"Zu Asche, Zu Staub" from the hit series Babylon Berlin Original Soundtrack.
Available now: BMG.lnk.to/BabylonBerlinID
Written and composed by Nikko Weidemann, Mario Kamien and Tom Tykwer
Produced by Nikko Weidemann and Mario Kamien
Performed by Severija
„BABYLON BERLIN“ - INGENIOUS SOUNDTRACK ACCOMPANYING THE OUTSTANDING 16-EPISODE TV-SERIES INVITES TO A PANOPTIC EXPERIENCE OF 1920's BERLIN ON 2 CDs.
„BABYLON BERLIN“ is the hitherto costliest German TV-series. But it is already standing firm that the 16-episode series will be a hitting endeavour, with licences bought by most European countries and North America. "BABYLON BERLIN" is the first joint TV-series project by X Filme Creative Pool, Sky, ARD and Beta Film. Tom Tykwer, Henk Handloegten and Achim von Borries are directors and screenplay writers.
Based on an internationally bestselling thriller by novelist Volker Kutscher featuring detective Gereon Rath, „BABYLON BERLIN“ is set in the decadent and glamorous world of 1920's Berlin. Unbound hedonism, drugs and politics, homicide and art, emancipation from sexual stereotyping and extremism - „BABYLON BERLIN“ navel-gazes the mores of 1920's Berlin, perfectly staged.
Simultaneously released to the start of the series on Pay-TV, its soundtrack unites 34 tracks in a 2-CD-Set, which work as an impressive musical accompaniment to the striking pictures of the series.
Watch Babylon Berlin now! All 16 episodes available for streaming - only at Sky.

LYRICS:
Zu Asche, zu Staub
Dem Licht geraubt
Doch noch nicht jetzt
Wunder warten bis zuletzt
Ozean der Zeit
Ewiges Gesetz
Zu Asche, zu Staub
Zu Asche
Doch noch nicht jetzt
Zu Asche, zu Staub
Dem Licht geraubt
Doch noch nicht jetzt
Wunder warten
Doch noch nicht jetzt
Wunder warten bis zuletzt
Es ist doch nur ein Traum
Das bloße Haschen nach dem Wind
Wer weiß es schon genau?
Die Uhr an deiner Wand
Sie ist gefüllt mit Sand
Leg deine Hand in mein'
Und lass uns ewig sein
Du triffst nun deine Wahl
Und wirfst uns zwischen Glück und Qual
Doch kann ich dir verzeihen
Du bist dem Tod so nah
Und doch dein Blick so klar
Erkenne mich, ich bin bereit
Und such mir die Unsterblichkeit
Es ist doch nur ein Traum
Das bloße Haschen nach dem Wind
Wer weiß es schon genau?
Die Uhr an deiner Wand
Sie ist gefüllt mit Sand
Leg deine Hand in mein'
Und lass uns ewig sein
Du triffst nun deine Wahl
Und wirfst uns zwischen Glück und Qual
Doch kann ich dir verzeihen
Du bist dem Tod so nah
Und doch dein Blick so klar
Erkenne mich
Ich bin bereit
Und such mir die Unsterblichkeit

The singing alone is a masterpiece of mixed metaphors. A woman dressed as a man. A Russian singing in German with a Berliner accent. Then there is the white women doing the banana dance, made famous in Paris by Josephine Baker. The band with influences from American big band to Klezmer. This one scene encapsulates the artistic boiling stew of east and west that made Berlin the nervous beating heart of a people haunted by the horror of empire and serfdom, plus the worst banking system in German history.

[@yannick245]

_"The Sopranos"_ and _"The Wire"_ are still my all-time favorite TV shows by far. But yes, _"Babylon Berlin"_ and _"Gomorrah",_ from Italy, are far better than anything that comes out of Hollywood/the US film industry. Both are/were made by "Sky" and public film funds. Still, America has the best film industry in the world by far. But by the large quantity, the quality is often lacking. I'm hoping HBO is going to put out another well-made show again. They're the best! They always film their shows were they actually take place. Not inside some Hollywood studios. It's silly when a show like _"NCIS",_ which is taking place in Washington DC and the surrounding area, is being filmed in f**king California!

[@wolframmesopoly9849]

Unbelievable - what a song. It hits on the feeling of the exuberant past epoch in Germany, when Berlin was probably the coolest, most artistic, most beautiful, trendsetting and perhaps also the most decadent city in the world. The song has to get a Grammy. And the series is also breathtaking and frightening at the same time. I've never seen anything like this before - and I am 56.

Love how the melancholy nature of the song and lyrics mix up with the weird costumes and choreography on the stage and the crowd in total bliss. The fast cutting of the violent, pornographic, and nightmarish scenes adds to the feeling of being trapped with them in a decadent, nihilistic, and almost doomed society. They really captured the idea of the "Roaring Twenties" in a single music video.

Dieses Lied und die Filmszenen gehören zum besten, das ich je gesehen habe: Das Lied baut eine unglaubliche Spannung auf, es ist gleichsam herrlich düster und süß melancholisch. Eine großartige Komposition, sehr emotional auch sehr dynamisch durch den tollen Rhythmus und das Schlagzeug Solo. Die Filmszene ist unfassbar gut gestaltet: wie das Publikum in dem Tanzlokal langsam zu einer Einheit verschmilzt im hypnotischen Rhythmus des Liedes und genau wie der Zuschauer so stark angezogen wird von der Melodie. Wie der Zuschauer ist das Publikum in der Szene fasziniert von der Musik. Wenn das Lied dann beendet ist, geht die Filmhandlung weiter , aber dieses wunderbare Element bleibt für sich alleine strahlend als bleibender Eindruck bestehen!!!!.

I have loved this series. I have watched in the first 3 seasons 4 times since I discovered it 2 months ago. I discover so much each time. The music, the costumes, the dancing, the acting, the multiple storyline’s, the ability to immerse in this period of time and really lose yourself. Amazing. I wish more people knew of this series, I am in Australia and there aren’t that many people I know that have watched it.

[@frankmaag927]

Die Details machen es zu einem Kunstwerk!!

[@user-jg8cc9co5b]

Same here in Greece. None of my relatives, friends, or colleagues know about this series, which is a pity. It's a masterpiece. I accidentally came across it, and I'm currently watching it. I'm hooked!

From a long way of German class … what a masterpiece. true artistry ❗️

Hut ab Tom Twyker für dieses Meisterwerk, mit großartigen Schauspielern und Musik, die die 20 er Jahre nochmals aufleben lassen! Diese Produktion hat sich definitiv gelohnt!

[@dennisliamardell8906]

This film is the best one I have seen since “ Seven Beauties ,” The acting is superb - makes Hollywood , actors laughable. I know people who do not know a word of German , but, watched it several times - in German - after viewing it in English - Can not wait for a fifth year- Lottie is mesmerizing. Wonderful to have shown The German people who were so beaten down after World WAR ONE; as like us - no better, no worse - A real connection with The German perspective having to deal with Bolsheviks and the Treaty of Versailles .

[@steevburgess2627]

So much better than anything Hollywood or USA TV could have come up with. Probably the best series of the last ten years for me.

Love from India 🇮🇳 Best series. I hope season 4 available soon. 🙏

[@denjhill]

I continue my journey through the Weimar Republic specifically Berlin by reading every author who writes about this period. I am entranced by the drama, the intrigue, the descent into the hell that followed. Being of German ancestry I also feel I need to understand how an entire country could be steered into the depravity of the 40's. This song and the characters are the most evocative presentations I have witnessed in a long time. And help me better understand the German psyche of the period. Stunning.

Hätte Til Schweiger dort mitgespielt,wäre dieser Film eine Kathastrophe geworden! Aber so ist das eines der besten Filmmeisterwerke,die Ich je zu sehen bekam! Es wird nie Langweilig in dieser Serie!Die Ausleuchtung...die Musik...die Perfekten Darsteller...die Handlung...einfach alles!

[@01devlieger]

@@HarryGoesRed You see, even those "better and democratic" times looked the way they did. Germany has always been a police state. Poland is a topic for another discussion, but just in those aspects we are talking about now - I can't blame her that much. I don't know if you know, but Poland is the only country in Europe (perhaps in the world) that has never punished homosexuality. While in Germany, or France - such a law was removed from the codes as late as the 1980s.

[@HarryGoesRed]

@@01devlieger wasn't there a military coup in poland in the 20s? And after this the Sanacja regime? Then getting capitulated by the Wehrmacht in 35 days, just to be under soviet rule after this for 50 years. And now u have a PIS(S) Party at rule, that makes politics like its the 1930s all over again.Yeah sounds great! Better demand those war reparations again, maybe someone gives a fuck.

I had to watch the entire final credits to get the name of this particular track, played during the ending credits. As an English speaking Canadian, I can honestly say this series is probably the best foreign language series I have ever had the opportunity to watch and enjoy. The music, the era, Berlin!, the acting, the costumes, and the Weimar Republic. There is so much going on in this series, for which it truly defined the term "binge watching" for me.

[@orpheus9037]

This song really does crawl into your brain and take up residence. Always enjoy watching the club performance sequence as the audience sings and dances along. Looking forward to season 3 of BB - unfortunately, it takes a tragic turn: the grand experiment of the Weimar Republic is near over and the Nazis are seizing power. Should be fascinating nonetheless. The Germans really are doing a fantastic job with their long narrative TV series. Along with BB, for those of you who've not seen "Dark" yet - watch it. One of the greatest series ever produced for television. Anywhere.

[@blackribbon3818]

Dark and BB, best German shows I've watched. Any other recommendations?

[@orpheus9037]

@@dawarrior95 Non German? Of recent vintage, I strongly recommend two series currently on HBO Max: Station 11 and The Leftovers. Both are exceptional. For something really off the beaten path - and what I consider perhaps one of the greatest things ever put on television anywhere - the BBC's 1986 6 episode series The Singing Detective. It is beyond description. KZbin has all six episodes here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/rHqUYZKYe96kn8k (I posted a response earlier and for some reason the damn thing got scrubbed, so this is my second attempt)

@@fabianb.5348 na ja, das hängt immer davon ab, was man sich anschaut.

Aber die Serien wie Babylon Berlin oder Dark sind zwar ziemlich beliebt bei vielen Zuschauern, aber nicht beliebt genug, oder vielleicht hat sich die Verbreitungsfirma nicht genug darum bemüht, die Serien an den Chinesen zu verkaufen. Deswegen gibt es freiwillige Fans, die die Serien irgendwie heruntergeladen (ich weiss nicht wie) und dann ins Chinesische übersetzt haben.
