I’m not normally a fan of Rammstein, the so-called ‘industrial metal‘ group from Germany. Nevertheless, I came across their song ‘Ohne Dich‘ recently, and was intrigued. It’s a love song, with much less doom, gloom and depression than many of their other pieces. I liked it, so I thought I’d share it with my readers this morning. (Lyrics – in the original German and translated into English – may be found here.)
Not your average Rammstein piece, that . . .
(Miss D. points out that one of the funnier aspects of YouTube is the use of Rammstein as background music to many videos. It’s incongruous to look at a clip of aircraft, or something like that, while Rammstein sings in the background – in a famous play on words – ‘You hate me‘! I guess people today don’t take the trouble to find out what the lyrics mean – they just listen to the sound.)
