Chels has it right. Till was in Olympic training for the East German Swimming team as a teenager. A very brutal programme with lasting physical and mental effects.
Till was in a sports school when he was in his early teens. The GDR did horrific things to their athletes. Till has spoken in interviews about harsh trainers always pushing him day and night, drug cocktails being forced on him that the trainers called "vitamins", therapy involving electric shocks that caused him enough pain to make him sick, therapy involving blood irradiation... It's honestly a miracle the man only came out of it with only psychological scarring and a heart murmur.
Yes, former training colleagues say they don't understand that he can do that. They suffer immensely from the consequences. Bandmates also say that he has a great need for sleep
Agree, didn't expect that much from Till as a solo. Normally, even with R+, when they launch a new album, there's only 1 or 2 songs I like, plus a 3rd one that is good enough but this one is really good.
What I love about Till Lindemanns/Rammsteins music is that it seems like there is always room for thinking and having different perspectives about the topic/style of the song.
The song and lyrics work like sports work. In the beginning everything was great, great fitness, great adrenaline, great successes, great experience. But in the end, the guts punsh comes. You have done all this at the expense of your health and become a medical care case. So the song ,uplifting only works positive at the beginning and towards the end comes the negative. Till was an athlete. So he's speaking from experience. And as he said in the song, as a musician you have more of everything in life. Music is timeless.
I just love this new Album of Till. Awesome sound, awesome lyrics (as usual). Great vibes. Listening to it non stop since it came out. I just love Tills work!
German speaker here. Oh trust me this is anything but a love song to sports haha. Chels has it right. The song depicts a man who pushed himself to the extreme but later in his life realizes that for all the fame and wealth that came with the success, his health wasn't worth it. As others have already pointed out, the song is also a comment on his own youth. I like the similarities to Rammstein's "Feuer Frei" btw, even the name is intentionally similar. 😀And that choir that starts later in the song is SO damn great! Love that song! 🤘
@@brigittegranier3468 Yeah you're right, i missed that part when i listened to the song the first few times, he sings about how he didn't even become that wealthy. "Wie die Arbeit nicht der Lohn" / "Das Gold vom Siegerpodest, sich nicht in Barren gießen lässt" , and all that. 😞
8:33 " sport frei" Is an expression from the GDR (East Germany), for example the teacher said SPORT and the students then answered with FREI After 1945, the greeting was reintroduced in the German Democratic Republic (GDR). "Sport frei" is an athlete's greeting from the workers' sports movement. With this greeting, school sports lessons and all forms of (team) training began in the GDR, as well as competitions in various sports.
@@brigittegranier3468 I was happy to make a point because I think these are things, that you only know if you have lived in that specific country or if you have family members there. because even in West Germany many people don't know this term or what it means
@@Mister__Jey Yes that is right! I am from West Germany and learn a lot about East Germany by reading Flake's books and listening to his comments on his podcast at Radio 1.
This song is so sick! And the whole album is release now, here the other songs of the album: -Altes Fleisch (sounds like his 2 first solo albums) -Übers Meer (Big Reise Reise vibe) -Du Hast Kein Herz (The loudest one) -Tanzlehrerin (ballad) -Alles Für Die Kinder (creepy song) -Selbst Verliebt (the most WTF song of the metal history).
This Song reminder on "Stripped" from Rammstein......What a Great Album, an Masterpie Favorit Song: "übers Meer". Hard Riffs, Tenor voice and and a great head voice from Till,
I think because he experienced this situation when he was young and knows how difficult it was on him and others, that he is also honoring those who can deal with it now too. Doing all this work and being pushed around for what in the end? Physical problems when you are older etc. But some people still go through it anyhow in spite of all that.
Couple of interesting points about the actual music video for me are that Till recreates the torch lighting scene from the "Stripped" video (in the same stadium unless I'm mistaken). Also part of that stadium was used as the backdrop for the "Live Aus Berlin" album cover. Till running while on fire reminded me of the muisic video "No Man" by Tadpole.
The clip is gorgeous, it contains the most important thing - words about sports... And the music for them is perfect... Whether you like it or not, this is how it is in sports, which is what is sung in the video... Sports have always been like this - very hard, give yourself to it to the end, and I can say to all the athletes - you are just great... It’s not fucking easy
Sportler können besser ficken als die Dicken😂🤣👍🤦♂er hat recht! but this is not a love song. 3th sentense: So much sweat and so many tears Thin blood in thick veins How the work is not the reward Nothing at all, you get nothing from it The gold from the winner's podium Cannot be watered in barren water Unfortunately the heart has not recovered Been an instrument of good. Vielen,vielen Dank Till Lindemann das Du meine Muttersprache international etablierst, Menschen befriedet, begeistern und siegen.😂 Ich seh Dich (Till) nächste Woche in Leipzig am Mittwoch 8pm in der Quaterback Arena. Let´s have fan! at Leipzig
nice and thank u ich lachte genau an der gleichen Seite wie ihr Und in diesem Berlin Stadion sind die Rammstein live Shows in der vergangenheit und vielleicht in Zukunft
by the way for ignorants till was representing DDR eastern germany 1980 moscow s games (In 1978, Lindemann participated in the European Junior Swimming Championships in Florence, finishing 11th in the 1500 m freestyle and 7th in the 400 m freestyle, swimming a time of 4'17"58; he was shortlisted to go to the 1980 Olympics in Moscow, but left the sport due to an injury.)
Gotta agree with Chels, I really feel like this is not admiration but criticism for the lack of better word. In general I often feel like Rammstein & Till lyrics have an undertone of 'sarcasm' and criticism.
Dont get me wrong i love lindemann and pls bring an reaction to all new videos! But guys.... Ich am wating for more dragonballxD i could watch them solo but then i would skip your reactions!!
An ode ( although not lovingly or fondly) of sorts to his days as a competitive swimmer? Must have been brutal in many different ways. Not uplifting imo.
Nah the weights aren't real. That'd be a weight of 495lb and whilst Till is a bloody strong dude, there's not a chance in hell he is overhead pressing (did it at the end, there) that much weight at 60 years old (the world record for that movement is 542lb.)
Chels has it right. Till was in Olympic training for the East German Swimming team as a teenager. A very brutal programme with lasting physical and mental effects.
Well that explains a lot...
he went to the Olympics in Italy in 1980, but quit after an injury
@@edvinparmeza1298 No he didn't. He was shortlisted but left the team before the event.
Till was in a sports school when he was in his early teens. The GDR did horrific things to their athletes.

It is cruel what Trainers did than in East Germany. 😱 And some of that is probably common in many countries 😞
I feel so sorry for Till😢😢❤
Yes, former training colleagues say they don't understand that he can do that. They suffer immensely from the consequences. Bandmates also say that he has a great need for sleep
I honestly think this is his best solo album yet, every track has been an absolute banger..this coming from someone who loved the last album. 😂
I love it, too. I think it's better than the ones he made with his previous band.
Till Lindemann is a genius the last two albums and live in Moscow was awesome and this new album is great too
and something really new, that fun metal style is very very nice
The whole album is GREAT! I loved it. My favorite songs are Du hast kein Herz, Alles für die Kinder and Schweiss.
Agree, didn't expect that much from Till as a solo. Normally, even with R+, when they launch a new album, there's only 1 or 2 songs I like, plus a 3rd one that is good enough but this one is really good.
Schweiss is next level
What I love about Till Lindemanns/Rammsteins music is that it seems like there is always room for thinking and having different perspectives about the topic/style of the song.
Till Solo isn't normally my thing, but here it's a lot of fun. Great pace and good vibe. As an active beer athlete, this goes on the playlist.
The song and lyrics work like sports work. In the beginning everything was great, great fitness, great adrenaline, great successes, great experience. But in the end, the guts punsh comes. You have done all this at the expense of your health and become a medical care case.

As a big Rammstein fan, I'm not usually a fan of Till's songs, but this is a pure banger! 👊🏻Maybe this new album will change my mind.
It will!
Übers Meer is really great.
Yo, this track RULES!!
It reminds me a LOT of the Rammstein banger "Feuer Frei!"
I just love this new Album of Till. Awesome sound, awesome lyrics (as usual). Great vibes. Listening to it non stop since it came out. I just love Tills work!
Love it this song! Amazing Till always 💫Thank u for the reaction 🤘🏻👏🫶🏻
You two are so friendly together. Love your reactions.

Till sings that no wealth came with it. 😞 Only few sportlers become wealthy. And their health is damaged anyway 🤗

yeah Till was on the olympic team as a swimmer thats right the new album just came out
Lyrics are awesome
His new album dropped and its FIRE!!! One of my favorites is Altes Fleisch. Definitely check it out when you get a chance!
I missed your Rammstein\Lindemann reactions ❤
Yes 🤗
I think he admires the sprtsmen, but despises the way they were/are treated in order to achieve maximum potential and than left in the dust.
im waiting for this :D
I need to listen to the new album ASAP
That s possible now on Spotify.
Sport frei is a greeting. Youre right.
GAME'S 2024 TILL❤✌
If the weights were real he had casually broken the world record in the last frames 😂💪
The album is stabbing sweet sick. Best non Rammstein work. Both instrumentaly and voice versatility.
Till the last German Poet ❤️🔥
Tanzerlerin... i hope i spelled that rite. Anyhow its the closest thing to a balled that Till has sung about.😊
Hört euch übers Meer an..😊schöne grüße aus Austria
I think it is an admiration and a lament.
Sportler können besser ficken als die Dicken😂🤣👍🤦♂er hat recht!
but this is not a love song.
3th sentense:
So much sweat and so many tears
Thin blood in thick veins
How the work is not the reward
Nothing at all, you get nothing from it
The gold from the winner's podium
Cannot be watered in barren water
Unfortunately the heart has not recovered
Been an instrument of good.

in germany- someone say till rape a girl....thats not real...our justice say he is free
omg
🤷♂️🤷♂️
Just because we like his music doesn't mean that as a person he is an angel.
Only the parties that are (perhaps) involved know better.
Шикарная песня и клип❤❤❤
