Rammstein - Dalai Lama (React/Review)

[@dierg07]

People need to explore more unknow Rammstein songs like Dalai Lama,Stein Um Stein, Wiener Blut, Donaukinder, Hilf Mir, Klavier, Feuer Und Wasser, Spieluhr, Rein Raus, Adios are masterpieces

[@anjizetland-von-kiesel3346]

I couldn't agree more. Some of the lesser known songs are my favourites including most of the ones you mention particularly feuer and wasser and klavier but my all time favourite is Amour. Unfortunately there are no recordings of live performances of Amour. I love how it starts quiet and builds up throughout the song in the same way as klavier and feuer and wasser.

[@xshadowsnake4672]

You are very correct. Those songs are very underrated. At times, I find myself listening to those songs rather than more well known ones.

[@RexRegisPeter]

My all time favourite is Spieluhr, I LOVE the beginning story telling.

[@furdiiv5850]

seriously those songs make rammstein what it is to me (other than the already beast well-known ones)

[@katyashein3816]

I thought Spieluhr is popular one! Donaukinder and Feuer Und Wasser is definitely of my list favourite songs!

[@martinbaumann6884]

The song is a new interpretation of Erlkönig. From Goethe. Simply brilliant 😉👍

[@zvendiearschficker6664]

It's a modern adaptation of the poem. It's one of my favorite pieces of music & poetry ever.

[@AstaronHBS]

Genau das wollte ich auch sagen. Tolles und mittlerweile altes Lied

[@gsyamsri8122]

As close to a new interpretation of the Erlenkönig as the Men in Black is a remake of E.T. . Please be serious for some time : it REUSES some of the most brilliant verses of the poem, but it's NOWHERE near a new interpretation, it's a completely different theme, a completely different masterpiece, that has in common only two things : mainly : *der kind war tot*, but the meaning is possibly so different, as the cause may also be. Because here now, the father probably kills the boy himself, maybe as a allegory for all moms and dads who symbolically or even objectively kill their own children by not letting them breath. Those who, out of fear, want to prevent the children from dying, but acting irrationally they ergo unfortunately prevent them from living (my hypothesis here, I don't pretend to know the intentions of the artist). And I can add a second characteristic in common : the very FAST rhythm, the sustained, breathtaking pace of the verses that is a rare and precious pinnacle of literature's mastery by Goethe, one can really experience only in German (if you don't [speak / know any / ] understand German, just get the translation of the words to follow and read it in German or have a German reading from YT or whatever, to follow the sound, to get hit by the increasing tightness of the entangled implied intensity of emotions, strength of evocations coming from the text, reaching an absolute paroxysmal peak of density and a legendary oxymoron as the words, on contrary, get simpler, the verses get shorter*, the phonetics get essential, minimalist, and the meaning is left nude, so raw that it hits your heart in the most direct way, upto the child's death which turns to be the death more than the (quite brutal and as raw as can be) end, of the poem itself as it's has been so intensely alive. Quite unique in the world to my mind, making this poem one of the most craziest heights of poetry, revered in the world as a legendary unreachable masterpiece for the world (not only Germans) to admire. * [the verses get shorter] ...which by the way is so rare in German, as you may know German usually needs at very least twice the length of an English text to say the same when you go intellectual, trough as this poem shows could be false in some cases when you express the very essential emotions. It is very significant, in German, to find a text in which the longest word is three syllabus long : "Erlkönig", first appearing in it's four-syllabed form : "Erlenkönig". Soit "L'Aulne-Roi" et "Le Roi des Aulnes", désignant ici le même être : la personification de la Mort. All other words are two syllabus and more frequently one syllabus, which again in German, implies... Genius. Also another consideration, an oxymoron inside the oxymoron : the more the words get simpler, the meaning naked & the text shorter, the more the reader, in opposition with this simplicity doesn't feel any ease, and is forced by the solemnity of the moment, to read slower and slower and will usually, after an increase of his voice strength, end it with a dry throat, and as the audience gets silent and petrified, experience communion with his company on a twitched whispered voice, respectfully chocked with sadness and empathy for all parents left _orphan of children_.

[@spring_in_paris]

Great reaction. The lyrics are based on the poem "der Erlkönig" by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe. Love the song. Nice and heavy. Just like the original poem. I wouldn't be surprised if Till wrote this on their travel coming from Mexico, where they experienced heavy turbulences.😁With love from Germany 🤘 😎

[@peekaboosue]

How Till gets some of his ideas/lyrics: "Some of the Tills lyrics are inspired by classical German literature. Poet Johann Wolfgang von Goethe." Goethe's famous ballad Erlkönig, for ex. translated: Who rides so late through the night and the wind? It is the father with his child. He holds the boy safely in his arms; he holds him tight, he keeps him warm. The mood and rhythm of Goethe's poem are echoed in Rammstein's "Dalai Lama": An airplane lies in the evening wind On board is a man with a child They sit safely, sit warm And are lulled into falling asleep

[@LemmysKilmister]

[@odunhops7727]

Goethe was "genius" and still one of the most intelligent people of all times!

[@CentriNEON]

This band is simply unique.

[@justston188]

This song is based on a poem by J.W.Goethe. In 1782, of course, there were still no airplanes. Here is the old original: Erlkönig - Johann Wolfgang von Goethe (english translation): ho's riding so late where winds blow wild It is the father grasping his child; He holds the boy embraced in his arm, He clasps him snugly, he keeps him warm. "My son, why cover your face in such fear?" "You see the elf-king, father? He's near! The king of the elves with crown and train!" "My son, the mist is on the plain." 'Sweet lad, o come and join me, do! Such pretty games I will play with you; On the shore gay flowers their color unfold, My mother has many garments of gold.' "My father, my father, and can you not hear The promise the elf-king breathes in my ear?" "Be calm, stay calm, my child, lie low: In withered leaves the night-winds blow." 'Will you, sweet lad, come along with me? My daughters shall care for you tenderly; In the night my daughters their revelry keep, They'll rock you and dance you and sing you to sleep.' "My father, my father, o can you not trace The elf-king's daughters in that gloomy place?" "My son, my son, I see it clear How grey the ancient willows appear." 'I love you, your comeliness charms me, my boy! And if you're not willing, my force I'll employ.' "Now father, now father, he's seizing my arm. Elf-king has done me a cruel harm." The father shudders, his ride is wild, In his arms he's holding the groaning child, Reaches the court with toil and dread. - The child he held in his arms was dead.

[@celtbhoy]

This. Rammstein mapped this poem into the 21st century. I'd guess that the child died during the flight (because of illness, as in the original poem), however the flight was safe and there was no crash. Great sing. One of my favs, wished they would play it live again.

[@justston188]

Rammstein's version is also about fear of flying. Flake is known to be very reluctant to fly. He himself stated that he always carries part of a crashed plane with him, because no plane has ever crashed a second time. He let that be because he always had problems explaining the part to customs. By the way: The song is called the Dalai Lama because he is said to suffer from a fear of flying.

[@rainerlubke3766]

true !

[@JoshSweetvale]

​​@@celtbhoyMy interpretation was that there was a decompression incident and the father held his child to keep the child from falling out, and in the panic of the moment, the father suffocates and chokes the child.

[@MrRobbo1968]

This has to be one of my top favourites Rammstein tracks. So underplayed but so well written

[@ILOVERESISTANCE]

This is my favourite Rammstein song of all time (been a Rammstein fan since 15 years). I have shivers everytime i listen to it.

[@zvendiearschficker6664]

The lyrics are based on "Der Erlkönig" by Goethe, but there are also references to the crash of Japan Air Lines Flight 123 in Japan in 1985, which killed 520 people. The cover of "Reise, Reise" is a data flight recorder that says "Flight Recorder Do Not Open" in German. If this is inspired on JAL 123, then they crashed into the side of a mountain after loosing hydraulic control of the airplane due to an explosion. They were somehow able to keep the plane in the air for over 30 minutes with nothing other than adjusting their engine thrust to gain some control of the direction of the plane. They were returning to Haneda Airport but they simply ran out of height and crashed into the mountains surrounding Tokyo.

[@TheDerMiku]

I share Matt's opinion on the mist. Greatest ending ever made in horror movies. And yes, the plane has arrived safely on the ground. Only the child was called to heaven in the song. And the father's fear is responsible for this. Children have to bear the consequences caused by the fears of their parents (in every situation in life). Could be the moral of the story. If you are looking for one.

You cannot translate the style Till tells his stories. He is a real poet!

[@ernsthaft4331]

this is an overlooked gem

[@bernardoesperanto3194]

The English translation is good, but ignores, or has to ignore that the German original uses many old-fashioned poetic words, out of general use nowadays (just a single example: "sie gehen dem Schlaf ins Garn" - totally uncommon in modern everyday German; my impression is, that the translation "and walk into sleep's trap" is good and adequat, but then my English is to weak to judge). That gives the German original an additional impression of a fairy tale or an eternal message, which intensifies the plot. This got often lost in the English translation. But as the French say "chaque traduction est un trahition", every translation is a treason.

Who rides there so late through the night dark and drear? The father it is, with his infant so dear; He holdeth the boy tightly clasp'd in his arm, He holdeth him safely, he keepeth him warm. My son, wherefore seek'st thou thy face thus to hide? - Look, father, the Erl-King is close by our side! Dost see not the Erl-King, with crown and with train? - My son, 'tis the mist rising over the plain. - "Oh, come, thou dear infant! oh come thou with me! For many a game, I will play there with thee; On my strand, lovely flowers their blossoms unfold, My mother shall grace thee with garments of gold." - My father, my father, and dost thou not hear The words that the Erl-King now breathes in mine ear? - Be calm, dearest child, 'tis thy fancy deceives; 'Tis the sad wind that sighs through the withering leaves. - "Wilt go, then, dear infant, wilt go with me there? My daughters shall tend thee with sisterly care; My daughters by night their glad festival keep, They'll dance thee, and rock thee, and sing thee to sleep." - My father, my father, and dost thou not see, How the Erl-King his daughters has brought here for me? - My darling, my darling, I see it aright, 'Tis the aged grey willows deceiving thy sight. - "I love thee, I'm charm'd by thy beauty, dear boy! And if thou'rt unwilling, then force I'll employ." - My father, my father, he seizes me fast, For sorely, the Erl-King has hurt me at last. - The father now gallops, with terror half wild, He grasps in his arms the poor shuddering child; He reaches his courtyard with toil and with dread, - The child in his arms finds he motionless, dead.

Hi Chels, hi mat this lyrics reminds me a lot to my German lessons at school. Till seems to be inspired by the poets king Johann Wolfgang von Goethe. The imagination and story line is along Goehte's poem "Erlkönig". Regards from Munich!

[@johncrwarner]

This is Rammstein's take on a classic poem by the great German poet Goethe. The poem is called Der Erlkönig Schubert set it to music and though it isn't heavy tenor and piano it is creepy as f*ck. kzbin.info/www/bejne/gIScYqNjq9KGnJI A lot of Germans would do this in literature class as Gorthe is in German Literature what Shakespeare is in English Lit.

It is called Dalai Lama because the Dalai Lama is not a fan of flying. It is from their album Reise Reise (2004)

1:45 That's an orgasm joke. As for the wailing chorus, I always imagine it as a giant hole in the cabin with the howling wind drawing the victim's gaze into the stormclouds. 6:20 If I could film that scene, the final chorus would be a wisp of the child, with solid smoke eyes locked to the camera, Snorricam style, singing, while everything else trembles on descent.

the scariest thing about this song is: 'we must live until we die', in that situation where the plane goes down you probably don't wanna live until you die.

[@maxlo63]

Yeah, the Lyrics are inspired by Erlkönig, but I guess the whole song is a metaphor about children who get everything forbidden by their parents who think that the world is too dangerous for their children, but under their "protection" the Children can never live a normal life. So they get "killed" by their parents. And the Choir are the other Children who had the same problems with their parents.

[@acasualweeb.2394]

Rammstein released the album this song takes place in to commemorate the 1985 JAL-123 Japanese Airlines flight ending up crashing into the mountain. It happened because the technical maintainable works weren't made as they should've been. This caused in rear internal frame part cracking and letting the cabin air out, which then ripped the vertical stabiliser off. The pilots were trying their best to control the plane into the safe landing, but didn't succeed. Rammstein also included a hidden track into the album which contained audio of last 30 seconds of Boeing 747's flight recorder. The entire thing is terrifying, you can first hear the Japanese pilots scared shouts, then a couple of low altitude alarms go off, one after another, followed by more shouting. Suddenly, you can hear a crash noise, after which the plane alarms keep going for two seconds, followed by the last, loud and long crash which ends the record. Out of 524 people on board, only 4 survived.

(Although the freaking box is orange idk why they called it “black box” 😂) ANNNNDDDDDDDDD if you have the CD and play the first son and then go back like rewind the first song like minus 20 seconds or so you will hear an easter egg.

[@SawyersHerpetology]

That line though 6:13 - 6:20 holy shit LOL

[@jyuvgrace5364]

Yes that would be the logical ending. At the start the "lord of the winds" asked his sons to bring him the human child. That's all he wanted. To get it, they would "crash" the plane. Of course the father out of fear of losing his son held him so tightly that it killed his son, giving the "lord of the winds" what he wanted in the first place. So the winds would most likely settle and the rest would land safely except the child that now sings with the "sons" of the "lord of the winds".

I think the father killed his son with his fear. In Goethe's poem the Erlkönig killed the son, probably after child abuse. This ist not in Till' poem.

[@peekaboosue]

In Goethe's poem, a ghostly apparition, the King of the Elves, whispers seductively to the child and seeks to abduct him into his realm. At the end of the ballad, the son dies in the arms of his father on horseback. In the song"Dalai Lama" the"King of the Winds" aims to claim the boy,who finally dies in his father's arms, held too tightly in anticipation of an airplane crash.
