Every person with a heart and a brain, gets every time chills, goosbumps. Its the song for all of us. One of their best songs, ever, and i listen to them since.... oh im so old :)
"The Perfect Moment" (Der perfekte Moment) a statement of the text. Every father knows that moment when you get that little new life in your arms. That is the perfect moment. That's why the birth is in the video. (7:23)
Thx for your reaction and this video. The three black figures are the Norns (female beings of fate) from Norse mythology. Their names are Urd (fate), Verdandi (becoming) and Skuld (guilt; that which will be). Their names are considered the Norse equivalent of the conceptions of time common in the Middle Ages in the form of personifications of the past (Urd), the present (Verdandi), and the future (Skuld). The Norns create and control the destiny, even that of the gods. They appeared at every birth to weave their thread of fate by casting lots of wood, weaving a piece of cloth or carving symbols in wood. The three main norns also served as guardians of the Tree of Life, which contains the nine worlds of Norse mythology. Their care only slows the death of the tree, for a cornerstone of Norse mythology is that all things eventually come to an end. All existence will end with Ragnarok.
Great Reaction! 👍 About the three Figures: Norne (goddess of fate in Norse Mythology) In Norse Mythology, the Norns are female beings who determine Fate. Three Women of destiny are mentioned by Name: They are called Urd (Fate), Verdandi (that which becomes) and Skuld (Guilt; that which is to be).
For me it's their ultimate masterpiece. The song and video can emphasize your current emotional state depending how you are handling with time. Just watch it again in different moods.
What a great reaction. That's how I sat infront the monitor when I saw the vid the first time. It is such a great video and one out of three that makes me cry everytime I see it :)
There is no grim-reaper. The three black entities are the three nornes. Representing "fate", "future (what will be), "the future that should be". Norns visit a newborn child in order to determine the person's future. These Norns could be malevolent or benevolent, causing tragic events in the world or can be kind and protective. The women giving birth cannot see the future of their children, that is why they are blindfolded.
I thought they were blind- folded because of the sand! I like your explanation better. But making this video was no easy feat and that certainly includes the sand they used!
Hey great reaction! They are my FAVORITE band! Please do more and welcome to the Rammstein rabbit hole. Oh by the way most people don't realize that the babies are going back inside mom... not coming out. Anyhow please do the song ADIEU! It's from same album and just as cool as this video but way different at the same time. These guys are great. Till the vocalist is actually a fantastic singer and the whole band are great actors as well. Most of their live stuff is mind blowing when you are actually there! I was soooo lucky to finally see them in Chicago back in September. It had been postponed because of covid for two years. Their show was so freaking cool I literally teared up when it ended. Lol I seriously didn't want it to be over. If you didn't know, Till is a professional pyrotechnition. These guys use an insane amount of fire in their shows, and the fire is used in such unique and interesting ways. Example: flamethrower face mask.. yup you read correctly lol. Please do more!!
thanks for making a reaction just like you want. To me it seems like almost everyone out there doing reactions looks at other reactions with lots of views before they do their own. This is authentic an I absolutely love it! thanks
If you are a fan of Details - My favorites are the ticking Clock in the Outro/Credits, how the end gets louder and louder and then you hear the "last breath" Angst has something similiar, where the last image is how the tv is turned off.
Rammstein just took the reactionms from their Deuchland video and saw the comments saying "This is the greatest ever!" and then just went and said "Hold my beer..." imo...
This video gives me goosebumps every time I watch it. Check out "Deutschland" from them, which was from the album before this most recent one. It describes their love/hate relationship with their home country, Germany. The cinematography in Deutschland is equally as astonishing as in this video Zeit.
Zeit wasn't what I had expected at all from Rammstein and certainly not as a first release from the new album. For my own reasons, I felt completely broken by the song and the visuals. I was a sobbing mess by the end and it still catches me when I least expect it. It's such a beautiful, emotional, heart rending but honest song. This is life, and this is death. Death comes to us all eventuality, nothing in life is guaranteed, not even tomorrow and this is a harsh fact. Stunning imagery showing death back to the first moment of life. The death of Ollie's daughter in the video makes me feel cold as a parent - it's not the natural order of things. There's a drumbeat during that scene sounding like a heartbeat that stops as she's taken by the timekeeper. At the end, you hear the second hand of a clock ticking and then the distortion on the guitars sounding like the noise of an entire life and the video then ends with the sound of a final gasp of breath. An absolute masterpiece.
Hi! No, I believe it starts with death and ends with the first breath, only the daughter part is in forward time (I believe backwards wouldn't impact you so much)
I think about the first part (The boat and drowning) is, before they sink, they saw the grim reaper, representing that situations, death, accidents or tragedies can't be avoided, wherever the reapers are, something must happens, cause' that's how time works, won't stop.
also "Mein Herz brennt" the Piano version and in contrast to the heavy stuff maybe "Dicke Titten" which is fun but of course has also a deeper message.
To me, it's a represetation of Time, Death and Inevitability of life. We are marked at birth, whether we have an incling of it or not. Three parts of this video strucks me the hardest. When the child is "unborned" (marked at birth), when they struggle futively against sand and when the kid dies in the arms of the farmer. Because I have a kid of that age and I am at that age of the father, it really hits me hard. ...all I can do is teach my son to manage the world that is thrown at his face.
Found this in the interwebs: Meaning of the 3 figures in Zeit video It's not confirmed anywhere but there is an almost 100% chance the 3 figures (Zeithüter) are directly inspired by "The Norms" in Norse mythology. It's so close to the mythology I'm sure it's not coincidental. Quite beautiful meaning and lots of connections with the video (3 figures, past present future, time, fate, the "sand tree" in the middle with women given birth can be a representation of Yggdrasil (world tree), they are present at birth, etc.). Read the following then rewatch the video, quite interesting! "In Norse mythology, the Norms (sometimes also spelled Norns) are a group of female beings who preside over destiny and weave the threads of fate that determine the course of all events in the world. The Norms are three in number, and their names are Urðr (sometimes spelled Urd), Verðandi, and Skuld. Urðr is the oldest of the three Norms, and she is the one who represents the past. Verðandi represents the present, and Skuld represents the future. Together, they are responsible for shaping the fate of all living beings in the cosmos. The Norms reside at the base of the great tree Yggdrasil, where they spin the threads of fate using the roots and branches of the tree. They are also said to be present at the birth of every person, where they determine the individual's fate and destiny. In Norse mythology, the Norms are considered to be powerful and revered beings, and their actions are often seen as inevitable and unchangeable. However, some stories suggest that certain heroes and gods have been able to influence the Norms and alter their fates, showing that even the gods themselves are not entirely at the mercy of destiny."
Great reaction man! You missed a lot from Rammstein past years, but no front, you still have time to dive into the Rammstein universe... Recommend: 1.) Deutschland (off.video), 2.) Angst (off. video), 3.) Mein Herz brennt (off. video) + 4.) then (piano version)... and many of their live videos from Paris and Madison Square Garden, f.e. 5.) Ich tu Dir weh, 6.) Du hast... Loots more to see dude... go ahead! Greets from Germany 🇩🇪 Stephan...
Great reaction welcome to the rammstein world. You haven't seen anything yet !!! Your next should be Deutschland and then their latest video Adieu!!! Then you should react to their lives which will be the most amazing thing you'll ever see !!! You have a long journey ahead of you.
The three black hooded figures with the unrecognizable faces (the "faces" looking similar to the water in the beginning of the video) are not the grim reaper, but part of the indogermanic myth, representing the three `Nornen´, as they are mentioned in the `Edda´ (my translation is a bit humble, I fear, and of course the myth is a bit deeper): Three women with old knowledge came out of the sea (see video), they are the mythological shapers of the fate of men and gods, and their names are Urd (that what has been), Verdandi (that what is) and Skuld (that what will come) - simple said: Past, Future, Present. So they are the keepers of time (time = Zeit in German) and accompany us from birth to death. They are not evil - they are just part of the world. When the time of your death has come, they cut your "Lebensfaden" (thread of life) - we see this thread leave Christoph´s neck at the beginning of the video, so he died in the water. The water itself and the boat may represent your little nutshell in the ocean of life, Rammstein already had that topic life/ocean in "Seemann", it´s pretty common. The women give birth already knowing the baby is fated to die - so they are shown helpless and angry, facing the tragic helplessness in terms of life and death. Of course the hour glass stands for time passing without any pause. The last scene shows the Rammsteiner looking like Amish people, and reaping - maybe the harvest of their lifes? But whatever sucess they are harvesting - time terminates everything and does not look up at age oder what you want and wish. The girl heads to the call of the Norne, leaves everything behind, with their silent escort becoming a part of the sands of time. And everywhere the sand, nothing is everlasting. Great song, very touching.
you had to be on a concert in the US last year,,,,I was in germany and I m this year in SWI Bern....the best...so you can forget EV....the sound the visual the voice the power from RAMM is the best
Great reaction, this song is very beautiful. Another song you might like is Seeman ( my favorite) the official video and a very young Rammstein, and Spring, there’s an amazing fan made video that is a must- see. All their songs are incredible really. I saw them in concert a few months ago. It was phenomenal! 🤘🔥🔥🔥❤️
LOL you were the first to make the birth scene unrecognizable. Rammstein was also not blocked with 45 million views. Yes yes the prude America always funny.
Great Reaction.👋🤘 Greetings from Germany. The educatedmarine or the Bucksttabu channel has videos with English subtitles. Rammstein - Dicke Titten (Official Video) really funny Rammstein - Radio (Official Video) Rammstein - Rammlied (Live from Madison Square Garden) Rammstein - Mein Teil - (Live Hurricane Festival 2013) Rammstein - Mein Herz Brennt, (Piano Version) Rammstein - Mein Land (Official Video) Rammstein - zick zack (Official Video) Rammstein - Wiener Blut - (Live Wacken Open Air 2013) Rammstein - Du Hast (Live in Paris) Rammstein - Ich Tu Dir Weh (Live from Madison Square Garden)
Rammstein by and large never explain their lyrics, so always remember that comments about what the lyrics truly mean are personal interpretations. With that caveat up front, I see the three characters as time keepers, not the grim reaper or a personification of death. It’s ultimately about the passing of time, how it is inevitable and it’s up to us to make the most of the time we have.
You asked for additional official videos from Rammstein to listen to? From their last album "Zeit" I would recommend (beside those you already reacted to): Zick Zack (Snip Snap) catchy song, sarcastic, funny Dicke Titten (Big Boobs) heavy (most of the time), catchy, funny, credits are funny too (my view) Adieu (Goodbye) dark, sometimes heavy, emotional (The second one is more a fun song than one with a serious message.) Additionally you could take a look at: Radio (Radio) catchy song (with serious background) Last but not least the great (but not nice) video "Deutschland" which has a lot of references to (mostly unpleasent) parts of German history. Video, lyrics, and sound are great (my view) and work very well together. There are also videos from their incredible live performances available (some with good sound quality). But these are mostly straight forward (like "Du hast"). If you are interested, I could also add some proposals for these.
A few to check out... Ich Tu Dir Weh (Live from Madison Square Garden) Mein Teil - (Live Hurricane Festival 2013 Du Hast (Live in Paris) Dicke Titten(with English subtitles)...the best fun video of 2022! Rammlied (Live from Madison Square Garden) Bück dich - Live From Paris 2017 Ich Will (Hurricane Festival 2016) PROSHOT HD (with English subtitles) Links 2-3-4 / PROSHOT(Download Festival 2016) Sonne (LIVE Europe Stadium Tour 2019) [Multicam by RLR] 4K Sehnsucht (Berlin Wuhlheide 1998)
The three creepy figures are called time keepers by Rammstein. Doubtless an referring to the Norns. According to the "Völuspa", Norns (Nornir) are three immortal female figures in pre-Christian, old Germanic/Nordic mythology who sit on the banks of the Urd River at the root of the world ash Yagdrasil and spin the threads of fate for gods and humans. (The three sinister figures in the Rammstein video undoubtedly provide an analogy) The names of the three Norns are: "Urd" (fate / that which has become) She is an old woman who constantly looks back over her shoulder at the time long past. "Verdandi" (Present / The Being) She has the form of a young woman who is always looking ahead. "Skuld" (Future/The Becoming) Unlike Urd and Verdandi, Skuld is an unpredictable force that has no love for gods or humans. She wears a veil and holds a book or scroll in each hand. Her gaze is always directed in the opposite direction of Urd's gaze. The Nornir spin the thread of Fate and life for every human being, and when that thread is severed, the human's life ends. Remnants of this mythology can still be found today in the Germanic/Nordic language area. There is a commonly used saying for a person who is in danger of death. "His life hangs by a thin thread only".
I want to thank you for not looking too shocked or horrified when they show the scenes of the women giving birth. I was already expecting to see a look of disgust or some comment on how they shouldn't show that. So thank you very much for being a mature adult
Adieu, Deutschland, Angst, Zeit are ALL artistically heavy stuff. Eleven years since their last album. Smart review BTW. Didn't feel fake like those who latch on only because other reactors get views and then are baffled and blankly stare, previously watched and fake it, don't care, dishonest, or just looking for clicks. Keep being real. Artistic vision and music should go hand in hand.
The three figures are not "reapers". They origin in Germanic mythology and represent Norns... probably the three major Norns "Urdr" (the past), "Verdandi" (the present) and "Skuld" (the future) which spin the threads of fate at the foot of the world tree Yggdrasil. However, they cannot influence or change the fate of the world or individuals within. They aren't goddesses and are themselves fated.
My interpretation and thought was time goes on like a continuous cycle and those rare occasions when we are truly happy of course we want time to stop. The showing of the sand and hourglass ⌛ time keeps going and them showing the scenes reversing to me meant a desire to go back in time either to the moment of birth and start our lives over or to before we're even born saying no i don't even want to be born i want to go back before i was even conscious of my own existence and mortality. Them being blindfolded to me was no one knows whats going to happen in the future we don't know what kind of lives these babies are going to have.
Another thing that came to my mind is the babies being put back in to the mother to be born again on earth and also coming back in a sense they died on earth and are now being born in the other world and their birth or rebirth on earth is them already starting to die because as soon as your born your dying..your dying to live or as Rammstein put it "Wir sterben weiter bis wir leben" "We keep dying until we live" because in a sense what we perceive as dying is us actually being born again into the other world that's why the girl in the end seems happy when she dies because she knows that her death here means her being born over there..if that makes any Sense? This is art at its finest 🥰
But you know, many videos have close caption in English. You have to watch their other videos, too. Like "Deutschland", "Ich Will", "Ohne Dich", "Haifisch" is a good one, too, "Mutter", "Rosenrot"... "Dicke Titten", too, but you may see some boobs (no nipples).
Why don't you turn on the YT translation I do that here and with many other English videos also I do not understand English and use what YT offers me. By the way, this is also translated.
i love honest reactions, but i must say what for some Ppl. is kinda shocking like the Birth giving situation they just show everything how it is in real life. It´s just the same with the Video "Deutschland". The Video Deutschland is not kinda fiction what some Ppl. thinks it´s about how our REAL German History is about. 😘
Sand is Time , wee all fight against that sand(time) , black creature is grim reaper, when hee come*s for u u going , womens geting birts all around a wourld in a diferent time and place - that is the begining of video but video is bacwards , soldiers kill other soldiers but dosent mater they die to ( time passes for all in the end no winers) . At the end shee gone to eternity .
"This was the best music video that I have EVER seen. Seriously." And yet you felt the need to "improve" it by blurring some parts? Is the depiction of birth such a "shock" (as you said) in a video about time, death and life? Clearly, UA-cam doesn't share your assessment. "Zeit" has been published on this platform for 10 months. Unblurred.
Hi Darryl. I wouldn't use the term improved. I take your criticism, however with this reaction being a product of my channel I take discretion on what I'll show, even if the band does not. If anyone wants to see the uncensored footage they can go to the official video for the song.
hi from germany yeh thats where we came from and is realy natural I understand the oh my god reaction but thats how it was done since millions of years the worst part they showed one part of a woman that is seen sexualy I realy wonder what is sexual in that part of a body that gives life seriosly.we act like kids
⏳ TIME⌛ Some things should Some things shan't(should not) We see, yet we are blind We cast shadows without light After us, there will be a 'before' Out of youth, necessity is born already We keep dying until we live (We) die living into(the)death We drift towards the end No rest, just striving forward Endlessness is waving at the shore Captured in the river of time Time Please stand still, stand still Time This shall go on forever and always Warm body will be cold soon One cannot conjure the future Allows for no stay Creating and destroying immediately I lie here in your arms Oh, could it just be like this forever But the time knows of no mercy Already, the moment is gone Time It is so beautiful, so beautiful Everyone knows The perfect Moment When our time has come Then it is time to go Stopping when things are at thier best The clocks stand still The moment is so perfect But the time keeps running(out) Moment, would you Please remain I'm not ready yet
Every person with a heart and a brain, gets every time chills, goosbumps. Its the song for all of us. One of their best songs, ever, and i listen to them since.... oh im so old :)
"The Perfect Moment" (Der perfekte Moment) a statement of the text. Every father knows that moment when you get that little new life in your arms. That is the perfect moment. That's why the birth is in the video. (7:23)
Thx for your reaction and this video.
The three black figures are the Norns (female beings of fate) from Norse mythology. Their names are Urd (fate), Verdandi (becoming) and Skuld (guilt; that which will be). Their names are considered the Norse equivalent of the conceptions of time common in the Middle Ages in the form of personifications of the past (Urd), the present (Verdandi), and the future (Skuld).
The Norns create and control the destiny, even that of the gods. They appeared at every birth to weave their thread of fate by casting lots of wood, weaving a piece of cloth or carving symbols in wood.
The three main norns also served as guardians of the Tree of Life, which contains the nine worlds of Norse mythology. Their care only slows the death of the tree, for a cornerstone of Norse mythology is that all things eventually come to an end. All existence will end with Ragnarok.
I love your reaction Yee. The best reaction.
Great Reaction! 👍
About the three Figures:
Norne (goddess of fate in Norse Mythology)
In Norse Mythology, the Norns are female beings who determine Fate.
Three Women of destiny are mentioned by Name:
They are called Urd (Fate), Verdandi (that which becomes) and Skuld (Guilt; that which is to be).
For me it's their ultimate masterpiece. The song and video can emphasize your current emotional state depending how you are handling with time. Just watch it again in different moods.
What a great reaction. That's how I sat infront the monitor when I saw the vid the first time. It is such a great video and one out of three that makes me cry everytime I see it :)
There is no grim-reaper. The three black entities are the three nornes. Representing "fate", "future (what will be), "the future that should be". Norns visit a newborn child in order to determine the person's future. These Norns could be malevolent or benevolent, causing tragic events in the world or can be kind and protective. The women giving birth cannot see the future of their children, that is why they are blindfolded.
I thought they were blind- folded because of the sand! I like your explanation better. But making this video was no easy feat and that certainly includes the sand they used!
Hey great reaction! They are my FAVORITE band! Please do more and welcome to the Rammstein rabbit hole. Oh by the way most people don't realize that the babies are going back inside mom... not coming out. Anyhow please do the song ADIEU! It's from same album and just as cool as this video but way different at the same time. These guys are great. Till the vocalist is actually a fantastic singer and the whole band are great actors as well. Most of their live stuff is mind blowing when you are actually there! I was soooo lucky to finally see them in Chicago back in September. It had been postponed because of covid for two years. Their show was so freaking cool I literally teared up when it ended. Lol I seriously didn't want it to be over. If you didn't know, Till is a professional pyrotechnition. These guys use an insane amount of fire in their shows, and the fire is used in such unique and interesting ways. Example: flamethrower face mask.. yup you read correctly lol. Please do more!!
thanks for making a reaction just like you want. To me it seems like almost everyone out there doing reactions looks at other reactions with lots of views before they do their own. This is authentic an I absolutely love it! thanks
Rammstein is a fantastic Band with the best Videos all Time.
I agree - the best video I have seen! Masterpiece!
Finally You Continue reacting on this Band. Good Job on this one.
Thank you for playing our song......Till
Rammstein " Adieu " Good Job in this reaction
If you are a fan of Details - My favorites are the ticking Clock in the Outro/Credits, how the end gets louder and louder and then you hear the "last breath"
Angst has something similiar, where the last image is how the tv is turned off.
It's in reverse - starts with death, ends with FIRST breath !
@@hrma6313 The Video Starts in reverse and end with it, but it is about the Song not the Video. I would disagree, but maybe in a way its both.
Really enjoyed your reaction, they are the best
Rammstein just took the reactionms from their Deuchland video and saw the comments saying "This is the greatest ever!" and then just went and said "Hold my beer..." imo...
My near 80 year old mum loves Ramstein as do i
This video gives me goosebumps every time I watch it.
Check out "Deutschland" from them, which was from the album before this most recent one. It describes their love/hate relationship with their home country, Germany.
The cinematography in Deutschland is equally as astonishing as in this video Zeit.
Warum Hassliebe , wenn man die Geschichte seines Landes beschreibt? Ich denke sie interpretieren es falsch.
Zeit as you've read is time most of the album has an play on it and imo is amazing.
As we say in German: Großartige Reaktion. Danke dafür.
Zeit wasn't what I had expected at all from Rammstein and certainly not as a first release from the new album. For my own reasons, I felt completely broken by the song and the visuals. I was a sobbing mess by the end and it still catches me when I least expect it. It's such a beautiful, emotional, heart rending but honest song. This is life, and this is death.

An absolute masterpiece.
Hi! No, I believe it starts with death and ends with the first breath, only the daughter part is in forward time (I believe backwards wouldn't impact you so much)
Their ultimate masterpiece.
If you want a similar but more postive effect, go watch Anoane from Heilung.
Hugs.
I think about the first part (The boat and drowning) is, before they sink, they saw the grim reaper, representing that situations, death, accidents or tragedies can't be avoided, wherever the reapers are, something must happens, cause' that's how time works, won't stop.
also lyrically Till sang "we die until we live" so the video playing backwards kinda fits it well
You should see their video to "Deutschland", and then "Adieu". You will never be the same reactor.
also "Mein Herz brennt" the Piano version and in contrast to the heavy stuff maybe "Dicke Titten" which is fun but of course has also a deeper message.
A masterpiece
To me, it's a represetation of Time, Death and Inevitability of life.
We are marked at birth, whether we have an incling of it or not.
Three parts of this video strucks me the hardest.
When the child is "unborned" (marked at birth), when they struggle futively against sand and when the kid dies in the arms of the farmer.
Because I have a kid of that age and I am at that age of the father, it really hits me hard.
...all I can do is teach my son to manage the world that is thrown at his face.
Rammstein is Art
"Adieu" pls next
Ehh... WOW!
I got nothing here.... Just got slapped in the face.
This was AWESOME!
OMG
Be safe

Nice Reaction, keep goin. There is always 1 More Good Rammstein Music Track/Video to discover ! :)
Great reaction man! You missed a lot from Rammstein past years, but no front, you still have time to dive into the Rammstein universe...
Recommend: 1.) Deutschland (off.video), 2.) Angst (off. video), 3.) Mein Herz brennt (off. video) + 4.) then (piano version)... and many of their live videos from Paris and Madison Square Garden, f.e. 5.) Ich tu Dir weh, 6.) Du hast...
Loots more to see dude... go ahead! Greets from Germany 🇩🇪 Stephan...
Great reaction welcome to the rammstein world. You haven't seen anything yet !!! Your next should be Deutschland and then their latest video Adieu!!! Then you should react to their lives which will be the most amazing thing you'll ever see !!! You have a long journey ahead of you.
Great is a word synonymous with RAMMSTEIN

The girl heads to the call of the Norne, leaves everything behind, with their silent escort becoming a part of the sands of time.
And everywhere the sand, nothing is everlasting.
Great song, very touching.
you had to be on a concert in the US last year,,,,I was in germany and I m this year in SWI Bern....the best...so you can forget EV....the sound the visual the voice the power from RAMM is the best
great man peace from germany

Yes yes the prude America always funny.

Good old Germany? It dosen't exist anymore.
Im Nebel der Geschichte
Die größte Verschwörungstheorie aller Zeiten.
ORGINALE geheime Zitate wie Deutschland in den 2.WK...So eingeben bei Google. Unser Geschichtsunterricht war für'n Arsch.
Und wenn wir schon bei Geschichtsfälschung sind.
Auf Stein-Zeit Nuked into Reality
Rammstein by and large never explain their lyrics, so always remember that comments about what the lyrics truly mean are personal interpretations.
With that caveat up front, I see the three characters as time keepers, not the grim reaper or a personification of death. It’s ultimately about the passing of time, how it is inevitable and it’s up to us to make the most of the time we have.
There are so many Rammstein Songs left for you to react
Welcome to Rammstein 😊
Adieu and Deutschland are so epic,mini movies😊
Thank you!
Capolavoro...❤
You asked for additional official videos from Rammstein to listen to?
From their last album "Zeit" I would recommend (beside those you already reacted to):
Zick Zack (Snip Snap) catchy song, sarcastic, funny
Dicke Titten (Big Boobs) heavy (most of the time), catchy, funny, credits are funny too (my view)
Adieu (Goodbye) dark, sometimes heavy, emotional
(The second one is more a fun song than one with a serious message.)
Additionally you could take a look at:
Radio (Radio) catchy song (with serious background)
Last but not least the great (but not nice) video "Deutschland" which has a lot of references to (mostly unpleasent) parts of German history. Video, lyrics, and sound are great (my view) and work very well together.
There are also videos from their incredible live performances available (some with good sound quality). But these are mostly straight forward (like "Du hast"). If you are interested, I could also add some proposals for these.
A few to check out...
Ich Tu Dir Weh (Live from Madison Square Garden)
Mein Teil - (Live Hurricane Festival 2013
Du Hast (Live in Paris)
Dicke Titten(with English subtitles)...the best fun video of 2022!

Sehnsucht (Berlin Wuhlheide 1998)
Birth shouldn´t shock people, it´s how we all got here and goes on at every moment everywhere all the time - no need to haze that up
The three creepy figures are called time keepers by Rammstein. Doubtless an referring to the Norns. According to the "Völuspa", Norns (Nornir) are three immortal female figures in pre-Christian, old Germanic/Nordic mythology who sit on the banks of the Urd River at the root of the world ash Yagdrasil and spin the threads of fate for gods and humans. (The three sinister figures in the Rammstein video undoubtedly provide an analogy) The names of the three Norns are:
"Urd" (fate / that which has become) She is an old woman who constantly looks back over her shoulder at the time long past.
"Verdandi" (Present / The Being) She has the form of a young woman who is always looking ahead.
"Skuld" (Future/The Becoming) Unlike Urd and Verdandi, Skuld is an unpredictable force that has no love for gods or humans. She wears a veil and holds a book or scroll in each hand. Her gaze is always directed in the opposite direction of Urd's gaze.
The Nornir spin the thread of Fate and life for every human being, and when that thread is severed, the human's life ends. Remnants of this mythology can still be found today in the Germanic/Nordic language area. There is a commonly used saying for a person who is in danger of death. "His life hangs by a thin thread only".
Thanks!
Watch Tränen - tears.
You really have to check Deutschland from Rammstein. That’s a true masterpiece
Welcome to the Rammstein rabbit hole^^ if you liked @educatedmarine has many of their songs with english subtitels on his channel.
I want to thank you for not looking too shocked or horrified when they show the scenes of the women giving birth. I was already expecting to see a look of disgust or some comment on how they shouldn't show that. So thank you very much for being a mature adult
Excellent comment! Exactly how I feel. It is pure art.
❤
Adieu, Deutschland, Angst, Zeit are ALL artistically heavy stuff. Eleven years since their last album. Smart review BTW. Didn't feel fake like those who latch on only because other reactors get views and then are baffled and blankly stare, previously watched and fake it, don't care, dishonest, or just looking for clicks. Keep being real. Artistic vision and music should go hand in hand.
The three figures are not "reapers". They origin in Germanic mythology and represent Norns... probably the three major Norns "Urdr" (the past), "Verdandi" (the present) and "Skuld" (the future) which spin the threads of fate at the foot of the world tree Yggdrasil. However, they cannot influence or change the fate of the world or individuals within. They aren't goddesses and are themselves fated.
My interpretation and thought was time goes on like a continuous cycle and those rare occasions when we are truly happy of course we want time to stop. The showing of the sand and hourglass ⌛ time keeps going and them showing the scenes reversing to me meant a desire to go back in time either to the moment of birth and start our lives over or to before we're even born saying no i don't even want to be born i want to go back before i was even conscious of my own existence and mortality. Them being blindfolded to me was no one knows whats going to happen in the future we don't know what kind of lives these babies are going to have.
The first scene is them on the river of time?
Nice to see you like it; I recommend "Ausländer" and "Deutschland", both have cool videos
Ausländer is great not only for the video ;)
Look at official video ….DEUTSCHLAND …with full IN + OUTTRO …….. ADIEU ……OHNE DICH …..
why did you pixeld the birth?
my tipp - their last video (small movie 😀) Adieu!!!
Another thing that came to my mind is the babies being put back in to the mother to be born again on earth and also coming back in a sense they died on earth and are now being born in the other world and their birth or rebirth on earth is them already starting to die because as soon as your born your dying..your dying to live or as Rammstein put it "Wir sterben weiter bis wir leben" "We keep dying until we live" because in a sense what we perceive as dying is us actually being born again into the other world that's why the girl in the end seems happy when she dies because she knows that her death here means her being born over there..if that makes any Sense? This is art at its finest 🥰
👍😍
Big props to you for not skipping credits. Big no no for Rammstein videos.
But you know, many videos have close caption in English. You have to watch their other videos, too. Like "Deutschland", "Ich Will", "Ohne Dich", "Haifisch" is a good one, too, "Mutter", "Rosenrot"... "Dicke Titten", too, but you may see some boobs (no nipples).
Why don't you turn on the YT translation
I do that here and with many other English videos also I do not understand English and use what YT offers me.
By the way, this is also translated.
Can't wait for my Battle in me by Garbage request l requested
die geschichte die der clip erzahlt läuft rückwärts !!!!!
i love honest reactions, but i must say what for some Ppl. is kinda shocking like the Birth giving situation they just show everything how it is in real life. It´s just the same with the Video "Deutschland". The Video Deutschland is not kinda fiction what some Ppl. thinks it´s about how our REAL German History is about. 😘
Rammstein= 🐐!!
RAMMSTEIN = 🎵🎥💞😱🎸🎹🎺🥰🎻🎵🎼🧠🧘💔👥️️🤣❤️🩹💥❤️🔥💋🤘🥰🧠❤️🔥🎹👍💋💔🎵🎻👍🎼💥🤘🤘🤌..............
Check their newest video Adieu
Sand is Time , wee all fight against that sand(time) , black creature is grim reaper, when hee come*s for u u going , womens geting birts all around a wourld in a diferent time and place - that is the begining of video but video is bacwards , soldiers kill other soldiers but dosent mater they die to ( time passes for all in the end no winers) . At the end shee gone to eternity .
Well, their name is not Rommstein, it's a as in damn ass Americans.
At least you got the stein part right, many reactors say Rammsteen.
"This was the best music video that I have EVER seen. Seriously." And yet you felt the need to "improve" it by blurring some parts? Is the depiction of birth such a "shock" (as you said) in a video about time, death and life? Clearly, UA-cam doesn't share your assessment. "Zeit" has been published on this platform for 10 months. Unblurred.
Hi Darryl. I wouldn't use the term improved. I take your criticism, however with this reaction being a product of my channel I take discretion on what I'll show, even if the band does not. If anyone wants to see the uncensored footage they can go to the official video for the song.
Hey 🙋♂️
Your chanel is great 👍
I come from Göttingen in Germany. Please react the Video Angst from Rammstein and read the epic lyrics ✌️ ✌️ ✌️
please react to Adieu ❤️
hi from germany yeh thats where we came from and is realy natural I understand the oh my god reaction but thats how it was done since millions of years the worst part they showed one part of a woman that is seen sexualy I realy wonder what is sexual in that part of a body that gives life seriosly.we act like kids
⏳ TIME⌛
Some things should
Some things shan't(should not)
We see, yet we are blind
We cast shadows without light
After us, there will be a 'before'
Out of youth, necessity is born already
We keep dying until we live
(We) die living into(the)death
We drift towards the end
No rest, just striving forward
Endlessness is waving at the shore
Captured in the river of time
Time
Please stand still, stand still
Time
This shall go on forever and always
Warm body will be cold soon
One cannot conjure the future
Allows for no stay
Creating and destroying immediately
I lie here in your arms
Oh, could it just be like this forever
But the time knows of no mercy
Already, the moment is gone
Time
It is so beautiful, so beautiful
Everyone knows
The perfect Moment
When our time has come
Then it is time to go
Stopping when things are at thier best
The clocks stand still
The moment is so perfect
But the time keeps running(out)
Moment, would you Please remain
I'm not ready yet
German quality. The best or nothing.
