@vars666 Cierto. Conocí esta banda a través de un programa humorístico llamado "Peter Capusotto y Sus Videos" e inmediatamente compré Tabula Rasa, porque además soy admirador del idioma alemán. Soy de la Argentina y venía escuchando mucho a Rammstein pero esta banda tiene un género musical mucho más interesante. Además, entrando en su trayectoria, veo que han habido muchas modificaciones desde su alineación inicial. No entiendo porqué no han hecho giras por Latinoamérica (o muy pocas, no sé) y deberé un día hacer un viaje hasta Berlín para conocerlos en vivo. Debe ser único.

I was introduced to Neubauten by some of my goth mates back in 1992. I liked them immediately, because I saw similarities between them and early Tangerine Dream, tho' when I said that out loud, the aforementioned goth mates gave me the filthiest looks! 30 years on, I stand by that statement even more than I did back then. If you listen to Tangerine Dream''s "Alpha Centauri" album from 1971, you MIGHT see what I'm getting at. You probably won't (the goth mates I mentioned didn't) but you might.

The song was written for a movie about German reunification, hence the name Sabrina, which was a character in the movie. And of course it's about Germany, or rather, the flag. How exactly to interpret it is up to everyone. I think it expresses the discomfort of the majority of Germans to feel a love for something like their own flag (or country) and at the same time to have a longing to be "normal" again and at least not to have to feel disgust anymore.

Minha música favorita deles, há um misto de melancolia, tristeza, vergonha e pena no conjunto da música e clipe. É uma musica que eu gosto pela franqueza rara de uma banda alemã para falar do que fica no pós guerra em que a Alemanha havia fabricado uma verdadeira indústria de morte e extermínio. Dizem que o oposto complementar do orgulho é a vergonha, não a honra, e é isso que encontramos aqui. A música de início mal parece uma música, mas um misto atmosférico de sons e uma marcha fúnebre cheia de anseios fracassados.

+Mme.Tenebrae I must say the music alone has this effect on me. In fact, I saw the video after repetively crying over this song (for its sheer potency, though, not for its bleakness) and I was definitely blown away. I love how EN can write such emotion-ful songs about "serious" topics (meaning, avoiding the easy exploitation of love, weltanschauung or hollywood feelings) and create pure poetry. This whole album is full of such examples, e.g. Silence is Sexy and Total Eclipse of the Sun, but also other songs like Blumen, The Garden, Perpetuum Mobile, Stella Maris (ok this is about love, but it really goes beyond)... Ok, I just understood I'm crazy about Einestuerzende Neubauten.

Tremendous song. Powerfull lyrcs. Been following EN since my teenagers years and, after almost 30 years, I' m still enloved with their music. Seele Brennt, from the Halber Mensch album, opened my eyes, way bac when I was 17, to a all new world of art, music and beauty.

Max Cady Hey, just wondering since you have a picture from the film as your profile pic. .... do you have The Night of the Hunter on here?... I'd appreciate if so...Can't find it :/

Scrolling through the comments, I've come across some interesting interpretations of the song. I'd like to add an idea: keep in mind that the colors he sings about are red-gold-black. Those are the colors of the german flag (it's a german band)! It could point to a bemoaning of the actual state of this country. "I wish this would be your color!" is a hint to a desire that the country should remain true to the principles these colors symbolize! 2:58 "It is a starless winternight's tale" is a clear reference to Heinrich Heines 'Deutschland. Ein wintermärchen.'! The ideals of red and gold aren't reached ("it's not that red!" and "it's not gold(en) at all!"). The only correspondence in a shallow and not symbolic way lies in "black" in the meaning of 'darkness'. The state we're in is pitiful..."it is that black...it is that black..."

In Welsh mythology, Sabrina was the Latin version of the name Hafren. Hafren was the bastard daughter of a Welsh king named Locrin and a German princess named Estridis. Locrin falls in love with Estridis after rescuing her from a group of Huns, but is in a diplomatic marriage with a Cornish princess named Gwendolyn. When the Cornish king dies, Locrin divorces Gwendolyn and marries Estridis - legitimizing Hafren. Gwendolyn returns home to Cornwall and raises an army. Wales and Cornwall go to war, Locrin is killed, and Gwendolyn becomes queen and has Estridis and Hafren drowned in a river. I don't know if this bit of mythology ties into the song, but it feels more than little coincidental that Hafren/Sabrina was half-German.

Even after a decade this song gives a lot of energy. This will be a forgotten master piece of our time.

Kind of reminds me of Massive Attack. The whole aesthetic, the low bass, the creepy undertones, the textural beauty with a dark mood, the string section, the percussion and even the vocals all scream Massive Attack, just more avant-garde

Where has this band been...my mind is offically blown

Hope to see them on tour in June.

La canción es tragedia, es angustia del porvenir, es deseo y en el video un moderno Minotauro espera en soledad frente a su propia imagen. Insatisfecho. A continuación la traducción de un comentario de Whispersilk Saint sobre el video/canción de Eistürzende Neubaten el comentario es acertado e inmejorable, solo agrego una aclaración al pie para quien no entienda lo del "cuadrado negro". IXX-2014 dice Whispersilk Saint: La canción es acerca de la identidad de la actual Alemania y cómo se ve a sí misma frente a lo que quiere ser. Utiliza los colores de la bandera para representar las cualidades a que aspira ("Me gustaría que este fuera su color"), o es nostálgica ("No es tan dorada como la memoria / O la edad del mismo nombre"), en contraste con la realidad de los hechos oscuros que han manchado su imagen ("Es tan negro como el cuadrado de Malevich* / El horno frío en el que mirar ..."). Es una canción bastante trágica, de verdad. Sabrina No es el rojo del sol poniente La mancha en las sábanas de mañana No es el rojo de lo que sangramos El rojo de cabernet-sauvignon Un mundo en ruinas por nada No es ese rojo No es ese rojo No es ese rojo No es tan dorada como famosa lluvia de Zeus* No es no, en absoluto, viene de arriba Está a la vista, pero no es robada No es que el oro No es tan dorada como la memoria O la edad del mismo nombre No es ese oro No es ese oro No es ese oro No es ese oro en absoluto Deseo que sería su color Me gustaría que este fuera su color Me gustaría que este fuera su color Su color, Deseo Es tan negro como el cuadrado de Malevich** El horno frío en el que miramos fijamente Un tono alto en una escala futuro Es un cuento de invierno una noche sin estrellas Te queda bien Es ese el negro Es ese el negro Es ese el negro Es ese el negro Me gustaría que este fuera su color Me gustaría que este fuera su color Me gustaría que este fuera su color ... Su color, quisiera... * Zeus sedujo a Danae (madre de Perseo) con una lluvia dorada. ** El suprematismo fue un movimiento artístico enfocado en formas geométricas fundamentales (en particular, el cuadrado y el círculo), que se formó en Rusia en 1915-1916. Surgió en Rusia paralela al Constructivismo (alrededor de 1915). Se inició con las ideas de Malévich, quien promovía la abstracción geométrica y el arte abstracto, en búsqueda de la supremacía de la nada y la representación del universo sin objetos. El Suprematismo rechazaba el arte convencional buscando la pura sensibilidad a través de la abstracción geométrica. Se desarrolló entre los años 1912 y 1923, siendo su primera manifestación la pintura de Malévich “Cuadrado negro sobre fondo blanco” de 1915. es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suprematismo

No, not only you. There's something about the sad lyrics and the soft melancholy of Blixa Bargeld's voice. Also, the story in the video.

Such a wonderful song and a gripping video!! I felt so affected and emotional watching this, so very dark. What a great actor / concept, love it. 🖤

Wow. Just wow. Music and video. Why didn't I know about this band before?

Ive lost count of how many times ive loved this song and video

Love the mood of the song and the clip is just awesome.

This reminds me a bit of the most tragic and painful film drama I've ever experienced (and probably one of the most tragic, painful, desperate and relentless fates a human can suffer): David Lynch's "Elephant Man", the story of Joseph (John) Merrick. IMDB says it's a US production, but as far as I know it's rather British. An ingenious and unique masterstroke and a paragon of humanity. (Plus that irresistibly illustrating empathic musical background: Samuel Barber's orchestrated Adagio from his string quartet op. 11, which gives the tragedy a disarming, almost ethereal shape of passion, yet auguring the sweetness of salvation.) Sometimes absurdity is an indirection to approach the truth. (And sometimes it only needs the right facial features to get entertained.) I wish the cornigerous one would disguise as a human instead of having a soliloquy with his reflection. The glass helps provide the insight, but it also prevents the merging: What you see is what you never get. So take your lipstick and try to prettify the other one, the red icon will always be between the two of you. - If this playlet grips you in whatever way, if the warm and subtle music enters your mind and soul, then there's no need to cleave your brain, let art speak to you and not explain. (By the way: Everyone is free to make sense of it, but the colour order is red - golden (yellow) - black. So if it turned out to be that prosaic and political I could frankly claim that it's rather Belgium, a country Heinrich Heine never graced with his presence. Furthermore it's true that there's are some nights, some skies and stars mentioned in Heine's "Wintermärchen" poem, however, a loose or a direct textual reference is not evident to me (which does not mean that it's not actually there). On the other hand the general connection is obvious: In 1996 one of the best and most prolific theatrical stages in Germany, the Schauspielhaus Düsseldorf in Heine's home city, performed Mr. Cash's extremely noisy theatre idea "Heinrich Heine - Von Tod an rückwärts liebeskrank"... Well, the affinity is given, however, I'm not sure about the corresponding quality aspect...) Without any doubt this video clip is a remarkable scenic effort, but I have my problems with the symbiosis of watching and listening, since the picture appears to me very dominant. So I experience this weighty piece of art in two different ways, respectively stressing what I see and what I hear, with the consequence that I can much more intensely relish this music unvisualised.

Wow wow I almost forgot how great this song is !

The fact that the title of the first song that I found of them is my name is really cool

The BEST!!!!!!!!!!! Genius! Blixa!!!!

Such a beautiful piece of music. Absolutely gorgeous

and germany's past with the present. notice the colors and the lyrics that follow. Wish I was that brilliant.

I've never felt more understood.

Great music, crazy about this band many years. Thankx.

Heftig...Per Zufall gefunden, lange her als ich das hörte!

As an avid listener, collector, and musician, I'm always incredibly disappointed in myself whenever I happen to come across something special like this, only to realize that it really shouldn't be new to me... Oh well, better late than never, I suppose.

great song! has alot of emotion behind it! can definitely see many directions you can interpret it

i absolutely love this song, so beautiful and eloquent, speaks so much while saying so little

I was so lucky to meet Blixa after a show, in Bologna, when i was 15. He s really like that...a cathartic person. He probably does n t even remember about me, but he still changed my life.
