Rammstein - Radio (REACTION) with my wife

The Rammstein members lived in East Germany under the socialist regime. So this song reflects their own past, too.

The spoken words at the very beginning are actually the words spoken at the beginning of the very first radio transmission ever in history in Germany…

[@moyesboy1]

Flake's playing on the synthesizer is, among other things in the song, a homage to the band "Kraftwerk", especially to their song Radioactivity. Kraftwerk is a German band from Düsseldorf, formed in 1970 by Ralf Hütter and Florian Schneider. Kraftwerk is considered a key co-founder of the Düsseldorf School in electronic music and is also referred to as a multimedia project. Kraftwerk is best known for its pioneering work in the field of electropop (and krautrock). Pieces by Kraftwerk influenced numerous musical styles such as synthpop, electro, Detroit techno, house, disco (music) and also had a decisive influence on the beginnings of hip hop off In 1997, The New York Times dubbed Kraftwerk the "Beatles of electronic dance music." Some also rank them internationally as the most influential music group of all time. In 2021, Kraftwerk became the first German band to be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

[@hallomatti]

Ergänzend wäre noch zu sagen, dass Rammstein den Titel »Model« der Band Kraftwerk gecovert hat und - meiner bescheidenen Meinung nach - dieser nachgespielte Song besser ist als das Original.

[@skloodzi]

@@hallomatti Ich bin der gleichen Meinung. Schade nur, dass das offizielle Video dazu nie veröffentlicht wurde.

[@hallomatti]

@@skloodzi Gibt es es denn ein Offizielles? Ich glaube nicht. Es ist nicht so wie bei »Stripped« von Depeche Mode. Mehr hat Rammstein nicht gecovert, so viel ich weiß. Till, unter dem Label »Lindemann« allerdings schon. Siehe »Alle Tage ist kein Sonntag«.

[@skloodzi]

@@hallomatti Nein, es gibt kein offizielles Video, aber die Dreharbeiten wurden damals für eines angefangen. Die wurden aber nie beendet. Das Video selbst sollte im Stile von Lady Di ablaufen. Rammstein hatte sich wegen Ihres Todes dagegen entschieden, es zu beenden/veröffentlichen. Es gibt aber ein "making of" in ultra mieser Qualität. kzbin.info/www/bejne/qIS5h42Dp7uZd7c&ab_channel=RZK4Evr Dort haben zwei Mädels in einem Bravo-Gewinnspiel eine Statistenrolle für das Musikvideo gewonnen.

Born in the GDR in 1981. I remember being told repeatadly absolutely not to mention listening to "western" radio or wathing TV from "the classes enemy". I'm living in Switzerland now and a colleague didn't like the song, because he didn't understand its meaning - until I told him what it's about... History is crazy.

Love this song 🎵 ❤️ they did such an amazing job live when I saw them

[@haraldmax9685]

On a meta-level, the message of the song is that thoughts, ideas and art know no boundaries and cannot be confined. Figuratively, the setting moves between the two dictatorships in pre-war and post-war Germany, where certain music, literature, art and the reception of enemy broadcasts were punishable. In the years 39 to 45, one could quickly be sent to a concentration camp for this and thus come very close to physical death.

11:47 THIS! I was born in Silesia / Śląsk / Schlesien into an old German/Silesian family. Shortly after the fall of the Wall, my parents moved with us to West Germany. I therefore have a rather disturbed relationship with my national identity. Based on my grandparents in Silesia, I feel rather German. I was taught German in my cradle, along with Polish. In Poland in general I am regarded as "the German" and have not only experienced friendliness, to stay polite. However, since West Germany has some cultural differences to Poland/Silesia, I do miss my roots a bit and am still seen as "the Polska" by many in Germany. I do get along with most people from Poland, but in recent years a certain hate towards Germany and Germans in some Polish people manifested on a personal level. Me and my family encounter more and more unpleasant people, that try to make us responsible for historic shit that happened, sometimes it even ended in damage to property or assault. I'd love to be able to identify with Poland on a deeper level, but being hated that way from some of your countrymen doesn't allow that, unfortunatelly.

[@willybauer5496]

About the "controversial" breastfeeding scene: In German breastfeeding a baby is called "Ein Baby stillen"… meaning the baby gets silent ("still" in German, like in the famous christmas tune "Stille Nacht" - "Silent Night") after crying loud to be fed. But "stillen" also has another meaning as e.g. in the German phrase: "Seine Neugier stillen", which translates into English as "satisfying your curiosity". So the radio on the breast of the woman to me is actually depicting the last meaning metaphorically and is not at all a shocking picture.

[@megatwingo]

Hi! Till's makeup is from the cabarets of the Berlin of the roaring 20's. If you know the movie "Cabaret" then you know where his makeup is coming from (especially in the scene with the song "Welcome"). The roaring 20's had the reputation to be especially kinky and decadent with a lot of orgies, crossdressers and homosexual activities. Especially in Berlin. The rest is a mixture of Third Reich and GDR (DDR), because both dictatorships restricted the receiving of radio waves from foreign countries with foreign ideas and foreign music. If you were caught listening to foreign (enemy) radio stations in the Third Reich this could be your end. In the DDR you were thrown in prison and / or your life was ruined by the secret service (Stasi). In both states the radio was the life line of the people for listening to modern western music that was forbidden in both dictatorships. Despite of those threats the most people in the GDR watched west-TV and listened to west-radio. There was an area in the east, where no western TV and radio waves were getting to. That area was called "Tal der Ahnungslosen" (valley of the clueless) by the east Germans. The women protesting and going over the top with bare breasts and the women turning over the car were part of the women's rights movements. Then they had written on posters and their body in the 1960's & 1970's the slogan "My body belongs to me" (part of the pro abortion movement inside the womens rights movement of the 1960's and 70's). In the video they had written on posters and bodies "My Radio belongs to me". In the same women's rights direction goes the scene with the complaining man (about the food) and the woman throws him to the ground. But to be honest: I don't know, why they brought up that women's rights stuff in the context with their song about the radio. Maybe the radio helped spreading those political ideas back then, too. The music was in big parts a homage to the sound of the band "Kraftwerk" and their songs about radio waves and the radio itself (partly integrated into songs like "Autobahn"). My recommendation: The band "Kraftwerk" and their song "Autobahn". If possible, take one of the latest versions. If possible from one of their latest life events with the 3D animation of the German highway in the background. Greetings Mega 👋😇👋 PS: "fernes Weh" means literally translated "distant pain", right. But in this case it is an unusual, artistic version of the German word "Fernweh" (Wanderlust, travel nerves, travel bug, to have itchy feet). All those English expressions and words for Fernweh (even the imported German word Wanderlust) aren't catching the real meaning of "Fernweh". It isn't just the wish to travel somewhere. It's like a sweet (at the same time wistful) yearning and thinking about distant places.

[@greeensmoker8607]

Warm greetings from germany ❤️

[@wolfgangengel4835]

Love those reactions. I think you should also react to the official Rammsteinvideo for "Mann gegen Mann". It is also very controversial in a way you haven't seen yet, and it has a good important message.👍🏻

[@braack4859]

The translation "Secret silence, Distant Pain" is wrong. It should be "I secretly silence distant pain". And now the meaning is quite different.

[@lionsmustard]

To me "...(ich) stille heimlich fernes Weh" would be best translated, "(I) secretly quench the desire to travel - Fernweh, the opposite of Heimweh - homesick. Also, they use the fact that "stillen" in german means breastfeeding/nursing, but also quench thirst/a desire as a segue to bring breasts in the video. Get ready for November 25th, new video "Adieu"!

[@Astrofrank]

@@lionsmustard Seems do be correct. The translation in the video is also not good in other cases.

[@KotoRyuda]

The problem with Tills lyrics is that you have to have above average native speaker level to grasp all the details.

Radio" is another history lesson Just a few weeks ago, Rammstein walked through German history with their song "Deutschland" in seven-league boots. Now the band continues their history lesson. On Friday Rammstein released their second single from the album "RAMMSTEIN", which will be released on May 17th. On Thursday evening, around 1,000 people in Berlin-Mitte, Hamburg and Cologne had the opportunity to see the video publicly for the first time in a kind of flash mob. The almost five-minute strip was projected onto house walls. However, if you wanted to hear the audio track, you had to bring a radio or listen on your smartphone. The new track is also called "Radio" and describes how it must have felt to have lived in the German Democratic Republic (GDR). The first verses of the song read: "We weren't allowed to belong/ See, talk or hear nothing". "That song was forbidden" Western songs, especially English-language (rock) music, were mostly banned in the workers' and peasants' state or were subject to strict censorship. Listening to so-called Western radio and television stations in the Federal Republic was also forbidden. Information sovereignty lay with the Socialist Unity Party of Germany (SED) and the Ministry for State Security (MfS) - and they saw West German radio and television programs as a threat to their rule. In "Radio" this is expressed in two verses of the second stanza: "That song was forbidden / so dangerous foreign notes," sings Till Lindemann (56) in a contemptuous, melancholy manner. However, many people in the GDR ignored this ban. Between 1949 and 1989, no border, no matter how well secured, was able to intercept the radio waves on which the radio stations of the Federal Republic broadcast their programs. Anyone with a radio could listen in. In the second half of the first stanza it says: "But every night for an hour or two/ I've disappeared from this world/ Every night a little bit happy/ My ear very close to the world receiver". Even at this point, Rammstein hint at the suffering that the GDR inflicted on people. But this becomes really clear in the refrain: "So I hear what I don't see/ Silence secretly distant woe". In the video, Rammstein show the importance of listening to the radio at night in the GDR in different ways. You see a woman having sex with the "world receiver". A nun worships the radio, rosary in hand. Another woman takes her transistor radio for a walk in her stroller, takes it to her breast to breastfeed - when it is snatched from her by a police officer, she sinks to her knees imploringly. "My radio is listening" In the end it is precisely this oppression that brings the system down in "Radio". Angry people literally go to the barricades in the video. The People's Police helplessly swing their clubs. One young woman is particularly striking. In reference to the Femen movement, she wrote the words "My radio is one" on her bare upper body. At the same time, she waves a flag - in the style of the icon of the French Revolution, the Delacroix painting "Liberty Leads the People" from 1830. With Rammstein, it is the radio that leads the people to freedom. It stands for the freedom that comes from information - and the fear of oppressing systems of the free word. "Radio" also has biographical features: The Rammstein band members grew up in the GDR. The band got its start in the GDR punk rock scene of the 1980s. In their biography published in 2015, Rammstein even go so far as to say that the band would not have existed without the GDR. With "Radio" Rammstein give their listeners the audio-visual opportunity to go into the emotional world of those Germans who had to suffer under the GDR system - processing in the style of the New German Hardship. "Radio" has become a highly political track, just like "Deutschland", which was released a few weeks ago. If this pattern continues, then the new album is a record that springs from the increasingly political zeitgeist and pours it into hard notes that fans can bang, mosh and sing to - and even learn something in the process.

[@tosa2522]

At the end of the video, when the color comes back, Rammstein has an actual message to politics. The EU star wreath is on a red (communist) flag and not on a blue background. I understand this to mean that the band members think that politics is (once again) interfering too much in people's lives. The band itself had the experience that their album "Liebe ist für alle da" was censored because politics decided that it was not art. Responsible for the censorship at that time is the current president of the EU Commission, Ursula von der Leyen.

[@davidbroz6755]

Most of Rammstein's music videos are full of symbolism and references to history, etc. The band members are from East (communist) Germany. Till is made up in the style of the Berlin interwar cabaret, the police chief is in the uniform of an interwar policeman (but the same uniform was also used during Nazism). East Germans could not travel to the world. Therefore, radio broadcasts "became for their ears their eyes". It's all about the desire for freedom. But instead of a straightforward depiction of the struggle for political freedom, an analogy (metaphor) is used with women's desire for freedom - emancipation. The 1960s were tumultuous - women demonstrating, burning their bras, etc. The naked woman on the barricade is a reference to the famous painting "Liberty Leading the People" by the French painter Eugène Delacroix. Rammstein also like to play with words (which can only be understood by someone who knows German well). For example, the German word "stillen" is translated as "to comfort, to silence, to satisfy", but also as "breastfeed" (see "Stille heimlich fernes Weh" - "I quietly silence distant pain"). That's why there's a nonsensical scene (for non-Germans) where a woman breastfeeds a small radio. The woman in the room also satisfies herself sexually with the radio.
