First Time Reaction | Rammstein - "Ohne Dich"

[@michaelfinck7487]

The song ist about the relationship between the band members of Rammstein and also can be seen as expressing mourning over the loss of a loved person. Rammstein wanted to break up one or the other time and that is why they had even therapy sessions. But they always decided to stay together. For Heitmann (film direktor of this video) , the emotional message in the video is very important; Ohne dich shows unity in the band. Richard said that the most important thing is to stick together, everything else is irrelevant.Therefore Rammstein is one of the few Bands that have managed to play in the same line up and with the same members for almost 30 years since they were founded. The funny thing is that Flake (Keyboarder) still denies that he is a member of Rammstein, because he actually never wanted to be part of Rammstein from the start because the music was too "simple" for him. Till and Richard always wanted to start solo careers. In addition, the Rammstein members constantly argued about every song, every video and every live show, how it could be done better. It actually almost came to a break up with the "Mother" video. Till shot the video alone without really involving the other band members. Rammstein not only had one group therapy with a psychologist over the years, but nevertheless they could never be without each other There were 5 or 6 ideas for this video. Some of the band members wanted to make a video at sea, others wanted to make it in the mountains. Richard wanted to make a video based on Hans Christian Andersen's "The Little Match Girl" because it was the only fairy tale that made him cry, but the idea was rejected.. According to Joern Heitmann (film director), this is the most emotionally engaging video he has ever made with the band. For the video, the band members grew beards, because in the mountains there is no time to shave. Flake was the only one to have an artificial one. During the making of, Till can be seen wearing a shirt which makes fun of Flake and his beard. The climbing scene was shot on one of the climbing walls next to a parking lot, and the band could go as high as they wanted to. The band was accompanied by an experienced climbing team who taught them how to correctly climb the wall. The video was shot at +20 degrees. The snow was artificial, and the snow storm was created with the help of machines. Emanuel Fialik's assistant expressed his concerns about whether any of the band members would get hurt while shooting a video in the middle of the tour. Heitmann claimed that no one would have been able to stop Till from playing the falling scene. The original idea was that Flake would have to carry Till together with Schneider at 3,400 m above sea level, which was physically impossible for him. Richard admits that everyone always fights for their own scene when shooting videos and everyone wants to be able to play a part, so it's hard to work with them on the set.

Nice

[@mefistoavroria524]

It's true, but the mountain was real, but not high

[@virgiliustancu9293]

Your explanation is stupid and doesn't has anything to do with the song and the video. This is in your head.

[@Sonie75]

It is about the strong friendship between the band members 🧡 did you recognize them ? 😃 amazing song

[@Templarofsteel88]

From what I remember they actually wrote the song after they almost split up as a band.

[@luciarehakova2481]

Yes, it is about friendship❤

[@peekaboosue]

The director wanted to show he had died of internal injuries but wasn't sure how to do that..That is why they show his gangrene foot to indicate that's why he passed away after they reached the summit.

Till wrote this song as apology for the quarrel that he caused when he made the video for the song Mutter single-handedly. The other band members were exhausted after the last tour and needed vacations. Till decided not to wait for the others and did it alone. As the band has no leader but decides everything via consensus, that led to a serious crisis within the band. So the song is about the band that only exists with all six original members. I'm not sure whether this agreement was made as a result of the crisis or whether this was already agreed in earlier times. The aluminium plate where Oliver punches in Till's name is the usual kind of tombstone for mountain climbers in regions where it is not possible to bring back a mountaineer that died during the ascent (e. g. in the death zone of Mount Everest).

"Rammstein follow their own rhythm. We never give a shit about the people who think we need to get a record out every two years and that's one of the reasons w ashy we're still together with the same lineup. We take care of each other, and if somebody needs to take the time off or do something else, we listen." Richard Kruspe(lead guitarist)

🏔️ WITHOUT YOU 🏔️ I'm going to go into the fir trees There where I last saw her But the evening is throwing a cloth upon the land and upon the ways behind the edge of the forest And the forest it is so black and empty Woe is me, oh woe And the birds sing no more Without you I cannot be Without you With you I am alone too Without you Without you I count the hours without you With you the seconds stand still They aren't worth it On the branches in the ditches it's now silent and without life And breathing becomes oh so hard for me Woe is me, oh woe And the birds sing no more Without you I cannot be Without you With you I am alone too Without you Without you I count the hours without you With you the seconds stand still They aren't worth it without you Without you And breathing becomes oh so hard for me Woe is me, oh woe And the birds sing no more Without you I cannot be Without you With you I am alone too Without you Without you I count the hours without you With you the seconds stand still They aren't worth it without you Without you,Without you Without you,Without you

[@peekaboosue]

this song was made after the Mutter Album when they almost broke up. Rammstein is like a democracy every member is heard and all must agree before anything gets passed..when they began having problems they decided to go to counseling both as individuals and as a group..in an interview Richard said that Rammstein is like a marriage but without the sex..Ohne dich shows unity in the band and Richard said the most important thing is to stick together, everything else is irrelevant.🙂💕

this Song tell´s you: You got to Love the People in your Life (Friends, Family etc.) Before you regret, that you didnt do it before they aren´t here anymore. The Death of your loved ones could be here any Day. Sometimes you just realize what you had, the second you loose it. Know it before, Act Wise and your Soul may take it a bit better I hope that makes some Sense. Greetings from Germany, Eifel

[@HouseOfThrees]

that soooo deep

[@karlodonnell8935]

Imagine rammstein preform live at the NFL super bowl half time show and it will blown peoples minds

[@Anuta6675]

The song itself without the video could be about unrequited love. "Can't be without you, with you I'm also alone".

[@черные_яблоки]

Good reaction underrated trio keep going fam

[@acidgravy1]

Maybe it‘s also about the band itself

[@JW-ki8md]

[@emanuelazibra6661]

Amici per sempre❤

[@HakleberryFinn]

it would be nice if you Guys may watch another German Band. "Electric Callboy - Cadillac" It´s kinda Metalcore Stuff but it´s also pretty damn funny, Songs are in English. Also a Brilliant German Artist: "Peter Fox - Alles Neu" More a Reggae/Rap Artist, Unique Guy, Lead Singer of the Band "SEEED" (Tracks: Aufstehn, Dancehall Cabaleros, Music Monks) Seeed is just awesome, you wouldn´t expect that Music from Germany. Songs are in German, Subtitles are pretty good. Peace

[@HouseOfThrees]

thank youuuuuuuuuu

[@virgiliustancu9293]

WTF?!? He is broken because he broke up with the woman he loved but couldn't live with. The man no longer finds any pleasure in life and at the first opportunity he practically tries to commit suicide. His friends are trying to get him out of depression, that's why they are with him on this mountain trip. Unfortunately, they cannot save him. What is so hard to understand?

[@littlebigmum]

Sehr tiefgründiger Song, aber umso lustiger das making off... die making offs sind allgemein sehr empfehlenswert ❤

[@lanman6239]

Your best guess what the video is about sucks, but it's too cumbersome to say anything against it.

[@Rednosei]

The Song is ok, but in my Opinion the Video is one of the worst Videos by Rammstein! It doesn't fit the Song! The only good thing for you is that it has subtitles to help you understand the Song!
