Rammstein - Mein Herz Brennt (Both versions) (pianist reacts to metalhead friend’s suggestion)

[@adamhines9866]

'Ohne Dich' is my favourite Rammstein song, the video is a real tear jerker. Just make sure to read the English lyrics too as it really enhances the song.

[@Greatmeasures]

Will do! Thanks!

[@lemmyfromhamburg]

Sonne....my fav

[@ucheehQ]

@@Greatmeasures I do kinda feel like you'd have to have watched at least a few of the other music videos they've done prior to that, just so you get a bit more understanding of what's going on in the Ohne Dich video; they reference them a lot throughout. It's not strictly necessary, you'll get the essence for sure, but you'll miss a lot of details without knowing the reference material. Edit: woke up today with the random realization that the video I'm thinking of isn't for 'Ohne Dich' but for 'Haifisch'. No idea why that thought about this comment came to me nearly 3 weeks after posting it, but there it is...

The quality of Rammstein videos is on a completely different level and then Til’s voice is undeniable! My wife doesn’t like metal, but she can’t take her eyes off these videos. I saw them live in 2010 or something when they first came back to NA and there will never be a live show that compares.

[@dws84]

I've been going to concerts since the beginning of 2001 and in my personal experience nothing comes close to a Rammstein show, and this by all means is no criticism of the shows I'm comparing them to, they're just that good! The closest that I've seen to Rammstein's level live is Parkway Drive and Metallica. I love Rammstein, so I could be biased, but in my opinion they are the GOAT's across all genres of music when it comes to live show performances. As for their music videos. particularly the past 10 years, they're amongst the best as well.

[@cyradragons]

They (Germans) don't usually roll their Rs. That is on purpose with Till. He felt that singing in a more classical (operatic) style was more fitting, and just felt right to him. His baritone is beautiful.

[@dws84]

Not true, Bavarians roll their R’s just like that. Till also said that rolling the R’s that way came naturally due to how deep he was lowering his voice and it was just much easier to do than the guttural R he uses in normal speech.

[@cyradragons]

@@dws84 Bavarians, maybe. But Till isn't from Bavaria. He grew up in E. Germany during the Cold War, Bavaria was W. Germany. Till was referring to singing (rolling Rs like in opera), not speaking. He doesn't roll 'em when speaking. He also doesn't consistently roll them in Rosenrot...so no, not natural. My comment was an, in general kind of comment. I didn't specify regions because of dialect differences.

[@dws84]

@@cyradragons Yeah, as time went on he used his natural ‘r’ more often, I just meant that he’s stated that one of the main influences in their early days for the ‘rolled r’ they became synonymous with, came about due to the way he sung. Just like in opera how it’s much easier to roll r’s than to use the guttural.

[@cyradragons]

@@dws84 Yes!!! I suspected we were on the same page, but were experiencing a disconnect. Good to know 😀 I noticed his operatic style Rs when I initially heard their music. That grabbed my attention more than anything else, and now I'm on a path of discovering more with each time I listen. The word smithing draws me into their lyrics, and I get lost. I'm sorry for any misunderstanding, I appreciate our conversation and am always open to learn more. Thank you 😊

[@user-ok1vf6qx4k]

​@dws84 I'm from Bavaria and no, we don't roll the R like that.

[@JJSFC]

The Deutschland video is definitely worth checking out. A true work of art if you know any German history, and the song is great also.

[@eastportland]

&^%$#@! So many good ones to choose, but I dearly enjoy this masterpiece more than most things in life. !@#$%^&

[@Fleshy]

Deutschland is one of the greatest music videos ever made, imo, with an amazing song to boot. And it just shadow dropped on the world out of nowhere.

[@terencemalik6415]

The Russian actress (Yulia Stepanova) was starring in "Sonne"- another masterpiece by Rammstein.

[@fashionkiller11]

Some really awesome songs are Zeit, Mein Teil, Sonne, Ohne Dich and Ich Will. Loved your reaction :)

[@TheKerberos84]

He eats his own heart! lol. You innocent child when it comes to Rammstein.

[@bumblefluff79]

Loved Rammstein back in the day. Saw them early 00's in Brixton Academy, an indoor theatre just under 5k capacity, right at the front with massive flame throwers going over our heads. Mental. Sehnsucht from the same album as Du Hast is worth a chuckle.

[@Greatmeasures]

That had to be an insane show!

[@tskaar222]

I wanna see you react to Rammstein - Deutschland. The official video is a masterpiece!

[@gabrielstratton1775]

I love your guys dynamic. And the fact you always try to work out the composition of the song as well as trying to understand the meaning. Fan-freaking-tastic... then as I'm writing this you discuss seeing colors from different chords... I have a mild form of synesthesia from time to time and it makes music so much more beautiful

[@timbob1145]

Should go for 'Sonne' maybe next, was the first Rammstein song I heard that really got me interested.

[@user-tf6vq9tz6b]

Rammstein 'Ohne Dich'. Serious song, no heart eating. Beautiful melody.. sad video. Hopefully he'll have something to say about the chord progressions 👍

[@skullium]

Hearing Judson talk about color association with different notes or chords, that is a thing called synesthesia. I would highly recommend visiting some Devin Townsend, as he also has synesthesia and sees shapes and colors with music and how it all fits together. For some suggestions, Higher or Deep Peace( both live at Plovdiv), Grace (from the Retinal Circus), or honestly the entire Ziltoid Live at the Royal Albert Hall concert :) The thing with Devin is he has done it all, and a big deep dive into his works is something I think Judson could really connect with a lot of.

[@davidfisher1353]

I've seen rammstein live twice in London over the years best 2 concerts I've ever seen and I've seen alot of bands

[@m4nu003]

Sonne is my Favorite song by Rammstein. There is a piano version too. I think they played it after Deutschland the video. Gretting from Germany ^^

[@samwalters2904]

Glad you guys are Seinfeld fans ;) great content as usual, all the best from wales!

[@in4theaction]

Love the reaction to the visuals. Rammstein has always had such great videos, Kiene Lust is my favorite of Rammstein's singles. Love this band

[@basdebruin2355]

You should see the complete piano version with Till only… mind blowing!

[@jarmake1923]

Great to see you doing both versions! Does Judson have synesthesia?

[@Greatmeasures]

Yes

[@justanotherdave4835]

Something i have learned is there is nothing more disturbing than a German childrens bedtime story

[@dws84]

I didn't think you lads would review Rammstein, but I'm totally glad you did. These guys sit in my top 5 all time favourite bands and I agree with Judson, I like the original 'Mein Hertz Brennt' too.

[@AkahigeNoAmo]

these 2 songs are great. The original one, for me anyways, is more akin a catharsis or an overcoming of/from trauma or a massive struggle. The piano version on the other hand I interpret more as a telling of a monster that has no choice but to be one, yet has no desire to and struggles with its destiny (which seems to fit the, presumably, secondary reference the song makes to a dark story by ETA Hoffmann from the 19th century, also called the Sandmann) and what you tried to get at near the end there - yes, we Germans love our compound words :D (when you have Legos [words], why not use them ;) )

[@nickdevrou6612]

"Your mom's gonna watch both videos".... I love your style man😂😂😂

[@FaithRequiem8]

I always find myself really enjoying your analysis of each piece as someone who's not coming from a classical music background... especially for a group like Rammstein! Would you please react to any of Buck-Tick's discography? Atsushi Sakurai, their lead singer, has recently passed away and I would love to see a tribute reaction in his memory if you were up to it. He was a legend in the Japanese rock/vkei scene, and I think you'll find their music really interesting. Their drummer and their bassist are brothers. They've been around as a band since 1983, I think? so they've quite a large amount of music out there. Particularly, if you were going to react to any specific songs, my recommendations are Kuchizuke, die, Taiyou ni Korosareta, and Coyote. There are many live performances available on KZbin, and I find that those have much more life to them than their studio tracks. Atsushi and Imai also had an awesome side project called Schwein with Raymond Watts (PIG) and Sascha from KMFDM you might want to check out. Cheers!!

[@helenakasunic8810]

"The Office" reference, now I like you even more 😁😂. There are so many good songs to listen to by Rammstein "Deutschland" is an amazing song with incredibly good video, "Du Hast" Live In Paris is a must if you ask me, "Sonne" is also a classic and "Ohne Dich" is just beautiful and emotional, you cant`t go wrong with any of them.

[@03scottwarren]

Mega fan here (Rammstein and Great Measures). A few recommendations for the channel: Spiel Mit Mir Angst (video) Adieu (video) Sonne (a live version preferably) Ohne Dich Mein Teil (also live) Deutschland (Video) They have some bangers!

[@Actalzy]

Thank you!! 🤘

[@amygoodson-catlady]

[@dropbarracuda]

I actually liked the joke about sending back the burnt heart. Made me laugh 🤣 🔥🤎🔥 🤣

[@archerdoubleO]

Mutter, the title track. Read the lyrics translated, the clip is great, though I dislike that they shorten it. Just like in this one they cut out the small guitar 'solo' during the break, but it really heightens the buildup. But yeah, 100%, go for the song Mutter (Mother), imo. Seeman is a pretty song from their debut (exceptionally big part for the bass player), whereas as people mentioned, Ohne Dich is a nice Ballad from their later work. If you want a trajectory particularly in Till's singing and more melodic stuff of theirs. Huge Bonus tip for any fan: Meshuggah's "cover" of Benzin (requested by Rammstein for their Benzin single). Meshuggah wrote a completely new song and put Till's original lyrics over it. So yes folks, there's a Meshuggah Song with Till's German vocals. It's amazing.

[@daviddidder3781]

“shogun” by Trivium would be a good one for him to hear. Masterpiece, and I’m not big on Trivium either!

[@VehicularMenace]

It annoys me when people do the piano version as their first reaction, so props for doing both. I like the piano version but I feel that the original album version should be checked out first, I just love those strings which make the song what it is imo - and it's far better imo.

[@vadymkvasha4556]

It reminds me about "Ich hasse kinder" (I hate children) by Lindemann (Till's solo project, produced by dud from band "Pain"), I recommend you to check it out.

[@RusShpion]

I noticed how jutson (sorry if my spelling is trash) referenced d minor as well as a minor as being red. Do you have synesthesia where you visualize notes as colors? Just curious, but love your content.

[@Greatmeasures]

He does have synesthesia. Thanks for watching! 🤘

[@Luemm3l]

that is cool, never made the connection. i wonder if the prevalence of synesthesia is higher among artists. I know quite a few people who think in "colors" for their work, i.e. their music, which they then translate also in the colors for the album for example. I dont know if that is just a stylistic choice or if they also see their music in those colors. Examples would include, but not limited to bands like Blood Incantation, Morbid Angel, Obscura and The Ruins Of Beverast in metal. they all have a color scheme going on, the albums tend to be different in terms of concept and or also musical development and so on...

[@theinvisibleneonrainbowzeb2567]

So happy to see you react to some Rammstein! Yes, please please do react to the song Deutschland, and the official music video. The channel 'educatedmarine' has translated the song lyrics into English and added them as captions, so if you watch the video via that channel, you can have real-time translation of the lyrics which I think would add to your audiovisial experience. And please make sure you watch the entire video to the end, it is necessary and also beautiful After Deutschland I would highly recommend - well most Rammstein to be honest, but in this case - 'Fruhling in Paris', ideally the Live recording from, I think it is 2017, Nimes. The MSG live from the same era is also good. 'Ohne Dich', official music video 'Wiener Blut', live from MSG 'Zeit' official MV 'Ich Will' official MV 'Sonne' Official MV and ideally also Live from the 2023 tour because it is just incredible! I could go on but that's a good starting point!! Note - the channel educatedmarine has added English translations of the lyrics to many/most of the official MV's, and I think possible some Live performances, not 100% sure on that, but I think they had done Wiener Blut, and added important context too as this song is based on something that actually happened. As are several of their songs. For the most recent official MV's, from the album Zeit, there is the option of English subtitles on the official video, if you select subtitles it will come up with German, but go into the settings and you can select auto-translate and just scroll down until you find English, select that and you are good to go. the channel Buckstabbu has added English translation subtitles to many of the band live performances. Thought this info might help you because Rammstein's lyrics are usually somewhat ambiguous, have multiple layers of meanings, and use cultural references, nuance and word-play that as non-Germans it would be easy to miss. I look forward to seeing more Rammstein on the channel ☮

[@jeosenlord5237]

Please more rammstein ❤

[@spuckz]

I mean as a German. It's all about the lyrics in the Rammstein songs. The have double meanings all the time. What ever the german bandwagon should be here already :) But! Could you dig your toes into the band Toadies and there strange timings and unusual but catchy songs? I would like to now what would be possible when some piano geek would take over their songs :)

Du hast = you have Du hasst = you hate the double ss along with the context of the sentence. Du hast mich is you have me. German has several forms of many words that change according to the context & grammar of the sentence. The song Mein Herz Brennt is about nightmares!

[@Kristina-jf4hd]

I was coming to comments to explain the difference between du hast and du hasst but you beat me to it! Thank you.

[@21soroka]

Rammstein has the whole album of piano-version of their songs, I guess some songs from the album would be interesting for the pianist. Or in the end of a video clip for Deutschland song (the video is one of the greatest of them, the song is as well) they play a piano version of the Sonne

[@nikolah.8472]

The hard rolling "R" is normally not used in german(of course differs in region, like people from siegerland that have that accent. Thats why we call them the texans from germany. Normal germans speak highgerman that is most familiar to northern german accent. Teached in school all in germany). Many mistake it for a Hitler accent imitation, but it was used in old Theater as a style element. Even Hitler used it as a style element, because the harder pronouncation draws more attention and sounds powerful.

[@marijnb2559]

When you get to the Deutschland song, make sure to get te lyrics to (english). Its a great song but its really deep also, about struggling with their german roots, wanting to love their country but also struggling with its dark history.

[@fellowchucker7224]

Mein Hertz Brent is more or less a stylized version of the Boogie Man story. The German story is about a black elf that eats mean children and steals sad children's tears.
