It's the horror version of the Sandman. In Germany, a cute little man who tells the children good night stories so that they can sleep nicely. Till is the nightmare version here.
Also at the same time it displays the brokenness of that sandman character, that is addicted to the childrens nightmares (press them into my cold veins) but doesn't actually want to harm the children. Therefore his heart burns, at least until the sun arrives (at that point you see the tiny trail of smoke when it is extinguished) By the way, the non-piano version of this song goes into another direction, solely by means of a different sound and a totally different video. There it is about the children growing up and leaving their childhood nightmares behind them.
Actually this goes back one more step: The sandman originates from E.T.A. Hoffmanns "Der Sandmann" from 1816. There, the sandman is definetly not a nice creature putting children to rest, but rather a horrifying man who is said to throw sand in childrens eyes until they fall out, if they don't go to sleep. Later on this figure was rewritten to a nice figure having magical dust to make you sleepy. Rammsteins "Mein Herz brennt" is just another interpretation of that figure, this time telling a story from the sandmans perspective
@@SlayWithBrandy Fun fact too, this is the original room from the original video. The dress is the dress the demon wore that was terrorizing the kids. The kids were in that center hole with fences over it. Till is wearing the dress the demon was wearing. 5:26
Till is wearing the outfit of a female opera singer. He is the Sandman, and even if he looks scary he's a positive force. Demons creep out of the basement at night to scare children, and he sings to fight them back, he's a light in the darkness that protects the children until dawn. This comes with a price, and he has emotional and physical scars to prove it.
This is probably one of those songs which is hauntingly beautiful and yet so simple yet complex. Even the original is just as good exactly the same song but gives of a totally different vibe.♥️👍🔥🔥🔥
Imagine your heart burns for someone. But this one is not interested in you! This is how your heart torments you and you keep retreating. Then at some point it turns into anger, anger, hatred. This is how the contrasts of the gentle music, the deep voice and the bizarre mask on the face can be understood.
Happy birthday, Brandy. My understanding is that the song is about the Sandman, the one who visits children and helps them get to sleep by dropping sand on their eyes. There was a popular children's TV show about the Sandman in Germany. But Rammstein dug into a darker, less popular version of the story. The original Rammstein song is from 2001, but I've been impressed with this piano version, ever since I discovered it on RUclips reaction channels.
Just found you. I really like your face when u watching it first time. Thats excactly what Till wanted to do to his listeners. They are great artist that sing in their mothers country tongue. Pls stay like that. Openminded and dont hide yourself in a box like the 99% of all human beeings. Regards from Germany.
I love watching reactions to this song. It's beautiful and sad. I've been learning German for about 3 years now and one tip I hear often is listen to German music. So I've been learning this song by heart. I sing it every day and it still brings tears to my eyes.
Did you notice it? At the very end as the lights are fading the white smoke? I believe the white smoke/mist you see in the very end as the lights slowly go off was his spirit/Soul. I think that he was finally able to ascend...after making sure all the children were safe and at the same time atoning for his past sins he was finally set free. The original was released in 2001 then the piano version in 2012 so it follows the story from Till in the orphanage to protecting the kids and the emotions he shows is mainly anger followed by sadness then in the piano version his emotions are kinda bitter sweet? He realizes he had to do things he didn't want to do to save the children. So now that he's done, he is finally set free. thats of course my own interpretation of the video/song❤️🔥🤗
Happy Birthday! 🙂And thank you for giving this masterpiece to us, once again! 😍Love that you picked up on the potential smoke in the end... Or was it a soul leaving its body?
❤️MY HEART BURNS 🔥 Now, dear children, pay attention I am the voice from the pillow I brought you something Have ripped it out of my chest I have the power with this heart to blackmail the eyelids I sing until the new day comes a bright glow in the sky My heart burns They come to you in the night Demons ghosts black fairies they crawl out of the cellar shaft and will look under your blankets Now, dear children, pay attention I am the voice from the pillow I brought you something a bright glow in the sky My heart burns My heart burns They come to you in the night and steal your little hot tears they wait until the moon awakes, yes and squeeze my cold veins Now, dear children, pay attention I am the voice from the pillow I sing until the new day comes a bright glow in the sky My heart burns My heart burns My heart burns My heart burns, yes! My heart burns
@@huisjebudde can you provide a link showing that "erpressen" means "to close" and not "to blackmail"? I'm aware that German words can have multiple meanings...that one word can mean different things depending on where it's located in a sentence or if a prefix is added to it etc. So I have searched and the main translation is "to blackmail " "to extort" and "to press" The word "Erpressen" does not mean "to close".."to blackmail the eyelids" is the literal translation here..but it's being used here as "to force" the eyelids to stay shut or closed
@@alanekucher7369 I’m not German but a Dutchy (from the Netherlands). If I translate “blackmail” into Dutch it means for us “chanteren” and makes the meaning of the sentence to the Dutch weird. So I looked for a word that was more familiar for me, “to close” as a result of “to press”. So for me the sentence with “to press” I can understand, with “to blackmail” I do not understand as a Dutchy.
@@huisjebudde ah that makes sense...I believe that Till used the word erpressen because to say "to close " in German is "zu schließen " and I don't think that "Die Augenlider zu schließen " would have sounded good or rymed with the rest of the lyrics...😅 ❤
To understand the lyrics and their meaning, pay attention to the lyrics, pay attention to the location, both in the piano as well the official "normal" version. Furthermore, consider the history of the place, and then put it all into context and it becomes immediately clear how profound this song really is. The text is easy to find out and translate. But the pivotal point is the filming location. The Beelitzer Heilstätten (Sanatorium), close to Berlin, was once a medical institute for people with lung diseases, but later became a mental institution where people were brutally mistreated for research purposes and used as guinea pigs. These patients were treated with the most questionable methods, including experiments involving the use of electronic pulses. Especially in children and young people. Many innocent people died in this ominous place. The place was abandoned after a major fire and has been abandoned ever since.
Happy birthday. 🎂 There is also another official video with the whole band. The lyrics are the same, but the other video has a totally different vibe - nevertheless it's scary too. And if you like to watch Rammstein videos with English subtitles, you may search for "educated marine rammstein" + songname. There you'd find also the mentioned one: ruclips.net/video/8NohvVK-Qes/видео.html
It doesn't just mean, My Heart is Burning but could also mean My heart is Burnt or Burned depending on the present to past tense tone. This takes acutely understanding German and going through the GERMAN lyric and understanding the story in its native language as a native speaker would before translating to other languages but I think the words may have a tense change from present to past tense at some point.
I love how you pay attention to the video and you're left with a puzzled face, the same thing happened to me, I advise you to watch the original video clip of this song, you won't regret it, but it will scare you ☺️👏👏👏👏👏
Don't listen to me. I might tell you things in your ear, they tell you to listen further... Now that I have your attention, imagine a demon who has all of time to think up ways to cause damage. So that, then.
If you like you music with a touch of horror, I can suggest the following: 1) Krampus by Snowy Shaw. It has a very metal vibe and is rather clever ruclips.net/video/UBCOgZYZPK0/видео.html 2) Sucker by Rockbitch. It’s bizarre vampire theme. ruclips.net/video/5Dz7LJlw7F4/видео.html 3) Backstabber by The Dresden Dolls. Very weird gender bender but very good. ruclips.net/video/8N0sBo1cfNU/видео.html 4) Opera Diabolicus with Snowy Shaw. Countess Bathoria theme. ruclips.net/video/Kmjsbj26W8U/видео.html
I inerrupted watching, bevause of no English subs. I‘m german an speak (most) fluent english. I‘s totally nuts to watch a Rammstein-Video without any knowlwdge of the language or english subs, sorry.👎👎👎👎👎
that is clearly why all the people who sell out their tour(s) worldwide first learn german..... Sure you get more out of it, but is absolutely works for the majority of people outside of germany who do not speak a lick of german.
ART is.......feeling forced to deeper thoughts! My interpretation.....and everybody should have an individual one...........is that some Children have nightmares.....and some children life in a real nightmare and HE is that Evil, that sometimes only appears in dreams, and sometimes as a real person.
Everyone notices the creepy smile, never the sad expression after. Like the Theatre Masks(??)🎭
The Joker said he got the creeps when he saw Till smiling! 🤡
It's the horror version of the Sandman. In Germany, a cute little man who tells the children good night stories so that they can sleep nicely. Till is the nightmare version here.
AHHH OKAY!

Uh, I thought he produces the nightmares but doesn't like his job anymore
@@mandelorean6243 that's à valid interprétation as well.
Happy Birthday 🍰
It's a Masterpiece of art.
He sings about a creature/being that feeds off the tears children get when they have nightmares.
I love how fascinated you were when watching this. Mesmerizing. Great reaction video. Thanks.
Happy Happy Birthday to you! 🎂
Thank you!!

I really love that you understand the song is a bit scary and hurt without knowing the lyrics first. And I appreciate, that you looked up the lyrics.
I like to make the connection visually and lyrically!

❤️MY HEART BURNS 🔥
Now, dear children, pay attention
I am the voice from the pillow
I brought you something
Have ripped it out of my chest
I have the power with this heart
to blackmail the eyelids
I sing until the new day comes
a bright glow in the sky
My heart burns
They come to you in the night
Demons ghosts black fairies
they crawl out of the cellar shaft
and will look under your blankets
Now, dear children, pay attention
I am the voice from the pillow
I brought you something
a bright glow in the sky
My heart burns
My heart burns
They come to you in the night
and steal your little hot tears
they wait until the moon awakes, yes
and squeeze my cold veins
Now, dear children, pay attention
I am the voice from the pillow
I sing until the new day comes
a bright glow in the sky
My heart burns
My heart burns
My heart burns
My heart burns, yes!
My heart burns

Lovely greetings from Germany. Thank you for your Video
What you say is so nice. very thank you from Germany.

HECK YES
Scary sexy song. Till’s voice is the best. One of my favorites.
I think, it was a very good present to yourself on your 29 birthday.

This is widely performed in the Opera world.
This one reminds me a bit on the Movie "The Cell" from 2000.
This is great art. Check mein herz brennt from the Mutter Tour in 2001. Then you'll see the greatness of this version.
Happy late birthday 😅
Mein Herz brennt is like. My heartz burning.
