It was the first Peter Fox song after 14 years of nothing
That drop was an _EVENT_
That day was the happiest day since the birth of my son
"Everyone is black, I see the future pink" is a bad translation of this sentence!
A better translation would be "Everyone paints it black/dark, I see the future pink". And 'painting black' means something like only seeing the bad things in something.
Yeah "paint it black" equal future looks negative...
Schwarzmalen translates to to paint a black picture or to catastrophise or to naysay.
What I would like to add: Pink here also stands for woman or pussy, i.e. if the future is that of the woman, then all is well (for everyone!)
By the way, Peter Fox only released 1-2 good songs without his partners from ‘Seed’
@@sveausgoh, ok. Can you name 'em?
About the taxes, I guess it's more a thing of: "yes, I have more than enough, and I'm happy to pay taxes (so that everyone benefits in a better future)"
true
it's actually an initiative in at least Germany and Austria of rich people arguing for higher tax rates on high income and assets
@@Bieberlove yeah but the polititians are like "oh no dont overburden the upper class, they are so precious"
f them lobby boomers
Yea he mentioned it in an interview he means if like he says because he believes in a more equal more fair society
joke is that common people always claim to be for higher tax burdens for the upper class ... but then run into the arms of parties like the AfD which literally proposed tax breaks which massivly favor the rich again in the old trickle down scam populism
the line after "Elon Musk, fuck your Mars project" is also a bad translation.
"Shit cold and sweaty..." in german "scheißkalt und arschweit weg" means something like "cold as shit and fucking far away"
The best thing about this song is that everything is written in present tense, while talking about the future. Peter Fox basically describes a possible future in which everything will be fine. A future in which equality for every human, animal and nature itself has been intergrated in society. All of this tightly connected in a pop-rap song, using common phrases in an ambiguous way. "Viehbauern lassen die Sau raus" for example means that farmers are boisterous (can't find a better translation), but it also means releasing pigs from their stables, or in other words: the end of factory farming. GENIUS
More needed than ever in current times.
regarding the Mars project he said "its cold and too far away". He meant with that something like "instead of planning escape routes to other planets we should invest those resources to save the beautiful planet we have here and form it into a bright future instead of just sending it over the cliff.
This was his solo-comeback after 14 years and the pandemic. He healed many german souls with this positive song and "Zukunft Pink" became a massive hit in 2022/2023. Another great example of his latest album is "Vergessen wie". Try it: ua-cam.com/video/zN91QOmCln4/v-deo.htmlsi=iMTwPURuETNF4Y0_
That song brought me back out after the pandemic 😅
tax me now or tax us now is a slogan used by wealthy people to call for higher taxes. In the United States, millionaires and billionaires have joined forces with this demand in the organization patriotic millionaires. A German-speaking organization has made the motto tax me now its name and calls itself tax me now - Initiative for Tax Justice
You could also call it a poltical movement of rich people to establish fair/higher taxes for the rich
1.The video was filmed in Bucharest. 2. Peter is 53 years old. I last saw him live in a pre-tour concert in 2023. In a small hall and it was great. Take a look at the live videos of him (Peter Fox channel) from 15 years ago.
When you read the lyrics on genius and they have a grey background you can hover over them with your curser and they give you meaning or context for understanding. Love the reacts on music keep them coming :)
the song is as relevant today as it was then, the man is right at the pulse of our culture/society.
"Do it yourself. Bauhaus." is actually from a commercial of a DIY superstore. Their motto is "You have to do it yourself if you want it to be good." That is what he is referring to if you want the future to be good you have to make the future good.
But at the same time, as a person socialized in Berlin, he is making a pop cultural nod to the design movement, whose influences are visible throughout many parts of Berlin.
@Siliceous0oze You're absolutely right.
Ach krass Leute, das hab ich vorher gar nicht verstanden. Danke!
I’m not the artist, but I think you completely misunderstood the line „Tax me now, I‘m a rich mf.“ It’s not about him bragging about paying the least amount of taxes, but instead displaying his readiness to share a higher amount of his fortune with the people, highlighting the idea of increasing the taxes of the really wealthy population.
In Germany, approximately 10% of the population own 60% of the overall wealth. Meanwhile, 9% are in debt and the 20% above that have basically no financial reserves.
5:54 "Where is that in Germany?" Well... it's in Bucharest, the capital of Romania. 😀
In German, there is the common expression of seeing through pink glasses, meaning that one sees the positive in things and the world. I think I've heard it in English too, not sure how common it is. It's the theme of the song, associating pink with positivity and fun.
“Rose coloured glasses” I think is the English version
It's a wordplay on many levels, including the ones you mentioned. However, as he mentions at the beginning of the video ("Women rule the world"), he also refers to feminism and the need for more women to be in charge. The color pink usually is a symbol of feminity so "ich seh die Zukunft pink" also means "I see a better future with women in leadership".
@ True!
Peter Fox & Seeed are dope as fuck 🌳🌳
Man, i love your passion about Peter Fox. You feel what i feel. Because Peter creates something special. I saw him live here in Hamburg (My hometown). And believe me, ít was one of my best concerts. Peter ist so special.
Unbelievable, but he was born in 1971. He must've found the fountain of youth. This song, after 14 years of silence, we missed him.
'Tax me now' is a movement of rich people in germany. They want that rich people pay more taxes to make it fairer
Boar, ich habe versucht das (ewig) in halbwegs verständliches Englisch zu packen und jetzt schreibst du das hier perfekt.
👍
Regarding the tone of the song and his background im pretty sure he meant what he said about taxes, because rich people need to start paying their fair share and not divide society even more(main theme of the song for me). But maybe i read too much into it, definetly fit better tho than an ironic "tax me i can avoid it"
That’s exactly how I interpret it, too.
He said that this is how he means it in interviews :) he wants rich people like himself to pay more taxes
Peter Fox and Seeed are just legends. Pumped them on every party and after years of not releasing any music, he just dropped this song out of nothing. GOAT!
Saw Peter Fox last summer. It was a great concert. Excellent vibes and atmoshere. Bombastic sound and impressive good dancing.
You must come to Germany one day to watch him or Seeed live on stage.
Go and listen to the music of Dellé, the second singer of Seeed. He is great, too.
Just randomly refreshed the page and for the first time ever, a new video popped up😂
OMG I just posted under your previous video that I would like to see a reaction to „Zukunft Pink“ (and 2 other videos) and immediately after that I got the notification for this video😍😂 Thaaank you 🫶🏼
There was a shit storm where they accused him of doing "cultural appropriation" with this song, which is soo stupid if you know him and his work.
He always liked to work together with artists/musicians from different countries and liked that it makes the music landscape even more colourful, interesting and by that powerful to show people influences from around the world by letting it flow into his own music. He is a master and always shows so much respect to the roots of the sounds, like Reggae or in this case the African tunes, and the people and regions where it comes from.
Love him and his first solo album is one of my all time favorites. Have you react to 'Kopf verloren', yet?
I don't think so. Please turn up the bass and then listen and react to this master piece of him. Please ❤❤❤
Here is a link to the lyric video, including english subs.
So, ready steady, go 🤯 (perfect for learning german, to see the lyrics for both languages at the same time and maybe recognize some similarities)
Greetings from "Dickes B" 😉😎
It is a Must have for every one in Berlin City and far beyond greeting from the mothertown (Berlin)
You need to listen to "K.I.Z. - Hurra die Welt geht unter ft. Henning May"
Peter Fox ist one of the greatest musicians in Germany..for decades ❤
dwayneee! new subscriber here! love watching your reactions and listening to you, such a lovely vibe about you! love from germany
I randomly thought about this song earlier today and here we are. Gonna think about a stacked bank account tomorrow.
Love your reactions. The Brandenburg reference is imo rather a comparison to dull, unexplored landscapes. Brandenburg is surrounding Berlin and I think he intended to express that instead of traveling far away,i.e. to Mars, explore the unknown in your vicinity. So, Peter Fox discovered Brandenburg as a rather unknown space right on his doorstep.
And as fun fact or another meaning of Peter Fox' lyrics: Elon Musk actually explored Brandenburg because the German Giga Factory was build in Grünheide. A village in Brandenburg near Berlin.
If you like him singing, You should hear "Haus am See" from Peter Fox. Nice story, healing....Just nice as always🥰
With Seeed i saw him often live at Summerjam Cologne. Peter Fox solo tour last year in Düsseldorf. Summerjam is my safespace festival every year from beginning 96 also with my children. 3 stages, best african, caribian food and a dancehall area
Next up: Peter Fox - EIn Auge Blau
one of my favorites and I think totally underrated. Its pure art, from the beats over lyrics to the visuals.
You often ask for the destination, where it plays. Seeed and Peter Fox is always Berlin. Thats their home town and the centre of their musicial creativity
The video was shot in Bucharest, Romania.
Also, let me suggest you try the deepl translator, imo the best for german/english translation.
I am German and 65 years old. I know Peter Fox since the early 2000s. You should learn about his life and how he struggled back into life after sever health issues.
Supercoole Line. "Hab meinen Avatar gekillt, weil ich selbst zur Party will" - " Killed my Avatar, as i like doing party by myself" . In the future this could make really sense.
Guys like him,and also his music are the best reason to learn German😂😂😂
What a coincidence, just today I was next room to a dance workshop where they played this xD such a good one
@dwayneslens it's such a pity that you didn't find a better translation of the lyrics! Loved your reaction anyways, and your channel in general. The chorus is rather "everyone paints everything black, I see the future pink". As context, there is a bit of a depression in Germany in the last few years, so Peter Fox addressed this directly in his comeback song, with a beautifully positive multicultural song. He paints a picture of the future in the first few verses. Arrived in a transit pod, killed his avatar to experience the party himself, even the "almans" (slang for Germans) know the moves, etc. So he paints a positive picture of the future addressing some of the darker outlooks of social media, retreat from real life, Artificial Intelligence ruling the world, etc.
The Musk one is: why would you go to Mars, damn cold and far as hell. So we should rather look at what we neglect (the state of Brandenburg is sparsely populated and quiet unpopular in Germany). The "taxmenow" is no arrogance at all. He supports the taxmenow movement, which believes that richer people should pay more taxes. There is no wealth tax in Germany currently, which is widely perceived as unfair but politicians don't dare to change it.
The chorus is: "Oh yeah, I see the future pink. If you ask me, everything will be fine my child. Do your thing, but don't search for a deeper meaning. What isn't there, you have to invent yourself."
The other one is "Binge (watch) Pink Mirror and have a drink with it, Ice, Pink Grapefruit and Gin". So it's PINK mirror instead of BLACK mirror (the series). The Drink with Pink Grapefruit just symbolizes summer and positivity I guess.
While I'm at it, I also really liked your reaction to Endlich Nichtschwimmer by Dendemann. There are lots of metaphors and sideswipes that are hard to translate in that song as well. If you like a real challenge, the song "ErSoIchSo" by Dendemann is totally crazy. I'd guess that 90% of Germans don't get the refences in that song. I'm not sure I get all of them after listening to it hundreds of times. And its classic boom bap as well. ;)
just to confirm the others: "All are painting black, I see the future pink" would be my translation
Hi Dwayne, love your reactions to Peter Fox, Seeed and Deichkind 'cause they're some of my favourite Bands.
Here are some Songs, i'm sure you would enjoy as well:
G€ld ~ Seeed
Haus am See ~ Peter Fox
Auch im Bentley wird geweint ~ Deichkind
Keep up with those videos, you're doing a great job and have a lovely attitude.
❤Have nothing against you going on a Peter Fox spree. Nice reactions, love. "Vergessen wie" is also a nice chill song
Slept on this and thanks to you i realized how cold that "new" Peter Fox song is!!!🤙🏼
Toscana Fanboys (feat. Adriano Celentano) · Peter Fox is a nice one
you should give a try to "Seeed - Waterpumpee". enjoying to listen along one of my favourite music scene that came from germany during the 2000-2010's
Dwayne, i know, you will hear that sentence a lot, but trust me,
Torch - Blauer Samt (LP), Any Song..
The lyrics, mindblowing!
Greets and thank you, love your content
I love your p
Peter Fox Reaction. As a german speaking person usualy i give not so much attention on the lyrics and the meaning...so its also new for me.
I would like to see a reaction to Danger Dan - Das ist alles von der Kunstfreiheit gedeckt (Antilopen Gang)
please note that Peter Fox never called himself a rapper. He recently said an interview that this stigma was put onto him. By the way, saying that he is your favorite rapper in Germany is really not that big of a deal as it might seem. The German rap landscape is full of idiots who pretend to be gangster with the same beats the same nonsense texts, and the same nonsense Alpha male charisma. a lot of kids like that. However, in Germany, we have very few really creative artists in the hip-hop game. I wish we had someone like Kendrick Lamar, and I would say Peter Fox is the closest you can have to that. A real artist
He is! The whole album is a banger!
You should give take a look on his work with Miss Platnum - I think, it is worth to take alook on that.
"she moved in" and Marry me"- both still one of my favorites after all this years.
Shows how large his range of making music is.
I guess, a lot of people will agree.
You need to listen to „Sekundenschlaf“ by Peter Fox and Marteria, highly recommend the lyrics!! Thank you so much for your videos, especially the german song videos, my husband an I love it!!
"tax me now im a rich motherfucker" the meaning behind that line is, that he draws attention to the fact that billion-dollar companies should pay higher taxes
My favourite one of his is " Lok auf zwei Beinen. ( Him ) " ( Locomotive on two legs. )
Another few I like are " Music monks ( Seeed )" , " Schwinger ( Seeed ) " , " Haus am See ( Him ) ".
My favorites are all of his old album but the new one is still pretty good, yeah. Check out "Schüttel deinen Speck" (Shake your bacon) :)
You should do "Haus am See", my ohh my. This is a song I listen to still today.
Peter fox really wants rich people to pay more taxes than others even he also hat to be rich. I really respect that. So it was no flex.
Hey Dwayne,
you should definitely try out the Song: Marteria - Kids (2 Finger an den Kopf)
I promise you will love the sound and the lyrics. 😏
If you like this one i bet you'll also like "Lila Wolken"(Marteria) ifyou haven't listen to that yet ;)
I love your hype for Peter Fox and Seeed!
coming from a german
Another Miss Platnum-reference 😉
love this song
Pierre Baigorry, Vincent Graf Schlippenbach, David Conen, Torsten Schroth, Charles Josek, Guy Josek, Louis Jose
he is the best in germany. i agree !!!
Peter Fox ist still 53 y.o.
He is born on September 3rd 1972 . His father is a Teacher from Germany an his mother is french .
As a former Race-Cyclist:
BIANCHI - State of the Art! great Frames! great Mashines!
Italian Racing Culture at it`s finest!
Please have a look at the song "Schüttel dein Speck" by Peter Fox...
Amazing and funny😂🎉😂🎉
Since you're a fan of the beat and the production, please check out everything produced by "The Krauts". They have been with Peter Fox since his Album "Stadtaffe" and have also produced this track. They have also produced "Ding" by Seeed, so you have to check out Marteria - all of his albums were produced by them - and Dendemann's album "Da nich für". You'll find they have a similar groovy sound. In fact, they co-write most of the songs they do production on. Really influential people in German music!
you should react to lila wolken by marteria YOU WILL LOVE!
This is in BUCHAREST in romania. I recognize many places i've been.
*He's got to be the coolest ginger!* true xD
He was very ill a Long time. He sing in a Song about his feelings in this time. That can also a Song be for you
Love your content!
I think the best way to pronounce "Zukunft" is "Tsu-kunft". That would sound pretty accurate.
"Tsu" is probably the easiest way for english speaking nations to pronounce the "Z" the german way.
DANCEHALL CABALLEROS YOU MUST HEAR ❤
I love how you speak over seeed and peter fox from our land germany, please listen to gentleman or d flame they doing dancehall in german language and patois ,we love ragga,dancehall,jamaican Sounds.....best greetings the old seeed concerts are legendary,but today is not so so the same its sad,but until today legendary, some members from the group are died very sad.....peter fox is big
Everything's said so far. So just let me tell you, for me you're the cutest, honest and funniest Music Reactor on YT. And tbh maybe I have a little crush on you. 😉
Please do "Schüttel dein' Speck" next. I'd love to see you read the lyrics of that one.😂
Thank you for the video! I'd love to see you react to "Ein Auge Blau" by Peter Fox. It's one of my favorites and also quite recent
Hey man i love your content and the good vibes ! You should really really really check out this old track " Beginner - K Zwo "
"Bei dir" by Kummer is another great song you should react to when you get the chance! It has such a great music video wich really adds to the already great lyrics. Big recommendation for you to watch :)
The video was filmed in Bukarest, the capital of Romania.
Thank you ❤❤❤
I´m normally not into rap/hip hop at all, but Peter Fox is my big exeption! Try "weiße Fahnen" from his last album! I hope there are translated lyrics, because they are so good!
Nice reaction for a great song. You should react to „Haus am See“ or to „Come marry me“ ( Miss Platnum ft. Peter Fox) which is a great track with a nice clip too.
Love your vids👌i'm wondering that there is no reaction video to "samy deluxe" . He's a german rap legend. If you are interested please take a look at the track -poesie album-
I think they confused "Alle sehen schwarz" (everyone sees black = the future is dark/ no light at the end of the tunnel) with "Alle sind schwarz" meaning everyone is black.
Konzertkarten für Peter Fox hätten wir auch gerne. Du musst den Computer schon fertig vorbereitet haben, wenn der Vorverkauf beginnt. Dann hast du vielleicht 5 Minuten bis alles weg ist.🤣
Peter Fox is awesome.
"Tax me now! I'm a rich motherf" refers to a left wing statement "Tax the rich" or "Eat the rich" to get a equal status of living for everyone. Like take from the rich and put it down to the people"
Time to also check out Seeed live. They have the almost complete set of the 2015 Lollapalooza set on the Seeed channel.
You listened to Alles neu so the live version is here
Live Alles neu (Remix) + Alles Neu: ua-cam.com/video/QGlyLVvzIXg/v-deo.html
If you want to hear Peter Fox sing in english, this is a good track
Live Waterpumpee ua-cam.com/video/QGlyLVvzIXg/v-deo.html
and pretty much the encore highlight:
Live Schüttel deinen Speck (fest. Cold Steel Drumline) ua-cam.com/video/QGlyLVvzIXg/v-deo.html
And if you really go to a Seeed or Peter Fox-Concert, than it HAS to be one in Berlin. Thank me later 😉
* 3. September 1971 in West-Berlin (53 yo)
I do not know how you would say it in English, but basically the first line means "everyone is painting a dark future (painting the future in black), but I see the the future in pink (bright colors, more female colors in this case maybe?)"
Gönn dir Peter fox feat. Marteria - Sekundenschlaf. An older one.
Great Song, deep massage and sick musicvideo. Typicle Peter fox
This! Aaaand: the Rapper „Marteria“ (and his Alter Ego „Marsimoto“ are reaction worthy too!
Please please check out Nina Chuba!!! (Mangos mit Chilli/ Glatteis/ Feminello/ Nina/ 80qm). She is one of the greatest young German talents and you can hear her love for Peter Fox in her music so much! You would love her!
They made the sound
My songtipp for you:
Die Ärzte with their song "lass reden" ^^
I want to hear Stadtaffe from Peter. ... for me this is THE Song
The Elon Musk line is about that instead of waiting for Mars to be liveable we try to solve issues like environment pollution at home, too. Most of the things Peter says are about issues in Germany, that many other countries share, like the rich not getting taxed like they should or the rise of hate against members of LGBTQ-communities. The line about Brandenburg could also be a reference to young people leaving the countryside to live in big cities, which results in those smaller communities dying. And the whole thing is about staying optimistic even when it looks dire.

"He's your guy". Yes. Yes, he is.
Best in Berlin/ Germany
Peter Fox has always something social to support, if he says "tax me, I'm a rich motherfucker" his message is clearly to the rich motherfuckers, that they should be taxed for the benefit of everyone - there is nothing to loose, so why not. take that easy
listen to bilderbuch - maschine...not german but from austria
