12:06 It took me almost 20 years to figure out what the song actually is about. As a child, I did not really get it. Later and when I learned that his wife died, and after having some negative phases in my own life, I started to understand. The song seemingly about enyoing life, is in between the lines about being absolutely devastated, trying to cope with it by telling yourself that everything is fine, while it's actually not fine at all. Every verse, he sings about how nice it is, is broken, as he puts the ending line always with the actual conclusion: "I miss you", he repeats that over and over. Or like the part when he sings about the blue sky, while not paying his bills. Superficially it looks like he was carefree, but it actually points out that he is/was so depressed and sad, he could not even get his daily chores done .

[@karinobertreiso3613]

He is a legend. A true poet and a National treasure in Germany.

[@guidow9616]

This song was the song after "Der Weg", which you also featured in your channel. After singing about the loss, this one is on how to stand up again. At the end the people are going crazy. I was one of them in the masses ~50m from the stage. This night was absolutly magical, it was the best concert I was ever in. And I watched Joe Cocker on one of his last gigs and also genesis ... The stadium it's in is a football arena "Arena auf Schalke", from the former first division club "FC Schalke 04". It was sold out and ~65k people inside

[@ErwinStechapfel]

Under the video itself it says there were 65,000 viewers. Today this arena can hold up to 80,000 people for concerts. Grönemeyer's album "4630 Bochum" - the 4630 is the zip code at the time - was released in 1984 and he grew up in Bochum. This album was his commercial breakthrough. He has released 17 albums to date. The album "Mensch" is his most commercially successful album with 3.6 million records sold. He recorded it in London, where he retreated after the death of his brother and his wife a short time later. He started making music again because he was afraid of losing it too.

[@alemanenandalucia9339]

His popularity originally came from playing a supported role in "Das Boot" directed by Wolfgang Petersen. When he was asked what his further long plans would be, he answered that he wanted to concentrate on his core talent to be a musician! Germany was shocked because nobody had ever heard of him as a musician. Well, well we all thought, that he was crazy! With much of luck he got a role in one of the most iconic movies of all time! And then he told us that he wasn't an actor but more a musician!

[@JohnHazelwood58]

His album "Mensch" (< "human") is the 2nd most sold album in Germany. Also he sold 19 million records in a country with 80 millionen people < means: almost every household own a record of him. At least - as his songs are played on the radio - everybody in Germany "heard" of him as his songs are aired since 40+ years. Good for you: As Germany has the third largest music market on this planet - there is still a lot to discover! ... of every music genre! :)

[@tinisunblue]

What is number one? For a longer time it was said that "Mensch" is the most sold album in Germany ever.

[@JohnHazelwood58]

@@tinisunblueThe O.S.T. of "Dirty Dancing" was sold more often in Germany. To be fair: it's kind of a sampler, but registered as album. < which is NOT my fault btw! :) I own both! XD

[@tinisunblue]

okay, then the statistics of H. Grönemeyer being most sold in Germany is referring to solo artists and groups.@@JohnHazelwood58

Thank you for your reaction to Herbert Grönemeyer live in GELSENKIRCHEN. There are said to have been around 60,000 to 65,000 people in this football stadium at the time. Today, almost 80,000 people can enter the stadium for major events. In addition to being a singer, songwriter, musician, he was also an actor. (1981 "The Boat") After the family tragedy in November 1998, in which he lost his brother on the 1st and his wife on the 5th, he disappeared from the stage (understandable). In 2002 he dedicated “Der Weg” to his wife and “ Mensch” he came back stronger.

[@thorstenwolters9025]

I was at that tour in Hamburg. Herbert is an amazing live performer. He is extremely popular in Germany. Great reaction, D . Thank you that you show so much different music❤

[@hastdiegansgestohlen]

good times

[@tinisunblue]

The polar bear is the heraldic animal of his record label "Grönland Records". And the song brings back the normal madness that prevails at his concerts. Everyone can sing along to the songs, he spreads a great atmosphere and his band does the rest. Btw. I learned from someone who attended the concert that the wave lasted 15 minutes. And on the subject of "no more empty seats in the whole arena": if he were to play in this arena three nights in a row, it would look like this on all three nights. You still have to be very quick if you want to buy tickets through the official channels. And the black market prices for his tickets are twice to three times higher than the official price. On the tour 21 years ago, he could have played twice as many concerts as he did. There's a small catch: he did have chaperones for his children who watched his back, but ultimately he was solely responsible for them. And they were just at the "easy-care age" of thirteen and fifteen (where you never get any stupid ideas).

[@robbyrobby9778]

your reaction videos are among the best ever. and you are absolutely adorable. all the best for you from germany thanks for your awesome entertainment

[@keyboard5494]

Your pronounciation of "Herbert Grönemeyer" was really superb. Greetings from the region "Ruhrgebiet" (Ruhr Area), where Herbert is originally from.

[@Masi154]

As a child I always laught about him (because only old people listen to that kind of music) but now as an adult I come to realise how beautiful the lyrics are really.

[@music2seeconcertphotograph457]

These are the moments that gie me goosebumps again and again.And that make moments unforgettable. I saw him twice live: An awesome live artist

[@winterlinde5395]

Mensch is human being. But he has a song „Männer“ (men), too. It’s even older One of the first ones that made him popular.

[@sarahmichael270244]

it was his breakethrough song!

[@littlebigmum]

Herbert ist einer der ganz großen Musiker in Deutschland, sehr gute Texte. Aber auch mit ihm ist es wie mit Rammstein, entweder man liebt ihn oder man hasst ihn. Ich liebe beide. Und dieses Stadion in Gelsenkirchen ist Ende Juli an fünf Tagen hintereinander mit Rammstein ausgebucht. Ich bin am letzten Tag da , leider auch das Ende der tour. Herbert und die Jungs sind absolute Musik Elite.

[@TheIAmThat]

Herbert Grönemeyer is a legend. Making great music from (actually before) 1984 until today. He reinvented himself 25 years ago. So many great songs, fantastic lyrics that make you think, laugh or cry.

[@tinisunblue]

One moment you are celebrating, the next moment he rips your heart into pieces with his songs.

Yes Das Boot WW2 Movie (U BOAT) 1981 by Wolfgang Petersen !

[@miraz.6825]

Ich war bei der "Mensch" Tour damals in Stuttgart. Es war ein unglaubliches Erlebnis! Er wollte gar nicht mehr aufhören zu singen! Absolut klasse Stimmung! 5 Jahre später habe ich ihn in Mönchengladbach gesehen. Seine Konzerte waren zusammen mit Rammstein die besten, die ich je gesehen habe! I was on the “Mensch” tour in Stuttgart back then. It was an incredible experience! He didn't want to stop singing! Absolutely great atmosphere! 5 years later I saw him in Mönchengladbach. His concerts, along with Rammstein, were the best I've ever seen!

[@kurtiklaas]

I'm not the biggest Grönemeyer Fan, but we, my wife (she loves him) and I, went to several Grönemeyer concerts in Hamburg. He is a brillant live artist. Every concert was exciting and full of joy and he perform in gigantic stadiums. Fantastic live musician!

[@Goddybag4Lee]

Yay someone actually react to the 9 minutes long clip on Mensch. Great reaction. Wonderful song.

[@claudiaoestereich2426]

Herbert- Ikone❤

[@stefanquednau9549]

The onlyone survive "Das Boot" :)

[@hellemarc4767]

Electricity can be said "Elektrizität" but people commonly say "Strom" (like "stream"); "Mensch" ("sch" is pronounced exactly like "sh" in English) is the generic term for "human being", male and female. Herbert is also a popular actor, he was in "Das Boot" ("The Boat"), a well-known movie about a submarine during WWII, and many other TV series and such, often as a villain in cop shows.

[@feuerwehrmanngrisu9094]

Grönemeyer is my favourite! He was one of the main actors in "Das Boot" If you dont know the movie please watch

[@AFNacapella]

btw, that dude played in Das Boot together with Jürgen Prochnow (who played Duke Leto Atreides in the old Dune movie) shortly before he became famous as a singer.

[@Frohds14]

Also typically German: We like singers who can't sing. In this case I really like the singer because he had a song called "Currywurst". You should also do a reaction to Die Toten Hosen, Die Ärzte, Marius Müller Westernhagen, Udo Lindenberg... I've been an Element of Crime fan since my youth. The best album for me is still "Try to be Mensch" - it was also the third album I've ever bought (1987), on vinyl of course. My first was The dream of the blue turtles by Sting. I was and am music style fluid.

[@lukasdr9193]

Grönemeyer always brings me back to a better time. I was born in 1997 but my parents (they´ve been at ecxact this concert btw) are huge Grönemeyer fans so I have always known his music. But the best of this is the concert for itself, no smartphone, no one is filming, no freaking live streams on instagram and all this shit. Last time I went to a concert, I got told to stop dancing, cause a roundabout 18 year old girl waanted to film it probably... its so fucked up... There are only a few other german artists, that have that status of Herbert Grönemeyer. He´s a huge fucking fish in the lake of german artists. I would say the biggest, but also with his status, you cant reach Rammstein or Scooter in any way.

[@brigittegranier3468]

Thank you for your Interpretation ♥️

[@rupertschwarz1176]

This song was a very huge hit in Germany

[@mickypescatore9656]

Hi, D.! I don`t like Herbert Grönemeyer that much, but this one song and this "crowd control-performance" is awsome! Just beautiful! This song is special. And I respect his long successful career as a musician and even actor ("Das Boot" and "Frühlingssynfonie", together with Nastassja Kinski). Btw: When he was young he composed a song called "Currywurst"! 😆

[@tinisunblue]

Herbert never composed "Currywurst". He just published it. "Currywurst" is from Dieter Krebs.

[@neeag4112]

They started singing the croud/sporting tribute 'oh, wie ist das schön' (oh, how wonderful! We havn't seen something like this in a long time! So beutiful, so beautiful!)

[@user-xg1ts1tk6m]

...und er fragt"meint ihr das optisch oder gesanglich?" 😉

[@katjawege6886]

It is heartbreaking. I think this was the first song to come out after his wife had died. It is about trying to live on and enjoy life - but "you are missing" 😥So sad 🙄

[@KNane]

Maybe react to STS - Fürstenfeld Live 2008 if you like a good and clear singing crowd. its an austrian pub classic about a young man from Fürstenfeld (a small town in austria) that wanted to be a street artist in Vienna. Yet he failed to get popular and just wanted to go home to his town. Its a song about appreciating your home and a reminder that you should never forget what you home is.

[@lulana9545]

It's funny how you found yet another German musician who's insanely politically active, just like Die Ärzte :)

[@schuhschrank947]

Your first reaction to one of his songs (Der Weg) was with English subs ❤

[@stevyyjay85]

The man has sold 20 million albums in Germany (#1 alltime, domestic and international). He is the biggest grossing touring artist of all times in Germany as well.

[@hexstatick3383]

I think you could compare him to “The Boss” Bruce Springsteen in regard of adoration and popularity in Germany. Yeah, could be right… our German equivalent to Bruce Springteen

[@thomaskurschner2949]

I'd like to know what it feels like to be on stage at that moment.😅

[@tinisunblue]

I think pure madness

[@Goddybag4Lee]

He absolutely loves live shows. And you see on his face when they do the wave that he is at peak happiness.

[@tinisunblue]

He is very susceptible to shedding tears of joy. Still does today (for example, on the tour last year)@@Goddybag4Lee

[@tinisunblue]

I'm sure some thoughts like "What the... is going on here?" is part of all that, too.@@Goddybag4Lee

[@holgerlange7225]

Look to Herbert Grönemeyer Der Mond ist aufgegangen, the same man, the same Stadion, the end of a conzert

[@tinisunblue]

I'm not sure whether a translation into English comes across as well as the original German text. After all, this is not a modern pop song, but a lullaby that is several centuries old. I think every single word counts. But I agree with you that his version is magically beautiful.

[@user-rn2dp2it1l]

This song is about his wife, she died of cancer

After...

[@user-vq9xs5hv2i]

On November 1st, his brother and just 4 days later on November 5th, 1998, his wife, both died of cancer.

[@tinisunblue]

That was four and a half years after. And many songs of the album refer to grief, not giving up and clear your view for the future.

[@juwen7908]

This one is pretty good, to show you how big and important Herbert is here. But my personal favourites are the older ones, cause he is famous for soo long here. From his 1998 album "Bleibt alles anders". Try this one (unfortunately without subs, but the comment section will help you with that if you give it a try 😉) ‘Bleibt alles anders‘ kzbin.info/www/bejne/ZqjOlKKHarSajbssi=FvV4U4weFivPTZ4b and especially this one ‘Fanatisch‘ kzbin.info/www/bejne/norJp2Npnp6tipIsi=3I2aZOryyDzItibC (it's a bit creepy but good and the video is like a short movie. Amazing!) But I also love the classics like 'Männer' kzbin.info/www/bejne/lXq9pKucpJ18itksi=x0he7LfQLObasVIm (video from german tv 1984 😂) and 'Was soll das' kzbin.info/www/bejne/rnuteoZsadCSgrssi=tVJGm_q-8zgH77Ge Enjoy to deep dive into one of our biggest and long lasting musicians 😊 Greetings from Berlin 😎

Ok my friend, thanks for this raection. Great song, great growd, but i don't like him as a person. He is also known for political statement during his concerts, and for ME this does'nt go together. Wrap your message in music and play your song, but don't act as a politician on the stage. My point. Fun fact, this stadium is sold out by RAMMSTEIN 5 days in a row in Juli 2024. 5 times 65000 people.

[@tinisunblue]

You are welcome to think otherwise, many people have a different opinion. Many people particularly like Herbert Grönemeyer precisely BECAUSE he openly communicates what he stands for. He grew up in the Ruhr area, where migrant citizens were and are completely normal. And if you're referring to his speech in Vienna: he's right. If politicians can't get their act together to create a climate in which no one is excluded because of their gender, sexual orientation, skin color or origin, we have to create this climate ourselves and show politicians how we imagine living together.
