Loved it thanks so much I'll listen to each one of their songs

[@neeag4112]

'Let it circulate' is correct, but what is ment in german is 'move you hips' in the sense of 'let loose, loose yourself in the Music.' At the tempo change he is challenging the crowd to prove they can do that. Fantastic song when played to a crowd of 25k

[@bobcieslinski]

Thanks!

[@mok1138]

so ist's

[@kristinechristlieb1383]

Thank you so much for explaining the sense of the lyrics!

[@AlexanderGoeres]

a more adequate translation into english would be: let it swing ... even though the literal translation of "kreisen" means to circle, to go in circles

[@terrasblog1874]

The bassist is Sophie Chassée since 2022. The former bass player Malte Huck left the band 2020, he wanted to go his own way, to start a solo career. Since 2022 they have some very unique background musicians four wind instruments players and four strings player and seven of them are women. I really love this beside their great music. Listen to their "Proberaum Sessions", these are great. Love from Brandenburg / Germany.

[@bobcieslinski]

Thanks Terra for the awesome info! Their music is so cool. I’d love to interview these guys sometime.

[@winterlinde5395]

@@bobcieslinskiThat’s a great idea! I would love to see that interview.

[@klio9611]

It's all about rhythm because it's a song about dancing. The lyrics refer to the Covid pandemy. Being at home for such a long time, now everything should be let out. It's during carneval as the lyrics mention all the people with their costumes (masks). AnnenMayKantereit is from Cologne where carneval is celebrated extensively. 🎉

[@bobcieslinski]

Thanks for the info!

[@hansmolders1066]

It was traditionally difficult to sing rock in the German language! The words and grammar can be either to long or difficult to put into a 4/4. It took Udo Lindenberg who drummed for the Beatles in Hamburg while they were between drummers, to bring rock-'n'-roll to Germany. Although he circumvented the pit falls by adding English words. The real change came with Herbert Grönemeyer who then pulled long German words into the next line to fit the melody. A 3/4 or even 2/4 is easier for our language. While there are German dialects that work! Bavarian works for Rockabilly and the Cologne dialect works for singer song writer stuff but high German needs to be modulated. Therefore this interesting bending over to fit the melody, I myself prefer to sing in English.

Ich bin lediglich Musiklaie/Hörer, und das ist mir nie aufgefallen. Den benannten Künstlern kommt dadurch eine ganz neue Bedeutung zu teil,und diese Eigenart des hochdeutsch...wie gesagt es ist mir wirklich nie aufgefallen. Danke,wirklich,das war sehr interessant zu lesen und ich glaube es wird mein "zuören" beeinflussen,jetzt wo ich darauf achte wie deutsche Rockmusik scheinbar um 4/4 Takte herum arbeitet..sehr,sehr faszinierend.

[@Mooshible]

Please do "Ich geh heut nicht mehr tanzen", it's one of my favorites.

[@naimapeukert8575]

Meins auch 👍👏👏👏👏👏👏

[@valentinas.1580]

I love your reactions. Especially the AnnenMayKantereit ones. 😍 Greetings from Austria.

[@bobcieslinski]

Thank you so much!

[@DP-xl1wv]

Love that you add the links and band info❤. I found AMK 8 years ago and have all the albums. 9/9/23 concert in Koln was unbelievable. Thanks again for introducing and reacting to AMK music.

[@LordUkobach]

Hey there, it's about going out again after the pandemic lockdown. And it's about dancing again how you feel.

[@Overlycomplicatedswede]

I’m so glad I took German for 4 years in school and I understand what they are saying! This song is so dang good Is this song in 6/8?! if so that’s really impressive! Love from Sweden

[@bobcieslinski]

Sounds like it is straight 4/4 time. The snare is hitting on 2 and 4.

[@Overlycomplicatedswede]

@@bobcieslinski good point

[@k.irinawust291]

This song would work after every depressive episode or dark winter, but it is a post-corona song, where everything had hit especially hard, so much fear for vulnerable friends and family members.

[@mok1138]

And here u go: You don't have to say so much You don't have to talk so much You just have to move the way you want to again You just have to move again, the way you feel right now So many months alone, yes, I think everything was too much for you over the winter Let it out, let it circle Let it out, let it circle Let it out, let it circle I want to stand in the middle of the crowd And see you through the crowd I want to stand in the middle of the crowd, the lights are bright And see you through the crowd, waste my money To go down pleasantly in the mass of masked people I want to lose control with you again I want to lose control with you again Let it out, let it circle Let it out, let it circle Let it out, let it circle In these strange times And if you fall, I'll catch you And when you fall, I'll catch you And when you fall, I'll catch you And when you fall Let it out, let it circle Let it out, let it circle Let it out (let it out), let it circle Let it out (let it circle), let it circle After so many months alone, you have to prove to me that you can still do it, dance 3x

[@deannag48]

Bob, thank for your respect & insight ful thoughts. It's obvious you are well educated plus your love for music 🎶 is apparent when you critique. My personal opinion was immediate love & joy when hearing this phenomenal band!!🎶

[@bobcieslinski]

Thanks Deanna I appreciate the kind words.

[@dixiefletcher1539]

Absolutely love them, just goes to show you don’t have to understand the language to understand the music!

[@bobcieslinski]

You said it Dixie!

[@Piet-b4c]

The song 'Let it circle' ('Lass es Kreisen' von Annenmaykantereit) is about the Corona period and the joy of finally getting together again and being able to move around in the crowd..

[@markust.4480]

In my opinion the best songs of AMK are the five "Proberaum Session" which means rehearsal room session: - Ausgehen - Vielleicht vielleicht - Ich geh heut nicht mehr tanzen - 3 Tage am Meer - ... Greatings from Cologne.

[@cleidegomes2570]

E lindaa..animada ..topissima..amoo❤🥰😍💋💞💖💜💚💫💃🕺

[@JoachimKessel]

Brilliant analysis of this fun song. I really love it, they've so much fun playing it. Please be sure to check out there 'Proberaum' (rehearsal) seesions.

[@bobcieslinski]

Thanks!

[@guygourley2411]

Completely new group to me. He has an unusual voice, kind of gravelly. That last part seemed to be similar to a Caribbean beat. In a way, simple is better. There wasn't anything complex with the song, but like a good reggae song, it's simple but rhythmic, making you start toe tapping!

[@bobcieslinski]

They are a pretty big group in Germany. They redid Tom’ Diner by Suzanne Vega and it went viral. Henning May thr lead singer has a Joe Cocker Bruce Springsteen type voice. Very catchy song.

[@guygourley2411]

@@bobcieslinski That’s one thing cool about the music world. Language is surpassed as the music becomes the language. I have tremendous respect for the old composers. Not only did they have to know all of the orchestral pieces, the entire symphony was in their head, no recording studio, and each instrument sheet music was hand written. One mistake and an instrument note would be off key or timing. Absolutely amazing what they did. One could imagine how prolific they could have been in today’s age.

[@bobcieslinski]

@@guygourley2411for sure Guy. Those guys really knew their stuff. I’ve listened to and played many pieces and it’s mind blowing what they did and it’s transcended time. It would be interesting to see what they could accomplish with all of the technology we have today.

[@petraljungberg]

So much fun discovering new music 😃 And long time ago I heard something in German! Thanks for the reaction & for pointing out many details I would never had heard otherwise! Ps. Just before they went into ”party style” he said Tanz = dance 😊

[@bobcieslinski]

Yep so much stuff to discover and I definitely have to thank you for the music you have been sending me. It’s awesome! This one was a very cool vibey song. I loved it. It gets stuck in your head.

[@petraljungberg]

@@bobcieslinski Thanks! Yes, nice kind of funky vibe.

[@elmarwinkler6335]

This was just after Covid.

[@martinkoepke3005]

Hey @bobcieslinski, great job you are doing, always fun to listen to your reaction. But please update the title, as a native german I can assure you a 100% that the song is called "Lass es kreisen" 🙂

[@bobcieslinski]

Thanks for the kind words and the heads up. My brain is still alittle scrambled from the dizziness I have going on right now. Thanks for your help! What an awesome and fun song.

[@SuperTmktmk]

Have you already seen the song In meinem bett I love it and the text is soo nice OMG love you for reviewing their songs

[@bobcieslinski]

Thanks! They are fantastic.

[@chevychase]

LYRICS IN ENGLISH: [Verse 1] You don't have to say that much You don't have to talk that much You just have to move that way you want again You just have to Move how you feel right now again So many months alone Yes, I think everything was way too much for you over the winter [Chorus] Let it out, let it circulate Let it out, let it circulate Let it out, let it circulate [Verse 2] I want to stand in the middle of the crowd And see you through the crowd I want to stand in the middle of the crowd, the lights are bright And see you through the crowd, waste my money Comfortably, go down In the crowd of masked people I want to lose control with you again I want to lose control with you again [Chorus] Let it out, let it circulatе Let it out, let it circulate Lеt it out, let it circulate In these strange times

[@Matahalii]

I think I can see a double meaning here. "Lass es raus, lass es kreisen" can describe the exhale of a puff and give the joint to the neighbour. And I think this whole song would be great listening to while a little stoned....

[@kristinechristlieb1383]

Oh, that's interesting!

[@georgheinrichs6068]

Here is a translation something you can understand... There´s no need to say that much There´s no need to play that much I just what to see you move the way you will I just want to see you to move you feel Allthe winter time alone, I believe had made all unreal. Leave it out, make your movin Leave it out, make your movin Leave it out, make your movin I want to stand between the crowd and watch you see your movin I want to be part of the cloud to see your shining grooving I want to be part of the cloud and make the money moving Burn with you in the crowd of covered faces And loose control with you in all time spaces And loose control with you in all time spaces Leave it out, make your movin Leave it out, make your movin Leave it out, make your movin In this weird times of groovin I hold you when you fall, no worrys you at all, I I hold you when you fall, no worrys you at all, I hold you when you fall, no worrys you at all, I hold you when you fall Leave it out, make your movin Leave it out, Leave it out, make your movin Leave it out, make your movin, make your movin After all that time, proved it with this chance, dance!

[@martinkoepke3005]

Wow, I didn´t noticed that you put it up just a few hours ago 🙂 I´ve had the pleasure to listen to this song with my youngest son about a month ago in Hamburg at a live show from AMK. But as you, I was instantly "killed" from that bass line at the start. I think despite it´s not a tough line to play that this might line up in about a decade in several YT videos from amateur bass players playing the 20 most famous bass lines... We´ll see. Have a nice evening

[@bobcieslinski]

You are probably right Martin about thr top bass lines with people on KZbin. Yep it’s a new video. I’ve been trying to get to it but it’s taken awhile.

[@kcinnay2]

I was really confused at first about the title but the song is called "Lass es kreisen" not kaisen, still really like your reaction videos to them, as a big fan of the singer id love to see you do some Passenger stuff. Still loved the video keep it up!

[@bobcieslinski]

Thanks!

[@ladyofthewoods2448]

So cool

[@sylviagatterburg5318]

super groovie😍

[@TheIAmThat]

For your next AnnenMayKantereit song please pick one of their "Probenraum Session" (practice room session) these versions are just so in the moment with often many more instruments then the regular version. Ausgehen, ich geh heut nicht mehr tanzen, Vielleicht Vielleicht, 3 Tage am Meer, all those have Probenraum Sessions on KZbin!

[@bobcieslinski]

Thank I’ll add that one to the list.

[@TheIAmThat]

Thank you I can’t wait. This session opened up a new enjoyment of music. Kind of live shows without the crowed - expressive-in-the-moment musical jam sessions almost.

[@olgaschneider8130]

AnnenMayKantereit "Ausgehen" ❤ live in Köln (Cologne)

[@dajo1373]

If you like that kind of music I can recommend Faber. It's a pretty similar music style. Also would like a reaction to a feature of AnnenMayKantereit with a German rap group KIZ named "Hurra die Welt geht unter". It's has pretty a cool text and the part of the Leadsinger of AnnenMayKantereit is just amazing.

[@Ss4Goten]

I really wanna see you react to their breakout hit "Oft Gefragt". Hope you can make it happen, as it is my favorite. Unless you did of course and I just can't find it with the search engine.

[@mstubeornottube]

I would like to hear them cover Talking Heads

[@kristinechristlieb1383]

Yeah, that fits.

Greetings from germany - i like your reactions! You should take a Look at the most succesful Songs of them my Suggestions: 1. Oft gefragt (their breakthrough) 2. Barfuß am Klavier and 3. Pocahontas. All have great Things for you to analyze in my oppinion.

[@deniskramer3562]

"Lass es kreisen" is one of my alltime favorite songs. But unfortunately only this live version. The studio version I got on Amazon was a bit disappointing. Perhaps AnnenMayKantereit are a better live group than a studio group?

[@bobcieslinski]

You might be right cause this version was awesome but thr Apple Music one lost some of the vibe they brought in the live version.
