Brit Reacts to Seeed - Aufstehn (official Video)

He should listen to "Garten" from Gentleman

i told him to look gentleman up several times but he ignored it.... honestly i wouldnt recommend the newer german songs. his old album in patua is by far the best.

Fun Fact: Peter Foxs soloalbum "Stadtaffe" originally arose from the idea of ​​recording hip-hop and dancehall-inspired “urban” beats with two drummers plus an orchestra and having CeeLo Green sing over them. The joint session had already been arranged. But then CeeLo had the global hit with Gnarls Barkley in the meantime and he couldn't do the joint session. So Peter made it himself ...

[@bjan_cooper]

Read you comment too late; I wrote kinda the same, but yours was first.

[@escape-radio]

@@bjan_cooper 😆doppelt hält besser.

[@lynnm6413]

I was todays years old when I realized that dude was famous…(44 yrs old). However, I cannot even remember ever having watched the music video in full, but in my twenties this song featured on any party I danced at…for the groping and the kissing…lol

[@peffken8834]

Peter Fox wrote an Album for Cee Lo, but then he became unexactble famous with Gnarls Barkley and the project ended - as far as I know. I recommend Bootsy Collins & SEEED 'A Life For Da Sweet ting' even without P. Fox an absolute pearl presenting this great band!

[@otschikaminski]

Seeed singer Demba Nabé aka. Boundzound sadly passed away in May 2018, a big loss since he was one of the founders and distinctive voice of the band.

[@DaKea90]

He was also the "founder" of the band's distinctive smell :D I've worked a couple of times for/with them and you could tell that Demba was in the vicinity because of a very strong weeed smell xD

[@stefanb.479]

Six years already? Well, time is running ever faster.

​@@susanfuchs4136Ticket is such a beautiful musical love letter to joy, happiness and love. They couldn't have made a better song to honour him.

[@fightingstudent2363]

You begin to be a fan of Seeed and Peter Fox and i begin to be a fan of your reactions, its good to see german music culture and artists getting this kind of reception, its good and well deserved.

[@chrizzlybaer2177]

Funfact: Peter Fox pruduced a whole album of beats for Celo Green but when Gnarles Barkley was very successful he didnt have the time for the album with Peter's beats. But because Peter Fox thought it would be a shame to waste them, he made the album "Stadtaffe" with those beats. This album includes songs like "Stadtaffe", "Schwarz zu Blau" and "Alles neu" and is probably his most famous album to date

[@Soguwe]

It's one of two, and the bestselling rapalbum in German history Of course it's his most famous album

[@geronimo4592]

I know it is often called that way but let's be honest it's not a rap album​ by any means. Not to take anything away from P. Fox, i just think there is so much more musical versatility in there which clearly defines the unique sound. I love P. Fox and i love this album but when i'm in the mood for rap music i would go for something like Lakmann, RuhrpottAG, Savas...just to name a few where the sound of an album is actually defined by rap. @@Soguwe

[@wabanti80]

Did you know they made the album "Music Monk" also completely in english for the international audience?

[@hhcarbee]

We love you Dwayne! Greetings from Germany! ❤

[@jatomo5414]

box is a literal translation for a slang word . Kiste means box (like a card board box to carry stuff), but it also means booty. So what he's singing is "you're dancing the way that I praise god for your booty"

[@cacklebarnacle15]

The “coffee that wakes up dead aunts" is probably a play on very strong coffee (wakes up the dead) and the drink “Tote Tante" (‘dead aunt') wich is made with hot chocolate, rum and whipped cream.

[@eastfrisian_88]

The day can be as shitty as it can be, but seeing Dwayne's laughter and joy over German music has massively improved my mood! Thanks, bro!🕺The song is from 2005, oh god, and is almost 20 years old. I'm getting old. Ever since I've had a mobile phone or smartphone that can play music as an alarm, I've had this song as my wake-up tone.😅

[@master1sa]

did that too and tbh that ruined the track for me for a few years :D

[@XTRASCHARF.]

Hey, Grüße aus Berlin✌. Peter Fox is his AKA from his Soloproject :"Peter Fox"/ In Seed he use his real Name: Pierre Baigorry! I´m happy that you celebrate our music so much

[@bjan_cooper]

Peter Fox album "Stadtaffe" was actually planned for CeeLo Green and the lyrics were supposed to be in English. But due to the success of 'Gnarls Barkley', CeeLo no longer had time for it, and Peter Fox produced the "Stadtaffee" album himself in German.

[@Beggiify]

Oh Dwayne - there‘s so much more golden Seeed Oldies to explore for you 😍 and I‘m already looking forward to your reaction 🎉 personal recommendations are „Dancehall Caballeros“, „Riddim No 1“, „Music Monks“ or „Schwinger“ - just to name a view BANGERZZZ 🥳

[@klarabo7459]

I love, love, love Seeed. The live shows are always a celebration. I also love Peter Fox's solo stuff. You can't stay still when you hear the music ❤ I am happy you liked it too 👏🏻❤️

[@optimusprowse6448]

I had the Chorus from "Aufstehen" for 4 years as my Ringtone. You can guess it took me forever to answer calls cause I was vibing. Seeed is legendary and goat's in my book.

[@lazrseagull54]

Gentleman from Cologne (who did the chorus on Ahnma by Beginner) has had a career doing reggae in Jamaican Patois English since the 90s and he's been quite successful, having done tracks with Beenie Man (really good track called "Still Around"), Shaggy, Sean Paul, Damian Marley and 2 entire albums with Ky-mani Marley. I've even seen his albums in shop windows in Brixton. A few years ago, he did his first German language album from which I recommend the track "Staubsauger".

[@InfraWatch_FRM]

Dwayne, your videos bring me soooo much joy! I just love how you’re vibing and it always feels like I’m listening to Seeed for the first time again myself when I see your reactions. I’m absolutely loving it.

[@katjagroh1389]

Hi from Germany This is one of my absolute favorite songs forever.❤❤❤

I like you man - not only for giving a new perspective on my countries culture, but because you have such positive vibes. Life is dark sometimes (especially right now), but you bring in some lightness and joy. Thanks!

[@gorrarz5760]

the lyrics are translated badly in the first part cause its a lot of german "slang" "löschen unsern Brand mit Sekt" does mean "we fight our hangover with champagne" in germany we say "brand" wich means "fire" to hangover. "geil" means "horny" but we also use "geil" like "amazing" or "cool". in this case it does mean horny though :D "dass ich Gott für deine Kiste preis'" means "praise god for your booty". "kiste" means box but in this context he means body.

[@PsyCore91]

Brand ist ein anderes Wort für Durst. Thirst wäre also die korrekte Übersetzung 😊

[@gorrarz5760]

@@PsyCore91 yes and no right? i always connect "brand" with "thirst after drinking". so for me there is always alcohol involved if you have "brand".

[@GuysDiskruncker]

Music of my teen ages man... Love it so much. You might wanna check out Gentlemen, Culcha Candela, Patrice or even Jamaram as well. Same vibe from Gerrmany. Let me know if you wanna have more suggestions from German Reggae bands ;-) Cheers from Munich!

[@viktorias7599]

Yeah man! Seeed!! I'm from Germany. I don't like concerts, too many people, too loud, but I have been on two concerts, nearly more than 15years ago, sh*t I'm getting older with everyone else wtf 😂😂 One was Wise Guys (cool Acapella band) and one was Peter Fox! And Seeed indeed is ... original? As you said? But there are other cool German Hip Hop bands or Artists. WobWobWob from Käpt'n Peng & Die Tentakel von Delphi is an amazing song, do you already know it? If not you might wanna listen to that, I think that's pretty much sounding like no other artist as well!

[@paddythefly]

Love Seed too... before them my favorits were "kinderzimmer productions" and "Äi-Tiem" ...both old school german hiphop scene! Hans Solo from Äi-Tiem is still making banger songs as I know!

[@rhysodunloe2463]

"Coffee that can wake dead aunts" 😅 Never heard that expression before but will definitly use it when ordering my next coffee. Here in Northern Germany hot cocoa with rum is called "dead aunt" (Tote Tante) by the way. Alledgedly a man on the isle of Föhr received a box of cocoa beans containing an urn with the ashes of his aunt who had migrated to the US. They didn't want to waste the cocoa and served it at her wake. And just like the coffee drink Pharisäer (Pharisee/hypocrite) they spiced it with rum.

[@frankschannel6943]

Niiice... One of my all time favourite songs, from my favorite German band. ❤ Saw them many times live. It's always a big dancin' party. You should also listen to Sebastian Sturm, german reggae singer, with pretty much of Bob Marley in his songs and his voice. Try one the song "Echoes" or "One Moment".

[@davids.6671]

Seeed was the first big live concert i visited. Great experience!

[@fjosi64]

Absolutely lovely commentary, bc youre so heartful

[@robertgieseler1220]

Believe it or not, Dwayne, though I'm German I didn't know Seeed before. Well, now I do, and now I'm a fan -- thanks to you. Thank you very much! Yes, we're culturally alike. Not identical, but there's a significant overlap. However, it depends where you go. From the top of my head, I would suggest Berlin, but Hamburg, Cologne (Köln) and Frankfurt/Main may be somewhat similar, with different local colours. Come on over...😎, but not at this time of the year. Great reaction -- I loved it! All the very best from Germany

[@evilchicken2207]

I watched this video before my date and it gives me such a good vibe. Thanks for your reaction and keep going mate

[@1983simi]

You need to react to more Seeed and Peter Fox Some of my personal favourite Seeed tracks are: Release, Waterpumpee, Slowlife, What you Deserve is What you Get "Haus am See" is another great solo track by Peter Fox. And then there is a more Rap leaning collaboration he did with an artist called Marteria, the track is "Sekundenschlaf"

[@leennycaruso8243]

Release and Waterpumpee ❤❤❤ Not to forget about "Papa Noah" and "tide is high"

[@mrmiesfies3941]

One of my favourite songs of all time. Seeed are criminally underappreciated internationally.

[@Bigmystery]

Listening to the music first and then reading + interpreting the lyrics is a good working procedure! P.S. Your monologue is very inspiring!

[@Knishmaster]

As some others before, I also recommend Gentleman (for German reggae). Another recommendation is Max Herre MTV unplugged. Either "Esperanto" or "1ste Liebe" both feat. Joy Denalane.

[@Kallosh]

Love your reactions! Seeed is such an amazing group, please react to "Music Monks" or "Release" . it's making me really happy to see someone discovering what Seeed has to offer :)

[@tamtango519]

I would love your reactions to Gentleman and Patrice! Also very interesting: Marteria / Marsimoto 🙌🏼😁

[@janne8315]

You should really check out a live video because this is one of the bands that is BETTER live than on studio record. The old 2000 live performances are just as cool as the ones from recent years! I recommend a version from "Berlin Wuhlheide" or "Berlin Waldbühne" - two open air locations in Berlin, where the band is originally from. This is a great set (before their latest album however): Seeed - Live beim Lollapalooza 2015 in Berlin (HD), check out "Dickes B"

[@thirstwithoutborders995]

For me this will forever be the soundtrack of my first year in Uni and my job at a beach bar. "Box" is about the same as "trunk", as in God is praising himself for creating her butt.

[@tubenhans6190]

Others gave it away already, but simply rewiew the video, pause it when he says "Kiste" and look what's on screen. There's two of them. "Den Brand mit Sekt löschen" is not to be taken literally as well. No fire extinguished with champaign, here. It's fighting last night's hangover / thirst with an alcoholic drink.

[@wisniewskijan4839]

Very nice reaction 👌😎 Sadly Demba Nabé, one singer of the trio, died in 2018 😥 May he be in a better world now 🙏 Love Seeed, too ❤ "Aufstehn" means get up in english. This is the perfect song, if you stand up in the morning, when you have had a long chilly evening 🍀🍻

[@cmulliner8985]

The "yeah yeah" is such a classic Peter Vox adlib 😅

[@96Deadeye]

Awesome video. The song might not be the deepest, but it has more meaning than you think. Of course art can be interpreted differently, but I am pretty sure he is hinting at depression in some way. You are still right with it being a very fun and good vibes song. It works really well in hyping your mood. And many great artists know that a shift in perspective can be enought to have a good time or even change your world.

[@Hadrian-p7f]

The marriage of the German language and Reggae is absolutely Awesome , I only found out about them a few months ago.

I love the hook "das Leben will einen ausgeben und das will ich sehen" (don't know how to translate in english), this is with the music & beat absolutely life affirming to me.

[@VeganaAnarkiisto]

This and Peter Fox' Haus am See I could listen for hours. It's a pleasure learning German with such sounds! I also recommend Die Ärzte - Deine Schuld, and Dota Kehr - Grenzen. Lately I'm vibing with Nina Chuba 😊

[@additivesvideosystem]

A fact that should not be underestimated: Peter Fox suffered facial paralysis in 2001 due to a viral infection, which still has mild effects today. The right side of the face is particularly affected. If you know that, you can see that he is talking and singing out of the left corner of his mouth! simply incredible!

[@manuapps]

You have to watch Seeed Live with the Song Schwinger (Berlin Wuhlheide) or Peter Fox - Stadtaffe (Live aus Berlin)

[@leohaerdle]

If you like seeed you should definitely check out Irié Révoltés. They sing in mixture of German and French. It is a mix of rap, reggae, dancehall and ska. I think you would like it. I would recommend “Ruhe vor dem Sturm” or “Fäuste hoch”

[@hundebubi1410]

Irie revoltes. Oh yes. The concerts were great.
