AMERICAN DAD REACTS | RAMMSTEIN - DEUTSCHLAND | REACTION / ANALYSIS | TOMTUFFNUTS REACTION CHANNEL

[@TomTuffnuts]

Hands Down 100% this was the best Rammstein Video and Song I have watched thus far. From start to finish this song kept me engaged and constantly made me feel apart of the video emotionally.

[@michaelfinck7487]

A lot of people do not understand the scenes with the dogs. This breed of dogs are not German Shepards, but Leonberger. This breed of dog narrowly escaped extinction during the First and Second World Wars and is symbolic of the German people, whose existence was also strongly threatened in those wars - both now have a second existential chance. The whole Video will understand only Historians and Germans and these people also have to watch the video several times. The song is about the ambivalent relationship of Rammstein and many Germans to their country, because of the violent and cruel history with extensive human crimes, especially in recent history. Therefore the video features various events from German history, including Roman times, the Middle Ages, witch hunting and burning, Protestant Reformation, the November Revolution, the "Golden Twenties" and hyperinflation, Nazi book burnings, the Hindenburg disaster, the First and Second World Wars, the Holocaust, the Weimar Republic, the Red Army Fraction (violent anti-capitalist terror alliance of young people and students against Nazis in high state and economy positions in post-war Germany), and the division of the country into West and East Germany including the Uprising June 17 in East Germany. The black woman represents Germany, sometimes as a victim, but mostly as a perpetrator. With her black skin she is also a provocation to all stupid racists The Holocaust was for this reason the greatest human crime because it was the first industrially organized mass murder in human history, by a country that was culturally at its highest point at this time in the world and called itself the country of poets and thinkers. But it is precisely the high cultural and scientific level of Germany that unfortunately caused others to be viewed as subhuman who can be killed without pity, just like animals. Seeing other people as inferior has always brought a lot of suffering to people

I don't get how anyone can watch the video and read the lyrics and still think they support Nazism or are proud of their country's history like that...

[@GummiAnd]

Leave it to Americans to jump to that conclusion..

[@cyanide7270]

Without going tinto my belief that people shouldnt feel guilty over actions they themselves did not commit, Germans ARE NOT proud of their history and ARE NOT still in support of Nazism, and are in fact extremely ashamed of it, more so than any American is over the Natives or blacks history. If thats the message you got from the video, then logical and critical thinking is very clearly not your strong suit.

[@ThisFiasco]

First they came for the communists.

[@LorisNoKami]

Even going off a surface level interpretation of the video it takes a special kind of moron to see Rammstein in a circle, dressed in striped pyjamas, shooting SS officers in the face and still go "Oh yeah, they support Nazism"

The Holocaust just stayed way more in the collective memory because it happened rather recently and took place in europe. But if you go further back pretty much any major player in history commited crimes that could be counted as genocides at least once. Hell the UK and it's colonies were happily murdering natives by the millions all around the world over centuries up to the 1920ies until they decided that killing people is a bad thing if others do it during WWII. And yet they like to pretend that they are that good guys that liberated the world.

[@spring_in_paris]

Hello. You did quite good. Kudos. I'm from Germany so let me give you some thoughts from someone who's born here. First of all, first time I watched the video I was shocked and deeply moved. The song/ video takes a very deep look into our german souls and how most of us feel about our country. It's a love- hate- relationship. The video is loaded with tons of symbols, that as a German you catch onto. Let's start: in the intro you see Germania ( Personification of Germany) during roman/ germanian tribes time. The red Lazer represents the "red thread" of the story/ history. Astronauts from the future bringing Germania in a glass coffin (snow-white) so she can lead through the/her german history. Next you observe the twenties(Weimar Republic).The prison scene representing the rough, violent times especially for the majority of the population struggling to survive. Money raining down/ the great depression. And Germany's first try as a democratic state. In between Germania is dressed in knight's armor awaking her knights/band with the Lazarus spear. Next Germania is pushed in a wheelchair by the band through the Berlin Holocaust Memorial with burning bodies. Next vignette the office scene showing east Germany and west Germany reunited (1989). Then you're being taken back to mideveal times, monks/ church are feasting off of Germania. In most scenes you'll see some church man involved. No coincidence. The concentration camp scene in the background you see V2 rockets ignition. The inmates are wearing different types of stars on their chests and a sign on the gallows reads: no photos. Germania wears an eye-patch first on her left, than on her right eye. Than a quick shot of Germania dressed modern with lots of gold leading german shepherds., representing Germany's wealth. The 70's scene shows the RAF- extremists holding Germania/ Germany hostage. Next vignette is the witch burnings shifting to the book burning. If you have a close look, at minute 4:45 you see a church man holding up a cross hugging a Nazi, symbolising the churches over all position to the horrific events happening during 1933-1945. The birth scene. Germania is giving birth to dogs respectively "Leonberger" a breed preferred by Kings and Queens. The Breed almost went extinct during WW1 and WW2. A cardinal helping (dressed in red) a new Germany being born. At minute 5:50 you see the riots against refugees homes in the 90's in Hoyerswerda. Molotovs are being thrown and a car is being pushed over with the help of a man dressed in Nazi uniform. Than the scenes/ time vignettes start shifting faster and faster, showing how many times, when circumstances becoming to extreme everything is falling apart and Germania ( dressed in knight's) armor is crying. The outro is the piano version of the song "Sonne" which completed how we feel thinking of our past: a sense of sadness. To sum it up. Germany has a long, wild, violent, unique history, because we as a state of today exist only since 1989. Yet the roots go back a very long time. "Young and yet so old" I hope that helped a little to understand the video and with that us Germans. We don't have a strong feeling of patriotism, but a strong sense of unity. It's complicated. With love from Germany 🤘 😎

If I recalled it correctly in Germany was a lot of critics how they promoted the video. They publiced a snippet with the concentration camp scene as a teaser. After the video was released most of the critics disappeared. The video itself is a pure masterpiece. They put a lot of thoughts in.

[@megatwingo]

Hi, I'm from Germany. Rammstein is playing a classic "Industrial Metal" style. A 50-50 mix of synthesizers and hard metal guitars. A big part of the German history in one video. The black woman as Germania. Germania is the personification of the German nation. It isn't and wasn't a goddess or Joan of Arc. The glass coffin: It is Little Snow White from the Grimm-fairytales....and from their own video "Sonne". Only with black skin and in space. The piano song at the end is the song "Sonne", too. The words "Germania Magna" at the beginning are a Roman name for the area of Germany, that wasn't conquered by the Roman Empire at that time. Germania Superior and Germania Inferior were the Roman conquered areas (Roman provinces) of Germany. The line in this song "So jung und doch so alt" (So young and yet so old) means: Germany as a unified state is very young. A unified German nation is only existing from 1871 onwards. Before that year of unification Germany was made of countless, little mini-states and the people identified first and foremost as Prussians, Hessians, Saxons etc, etc, etc. and only in a second line of thought they had a lose sense of being somehow Germans, too, as a kind of unifying second identity. So the area & the landscape where the Germans are living and the Germans themselves as a people...are thousands of years old. But only recently, in 1871, there was a unified Germany as one single state. So Germany as a unified state is very young...and at the same time it is thousands of years old. The battle of the Teutoburg forest against the Romans (and Rammstein as Roman soldiers and Germans alike). That battle is of ABSOLUTE importance for the German history. The hanged bodies in the trees were the beaten Roman soldiers, who were gruesome sacrificed to the Germanic gods...and were partly nailed to the trees. The Varus-(Teutoburg)-Battle was already in 9 AD. In 16 AD were the vengeance campaigns of commanding field general Germanicus under Emperor Tiberius Augustus. Therefore we see here the arrival of the Roman troops of Germanicus and they are watching their dead comrades hanging in the trees or getting their heads chopped off (for nailing them to the trees). In reality the Romans under Germanicus found only the bones of the Varus army in the various ways they were slaughtered, sacrificed and displayed at the trees. Slaves were liberated even decades after the battle. After the scenes with the Romans we saw the Hindenburg Zeppelin disaster (the burning Zeppelin in the background). The moustaches and clothing from the fight scene are from WWI and post WWI years. From the working class people in WWI and the roaring 20's. In the WWII years later on this kind of big bushy moustache was already out of fashion. The falling banknotes in the prison are not about corruption. That scene is about the hyper-inflation of the 1920's, that took away the savings of the Germans and left them in deep poverty and desperation. One had to pay a loaf of bread with a handcart full of nearly worthless banknotes back then and it hit the German people deep down inside and in their souls. Especially the poor ones and the simple workers. The V2 rocket (first manmade object in space) as technical triumph of the German spirit...and at the same time the killing of the concentration camp prisoners in the bunker factories below the mountains during the production of that rocket. This scene in the video could be a representation of a very specific concentration camp. It was "Mittelbau-Dora" below the Kohnstein mountain. A mixture between a big, huge bunker factory for V1 and V2 rockets and a concentration camp. The concentration camp inmates had several different markings for different kinds of convicts and their "crimes" sown to their chests, like it was in reality, too. A pink triangle for homosexuals, the star of David for Jews and two of them were marked with the double-triangles for Jehovas Whitnesses. The book burnings of the Nazis and the burning of the witches of the church. In the same scene with the book burning there is EVEN MORE going on. The cooperation of the church with the Nazis, when the priest with the cross embraces the Nazi SA-man. The scene with the sign with the Hammer and a pair of compasses in a circle of wheat is the sign of the GDR (DDR). The socialst German state in the east that existed before the German reunification. Therefore it was Karl Marx in the background in the scene with the tank (not the scene at the concentration camp). The scene with Rammstein wielding guns (the pumpgun) and taking Germania hostage was about leftwing terrorism of the 1970's. The terrorists were called the RAF (Rote Armee Fraktion). My interpretation of the red scanner-like beams: There are two different kinds of beams. The massive straight red light beam that goes up into the heavens AND there were those smaller, thinner "scanner" beams. Aliens (or humans from the future) are scanning the whole German history. Like some real scientists are scanning and excarvating ancient Mexican or Egyptian statues, for example. The massive red light beam is the red ribbon of time that ties together all the historical events. PS: As for the dogs: Germans are fanatical dog lovers. We are a dog-owner nation. The dog is a firm part of Germany. PPS: They didn't eat the body of the woman and her inner organs, even if it really looked that way. They were eating the national dish of Germany, that was put on the body of the black woman: Sauerkraut, Kassler & sausages. In my opinion it symbolizes the church eating itself fat on the goods and values and food of Germany during the simple people (farmers, simple workers etc) lived a long time in a kind of hell of poverty and serfdom (the red fetish area below the table with Germania on it). But that eating scene could indeed have a double meaning. It could represent the 30 years war, that was fought for religious reasons and depopulated large areas of Germany. It forced the people to commit canibalism because nobody was there anymore to produce food. Except the fat, wealthy people of the church, of course. They were still able to eat enough. Only the simple people at the bottom (farmers etc) died from hunger and had to fight and die in that war. The 30 years war was the biggest catastrophe in Germany until WWI happened. PPPS: The short scene with the dogs and their gas masks = WWI, where in reality animals (messenger dogs & horses) AND soldiers were wearing gas masks, too. PPPPS: The puppies at the end are Leonberger dogs. The Leonbergers nearly went extinct during WWI and WWII. PPPPPS: The black woman in the prison was dressed in a Prussian uniform with a Prussian helmet. Till sings the famous, often misinterpreted, line of the "Deutschlandlied" (Song of the Germans), that is not forbidden in Germany but simply isn't sung anymore in our modern national anthem. Till sings in his version the line "Deutschland über allen" (Germany above everybody) What is a BIG change to the real line in the orginal Deutschlandlied-song. In the original Deutschlandlied song it is written as "Deutschland über alles" (Germany above everything). The real, whole line of that old Deutschlandlied goes "Deutschland, Deutschland über alles. Über alles in der Welt" (Germany, Germany above everything. Above everything in the world). This line is often misinterpreted by many people as chauvinism and as a looking down upon all other countries on this planet. But that is wrong and not many people know about that in Germany and elsewhere. The writer of that famous line didn't meant it in a chauvinistic way. When that song was written, Germany was divided into umphteenth mini-states, what made Germany relative powerless and defenseless. Therefore the task of German unification was the goal above any other goal for all Germans (at least the writer of the song meant it that way). So the main goal for all Germans had to be the united Germany. The goal of "(united) Germany above everything else". That was, how that line was meant by the writer of the song. The line isn't forbidden, like many people wrongly think. It's simply not sung anymore and not part of the official anthem of modern Germany anymore. This has NOT its reason in the seemingly chauvinist meaning of "Deutschland über alles", like many people wrongly think. This whole stanza of the Deutschlandlied isn't sung anymore, because in other parts of the stanza are borders and landscapes mentioned, that aren't German borders and landscapes anymore. We want to live in peace with the people and countries, who are now living in those former German lands and therefore we don't sing about those old borders and landscapes anymore. It has nothing to do with the "Deutschland über alles" line in that stanza, like many people wrongly are thinking. Finally: The scenes I'm now talking about are pretty dark and low light. The WWII submarine in the submarine bunker during the astronauts are walking by with the glass coffin. I think, the choice of the black woman as main actress was made, because: a) it makes any accusations of racism and fascism against Rammstein useless b) she represents one colour of the German flag and she is wearing the rest of the colours of our German flag as makeup and jewellery and clothes on her body: Black, Red and Gold c) it provokes many people EVEN MORE 😄 Greetings Mega

[@megatwingo]

PS: KZbin didn't allow me to integrate this information into the bigger text (above) for unknown reasons, therefore I'm posting it here: The troops, who smashed the Jewish shops during the Kristallnacht (not shown in the video) were SA (Sturmabteilung) in brown uniform and not the later SS (Schutzstaffel) in the black uniform. The SA did all the dirty work at the beginning of the Nazi rise to power...until the "Night of the long knives", an inner-Nazi power struggle, happened. The head of the SA (Ernst Röhm) was killed and from then on the SA was turned more and more into the SS under Himmler. The book burnings were part of the early Nazi years, too, and were done by the SA, too. One can see the SA burning the books and Till is watching it in a brown SA uniform. Both, Kristallnacht and book burnings were different things and happened at different times. The book burnings happened over a longer timespan at different locations at different times during the Kristallnacht was one big "event" that happened at one single day. Kristallnacht means "Crystal Night" and was called that way, because the smashed shop windows of the Jewish shops looked like thousands of crystals on the ground. But in the Rammstein video I've only seen the book burnings. PPS: The two beer drinking soldiers to the left side of the table, where Germania is lying on and where the priests are eating Sauerkraut & Sausages from her body, are not French soldiers and they aren't representing the French revolution. Those two beer drinking soldiers are Prussian soldiers and they are emphasizing the importance of Prussia for the German history. As far as I could see: They were from the era of Friedrich der Große (The Old Fritz), who was of extraordinary importance for German history. Amongst many other achievements he was the one, who brought the potato to Prussia and Germany. That saved many Germans from hunger and the potato became one of the most beloved foods in Germany on that way.

Sombebody made an unofficial video with English lyrics-subtitles...but cut away the whole, relative long and important beginning and the whole, relative long, end with the very moving piano part and reduced the video basically to the part, where the "boom boom" is happening.

I had this same reaction the first time I watched this video personally. My jaw just open and hanging there overwhelmed and just trying to take it all in. Having a decent grasp of German language made me appreciate this song and video so much more than I would have when I first got into this band back when I was 11 years old.. I didn't speak much German back then, I understood a bit, I needed to to be able to communicate with my Opa and Oma.. I REALLY got to love this band in my early teens, around 12-14 years of age.. Now I am 33 and they have become my all time favorite band right next to Slayer who was the band who got me into heavy metal, well extreme metal to be exact... I was a metalhead since birth.. I still have memories of when I was a literal baby and my dad having me sitting on the couch next to him on his days off work just listening to Iron Maiden and such, and televised professional wrestling from the late 80s and early 90s.

The entry scene takes place several years after the Roman defeat in the Teuteburg forest. The Roman legionary with a bandaged head is Flavius, the younger brother of Arminius, the victor of the battle and "national hero". He was fighting on the Roman side. The head the black Germania cuts off the body is NOT the head of a Roman, but the one of Arminius. This symbolises the birth of Deutschland: It started as a war amoung brothers, one in favour and one against Rome. Throughout the clip the theme of brother war is constant. As is the the contrast between positive and negative. Astronauts are featured as well as the V2 rocket of WW2, which is the mother of civil space flight as well as nuclear ICBMs. In one of the first scenes a crippled Germania is roled in a wheel chair through the burning holocaust memorial in Berlin. The film is so full of symbols, even snowwhite is included! (The glass coffin put into space).

[@amygoodson-catlady]

Rammstein has never shied away from being as controversial as they want. They've achieved enough success to pretty much piss everyone off. Yes, those are the wings from Engel. The outro music is from their song, Sonne. The video is representative of German history from Roman times to the future, both good and bad history. If you're surprised at Till cross-dressing...you need to check out more Rammstein (Mann Gehgen Mann video...but be warned, it's about being accepting of male homosexuality) and Till's solo project Lindemann.

@6:40 with this one the beat is fairly simple but the text isnt , generally they have reasonably simple beats but interesting symphonica and industrial takes in it, but its a real songwriters band, text is above the music in complexity generally, this song is about how the reunification and modernity in germany still leaves a hole and how there hasnt , as a nation, been reconciled with the past

There’s a great video by three arrows that breaks down this song. Americans are particularly ignorant of other countries history, sht edu system and living in the imperial core, makes us not just ignorant, but uninterested in the rest of the world. Most of us can’t go to college for a well rounded liberal arts edu bc we need to make as much money as possible, as fast as possible; in order to pay off our student loans. So we don’t “waste” time studying world history, art, etc. The propaganda we grow up on tells us we’re uniquely special and our history is The history. But I’ve found the more I’ve broken free of the propaganda we’re raised on of, American exceptionalism, the more interested I’ve become in the rest of the world. Srsly, non American history is particularly fascinating. This song got me super interested in German history. Recent events have pushed me to learn about Russian history, as well as that of old soviet bloc countries. Other countries have some crazy interesting history. America is young, and other countries have a millennia of history, and that makes it so much more interesting.

With your mustache and haircut you look like a WW I-II German soldier in his "Unterhemd", you know. 😉👍

[@annaricci4686]

Rammstein ❤🔝🔥

[@tiffanyabell9070]

They had a single just come out last week called ZEIT which means time. They have a new album coming out in april. Its called ZEIT. Its incredibly cool as hell dude. It will get blocked if you try to post a reaction this soon after being released. Especially rammstein songs. If you enjoyed this you will definitely like ZEIT. But I've seen people react to the sound without the picture and obviously didn't get blocked.

[@noellzy]

Check out "Zeit", Rammstein released it recently and the song and video are exquisite.

[@Northman-from-the-North]

The first scenes symbolize the Battle of Teutoburg forest in september 15, in the year 9 A.D. An alliance of Germanic tribes ambushed and slaughtered a whole Roman legion led by general Publius Cuinctilius. #history-nerd 😁

[@martinguandjienchan7525]

Its the aftermath of the battle, when Rome tried to reconquer Germania Major and they found the corpses of the Romans hanging from the trees. The Legionary with the bandage is Flavius, Arminius brother who fought with the Romans. The head cut of is the one of Arminius, not Varus.

You might want to take a look at Heilung - Krigsgaldr Live from the LIFA show (kzbin.info/www/bejne/h4PKkGuEg7WHepo). I won't say too much about it to not spoil the surprise. But one detail: this is the very first live performance Heilung ever did and it was named one of the ten best performances of 2017 by Metal Hammer magazine. And this despite the fact that they don't use electric guitars, no bass and no drum kit. It's the entrance to a rabbit hole....

[@sonjaleesloth]

I like them too!

[@henningschwarz1862]

9:14 Till is dressed as Ulrike Meinhof the rest of the band represent the other members of the Raf (rote Armee Fraktion) Red army faction a far left militant organization founded in 1970 the were responsible for 34 deaths.

[@black_peddy7255]

By the way, the singer is just going on solo. Would love to see your reaction to it. Lindemann - Steh auf (english: stand up)

[@purpleelephantdebh]

you should see the new one for Zeit. it's mind blowing.

[@_M_a_r_t_i_n_M]

HOW WOULD I HAVE GUESSED THAT YOU WERE GOING TO MENTION SABATON AS A MORE 'RECENT' BAND WHO PICKED UP WHERE RAMMSTEIN BOTH STARTED AND LEFT OFF FOR FUTURE TRUE ARTISTS!!!!! Not many can see the parallels. And they are not the same genre. But have a very similar impact for those who 'get the music'.

[@Bloodbound89]

yes that should be the wings from "engel" i mean till itself is hanging in wings in the performances nowadays :D btw you seemd disgusted by the fact that monks used women as "living tables" :D or did you misslooked that for cannibalism ? because thats a common mistake from many the outro music is the piano verison of their song "sonne"

@3:50 dno almost all their songs are quite epic in production; mein herz brennt, links 2 3 4, es tut mir weh, deutschland, the new one zeit

[@steventongate9016]

Zeit is breathtaking. A whole different level of epic.

[@Shademon]

I like your reaction, follow the red light - diffrent period of Germany.Enjoy !

[@mik9124]

This is ages of History in 10 minutes , even without the Lyriks not to understand . The irony is, we had to live with what an Austrian (A.H.) made of Germany for generations because the people let it happen out of fear, we had to be ashamed of this past for so long. Then came reunification, East/West Germany and again there was distrust among the people. We had a hard road to walk to become one to this day, it's still going on. And we still have to let ourselves be scolded as NAZIS today. But we know....war sucks. Because we had to live with the consequences. Some Leaders at this time seem mightily drunk to experience this as well. You can never win without losing something, which also affects your children.

[@steventongate9016]

Zeit just released yesterday and is epic in an entirely different sense. PLEASE check that out as well.

[@TomTuffnuts]

My reaction to it was globally blocked. If it gets approved, it will take up to a few weeks to be seen :(

[@steventongate9016]

@@TomTuffnuts Good lord. I made my first reaction video ever for Zeit, still editing it, and I'm going to try and figure out a work around for this. I know some people have to mute the song, distort it, turn down the opacity of the video and many other things for their videos to post. I hope you're able to post it soon.

[@sk8mysterion]

Have you seen "sonne" from rammstein, it's also an exceptional music video ✌️. Also, you could look up the background of the video, just saying.

Man, did you already watched the official video from "Men Teil" ?

[@arnodobler1096]

Rammstein Zeit (Time) the new video is out now

[@anniemaes6387]

even knowing German history, this is a difficult video

[@peekaboosue]

React to their new song "Zeit"

[@cyanide7270]

If it wasnt already apparent, the song is about the duality of being German, both wanting to love their country and be proud to call themselves German, but CANNOT do so because of all of the atrocities that have been committed in the name of "Deutschand", Germany. Its along the same lines as being American and being ashamed of all the Native massacres and black lynchings and segregation, or being a Russian civilian today and being a pat of getting Putin into power, only for this current shituation to have occured.

[@tryerror09]

Till a Crossdresser? if you dare then listen to "mann gegen mann" -- first the official video, an afterwards a wonderful live performance in paris

[@ebola2.0]

[@thedoctor5268]

Try Angst Rammstein awesome

[@herm7566]

to understand the video correctly you have to know the history of germany and pay attention to every little detail

[@ZebSound]

Where he is crossdressing that should show the RAF time in german in the 70-90s

[@assurhex1449]

"This is Rammstein's epic." Zeit rolls around. That comment didn't hold up well.

[@leebowski5261]

You cant undstand this video if your not German. The black woman stands for our country. See our natioal colours. Black Red Gold. Also theres a lot of our History. I believe youe never heard of the RAF. The red army fraction(Rote Armee Fraktion). This was a Terror Group in the 70/80s. and theres so much more about Germany in this video. Love your reaction.

[@sh0werp0wer]

I'm non-German and I understood it. I definitely missed some specific symbolisms, but even Germans do that. I think the biggest barrier is that it's not subtitled in English, which is a shame considering the large international audience Rammstein has and how little effort it would require to just add English subs. Once you know the lyrics and basic German history you're pretty close to getting it (but most Americans are very ignorant of non-US history). To get the last piece you need awareness of Germans' difficult relationship with patriotism and national pride though, as the song isn't just about "duality" or "love/hate relationship", at least how I interpret it, it's also about the frustration/difficult feeling of not being able to express pride or patriotism. Knowing this context, "my love I can't give you" reads more like "I wish I could give you my love" than "I don't want to give you my love". I knew this context going into the song, even though I'm not German, I had both seen it (i.e. German flags rarely seen in national sports), and heard the reasons for it. I may be above average educated on this but I don't see it as super advanced knowledge that only a German would know, it's just that Americans in particular have disappointingly little knowledge of European history.

[@duncanmccann2715]

It's a shame that US citizens know so little of European history, but I guess that's just the way it is. Is this the definitive epic Rammstein song? The video and the song together are certainly epic, but if you heard the song without ever having seen the video, would it feel the same? It is of course my opinion only, I really enjoy Deutchland, it is a really good song - for me, without the video it's still good, but not as epic. My choice for the definitive Rammstein song would be Mein Herz Brennt, strangely, both versions, but the piano version is really Till's personal property, so the full band version and the video are the one for me.

If you liked this one go watch their new video Zeit👍🏻

[@Ikmijnnaam]

Work on your ''a'' sounds a little bit in Europe we don't turn the a into an e, the ''a'' is a short one and the sound can be compared to the a sound in words like euhhhh : shock for instance, so use that sound and pronounciation to pronounce the European ''a'' sound and then flatten it out till you get the '' a '' sound well actually a better example would be the word fuck, so the u in your language is close to how you pronounce our '' a ''' but that is only for the short '' a '' sounds not the longer ones soooo work on it, you cannot mix English and German or Dutch or whatever language you want to use. You can hear it in the song right ? How Deutschland is pronounced ? Put in some effort please, German is not hard it is one of the easiest languages out there ! Come on !
