For me this is a lyrical masterclass, a plethora of very diffrent meanings of the word "halt/halten" in German (all the verses are just composed of this) and the chorus is a nod to Berthold Brechts "Mack the knife". Love it.
"Sharks also cry, but since they live in the ocean, no-one can see their tears". Such a great metaphor: very often we put up a tough, stoic face in front of adversity, and no-one can see we're an emotional mess inside. So true!
A great song about friendship and camaraderie. Rammstein was pretty close to breaking up multiple times in their 30 year history, but probably never more than during the "Mutter" era, where tensions among the six band members were at their peak. The band eventually managed pulled through though and this song is in direct reference to that. Six hearts that burn and keep together. And once one of them calls it quits, Rammstein ends. There are no replacements. It just wouldn't work. The band might be scary looking from the outside, but inside they're all human beings with emotions. Just like the scary Haifisch, whose tears cannot be seen.
both this and "ohne dich" are strictly bound to the band members as they are: a single entity, all together till the end, if any of them leaves or passes away, the R+ experience is definitely over... and they're together for about 30 years, soon... and every week they go to the psychologist together, expecially after the "mutter" events :)
I'm reading a book (my window seats) from Till's mother at the moment, which I'm really enjoying. You know, she was in the audience that night at the MSG. The guys were so nervous that she wouldn't approve of something they were doing on stage. So adorable. ❤. They are doing the crowd surfing, so Till gets a break from being stared at. Till said in an interview, that he needs this break, other way he gets in a bad mood and than one of the other band members suffer😅. You know, Till is very shy and still gets stage fright. With love from Germany ❤️ 🤘🏻
I think there's an official video version with the lyrics. They're inspired by the 1928 Kurt Weill song "Meckie Messer" for a Bertold Brecht play. The song is known as "Mack the Knife" in English, but the words are not the same, there's no mention of a shark in the English language song.
this was Rammstein first concerts in the US for nearly 10 years and Till still suffers from stage fright and if you notice he takes every opportunity to move to the back off stage and stare up at the ceiling etc
Hello, i love Rammstein and all songs from them ! Your reaction is wonderfull and you are very nice ! Greatings and love from germany Eva ♥️♥️🥰♥️♥️🥰♥️♥️
Hi-Fish (shark) ... the lyrics lean towards Bert Brecht´s & Kurt Weill´s "Dreigroschenoper" from 1928 (The Threepenny Opera / Mack the Knife). Listen to "Mack the Knife"-versions from Bobby Darin or Louis Armstrong! 🙂
Oh, the shark, babe, has such teeth, dear And it shows them pearly white Just a jackknife has old MacHeath, babe And he keeps it, ah, out of sight vs And the shark, that has tears And they run from the face But the shark lives in water So no one can see the tears
That's a fantastic song, focused on the band itself ❤ Great performance, yet the music video is so hilarious you should definitely watch it some day... But not before seeing official videos for Amerika, Keine Lust, Ohne Dich, Du Hast, Sonne - many references are present 😉 Have a nice day! ❤
About the "sad" face: Till suffered from extreme stage fright. I assume that's the reason why he sometimes looked "terrified", especially in those moments when he is not singing. Maybe this is also the reason why he oftenly impersonates the characters of their songs. In newer live videos you almost don't see this facial expression anymore. So I guess that he has found a way to deal with this. In the beginning he oftenly used to wear weird goggles to avoid seeing the audience, e.g.: Rammstein (live Bizarre Festival 1996) - ruclips.net/video/6An1z-yuszE/видео.html Regarding to the lyrics, you are right. It's about the camaraderie and loyalty in the band. In their official video they make a joke about themselves by just acting in the oposite way of the lyrics. Haifisch - ruclips.net/video/GukNjYQZW8s/видео.html
There are always serious lyrics come from Rammstein ,sometime you can't hold your tears back.. but thats what make theme so damm good.. Hope you are okey and I like your videos keep on going do this.😊🌹🔥💪🏻
Kids need to learn this why the oceans are salty and tell it to they're teacher 😂.no member of the band can ben replaced.till, flake,Richard, Paul, Oliver and Schneider are Rammstein
Official video of this is awesome , Im sure You will check it soon or later…its about strong bond between band members…they are together more then most of marriages in these times😂 30 years. Thank for reaction ❤
I know…I want to see them again. Don’t know if they’ll tour N. America again, I know they are touring Europe but I can see them always touring in the EU. I feel like this might be their last tour though. It’s been a very long tour and they’ve gone to so many countries that it somewhat feels like a farewell. I hope I’m wrong. Till is touring solo now in N. America, but unfortunately not near me. Well maybe the NY show… it’s general admission!
@@teresas8173 every year I hope that its not the last one…Not last album, not last tour…but when I see Mick Jagger in his 80 jumping on stage…. Till is only 61…still enough time
The music video for it is really cool. If you want to watch it, I recommend you first watch the music videos for "du hast" (have you already seen), "ohne dich", "Amerika", "Keine Lust" and "Sonne". Otherwise it won't make any sense to you, because there are a few sequences from these videos to see. Nice reaction by the way... greetings from germany ❤
@@B-Drags-Den Yes I know. I wrote above that you have already seen it. But the others aren't yet, and in the "haifisch" music video these other videos appear in short sequences. That's why watch the official music videos "ohne dich", "amerika", "keine Lust" an "Sonne" first before watching the official "Haifisch" music video
For intro you could try different thing to find out what you enjoy doing the most ,great reaction I love how involved you are in comments keep it up man.
.and if you want to use the Paris live clips for reactions Rick you go right ahead as there some real bangers on that dvd and are very watchable even for me
@@amyk1769 love that B stage set from Paris 'Buck dich'' , 'Mann gegen Mann'' and ''ohne Dich'' my favorite part of the show and ''wollt ihr Dir bett in flammen sehen'' is epic to
Hi, "Los" is another really good one about themself. There`s a fanmade video with Eng subtitles on "educatedmarine" channel who provides you with nearly all Rammstein"s music videos with subtitles while "buckstabu" provides the live videos. Both channels are happy to be available for reaction videos. They would be pleased to be credited, for example with a link to the original video and a mention in your video description. edit: The "Los" video could maybe be on buckstabu, I can`t remember exactly, sorry. And thanks for cool reaction :)

sorry, misspelled Bert Brecht, his name is of course Bertolt, not like my uncle Berthold

i love telling that story to little children.
