12:06 It took me almost 20 years to figure out what the song actually is about. As a child, I did not really get it. Later and when I learned that his wife died, and after having some negative phases in my own life, I started to understand. The song seemingly about enyoing life, is in between the lines about being absolutely devastated, trying to cope with it by telling yourself that everything is fine, while it's actually not fine at all. Every verse, he sings about how nice it is, is broken, as he puts the ending line always with the actual conclusion: "I miss you", he repeats that over and over. Or like the part when he sings about the blue sky, while not paying his bills. Superficially it looks like he was carefree, but it actually points out that he is/was so depressed and sad, he could not even get his daily chores done .
Under the video itself it says there were 65,000 viewers. Today this arena can hold up to 80,000 people for concerts. Grönemeyer's album "4630 Bochum" - the 4630 is the zip code at the time - was released in 1984 and he grew up in Bochum. This album was his commercial breakthrough. He has released 17 albums to date. The album "Mensch" is his most commercially successful album with 3.6 million records sold. He recorded it in London, where he retreated after the death of his brother and his wife a short time later. He started making music again because he was afraid of losing it too.
His popularity originally came from playing a supported role in "Das Boot" directed by Wolfgang Petersen. When he was asked what his further long plans would be, he answered that he wanted to concentrate on his core talent to be a musician! Germany was shocked because nobody had ever heard of him as a musician. Well, well we all thought, that he was crazy! With much of luck he got a role in one of the most iconic movies of all time! And then he told us that he wasn't an actor but more a musician!
His album "Mensch" (< "human") is the 2nd most sold album in Germany. Also he sold 19 million records in a country with 80 millionen people < means: almost every household own a record of him. At least - as his songs are played on the radio - everybody in Germany "heard" of him as his songs are aired since 40+ years. Good for you: As Germany has the third largest music market on this planet - there is still a lot to discover! ... of every music genre! :)
@@tinisunblueThe O.S.T. of "Dirty Dancing" was sold more often in Germany. To be fair: it's kind of a sampler, but registered as album. < which is NOT my fault btw! :) I own both! XD
Thank you for your reaction to Herbert Grönemeyer live in GELSENKIRCHEN. There are said to have been around 60,000 to 65,000 people in this football stadium at the time. Today, almost 80,000 people can enter the stadium for major events. In addition to being a singer, songwriter, musician, he was also an actor. (1981 "The Boat") After the family tragedy in November 1998, in which he lost his brother on the 1st and his wife on the 5th, he disappeared from the stage (understandable). In 2002 he dedicated “Der Weg” to his wife and “ Mensch” he came back stronger.
I was in this concert. It was special, for many reasons. Herbert Grönemeyer was an icon for many in my generation for more than 15 years and then his wife and his brother died in the same week because of cancer. He disapeared from stage completely , obviously heartbroken and exhausted. And then - 4 years later - out of the blue he was back, with a new album, which was stunning and very, very personal. Especially this song and "Der Weg". This was the tour to this album. In a way we felt honoured that he made himself so vulnerable by sharing his grieve through his songs with us and we were all struck by the lyrics and so glad that he was finally back. And also this concert took place in Gelsenkirchen, in the heart of the ruhr region (former miner region, poor, not chic, simple people, sticking together..) - which is the home of Grönemeyer, too, who has always been a promoter and advocate for this region. The vibes in the concert were incredible - I think everybody in the stadium wanted to express sympathy and thank you and welcome back home and so much more but all we could do was to do the la ola-waves and applause. The most incredible concert I've ever been.
My dad passed away the year of his "come back" tour in 2003 and the song "Der Weg", tho he wrote it in remembrance of his wife, remindes me of my father and makes me cry every time I hear it ... Herbert is such a genius.
I was at that tour in Hamburg. Herbert is an amazing live performer. He is extremely popular in Germany. Great reaction, D . Thank you that you show so much different music❤
I'm not the biggest Grönemeyer Fan, but we, my wife (she loves him) and I, went to several Grönemeyer concerts in Hamburg. He is a brillant live artist. Every concert was exciting and full of joy and he perform in gigantic stadiums. Fantastic live musician!
Herbert ist einer der ganz großen Musiker in Deutschland, sehr gute Texte. Aber auch mit ihm ist es wie mit Rammstein, entweder man liebt ihn oder man hasst ihn. Ich liebe beide. Und dieses Stadion in Gelsenkirchen ist Ende Juli an fünf Tagen hintereinander mit Rammstein ausgebucht. Ich bin am letzten Tag da , leider auch das Ende der tour. Herbert und die Jungs sind absolute Musik Elite.
Herbert Grönemeyer is a legend. Making great music from (actually before) 1984 until today. He reinvented himself 25 years ago. So many great songs, fantastic lyrics that make you think, laugh or cry.
Ich war bei der "Mensch" Tour damals in Stuttgart. Es war ein unglaubliches Erlebnis! Er wollte gar nicht mehr aufhören zu singen! Absolut klasse Stimmung! 5 Jahre später habe ich ihn in Mönchengladbach gesehen. Seine Konzerte waren zusammen mit Rammstein die besten, die ich je gesehen habe! I was on the “Mensch” tour in Stuttgart back then. It was an incredible experience! He didn't want to stop singing! Absolutely great atmosphere! 5 years later I saw him in Mönchengladbach. His concerts, along with Rammstein, were the best I've ever seen!
The polar bear is the heraldic animal of his record label "Grönland Records". And the song brings back the normal madness that prevails at his concerts. Everyone can sing along to the songs, he spreads a great atmosphere and his band does the rest. Btw. I learned from someone who attended the concert that the wave lasted 15 minutes. And on the subject of "no more empty seats in the whole arena": if he were to play in this arena three nights in a row, it would look like this on all three nights. You still have to be very quick if you want to buy tickets through the official channels. And the black market prices for his tickets are twice to three times higher than the official price. On the tour 21 years ago, he could have played twice as many concerts as he did. There's a small catch: he did have chaperones for his children who watched his back, but ultimately he was solely responsible for them. And they were just at the "easy-care age" of thirteen and fifteen (where you never get any stupid ideas).
As a child I always laught about him (because only old people listen to that kind of music) but now as an adult I come to realise how beautiful the lyrics are really.
Electricity can be said "Elektrizität" but people commonly say "Strom" (like "stream"); "Mensch" ("sch" is pronounced exactly like "sh" in English) is the generic term for "human being", male and female. Herbert is also a popular actor, he was in "Das Boot" ("The Boat"), a well-known movie about a submarine during WWII, and many other TV series and such, often as a villain in cop shows.
btw, that dude played in Das Boot together with Jürgen Prochnow (who played Duke Leto Atreides in the old Dune movie) shortly before he became famous as a singer.
This song was the song after "Der Weg", which you also featured in your channel. After singing about the loss, this one is on how to stand up again. At the end the people are going crazy. I was one of them in the masses ~50m from the stage. This night was absolutly magical, it was the best concert I was ever in. And I watched Joe Cocker on one of his last gigs and also genesis ... The stadium it's in is a football arena "Arena auf Schalke", from the former first division club "FC Schalke 04". It was sold out and ~65k people inside
Also typically German: We like singers who can't sing. In this case I really like the singer because he had a song called "Currywurst". You should also do a reaction to Die Toten Hosen, Die Ärzte, Marius Müller Westernhagen, Udo Lindenberg... I've been an Element of Crime fan since my youth. The best album for me is still "Try to be Mensch" - it was also the third album I've ever bought (1987), on vinyl of course. My first was The dream of the blue turtles by Sting. I was and am music style fluid.
Hi, D.! I don`t like Herbert Grönemeyer that much, but this one song and this "crowd control-performance" is awsome! Just beautiful! This song is special. And I respect his long successful career as a musician and even actor ("Das Boot" and "Frühlingssynfonie", together with Nastassja Kinski). Btw: When he was young he composed a song called "Currywurst"! 😆
When you lose the love of your life, is there more love you can give to move on in pain and dedicate that personal strength to your daughter and the world to honor his wife? My deepest respect for that . And the Crowed gave him tribute too , gave him Love and Respect for what he's going thrue and still came back to go on .
This is my homecity soccer stadium 😍. I saw AC/DC live at River Plate and at our stadium the argentinas going crazy. But this crowd in Gelsenkirchen topped everything.
It is heartbreaking. I think this was the first song to come out after his wife had died. It is about trying to live on and enjoy life - but "you are missing" 😥So sad 🙄
They started singing the croud/sporting tribute 'oh, wie ist das schön' (oh, how wonderful! We havn't seen something like this in a long time! So beutiful, so beautiful!)
The man has sold 20 million albums in Germany (#1 alltime, domestic and international). He is the biggest grossing touring artist of all times in Germany as well.
Maybe react to STS - Fürstenfeld Live 2008 if you like a good and clear singing crowd. its an austrian pub classic about a young man from Fürstenfeld (a small town in austria) that wanted to be a street artist in Vienna. Yet he failed to get popular and just wanted to go home to his town. Its a song about appreciating your home and a reminder that you should never forget what you home is.
Yep, that place can take almost 79300 people, well ... that was until 2015, when they made it slightly bigger and it can now take 79600. Just a few days ago (at the time I write this), Taylor Swift performed there.
Here are the lyrics of ''Herbert Grönemeyer-Kinder an die Macht'' The armies made of gummy bears The tanks made of marzipan Wars are eaten up Simple plan Childlike genius There is no good There is no evil There is no black There is no white There are gaps in the teeth Instead of oppressing There is strawberry ice cream for life Always good for a surprise Give the children the command They don't calculate What they do The world belongs in children's hands An end to the gloom We are laughed into the ground Children to power.

Grönemeyer always brings me back to a better time. I was born in 1997 but my parents (they´ve been at ecxact this concert btw) are huge Grönemeyer fans so I have always known his music. But the best of this is the concert for itself, no smartphone, no one is filming, no freaking live streams on instagram and all this shit. Last time I went to a concert, I got told to stop dancing, cause a roundabout 18 year old girl waanted to film it probably... its so fucked up... There are only a few other german artists, that have that status of Herbert Grönemeyer. He´s a huge fucking fish in the lake of german artists. I would say the biggest, but also with his status, you cant reach Rammstein or Scooter in any way.
I think you could compare him to “The Boss” Bruce Springsteen in regard of adoration and popularity in Germany. Yeah, could be right… our German equivalent to Bruce Springteen
I'm not sure whether a translation into English comes across as well as the original German text. After all, this is not a modern pop song, but a lullaby that is several centuries old. I think every single word counts. But I agree with you that his version is magically beautiful.
Everyone thinks every German listens to Rammstein. Truth is, Americans listen to Rammstein, within Germany they're quite controversial. But this guy, everyone knows him and literal everyone likes at least one song.
This one is pretty good, to show you how big and important Herbert is here. But my personal favourites are the older ones, cause he is famous for soo long here. From his 1998 album "Bleibt alles anders". Try this one (unfortunately without subs, but the comment section will help you with that if you give it a try 😉) ‘Bleibt alles anders‘ ruclips.net/video/0wkcoQ5OgWY/видео.htmlsi=FvV4U4weFivPTZ4b and especially this one ‘Fanatisch‘ ruclips.net/video/hYfv03i9zT0/видео.htmlsi=3I2aZOryyDzItibC (it's a bit creepy but good and the video is like a short movie. Amazing!) But I also love the classics like 'Männer' ruclips.net/video/_IZsxfo8ITw/видео.htmlsi=x0he7LfQLObasVIm (video from german tv 1984 😂) and 'Was soll das' ruclips.net/video/xJJIS64k_LY/видео.htmlsi=tVJGm_q-8zgH77Ge Enjoy to deep dive into one of our biggest and long lasting musicians 😊 Greetings from Berlin 😎
Ok my friend, thanks for this raection. Great song, great growd, but i don't like him as a person. He is also known for political statement during his concerts, and for ME this does'nt go together. Wrap your message in music and play your song, but don't act as a politician on the stage. My point. Fun fact, this stadium is sold out by RAMMSTEIN 5 days in a row in Juli 2024. 5 times 65000 people.
You are welcome to think otherwise, many people have a different opinion. Many people particularly like Herbert Grönemeyer precisely BECAUSE he openly communicates what he stands for. He grew up in the Ruhr area, where migrant citizens were and are completely normal. And if you're referring to his speech in Vienna: he's right. If politicians can't get their act together to create a climate in which no one is excluded because of their gender, sexual orientation, skin color or origin, we have to create this climate ourselves and show politicians how we imagine living together.
As always, it's a matter of taste, luckily we don't all have the same taste... But even if you don't like his singing or his voice, the lyrics, his unmistakable lyrical streak, are still unparalleled to this day!
@@nilskanter2892 i just cant stand his terrble shouting i also dont like rap music no matter how good some lyrics may be by the way it was not so terrible when he was junger but in the last 20 years its just terrible

Really?!? He's _such_ a jerk!
Yes Das Boot WW2 Movie (U BOAT) 1981 by Wolfgang Petersen !
btw, that dude played in Das Boot together with Jürgen Prochnow (who played Duke Leto Atreides in the old Dune movie) shortly before he became famous as a singer.

Herbert never composed "Currywurst". He just published it. "Currywurst" is from Dieter Krebs.
It’s a famous Song here in Germany but much more wonderful is : Der Weg
When you lose the love of your life, is there more love you can give to move on in pain and dedicate that personal strength to your daughter and the world to honor his wife? My deepest respect for that .
And the Crowed gave him tribute too , gave him Love and Respect for what he's going thrue and still came back to go on .

According to the "backcover" of the DVD those are around 65 thousand spectators filling the arena.
They started singing the croud/sporting tribute 'oh, wie ist das schön'
(oh, how wonderful! We havn't seen something like this in a long time! So beutiful, so beautiful!)
...und er fragt"meint ihr das optisch oder gesanglich?" 😉
It was amazing ......
The man has sold 20 million albums in Germany (#1 alltime, domestic and international).
He is the biggest grossing touring artist of all times in Germany as well.
Can't watch the full video...he was one of my mom's favorite actors. She paased away 2 years ago...
Your first reaction to one of his songs (Der Weg) was with English subs ❤
Maybe react to STS - Fürstenfeld Live 2008 if you like a good and clear singing crowd.
its an austrian pub classic about a young man from Fürstenfeld (a small town in austria) that wanted to be a street artist in Vienna.
Yet he failed to get popular and just wanted to go home to his town.
Its a song about appreciating your home and a reminder that you should never forget what you home is.
Herbert- Ikone❤
All the people want to listen to his music. He don‘ t need a big show.
Das war nach dem Tod seiner Frau und seines Bruders. Alle wollten ihm zeigen, dass wir ihn brauchen
Yep, that place can take almost 79300 people, well ... that was until 2015, when they made it slightly bigger and it can now take 79600.
Just a few days ago (at the time I write this), Taylor Swift performed there.
There were over 65000 people in this stadium.
your german is really good
He might bei Not the nices Singer but, he makes beautiful Texts. The was the first song after the past of His beloved wife...
Here are the lyrics of ''Herbert Grönemeyer-Kinder an die Macht''
The armies made of gummy bears
The tanks made of marzipan
Wars are eaten up
Simple plan
Childlike genius
There is no good
There is no evil
There is no black
There is no white
There are gaps in the teeth
Instead of oppressing
There is strawberry ice cream for life
Always good for a surprise
Give the children the command
They don't calculate
What they do
The world belongs in children's hands
An end to the gloom
We are laughed into the ground
Children to power.
They are the real anarchists
Love the chaos, clear it away
Know no rights
No duties
Still unbowed strength
Massive
Impetuous pride
Give the children the command
They don't calculate
What they do
The world belongs in children's hands
An end to the gloom
We are laughed into the ground
Children to power. Ohhh
Give the children the command
They don't calculate what they do
The world belongs in children's hands
End the gloom
We'll be laughed out of our heads
Children to power
Give the children the command
They don't calculate what they do
The world belongs in children's hands
End the gloom
We'll be laughed out of our heads
Children to power
Give the children the command
They don't calculate what they do

Grönemeyer always brings me back to a better time. I was born in 1997 but my parents (they´ve been at ecxact this concert btw) are huge Grönemeyer fans so I have always known his music. But the best of this is the concert for itself, no smartphone, no one is filming, no freaking live streams on instagram and all this shit. Last time I went to a concert, I got told to stop dancing, cause a roundabout 18 year old girl waanted to film it probably... its so fucked up...
There are only a few other german artists, that have that status of Herbert Grönemeyer. He´s a huge fucking fish in the lake of german artists. I would say the biggest, but also with his status, you cant reach Rammstein or Scooter in any way.
"Oh, they love him..." LOL In Germany Uns Herbert is more an institution than a musician...
It's funny how you found yet another German musician who's insanely politically active, just like Die Ärzte :)
Hi, ich finde deine Reaktion so was von gut. Es kommt von Herzen bei dir. Ich wünsch dir alles Gute und mach so weiter.
good times
Mensch = Human
I think you could compare him to “The Boss” Bruce Springsteen in regard of adoration and popularity in Germany. Yeah, could be right… our German equivalent to Bruce Springteen
If you want to see what a german band can do with an audience, watch blind guardian bard song/valhalla. The songs are in english.
The song before was about he lost his wife to cancer. Very sad! And this one is about to not give up!
Look to Herbert Grönemeyer Der Mond ist aufgegangen, the same man, the same Stadion, the end of a conzert
I'm not sure whether a translation into English comes across as well as the original German text. After all, this is not a modern pop song, but a lullaby that is several centuries old. I think every single word counts. But I agree with you that his version is magically beautiful.
Everyone thinks every German listens to Rammstein. Truth is, Americans listen to Rammstein, within Germany they're quite controversial. But this guy, everyone knows him and literal everyone likes at least one song.
@@LETMino85 Ich stimm die in allem zu nur umstritten sind Rammstein heute nicht mehr. Und wenn dann auf keinen Fall so stark wie früher.
I'd like to know what it feels like to be on stage at that moment.😅
I think pure madness
He absolutely loves live shows. And you see on his face when they do the wave that he is at peak happiness.
He is very susceptible to shedding tears of joy. Still does today (for example, on the tour last year)@@Goddybag4Lee
I'm sure some thoughts like "What the... is going on here?" is part of all that, too.@@Goddybag4Lee
Hey. I love your reactions about different films. Also watch a video about Kaisermania by and with Roland Kaiser
I prefer the official music video of this song, because he sings anyways relatively chaotic live and the song gets a little lost. 😂
❤
Mensch means human. Mens in Afrikaans
Mensch wird im US Englischen auch Man übersetzt. Mankind=Menschheit
Please react to the german marching band Meute
This song is about his wife, she died of cancer
Germans Often Got A Message.
This one is pretty good, to show you how big and important Herbert is here.
But my personal favourites are the older ones, cause he is famous for soo long here. From his 1998 album "Bleibt alles anders".
Try this one (unfortunately without subs, but the comment section will help you with that if you give it a try 😉)
‘Bleibt alles anders‘
ruclips.net/video/0wkcoQ5OgWY/видео.htmlsi=FvV4U4weFivPTZ4b
and especially this one
‘Fanatisch‘
ruclips.net/video/hYfv03i9zT0/видео.htmlsi=3I2aZOryyDzItibC
(it's a bit creepy but good and the video is like a short movie. Amazing!)
But I also love the classics like 'Männer'

(video from german tv 1984 😂)
and 'Was soll das'

Enjoy to deep dive into one of our biggest and long lasting musicians 😊
Greetings from Berlin 😎
The Translation is not 100% korrect
Was that before or after the death of his wife and brother?
After...
On November 1st, his brother and just 4 days later on November 5th, 1998, his wife, both died of cancer.
That was four and a half years after. And many songs of the album refer to grief, not giving up and clear your view for the future.
Mensch means Human not Man
Translation isn’t the best but I guess it’s ok…
You are the bear.
Gröhlemeyer or Dröhnemeyer ...
Ok my friend, thanks for this raection. Great song, great growd, but i don't like him as a person. He is also known for political statement during his concerts, and for ME this does'nt go together. Wrap your message in music and play your song, but don't act as a politician on the stage. My point.
Fun fact, this stadium is sold out by RAMMSTEIN 5 days in a row in Juli 2024. 5 times 65000 people.
You are welcome to think otherwise, many people have a different opinion. Many people particularly like Herbert Grönemeyer precisely BECAUSE he openly communicates what he stands for. He grew up in the Ruhr area, where migrant citizens were and are completely normal. And if you're referring to his speech in Vienna: he's right. If politicians can't get their act together to create a climate in which no one is excluded because of their gender, sexual orientation, skin color or origin, we have to create this climate ourselves and show politicians how we imagine living together.
i dont like the gröhlemeyer ....
terrible voice terrible singing
As always, it's a matter of taste, luckily we don't all have the same taste... But even if you don't like his singing or his voice, the lyrics, his unmistakable lyrical streak, are still unparalleled to this day!
@@nilskanter2892 i just cant stand his terrble shouting i also dont like rap music no matter how good some lyrics may be
by the way it was not so terrible when he was junger but in the last 20 years its just terrible
It's easy - just don't listen to that music - listen to music you do like and keep it yourself.
@@pippavombr5856 i will listent to the music i like but i wont let some people i dont give a fuck about tell me what can say and what not
If it was only that - way worse is his fascist attitide to non-leftists!
ich war auf der Tour in Wangen (stuttgart) .. : ( es macht mich unendlich traurig daran zu denken... it makes me so fucking sad to see this :(
Even Germans need German subtitles to understand this guy mumbling.
LOL
@Sloppylicious I recommend washing your ears for a better understanding
@@tinisunblue Hat nicht geholfen. Aber danke für nichts.
wer nicht will, der hat schon. Scheint ja ein Sport zu sein, unter Videos zu trollen. Und du bist bei der deutschen Meisterschaft schon ganz weit vorne.@@Sloppylicious
@@tinisunblue Wo wird getrollt? Wenn du beanspruchst, dass seine Aussprache glasklares, verständliches Hochdeutsch ist, trollst eher du. Mit Fanboys kann man eh nicht auf einer sinnvollen Ebene diskutieren.
