This one is actually about the ol' New World Order plan of the financial elite. It's talking about the day after tomorrow arrives once WW3 is commenced while they hide inside the radio active castles which are likely inside the mountains of Switzerland. What is going down in the 2020's is going to a very old plan born out of old Feudalistic Europe. So much for democracy, human rights, and the environment of Earth. They picked a most unusual castrati to voice this one about 40 years ago.
@@TUBESPECIFIC1 Erm. No. Just no. The text was written under the impression of the cold war maybe becoming hot. And that's quite obvious when he sings about mutants and blowing civilization away... who would actually "plan" this? Truth is, nobody wanted that, neither the Russians nor the Europeans or US-Americans.
@@Rauschgenerator That's what they mostly said about JFK's famous speech years ago before he was assassinated. Yes, its' about the New World Order and the Federal Reserve cabal. Cold war was only a racket strategy within the great big ol' plan. America didn't save jack shit...
It’s an amazing thing that happens as a performer. I had to play once with a fever of 102°, body aches, cough... the whole nine. Once I got on stage and the adrenaline kicked in I felt great! I didn’t feel sick at all until about 20 minutes after we were finished playing. Then CRASH! Like I said it’s an amazing thing. And Klaus is a diamond in the rough. One of those very rare performers that only come along once in a great while.
I asked my husband if I had ever told him about Klaus Nomi and he said no. I started showing him Klaus's performances, one after the other. He fell asleep two hours ago and I am still watching this fantastic artist and am mesmerized by his sheer talent. His voice rings like a bell. Pure joy listening to him.
Mine introduced him to me, now I want to name my future kid Klaus. My husband doesn't like this idea, he thinks the kid will be bullied in school for having a weird name🤣🤣🤣
Klaus Nomi is the essence of 500 years of musical development. He bridges the gap from Baroque to New Wave and creates a sound that strikes more into the future than the past. You hear him and see him and you can't believe that he really exists!
@martinbay True, he would develop differently was he Spanish or Turk. I'm not saying Spains or Turks have no culture, I'm saying it's different. What a pity angloamerican (anglojudeoamerican) oligarchy had to destroy German culture - trash it in peaces, covering their crime with a slander - for one reason only: to keep their Nr 1 position on our planet. War Lords killed Klaus's nation and today they're still destroying whatever is left of it.
Even when he was sick he managed to sing so well. I don't think anyone can transition between notes so quickly and without struggling. It's very, extremely impressive. RIP Klaus Nomi, not just an incredibly talented singer but a performer and an artist...
Well said. I was 14 when he died on August 6th 1983 and been missing his greatness and genius since. A terrible loss under awful circonstances...no recognition, just stigmatisation because of Aids
Really though?? His voice clashes with the songwriting. You can clearly see that Klaus didn't write the music or lyrics of anything he sang. The mixture of his voice with that music was jarring, neither element on its own is notable but the bizarre product of the two mixing together was the only thing that made the music intriguing. There are MANY singers that have just as much range, and far better control of it to boot.
Klaus was, of course, a vocalist of singular ability, but his band deserves a lot of appreciation as well. In every live recording I have seen his band is absolutely spot on. Wonderful performances all around. It would have been interesting to see what Klaus would have created had he lived longer.
My thoughts exactly! Klaus and his band could seamlessly blend multiple genre's into insanely catchy songs. It would have been amazing to see what they could have done with the influences of 90's boy/girls groups, industrial, neoclassical and rock scenes alone.
This song helps me to persevere through life. "Hold on, hold on, tomorrow we'll be there," and "After the fall, we'll be born again" give me hope. After my challenges, I will be a different and better person. Just hold on for tomorrow. Thank you, Klaus Nomi.
I am 37 years old. Never heard of him before until recent!!! His look got me curious to learn about him... I usually don't like Opera!!! But his was unique and great!! It's sad that he left this world alone!!!! Rip Klaus nomi. You will always be the greatest!!!!
If it wasn't for my googling David Bowie's SNL appearance from 1979 a few weeks ago, I would not have heard of this great talent. When the results showed up as "David Bowie and Klaus Nomi" I had to find out who Klaus Nomi was. My only regret is that it took me more than 30 years to discover him. His mixture of opera and pop was brilliant, and his persona is sorta like a train wreck; it may make you uncomfortable (at first) - but you can't help but watch.
Yeah, I saw that SNL performance in, I guess it was about '80. I was about 6-7. I'd heard of Bowie, but when I saw Nomi (And Bowie wearing his trademark outfit) I started looking for that.
+InstantLeprosy I have just found a video on Bowie's The man who sold the world and found out that there was also somebody called Klaus Nomi. Searched on google and now I have one more favourite artist. Such a pity that he died so young.
I'm straight too. But if I had a time machine, I'd go back to 1982 and give him a hug.. So many of his friends were to afraid to visit him, let alone touch him. After 40 years, his death still saddens me. Klaus is one of the five people I want to meet in Heaven. God Bless Klaus Nomi. Hold on, hold on. Tomorrow, I'll be there. 💋
I never liked opera too much but Klaus works and performances combined with his old/futuristic shocking aesthetic is just amazing. Unfortunately you can feel in his eyes the contained despair of his last year of life due a disease until then not too much known by medicine destroying his body. Emotionally Sad.
KLaus Nomi ----- One of the very few instances where a performer can make falsetto sound completely natural - due of course to his phenomenal voice. Klaus LIVES forever in sound.
No one , but very few can sing with their voice that is real pure and God given, we enjoyed and continue today to listen and wish Klaus Nomi could have lived longer.
Just discovered this guy. Wow. What a vocal range. He would have been huge had he lived. And his songs are pretty good. They certainly grow on you. RIP
I'd never heard of Klaus Nomi till a year or two ago. I started listening to his music last fall. I was sold by the greatness of this man and his music!
Klaus jamas cerraba los ojos cuando cantaba siempre miraba a todos sus espectadores y no era porque los mirara a los ojos ...si no que los miraba directamente al alma...
Mmmm, maybe he would have won Dragula or something and accumulated a few hundred thousand Instagram followers. He certainly wouldn't have to go far to find a gig at a gay club. Not much more than that though. Mainstream music is, if anything, more massified now than it was then.
I was inspired by klaus nomi as a teenager, both musically and in the normal process of “being myself.” Needless to say, tossing about between pitch and vocal notes is a blessing I share. It would have been great to meet him.
Well, I told you about the total eclipse now But still it caught you unaware But I'm telling you hold on, hold on Tomorrow we'll be there And even though you went to church upon Sunday You thought you didn't even have a prayer But I'm telling you hold on, hold on Tomorrow we'll be there After the fall we'll be born, born, born again After it all blows away After the fall, after the fall After it all blows away We'll take a million years of civilization We're gonna give it the electric chair But I'm telling you hold on, hold on Tomorrow we'll be there I see a hundred million lonely mutants They are glowing in their dark despair But I'm telling you hold on, hold on Tomorrow we'll be there After the fall we'll be born, born, born again After it all blows away After the fall, after the fall After it all blows away Well, the freak shall inherit the earth now No matter how well done or rare But I'm telling you hold on, hold on Tomorrow we'll be there We'll build our radioactive castles Out in the radioactive air And I'm telling you hold on, hold on Tomorrow we'll be there After the fall we'll be born, born, born again After it all blows away After the fall, after the fall After it all blows away
Sad this genius left us too soon , imagine if he would haved lived at least five more years. His eccentric style of music & clothes would have evolved beyond our…
I love this man and I hate myself for haven't heard of him before. Too much rubbish music is thrown into us and precious gems like Klaus is left aside not having any publicity at all. :-( R I P
Très très très belle chanson que que je ne connaissais pas du tout et que je découvre. Il y a un mélange de tout, rock, funk, opéra... C'est franchement le top ! Quelle voix...
I have such respect for him for powering on - I don't get out of bed when I have a hangover and this poor sod is singing the house down with AIDS. I love him.
The lyrics and music are amazing. The graveness of his health is painfully evident in his face eyes the tremble of his hands and voice, oh my the voice. Sitting here with literally hundreds of tumors and and being 3 years out from my open heart I wonder how Klaus could stand on stage and sing this song. Pair this with "The Cold Song" and I am sent into a long internal debate about my being so obsolete and small. I can only hope that when the time comes to hide in death awhile I can use his courage as a source of courage. When that tine comes I hope to have "After The Fall", "The Cold Song" and Nick Cave's "The Weeping Song" Played as my ashes are secretly spread on the ground where the dearly missed Continental ounce stood (Now Turned into the valet entrance to a pompous hotel IHAP I forgot to mention Klaus's clothes, stage and band
Absolutely fan of this man since 1979 , aged 10...passionate about spécial talents, having a daddy listening to exceptional adult performers, I dare to tell you that your comment deserves to be published in a biography before the fall
One of his absolute best, and one of the best on-stage performances ever - he could only have gotten better if he was still around today. In this video, I keep imagining what it could have been like if the crowd was clapping to the beat from the start: epic!
Very good version of this song from late in Klaus' career. (You can tell it's late because he's wearing the ruffle around his neck to cover up his Karposi's Sarcoma lesions.) It's a shame that he didn't last longer.
A absolutely fantastic artist ahead of his time several musical genres rolled into one. A former baritone an operati genius from another dimension. Germany's favourite son 🇩🇪🇩🇪. RIP Klaus ❤️ ❤️ xcxc
Fabulous. Creativity at its best. Theatre and song combined to make for a spectacular artist. Now, we are subjected to the most boring and talentless people, guided by commercialism and the media.
I remembering seeing on a screen in San Diego Back in 1983. I think he may have already died from his AIDS infliction. He was such an amazing talent. He would have been one of the greatest.
@@josephperkins4080 I didn't. The tapes rot, I had to work like hell to salvage a lot of video before the tapes started shedding oxide. Even ten years ago the early tapes were rotting away,
After the fall, we'll be born again! Mr. Noni is now, and forever be a true music genius! Just gald i got to stumble across his music, thanks You tube, have never said that before.
All the others counter tenors who try to seem like hin are only a rediculous playground. He was one of a kind. Dido and Aeneas in one unsepperatable body.
such an amazing voice, the range and ability to land notes were quite impressive, and he also could vary the timbre and pitch with uncanny accuracy. he could range form loud to soft, high to low all in the same breath.
