Sport frei is a sportsman's greeting from the workers' sports movement. It is currently used mainly in East Germany. After 1945, the greeting was reintroduced in the German Democratic Republic (GDR). This greeting (coach: "We greet each other with a sport ..." athlete: "... free!") was also used in the GDR to start school sports lessons and all forms of (team) training, as well as competitions in various sports. "Sport frei" is not a fighting term of the neo-Nazi scene, but is generally used in a non-political way. Nevertheless, a right-wing fashion label, for example, is trying to hijack the term for the hooligan scene. The song is a homage to Till Lindemann's earlier days, he was a competitive swimmer and was also nominated for the German Olympic team This album is a masterpiece as it stands before the Lord: A lyrical monument of Mr. Lindemann, Tough but heartfelt 😍😍😍😍 Favorite song of the New Album: Übers Meer ( what an awesome tenor and soprano voice from Mr. Lindemann, goosebumps feeling!!!!!) Du hast kein Herz Alles für die Kinder (what an oppressive mood is generated in this song) The song "Tanzlehrerin" can't be taken seriously and only Till can come up with such lyrics, a typical Lindemann song, you can only grin and laugh out loud. Greetings from Switzerland.
This is the first time I see a reaction video to this song by an actual athlete. It is very interesting how much the reaction differs between people with athletic background and ones without. The first two verses are very much kept neutral and open to debate. Whether it is admiration or resentment is up to you. But the third one is very personal I believe. Till was part of the GDR sports program for professional swimming. Back then this program was physically and mentally brutal. They would pump steroids into young athletes and tell them it was vitamins. Till got unusual heart murmurs because of that. That is why he sings: "The heart has not recovered".
Finally! I literally watched all of ur rammstein reaction because i really like how you try to figure the meaning out, im looking forward to reactions of tills new album!
Till solo album is really good. I know this song is about his experience as an East German swimming, training for the Olympics but he really didn’t want to be. and how people who do that go through a lot. I really like Übers Meer in particular on his album. It’s Zunge, the album. The other release is Lecker with 3 songs but those songs are also on Zunge. I hope there’s more videos to come on his channel.
the best reaction, telling as someone who participated in competitive sport but quit when i felt that im spending too much time into something giving me no profit whatsoever. Earned silver medal in world championship in Moscow (cuz i was heavier buy half a kg from 1st place). So yeah, competitive sport is not for everyone
good to see you back dude, and I'ave been waiting for someone to draw attention to the crazy training ragime of modern sports men and women, and no better person than Herr Linderman
There is the line "foreign hormones in the testicles", which refers to the illegal homon treatments of talented athletes (often without their knowledge or consent) in East Germany, but also in Russia and China.
I grew up in the GDR too and find it despicable how children's lives were treated there and how they were given hormones and performance-enhancing substances without their knowledge. If you defend this, then you have not understood the message of the song.
Till was forced into swimming by his parents and at the time, especially in the East, it was a great honour to your family and country to be an accomplished sportsman and Olympian. Unfortunately, the training was very brutal and it left Till emotionally and physically scarred. Amongst other things, he completely tore his abdominal muscles.
Get well soon!! Was really waiting for reactions of Tills new stuff! Only 5 more weeks till his concert in Rotterdam ❤ East Germany was known for their steroid use with athletes. They had a complete programm for it.
Random thoughts and Im just comng ot of a hypo so excpect typo's etc! Till was being trained (?groomed) to be for olypic swimmer as youth in formerly known as east germany under soviet rule before reunification. He was swimming i believe at competition level and even went to somewhere possibly in russia I can't think clearly, he got it trouble for sneakig out post curfew to buy porn magazine. unfortunately (or manybe fortunate deepdedning on your per spective) he injured badly his knee and not able to compete at thhat leevel from then. (The infamous Till Hammer he does onstage in R+ started because his knee dislocated during a performance and he was trying to force his knee back into place with the movement or i guess a similar movement, from the old knee injury) Therefroe i think this song very VERY personal to Till IMO. He did train, he did go with, or without, he would hav been counting the tiles of the pool, no time for self, it is for the 'greater good', up early, push push push, nd yeah f8ck knows what hormonse or other chemical concoctions he was given probably without his (informed) consent or maybe against wishes, while the years run away from him, pushing and being pushed to breaking point. And breaking through injury (and for violating curfew etc too). Things that still affect his life today The location of video, the olympic scenes, torch etc I believe filmed at Berlin Olympiastadion. (Forgive me if incorrect but i believe some refer to it as "hitlers stadium" and supposedly the way through to dressing rooms etc curved to make assassination atttempts harder). I think those scenes when he is on the podium is maybe like, almost a fuck you, like 'I am stood here in the olympic stadium on the winners podium and what does it even mean?' idk just some random probs more incoherent than normal thoughts i had.
Не гоните на Россию, была спланирована кампания по дискредитации российских спортсменов! И это им почти удалось! Наши спортсмены самые лучшие, сильные! Не сотрите зубы от злобы!
He was put through a brutal regime as a teenager training for the East German Olympic swimming team.
Ну очень « жестокому» просто стал ну очень худым и несчастным😂

Не надо выдумывать, когда Тиль был молодым, вас еще и не было в проете
Hey great reaction. Hope you get well soon. Till dropped a new album. I really would love to see you react to it. Have a nice sunday
Hey man, stay strong. You got this, you're built like a tank and clearly you're the same inside.

Fantastic review! Tills new Album just dropped on friday.

Earned silver medal in world championship in Moscow (cuz i was heavier buy half a kg from 1st place). So yeah, competitive sport is not for everyone
Hope you get better! Glad you're doing what you like! Till has a full album out, everything is on Marine's channel, look forward to it!
Ich kann deinem Kommentar nur zustimmen. Du hast sehr gut zusammengefasst, worum es in diesem Lied geht
good to see you back dude, and I'ave been waiting for someone to draw attention to the crazy training ragime of modern sports men and women, and no better person than Herr Linderman
Лучший обзор и реакция на этот клип. Как-будто Тилль лично для тебя писал
Great reaction my brother, hope you get to feeling better soon, take care!
3:39 He's not exaggerating at all.
That's exactly what people in order to become/be a professional athlete...
Its just that extreme in reality.
👍❤

and czechoslovakia , ... basically all eastern block countries
Вы уверены, что это не в западной Германии? Лишь бы написать , просто вас бесит, что эта группа из гдр

Yay im early. I wanted you to react to it. Just what i needed rn

Вы совсем сумасшедший? Тиль уже пожилой мужчина, и эта песня вообще не про него, если у вас ума не- не пишите глупости
@user-vp1ww2dk4i Maybe read one of his books or read his interviews, then you'd know it's about him..amongst other Olympians 🙄
Funfact: Till was a professional swimmer himself.
Get well soon!! Was really waiting for reactions of Tills new stuff! Only 5 more weeks till his concert in Rotterdam ❤
East Germany was known for their steroid use with athletes. They had a complete programm for it.
You hav to react to the full new album 😊 there is a hidden song at the end. It’s hilarious 😂
It is definitely NOT an Homage to sports...
All countrys were useing Dope!

Random thoughts and Im just comng ot of a hypo so excpect typo's etc!

Was waiting for you to react to this one bro
great commentary
Perfect Song for u
he was on the Olympic swim team an but the got an injury so he could not compete so more like a personal song
Нет! Не похоже, не все песни про личную жизнь и нечего все подряд приписывать к кому либо
...this is about all sportmens' day...just day buy day..:P
KEEP IN MIND THAT HE WAS EUROPE'S CHAMPION IN CLASSIC SWIMMING. SO THE TONE IS A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENT THEN

Не гоните на Россию, была спланирована кампания по дискредитации российских спортсменов! И это им почти удалось! Наши спортсмены самые лучшие, сильные! Не сотрите зубы от злобы!
He’s praising athletes for their sacrifice but also lamenting how, sadly, people only care about them if they win and discard the losers 😞
Just in case if all day you think of "how SPORT FREI would sound in Russian", you are welcome to my channel... Just in case...
you probable have Corona. Get rest some weeks, dont do sports for min 4 weeks
