Thanks for watching!

[@sebastianz.6238]

I would love to see/hear you react on one of their original songs. While I understand you might not be able to understand the text to me it doesn't matter as you're not analyzing the meaning / text anyways. Although their international success came with Tom's Diner going viral on TIKTOK and their older covers probably are neat for english speaking reactors they have been pretty big / successfull beforehand in Germany with their own music. I'd appreciate a reaction on "Pocahontas" which is on youtube as festival live and studio version :-) I'd love to learn what you think about their own songs and whether or not they use Henning's voice to the full capabilitty :-)

[@liag.350]

You should react to Ich gehe heute nicht mehr tanzen (Proberaum session), Tommi (live) and Orangenlied (live)

[@russellchallinor3117]

Try listening to AMK Made Me Believe - part of the Cardinal Sessions (various bands). It really showcases how good Henning's voice is acoustic guitar, drummer and his voice no mic. They just start playing g & singing in the middle of a lecture in an auditorium. You really see how tight they are as a band & how powerful his voice is.

[@riptidemonzarc3103]

I am definitely looking forward to your reaction to some of their original German compositions. Barfuß am Klavier or Pocahontas are probably their most popular early songs, but I would highly recommend Du Bist Anders (either in Standard German or their local Kölsch dialect) or Henning May's personal version of Ozean, where it is just him on guitar singing in an apartment.

[@juwen7908]

Yeah, 'Ozean' is just soo beautiful. Please do a reaction to this. ❤️❤️❤️

I don’t think I’ve seen musicians that enjoy what they do quite the way these boys do! Their enthusiasm is contagious!

[@bobcieslinski]

It sure is Melody.

[@derdox6720]

what i also like is at around 8:30 how henning starts to join in, but quickly lets off probably because he notices what natalie is building up to in the "why don't you come on over" part

[@bobcieslinski]

Good catch.

[@BO-kh1iz]

The guy playing the trumpet/horn is Ferdinand Schwarz. Like the guys from AnnenMayKantereit he is a musician from Cologne, Germany.

[@bobcieslinski]

Man he’s fantastic. What a solo.

[@caseyhelf521]

Big ups for answering the question!!! Nice!

[@Mr10592]

Flügelhorn for Sure.

[@gaylabruce9904]

I love Amy Winehouse and when someone can give her music proper justice i love it! This is one of the best covers of Valerie I've heard. Love the meshing of Natalie & Henning - their voices wirk so well. Amy would have loved it! ❤

[@Sujerina]

Fun fact Valarie wasn't Amy Winehouse (she even states this in her concert :) ) it was witten by the Zutons who made the song and the Zutons were one of Amy Winehouse favourite band who she credited for Valarie with her cover of the song Valarie :)

[@1965kfsd]

I loved how generous and supportive Henning May was at the beginning!

[@Mr10592]

I've noticed that he's a very attentive and supportive vocalist. I think he may be the blue wizard.

[@Sarahbetterlatethannever]

Hard song to cover. They did it beautifully! I just love his voice.

[@bobcieslinski]

They really did.

[@Tnmtlca6977]

They are beautiful together; her voice is great & the song is beautiful but Henning is outstanding!!! I love his music so much ❤❤❤

[@petrabohnhoff1410]

Wish you would react to "Barfuß am Klavier" and "Pocahontas" I Love their Style. Nowerdays their music ist more "cleaned", in the beginning they only recorded by them self often out on streets. It is what I call "real" music.

[@gaberox101]

One word. "WOW"! Loved the feel of the horn.

[@tesskennedy4959]

Your breakdowns are always interesting to me. Obviously, but I wouldn’t know or notice some really cool stuff if it weren’t for your comments. So thanks for adding to my enjoyment x

Thank you so much Tess. You made my day. Hope you keep watching.

[@nancydecambra3531]

When I started listening to them ,I love the guy that has the deep voice. I just love him. This video was different but I love it she awesome too. I'm 68 years old and always been listening to the music that I grow up with and I heard him sing a few old songs. And I just love it. I'll be listening to them from now on. ❤thank u for letting us see them play. 😊🌹

[@bobcieslinski]

Yep I agree

[@marciemoss]

Thank you so much for introducing me to such an incredible band, Bob! This is easily the 4th or 5th AnennMayKantereit collab and cover I have watched you react to today. Very much obsessed with his voice as well and I've loved all these covers and the chemistry between him and the other singers (especially in Tom's Diner -- also that trumpet in Tom's Diner felt so fleeting, such a great part in the beginning!). In this one, I feel he doesn't have to tone it down to blend with the other singer as much so we get to see him take less of a singing lead while maintaining his leadership of spirit, and that's interesting to watch! What magic the collaborations can bring with their variations! I felt the same when watching him -- that it's clear he LOVES to do this. It's pure passion and it is beautiful to watch and hear. Loved hearing your take on all these covers today! Thank you for doing what you do! It's so fun to watch you enjoy it as well and to learn more about music along the way. Have a nice day!

[@bobcieslinski]

Wow Marcie! You made my day. Thanks so much for thr kind words and for enjoying these collabs and covers. I was lucky to find them and I’ve enjoyed everything they’ve done so far. Can’t wait for more.

[@marciemoss]

[@caseysheehan8437]

I've been teaching myself German since January 2020, and for the last year or so, I've been listening to German bands every day, and AnnenMayKantereit is my favorite. So incredible! Also, check out Danger Dan if you haven't. Trotzdem (nevertheless), Eine Gute Nachricht (A Good Message.) The entire album 12 by AnnenMayKantereit is one of the best albums I've ever heard, so far. It's so well thought out and organized. The entire album is like a story. I'm not fluent in German, but listening to these guys and translating the songs that are my favorites has seriously helped my progression. So much love for them ❤️😍🥰🎶🎹👏👏👏

[@bobcieslinski]

Thanks Casey. So cool you are learning German. Can you send me a few links. Thanks.

[@Hundhammer]

Hi Bob, thank you so much for discovering and sharing this! Never heard of this group / guy, and by the title of your reaction I couldn't even tell they were German. I'm very excited right now, I'm German myself and have been watching ton of reaction videos during the past two years, and discovered a lot of really great artists / singers from all around the world, but until today I've been missing a German act that would completely satisfy my musical senses - seems like I might have found them finally... Will instantly watch your other reactions to Henning May and then go on doing my own research... this was brilliant! Have a great day and enjoy it, peace and love from Bavaria!

[@bobcieslinski]

Thanks so much Dominik! They are awesome and Henning May’s voice is a one of kind. I’m glad I found them. So glad you did too.

[@meise99]

Hey Bob, I just saw your reactions to AnnenMayKantereit and I love your reaction to them. I heard them for the first time a few years ago (quite easy for me because I'm German) and loved them instantly. I guess I had the same reaction to Henning like you, how in the mf world is it possible that such a big voice, came out of such a small person. But there's one thing which you didn't mention, but appreciate. There videos are always simple, without any effects or expensive locations. They look like a bunch of people having fun while making music and this fits perfectly to the band. I'm also curious about your opinion to their original songs.

[@bobcieslinski]

I just edited a new one coming out next week. It’s Let It Be. So simple so good. Look for that one and check out some others in my channel. Thanks for watching and the kind words Meise99.

The drum and the bass lines seem to be a clear reference to The Jam's "Town called Malice". Oh, and The Who's John Entwistle used to play the Flugelhorn on quite a few tracks, but that's obviously unrelated in style... :-)

The fact that they respect one another & completely enjoy it makes me love them more!! There are so many incredible places they find where the sounds are unbelievable.

Reminiscent of the great jazz musicians! ❤ I believe the bands name is properly pronounced "Onnen May Kant-er-rite." In German if there is an "E" and "I" together, whichever vowel comes second is pronounced (long vowel). That is what I recall from 2 years of German in High School.
