I heard this song first at their concert in Chicago in 2022. When ever i want to go back to that concert i listen to this song, the sights the sounds the smells all some back. What a wonderful experience that was. I hope that i get another chance to see them live. In the military it was a very rare opportunity that i was afforded to go. I hope its not the last time that i get to see them.
@@Seyelegna007be admittedly my german is not as good as id hoped for at the time. so some meaning was lost however i was able to understand some things here and there. If your goal is to shit on me because you think that im unaware of the meaning of this song, try again. I may not completely understand but i can tell when a song is written about a call to no longer be alone.
I went freaking nuts when till walked out in Chicago. Will never forget that. And how he spits his water out haha. Probably the most masculine presence you’ll ever see.
I decided not to use earplugs, and I do not regret it. Exposing my ears to such loud music two nights in a row messed me up, but oh man was it worth it. I could feel the music in every fiber of my being. It was like being sucked into an alternate dimension.
@@davepowell7168 I agree with you, apart from the fact that I think that an 'open fields' concert is somehow nicer. I attended two 'open areas' and one stadium concert in 2022. Yes, 3x. Lucky me. Twice surrounded by Germans for an extra layer of enthusiasm! All sensors in your body go into overdrive when the concert starts. And now, when listening to their songs in the car, I often think: "That sounded better when I saw and heard them play!"
@@davepowell7168 Experience...Well, I was lucky. I have no intention of repeating this in 2023. I go to one concert this year. In Groningen, the Netherlands, where I live. The venue is only 50km from the German border and there's no Rammstein concert in northern Germany in 2023. The Dutch concert is closer than going to Berlin for a lot of Northerners. Hence my idea is that it will be flooded with Germans. Last year, Till changed a few words when singing... The German part of the crowd went MAD!
Hopefully they keep going but if not, they have left us enough great music, poetry and visuals to last our lifetimes. You have great taste for a kid your age to have already discovered their awesomeness! :)
Did you go to the concert? And it's worth checking out the background behind every song. Not a single Rammstein song is 'just a nice tune with some words'! 'Armee...' harks back to the operas of German poet and writer Berthold Brecht. 'Haifisch' has also a relationship with Brecht and... believe it or not... Bobby Darin's 'Mack the Knife'. 'Seemann' (sadly not sung for ages) has to do with the actress Marlène Dietrich. 'Radio' tells about growing up in Eastern Germany under Russian dictatorship. And 'Mein Teil'... well that's interesting to figure out yourself.
Uhm no. Till Lindemann himself is like his father a great writer. Actually ever Rammstein Song is a pretty deep poem. "Mann Gegen Mann" for example is a pro homosexual song and deals with the treatment of homosexuality in society to that time. The Song Armee der Tristen is a song about an alt right party in Germany that distinguishes itself by being against everything that is in any way good for the country/society. That's why they are the "army of the sad people" = Armee der Tristen. There are many comparisons in the song to the Nazi era: "Gleichschritt" means Lockstep which is an allusion to the "Gleichschaltung" (Synchronization) of media an authorities in the Nazi era as an example. This band is the definition of lyrical depth.
@@technikhusky2054'lyrical depth'? Because they write plain lyrics about certain topics... Neue Deutsche Welle with a sexy bit of Provokation und Kontrrreoverrrse
