Rammstein - Sonne (React/Review)

[@fionadowdeswell-simmons4968]

Rammstein's take on a toxic relationship. Snow White uses the dwarves for her own ends. They mine gold for her, take punishment from her if she's not satisfied with what they provide (a bit too eagerly in Flake's case, but as Till has commented, he's an amateur masochist!) and she basks in their adoration of her. She means everything to them, she's the Sun to them and they would do anything for her. Even after she overdoses, they lovingly prepare her body, morn her and are set to guard her forever. Unfortunately for them, she revives and the whole shebang starts all over again. Absolutely brilliant video, so much imagination in it and a great twist on the Disney story while sticking more closely to the Brothers Grimm tale. . Another great reaction, as always.

[@andreagruber5813]

Well, because it has nothing to do with Disney, although she is dressed like that Snow White. I think to recognise her more easy. But we in the German speaking area (I am from Austria) know more the ferry tales collection by the brother Grim. Those are much darker and as she dies, because of the poisoned apple and the prince would like to take her, one of the dwarfs says:"but she is our sunshine". Of Course, Rammstein made it even darker. I guess that the "sunshine -part" even Paul says in the "Making of", which has English Subtitles, if I am not completely wrong. kzbin.info/www/bejne/e6fdk5ukrc98qsk that's the link to it, if someone is interested. Have a nice weekend.

[@lanman6239]

I could not have said it any better. If you look in your comments, this is the answer. Edit: Just wanted to mention that the hard cut at the end intents to show that the dwarfs are back to their backbraking work to get diamonds/gold to please their queen. It's not a happy end.

Observing many people this just feels like true life story, a lot of strong men are abused like this by women they love, they give their lives to bring material wealth to them, and aren't valued by them yet are drawn to the women...

[@lemsip207]

I noticed that Paul was at the end with a few tears running down his face. Actors (and rock stars acting in promo videos) can't just will tears on their own so often have to think of past sad situations to do that. He must be talented to do that. I just wanted to hug him.

[@HalfEye79]

What is good to know for the scene at 3:29 is that a deadly dose of a drug in Germany is called "Goldener Schuss" ("golden shot"). That can too be a reason they took gold as drug.

[@Bono19822]

HI ! I noticed there is a heavy mistake in the subs, at 1:46 they say "And the world quietly counts to 10". But Till is singing the opposite (!) : "And the wordl loudly counts to 10" !!!! Greets from Germany, love your channel !

[@allyhewitt1300]

Anyone in their early to mid 30s who listened to metal will recognise that riff, if not secretly admit it's one of the best. This and Du Hast were the Rammstein gateway drugs back in the day. It's also one of the best music videos ever made, of any genre (also worth noting, that jackhammer Till is holding weighs like 30kg, or roughly 70lbs)

[@LadyTigerLily]

I'm sure someone has said this already, but in the Grimm's version, Snow White was never actually dead, she was just in a kind of death-seeming coma. As the prince's servants are moving Snow White's body to be buried, they trip while carrying her, which dislodges the piece of poisoned apple from her throat, thus reviving her. There's a little irony in the apple shattering this Snow White's glass coffin to revive her from her gold overdose.

Most people don’t know that another idea for a music video was the dropping of the atomic bomb on Hiroshima... Paul Landers (Riff) Interview MTV Masters, Germany 2001. The idea was that the band would be the crew of the plane that would drop the atomic bomb on Hiroshima in 1945. During the chorus the mushroom cloud of the explosion would be shown. It would then go on to show the conflict of the band, and how they were able to drop the bomb, knowing that people down there died a horrible death. nice Reaction, greetings from Germany❤

[@D-ragon-S]

To me, this is a story of co-dependence in a relation with a drug addict. The love to the user allows her(usually him) to abuse and take advantage of you. The violence takes away your self-esteem and you go back everyday into the mine to serve. The co-dependence ends (kind'a) , when the addiction dies...but starts easily again if the addiction "wakes up". Much Love 💙💛💙

By the way This is the outro from their "Deutschland"-video. (As piano version)..

[@gindrinkersline3285]

Snow White is a 19th-century German fairy tale. The Brothers Grimm published it in 1812 in the first edition of their collection Grimms' Fairy Tales and numbered as Tale 53. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snow_White. As with most Disney stories they've been taken from European originals. The ¨happy ending¨ to many of them was created by Disney to suit an American audience.

[@doomiusborgius]

I think this song speaks about the stockholms syndrom esc relationship between the working class and the elite.

[@Kirill_Beresta]

Finally! I was waiting for that one.

[@lemsip207]

It was made in 2001. I wish I had known about this back then but was too busy into American and British bands so had never heard of Rammstein until this year when they performed in my city and also there were satirical articles about them in Newsthump. One about them peforming in the Platinum Jubilee for the Queen since so many Germans had married into the British Royal Family.

[@scharsigo]

I like how video and lyrics tell a different story. "Sonne" ist literally a song about a boxing fight and the feeling on your face when the fist hits it. (That's why they count to nine, too, even though he mentions "the world counts to ten")

[@aaronlutke6300]

That particular explanation works for the intellectually deficient. Other people can see that they wrote it to be layered and interpreted in different ways.

[@scharsigo]

@aaronlutke6300 Sure, although it's known that the song was originally written for the Klitschko brothers

[@ricocampos1331]

That video was the best! The true mining dwarves of mythology, meeting with the lost enchanted princess. She sniffed all the gold and diamonds until she overdosed. Do you know the song Lucy In the Sky With Diamonds? It's actually about LSD.

[@Tbonyandsteak]

Is it not those girls that thinks they are princesses, waiting for the prince on the white horse. Are the most abusive relationships where the man have to live up to "the princesse" expectations. So he have to work hard to fullfill them and yet he gets any acknowledgement for what he does. The Sun represent where you want to be on the sunny side of life. The dualism of Norm, Religion, dogmatic beliefs: IF you are not on the Sunny side, you are condemn to the dark side. The Apple represent the desire to be in the Sun. Commercialism, politics, coorperations, are big time into this. But who can you blame, only your self, you took the Apple......................

[@TomTomson81]

In principle, it is the sadomasochistic variant of Snow White. This describes the toxic relationships between people and with drugs. The sun could be seen with reference to the video as the intoxication that emanates from drugs. Basically, however, as far as I know, the video adheres more to the original fairy tale and not the effeminate child-friendly Disney version. Btw the apple killed Snow White in the Disney version. The coffin shattered when the dwarves accidentally dropped it during transport to the prince's castle. Snow White then spat out the apple again and lived. Rammstein turns this around. The apple smashes the coffin and brings her back. The toxic relationship can continue

[@lemsip207]

In the making of video Paul was saying he was chosen to be spanked unanimously by the rest of the band as he's the shortest. Flake looks as if he is getting ready to be spanked but doesn't get filmed being spanked.

[@michaelgrabner8977]

the German language has no silent letters..except the letter combi "ie" here the "e" is silent and just an indicator to pronounce the "i" long and in some cases the "h" after a vowel which is also just an indicator to pronounce the vowel long but those 2 are the only exceptions for "silent letters" in the german language..just saying. Therefore in "Sonne" every letter is pronounced. By the way the chorus is the same as like in the song "Deutschland" the piano piece at the end.

Thank you for the great video! Rammstein dudes have access to limited knowledge apparently. To my view this clip briefly but meaningfully represents how this world works in a spiritual level. The binary tree of good and evil. Snow White is our soul, aka Penelope, Eve. The dwarfs are our 7 energy centers, harvesting to feed the soul. The soprano is the Sirens, see Odysseus. The sun is our higher self, directly linked to the soul, and has all the knowledge, calling us to try and find it. And because it is so hard, our friend and brother Jesus showed us the way but we constantly fail, another story why. That's why the clip is black and white, apart from Snow White. That's the world we live in now. Notice also the saint-like halo behind Snow White's head when she has the dwarfs in her lapalways cloudy. The world counts to ten, this is a cycle, actually the life cycle itself. But notice it never reaches number 10, see below why. And finally the apple...well it represents the desire to come and experience this world but we cannot get free as we constantly create karma, which we have to pay. How? By coming back again, Snow White gets it again and comes back to "life". That's right, reincarnation. Pardon my english, not a native speaker. Think about it. By asking questions to yourselves. Answers will come, trust me. But don't judge where they come from, keep your spirit open. Thank you again for the video! Ps a song with similar meaning is also Ohne Dich.
