Rammstein are heard worldwide! Stark contrast to the DDR days

You have no idea what it was like here in the then divided Germany. In the GDR, East Germany, it was forbidden to listen to broadcasts from the "West", just like in the war years, and this songs title makes it clear. Radio, the window to the West, they could picture our life from those broadcasts, they wanted to be part of it, but they were walled in.

You need to watch the making of video too. Wait till you see and hear their song Zeit. It will blow your mind.

The 'Making Of' for this video is really good and explains the meaning of it really well.

10:25 Little fun fact: The radio brand names in the shop window bear the names of the band members Landers, Kruspe and Lorenz.

Fun fact: the speaker at the beginning is an english guy. The words are the original announcement of the first radio transmission in Germany.

AFAIK, he is Finnish. Definitely doesn't have a native English accent in the making-of video. Looks sort of Scandinavian to me.

Guys... Try "Angst", "Zeit" and "Zick Zack" (both Official Video)!

Rammstein is AMAZING!!!!!!!!!

great Black n white clip

I think they were permitted about an hour of radio from the western world. And it symbolizes how controlled they were in communist east Germany. They were actually on stage when the wall came down and weren't even aware of what was happening. They kind of symbolize the freedom that came from that because they made it in the whole world. An East German band, an unbelievable feat for where they are from. This song is very personal to them.

Rammstein - Mein Herz Brennt, pianoversie door Sven Helbig (officiële video)

Til Lindemann's outfit is from the golden 20s in Berlin. At the time, Berlin was the capital of variety shows, clubs and wild parties. extravagant life with music, sex, drugs and much more. That was only available in Berlin to the weimar repuplic time. check history out the golden 20s in berlin.

should not forget the child prostitution and other hideous things they did + all the pain and suffering that was ignored. everything hidden behind those "golden" times. then again if a loaf of bread costs you a truckload of money maybe just get high and hope you don't wake up to that shitshow tomorrow

Goood reaction Rammstein always with Subs! Thank you 😊

Very good Reaction to Radio! 👍 Respect how you seriously deal with the Song and try to work out the Message!

Thanks for another reaction guys. You should be pronouncing their name right by now 😂

5:00 The Meaning you thinking about would better fit to Rammstein - Angst - Manipulation by Media etc.

Please, please, please learn some history.

The song is about German history. 1. It was forbidden to listen to foreign radio stations or jazz music and other black music from the USA or England during the Nazi era in Germany. 2. In the same way, it was later forbidden to listen to west music and news in the GDR East Germany period. Which, of course, many people still did, even if it was punishable. history , history😊👍

A "poor fellow" is a slang term for a person who is pitiful or in a predicament. The term is often used to express pity or sympathy and can describe a person who is unhappy, clumsy, or who is simply unlucky. It is a rather informal form of expression and can vary slightly depending on the context. Generally, it refers to someone who is pitiable or deplorable in some way.

👍❤

You're quiet philosophical about that song, I like your thoughts... but... The main thing is that all Rammstein guys grew up in a very isolated east Germany, the Wall, the Iron curtain was there, nothing came through from the West... Only the "Radio"... People kind of escaped Russian rules when listening to their radio sets, imagining being in the West...❤

Translating "Stille heimlich fernes Weh" into "Secret silence, distant pain" is in this case quite literal translated and wrong. The verb "stillen" in this case means breast feeding, so it should rather be translated as "Satisfying wanderlust".

is this the Bullgod on your head

You are totally off track.

Not quite right in your analysis, but great effort nontheless. Next up...ZEIT!!!
