First Time Reaction | Rammstein - "Ohne Dich" 

After rewatching a few times, I realized a few things I missed on my initial listen that made this even deeper. Till dying at the end and accepting death was a hard hitting scene. I initially thought he was "healing" but realizing he succumbed to the heartbreak was a feeling many of us have unfortunately felt. The way the band was there for him in his last moments proved just how strong their bond was/is. It was a wonderful depiction of heartache and brotherhood. Absolutely one of my favorite Rammstein songs now. THANK YOU for the recommendation!

The director wanted to show that Till died from internal injuries but didn't know quite how to show it so thats why they show his gangrene feet towards the end as an indicator of why and/or how he died and of course the entire group helping him reach the summit is them always helping each other and being equal and working more like a close knit family more than just your average typical rock group.

I love this song and it hits me hard, they reflect that each member of the band is important, if one was missing it would not be Rammstein.

This has been their regular big ballad when performing live since the song came out. It got dropped for the current tour though. Their first ballad, Seemann, is excellent. Their strongest songs musically and lyrically are probably ballads

That song brings me to tears every single time. The riff at the chorus combined with Till's vocals are just so emotional, powerful yet giving the sense of helplessness. Absolutely incredible.

I repeat this comment: they already said that they composed this song when after many disputes between them and going to group psychological therapy to fix their differences, they decided to continue, all or none was their resolution, Richard Kruspe, who created and joined the band, mentioned that after the success, everything began to get out of control, drugs, women and exes, so he had to become more dominant and controlling over the rest, which caused many problems, the song talks about how much they loved and needed the rest of the band but at the same time they hurt each other, , in the video you can see Richard in front pulling the rest and Til in the back being a heavy load🙂

This song is one of their masterpieces, true gem. I want it to be played at my funeral.

So happy you are getting around to this one. I suggested it back a few videos.. so glad I got to hear this one live on the made in Germany tour.

It's perhaps the most heart-rending of Rammstein. It seems that way for the live audiences - who could argue? It's such a beautiful song.

Nebel is also really beautiful. And i recommend Haifisch, the official video of Mein Teil (because Tills voice is quite different compared to the live version you watched imo) and the official lyric video of Puppe. His voice there is just incredible. Keep it up, really enjoy your reactions.

Would like see you check out their song Seemann. In particular the live version from 1996 at 100 Jahre so you can see their humble beginnings. 100 Jahre is a landmark Rammstein concert marking their 100th gig as a band, the show also had the now infamous accident which lead to Till training to be a pyrotechnician. Definitely read up the lyrics Use the video "Rammstein Seemann 4K 60fps 100 jahre Arena Berlin 1996"

I’ve been a huge fan of Rammstein for over a decade, never gotten tired of them. I had the pleasure of seeing them live back in 2016 and my voice was gone for hours afterwards due to singing along very loudly. Rammstein is and will always be my favourite band of all time!

I love these style songs from rammstein. You get to hear Till sing with so much emotion. Ine of the greatest rock bands ever.

Love, love your Rammstein reactions, brilliant analogy, can’t wait to see them next Thursday, thanks for bringing great videos, stay safe and happy.

I really like that you that you actually try to dissect these videos and understand them. So far your channel is the only ony i found that does that. Understanding lyrics and images is something i find fascinating in all its complexity and facets. Great work! 👍

I love this song. One of my favorites. Looking forward to seeing it with you.

the good thing about Rammstein is that everyone can have their own interpretation. I lost my mother last year, and now for me the "she" is my mother, the forest and the trees are life, age, and I arrived in the middle of it, where I saw her for the last time, and then night came and it covered everything on the edge of the forest, both her life and my vision that one day I will reach that limit or if I will give up sooner.... And it hurts me, it hurts. Without her I don't exist, but with her I was also alone, because I never fully opened up to her and she never stopped to listen to me, but she always did her best for her family and people... Without her it's much worse. Without her I count my time, I long to be someone, to find a purpose, to try to live even with the veil of the night covering my forest... With her time was not worth because she held me, she was afraid to let me go and live, I always wanted my family close by. But now that she's gone, time stands still at that moment and I could never move on.

OMG, you did it! I am so stoked to watch this video. I really hope you enjoyed this song.

This is the sing i used to prove my partner till can sing , and not only yell and speek German with a deep voice . Now she got quiet about Rammstein. Because his vocals are spot on. Regarding the lyrics, i relate way too much in so many different ways its hard to explain.... i always sing along as i mean it, because i do ....

Honestly, Rammstein has been around for me since about 2000 or so when I saw Engel on TV here in Sydney. But it’s you and people like you who’ve helped me find more about their catalogue and why I now have a guitar tuned down to Drop C permanently haha.

Ohne dich has been and will be my favourite song since childhood. Started with my Dad listening to Rammstein in the car. I obv never knew the lyrics when I was young, but as soon as I was able to I cherished this song even more.

I'll never forget listening to this song live with the woman who later became the mother of my kids and life companion. We hugged through the whole song in the middle of the audience. If there's a song in my funeral this will be it.

Thanks for doing this video! I always saw the video as Till needing to get to that mountaintop. To see that horizon. When he was laid up in the tent he had his eyes on the summit. They other guys knew he was dieing of gangrene so they made sure they got him up there. And he died looking out on the horizon, a final goal accomplished. Also, you spoke about attention to detail: the goggles Till wore is one of their oldest props/costumes. He wore them in their very first music video and it's made several appearances on stage, especially earlier in their career. This video did feel like a mini movie. As always, their production value is on point. I also have to say your empathy is beautiful. Thanks for sharing it with us. Take care and have a great day!

The song ist about the relationship between the band members of Rammstein and also can be seen as expressing mourning over the loss of a loved person. Rammstein wanted to break up one or the other time and that is why they had even therapy sessions. But they always decided to stay together. For Heitmann (film direktor of this video) , the emotional message in the video is very important; Ohne dich shows unity in the band. Richard said that the most important thing is to stick together, everything else is irrelevant.Therefore Rammstein is one of the few Bands that have managed to play in the same line up and with the same members for almost 30 years since they were founded. The funny thing is that Flake (Keyboarder) still denies that he is a member of Rammstein, because he actually never wanted to be part of Rammstein from the start because the music was too "simple" for him. Till and Richard always wanted to start solo careers. In addition, the Rammstein members constantly argued about every song, every video and every live show, how it could be done better. It actually almost came to a break up with the "Mother" video. Till shot the video alone without really involving the other band members. Rammstein not only had one group therapy with a psychologist over the years, but nevertheless they could never be without each other There were 5 or 6 ideas for this video. Some of the band members wanted to make a video at sea, others wanted to make it in the mountains. Richard wanted to make a video based on Hans Christian Andersen's "The Little Match Girl" because it was the only fairy tale that made him cry, but the idea was rejected.. According to Joern Heitmann (film director), this is the most emotionally engaging video he has ever made with the band. For the video, the band members grew beards, because in the mountains there is no time to shave. Flake was the only one to have an artificial one. During the making of, Till can be seen wearing a shirt which makes fun of Flake and his beard. The climbing scene was shot on one of the climbing walls next to a parking lot, and the band could go as high as they wanted to. The band was accompanied by an experienced climbing team who taught them how to correctly climb the wall. The video was shot at +20 degrees. The snow was artificial, and the snow storm was created with the help of machines. Emanuel Fialik's assistant expressed his concerns about whether any of the band members would get hurt while shooting a video in the middle of the tour. Heitmann claimed that no one would have been able to stop Till from playing the falling scene. The original idea was that Flake would have to carry Till together with Schneider at 3,400 m above sea level, which was physically impossible for him. Richard admits that everyone always fights for their own scene when shooting videos and everyone wants to be able to play a part, so it's hard to work with them on the set.

Rammstein - Du Riecht So Gut (98 version) Is another masterpiece

Love this one, reaches in! You are the best, Aileen!😍

Thank you for this reaction, this song really touches very deep - and makes you expose your emotions, what you just did innreally adorable way. Most of people had the "ohme Dich" moment in their life and this song brings those memories... It's realy amazing how versatile Rammstein are - just like you said: from laugh, through anxiety, fear, anger to pure sadness. Anyone might find something for him.

I loved the video and the reaction you've brought us, I'm really glad you're enjoying your journey of knowing the band. I would like to take advantage of this comment to thank you for all these videos, since I found your channel I try not to miss any of your videos especially the Rammstein ones, I have to say that seeing your reactions makes me feel as if I was listening to my favorite band with the sister that I never really had thank you very much for this. Greetings from Mexico.

Such a beautiful song, showing, how the band came back together after they were arguing. My absolute favorite song is Feuer&Wasser. It's rough, but I absolutely adore the chorus. That sing is quite unknown, but an absolute gem. ❤️ Kindest greatings from Hamburg! Keep up the awesome reactions!

This song is one of the craziest for me. it came out when i was 14-15 years old. During this time, I fell madly in love with a girl. We often spent time together but never became a couple. I've heard this song a lot when I've missed her, really a lot. School was over and we parted ways. at the age of 21 we reconnected and became a couple. I even wrote her a poem of my own. And she gave me a son after 4 years of relationship... Unfortunately, time has left its mark and the strong, self-confident girl from before was broken. we kept fighting about nothing. one day i came home from work and the woman i loved so much was lying on the bathroom floor with her arms cut open. when I saw that I realized that She lives as a person but her character I fell in love with is long dead. When I hear this song "Ohne Dich" I still experience the girl from before. I can smell her hair, hear her voice and see her smile before my eyes. I'm 31 today and I still cry every time I hear this song. Translated with google sorry for mistakes.

Don't you ever apologize for being emotional. Mankind has literally been in an emotional dark age for a thousand years now and they are just waking up from it. We need you, thank you for being here and being this stunningly emotional girl that you are. Okay with that being said, thank you for reacting to my favorite Rammstein song.

What I love about Rammstein is that they’re friends before everything. They’re friends that became World famous. You can truly see how much they appreciate each other. I mean Richard Kruspe has a daughter with Till Lindemann’s ex wife. She carries Till’s last name which is funny. The Emigrate song “Lets go” is basically a love song about Richard & Till’s friendship. It’s a duo between Richard and Till. You def should check it out! Emigrate is Richard’s side project. There is unfortunately no official video. Also Paul, Flake, and Schneider were members of the East German punk band “Feeling B” in the late 1980’s. So they’ve known each other even before the Berlin wall came down.

Love Rammstein, they have gotten me through some hard times. Lost my mom in February this year, the song just hits different.

I recommend watching the behind the scenes videos of the songs. They give a lot of background and details into the video and song that is in the video ( Mein Herz brennt is my first recommendation if I were to give one ). Oh and English subtitles too!

Dear Aileen, I've really enjoyed the whole of your Rammstein journey so far. Thank you so much for sharing this journey with me and us! But always I'm a little to late to reach you with my comments, suggestions or recommendations. BUT NOT TODAY ;)) !!! Please do me a favor, ... and react to one of my all time favorite Rammstein songs. It's an older one called "Seemann" (please do the Original Music Video). And I would also highly recommend the song... "Le Jardin Des Larmes" by ZAZ featuring Till Lindemann (OMV). Till collaborates with a great french female vocalist in this song. On top of that, they sing in French. Beautiful song with an extraordinary and heartbreaking twist in the video. Keep on your great work and phantastic content! Stay safe and a huge hug from Germany!!!

The first time I heard this song something in my heart I knew that it's about loss, and seeing this video for the first time and translated as well breaks my heart but thank you

react all rammstein songs :D

"Ohne Dich" is my alltime favourite by them.

I‘m always impressed how good you get the songs right from the spot

This song is amazing, I know you are going to love it

You are spot on their videos are amazing as hell

Rammstein don't come to the US often, seen them 3 times only once here but 9/17 I'll see them again...great group full of passion..till said after a point he would be done so yes for someone who never seen them this might be once and a lifetime

Do a Rammstein concert recap video! I'm so excited to see what you thought of seeing them in person.

This song (and video) is pretty emotional but when you had listen Nebel it's look so joyful. Thanks for you beautiful reaction, full love !

Originally it’s a song about drugs according to Till, but for me it’s a song about loosing a beloved human oder animal. A beautiful song about love and lost.

This is one of those really cool songs where you can take it so many ways and people with entirely different experiences from you can relate on an emotional level just like you but from totally different experiences. You can perceive it as toxic love to an addiction. A sad love story. A story of loss of a friend or family member. Not being able to accomplish something without those people who support you. etc etc And they just wrote it so well. It’s a beautiful song

So, I knowyou will see their show in September. Even I'm no hardcore-fan, I saw them last sunday. I wouldn't like to reveal too much, but to be honest: That's no show for Fans of clean and clear sounds. When the whole band plays, it's just a wall of brutal noise. And the base...well, it feels like being drunk in front of a broken, massive subwofer (and big as the Empire Statement Building). But it's worth every cent of it. Of cause, there is all the fire-stuff, but it's more than that. The lightshow is incredible, The whole performance of Till is realy great, and watching Flake doing his "Flake-thing" has nearly deserved to see two shows- one for the band, one for Flake. It is not only a concert - it's realy a show in the original meaning. . So - have fun. I had.

This song is so powerful and so sad. The instrumental work is brilliant.

When they were engraving something on the plate in the tent, his comrades already knew that he wouldn't make it back alive from this mountain since his injuries were too severe. When people die on a mountain these kinds of plates were left behind as a memorial to the person they lost there. When Till was looking outside the tent to the peak of the mountain, it can be seen as he still wanted to achieve that final goal, despite knowing the situation he was in. So at the peak, he could finally die after achieving this goal. Sometimes you need help from others to lift yourself up from the bottom to reach your goals. Really a nice ballad. :) Greetings from Germany :)

I've been living under a rock not knowing your videos before. You look like me when I listen to music and everything you react to is what I love. Take care ❤️

Really love your videos! A review of Rammstein's "Radio" would be awesome! I would also highly recommend the Making-Of-Video to Radio. Greetings from Germany :)

Reacting to Was Ich Liebe’s live performance (from Buckstabu channel) would be very good. The song is lyrically and musically very deep. I think you will certainly like it!

I really love seeing you react to Rammstein. Greetings from Germany

Thanks for the reaction, very emotional, I liked it a lot ❤

Ohne Dich is probably one of my favorite ballads. If you like their more subdued sound I recommend Los. Literally means Less/Lesser

This song live in 2019 was a beautiful experience because the whole crowd was singing along and everyone started their phone flashlights it looked like you were standing in an ocean of stars .

One of my favorites songs, not everything has to be crazy and madness hahah, I enjoy this kind of balads of Rammstein.

Till is such a great lyrical writer - as a native German speaker, it is fascinating how they can switch the meaning of an entire verse with just one word

Never apologize for being yourself ! Never ever

You mentioned that you will be seeing them later this year - You are in for a MASSIVE treat - one piece of advice make sure everything you're wearing is fireproof 🤣🤣🤣. I was at their concert in Coventry, UK last night and they are as good now as they were the 3 previous times that I saw them.

After "Ohne Dich" the next Rammstein song definetly has to be "Haifisch (Official Video)"! 😁

I just saw them in Chicago and the guy in front of me started crying hard and barley able to stand during this song. Same guy was singing and head banging to everything else. I felt bad for him.

Best song ever!❤️

First time here and I see you've reacted to Alot of Rammstein, gonna have to do some binge watching. Loved your reaction Senpai. 🤣😎 Subbed. Same since the day I heard them they've been one of my all time favourite bands, was so lucky to see them live at download Festival, you're in for a show.

Back at it again with the nice blouse..spot on reaction great song

one of the best Rammstein songs and video!

This is definitely my favorite song of rammstein. It's sooo emotional and Till's voice is just so perfect. I love it 💔❤️‍🔥

So far, the best music reaction channel on RU-vid. I just recently discovered your videos and I'm already a huge fan. :) I hope you get the chance to visit Germany someday, and if you do, please let your fan community know! We’d be thrilled to meet you and chat about music and life. By then, your German will probably be really good too.

Im loving your journey of Rammstein. Greets from Germany ❤️🇩🇪

Big bear hug from Norway

You Totally understand Rammstein ! You are now one of my favourite youtuber

My whole body contracts every time I listen to this music, so powerful.

Love ur reactions....let them keep coming!

Thank you for your reaction to this song. This is one of my favourites together with `Dalai Lama`, `Rosenrot` and `Spring`. These are not their most popular songs but a kind of hidden gems. I hope you can react to them in the future. Many greetings from Belgium.

In the video, Til doesn't close his eyes and "put his head off" because he realizes "everything is going to be OK." His bandmates carry him up the mountain so that, having achieved the goal of reaching the top where his immortal soul can see Forever, he can die there. The night before the final ascent, it is obvious that Til is mortally injured from the fall. All about he rock pile outside are what appear to be metal pie plates left by previous climbers to commemorate the accomplishment, and memorialize those, like Til, who died trying. That explains the tapping you hear as the Rammstein climbing party faces the stark choice. Take the dying Til back to civilization, leave him behind at the base camp--perhaps to die alone--while they make the final ascent, or make the supreme effort to carry him to the top of the mountain. The cross at the top is a nice touch.

I love this song, it's one of the most beautiful songs and videos for me from Rammstein. It always makes me sad, but at the same time it reminds me of the people in my life I don't want to miss and it gives me strength and hope for the future when I feel alone. Thank you very much for your touching reaction to this video, thank you very much. I hope and wish you and the Rammstein army only the best and stay the way you are.

The fact alone they visulalized an emotion as climbing a mountain and his friends trying to help him over this mountain is art. We all know heartbreak. And we know people that experience it. We know what it is like to either being unable to accept help or being on the other side when we want to help someone out of his emotional misery and they're just unable to let us. To me this is what this video depicts masterfully.

I think you should definitely check out 'Spring' from Rammstein. It has a really nice story telling. Almost like a movie in 4 minutes and put into music

Great reaction you have a new fan grüsse aus deutschland

When the band were touring with Apocalyptica, they would join Rammstein onstage to play live cello for this track. It'd be really awesome if you could find a video of one of those performances for a future reaction.

Love this song, it's very reminiscent of the "Kunstlied" of 19th century Romanticism. The lyrics could also refer to a person's struggle with addiction imo. Can't live with it, can't live without it...

Feel yourself hugged- you make me cry aswell 🥲

Hi Aileen , I´m from Germany und must say that Im very impressed of yout that `can you understand the lyrics of this song . You point exactly what will Till here say. And that in German . great feeling. I like you ❤

Beautifull song 😢

Hey wonderful Aileen 🙂👋 In my opinion, you said and explained everything perfectly again. You also mentioned a couple of things that I haven´t thought about before and that are really interesting to me 🤔 Also ... never apologize for your emotions. I think it´s awesome that you´re a caring and emotional person 👍🎉 PS: I was able to see Rammstein live last Sunday here in Germany and it was super amazing. Definitely a once in a lifetime type of concert 😎🤘

It's so great you are reacting to this band. They are my all time favorite band. Their music helped me through many difficult times in my childhood as i have been bullied and spend a long time being very depressed. Everytime they give a concert in Holland (where i live) i buy tickets and go out to see them.

I just came across your channel. You are so awesome!!! I really like your reactions!!! 👍👍

I love your reactions. Greetings from Germany :-)

This Song speaks about anybody in our lives that we have loved and lost we have to continue up to the top of Mountain of life

Is this a ballad to the members of Rammstein? They all have side projects, and have been together since 1995. They come together to make music. Dark, Strange, Music.

beautiful ❤️

i was listening to this song alot back when my Grandfather died .... i have so many memorys, that are connected to this song. I love how you reacted to this song. It means alot to me, that other people feel emotional to this song aswell.

oh yes, i can´t wait! Please also do Seemann

I can feel your emotions in this reaction. Incredible video, amazing song. I'm so happy you've reacted to this. I can't wait for more Rammstein! There's a detail regarding Till's goggles, as he wears these same goggles in the original Du Riechst So Gut video. Also, the candle flame extinguishing at the end to signify that Till reached the summit and passed away, but reached his destination through perseverance and support from his (yes bandmates, but I think in this case) family. You can try to go through this life alone, but the struggles are nearly impossible to overcome if you don't have love and support from others. In this video, even though Till fell behind, they waited for him, tried to save him from falling, andwhen they couldn't, went back for him, lifted him up and carried him the rest of the way. Check this song off the list I sent you! Can't wait for more, and watch Haifisch after pretty much all the other videos!

Das ist der Kern der Männlichkeit. Danke für deine Weibliche Reaktion. Sehr menschlich , ehrlich , wahr ❤

3:07 You are predicting the future, Mi'Lady. This is one of the greatest Music Videos I've ever watched, and I've been collecting them for pretty much forty years. Also, this is a cool variation. I'm sure I looked up the lyrics at least once over the years but I've never seen it with subtitles. Very Cool. 👍✌❤

i recently got more into Rammstein as im studying german they're really interesting because of the wide range of themes they use in their songs, one is a promo for Klitschko(UA politician), one is a love/hate song for Russia, one is antiwar/america, one is a metal love song their lyrics arent that hard to learn but they still use enough artistic creativity so theres hidden meanings behind them instead of 1:1 german english

great Song! great reaction ❤

He was tapping in a message for the man who fell. They knew he would die before making it down. Oftentimes climbers will mark fallen comrades with a marker. It's such a deep scene. Knowing he was going to die, they decided to make a trek to to top, so he could have one last look. Tapping out someone's grave marker while he is dying is a difficult situation. Watching someone die knowing you cannot help (the climber would certainly die before he could get medical attention....if the climb down didn't) is very tragic.

Frühling in Paris, you must hear this!!
