I can also recommend Alexander eder if you like german/austrian singers (he's 24yo and has a very deep voice)

[@juliehermes3900]

He got his voice from singing on the streets pretty loud .

[@juliehermes3900]

He was a street musician before❤

[@avalon4612]

I would highly recommend “Ich geh heut nicht mehr tanzen Proberaumsession” (Proberaumsession = rehearsal room session). The song from AMK is a bit older but they did record it again with a whole orchestra. Really awesome and worth to watch!

[@bobcieslinski]

Thanks for thr info!

[@thmythos2614]

@@bobcieslinski I second this suggestion - the "Proberaum" version of the song features string and brass combos, and its drive will have you jumping out of your chair 😀 Also, it contains more trumpet work by Ferdinand Schwarz, who you already admired in the "Valerie" cover (and who is considered one of Germany's finest young jazz trumpet players, btw). Thanks for your reaction, would love to see more AMK stuff (there's a lot of treasures still waiting to be found...!) Greetings from Munich, Germany

[@Hundhammer]

+1, just wanted to suggest this one, for me one of the very best performances I've listened to by AMK... it's not a whole orchestra though, but the band plus a string and a brass section, but it sounds great, musically one of the best things they've ever done imo, and Henning's voce on top is just awesome!

[@bobcieslinski]

@@thmythos2614 thanks for thr great info Thmythos! I’ll be checking out more of their stuff.

[@bobcieslinski]

@@Hundhammer great points

[@gaylabruce9904]

His voice is so emotionally tortured. Understanding the words of the song really breaks the heart with his beautiful expressive voice! I love Henning's voice!

[@johnclerk1195]

His lyrics are always so personal and so relatable.

[@anselmjonathan8598]

To all of you who don't speak or understand German: As a native German speaker all I can tell you is that it's impossible to listen to that song without tearing up. One of the most touching songs I know. So intense, so sad, so strong.

[@LilaLaunekuh]

I love Annenmaykantereit ❤️ I was stunned when I first heard Hennig years ago! And he still blows my mind 🥰

[@Cr33perlife]

Thank you so much for reacting to this song! His voice is really amazing and I love how he can sing these low and raspy notes without having any problems. It is always relaxing to hear their songs.

[@bobcieslinski]

Thanks Helen! His voice is so amazing.

[@mlight7402]

I appreciate your comments on his voice being a function of relaxation and a large volume of air moving. I have had concern that he was straining... both for the future of this man's career and fulfilling my hope of enjoying his voice for years to come. Thank you.

[@bobcieslinski]

Thanks!

[@marieeveduchesne]

Hi Bob. I am loving the AMK content. They are by far one of my favourite bands. They have this version of Du bist anders in the Proberaum, which blows my mind every time I listen to it.

[@bobcieslinski]

Thanks for the kind words Marie-Eve! If you have a link can you send it? Thanks!

[@YTjunkette]

There's an other video of this song, with just Henning singing to the camera and he's on a rooftop or a bridge or something... And toward the end of the song as he's belting out a powerful "Ich will ein' Ozean!" someone from below yells "me too!" and he had to laugh. 😁 Hats off to you for linking directly to where to buy their music, that's awesome :) My vote goes to "Ich geh heut nicht mehr tanzen" for the next AMK reaction. It's older now but fun.

[@bobcieslinski]

Thanks I appreciate the kind words. This song was awesome. Everything they do is amazing.

[@Anni_Mau]

I love that version! Maybe not for a reaction if you don't want to repeat the same song but it's worth to listen to that one on your own time nevertheless. It's just so beautiful Loved the reaction as always and hats off for diving into the german songs as well now!

[@DP-xl1wv]

Plays the song off his balcony during Covid time. And yes, Henning, voice, guitar, are amazing and the guy yelling out “me too” (which makes Henning smile) was a great moment💗

[@luogi1574]

would be happy to see more amk reactions

[@karlikrumelkater3960]

Since 6 years i hear amk and Ozean is one of my favorit song. I was at a concert in munic, when i hear it first 🥰 it was amazing! My number one favorit song is "du bist anders". So much feeling in his voice. Thanks for your Video 😊 its nice to see other people enjoy amk, too.

[@bobcieslinski]

Thanks Karli! They are amazing and Hennibgs voice is incredible.

[@SoulfulSmokie]

He has a great voice.

[@michaelm6556]

May's voice makes me think of Eric Burden... it is awesome for sure. Thank you for this!

[@bobcieslinski]

Thanks for listening

[@DP-xl1wv]

Great pick! Happy to see they are on your radarHave listened to them for 8 years- 21,22,23 is my favorite ❤Happy to say I finally am going to Koln to see them on 9/9! 🥰

[@bobcieslinski]

Wow that’s awesome enjoy the concert!

[@pakabe8774]

Henning has a very strong control of his body. I'm not a professional singer, but I learn that strong sounds do not come from pressure, but from making your whole body part of the instrument. That's how I was singing while showering :D

[@bobcieslinski]

Yep you are right.

[@katechurcher4830]

Love him. Such a powerful voice. ❤

[@flood1417]

Aber das hier ist total toll. Gott sei Dank für solche Stimmen wie seine.

[@Sara_905]

In interviews, he said that he got that special rough-voice because the band started to play on the streets, sohe had to sing powerful (without mic) in order to keep up with the instruments' volume :)

[@bobcieslinski]

Thanks that makes sense.

[@lydiaburghardt2854]

I love the song '7 Jahre' (7 years) from AnnenMayKantereit. It's a song about the mother's death from one of the bandmembers. It's not that popular but really great. :)

[@bobcieslinski]

Thanks Lydia!

[@thomashintz8609]

Thanks for a great reaction. One week ago I had never never heard of this band but the KZbin algorithm threw a rection to one of their songs my way. I have listened to many of their songs now but they just sold a few of them to me - not least because of your reactions. Keep it up :)

[@bobcieslinski]

Thanks Thomas! I appreciate the kind words. These guys are so good. Their music is fun and catchy.

[@inilahaccountku]

Thank you @bobcieslinski from bringing this clips. Henning May and his guitar along his band mate became the background singers, make so simple yet powerful harmony that bring serenade atmosphere to whoever listen to them. And your honest opinion about this band is awesome. I don’t understand any words in Germany but I like this band since watched you comment about Tom’s dinner. Greeting from Bali 😊

[@bobcieslinski]

Thanks so much Wahyu! I appreciate the kind words.

[@ytucharliesierra]

Henning can define whether he wants to sound raspy or not.

[@bluediamondblue]

So beautiful! Love 🩵 his voice.

[@roggyinberlin]

Du you ever heard the Song Barfuss am Klavier ( barefood at the Piano ) that Song made them famous in Germany 🙋🏻‍♂️👍

[@bobcieslinski]

I have not heard that one. I’ll have to check it out. Thanks!

[@lfleur1707]

"Pocahontas" made them famous 😉

[@oliverh.schmidt2571]

[@marleenurbainczyk2025]

I also love his song "Barfuß am Klavier" which was very poplar in Germany about 10 years ago

[@ladyofthewoods2448]

It was nice to have English lyrics thank you

[@estrela3889]

There is another clip of this song, Henning is outdoors, very intimate, very very sad, maybe you'd like to check that out too. Yes, in German the cracked feelings sound even more powerful.

[@t.j.2083]

Such a treat to listen to!

[@robinkeppel2622]

So inspiring!

[@Overlycomplicatedswede]

I forget the band is German because they speak outstanding English (Same can be said for alot of western and Northern European countries) as a swede who took German in school I understood a decent amount of the song without the subtitles

[@bobcieslinski]

Wow that’s great that you understood it. I never had German in school. It was Spanish for me. I can understand some Italian and sim Polish but not much.

[@Hannah_Rachel_and_Kotik]

Hi there! There are 2 amazing songs you may want to check into- the band is Pomplamoose- an upcoming indie band, and they are doing original and covers. Their covers for Daft Punk are amazing- one is "Digital Love" and the other "Something about you" the 1st is better but they're both good

[@bobcieslinski]

Cool, thanks! Send a link if you can.

Consider reacting to Pocahontas, really love that song.

[@jensbuschbaum7353]

AMK did and still do refuse to sign a contract with a major company in order not to become split up as a band and friends by the commercial interests of the record company. No style make over, no splitting up the band in favour of 'the raspy voice'. Btw: what I really would like to see (and hear) happen was a duett between Henning May and this guy who won AGT... Sawyer Fredericks - two unique voices together - and two humble guys, too.

[@juwen7908]

Yes, Henning has a naturell raspy voice. In a interview, he said, it's part of his family, his dad has a raspy voice and his brother too. But he trained it maybe a little bit more 😉 by singing on streets for so many years. There you just have to sing as loud as possible to get the attention from the audience. Here is a video of them at this time, if you wanna try. kzbin.info/www/bejne/mHuTgJ-kpNGtgdE Greetings from Berlin 😎

Please do a reaction video of annenmaykantereit song called "sometime I like to lie" It was posted 9 years ago! Al lot of close ups of the instruments that you can hear in the volume of the music as well. And henning's voice is even more raspy than this song 😮

Thanks Tom!

[@occultured9722]

@@bobcieslinski By the way: "Sometimes I like to lie" is the song Sean Penn mentions in the novel he wrote: kzbin.info/www/bejne/a3awnpeHnM6Lbbc

Why is the band in small screen? It should be the other way around, If not full screen showing the band.

[@bobcieslinski]

Because it is about the music not the video although sometimes I do call attention to the video.

Ich hab' gedacht, ich hab' sie abgehängt I thought I lost her Aber sie holt mich immer wieder ein But she always catches up with me Sie tut mir bis heute weh It still hurts me to this day Und hat mich so oft abgelenkt And distracted me so many times Vielleicht brauch' ich noch mehr Zeit Maybe I need more time Ich will nicht traurig sein und ich will nicht drüber reden I don't want to be sad and I don't want to talk about it Ich will der ganzen Scheiße nicht nochmal begegnen I don't want to face all that shit again Ich will nicht traurig sein und ich will nicht drüber reden I don't want to be sad and I don't want to talk about it Ich will ein Meer zwischen mir und meiner Vergangenheit I want a sea between me and my past Ein Meer zwischen mir und allem, was war A sea between me and all that was Ich will ein Meer zwischen mir und meiner Vergangenheit Ein Meer zwischen mir und allem, was war I want a sea between me and my past A sea between me and all that was Ich liebe meine Freunde Und wie wir miteinander sind I love my friends And how we are with each other Trotzdem muss ich möglichst schnell irgendwo anders hin Nevertheless, I have to go somewhere else as soon as possible Irgendwo, wo im Winter die Sonne scheint Somewhere where the sun shines in winter Wo ich allein und ohne Vergangenheit von vorne anfangen kann Where I can start over alone and with no past Vielleicht lerne ich irgendwann, verzeihen Maybe one day I'll learn to forgive Ich will ein Meer zwischen mir und meiner Vergangenheit Ein Meer zwischen mir und allem, was war I want a sea between me and my past A sea between me and all that was I want a sea between me and my past A sea between me and all that was Ich will ein Ozean i want an ocean i want an ocean i want an ocean i want an ocean i want an ocean i want an ocean

[@juttaweise]

@@bobcieslinski Hi Bob, thanks for your dedication to their Music. Henning has some melancholical songs in which he tries to work out his past. As I learned his mother left the family when he and his brother were small. There is one song called "zu hause" which is a love song to his father, which gets me really emotional. He's a sensitive soul!

[@pettajem2282]

There is hardly any raspiness in the loud parts of AMK's cover of "One day", just loud and clear, don't you think? kzbin.info/www/bejne/f5rUgZ56iJuSj6M Can't decide which way I like his voice better. ;.)
