At the end of the video you can hear the last breath of a dying person. Rammstein is not only fire and pyro, fun, best live shows, best videos but also very deep lyrics. Not German speakers often underestimate Rammstein's poetry
Yes, but German speaker too. Till shortens the lyrics and not everyone can handle them. He also uses a language that is no longer in use. German Romanticism.
This is a masterpiece. Sadly it came out just after my "little sister" got diagnosed with a very aggressive cancer. I remember singing it to her & explaining it. She's now passed on & I can't hear this without sobbing cos I remember the last time I saw her. We were having lunch & it came on the playlist. She came over & hugged me. & all I could think was time, please stand still. But of course it doesn't. And it's now 10 weeks since she's gone.
My wife didn't like Rammstein in the past - she tolerated it and listen with me. But when I played "Zeit", she had the same reaction like Suesue - first listening to the lyrics, like she was frozen, then the tears came rolling down. And from this point in time she loves Rammstein. She now got the point of the deepness of this band because my wife is very thoughtful (I hope that is the correct English term...) as well. Again, love your reactions - because they are honest and not like a well studied a role play.
I normaly listen to classical music since I was 11yo. Have more than 4000 discs. Half year ago I discovered RAMMSTEIN. And I can't find words to descripe how and what I feel ... Beethoven said once: "Musik soll Feuer aus dem Manne schlagen!" And RAMMSTEIN does it‼️ Mein Herz brennt ... 💝🔥
First :-) I’m very excited to hear your opinion. One of the best videos of Rammstein in my opinion. Ever. This song hits so hard live ❤ It was and always will be the perfect moment. This is art. And truth. Life. I’ve lost my parents when I was 27. Lost my hubby three years ago. Makes me cry every time this video, this song. But on the other side it’s absolute perfection. We have to keep going. The end will surely come even if we try to hold it up. We can’t. Best band ever.
Das ging mir auf dem Konzert auch so ...habe meine Mutter verloren und beim Konzert so geheult ...es ist so ein schönes Lied...Rammstein sind und bleiben einfach die geilste Band ever...
Pure poetry brings the most intense fellings to our hearts. Thanks for letting yourselves get emotional on camera because it allows us to share your feels and that's true empathy.
Everything Rammstein does these days is on a whole other level! Pure art in everything. The video, the song, but especially the lyrics grab me every time anew.
Zeit always hits hard at first but this song can do way more. Just listen to it in a different mood and you will see it can bring you a smile or you get goosebumps. I never experienced anything like this before with a song.
@@SueSueandthewolfman no Problem: Das ist ein hartes (Stück) Brot. Literally meaning: its not so easy to chow (or to bite). ^^ We also say: that gives him/her something to bite (das gibt ihm/ihr zu kauen) meaning it makes him/her think long about something.
Thank you for this reaction video! Zeit definitely managed to touch your deepest feelings - and when we think about time and hace such visions shown, the first thought is going to those who passed away, to the things we miss, to the missed opportunities... I literally cried when I first saw Zeit. OK, not only on first time... Bless you for not hiding your emotions, take care and flow forward - just like time does ♥️
it´s Rammstein´s Masterpeace! I lost my Mother in October 21. She passed away suddenly in the Age of 55. She´s going to Bed and never wake up again. The third Verse (In the Video the Scene with the Farmer and his Daughter) is my Song for me for my Mom. God bless you and thank you for your Reaction. Greetings from Buxtehude, Germany
I cried when I saw this video too! Especially when the little girl was walking towards death in the end of the video. Ramstain always affecting people. 🙏 I'm so happy and proud to subscribe to you. You are doing such a great job. Love Morgan from Sweden 🇸🇪 🙏🥰💐
We are all just human beings and are born with a death sentence. It is just a part of life. I've really seen a lot of reactions to this song and it's always people with a certain life experience who are particularly touched by it. ❤Rammstein and 💚u guys.
From Klaus Neumann: Three creatures of destiny are named: their names are Urd (fate), Verdandi (that which is to come) and Skuld (guilt; that which should be). Their names are considered to be Norse equivalents of common medieval notions of time in the form of personifications of the past (Urd), present (Verdandi) and future (Skuld). The song deals with the theme of death and the transience of life. These motifs are expressed within the video through various images and metaphors. At the beginning, when the band members are drowning in the sea, Lindemann sings about the river of time, in which all people are trapped. This metaphor is visualized by the drowning in the video. In the war scene, where children first play war and later a battle actually takes place, the band sings about the inability to stop the future: "You can't summon the future, you don't tolerate a stay". In the same place where children used to play, they now die in war. The song expresses the wish that the beautiful moments as children should always last. The women who give birth to their children at the Sandstrom represent the cycle of time. In the same place where the dead daughter will later appear, children will also be born. The farmer and his daughter are separated in a moment that seemed perfect for them. The father tries to stop his daughter, but fails. Accordingly, he mourns the moment. The character in the video is clearly identifiable as Death by the black cloak. However, the video also equates it with the concept of time, as the passage of time means everyone has to die at some point.
The three creepy figures are called time keepers by Rammstein. Doubtless an referring to the Norns. According to the "Völuspa", Norns (Nornir) are three immortal female figures in pre-Christian, old Germanic/Nordic mythology who sit on the banks of the Urd River at the root of the world ash Yagdrasil and spin the threads of fate for gods and humans. (The three sinister figures in the Rammstein video undoubtedly provide an analogy) The names of the three Norns are: "Urd" (fate / that which has become) She is an old woman who constantly looks back over her shoulder at the time long past. "Verdandi" (Present / The Being) She has the form of a young woman who is always looking ahead. "Skuld" (Future/The Becoming) Unlike Urd and Verdandi, Skuld is an unpredictable force that has no love for gods or humans. She wears a veil and holds a book or scroll in each hand. Her gaze is always directed in the opposite direction of Urd's gaze. The Nornir spin the thread of Fate and life for every human being, and when that thread is severed, the human's life ends. Remnants of this mythology can still be found today in the Germanic/Nordic language area. There is a commonly used saying for a person who is in danger of death. "His life hangs by a thin thread only".
@@ralfmeyer9086 Lol I say Zick Zack for fun video, Lügen (Lying) ist masterpiece. Ich denke, es ist Rammsteins bestes Album, I still partial to Mutter.
The core of this masterpiece, imho, is the sentence: 'Ein jeder kennt... den perfekten Moment' (eveybody knows/realizes/recognizes, the perfect moment). Mostly, we know this perfect moment, to be in the past. Now, that we look back on it, we can see: it was perfect. We had our loved ones. We where all there. And that moment: was perfection. But then: it passed. And now, we are only left with a faint memory. Another way to look at it is as a reminder, that THIS is the perfect moment. Always. THIS moment: together, with your loved ones. IS the perfect moment. And we should open ourselves up for that moment. Soak it in. What you should see is 'parabol(a)' from Tool. The official version, or the fan based version with the lyrics, both will blow your minds.
Its ok to cry, when music affects you like this, theres no shame in shedding a few tears. I did too. I was only talking about my mom today she's been gone 18 years and theres is so much I want to tell her and so much she missed, leaving us at 60yrs old. We do carry on, and as long as we have love in our hearts im content. XX
I agree Lee, My mother has been gone to the other side since 1995 but we still talk about her so often and now we laugh and smile instead of crying so much. Bless you! Suesue
This video always gets me so emotional...when I First saw and heard this song I would cry through the entire song. Everytime I would watch someone react to this song I'd start crying....now I can manage to sometimes go through the whole song without crying , I might get teary eyed but not full on crying. The one part that still gets me and got me again is the ending with the man and his child. When he says when our time has come then it's time to go..that just tears me inside! 😭 It's so so beautiful and yet so so sad 😢 at the same time 💞
Thank you for this honest reaction! I absolutely loved it. "Zeit" is a masterpiece again. It gets me every single time. I would love if you did another video on it! Another great ballad by them is "Seemann". It's a very old song but I would recommend the live version 2016. A totally different singing by Till again :)
@@SueSueandthewolfman Yes, great idea! If you don't want to do the video again you can also just recap it while doing the live reaction? But I would LOVE to see the video again, too :)
63 here. Ages ago I had a teacher/guru that said we are blind to oncoming time, yet we're all plunging headlong into it. On this runaway train, our view is from the caboose looking back at the moments that have just happened -- only able to guess what's ahead. I think that's what the blindfolds were pointing-to. ••• Thanks! PEACE!!!
I actually discovered this video just a few days before i lost my beloved cat. So everytime i hear it, i have the hardest time of holding back my tears. Time, please stand still, im not ready yet. Its so amazingly powerfull. Since then i got a kitten, who i named Little Tillemann. See what i did there? 😻
We had to euthanise our cat of 11 years a few days ago( lung cancer), today we discovered a mother cat with 6 young ones in the woodshed.. Sadly they are wild, a loud hissing when you approach them. Often those cats are trapped and destroyed here (rural France) ,we will try and protect them but future looks grim. So no names yet but one is a beige siamese with a black moustache,he is in my mind already Adolf.
Ihr habt den Song richtig gefühlt und verstanden .Greetings Form Germany .sind right je a taff song, gut ne sings trutht the sad trutht but Time Never stops .Enjoy every das of your Live if you can.
Rammstein often holds up a mirror to us. This video is deliberately shot backwards. The sand symbolizes the hourglass and the earth to which we all once again become. The emotions that this video triggers in us . should make us aware that we should live every day in peace with each other and everyone should be aware of how precious life is.
My Oldest brother passed away at age of 43 ( 2018) I am now 43... I don't know how many times I have heard/watched this, and I still cant get all the way through it without tearing up..... If anyone can watch this without shedding a tear you are not human... or have never experienced love.
The blindfolds symbolize how helpless we are when it comes to time moving forward - we all can not see what even the next second has in store for us...
This is a masterpiece - the song as well as the video, I'm crying everytime I watch it, because the words and pictures grab you and force you to look on your own way of life ...
Hey, you both did again a such fantastic and emotinal reaction, this song is my favorit from Rammstein and it touched me so deep I know exactly how you feel. You both are so great and I love you !!!!!!
Such a beautiful song and amazing video. Such a piece of art. Thank you for your heartfelt reaction. The black robed creatures are "Zeitwächter" (time keepers), they symbolize past, present and future.
Zeitwächter, Yes, that's what Rammstein are calling them on their Zeit-Tshirts. But according to the direct Faust-references in it, they probably have had the the Parcae in mind... (Or the moirae, because of plato?) (Or the nornes, because Rammstein are germans?) ..Am sticking to the parcae... But that's all splitting hairs...the only thing that is important: fate is not destiny!
Hallo Freunde!Genießt das Leben.Dieser Song ist nicht für die Toten bestimmt.Unser Leben,so lange wir leben und dann werden wir weiter sehen.Greetings from Witzhelden (Germany)Cool reaction
dear lovely SueSue this song is tough enough to make everyone teary at least a little. Please don't feel bad, I've been there, too. I got almost dehydrated the first time I saw this piece of art, but that's the beauty of their work which makes it relatable to anyone, right? I appreciate your reactions, you two are so sweet and cool and I wish you the best time ❤
very, very nice reaction again. thanks for that. yes, it was very emotional but beautiful. i think that's exactly what the guys from rammstein wanted to achieve. touch you with a heavy subject. I can understand your emotion because I have already lost both parents and good friends. But life goes on and time doesn't stand still... Greetings from Germany
You both got my full respect, not only since today.. Your respect and way to take care about each other(saw it in some videos) is nice to see! Greetings from Germany
Hey U2! I admire your braveness so much, sharing such intimate and woundable moments and feelings with us here, triggered by THAT unique, outstanding peace of At in postmodern times, thats what im thinking when I watch "Zeit" official Video. Take care U2, big Hug from Hamburg, Germany
I had the same reaction. All I could think about the first time I saw the video was my Mother who passed away a couple of years ago. Thinking about all of the missed opportunities to spend more time with her, and thinking about all of the times we did spend together. It's such a beautiful song and video.
Sensative reaction, crying is human and offcourse allowed, the song, lyrics and video are so powerfull and if you lost some loved ones and love music you most probably will cry. Even when listening it to it more times. One of their best numbers IMHO and relating to all people………
I don't want to say much about the song... lyrics tells all...but,the emotions(in this case,yours or ours listening to that song when it came out) that can break your heart is sometimes the very one that heals it...Yes time...please stand still,in the most beautiful time of our lives...great reaction and feelings, Suesue&TheWolfmann🤘❤️😔
I really like watching you two you’re very nice and charming! May I suggest the song „ohne dich“ which is an amazing ballad there should be a version with subtitles.
One of the best (or the best?) Song, Lyrics and Video from Rammstein in my opinion. I love it. Suesue, i totally understand you.🌹 Again, what a wonderfull reaction. I forget, you hear Avantasia, feat Floor Jansen. What a wonderfull ballad . Tobi and Floor are amazing. Misplaced among the Angels. Only, my tip🤗🤘
Hey :-) I like your reactions. ;-) You have a true reaction and not a artifical. Thanks a lot for your heartbreaking story of your life! This song so strong, so heavy and so emotional. I will told you everything about the lyrics. I think its the story of the song. This song is about time "Zeit". You can say livetime "Lebenszeit". You have seen the big figure at the beginning. Thats the death. "Wir sterben weiter bis wir Leben" (We´re dying until we live) "Sterben, lebend in den Tod" (die, live unto death) "dem Ende treiben wir entgegen, keine Rast, nur vorwärts streben" (we are drifting towards the end, no rest, just striving forward) "am Ufer steht Unendlichkeit, gefangen so im Fluss der Zeit" (on the shore stands infinity, so caught in the flow of time) Now you see, its our time. We llive and we die. The Scene in the woods, you dosn´t see the meaning of the words you read! It starts with strong mens and ends with small babys! But, we hear: "Warmer Körper ist bald kalt" (Warm body is soon cold) "Zukunft kann man nicht beschwören" (You can't summon the future) "duldet keinen aufenthlat, erschaffen und zugleich zerstören" (does not tolerate any reverberating, creating and destroying at the same time) "Ich liege hier in deinen armen, ach könnt es doch für immer sein" (I'm lying here in your arms, oh it could be forever) "doch die Zeit kennt kein erbarmen, schon ist der Moment vorbei!" (but time knows no mercy, the moment is already over!) It means the great time as a child. A child can be everything. This moment is to short. No child has time in their life. Who can childs be a child? In the video you see the death took the babys back through the sand (in german we say "Staub" / dust) back to the beginning, the birth. The last scene, i think one of the hardest scenes, we see a couple sit in the nature and the woman knows its her time to go. But we hear: "Wenn unsere Zeit gekommen ist, dann ist es Zeit zu gehen" (When our time comes, it is time to go) "Aufhören wenns am schönsten ist, die Uhren bleiben stehen" (Stop when it's most beautiful, the clocks stop) "so perfekt ist der Moment, doch weiiter läuft die Zeit" (the moment is so perfect, but time goes on) "Augenblick, verweile doch, ich bin noch nicht bereit!" (Wait a minute, I'm not ready yet!) This means, in every life there is a moment that should never end. illness, old age or love. Every moment of our lifes are important for us. We don´t have enough time for everything we want to do. This lyrics have such a deep meaning, but it is hard to understand. "Zeit" Time is such an expensive commodity, of which little is available. This song means this. We don´t have enough but we need much more of them.
I really appreciate this reaction video of you guys. Very emotional and true, and this is how I felt when watching it, and even more when having a translation and understanding the lytics better. Wow... I love how Rammstein can bring so many emotions thru their videos, lyrics and music. This is incredibly emotional and well done
Loved the song and video. The Words are beautiful and emotional. I cried as well. Just shows how short life is. We should all enjoy each day as it was our last love from England 🇬🇧❤️
I feel with you, I think everyone wishes to stop time at a certain point, but its not possible, time goes on, time is "blind" does not look left or right it goes right on.
Aaaaaaah love you ❤️and you here still to react ramms+ein 😁and youre doing that great gotta feel ramms+ein💪listning it 25 years also good lindemann and emigrate till and richard solo projects👌👍
