she posted on instagram recently how disappointed she was that she recorded the vocal and then the band turned it into a sort of robot electronic voice instead of her normal singing voice hahaha.
Heavy riff - check Earwormy, yet mellow chorus - check Dark subject - check beautiful imagery in tills lyrics - check Flake synth magic -check Love this song. The wordplay and outright poetry is so strong in this one. Perfect song for a rainy day.
The whole song is a metaphor. The child lies not in the grave, but it has retreated into its room with the music box, because it was tormented and maybe abused by the parents/father. It waits in vain for help from the outside and so the child's soul dies a little more every day. Till wanted to let the child die, but the rest of the band members convinced him to save the little Jacob. That is why he added the verse with the Totensonntag (Sunday of the dead), when the child was saved.
I could be wrong, but in my opinion the meaning of the song is pretty straightfoward. The prologue of the song describes a child whose heart stopped beating (or so it was believed) because "his heart stood still for hours", so it was pronounced dead and buried. But the kid wasn't dead, and he awoke buried in a coffin with a little music box. He played with the music box until someone heard the "melody in the wind" at the graveyard (the music coming from the ground), and said person unburied and saved the child. The translation in the video doesn't help though. There's one part of the video that says "And from the Earth (capital E, meaning the planet Earth) the child sings", but the german word 'Erde' also means 'ground', so the correct translation (in my opinion) would be "and from the ground the child sings". There's also a pretty subtle distinction at the end of the song, where the lyrics say "und auf der Erde singt das Kind" (instead of "und aus der Erde singt das Kind" featured in all previous choruses), which means that by the end the child sings "on top" of the ground instead of "from beneath" the ground, as he was saved, but the translation in the video totally missed this. The video also says "They heard on Totensonntag this melody from God's field", but "Gottesacker" is a graveyard, so the correct translation is "they heard on Totensonntag this melody from the graveyard". Also at the beginning it says "A little person just pretends to die", but what it really says is "A little person appeared to die", or "died just in appearance", there's no pretending here. These little mistranslations add up to make the meaning of the song more confusing or metaphorical than it really is if you take the translation of the video at face value, as far as I can see. It could all be a metaphor, but I don't find any reason to believe that this child dies "metaphorically" due to some kind of abuse, in my opinion is literally a child being buried alive and saved at the end. I could be wrong though, this is poetry after all.
@@rodoxag9117 Rammstein lyrics are highly lyrical and by no means to be understood literally. Rammstein often addresses topics that always take place in secret and society is then always completely shocked when such a case comes to light again. This interpretation I found goes in a similar direction to mine. "This text traces the psychic death, the splitting off of a child who finds himself in the inescapable fate of sexual abuse. The physical symptoms are by no means to be taken at face value but reflect the externalization of the soul from the body, which must save itself from the violent death caused by the abuse. 'Nur der Regen weint am Grab' clearly symbolizes the indifference of the environment to this fate, although 'aus der Erde singt das Kind', it tries to communicate."
@@rodoxag9117 Yes... it's a traditional dark German nursery rhyme put to music. Not every nursery rhyme is a metaphor for something... some are just stories. Many illustrate a principle... others are just fucking stories. Little Miss Muffet wasn't scared off by a child molester, FFS. 🤣 And thanks for those translation fixes ... those make much more sense!
it's from a children song we sing with a toddler sitting on a knee, carefully rocking and then pretend to drop him while catching him last second. German children stories are always very dark. "Hoppe Hoppe Reiter, wenn er fällt dann schreit er....fällt er in den Graben, dann fressen ihn die Raben"
and here we have the connection to what @ToSa 252 stated in another comment. the boy was abused and raped (Hoppe Hoppe Reiter) by its parents over a long period of time, causing his soul to die more and more, only the Spieluhr manages to keep him barely alive
Totensonntag would be translated Sunday of the Dead, a holiday in protestantian federal states in Germany. It's the Sunday before the first Sunday of Advent. The kid's voice is from Khira Li Lindemann, the daughter of Richard Z. Keuspe and Till Lidemanns ex-wife.
This song, i really love it, could listen to it for hours.... on my top 5 best songs ever from Rammstein. I'm glad you enjoyed too (also the kids voice is by Khira Li Lindemann, Richards daughter)
I love this song! I remember hanging out at a friend's house about 8 or so years ago and his older brother and dad really liked Rammstein. They had some songs playing in the house that day and I don't remember a single one of those - except for Spieluhr. When I properly listened to Spieluhr for the first time about a month ago, I immediately got this "wait, I remember this!"-feeling. That's how memorable this song is. Alex did an amazing job on this video! The imagery sets the mood and compliments the lyrics so well. Loved your reaction. I'm hyped for Haifisch coming soon!! ;)
Aaah that must be a nice blast from the past. :) Yeah, Marine knocked it out of the park, yet again. Very relaxing imagery. Thank you for watching and yes, Haifisch is coming soon. :)
Ah, this song is one of my favorites. I used to listen to it a lot when it came out 20 years ago. The kid voice and the synths add such a nice touch. :) "Spieluhr" (lit. "play clock", music box) = SHPEEL-OOR
Yesss!! You already know I love the song and Alex's edit very much. Richard's daughter fits the song so well too, I like the contrast between Till and her voices. I agree, it reminds me of Engel! Thank you for the reaction!
This was my favorite song when i was little . I always asked my dad to play it when he was listening to Rammstein in the car . Haven't heard it in a while , still awesome tho 🤘
I love this song. And although I know my way around poetry and that sort of thing and am always at the forefront when it comes to interpreting Rammstein songs, I have no idea what the song is about. 😁 So at least I don't see the higher real meaning. But it really has to exist, because they don't actually sing about zombies and unreal, unexplainable stuff. But what I can tell you is that the children's choir sings a well-known German children's song. Hoppe Hoppe Reiter is at least the corus of this children song. The rest of it is estranged from Rammstein. Apart from that, a little history lesson without a source and cloudy memory. But I know that I saw this many moons ago. 😁 Zombies really exist, or at least what comes closest to them. Years ago I saw a documentary that dealt with a belief of an indigenous tribe. They buried their choosen people alive. And only released again after many hours. A few survived, but suffered varying degrees of damage to the brain from the lack of oxygen. They could no longer speak, just drooled to themselves and staggered more than they walked. You could call it a zombie.
Tosa mentioned child abuse as a meaning for the song. It sounds very plausible. LoL, interesting "Zombie" story. There's some... interesting practices out there.
I could be wrong, but in my opinion the meaning of the song is pretty clear and straightfoward. The prologue of the song describes a child whose heart stopped beating (or so it was believed), so it was pronounced dead and buried. But the kid wasn't dead, and he awoke burried in a coffin with a little music box. He played with the music box until someone heard the "melody in the wind" at the graveyard (the music coming from the ground), and that person unburied and saved the child. The translation in the video doesn't help though. There's one part of the video that says "And from the Earth (capital E, meaning the planet Earth) the child sings", but the german word 'Erde' also means 'ground', so the correct translation (in my opinion) would be "and from the ground the child sings".

The video also says "They heard on Totensonntag this melody from God's field", but "Gottesacker" is a graveyard, so the correct translation is "they heard on Totensonntag this melody from the graveyard".
fuck - long time ago. we celebratet my son´s birthday .... I played my favourite Rammstein CD - and before this song was played I stopped the CD because my brother in law´s daughter died - a half year ago. That was very hard!!!!!!!
Hopefully at some point you will react to "Schlaf ein" by Lindemann, it is a beautiful song that was written for the play Hansel and Gretel, it is the end of the story and it seems like a lullaby although some interpret it a little darker seeing the dream as the representation of death, the point is that it is very beautiful and you notice the way of singing of Till who seems to be speaking to a child, a kind of story.
The English subs where wrong in the end. He changes one word and sings in the end “and on the earth the child is singing ". on, not from the Earth, as they saved it
This Song is realy nice,i love it! I have a question to you, it seems you are a big Rammstein Fan and i love your Reaction to all Videos to them, did you listen Rammstein Songs in your Car or at Home in Private too? Thanks for a answer :)
You're not the first person to ask me this question. Honestly I do not. I'm too far gone into Techno. I'm used to listen to live sets, usually 1 hour long, with no breaks, been doing so for years. It's hard to go back to single songs. Even on my stream, I always listen to mixes. I can't do single tracks, LoL! Thank you for asking. :)
Hoppe ,Hoppe Reiter,wenn er fällt dann schreit er.Fällt er in den Graben fressen ihn die Raben. That's an old nursery rhyme. Hop, Hop rider, when he falls he screams. If he falls into a ditch, the ravens eat him
This Part, "hop,hop,rider " is wrong.. they're singing " warum hast du mich eingesperrt" - " why you're closing me in here".. it's a Song, about the death of a loved people.. very Hard stuff, if you can understand the different meanings of this Song..

One of the best songs of Rammstein. Very underrated.
Yeah, I loved it. :)
I think Spieluhr and Dalai Lama are tied for my #1 Rammstein songs.
Fun fact: That is actually Richard's daughter singing in the background.
Cool, cool!
she posted on instagram recently how disappointed she was that she recorded the vocal and then the band turned it into a sort of robot electronic voice instead of her normal singing voice hahaha.
Or so goes the story.
@@BrandonPrive1432 I can imagine. I would have been disappointed too. It must have been bad for the child. 😥

it's from a children song we sing with a toddler sitting on a knee, carefully rocking and then pretend to drop him while catching him last second. German children stories are always very dark. "Hoppe Hoppe Reiter, wenn er fällt dann schreit er....fällt er in den Graben, dann fressen ihn die Raben"

Thank you for the explanation. I still find Richard's daughter being named Lindemann pretty funny.
This is absolutely one of my favourite. The perfect song.
:)
for me Rammstein is Germany's biggest gift to the world
Rammstein saved the children
Every time I cry or my eyes comes wet

"Dead children and whatnot." 😆
I never heard this one.
Wicked cool. 🔥
LoL! :D I'm glad you enjoyed it.
That’s one of my top 5 Ramstein songs👍
For the unlikely possibility that one didn´t get it: the piano part is the Spieluhr (music box) sound :)
(I know, its super obvious) :D
I didn't get it, LoL! Missed that one. :) Thank you for the information.
Dark and so beautyful at the same time. Thats my Rammstein 😊
Yup, agreed!
Ah, this song is one of my favorites. I used to listen to it a lot when it came out 20 years ago. The kid voice and the synths add such a nice touch. :)
"Spieluhr" (lit. "play clock", music box) = SHPEEL-OOR
Yeah, agreed. I love the additional "instruments". I actually Googled and listened to the pronunciation of Spieluhr before saying it, LoL!
Yesss!! You already know I love the song and Alex's edit very much. Richard's daughter fits the song so well too, I like the contrast between Till and her voices. I agree, it reminds me of Engel!
Thank you for the reaction!
Thank you for watching, Sanni. Yeah, apparently your bullying has payed off, LoL! I'm glad you agree on the Engel part. :)
one of my favorite Rammstein songs, but underrated ... thanks
I love it as well!
Without a doubt this is my favourite Rammstein song, just something about it moved me even before I knew what the lyrics meant. It's gorgeous!
Well, finally one of my favorite songs !!!! Great
I'm glad you enjoyed it. :)
Really awesome! , I was waiting this reaction 🤟
