Herbert Grönemeyer DVD - Land unter Live HD (Schiffsverkehr Tour 2011) - REACTION

[@patriciahiddings3273]

The wind is askew The air of ice The seagulls screech stubbornly The elements duel You keep me on course Don't be afraid of sinking Spray hits my face I fight my way to the horizon For there I'll meet you Guide me home Rough endlessness Gone too long Light the fires So that I can find you Climb aboard with me Take over the watch Take me through the night Save me through the storm Hold me tight So that I can hold on Bring me to the end Don't let me go anymore The sky is howling The sea is rising Waves fight you back Plunge me from valley to valley The forces against me Are ocean far away The rain lashes from the front And even if it's pointless It shall not be I'll never give you up Take me home Rough endlessness Be gone too long Light the fires So I can find you Climb aboard with me Take over the watch Take me through the night Save me through the storm Hold me tight So that I can hold on Bring me to the end Don't let me go anymore

Sehr schöne Übersetzung 💚

Deine Reaktionen find ich großartig. Du gehst voll aus dir raus. Es ist mir mir ein Vergnügen, mit dir Musik zu hören. Vielen Dank und bleib gesund. 😊

[@uwerieger9793]

"Bochum", "Kinder an die Macht", "Flugzeuge im Bauch", "Bleibt alles anders".... please go on with some of these great songs by Grönemeyer

[@Goddybag4Lee]

Deine Liebe Klebt, Die Härte, Was Soll Das, Vollmond and Deine Hand is also great.

[@tinisunblue]

@@Goddybag4Lee Deine Liebe klebt and Was soll das are published in English, too. But at the English versions you can hear that Herbert Grönemeyer isn't used to and doesn't paticularly like singing in English.

[@Goddybag4Lee]

If you listen to the album version of this song, it's his most soft song ever. Yes this song makes you want to learn German. All his songs makes you want to learn German. He is one of the most poetic songwriters in Europe that's for sure.

[@tinisunblue]

This is the moment at the concert everyone is fighting back tears of joy. I had goosebumps like never ever before in my life. The bigger the audience the more intense the goosebumps. And in Cologne "his eyes were sweating" :) or you could say he had tears of joy too. Btw I don't think it is the softest Song ever. Listen to "Dort und hier" or "Halt mich". Or to "Deine Zeit" und "Sie", but in that Songs it is the subject that hits hard

[@Goddybag4Lee]

@@tinisunblue But the album version of this song is so soft you feel like every bone turns into jelly and the music matches the voice like nothing else.

[@tinisunblue]

@@Goddybag4Lee everyone thinks and feels different. So do you and I

I. Love. This. Song. One of the highlights of every concert. He often brings "Land unter" in the encore.

[@hansmolders1066]

This one has a nordic coastal theme. You see it by the accordion. His wife was from the North. It's about the tides, storms, fogs of love and the desire to be held. That's why she turns on the fires in the lighthouse and he sounds the foghorn. Very Northern Country!

[@LarsKomm]

The reason why people say that he is hard to understand is most problably his unique singing style. Most of the times he sings clear and does not mumble or something. He defies the conventions on melodic and rhythmic singing with those staccato and long notes combined in unusual rhythmic patterns. That often leads to unusual emphasis on words and make them hard to recocnize. There is even scientific discourse about how this is part of the reason for his big success. However, I do love his music 😃

[@kaisander939]

yeah he even sings longs notes on consonants frequently, which is against every musical theory.

[@bigtiger1964]

The term “Land unter” is difficult to translate. There are small islands (in German: Halligen) in the German tidelands that haven’t got any dikes. The houses are protected by building them on small artificial hills. About twenty times a year a storm tide floods the islands. They are covered by sea water then except for the little hills with the houses. That’s called “Land unter.” For the worst case the houses have got special, protected rooms on the upper level that will remain standing on pillars even if the whole house is swept away by the tide. There is a good YT video about “Land unter”: kzbin.info/www/bejne/q5XQYYlvmKipp6M Thank you very much for your reactions to German musicians!

[@brigittegranier3468]

Thank you for this detailed information 🤗

For us nothern germans who love water, Storm, rain and the ocean

[@tinisunblue]

I live in North Rhine Westfalia and I hope to hear this song on every concert, too.

[@omanipadmeum7319]

The video is from a concert in Grönemeyer's home town of Bochum. Bochum is located in what was once a huge industrial area known as the "Ruhrgebiet" and played a major role in coal mining and steel production after the war, making a decisive contribution to the German economic miracle. Text excerpt: The pit gold has brought us up again ! This song is also played every time Bochum's soccer team enters the pitch before the game and the whole stadium sings along. Pure goosebumps! - kzbin.info/www/bejne/f2nSanl9p6iZfMk - and from the concert in "Gelsenkirchen" with instruments and his voice - kzbin.info/www/bejne/mKGqeneFd7-kna92OCHUM Deep in the west, Where the sun gathers dust It's better Much better than you think Deep in the west You're no beauty You're grey from work You love yourself without make-up You're an honest guy But you're all screwed up But that's what makes you special You've got a pulse of steel You can hear it loud in the night You're just too modest Your mine gold Has brought us up again, You're a flower of the region Bochum I come from you Bochum I hang on you Good luck, Bochum You are not a cosmopolitan city On your Königsallee There are no fashion shows Here, where the heart still counts Not big money Who lives in Düsseldorf You're a canopy bed for pigeons And you're always on coke You've got a summerhouse in the allotment With a double pass Every opponent wet You and your VfL (Soccer Team)

No, this video is from a concert DVD recorded in Leipzig.

Hey D, If you like Herbert so much you should also react to his song "Halt mich" (hold me). It's one of his most beautiful love songs! Greatings from Hamburg!

[@schuhschrank947]

I don't know if it helps, but here are the German lyrics: Land unter Der Wind steht schief Die Luft aus Eis Die Möwen kreischen stur Elemente duellieren sich Du hältst mich auf Kurs Hab keine Angst vor'm Untergehn Gischt schlägt ins Gesicht Ich kämpf mich durch zum Horizont Denn dort treff' ich dich Geleite mich heim Rauhe Endlosigkeit Bist zu lange fort Mach die Feuer an Damit ich dich finden kann Steig zu mir an Bord Übernimm die Wacht Bring mich durch die Nacht Rette mich durch den Sturm Fass mich ganz fest an Das ich mich halten kann Bring mich zu Ende Lass mich nicht mehr los Bring mich zu Ende Lass mich nicht mehr los Der Himmel heult Die See geht hoch Wellen wehren dich Stürzen mich von Tal zu Tal Die Gewalten gegen mich Bist du ozeanweit entfernt Der Regen peitscht von vorn Und ist auch sinnlos Soll's nicht sein Ich geb dich nie verloren 2x: Geleite mich heim Rauhe Endlosigkeit Bist zu lange fort (second time only: Du bist zu lange fort) Mach die Feuer an Damit ich dich finden kann Steig zu mir an Bord Übernimm die Wacht Bring mich durch die Nacht Rette mich durch den Sturm Fass mich ganz fest an Das ich mich halten kann Bring mich zu Ende Lass mich nicht mehr los Bring mich zu Ende Lass mich nicht mehr los Quelle: Musixmatch Songwriter: Herbert Grönemeyer

[@Mrwiggles360]

This is off topic but, I loved watching you discover Stevie ray Vaughan, and its been a while, thought you should see him play..., ain't gonna give up on love,.... enjoy

[@Ja_net_nette]

The "t" in the name Herbert is pronounced 😊

[@tinisunblue]

On the subject of "you can't understand what he's singing": perhaps you can compare him in this respect to Bruce Springsteen and the pronunciation in English. Although it has to be said that Herbert is perhaps a little easier to understand. He himself says that he is not the clearest and most articulate singer on the planet. But you can see that something comes across anyway :)

[@Marek-ro6gw]

You really need to check the english version of “Mensch” where Herbert sings live together with his long time friend Bono.

[@schuhschrank947]

I only found a version where both of them sing this song in German. Do you have a link?

[@Marek-ro6gw]

@@schuhschrank947 can’t post the link here. Look for: U2News - Mensch - Bono & Herbert Grönemeyer

[@schuhschrank947]

Now I found it. Thank you very much ❤ That was a difference to the German version where Bono is trying to sing in German.

[@brigittegranier3468]

In slow songs I understand the lyrics, in fast songs I find it more difficult 🤗

[@tinisunblue]

The faster you sing the less clear the words. That is natural with everyone.

[@schuhschrank947]

You can learn a song in a foreign language, needs just a little bit of practise... If you want to try to sing it here is the link to the official video where the words are a little bit clearer. kzbin.info/www/bejne/bZewpXptlJZgprMsi=DVxwoqMzjxRyr6xC . I put the lyrics there, too, just search for it. And you get to see young Herbert ❤
