Tocotronic - Electric Guitar 

Mein Beileid. Das sind sehr ehrliche Zeilen. Ich hoffe, dass es mittlerweile ein Stück weit leichter geworden ist, dies schöne Lied zu hören.

Es tut mir leid...

Ditto wir werd n sonne Momente nie vergessen 😢

Klasse :-D

Schöne Worte.

In einem Wort: Jugend (beste Zeit ever)

@@t3l3fragged findest du ? Ich find es schön Alt zu werden und mich dabei selber zu beobachten wie sich meine Meinung und Haltung mit der Zeit geändert hat.

@@TheSibler Ich werde auch alt, aber meine Meinung hat sich in den meisten Sachen nicht geändert...seit fast 30 Jahren. Und ich bin weit über 30 Jahre alt :)

mach ich sehr gerne

Saurer Apfel hier ;)

Günstig, süffig und effektiv😆, damals

....an der Bushaltestelle war in unserm Dorf in Niederösterreich der Treffpunkt(ich1977)...die Zeiten kommen nimma❤

Frage als jemand, der jetzt erst auf die Band richtig gestoßen ist: Wann waren sie es deiner Meinung nach nicht?

Ich bin da etwas anderer Meinung, obwohl ich deinen Standpunkt durchaus nachvollziehen kann. Vom Songwriting her ist das aber immer noch auf ziemlich hohem Niveau. Schwierig wird es für mich erst wenn das in so peinliche Wahlpropaganda a la Peter Fox abtriften würde, aber da sind die Jungs zum Glück noch weit von entfernt.

Ich liebe Tocotronic schon seit Digital ist besser. Politisch teile ich ihre Einstellungen aber nicht mal im Ansatz. Wäre aber für mich aber auch kein Grund, sie so zu bezeichnen. ;-)

It's about growing up and about his relationship with the guitar, which is like a close friend. He's addressing the guitar in the song.

It's about teenage years/memories, the tension of growing up, excitement, insecurities, a sense of wonder, bewilderment, adventure, wanting to belong and to break out at thé same time, knowing only a small portion of the world but looking forward to a widening future. The electric guitar is both a soundtrack to youth and a metaphor for that (sometimes sexy and sometimes scary) buzz of youthful energy. It's all about that feel.

Despite the fact, that your comment is like six month old - the song has coming of age lyrics. I tried to translate it with deepl and changed some parts: In my room Below the garden I'm feeling safe I can tell you I'm strapping you in Take you in my hands And send the sound Between the walls I'm taking off my sweater in front of the mirror Teenage riot in a townhouse I'm giving you everything and everything is true Electric Guitar I'm telling you everything and everything is true Electric Guitar Electric Guitar Early morning in the garage The can of hairspray in my pocket On the bike to the post office Passing posters I send letters And I can't wait I squeeze pimples in front of the mirror Manic depression at the parents' house I'm giving you everything and everything is true Electric guitar I'm telling you everything and everything is true Electric Guitar Down the stairs Out of the back door I can't stand it anymore in here A daydream in the rain And apple schnapps At the bus stop We loiter We find ourselves As anarchists As blurred images On wanted lists Exploring ourselves And want to know it I want to know it now You take off my sweater in front of the mirror Sex and drugs in the townhouse I'm giving you everything my rock'n'roll star Electric guitar You're taking off my sweater in front of the mirror Manic depression in the parents' house I'm giving you everything and everything is true Electric Guitar I'm telling you everything and everything is true Electric Guitar Electric Guitar Electric Guitar Electric Guitar Electric Guitar Electric Guitar

@@CorporalDirt man! Thank you so much! Vielen Dank für actually taking efforts of translating it...that's so kind of you!

@@elfsieben1450 the way you analysed it gives it fourth dimension...!

Yes

Alles klar, Joachim. Ab, in die Ecke stellen und schämen für deinen geordneten Lebenswandel.

Googles doch selber du Pavian

@@galacticboost3156 I'm aware I can use google translate, but you should know the translation is not very accurate. Also, I searched for any website that had translated the lyrics and didn't find it.

​@@isadora4237 that is the best i could translate it. some lines maybe sound strange but some lines are not how everyone usualy talks so... in my room under the garden i feel safe i can tell you (or reveal you) i buckle you around me (if this makes sense) dont know :D take you in my arms and send you the sound between the walls i take off my pullover infront of the mirror teenage riot in the townhouse i give you all and everything is true electric guitar i tell you everything and everything is true electric guitar early in the morning into the garage the can of hairspray in my pocket on a bike to the postoffice past some posters i send you letters and cannot wait i squeeze pimples infront of the mirror manic depression in my family home i give you all and everything is true electric guitar i tell you everything and everything is true electric guitar down the steps, out the backdoor i can stand all of this anymore a daydream in the rain and apple liqueur a the busstop we hang around we invent ourselves to anarchists to blurred images on wanted lists explore ourselves and want to know i want to know it now you take off my pullover infront of the mirror sex and drugs in the family home i give you all, my rock n roll star electric guitar you take off my pullover infront of the mirror manic depression in my family home i give you all and everything is true electric guitar i tell you everything and everything is true

@@galacticboost3156 Thank you! I appreciate it. I'm trying to learn german and thought some music could help

@@isadora4237 i learned english with talkshows "conan, jay leno etc." or comedys. Alot easier than some of those lyrics :D
