The song is a cover of Suzanne Vega's Tom's Diner (1987). This is a collaboration of two German bands: In the first room AnnenMayKantereit (AMK) are playing and Henning May (deep raspy voice) is their singer. And in the second room Giant Rooks are playing, Frederik Rabe is their singer. A little later AnnenMayKantereit join them. AMK does mostly German songs, Henning can also sing without that rasp, his voice is amazing, but I like Frederiks voice even more. Giant Rooks do English songs, even though they are Germans as well. One reason why I love Frederiks voice is their cover of Life On Mars (David Bowie): ua-cam.com/video/slIG7Aes7DM/v-deo.html. And my favorite original song of Giant Rooks is Nightingales Of The Walled City: ua-cam.com/video/4u5pPzAq0i0/v-deo.html . It is a live performance because they haven't released it.
I totally agree, two thumbs up. This cover from Giant Rooks and AMK are out of the charts. Best, it leads us back to the original by Suzanne Vega, and appreciate what she pulled off, even more. And yes, Henning's voice is amazing, and surprising here.
Frederik Rabe (the first Singer) fronts the Giant Rooks and he has a playful voice with a tomboyish attitude in it, while Henning May (the Frontman of AnnenMayKantereit) has this Blues Rock / Hard Rock voice.
The 2nd singer is HENNING MAY WITH DEEP POWERFUL VOICE ,& HIS BAND ANNENMAYKANTEREIT IS IN THE 1ST ROOM. FRED RAME HE IS 1ST SINGER WITH GIANT ROOKS IN 2ND ROOM. NICE BUT I LOVE HENNINGS VOICE AND BAND. ANNENMAYKANTEREIT STARTED 11 YRS AGO AS STREET BAND IN GERMANY & NOW PLAY HUGE ARENAS. THE HAVE MANY COVERS IN ENGLISH: COME. TOGETHER, ROXANNE, SPRINGSTEEN'S I'M ON FIRE, NEIL YOUNG'S THE NEEDLE &THE DAMAGE DONE, CRY ME A RIVER JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE & ELTON JOHN'S YOUR SONG. VALERIE (A DUET WITH NATALIE FINDLEY- UNKNOWN.) IT'S REALLY GOOD. THEIR ORIGINAL SONGS FROM THE LAST 11 YEARS : LEAVIN, SOMEDAY SOMEWHERE, WAITING, YOUR DOOR (S.KANTEREIT IS PLAYING A PERCUSSION INSTUMENT CALLED A KAHOBE WITH HIS HANDS AND A GUEST IS PLAYING A STEEL DRUM (So cool) JAMES (ST JAMES INFIRMARY) LIVE IN BERLIN CONCERT FOOTAGE. ENJOY

AMK, Giant Rooks, both very talented artists. Check out more of their stuff
I know every "Toms Diner"-reaction Video... and all they say "I didn't expect that... I didn't see that coming!"... all of them! ;))
Its definitely not expected, especially when you know the original voice. LOL
What was that VOICE?!
It's a great song to start with but those two voices are stunning!

AMK check out their colas with Parcels - Can’t Get You Out of My Head
