The "old guy" wearing the glasses at the end is Reinhard Mey ... he first released this song in 1986 during the "cold war". Germany was still divided in East- and West-Germany and the east was still occupied by the Soviets. In 1989 "The Wall" (aka. "Berliner Mauer") was torn down and Germany was united again. Feels like a long time ago, but as I am old, I still remember it! German History!
@Reactions by D Hello from Germany, your idea to sing this song in the most spoken languages is excellent, because it is needed more than ever. You only have to watch the daily news to realize that we are once again on the brink of a major war, which is like a declaration of the bankruptcy of human civilization. Thank you for your work, we need many more people like you!
@@jairogomez2861 Oh ich bin so bei Dir, bei all dem Wahnsinn der gerade passiert und in der Vergangenheit gewesen ist... Jeder sollte dieses Lied hören 👍
I could not agree more to your proposal to release that song in all world languages..excellent idea ! I could listen to it on repeat and it hits me every single time...Greetings from Bremen, Germany
There is a swedish Version of this Song. Mey allowed people to cover and release it, Nej mina söner får ni ej is the name of the swedish Version. The song of these swedish musicains was released with a video here on RUclips 4 weeks ago.
I’m glad, you did this version, too. It really should be a worldwide anthem. I guess, Reinhard Mey would agree and help. He already offers free downloads of all his songs (text and sheet music) for free.
I heard this song in the original version (only Reinhard Mey sings) for the first time when I was pregnant with my second son and couldn't stop crying for weeks. And even now I am crying again. This version (Reinhard Mey & friends) is even more intense than the original. Great reaction and thank you for that. Greetings from Germany
He could easily sing this song in french himself as he used to sing in french under the alias Frederik Mey and won the "prix international de la chanson francaise" as the first non-french chanson singer.
Reinhard is a master of words and emotion. I am a big fan and have all of his albums. He released more than 50. The woman u referred 2 is Luci van Org a former member of the pop duo Lucilectric. It is good 2 see he even reaches Americans ❤ ⁸
9:20 Yeah, that's Luci van Ork. She was huge in 90s Germany under the name "Lucilectric" A lot of great musicians and singers here, every single one worth a reaction!
I love this song and deeply respect its beautiful lyrics and the moral behind them. If this song were respected and sung in all countries around the world, we would finally achieve true and lasting peace. Unfortunately, peace cannot be one-sided.
I know the music of REinhard May for almost 50 years now - but I had no clue that this song even exists. It is unbelievable, so powerful, so great. And your idea to release it in other languages is phantastic. Thank you so much for sharing this song. Greetings from Hamburg / Germany
Thank you for your wonderful statement 🤗One could threaten me with prison, violence, etc., I would always answer these soulless people with "No, without me!!!
Hi and hello from Hamburg/Germany, you are my most liked reaction-artist on youtube and i watched many many of your videos. I highly recommend to hear the original version of this song by reinhard mey. I guess it's from the beginning 80's and far more emotional i would say. Don't miss it! Best regards, Martin
Reinhard Mey, the songwriter seen in this clip the old guy with the glasses, has been a moral authority in Germany since the 60s. His songs like this one always resemble powerful yet almost silent still irresistible strength.
It is not possible to translate everything from one language to another. Each language carries its own energy. Unfortunately, the German-speaking countries were inundated with English. Many can no longer use the language of the earlier poets properly. But Reinhard Mey is still one of the exceptions.
Dear friend, I don't know if you react on my inspiration to this video, but I knew, you would been like it. The powerness in this video is imaging. And yes, it should be translated in every language and in every schoolbook. Thank you for putting it online. ❤
Many thanks for this great reaction! I really love it and I am in full support! This is a true and impressive "anti-war" song - especially when listening to it from a "German" perspective taking into consideration all the bad things and cruelties that were done by the Germans during (recent) history. Unfortunately, this song's statement - and that's what I assume - may only work if you are put in the shoes of an AGGRESSOR. What to do if YOUR life/country/home/future/children GET ATTACKED and need defence? People(s) may be put in a situation they do not want to be in - and are forced to react then. OK - maybe we all should/need to run away then (but where?) - and hope we find a rescue. Just thinking about the situation in some very specific countries...😒
Thx for your reaction. There is one more song in my mind , that should hear the hole world. It calls susamam from saniser. It would be great when you do a reaction of this song.
Hi, there is another Amazon song: "es ist an der Zeit". Best Version of Reinhard Mey, Hannes Wader and Konstantin Wecker, live. Also with english subtitles available
Thank you for this reaction in front of a us flag❤. Hopefully many of other us-amercian people are like you❤. In europe, we're really frightend that anybody who could be prasident in the usa would have an other opinion...
Thanx for reacting to it! Maybe could you react to "Nicht in meinem Namen (Studio)" sung by Bodo Wadke. The lyrics are powerfull. There are eng Subs. It´s about peace too and war...keep up the good work!
It's maybe worth noting that Germany doesn't have anything near the "military culture" the USA has. The military isn't popular here, veterans/former soldiers don't "stick out"/get special treatment in public, we don't have "cadet classes" in schools, we don't have parades/shows at sporting events, etc. The Bundeswehr (German military) is actually kinda struggling to secure new employees, both "actual" soldiers and in other fields, especially after mandatory military service was ended a few years ago. A song like this would/might actually get quite some backlash in the USA I can imagine.
99% of all wars startet with lies and endet telling lies, just because of Geo politics and the benefit of the ones in power. Don't let them fool you and say NO to wars. Peace for all mankind. Greetings from Germany and sorry for my bad english.
ruclips.net/video/1hBVqgxA_Cg/видео.html This one is also a masterwork, you will probably enjoy. The autotranslation to english actually works because he has such a clear pronounciation.
There is another great no war Song from Reinhard Mey but i Can't find english lyrics maybe it was too old IT was at the Cold war time. The Name of the Song was ( alle Soldaten woll'n nach Haus) in english ( all soldiers want go home ) IT Plays about soldiers from USA , westgerman, eastgerman and sovietunion .
Covers and also translated covers are okay by german laws but you have to ask the copyright-holders. I do think, though, that neither Reinhard Mey nor his friends do have anything against it.
@milliz8258 Das kriegst du in die Restidioten, die aufgrund ihrer Dummheit den Weg in die Welt nicht geschafft haben, nicht mehr rein. Ich habe mit meiner Heimat längst gebrochen, (ex Hoyerswerdscher). Im Osten findet man halt nur noch den ausgesonderten Rest! Nazis, Schwubbler, Reichsbürger etc... Halt Menschen die Ihre Möglichkeiten nicht sehen, ihren Arsch nicht hoch bekommen weil immer nur Jammern ja so viel bequemer ist!
Stop the War!!!Greetings from Germany

Ein Lied als Nachricht für Alle Menschen der Welt !
I completely i agree.
The lyrics are so powerful...it's pretty sharp. I always cry when I listen ...always 😢😢
Du hast vollkommen Recht das ist ein lied für die ganze Welt.
Gruß nach Amerika Ingo🖖
I agree with your Idea of to give this Song to the world. I had the same thought❤
Anybody, u r absolutely right!
Am I the only who gets goosebumps when I listen😪to this song ...the lyrics are so powerful and so emotional.
You are defenitely NOT the only person that gets goosebumps. Me too

Reinhard Mey is seen last. He sings the last verse. The text is timeless and brilliant!
Such a great idea!!!
I have always tears in my eyes when I hear this song. Reinhard Mey is the real hero!
I've been grown up with reinhard mey..he is such an great poet and he also educated me with all his songs ❤❤
Just great! Greetings from Germany.

oh you done it!!!
The forest they stand in is a forest where 100.000 soldiers in WWII died and thousands are still missing...

9:20 Yeah, that's Luci van Ork. She was huge in 90s Germany under the name "Lucilectric"
A lot of great musicians and singers here, every single one worth a reaction!
Sei wachsam and Kai are my favourite songs by Mey.
I knew you would like that better too
Liebe geht raus ❤
Das ist so wahr 🙏😭😭
Greetings from Germany ❤

thax greetings from germany...love r , mey ....wish all goodness...
Great song - and great reaction! Thank you D!! 😍
He is also very famous in French as : Frédérik Mey !
I love this song and deeply respect its beautiful lyrics and the moral behind them. If this song were respected and sung in all countries around the world, we would finally achieve true and lasting peace. Unfortunately, peace cannot be one-sided.

This song is THE SONG for the our time, and against all efforts to prepare us for the next war - NO MORE WAR
Vollumfängliche Zustimmung, this must be an Earth-Song
Thank you for your wonderful statement 🤗One could threaten me with prison, violence, etc., I would always answer these soulless people with "No, without me!!!

min 5:33 Reinhard Mey. The head of the song. Old guy. Famous in German speaking countries plus France for decades; he is bilingual.
Danke dir, sonst wäre ich nicht zu diesem Song gekommen, auch wenn ich Deutscher bin und hier Lebe 🤩😉
Fun Fact the Video Shooting was on WW 2 hart contested battlefield
amazing
Well Done 🙏 greeting from Germany
This remake was a charity project about 15 years after the release of the original. Unfortunately all those years later it’s still up to date

Hi, there is another Amazon song: "es ist an der Zeit". Best Version of Reinhard Mey, Hannes Wader and Konstantin Wecker, live. Also with english subtitles available
Oh yes - the song is equally amazing. Both bring me to tears even hearing them a thousand times.
I think he reacted to this one some time ago.
Thank you for this reaction in front of a us flag❤. Hopefully many of other us-amercian people are like you❤. In europe, we're really frightend that anybody who could be prasident in the usa would have an other opinion...
Please look at ... " Es ist an der Zeit " Reinhard Mey
Thanx for reacting to it! Maybe could you react to "Nicht in meinem Namen (Studio)" sung by Bodo Wadke. The lyrics are powerfull. There are eng Subs. It´s about peace too and war...keep up the good work!
Good idea! :-)
"Udo Lindenberg - Wozu sind Kriege da" is another powerful anti war song. And though it's originally from the year 1981, it's more relevant than ever!
Play it in repeat and as loud as possible until your votes in November. Let everyone know.
Reinhard Mey lost his son Max in 2014 after five years vegetative state.
The forrest is a former ww2 battlefield with a lots of casualties.
Thank you - Greatings from Frankfurt
you should listen to " PUR - kein Krieg ist heilig" , this is much harder to listen. You will cry
Ever when I hear the song, i cry!
The politicians start a war and sit comfortable in their warm safe home!
❤
Hör dir bitte Reinhard an - reagier da mal drauf ^^
❤🇪🇦🙏

the best Anti - War Song ever
Well, this song copyright is officially setting free. There is a Swedish version. Maybe there come many others too. 😊
Oh, mostly we need a Russian version!!! 😢
Please react to "Reinhard Mey, Hannes Wader, Konstantin Wecker: Es ist an der Zeit(english subtitels)" It is an emozional Song, baut it hits way more.
Also a must see - Reinhard Mey, Hannes Wader, Konstantin Wecker - Es ist an der Zeit (English subtitles) - ruclips.net/video/_v-UgzTQXOk/видео.html
@@omanipadmeum7319 I second this 🙏🏻
There is another great no war Song from Reinhard Mey but i Can't find english lyrics maybe it was too old IT was at the Cold war time. The Name of the Song was ( alle Soldaten woll'n nach Haus) in english ( all soldiers want go home ) IT Plays about soldiers from USA , westgerman, eastgerman and sovietunion .
Check out the poem ' Gaza, Gaza' by Dieter Hallervorden, with English subtitles!
Some people have "non American" ideas how to bring a song, or message.
The video was made at a place where more than 100000 soldiers got killed in just one battle during less than one day.
Covers and also translated covers are okay by german laws but you have to ask the copyright-holders. I do think, though, that neither Reinhard Mey nor his friends do have anything against it.
react Wozu sind Kriege da by Udo Lindenberg
Cry soldat cry from UDO is another anti War song ......ich glaube du weisst wie der scheiss läuft! Grüße aus Hamburg ✌️
Hello, I would like to know what you think of Nicoletta, the song Oh Mamie, thank you.
Thanks for the reaction brother
