My daughter (5) loves it. She says the "schwarze mann" is kinda like oogie boogie and since I don't have her scared of oogie (he usually only eats bad children) she's loving the song so much. ❤ it's her favorite
Just some remarks: The several times mentioned "Schwarze Mann" ("black man") is known as a child fright figure in the German-speaking area ("Wer hat Angst vorm Schwarzen Mann" = Who does fear the black man). Depending on the region and time, it was understood to mean different beings: a dark shadowy figure or a man dressed in black. As a metaphor, the "bogeyman" reached a "peak" as personalization of evil, savagery, and the unknown in the course of colonization, and in the process also acquired a racist connotation. In this context, I find the consumption of those sweets (German so-called "negro kisses") at the end during the end credits very interesting, which work through this "black man" symbolism. Also the colors usage is interesting (Black/White/Red representing the Nazi-color Spectrum). I also found it interesting at the end of the credits that when the TV was destroyed, the color came back into the picture. Further, I noticed that the pie-like plots seen from above correspond to the "political symbol" at the lectern where the singer, wearing a straitjacket, gives his speech. After these borders & plots collapse during the wild shoot-out, the politician, unleashed by the straitjacket to spread his propaganda/fear. Cheering on the cheerleaders is the equivalent of pitching an idea/product and the dancers are slammed with money to sell the bricks and guns to the landowners. This Clip has many layers and can be interpreted in many directions. I see there is a statement on xenophobia and populism/media.
I think that red colour is representing fear. Look for those characters eating the red meal. It might be a metaphor for politicians feasting at people's fear. Till is in straightjacket and as insane man speaks from podium to cameras. He is giving people the impulse to fear. Media creates fear.
The song or the video have it all. Starting from a social environment where education already acts with the means of fear, the media, which indoctrinate people with means of generating fears, can steer and split in any direction so that the clients can control them better. The seducers/politicians...... who, after the preparatory work of the media, as persons of identification, determine the direction in which the fears triggered are discharged and bring in the harvest for their clients, unless they happen to be at the top of the food chain themselves. You can see where this usually leads and at the end it is shown what happens if you cut one of the strings on which you are guided......... Compressing something like that in the short time of a song is awesome.
Very good idea to explore the older songs... Like "Sonne" who's making the outro of "Deutschland"... "Ich will", "Mutter", "Radio"... you have a long list ! Thanks for your reactions. Peace !
It has been always a good day, when listening to Rammstein! ..in my case, i prefer not braking the flow..but i understand.. Love to you both, and all in this channel.. It is the only band i listen to..
I have been trying to explain why I like Rammstein so much and now you, Domenica, found the right words for me: they feed all my needs in music. Thank you! 🖤 And once again I will recommend "Ich tu dir weh" live from Medison Squere Garden for the next reaction. Or "Sonne" (live or official video, both good) which was the ending of "Deutschland", as you mentioned. I love that song so much and it was one of the first songs I heard from Rammstein when they released "Mutter" album in 2001, so it has a special place in my heart, along with "Mutter" song (my no.1 forever) which I hope you'll check too, sometimes in the future. It is one of those slower Rammstein songs (like "Zeit" and "Ohne Dich"), which are really, really something special. Sorry for the long comment! 🙈
Rammstein is pure art. Lindemann one of the greatest poet (german Lyriker) in germany of our time IMO. Sadly, many critics dont understand real lyric, even they are germans. This is also due to their own projection. This is how art should be! ;) PS: their bombastic live-shows are nothing else than modern operas - certainly with intellectual demands
So happy to see you reciewing one of my fabourite Rammstein videos! ♥️I love how much you get involved into interpreteting these videos, especially that you're doing it really well - with passion and charm! This song is - just like you said - a huge comment on the society, where everyone is poisoned with fear since the earliest years. We are being warned from the nonexistant "black man", "boogey man" or however it is called - just like you told, every nation has someone to scare kids! I love the way they showed how people evolved from peaceful suburban dads to paranoic madmen, watching their door with fingers on the trigger! And the last scene, where destroying the media / cutting away from it brings the colours back to your life 😃 I think it is time when you are ready to get deeper into Rammstein's rabbit hole. Some people here recommend you Wiener Blut and Weiss Fleisch - these both are really heavy and you need to prepare well and read the back story on those. So is the "Mein Teil" - you should see the live show of it (the newer the better!) which is amazing, but the backstory is horrifying! I have something else for you: "Mein Herz Brennt". Amazing song with really mind-blowing video, and there is something special about it: there are two offivial videos for that! You should do the both versions in a single reaction, you will love the contrast between them! First one is official music video, available here with Wnglish subtitles: ruclips.net/video/8NohvVK-Qes/видео.html Second one is official Piano version - again, here with English subtitles: m.ruclips.net/video/Qm2lBGvbMjg/видео.html
In my opinion the message is: Don't consume media too much, do not get politics into your head and trust people around you more than media. We're surrounded by "opinion makers", most of them working with fear (Angst).
Really enjoying your rammstein reactions.. looking forward to seeing some of the earlier tracks.. like sonne or ich will.. the music videos have always been amazing
Dear Lady and Gentlemen It is so wonderfull and beautifull to see Domenica changed her Mind to Rammstein, ,knowing that RAMMSTEIN is contraversial , provoking and true art. Thank you
At the end when they sit on the couch, they eat a kind of small chocolate-covered cake filled with foamy sugar, in Germany it was called, before people started to think about racism, Mohrenkopf or Negerkuss. And both of these are translated, not nice (for me as a child that was only a nice sweet thing with a strange name), but i think they want to reach, that people change their minds. Also because of refugees, that we should not be feared of them instead of helping people that ran away, because there was no other chance. I think they want to tell us, dont be afraid of everything foreign. Because of the piano ending, the song is called sonne, but in the video it sounds a bit more Rammstainian :) as at the end of Deutschland
Thanks for listening to another Rammstein piece. I try to give an explanation/my interpretation of the song/video. The two phrases that are repeated multiple times throughout the song "Alle haben Angst vorm schwarzen Mann." and "Wer hat Angst vorm schwarzen Mann?" mean "Everyone is afraid of the Boogeyman." and "Who is afraid of the Boogeyman?" "Boogeyman" is the translation/English version of "schwarzer Mann" in that context. It is an evil entity that's been used to scare kids who don't behave. I assume it's similar to the Romanian "Bau-Bau" which Andrei mentioned. The phrase "Who is afraid of the Boogeyman?" is also part of a kids game that's similar to playing tag. The literal translation of "schwarzer Mann" is "black man" but it's originally not about skin color or race. Schwarz (black) refers to something dark and sinister. But it could have a double meaning so that "Boogeyman" and "black man" are the same, meaning people are afraid of different/foreign countries, cultures and peoples. My interpretation of the video is that the Boogeyman is the media and politicians themselves or he is a creation of them. They use whatever is topical and form it into a Boogeyman for the people. Media (TV, computer) is creating and spreading the fear and the politicians/government (cheerleaders) fuel that fear and are cheering it on while seemingly providing the solution or cure against the fear. Providing the putative safety. They're giving isolation (bricks), violence/protection (guns) and surveillance (cameras) to the people and are selling it as "safety". In the end the people are consumed and controlled by their fear which eventually destroys them. And the figures playing the instruments might represent lobbyism. They're wired and the wires go from their mouths over their heads back to the speaker's desk and stretcher where the crazed man is. The figures (lobbyists) are telling the crazed man (politician) what to say which is then broadcasted by the media into people's minds via TV/computer. At the end Till (the lead singer) is destroying the TV, breaking free of the influence of the media and politicians. Calmness and bliss (color) return to their lives. That scene could also refer to the saying "ignorance is bliss", because they don't want to see people of other countries (the mother and her child) suffering therefore he is destroying the TV.
What a great relationship you have together. Really enjoy your reviews and you never dominate each other. Keep up the Sterling work and I send my blessings 🙌
there is so much great stuff from them it's hard to know where to start. In many cases, the official video is just as worthwhile as the song performed live. In 2 cases there are even songs with videos from fans that should be heard (Dalai Lama & Spring). But Live at Madison Square Garden would be a good choice to start the live experience f.ex. - Rammlied - ich tu dir weh - Engel Greetings from germany
i like how curious people are on rammstein videos because they are fascinated by the style. I see that with you too, it's great to see. Greetings from Germany 😊👋
Yesterday was the release of the song Revelation. This song was the first completely original song by Diana Ankudinova, she herself wrote the lyrics and composed music. Several dozen reactions, all reactionaries are shocked once again, but now not only by Diana's voice, but also by a talent that can create not cheap one-time music, but hits for all time. Meet Diana Ankudinova and her song Revelation.
Great reactions, it's a pleasure to watch you and hear what you have to say about songs :) I highly recommend the song "Donaukinder" about a real ecological disaster
There are several things, that will often happen in Rammstein songs, videos and stage performances. For one there is the thought/question of what is typically german. Then there are often references to cultural things, like popular quotes (mostly not transparent for nongerman people). Since they have been active for so many years, they also do references to their own songs. One idea, that often comes up in their videos, is that they use images, that refer to figures of speech (like the sands of time in "Zeit"), here represented by the ground falling from underneath their feet and the earth swallowing them, the (literal) cheerleading for walls and weapons. Other things of note is the use of color and especially the glowing red, which symbolises the madness and the way it is transferred, eventually they literally eat it up. In the end he destroys the tv and the color comes back to their life. (again a sort of pun - everything is not black and white any more)
This song is basically showing the German equivalent of the boogeyman. In other words, it's a fictional entity that German parents or more specifically, according to the first verse, fathers use to scare their children into behaving as instructed even when daddy is not around to watch them and how we end up doing is developing the practice of guarding ourselves against threats that aren't really out there, this may result in some people being afraid of strangers. This fear can even result in something like group violence or even warfare. Nevertheless, excellent reaction and keep it up, which I know you guys will continue to do so. Rock on! 🎸🤘
And nowadays media is spreading this fear even faster, Til is a speaker in this video and the read cables are conected to the Pc's and the chearleaders sell the stuff for the leader so everyone can protect themself from the fear who is not even there. So Til as the speaker is shown as the one in the straitjacked, so he is the psycho.
Hello Guys, I like your channel. Because you are looking real not making O-Face only. I am German. Eastern-German. I know the history of Rammstein. I know the history of old Romanian Empire Of German Nation -> that relates to "Deutschland". I like how you are obviosuly are impressed by Rammstein. I rellay would like to explain you the meaning of all that songs. The concersts are on - the videos another (greatful one) - the meaning sometimes another one: Hard to understand for foreigners they are not deep involved into German history and also local stories. But finally everybody over the world know´s that songs. Some side information for you: Du hasst mich (you hate me) / Du hast mich gefragt (You was asking me) : sounds in German language very similar - that´s the trick of the song Mein Teil : backside story is a case of cannibalism Rammstein: Sounds harder as Ramstein - is a US-military air base with a horrific accident due an airshow with lot of burned/death visitors YES, Rammstein are no Nazies : LINKS-2,3,4 Mutter: Song against surrogacy (from my interpretion) ... There are all stories behind every song. OK, they are playing with German language and pronounciation and using "stron" wordes / terms and methaphers. I guess it would take many sessions with you together to explain everything. I had a nice evening with you on that channel. Wish you all the best. If Questions to Rammstein, please do not hesitate to ask. BTW: Till Lindemann has also own songs with similar deep meanings :-)
You won't belive me now but you will see: There are at least 30 more Rammstein songs which will blow your mind. Try Ramm4 (live Hellfest 2016), Du riechst so gut (live Hellfest 2016), Puppe (live 2016), Was ich liebe (live Moscow 2019), Ohne dich (official Music video), Mein Herz brennt (Piano version, Music Video), Alter Mann (old song, only few recordings), Dalai Lama (Custom video), Mutter (Paris live), Rammlied (Madison Square Garden live), Seemann (Music Video), Wiener Blut (live Wacken 2013), Weißes Fleisch (live Madison Square Garden), Wollt Ihr das Bett in Flammen sehen (live Paris), Diamant, Ich will (live Hurricane Festival 2016), Hallelujah (live Highfield Festival 2016)
Funny story from my childhhood. "Wer hat Angst vorm Schwarzen Mann?" (Who is afraid of the Boogeyman?) is the name of a child´s play here in germany. When i was a child and we discussed what we wanna play, always someone said let`s play "Wer hat Angst vorm Schwarzen Mann?". One time we decided to play it, but we couldn`t, because noone knew how play it. And i still don`t know today! Always loved Rammstein since the beginning, when we heard the first song "Rammstein" in the mid nineties. It was heavy, dark, banal, bizarre but also funny. I would recommend some really early stuff like "Du riechst so gut"-the official video from 98. It gives a feeling on how they approach their videos and how they developed over time. The official video of "Sonne", also great example for that. And finally "Mein Herz brennt" live, official video or the piano version, all great.
Again as always I absolutely LOVE your Rammstein reactions! If you want to react to something REALLY old, do the video "Seemann". Or the 2016 live version of it. It's a fantastic ballad. And then agian I recommend the video to "Mein Herz brennt" compared to the piano version of the song. Both are perfect!
Hello Domenika and Andrej, thank for all your Rammstein reactions. For us it is so funny, cause we are nearly in the same mood. Till 2017 Lars have to hear Rammstein alone and after Anke was taken to here first Rammstein concert she become a fan. This year we have been on 2 concerts and nearly every evening we are looking Rammstein videos, reactions and concerts at home. Angst has something to do how media can influence you. You asked in two reactions about "easy/funny" videos. To find something without deep meaning is not realy easy. "Pussy" is easy and funny, but you cant show it on youtube. "Du riechst so gut" is easy and one of there early days with an little surprise whome they get for playing the part of the lady. In the end we have to say "you make our day". We love to see your reactions it is a pleasure for us.
Yes, that is it ... they want to provoke you to use your brain, and that's why they rarely give hints or even explanations about what they meant with their songs and videos. I don't know if I remember it correctly but Till once explained that they WANT their songs to bring out whatever your emotion and interpretations feels like, so that will be a different result for different people - same with "Zeit" ... a lot of people tends to be sad for that idea of running and unrepeatable time, while other people explained about some happy and content feeling after watching it. Simple said: That's art! It may come out differently for you with elder songs, and withing the well known and often asked elder songs, there are many that bring up really controversal topics. With that aproach to know they want you to provoke to THINK about it, it's something different, and people who don't know theam and explain they may be sexistic, harsh, glorifying violence or whatever will do them really wrong! Thank you for your reactions - I really love seeing you and listening to your dialogues and different feelings and points to find out! Thank you a lot - I enjoyed :D
Great reaction guys. Here is another Rammstein Classic to listen to - "Du riechst so gut" (translated it means "You smell so good") and you need to watch the official video, it's old (with old special effects) but still amazing and is one of my all time favorites. Would love to see your reaction to it. 🙂
Hi, very happy that you react to my 2 favourite bands Rammstein and Sabaton. There are songs that will maybe too much for some, for ex: Wiener Blut (very dark but true story), Pussy and Buck dich (very explicit), Puppe and Heirate mich (dark lyrics). There are also the solo projects from the singer (Lindemann, which is even more provocative) and the guitarist (Emigrate, which is more focussed on good rockmusic) but both are also great. If you will, defenitly check out more live performances and also the lesser known songs (Donaukinder, Spring, Dalai Lama, Hallelujah, ... I think that these will impress both of you even more). Also a little tip: check out Educated Marines channel for Rammstein videos with onscreen English lyrics. Greetings from Belgium.
I saw sooo many reactions to this song. What i can say is that it has different meanings to different people. For example, for some russians it's about the war against theire brothers in ucraine. For many europeans it's about the refugees expacialy from africa ( black men). For some americans it's about the blm riots in the USA.. For me it' s about how we all where manipulated through the media to have unnecessary fears. BTW new subscriber here.
I see some hard irony in there. In western world, at least, politicians, their brethren from mass propagan...sorry...media and lobbyists who own both of them are all about telling you to fear the flu, the far right, the conspiracy theories and the Russians; while also being affirmative towards third world immigration, blm and war in Ukraine (don't forget, it's Boris Johnson who intervened and urged Ukrainian govt not to arrange a deal with Russia at Istanbul where everything was already set for a peaceful resolution). Still, most of the counterthought (in most cases, shoddily made in order to strawman its own positions into nebulousities - like anti-immigration movements always having a bit of a neo-nazi tone etc) is made by the same elites, because it's easier to establish control and domination over divided people. Y'know, 'divide et impera', as ancient Romans used to say, because these main dividing issues of the current year are, in fact, irrelevant for most of the people who are spoonfed that bs. It's all to divert the attention from more important issues, like inflation, abnormally monopolized markets, and more laws and decrees which curtail everyone's freedoms and rights more and more with government control increasing in an alarmingly Orwellian manner.
Just what i get out of this masterpiece: whats unknown leads to fear, especially when pushed by some interest circles...fear leads to agression...agression leads to violence... violence leads to fear, and so on. We all have to break that repeating circle of mankind history.

Hi! Love the reactions! I recommend trying Mein hert brends, the original and afterward, the piano version. A true testiment to how versitile and unique this band can be. Pozdrowienia z Szwecji!

Well, I have to write one more comment and recommend you one more song, which, I think, will especially touch you, since you are animal and nature lovers. The song is "Donaukinder". 🖤 Educatedmarine has on his channel very nice video with lyrics and introduction.
Hey how’s going. I think you’d definitely like reaction to the warning with their messages in their songs and telling in their music hard-hitting rock.
Watch both versions of"mein Herz brennt". Original and piano version. Same text but different approach and together it gives a better view of the same topic.
Rammstein is a deep Rabbithole :) What I would recommend to you to just watch not to react to is a video of "The Carismatic Voice" on Mein Herz brennt Piano Version... she is a professional Opera singer who performed for a while at the Opera in Dresden Germany ... here in deep analyse of Tills voice and technic opened my eyes even more how amazing and how well trained his voice is and how stunned she was as a trained Opera singer about his perfromance in the Pinao version of Mein Herz brennt. She really compared his perfromance to the most dificult part in Opera switching between talking and singing and keep up the energy while talking, she was blown away how easy Till was able to switch never ever dropping an inch of energy in the transfer.... ruclips.net/video/ZiQ6KfRWOJg/видео.html
You need to check out "Mein Teil" live version.. its about cannibalism.. trust me the live show is something you need to see Btw nice reactions!! greetings from austria 🇦🇹
the Black Man and the boogey man are similar in history. Rammstein plays here with the german reaction in 2015 when a lot of refugees came. It was a media and society play with unreal fears of black young men coming to grab the girls, while in reality we tried to border Europe with new Walls and fences... the TV destroyed brought color back but the mom and doughter are sitting still outside the border - in fear
I.Love.your.reacts.to Rammstein.🥰 Because of you understand the deeper meanings..(not at all but who can? May just Till😉) if you like try "Mann gegen Mann" and the Cooparation with Zaz "Le Jardin des larmes" again suprised by Till's voice -en France- in french-🤩😍😍
Another great reaction, thank you. You are right with that you have to be a bit more an adult to really understand Rammstein. Maybe the younger generation is more focused on the music and someone like me (59 years) is more interesting in the lyrics and meanings. You may have a look/hear on "Donaukinder"! Have fun through your Rammstein journey ☺
It's a shame I can't give this comment any more than one thumbs up! I love the Rammstein doesn't shy away from bringing things that society would rather not highlight, into the spotlight!
@@DrDave541 i´m sure you will have a blast!!! unfortunately they didn´t visit my hometown vienna/austria this year 😞 please scream once "du, du hast..." for me 😎
Another epic video clip and - besides ZEIT - one of my favorites on their new album. And by the way: The translation is wrong. „Schwarze Mann“ translates to „the boogie man“ and not literally to black man. 👍🤷🏻♂️🤘
I really enjoy your journey into the "Rammstein Rabbit Hole". I precede for a little while after having intentionally ignored this Band, mainly because they play with the stereotype of the brutal German we desperately want to get rid off. They are not as big in Germany as they ought to be. The ANGST video imho addresses the actual racial tensions and gun violence in the USA very clearly. As many studies have shown, there is a link between buying firearms and the fact that people feel not safe. The higher the walls, the more you rely on media, which increase fear because that's what brings in the money. A vicious circle ending in violence. The main message is, that our fear from the Bogeyman is irrational. It's a projection of threatening violence to the outside (of our family). You better tear down walls and remove the fences, and stop watching the world through the media. That's my interpretation. (The black man BTW origins in the "Black Death", the Plague. There practically were no or not enough black people around to make skin color an issue of racial violence back in the day). Best wishes from Berlin

Just some remarks:
The several times mentioned "Schwarze Mann" ("black man") is known as a child fright figure in the German-speaking area ("Wer hat Angst vorm Schwarzen Mann" = Who does fear the black man). Depending on the region and time, it was understood to mean different beings: a dark shadowy figure or a man dressed in black. As a metaphor, the "bogeyman" reached a "peak" as personalization of evil, savagery, and the unknown in the course of colonization, and in the process also acquired a racist connotation. In this context, I find the consumption of those sweets (German so-called "negro kisses") at the end during the end credits very interesting, which work through this "black man" symbolism.
Also the colors usage is interesting (Black/White/Red representing the Nazi-color Spectrum). I also found it interesting at the end of the credits that when the TV was destroyed, the color came back into the picture.
Further, I noticed that the pie-like plots seen from above correspond to the "political symbol" at the lectern where the singer, wearing a straitjacket, gives his speech. After these borders & plots collapse during the wild shoot-out, the politician, unleashed by the straitjacket to spread his propaganda/fear.
Cheering on the cheerleaders is the equivalent of pitching an idea/product and the dancers are slammed with money to sell the bricks and guns to the landowners.
This Clip has many layers and can be interpreted in many directions. I see there is a statement on xenophobia and populism/media.
I think that red colour is representing fear. Look for those characters eating the red meal. It might be a metaphor for politicians feasting at people's fear.
Till is in straightjacket and as insane man speaks from podium to cameras. He is giving people the impulse to fear. Media creates fear.
The song or the video have it all. Starting from a social environment where education already acts with the means of fear, the media, which indoctrinate people with means of generating fears, can steer and split in any direction so that the clients can control them better. The seducers/politicians...... who, after the preparatory work of the media, as persons of identification, determine the direction in which the fears triggered are discharged and bring in the harvest for their clients, unless they happen to be at the top of the food chain themselves. You can see where this usually leads and at the end it is shown what happens if you cut one of the strings on which you are guided.........
Compressing something like that in the short time of a song is awesome.
Thanks Harald. I was just about to write something similar and then saw your comment.👍😁
Very good idea to explore the older songs... Like "Sonne" who's making the outro of "Deutschland"... "Ich will", "Mutter", "Radio"... you have a long list ! Thanks for your reactions. Peace !
Ich liebe Rammstein und Till Lindemann 😍❤️
It has been always a good day, when listening to Rammstein! ..in my case, i prefer not braking the flow..but i understand.. Love to you both, and all in this channel.. It is the only band i listen to..
Great Song! 👍
I have been trying to explain why I like Rammstein so much and now you, Domenica, found the right words for me: they feed all my needs in music. Thank you! 🖤
And once again I will recommend "Ich tu dir weh" live from Medison Squere Garden for the next reaction.
Or "Sonne" (live or official video, both good) which was the ending of "Deutschland", as you mentioned. I love that song so much and it was one of the first songs I heard from Rammstein when they released "Mutter" album in 2001, so it has a special place in my heart, along with "Mutter" song (my no.1 forever) which I hope you'll check too, sometimes in the future.

Thank you for another great reaction to another awesome Rammstein musik video 💕💕
Rammstein is pure art. Lindemann one of the greatest poet (german Lyriker) in germany of our time IMO. Sadly, many critics dont understand real lyric, even they are germans.
This is also due to their own projection. This is how art should be! ;)

I think it is time when you are ready to get deeper into Rammstein's rabbit hole. Some people here recommend you Wiener Blut and Weiss Fleisch - these both are really heavy and you need to prepare well and read the back story on those. So is the "Mein Teil" - you should see the live show of it (the newer the better!) which is amazing, but the backstory is horrifying!
I have something else for you: "Mein Herz Brennt". Amazing song with really mind-blowing video, and there is something special about it: there are two offivial videos for that! You should do the both versions in a single reaction, you will love the contrast between them!
First one is official music video, available here with Wnglish subtitles: ruclips.net/video/8NohvVK-Qes/видео.html

At the end when they sit on the couch, they eat a kind of small chocolate-covered cake filled with foamy sugar, in Germany it was called, before people started to think about racism, Mohrenkopf or Negerkuss. And both of these are translated, not nice (for me as a child that was only a nice sweet thing with a strange name), but i think they want to reach, that people change their minds. Also because of refugees, that we should not be feared of them instead of helping people that ran away, because there was no other chance. I think they want to tell us, dont be afraid of everything foreign. Because of the piano ending, the song is called sonne, but in the video it sounds a bit more Rammstainian :) as at the end of Deutschland
Amazing comments. Love your feedback !
did you notice the last scene when he started hitting the tv that the colour changes every time he takes another swing. classic stuff.
Thanks for listening to another Rammstein piece. I try to give an explanation/my interpretation of the song/video.
The two phrases that are repeated multiple times throughout the song "Alle haben Angst vorm schwarzen Mann." and "Wer hat Angst vorm schwarzen Mann?" mean "Everyone is afraid of the Boogeyman." and "Who is afraid of the Boogeyman?" "Boogeyman" is the translation/English version of "schwarzer Mann" in that context. It is an evil entity that's been used to scare kids who don't behave. I assume it's similar to the Romanian "Bau-Bau" which Andrei mentioned. The phrase "Who is afraid of the Boogeyman?" is also part of a kids game that's similar to playing tag. The literal translation of "schwarzer Mann" is "black man" but it's originally not about skin color or race. Schwarz (black) refers to something dark and sinister. But it could have a double meaning so that "Boogeyman" and "black man" are the same, meaning people are afraid of different/foreign countries, cultures and peoples.
My interpretation of the video is that the Boogeyman is the media and politicians themselves or he is a creation of them. They use whatever is topical and form it into a Boogeyman for the people. Media (TV, computer) is creating and spreading the fear and the politicians/government (cheerleaders) fuel that fear and are cheering it on while seemingly providing the solution or cure against the fear. Providing the putative safety. They're giving isolation (bricks), violence/protection (guns) and surveillance (cameras) to the people and are selling it as "safety". In the end the people are consumed and controlled by their fear which eventually destroys them.
And the figures playing the instruments might represent lobbyism. They're wired and the wires go from their mouths over their heads back to the speaker's desk and stretcher where the crazed man is. The figures (lobbyists) are telling the crazed man (politician) what to say which is then broadcasted by the media into people's minds via TV/computer.
At the end Till (the lead singer) is destroying the TV, breaking free of the influence of the media and politicians. Calmness and bliss (color) return to their lives. That scene could also refer to the saying "ignorance is bliss", because they don't want to see people of other countries (the mother and her child) suffering therefore he is destroying the TV.
What a great relationship you have together. Really enjoy your reviews and you never dominate each other. Keep up the Sterling work and I send my blessings 🙌
there is so much great stuff from them it's hard to know where to start. In many cases, the official video is just as worthwhile as the song performed live. In 2 cases there are even songs with videos from fans that should be heard (Dalai Lama & Spring).
But Live at Madison Square Garden would be a good choice to start the live experience f.ex.
- Rammlied
- ich tu dir weh
- Engel
Greetings from germany
i like how curious people are on rammstein videos because they are fascinated by the style. I see that with you too, it's great to see. Greetings from Germany 😊👋
Rammstein ❤🔥
Yesterday was the release of the song Revelation.
This song was the first completely original song by Diana Ankudinova, she herself wrote the lyrics and composed music.
Several dozen reactions, all reactionaries are shocked once again, but now not only by Diana's voice, but also by a talent that can create not cheap one-time music, but hits for all time.
Meet Diana Ankudinova and her song Revelation.
I’ll never get sick of the journey Dominika went on 😁
YOU ROCK, DUDES!!!!
Rammstein hat immer interessante Videos.🙋♂🙋♂👍👍
Rammstein always has interesting videos.
Great reactions, it's a pleasure to watch you and hear what you have to say about songs :)
I highly recommend the song "Donaukinder" about a real ecological disaster
There are several things, that will often happen in Rammstein songs, videos and stage performances.
For one there is the thought/question of what is typically german. Then there are often references to cultural things, like popular quotes (mostly not transparent for nongerman people). Since they have been active for so many years, they also do references to their own songs. One idea, that often comes up in their videos, is that they use images, that refer to figures of speech (like the sands of time in "Zeit"), here represented by the ground falling from underneath their feet and the earth swallowing them, the (literal) cheerleading for walls and weapons.
Other things of note is the use of color and especially the glowing red, which symbolises the madness and the way it is transferred, eventually they literally eat it up.
In the end he destroys the tv and the color comes back to their life. (again a sort of pun - everything is not black and white any more)
Brilliant musicians, lyrical and just the best band imo, great reaction guys thank you 🙏
I'm enjoying your journey discovering Rammstein. I'm in for the ride! You got my subscription!
The Piano Version is *Mein Herz brennt* , greetings from Hamburg .
Love your reactions!!!👌 You two have to react to Rammstein- Donaukinder ( children of the danube ).....such a awesome Song!!!
This song is basically showing the German equivalent of the boogeyman. In other words, it's a fictional entity that German parents or more specifically, according to the first verse, fathers use to scare their children into behaving as instructed even when daddy is not around to watch them and how we end up doing is developing the practice of guarding ourselves against threats that aren't really out there, this may result in some people being afraid of strangers. This fear can even result in something like group violence or even warfare.
Nevertheless, excellent reaction and keep it up, which I know you guys will continue to do so. Rock on! 🎸🤘
I'd say the double meaning is intended though
And nowadays media is spreading this fear even faster, Til is a speaker in this video and the read cables are conected to the Pc's and the chearleaders sell the stuff for the leader so everyone can protect themself from the fear who is not even there. So Til as the speaker is shown as the one in the straitjacked, so he is the psycho.
danke
Es geht nur um die Angst vor farbigen Flüchtlingen. Alles andere ist Gelaber.
@@--Yooh- No. That's your interpretation… one of many. The video quite clearly shows much much more than just this one aspect.
Hello Guys, I like your channel. Because you are looking real not making O-Face only. I am German. Eastern-German. I know the history of Rammstein. I know the history of old Romanian Empire Of German Nation -> that relates to "Deutschland". I like how you are obviosuly are impressed by Rammstein.
I rellay would like to explain you the meaning of all that songs. The concersts are on - the videos another (greatful one) - the meaning sometimes another one: Hard to understand for foreigners they are not deep involved into German history and also local stories. But finally everybody over the world know´s that songs.
Some side information for you:
Du hasst mich (you hate me) / Du hast mich gefragt (You was asking me) : sounds in German language very similar - that´s the trick of the song
Mein Teil : backside story is a case of cannibalism
Rammstein: Sounds harder as Ramstein - is a US-military air base with a horrific accident due an airshow with lot of burned/death visitors
YES, Rammstein are no Nazies : LINKS-2,3,4
Mutter: Song against surrogacy (from my interpretion)
...
There are all stories behind every song. OK, they are playing with German language and pronounciation and using "stron" wordes / terms and methaphers.
I guess it would take many sessions with you together to explain everything.
I had a nice evening with you on that channel.
Wish you all the best.
If Questions to Rammstein, please do not hesitate to ask.
BTW: Till Lindemann has also own songs with similar deep meanings :-)
You won't belive me now but you will see: There are at least 30 more Rammstein songs which will blow your mind. Try Ramm4 (live Hellfest 2016), Du riechst so gut (live Hellfest 2016), Puppe (live 2016), Was ich liebe (live Moscow 2019), Ohne dich (official Music video), Mein Herz brennt (Piano version, Music Video), Alter Mann (old song, only few recordings), Dalai Lama (Custom video), Mutter (Paris live), Rammlied (Madison Square Garden live), Seemann (Music Video), Wiener Blut (live Wacken 2013), Weißes Fleisch (live Madison Square Garden), Wollt Ihr das Bett in Flammen sehen (live Paris), Diamant, Ich will (live Hurricane Festival 2016), Hallelujah (live Highfield Festival 2016)
Funny story from my childhhood. "Wer hat Angst vorm Schwarzen Mann?" (Who is afraid of the Boogeyman?) is the name of a child´s play here in germany. When i was a child and we discussed what we wanna play, always someone said let`s play "Wer hat Angst vorm Schwarzen Mann?". One time we decided to play it, but we couldn`t, because noone knew how play it. And i still don`t know today!
Always loved Rammstein since the beginning, when we heard the first song "Rammstein" in the mid nineties. It was heavy, dark, banal, bizarre but also funny.
I would recommend some really early stuff like "Du riechst so gut"-the official video from 98. It gives a feeling on how they approach their videos and how they developed over time.
The official video of "Sonne", also great example for that. And finally "Mein Herz brennt" live, official video or the piano version, all great.
Again as always I absolutely LOVE your Rammstein reactions! If you want to react to something REALLY old, do the video "Seemann". Or the 2016 live version of it. It's a fantastic ballad. And then agian I recommend the video to "Mein Herz brennt" compared to the piano version of the song. Both are perfect!
Ich will, Mutter, Radio on the way ... 🤟🔥🤗 These Songs are also legend ones
Hello Domenika and Andrej, thank for all your Rammstein reactions. For us it is so funny, cause we are nearly in the same mood. Till 2017 Lars have to hear Rammstein alone and after Anke was taken to here first Rammstein concert she become a fan. This year we have been on 2 concerts and nearly every evening we are looking Rammstein videos, reactions and concerts at home. Angst has something to do how media can influence you. You asked in two reactions about "easy/funny" videos. To find something without deep meaning is not realy easy. "Pussy" is easy and funny, but you cant show it on youtube. "Du riechst so gut" is easy and one of there early days with an little surprise whome they get for playing the part of the lady. In the end we have to say "you make our day". We love to see your reactions it is a pleasure for us.
Yes, that is it ... they want to provoke you to use your brain, and that's why they rarely give hints or even explanations about what they meant with their songs and videos. I don't know if I remember it correctly but Till once explained that they WANT their songs to bring out whatever your emotion and interpretations feels like, so that will be a different result for different people - same with "Zeit" ... a lot of people tends to be sad for that idea of running and unrepeatable time, while other people explained about some happy and content feeling after watching it. Simple said: That's art!
It may come out differently for you with elder songs, and withing the well known and often asked elder songs, there are many that bring up really controversal topics. With that aproach to know they want you to provoke to THINK about it, it's something different, and people who don't know theam and explain they may be sexistic, harsh, glorifying violence or whatever will do them really wrong!
Thank you for your reactions - I really love seeing you and listening to your dialogues and different feelings and points to find out! Thank you a lot - I enjoyed :D
Great reaction guys. Here is another Rammstein Classic to listen to - "Du riechst so gut" (translated it means "You smell so good") and you need to watch the official video, it's old (with old special effects) but still amazing and is one of my all time favorites. Would love to see your reaction to it. 🙂
Great reaction. Thank you.
Hi, very happy that you react to my 2 favourite bands Rammstein and Sabaton. There are songs that will maybe too much for some, for ex: Wiener Blut (very dark but true story), Pussy and Buck dich (very explicit), Puppe and Heirate mich (dark lyrics). There are also the solo projects from the singer (Lindemann, which is even more provocative) and the guitarist (Emigrate, which is more focussed on good rockmusic) but both are also great. If you will, defenitly check out more live performances and also the lesser known songs (Donaukinder, Spring, Dalai Lama, Hallelujah, ... I think that these will impress both of you even more). Also a little tip: check out Educated Marines channel for Rammstein videos with onscreen English lyrics. Greetings from Belgium.
I saw sooo many reactions to this song. What i can say is that it has different meanings to different people. For example, for some russians it's about the war against theire brothers in ucraine. For many europeans it's about the refugees expacialy from africa ( black men). For some americans it's about the blm riots in the USA.. For me it' s about how we all where manipulated through the media to have unnecessary fears.
BTW new subscriber here.
I see some hard irony in there. In western world, at least, politicians, their brethren from mass propagan...sorry...media and lobbyists who own both of them are all about telling you to fear the flu, the far right, the conspiracy theories and the Russians; while also being affirmative towards third world immigration, blm and war in Ukraine (don't forget, it's Boris Johnson who intervened and urged Ukrainian govt not to arrange a deal with Russia at Istanbul where everything was already set for a peaceful resolution).
Still, most of the counterthought (in most cases, shoddily made in order to strawman its own positions into nebulousities - like anti-immigration movements always having a bit of a neo-nazi tone etc) is made by the same elites, because it's easier to establish control and domination over divided people. Y'know, 'divide et impera', as ancient Romans used to say, because these main dividing issues of the current year are, in fact, irrelevant for most of the people who are spoonfed that bs. It's all to divert the attention from more important issues, like inflation, abnormally monopolized markets, and more laws and decrees which curtail everyone's freedoms and rights more and more with government control increasing in an alarmingly Orwellian manner.
"ich will" & "Radio" official studio video should be next please 😊
Salutari din Tulcea si de la un fan din 98 Rammstein
You have to see more of their live stuff!
Just what i get out of this masterpiece: whats unknown leads to fear, especially when pushed by some interest circles...fear leads to agression...agression leads to violence...
violence leads to fear, and so on. We all have to break that repeating circle of mankind history.
I grew up as the son of a milkmaid in Schleswig-Holstein and we didn't have black men. We had to take care of the cattle when we were children!
I love that David Lynch feeling in the credits. It's just perfect.
I think its Haneke)
@@kre_dopeprod.3766 what do you mean?
@@CavHDeu Mihael Haneke movie style. Like 71Fragments or Funny games
@@kre_dopeprod.3766 I know some of his work, but I only see similarities in the used camera angles.
The deliberate use of black and white film, the use of the camera angles, the dreamy music and the spherical and disturbing sound editing have much more in common with David Lynch's style.
@@CavHDeu characters and events in Lynch's movies have nothing to do with reality, society and exist outside of a political context. Where is the media in Lynch films? Where is fourth wall effect?where is the criticism of modern society? I see archetypes in there but that is all. Do u remember сaché film or ending of funny games?
love your reactions 🤘👍 did you know Donaukinder from Ramstein? it's a song about a true sad story .
i love your Rammstein Journey 😍😍🤘🤘
Hi! Love the reactions! I recommend trying Mein hert brends, the original and afterward, the piano version. A true testiment to how versitile and unique this band can be. Pozdrowienia z Szwecji!
"Mein Herz brennt" serdeczne pozdrowienia ;-)
munich has canceled their concert at the oktoberfest meadows in october. That's so typical of this state 🙂 🙂 Greetings from Berlin . Ține-o așa Să ai o seară frumoasă 🙂
Rammstein is a democracy of six they all decide and if one doesn't like it they won't release it.
Rammstein is my favourite band but pls check out: JINJER - Pisces (Live Session) | Napalm Records for something (intresting) 😂
Ich bin als Sohn einer Melkerin in Schleswig-Holstein aufgewachsen und den schwarzen Mann gab´s bei uns nicht. Wir mussten als Kind das Vieh versorgen!
I can recoment "Ich Will" from Rammstein (the original video)
Liebe aus Lübeck
Well, I have to write one more comment and recommend you one more song, which, I think, will especially touch you, since you are animal and nature lovers. The song is "Donaukinder". 🖤 Educatedmarine has on his channel very nice video with lyrics and introduction.
👍😍
This is the best description of sick western society
View the full album "Zeit" by Rammstein.
especially "Adieu" and "Army of the Dreary"
Ihr verstehst es👍

Hey how’s going. I think you’d definitely like reaction to the warning with their messages in their songs and telling in their music hard-hitting rock.
10:46 remember this frame
Watch both versions of"mein Herz brennt". Original and piano version.
Same text but different approach and together it gives a better view of the same topic.
You did so many different moods of Rammstein. Fearful, serious, hard, deep, now do something funny: The video to "Dicke Titten".
Please 🙏 react to Weißes Fleisch und Asche zu Asche by Rammstein
ruclips.net/video/X9IcVi7l5Tc/видео.html
Thank you 🙂
Rammstein este pentru oameni inteligenti si sensibili
Rammstein is a deep Rabbithole :)
What I would recommend to you to just watch not to react to is a video of "The Carismatic Voice" on Mein Herz brennt Piano Version... she is a professional Opera singer who performed for a while at the Opera in Dresden Germany ... here in deep analyse of Tills voice and technic opened my eyes even more how amazing and how well trained his voice is and how stunned she was as a trained Opera singer about his perfromance in the Pinao version of Mein Herz brennt. She really compared his perfromance to the most dificult part in Opera switching between talking and singing and keep up the energy while talking, she was blown away how easy Till was able to switch never ever dropping an inch of energy in the transfer.... ruclips.net/video/ZiQ6KfRWOJg/видео.html
oh and BTW I realy enjoy your reaction videos on Rammstein :)
At it's simplest this song represents " fear of the other " - someone to blame for all your ( or life's ) ills
Aw, you're from Romania? Have you watched "Rosenrot"? The video was made in Transylvania.
Domenica is right when she suggested the song to be about paranoia. Indoctrinated paranoia in this case from childhood on.
You need to check out "Mein Teil" live version.. its about cannibalism.. trust me the live show is something you need to see
Btw nice reactions!!
greetings from austria 🇦🇹
💯
the Black Man and the boogey man are similar in history. Rammstein plays here with the german reaction in 2015 when a lot of refugees came. It was a media and society play with unreal fears of black young men coming to grab the girls, while in reality we tried to border Europe with new Walls and fences... the TV destroyed brought color back but the mom and doughter are sitting still outside the border - in fear
Le immagini..valgono piu' di tante inutili parole..grazie ragazzi❤
You are amazing 👏
Another great song is mein hertz brend. Watch the official video and the piano version video. It's in another level !!!
Thanks for your great video! As a German, I can tell you that my compatriots have paranoid fears of viruses. For some, this slides into fascism.
love your reactions" if you want to see another "deep" video watch "spring" (jump)
I.Love.your.reacts.to Rammstein.🥰
Because of you understand the deeper meanings..(not at all but who can? May just Till😉) if you like try "Mann gegen Mann" and the Cooparation with Zaz "Le Jardin des larmes" again suprised by Till's voice -en France- in french-🤩😍😍
they did it

Another great reaction, thank you. You are right with that you have to be a bit more an adult to really understand Rammstein. Maybe the younger generation is more focused on the music and someone like me (59 years) is more interesting in the lyrics and meanings. You may have a look/hear on "Donaukinder"! Have fun through your Rammstein journey ☺
It’s time to explore some of the earliest RM videos - my suggestion - Mutter

Greetings from Idaho, USA!! Please watch Rosenrot video, I think it was filmed in Romania!! 🥰
Another epic video clip and - besides ZEIT - one of my favorites on their new album. And by the way: The translation is wrong. „Schwarze Mann“ translates to „the boogie man“ and not literally to black man. 👍🤷🏻♂️🤘
I really enjoy your journey into the "Rammstein Rabbit Hole". I precede for a little while after having intentionally ignored this Band, mainly because they play with the stereotype of the brutal German we desperately want to get rid off. They are not as big in Germany as they ought to be. The ANGST video imho addresses the actual racial tensions and gun violence in the USA very clearly. As many studies have shown, there is a link between buying firearms and the fact that people feel not safe. The higher the walls, the more you rely on media, which increase fear because that's what brings in the money. A vicious circle ending in violence. The main message is, that our fear from the Bogeyman is irrational. It's a projection of threatening violence to the outside (of our family). You better tear down walls and remove the fences, and stop watching the world through the media. That's my interpretation. (The black man BTW origins in the "Black Death", the Plague. There practically were no or not enough black people around to make skin color an issue of racial violence back in the day). Best wishes from Berlin
