein should absolutely be Zeit, a song tackling the struggles of time, very beautiful and fitting for the channel!
absolutely
I concur! There is a version with English subtitles which would be really good.I think there is one from "Educated Marine" here on YT
The same with "Angst", the second masterpiece of this album.
Absolutamente
Yes, Zeit would be the best choice for the next one - and after Zeit maybe Angst
I second this
Rammstein making short films and not just songs. Such a great beautiful and touching video.
This song is actually about the band sticking together after almost breaking up. It is about friendship, helping out each other. Bringing a friend to the summit, even it is the last thing. But of course Rammstein lyrics are open and complex and can be transferred to whatever the listener wants to.
I thought that was Haifisch?
@@jacobpaulson23 The break up issue was after "Mutter" in 2002. "Ohne Dich" came out in 2004 - "Haifisch" in 2010. Also there is a hint at the beginning of the "Ohne Dich" video: We see Till alone at the creek, the band in the back looking at him. Then one band member is tapping his shoulder encouraging him to (re)join the gang ...
@andreasbinner3657 Oh I know what it was, I assume I just always thought Ohne Dich was a love song because of the lyrics, and that Haifisch actually dealt with the incident because of its lyrics!
In m'y opinion, this song IS about the loss Till felt when he Lost his father, but it's just m'y feels ☺️
Absolutely true. The meaning of the song deepened after that I lost several persons close to me i a short time frame. I feel that all art are more or less always open to interpretation. But it's a great song and probably my favorite of all of Rammsteins songs nowadays due to my experiences.
In the video when he falls and hurts his leg they all know he's not going to make it home alive but they all help their friend to achieve their goal together before he passes away. So it's sad but triumphant.
Precisely. When he's lying injured in the tent he's still staring at the mountain. So instead of taking him downhill and seek help, they take him to the mountain top.
Wrong video dude!
Based on the fact that he wouldn't move even an inch more no matter the case, even when lying down, one can quite safely assume his hurt his spine and not his leg, ending in tetraplegic. More than the symbolic of an obstacle to overcome, it's the impossibility to go further and the friends being the (only) solution, even though indeed all knew how it would end
I buried my father with this song. It was one of the few songs that he always sang along to at concerts
I love you, dad.
;(
sorry for your loss
may your beloved dad rest in peace...
i cried at this comment 😭🥺
but I’m so sorry for your loss 🙏🏻❤️
I cried a little... I know your pain my dude, my dad passed away 6 going on 7 years ago... the pain never goes away, but it hurts a little less with each passing year...
It's indicative that, after his fall, they camp next to a memorial cairn, where tin plates, engraved with the names of the dead are placed. While they tend him, they are tapping out his memorial plate.
"No, no, no. Is he alive?"
You just gave yourself the answer. Three times. But he lived to see the top of the mountain with the help of his friends. And that's what matters. The only thing that does.
German is such a beautiful and expressive language... I am proud of my language.
Sorry for my school english...
Greetings from Germany...🇩🇪✌️
@@R0d_1984 Thanks and greetings from good old Germany... ✌️
I'm agree, this is a very beautiful language, I'd like to start to learn it, even if it's seems pretty hard.... but, one day, I'll start to learn it
Moin. Ich grüße zurück. 😀
This song is a masterpiece, almost like everything Rammstein does, including their musical videos which are basically movies and also their live performances which include the best show in the whole world (and a LOT of fire), a song about they cant be without each other, because each member is special to the band ❤
This video made me cry like a baby the first time I saw it.
This song has hit so hard for me. It's hard to type with tears and a runny nose...even though it's been almost 2 years since I lost my bestest friend, not a day goes by that I don't think of him knowing I'll never see him again. It's soul crushing. This song is a perfect reflection of how I feel...
It’s been 33yrs since I lost my beloved and this song gets me every time I hear it…along with many others. In my experience that feeling never goes away it just fades a in to the background a bit, stay strong 💪🏼
From JBrach: @KattMurr It sounds like you're letting yourself feel your grief in an incredibly healthy way by letting the tears flow. 2 years is a long time yet a short time to process grief and I can imagine that the waves of those emotions have ebbed and flowed during that time. My experience with grief has been that some days I don't think about it and others it hits me like a brick. Tomorrow is my mom's birthday, who I lost 3 years ago, and it's a brickier one of those times. I hear you on that soul crushing-ness of grief. I feels like there is no one who can ever be like them or have the same kind of love you shared ever again. It feels like you're in the middle of a downpour and the water just won't stop. It feels like you're in the middle of a black hole just drifting into oblivion. I'm with you my friend. As you are in this pain I am here to tell you you are not alone! The days are dark but there is always light ahead, as cliche as it sounds, there is always more love to experience in the middle of and on the other side of our darkest valleys. You can live your life in honor of the one you lost and keep them at the forefront of what you do and who you choose to be. I am with you in this pain and I will be keeping you in my prayers! <3
From PenArt: @KattMurr *I’m so terribly sorry for your loss. Losing someone so close and so important is like having a piece of your heart broken off and you feel that missing part ache and hurt when you think about them, and then the tears can’t stop and suddenly you’re drowning and suffocating. All air seems lost and breathing seems impossible. Loss is so confining and causes such a lonely misery. I wish I could help you glue your heart back together. Or take away the pain of grief. I told a friend of mine this because I believe it to be true, but the more the grief hurts, the more you love them, because grief is love with nowhere to go. I’m so glad you’re such a loving friend, and I know your bestest friend loved you too, that’s why they were your friend. But all that love becomes so heavy once it’s become grief, and it chokes the joy and life right out of you. I wish I could tell you how to breathe underwater, but the only way is to take in a deep breath once you break the surface. But I see you! Kicking your way back up and reaching up again! I know it’s hard and the water’s heavy, but we’re reaching back to pull you in! I promise that grief will heal and you will love again!!! :face_holding_back_tears: :purple_heart:*
@@HeartSupport your message is immensely appreciated! Unfortunately I do not have anyone that has helped me these last two years and I am a little embarrassed by that fact. UA-cam has been what has helped me the most and I am forever grateful that it exists. Interacting through different channels with people I don't know is weirdly comforting. I am truly happy I found this specific channel. Everyone who reaches out to us for support you are a blessing! My absolute favorite thing is watching reactions to the variety of songs from people hearing them for the first time. I loved showing my friends who've left this world songs I discovered and seeing their reaction. I can't thank you enough! Each day is a challenge. Some days are more tolerable but like you said, days when I think of my friends can be so difficult and long....
@@HeartSupport "grief is love with nowhere to go"...
One of my favorite songs. He always cuts me to pieces. Mountains combined with friendship and sadness.

Grampa lost wife at young age, lost elder daughter a decade ago, and son in his 50s recently... But i dunno how, he is still looking at the top of the mountain when we witness him. You can't imagine the amount of strength he emanate to all of us, it will be my honour taking him to the top of his mountain and I beg to God for giving me chance. Nice words lady and good work. Ty.
not really about mental health, but about the strong bond of deep friendship.
I relate it to my son, who passed away last year. There are so many situations becoming very personal. Like the sentence from I learned from a French song which says "All boats carry your flag"
I’m so sorry for your loss. ❤
The song was written by till after a good friend of them died.. thats why you can feel the loss in his voice
This video shows me that we don't have to struggle alone, and with the help of others we can reach that ultimate goal. Failure and "shit happens" moments can be met head on with determination and the strength of allowing people within our lives help us move forward.
This song is great because it is a love song from men to men, of brotherhood and fraternity. Showing that you can be strong, and stoic, and loyal, without ever being cruel or violent.
Rammstein is indeed an emotional experience. They make such beautiful touching melodies. If you can, try to visit a show from them. You will never forget the experience. It lasts a life long.
Rammstein have layers and some songs are purposely superficial, Pussy from Liebe ist für alle da being a great example.
@@drb5538Agreed. Some songs are purposefully right up in your face with their crudeness/directness. In those cases they don't mince words.
Like for example "Links 2 3 4" being their answer to the (still) recurring claims that Rammstein are somehow affiliated with extreme right wing, fascist, or neo-nazi ideology. Just because of their often martial image and Till's use of the stage German (which was a theatrical projection technique) abused/used by the little Austrian angry mustache man with the raised right arm. That angry guy really did a number on a very old stage technique. 😤😡 As a German I abhor the moustache guy.
So Rammstein created Links 2 3 4 as a direct answer to those claims. One of a group of one songs that requires NO interpretation as to how Rammstein meant it.😂
I have always loved this song, but after i lost my wife to cancer almost 2 years ago it means so much more and it´s a song that i listen to very often.
Very painfull to listen to but everything he is singing is true. I myself is functioning again but mostly because of our 2 children.
thank you for your videos, i have been watching them all night, and it helped me get in a better place.
Regards Michael
1st just found your channel and shared with my mom who Stuggles and She does and taught me MUSIC is therapeutic but I've been saying how METAL is far deeper than "NOISE" One of my ALL TIME favorite Rammstein songs, Alot of People dont realize Rammstein are TRUE ARTISTS and the depth that is put into thier Videos to help convey the message is timeless and international with or without translation
till nails it and hits you in the feels every time with his vocalizations
Great song and great reaction!
Like many other people are saying, Zeit is a must!
Hard not to tear up watching that video.
Ollie and his daughter... au, mein Herz!
@@LordNelsonkm exacly! 😢
Honestly love how into the metal songs you get. Ive listened to this song for many years, and I never realized the connection between grief, and the birds not singing with the season. Super astute observation. You sound like a great therapist
Love this therapist. She’s so cool at analyzing this powerful music I love and provides a forum for us all to interact and share. Supercool!
When my friend was dying from cancer I would sing this softly to her as we would cuddle on the couch. I lost the closest thing I had to a little sister. My heart actually hurts if I let myself go there too much
From lu2910: @shirazzza I am so sorry for your loss my friend. Grief is such a complex and painful thing to experience, I am sorry your heart is hurting. This is a beautiful song and I know that her hearing you sing this made her final moments happy and peaceful ones. You are very kind and a very loving person, your singing gave her such love.
This song now probably has a very tender and special place in your heart, and through that her memory will never leave you. As you process this grief, let yourself feel the aching hurt and let it run its course in you. All the emotions you are feeling are valid. I am sending you much love my friend <3
@HeartSupport thank you so much. Yeah it's just gone the 2 years since losing her. Today is 6 years since losing one of my fave people in the world. He saved me from all sorts of bad situations. Cancer took him as well
From lu2910: @shirazzza I'm so sorry for your loss. Your friend seemed like a wonderful person and I am here with you as you grieve the loss. The fact that you were able to know them and they were able to know you is a blessing. Holdfast my friend, you are not alone.
3:04 i definitely feel that way. Lost my first love and only true love in 2016 to a car accident. Got the date and her last note to me (the end where she said i love you, - Kayla) and her handwriting tattoed on me and her initials on my thumbs. I'll never find a love like that again. No one has ever made my heart so full and happy and content on this earth. The amount of joy I got from seeing her face is beyond what I can explain into words to anyone else. I've never felt love such as that before or since. And i never will. I'll never heal from her loss. And I'll never be the same man I was when I was with her. The most sensitive, beautiful, loving, innocent, caring, empathetic, lovely creature I've ever come into contact with. I fell in love the first moment I saw her, literally. 2 days later we were dating. I loved her more than anything. And yet. I couldn't protect her. Yet I blame myself for something completely out of my own control. She was too pure for this world. Too sensitive. Too loving. Too innocent. But she still deserved life. The world became darker forever the day she left it. But my god, do I miss every fiber of her being every single day that passes is like breathing in fire and sulfur and sulfuric acid. Like being waterboarded and stung by a 100,000 bees at once every 20 minutes. I love you Kayla. Forever. Let not a day go by I don't carry your memory and feel the immense burden and pain of your passing.
Just got back from athe concert in Frankfurt. It was amazing. Again. Great reaction.
With love from ❤🤘🏻
Beautiful song ❤
Hello, my name is Uwe, I come from Germany and have been a Rammstein fan for 25 years. I really enjoy watching your reaction videos. You get to the point, and I love looking into beautiful eyes. Sorry. One might assume that the song "Ohne Dich" is a love story? But in reality, the song, written by Till Lindemann, is about the solidarity of the band RAMMSTEIN. The words "Ohne Dich" are meant to say that all six band members are only strong together. That without the others, it's not worth making music, continuing their art as it is! One of my particular highlights, Rammstein. Till is the best songwriter I know in Germany! But thank you for your great reactions, please keep it up and more from you! Thank you.
Aber ich finde es sehr interessant, wie man diesen Song ohne Hintergrund Wissen auch interpretieren kann.
Gerade das mit den Jahreszeiten und dem Vogelgezwitscher. Wäre ich nie darauf gekommen. Deshalb schaue ich auch so gerne reaktion Videos von Rammstein Liedern und Videos, da sie jeder anders interpretieren kann. Die Meisten zumindest.
It is a love song, in a way.
@@shyper17This is the love song, not like that other one which states it's not love song.
When Rammstein entered the market in the early 1990 you were branded as a Psycho when you admitted to listen to their music. Meanwhile it is very popular. You are the sweetest Listener i have ever seen. Your reaction is just perfect. Love.
Thanks a lot for your interpretation!
Will be great to see more Rammstein on your chanel.
They have a lot of songs and clips that masterpiece.
I see this track as a search for meaning. And guess what, it works, that's why it's so beloved.
This is one of 5 Rammstein songs I immediatly have tears in my eyes after a few seconds. Even after listening to it the 100th+ time. I love your perfect timing on this reaction, thanks!
Which are the others?
@@micah4973 Seemann, Mutter, Zeit for example and the whole "Live aus Berlin" gig back a few years in 1998. Maybe because this was my puberty 😅
I loved your reaction. The song talks about death but from the perspective of how you prepare yourself to the idea of losing someone but also the person who is going to die, the process of mourning. When you know someone you love will leave this world, you walk all the way down to the end with that person so the transition is peaceful, what you see at the end of the song the person dies in peace with his loved ones around him.
Man I really wish there were therapists as cool as you in my area of PA. Please keep up this awesome work!
I recommend Mutter, it's one of their darkest, saddest songs of theirs. If I recall correctly, it's about a boy who was conceived artificially, and it mirrors the difficult relationship of Til and Richard with their mothers. I'm not if that's the meaning, but I feel it's a good candidate from a mental-health perspective❤
Definitely one of Rammstein's best songs.
Very beautiful song ❤
I'd guess that songs like Angst (fear) and Zeit (time) are right up your alley. Angst is about how people are made to fear others, time is about dealing with loss and having moments you don't want to end, but time passes making events a (sad) memory. In both official video's, the imagery is quite strong. The productions are phenomenal.
Oh... and while exploring... You may want to look at Zick Zack, which deals with the madness of plastic surgery
Mam you´re exceptional in your analysis. I´m native german and you´re translation of the song into your language takes me to a whole other level of understanding what this song actually means. It revitalizes my fate that to completely understand the lyrics of a song you should be able to translate it to another language and explain what you feel about it then. Mam i applaud you for your achievement
It's time for "Zeit".
...and after that, maybe you're ready for "Deutschland". But read some background information about that one first. Otherwise you might (WILL) be confused.
I saw Rammstein in Chicago in 2022. Legendary show
Saw them in Dublin, Ireland in June. Amazing gig, felt the heat from the pyrotechnics!
New subscriber. So glad I found your channel. Rammstein was one of my and late wife's favorite bands. We were only married a year and a half when she passed. Miss her everyday. Music is my therapy. She was my soulmate.
Best reaction!
Best explanation!
Thank you
I rememebe hearign this song like 12 yrs ago and without translation i felt it and i even cried i rmemeber dedicating rhat to my old aelf when a perosn who i was in love with he got htiched while we were together and my friend passed away feom a car accident i never had the chance to go to his sisters wedding bwcause he was in coma and then months later he passed away which was 2012. This song really hits me hard. Thank you ao much for loving this song.❤
Another very beautiful song is "Der Weg" by Herbert Grönemeyer, he lost his brother and his wife within a week and processes his pain in this text. Another beautiful song is by Andreas Gabalier "amoi seg' ma uns wieder", in this song he processes the suicide of his father and his sister, who followed her father shortly afterwards.
Oh man you gotta checkout Zeit by them. Such a great song and a hell of a video as well.
I grew up on Rammstein, actually living near the singers birth town. Rammstein never fails to get me emotional. Especially as a native german speaker because their lyrics can be interpreted in so many ways. They are always playing with the language and i absolutly love it.
#heartsupport It's been nearly 3 years since my best friend passed, it took the heart out of my world, hearing the translation of this song has brought me to tears again. It never leaves you and no matter how long or how far you go a single moment can bring the loss and the pain back. If you know someone who's feeling this then just hold them tight and let them know that they're alone because I can guarantee thats how they feel 😢
From lu2910: @AcidBathFreakshow I am so sorry for your loss. Grief is something that we can think we've processed and the next thing you know, all of the emotions come flooding back in and you feel so devastated and alone. It is a very powerful and very consuming emotion, I understand your hurt my friend.
Know that through my screen, I am giving you a big hug. I have felt similar loneliness to how you are feeling and I promise you that it will not last forever. Although those we lost are not here with us physically, we are not alone. I see those I lost in the kindness of strangers, the wind in trees, and the sky when the sunset is extra pink. Sometimes I will have thoughts like "she would be so proud of me now if she could see me", and those make me know that no one is ever really gone. Their memories will always be with us, and those memories are what help us to live a life worth living that would bring them joy and pride.
I am here and I am grieving with you. I am blessed that someone like your friend was able to know and be known by you, that is such a gift for you both. As you process this grief, know you are not alone. The memories and happiness that you had and felt with your friend will not leave you. Know that I care for you deeply and I feel your grief my friend. You are so very loved <3
From reem182: @AcidBathFreakshow Thank you so much for that encouragement. Everyone needs to know that they are loved, and I want you to know that you are loved and cared for deeply my friend. Dealing with loss and attempting to cope with it is SO incredibly difficult. It's not something we can simply fix with therapy or medication or even a new friendship. That person is gone and it feels impossible to move on without them.
I don't know why we go through things like loss, and I wish I could say the words that would take your sorrow away. But while I don't have all the answers, I want to share what I do know. I know that regardless of how hard it might get and how heavy your grief might feel, you are grieving alongside so many other people right now who also feel similar pains. And while that might not take away your pain, you can continue pushing knowing that you are not alone and that there IS hope and joy in the midst of this loss.
When I've struggled with really heavy situations, I often feel like I have to get past them in order to feel happy again. I've learned that living like that only brings disappointment, because the reality is, our lives are filled with suffering. But we can choose what to do with it. For me, knowing that there is a God who grieves alongside me and offers me eternal love no matter what I am going through has been the only thing that has kept me going. And no matter what you believe, that same unconditional love is available to you too.
Ultimately, no matter where you find yourself today, I firmly believe that joy and peace are not as far as they may seem in this season. You are not wrong for feeling sorrow after three years, and you do not need to overcome that sorrow in order to feel happiness. Right here, right now, just as you are, there is hope and love for you. You are loved eternally and you are NEVER fighting alone. I am praying for you right now my friend, thank you for being honest and for being here.
@@HeartSupport Today is a good day. Thank for such kind words my friend, the truly help a lot. It's hard to grieve as I'm sure you know, even harder when you're alone. We may not know each other ourside of these few words but that you had the kindness to write to me is amazing, it helps and I'm not sure why? Thank you again for writing and I hope, perhaps, we might open a line of dialogue so we can continue talking.
@@HeartSupport Thank you for talking to me, your hug is very much appreciated (I do love a good hug 😊) I think the hardest thing is ehen you catch yourself out and firget that they're gone and then it hits you again, I hate days like that, but I know I have to keep putting ine foot in front if the other and keep going on for her snd for myself, though it is tiring and hard being alone. Your kindness however lights up the path and eases my grief and for that I wish to thsnk you from the bottom of my heart as it helps a lot to know domeone, somewhere is thinking about me.
One of my favorite Rammstein songs. Spring, Zeit & My Heart Burns would be good too as well
I love their songs performed both German and English that's talented. Engel/angel hit different lyrically between translation of both versions. Sonne is a great tune as well.
i lost my highschool sweet heart to the afganistan war this song got me through some of the darkest parts of that grief
We made our wedding entrance on this song. It has a depth both musically and in the lyrics.
Is great musik with a great text. Forever Rammstein!
This song ALWAYS makes me cry. It is so sad, and with me losing my father last year, it is how I feel right now. I have never read the translation, but I have felt it. As I stated before on a video, I have recently been diagnosed as severely depressed and am in need of help.
From runner12: @txmale1977 Thank you for reaching out and sharing. I am so glad you are here! I’m sorry that you lost your dad last year. Losing a parent is an extremely difficult and painful thing to go through. Grief is not an easy road to navigate and there is no one right way to grieve. Reaching out for help is an important step and we are here to support and encourage you. Depression can feel suffocating and overwhelming. Like you’re lost in a sludge of fog with no way out. It can be exhausting and lonely. One thing Ive learned after years of struggling with depression is that the fog doesn’t stick around forever. Despite every fiber of our being telling us it will never end, somehow it always dissipates. A spark of light will appear and that’s when we need to grab on, focus on it and trust that there’s a turning point right around the corner. I truly believe there is hope even when it doesn’t feel that way. Our feelings often lie to us. I pray that you find comfort and healing as you continue to move forward. You are loved and I’m rooting for you!
From bmao: @txmale1977 Thank you so much for bearing your heart to us, not only on this video but on multiple videos. I'm so sorry to hear that you've lost your father. That loss must be crushing- the one who was there to raise you, to teach you, to guide you through life is suddenly no longer here for you, and that is crushing. On top of such a hard period of grieving, you have to navigate the waters of being diagnosed as severely depressed. Life has its ways of throwing curveballs at us that feel so unfair, so uncalled for, and so out-of-the-blue. We're often left standing at the plate, trying our best to swing and coming up short, or just getting hit hard by wild pitches we didn't see coming. These hits can sting for a long time, but eventually the pain will fade. The fact of the matter is- even though we face these curveballs, you are ready for them. You've already made it to the major leagues. All of your life you've been overcoming disappointment, heartbreak, and loss, and though those struggles still weigh heavy, you find the opportunity to grow through the pain every time.
It is also so incredible that you are able to resonate with the power of music through your struggles. Though people will come and go, music will always be accessible. I've personally had some of the most cathartic and recentering moments of my life while crying to music that speaks to my heart. Lean into the power of music. Let it bring out your emotions and don't be afraid to let those emotions climax. We all need a good cry from time to time, especially when we are going through struggle.
Remind yourself that you are strong, you are gifted, and you are equipped to handle any pitch that life throws your way. You can't be taken down by a couple rogue curveballs. You are worthy of the amazing life laid out ahead of you. We at HeartSupport are always here for you if you need to talk more. You are so so loved. Holdfast- we believe in you.
The most beautiful balade of a Hard Rock/Metal band, in German language, ever! ❤🤩
Rammstein - Keine Lust... is also about mental health. I think it is about depression and when you feel "dead" inside and have no more joy in life. And it works a lot with german phrases as well. That gives the song a deeper level
I love seeing how much you enjoy the song :)
I love how you got into that song and suck up the greatness it brings. Greetings rom Germany.
Rammstein is a band without Limits. Every Song is a masterpiece
There is a german phrase "über den Berg sein" which literally means "to be over the mountain", it means you have overcome something difficult to be "out of the woods", Till made it to the top, but not over the mountain.
You should try Meine Tränen, its even more darker and sader
Zeit its perfekt for the channel
Hi Taylor, as 333 comments talk about Rammstein (sorry, i haven't checked them all) I just wanted to point out that I loved your reactions. You are a warm, lovely, empathic person with your heart on the right place.
What you gotta love about Rammstein is the beautifull poetic way to describe horrific events. It is a grammatical contrast. Special examples are Dalai Lama and Spieluhr.
On point👌🏻
so happy to see dalai lama mentioned, its my favorite song and it's so underrated
Rammstein doesn't make touching songs so often but when they do I can tell that hitting different and are top notch masterpieces you should try "stirb nicht vor Mir"(don't die before I do) or mutter and zeit from their last album that actually called same as the song zeit.
What a gorgeous human this is.. bonkers
Yep, the song of hope and overcome. Especially if you loose your weak parts behind and get support to get stronger.
This song carried me through the worst heartbreak I had ever felt. I couldn't listen to any other music for days. The music and the vocals expressed very well how I felt. And the lyrics had another, more personal level for me besides the visible meaning.
Very good analysis. Cheers from Germany.
That song makes me cry every time
The reactions of this channel are fantastic because of the approach it has. Please react to the song Zeit from Rammstein.
Love this song! Thank you for your interpretation.
Rammstein - Zeit is absolute a must! We expect it!
Climbers have a tradition of carving on metal plates the names of those who have remained at the top forever.
You don't need to speak German to feel the grief and loss communicated in this song. It reminds me of losing my dad when I was just 21. I don't think I've ever grieved as deeply and for so long after losing him. It really felt like the whole world had shattered for me and there was nothing that could ever make it whole again.
That's what's great about Rammstein songs, they're so cathartic.
If you watch the "making of" video about this song, the director says that the storyline of the video is that the band are climbing to the top of a place like Mount Everest, where the physical resources needed to get to the top and back are so perilous for the individual climbers that for most climbing expeditions if someone were to be sick the party would simply leave them behind to die because trying to save them will lead to the surviving climbers' own deaths.
In the video not only the man who fell dies at the end, they all die. The other members of the party decide that it is better for all of them to go to the peak and experience it together than to leave one of them behind.
It is quietly decided in the tent that this is a journey that they must all take together even though is will mean that no one makes it back alive.
The man tapping away with the tool is making their headstone, to let future climbers know that no one in their expedition survived, that they chose to die together rather than leave their friend behind.
It's a very powerful video. Rammstein has a very long history of making these miniature blockbuster movies for their songs.
As someone said earlier, you should really look at the video for Zeit. It's absolutely beautiful and it also deals with loss and the passing of time. You should really do another one of these reaction videos for that song.
After watching a few of your clips, i only can say you're a beatifull person. And i can really appreciate your intrest in European culture, from the other side of the world.
May I suggest a cover of a Rammstein song. Seemann with Nina Hagen and Apocalyptica.
Great lyrics and great performance, you'll definitely have a lot of fun with it.
Adieu would be a good choice, it is a very powerful song with a very psychological background !
Rammstein got me through a difficult time with two heart attacks. It was a light on the path, something to do for the mind and soul. And of course, great music!
German here...
I lost my granny 3 Years ago and it hurts like hell every day, till this day. This song hits so hard, I can't even tell. And it hurts even more, when you lost someone you love and understand the words without translation. Espacially the second verse...
On the branches, in the ditches
It is now quiet and lifeless
And breathing is so hard for me
Woe is me, oh woe
And the birds no longer sing
She died due to illness and her age. But that doesn't matter. Death and the loss is still the same. Never forget, that you're loved by someone whose life will be quiet, lifeless and who will miss you with every hard taken breath.
From KyleGouldOfficial: @Frozen_Alive Hi
First off, Yes it definitely hard losing a loved one been through this same issue a long time ago when i was a child still. Quite hard to see them not in our lives anymore if the only thing we can do is move on with continue living our lives. But, the lyrics hit alot towards that emotional being alone without that loved one which is hard but im gonna let you know you're not alone in this and we at heartsupport are here for you.
From OmarM: @Frozen_Alive Hey friend, I'm so sorry for your loss. Losing someone as special as a grandmother is awful. The pain that comes with it can definitely linger for awhile. Music as special as it is can amplify these emotions, especially when lyrics resonate with you. The second verse you mentioned definitely captures the emptiness and silence that comes with losing someone. Please remember that grief isn't a straight line, it doesn't follow a timeline, it's normal to feel the weight of a loss even years later. Your ability to reflect on the love we leave behind is powerful friend, it reminds me of the connections we form with those we love. If you ever need to talk again, don't hesitate to send another message on heartsupport, friend.
I've never spoke.
NA word of German in my life.But I can sing this song word-for-word from beginning to end.That's what I love about musit's absolutely universal
For me this song is beautiful and very sad. He can't live without her, but "mit dir bin ich auch alein"... with you I'm also alone. He can't live without her, but with her he feels also alone. The song is hopeless.
I listened to this song a lot when I lost my sister in 2019. It was a very difficult time for me. I still miss her everyday.
From Gregor1an: @erikahampton7632 Thanks for sharing, and I'm very sorry for your loss! I'm sure listening to this song today brings back some painful memories, but I hope it can also remind you of the love and good times you had with your sister as well.
It's been 5 years and I want you to know it's OK to still miss her every day. It's OK to miss her for the rest of your life. Obviously, I hope that you can (and have) found ways to channel that into positive movement in your life. But I can imagine there are probably some really good days and also some pretty rough ones!
Try to stay positive and moving one step at a time, and please be kind to yourself and give yourself grace. I'm silently cheering you on from afar! :slight_smile:
From Micro: @erikahampton7632 Makes complete sense, friend. For your heart to resonate with this song, especially in light of losing your sister and missing her.
It's so hard to see the years passing by while missing someone you grew up with and shared so many parts of your life together. Losing a sibling cuts deeply, in ways that are sometimes difficult to describe. My heart goes out to you today as you carry this pain with you. I lost my brother in 2018, and I still miss him so very much. It doesn't feel like years have passed since he left - just counting the years that separate us feel absolutely unreal, so much that I keep forgetting every new year how long it's been already. It's like the brain just doesn't want to keep that information sometimes.
Time doesn't move the same way. It's sometimes so very slow, while other seasons it will seem to go by way too quickly. Still, there is a part of you that keeps being somehow in the past, with them, like a film that would be on repeat, where a version can keep hugging them and laughing with them. You feel it deep within when their absence hurts the most.
It's heartbreaking when your are left like this, with a gift of life that sometimes feels unfairly distributed, forced to keep on paving your way without them. It's not how things should be, and not how you could have envisioned it either. I hope through this song and through the love you keep carrying for your sister, you can also feel her presence, her love and care as well. She keeps on living through you, your voice, through this spark of life within and the breath in your lungs. Each and every day. :heart:

It's lovely to hear your take on this song. I am a bit disappointed that the part which has resonated so much with me for about fifteen / twenty years isn't mentioned. "Without you I cannot be, with you I am alone too. Without you I count the hours, without you, with you the seconds stand still, they aren't worth it." It would have been great to hear your thoughts on the second parts of these sentences. With respect, I think you largely misinterpreted this one.
As someone with autism and an anxiety disorder, the lyrics almost perfectly describe how I feel about a romantic relationship. Something I've longed for for such a long time. 32 now, never had a proper one and at this point I don't think I can. I think it'd be too much for me to deal with when so often I can't even deal with myself.
From lu2910: @dystopiawanderer I'm sorry that such a meaningful part of this song has been neglected, it definitely is a beautifully written and meaningful part. I appreciate you sharing and being so open about what this means to you and why it holds such significance. You relate the lyrics very beautifully.
To feel like you couldn't handle a romantic relationship yet to so deeply want one must be so frustrating and isolating. I'm sorry that romance has been such a painful thing for you throughout your life. I want you to know that you are a complete, valid, and amazing person just as you are. You do not become more of a person, better, or any less respected due to a relationship. Think about people in your life who are single, do you view them as less than people who are dating? In our world, there are so many things that take up so much of our time. We have hobbies, work, friendships, family, and so many more obligations that for some of us, a relationship just isn't feasible. One of my good friends has been single since I've known her, and once when we were talking she told me that she was actually perfectly content where she was. She said since she prioritized her work, schooling, and friendships that she currently had so much, she didn't think she had time for a relationship nor did she need one to feel complete.
With all that being said, I completely feel your hurt of feeling lonely. Let me be the first to tell you that you can have a relationship. Whatever lies that the media of anything else might tell you about dating when you have autism or anxiety is a complete lie. The right person will understand you and not let things out of your control get in the way.
One thing that one of my friends told me that has changed the way I look at relationships is "I don't need a relationships, I want one". This has made me realize that you are not a failure for being single, nor are you missing a piece. You are a complete person, and I know that there is much more to your identity and who you are than your singleness, more to you than just your autism and anxiety. You are very loved my friend, even if it is not in a romantic way. I hope that I am able to help you see that <3
@@HeartSupport Thank you very much for your reply. That you took the time to relate means a lot to me. I appreciate you, as I do this channel
I lost my nana and grandad within a year of each other and this is the song I listened to I love Rammstein
Love your analysis
YEEES Thank you for finally listening to my request Taylor
Found Your channel by chance today and I am very glad I did. Of course I subscribed to it immediately. I am from Germany and Rammstein is a great band. "Ohne Dich", "Deutschland" und "Ausländer" are the best pieces in my opinion. Keep the great content coming. I am looking forward to the next one. Greetings from Germany.
One of my favorite songs to sing at Karaoke. I'm living with my ex still, broken up for over two years. The hardest possible path to a friendship, with more chances to lose everything than chances to succeed at simple friendship.
And I'm still heartbroken. It's living death.
From runner12: @caustic_rage Thank you for reaching out and sharing. It sounds like a complicated situation that I’m sure is frustrating at times. Feeling heartbroken everyday is tough and I’m sorry you are dealing with that. You deserve to be healed and to be able to move on so you can live your life to the fullest. I pray for strength and courage for you as you navigate this season of life and are able to discover and recognize hope in your future. You are not alone and we believe in you!
From tepidtooth85_95286: @caustic_rage Hey there!
That is definitely a tough situation to be in, it reminds me a lot of a similar scenario in my family. My Aunt and Uncle split up when I was around 10 and stopped living together, but they didn’t get a divorce. I saw my Aunt a lot as she’s my Mom’s sister, but I didn’t see my Uncle for a long time.
After awhile, my Aunt and Uncle started talking more again, and while they aren’t back together, they have been spending a lot of time together and I’ve gotten to see my Uncle a lot more.
While you move through this season, make sure to not get caught up on the “what if’s. As hard as it may be to let go of the past, it may be needed to move on and start healing.
I’m so sorry to hear of how hard this has been for you, I will be praying for you friend!
You should consider stepping a bit outside Rammstein and check out Till Lindemann’s side project, “Lindemann”. Home Sweet Home ( in English) is also about dealing with loss. “Ich Hasse Kinder” is about the anger surrounding bullying and “Steh Auf” was about a kid dealing with his mother’s heroin OD.
Already knowing the title of the song, this was on my grief playlist after my wife of 16 years passed away,(CF). This is the first time I got the song as a whole in English.
The literal meaning of the lyrics alternate lines saying "I cannot be without you, I count the hours till you're back" and "When you're here I'm alone too. Time stands still. It's not worth it." - it's describing a love/hate relationship, where the singer can't stand to be away from the other person but also can't stand to be with them.
Quite often the video and the song text are orthogonal - they're saying two different things.
One way to understand those lyrics is to understand this as something a junky sings that is on cold turky. The thing he is longing for is not another person but his drug.
Without you, I cannot be, without you
With you, I am alone too (Without you)
Without you, I count the hours without you
With you, the seconds stand still, they aren't worth it
I had a difficult childhood. But someone who was always stable in my life was my grandmother. She died when I was seven. It coincides with me starting to have depression and suicidal thoughts.
I'm 35 years now and at times I'm still straggling with this fundamental loss. I only have a few memories left that I remember, but I miss her so much sometimes.
I live in fear to lose someone I love so much again that it paralyses me at times.
I haven't thought about her in a while, but now I'm here crying again. I guess I'm still not over it and I don't know how to get over it...
From Gabs: @cjane_world Hi, thank you for sharing! Grief comes in many ways and there is no right way to look at it either. I'm so sorry for your loss but she is watching over you and it is okay to miss her in anytime of your life. I can relate to you because I lost my grandpa a couple of years ago and I still grieve for him till this day. For me, it does get better but it doesn't mean I still wont miss him from time to time so I understand how you're feeling. Grieving is complicated but you got this!
From tepidtooth85_95286: @cjane_world Hey there friend,
I am so sorry to hear of your loss and how much of a toll it took on you. I recently lost someone very close to me, and I miss them every day. But as hard as it may be, it is so important we do not allow these losses to paralyze us!
I lost both my Grandparents around the time I started Kindergarten. I hardly knew them, and my memories of them are few and far between. I have often found myself pondering on what it would be like if they were still here, and I have done this even more so with those I have lost around me that I was even closer with since then. But something I realized one day, is that while there is nothing wrong with reminiscing, we must not let it control us. When we let the thoughts of what we could lose or have lost weigh us down, we lose our grip on the present. If we lose our grip on the present, we will miss out on even more than we have lost!! There is so much in this world to explore and so many memories to be made, these thoughts make me recall a few lines from one of my favorite songs:
"Too much time on my hands, I got you on my mind
Can't ease this pain so easily
When you can't find the words to say, hard to make it through another day
And it makes me wanna cry, throw my hands up to the sky
So understand
Don't waste your time always searching for those wasted years
Face up, make your stand
Realize you're living in the golden years"
These lines are from the song "Wasted Years" by Iron Maiden. The song was written by their guitarist Adrian Smith, who wrote it about him realizing how much time he spent away from his family on the road. And as you can see, he came to the same conclusion I am trying to get across: time is precious!! Definitely grieve appropriately, but do not miss out on life's wonders for the sake of what has been! Your life has SO much value and infinite possibilities, now go capture them!!
I dearly hope you can find peace with the loss of your Grandmother, I will be praying for you friend!!
I must admit that for a very long time I only knew Du hast and Engel Ramstein's songs. Some years ago, I started listening every time more and more of their songs and watching their video production, and I became a total fun of them, of their almost entire production, (Some songs could have been spared like "puta" for instance).
Their music, and their video productions as well, it's not only powerful and amazingly full of beauty (they have created their own sound universes) at the same time, but it's really really straight to feelings and strong sensations. It's the kind of music that gets or touches you deeply and ends up affecting you (in my case).
Most of their masterpieces (like this one) are deeply sad, and that's why their music touches me in my feelings and moves me deeply, changing my mud. I guess, because of all fo this, they became my favourite (hard) rock band.
I am a huge Rammstein fan and a lot of their music hits home. But your break down of this video/song brought a tear to my eye. I've had so much loss from suicides to alcohol induced deaths of close and dear Friends. Myself and my brother are all that's left. While he is in Texas I'm in Michigan. I haven't been able to bring myself to date after my divorce.7 yrs ago our daughter died and it was the end of my marriage. She remarried and I just lost all interest. I am so tired of being alone.
From PenArt: @boxtruckjerm8509 I can tell you I haven’t known a worse pain than being alone after knowing wonderful company. A family breaking apart is one of the worst tragedies a person can ever experience. The love in the memories that builds up over time suddenly crashes and shatters into grief. That nice, soft, warm feeling now feels sharp and jagged, stabbing at your heart and makes you choke up. Those fragments still linger, popping up when you hear a song that takes you back to a car trip, or a smell that reminds you of the holidays together, or seeing someone smile like they did. The feelings you had then are polarized into the negative now, feeling like the epitome of pain.
The grief can’t heal unless it’s felt and handled, even if they poke and stab at our hands as we try to piece it back together, and it’s painful, enough to make us cry. And that’s ok! Tears are there to ease the hurt away, help us see what we had and love it again, even when we can’t have it back. Sometimes we fall apart again, and we feel like we have to start all over again, but knowing we *can* put ourselves back together means we can do it again, and again, and again, no matter how long it takes. Reaching out and saying something is a great place to start healing! And I’m so glad you did! Your brother loves you very much, and although there may be physical distance, your strength in your bond brings you very close and should be cared for! You are not alone! You are strong and you are loved! Thank you for being here!
From JBrach: @boxtruckjerm8509 I am so glad that the video hit home for you, that's what it's all about. However, your connection to this unfortunately shows the incredible loss and pain you have endured. I am very sorry to hear about your multitude of losses. I can't image the ache and pain of all of that and only having your brother left, and even he is a large distance away. I want to give you my heartfelt condolences for the loss of your daughter as well. Losing a child is one of those things no one should face. It would feel so lonely and isolated to be one of the sole survivors of so much death. And a break from this loneliness, a companion, doesn't feel possible to you after your divorce.
I feel for you and my heart breaks for you.
There is always hope for new love, but all at your own pace. Take your time with the grieving of your daughter. One day, maybe you will be ready. I am proud of you! Be patient with your healing process. We are here for you along the way!
Wonderful reaction, please do Zeit next..
First off, I love your reactions to some of my favorite music!! You definitely understand the passion and story behind just the sound! Please do reaction to "Passenger" by Deftones
Thanks for this nice translation of that song! For me one of the sadest Rammstein songs is Seemann ! I recommend that song is surly interesting for you!
