On the surface he does indeed sing about smokin weed and staying at home watching netflix, yes. but if you really listen to the music and the lyrics you realize: It's a song about depression. This reflects in the lyrics, it symbolizes the way you lie to yourself in a depressive period, how you reason to yourself, how you pity yourself even. The music on the other hand does both, it symbolizes what the lyrics are talking about with the melancholy present while also expressing the restlessness you often feel in such a period, in this case with the dancy rhythm section and by combining these different elements tries to express what a depressive period feels like

I can’t thank you enough for this insight. I think the beauty of this band is their ability to break through a language barrier with them. I’m not averted even though I don’t understand what he’s saying and I’m still moved. I love your lyrical insight here, truly!

Hallo Walter, ich komme aus Deutschland und freue mich dass Hening einen neuen Fan hat. Du kommentierst gut und ich finde es sehr gefühlvoll. Es ist amüsant deinen ahhh, auch und ohhs ... zuzusehen. Mach weiter so. Ich bin jetzt ein Fan von dir 😊

as a german speaker with depression i can only second the original comment. He does not mention it explicitly but it is everywhere in the subtext and the overall feel

The trumpet solo guy (his name is Ferdinand Schwarz) already featured in the Tom's Diner cover, but the few tones we heard from him there really don't do him justice. He is actually considered one of Germany's finest young jazz trumpet players, and he frequently appears with AMK as a guest artist. Love your reactions! Greetings from Munich, Germany

His solo in Bitte Bleib is formidable! Phenomenal musician!

I'm well into learning Spanish but my next language is going to be German. I HAVE to listen to their songs and truly understand the words. I've looked up translated lyrics and they sound incredible

Totally relate to you, I started learning German a couple years ago literally only to listen to this band but since learning I've discovered so many other German bands I love (while AMK still totally takes the cake)

This arrangement with the strings and horns just adds wonderful layers to an already great song. For me it's the winner!

Lyrics (original): Ich weiß, ich hab gesagt, ich bin heute am Start Aber ich komm nicht klar und da Wo ich schon tausendmal war Will ich heute nicht hin Weil da immer die gleichen Leute sind Und weil ich müde bin Müde, müde, müde bin Und weil ich müde bin Weil ich müde, müde, müde bin Ich glaub, ich geh heut nicht mehr tanzen Ich glaub, ich geh heut nicht mehr raus Ich glaub, ich rauche heute Pflanzen Und bleib allein Zuhaus Ich glaub, ich geh heut nicht mehr tanzen Ich glaub, ich geh heut nicht mehr raus Ich glaub, ich rauche heute Pflanzen Und bleib allein Zuhaus Ich bin noch immer so müde von gestern Und suche bei Netflix nach einem Western Die Jungs mit Revolvern helfen vergessen Dass man trinkt um zu vergessen Mein Magen sagt, ich müsste was essen Ernähr mich seit Wochen nur noch von Resten Vietnamesisch neben dem Bett Ich hab nie was im Kühlschrank Ich warte noch immer darauf, dass ich wieder fühlen kann Ich bin noch immer so müde von gestern Ich warte noch immer darauf, dass ich wieder fühlen kann Ich suche bei Netflix nach einem Western Ich glaub, ich geh heut nicht mehr tanzen Ich glaub, ich geh heut nicht mehr raus Ich glaub, ich rauche heute Pflanzen Und bleib allein Zuhaus Ich glaub, ich geh heut nicht mehr tanzen Ich glaub, ich geh heut nicht mehr raus Ich glaub, ich rauche heute Pflanzen Und bleib allein Zuhaus Ich geh heut nicht mehr tanzen Vietnamesisch neben dem Bett Ich hab nie was im Kühlschrank Vietnamesisch neben dem Bett Ich hab nie was im Kühlschrank Ernähr mich seit Wochen nur noch von Resten Vietnamesisch Ernähr mich seit Wochen nur noch von Resten Ich glaub, ich geh heut nicht mehr tanzen Ich glaub, ich geh heut nicht mehr raus Ich glaub, ich rauche heute Pflanzen Und bleib allein Zuhaus Quelle: Musixmatch Songwriter: Andreas Krueger / Christopher Annen / Severin Kantereit / Henning Gemke / Malte Huck / Till Van Buelow Translation by 'deepl': I know I said I'd be at the start today But I can't make it and there Where I've been a thousand times I don't want to go today Cause it's always the same people And I'm tired Tired, tired, tired And because I'm tired Cause I'm tired, tired, tired I don't think I'll go dancing tonight I don't think I'll go out today I think I'll smoke plants today And stay home alone I don't think I'll go dancing today I don't think I'll go out tonight I think I'll smoke plants today And stay home alone I'm still so tired from yesterday And I'm looking for a western on Netflix The guys with guns help you forget That you drink to forget My stomach says I need to eat I've been eating leftovers for weeks Vietnamese by the bed I never have anything in the fridge I'm still waiting to feel again I am still so tired from yesterday I'm still waiting to feel again I'm looking for a western on Netflix I don't think I'll go dancing anymore today I think I won't go out today I think I'll smoke plants today And stay home alone I don't think I'll go dancing today I don't think I'll go out tonight I think I'll smoke plants today And I'll stay home alone I won't go dancing anymore Vietnamese by the bed I never have anything in the fridge Vietnamese by the bed I never have anything in the fridge For weeks I only eat leftovers Vietnamese I've been eating leftovers for weeks I don't think I'll go dancing today I don't think I'll go out today I think I'll smoke plants today And stay home alone Source: Musixmatch Songwriters: Andreas Krueger / Christopher Annen / Severin Kantereit / Henning Gemke / Malte Huck / Till Van Buelow

Wow, if there's anyone you can see enjoying music, it's you. I've rarely seen someone so happy and rightly so. The music is good and you show better dance moves sitting down than I do in real life. Anyway, we're both having fun and that's important.Greetings from East-germany.

The layering in this version is soo awesome, but I can't choose. I just love everything they did. And luckely we don't need to choose 😉

I love the contrast on this with the strings. The Tom Waits esque voice talking about Netflix and burning the fern down n dirty with a fat baseline... Vs the classical sophistication. Love it. Both Bangers 🔥🔥✌️✌️❤️❤️

AMK is recording there music multiple times, I feel like „Proberaum Sessions“ are a love letter to their own favorite songs. When all their friends are here they all just jam out and it creates a richer version of that song. You have not reacted to AMK in such a long time, please continue and maybe give the Probenraum Sessions a thorough look, my favorite would be Ausgehen.

Absolutely!!! Not enough people know about Ausgehen the Proberaum session version. I live for that version!!!

Great Reaction... I fell for his deep voice the first time i heard it. It also amazes me that voice produced by such a young lean person.

One of my favourites by AMK is Sometimes I Like To Lie, defintely worth a watch solely for how Henning projects his voice.

My favorite version thanks for doing this😊

Here is my translation of the lyrics into english: …I know, I have said, today I´m takin part.. But I not find my way in and the thousand times places I´ve been Tonight I will not be in Always the same people span And tired I am Tired, tired, tired I am And tired I am… …Tonight is not the night for dancing Tonight is not the night for public in the dome Tonight I smoke my hone grown planting And stay alone at home Tonight is not the night for dancing Tonight is not the night for public in the dome Tonight I smoke my hone grown planting And stay alone at home …I´m still tired of the restings Looked on Netflix for a Western Guys with guns help to retest things That you drink to forget things …My stomach say I need some eating I feed myself for weeks with some reheating Take-awaybox next the sofa And nothing in the fridge sofar …Im still waiting to feel again I still tired of my resting Im still waiting to feel again Looked on Netflix for a Western …Tonight is not the night for dancing Tonight is not the night for public in the dome Tonight I smoke my hone grown planting And stay alone at home …Tonight is not the night for dancing Tonight is not the night for public in the dome Tonight I smoke my hone grown planting And stay alone at home …Tonight is not the night for dancing Take-away box next the bed nothing in the fridge sofar Take-away box next the bed nothing in the fridge sofar Feed myself for weeks with some reheating Vietnamese is the best in Feed myself for weeks with some reheating …Tonight is not the night for dancing Tonight is not the night for public in the dome Tonight I smoke my hone grown planting And stay alone at home

Good Reactions sometime really help me through the Day (someone thousands of miles feeling alike just in that particular matter of music) Thx , this gets in my „good“-Folder 👍👊

I agree with you about the "street" or "skins" version for the reasons that you mentioned. And I love "Tom's Diner" and "Can't Get You Out Of My Head" videos because of the raw sexiness of Henning's performance. I just thought that you might enjoy seeing this for the way it highlights his voice!'

But I also think that this grows on you the more times you hear it!

You might want to increase you mic volume for us old fogies on our crappy old phones. Thanx from NOLA!

You are right about the text. He doesn't speak of the cause, but he has been in crisis for weeks and need some more time off, smoking weeds by himself, watching westerns on Netflix. At the beginning he admits, he said he would make a new start today, ... but no, he is still tired from yesterday 😊. So, he won't go dancing tonight anymore - that is the title of the song. The more he gives himself into this idea, the happier the song sounds.

This is great, but I'm gonna have to say I prefer the other version. This feels like something my parents used to listen to (and I'm 58). 😅 Or a dancing with the stars vibe. 😅

That is a very difficult question. I like the version without shirt, because he is really sexy. And the music is much purer. But I like the version with shirt, because he sings with much more intensity. And the trumpet solo at the end is magnificent.

I want to see Henning age and get Leonard Cohenish voice when he gets older aaarrrrrghhh

Good Reaktion!:) Check Up Kummer - der Rest meines Lebens live with Henning May :)

It's not necessarily better, just a matter of taste, I don't care much for all the strings and such orchestral shebang.
