This is the original song by Rammstein, which I've always loved. Bonus points for the creepy ass video. ๐Ÿ˜‚


And this is a cover of the song, by my FAVOURITE singer, Alex Terrible. His German pronunciation is pretty good for a Russian guy. ๐Ÿ˜› His vocals should be classified as a weapon of mass destruction. It never fails to move me....and I play it EVERY morning.๐Ÿ’€

Anybody who actually watches this entire video from beginning to end gets a poem created for them. And don't lie. I'll KNOW if you've watched it. ๐Ÿ˜ˆ


(English translation of "Sonne")

All wait for the light
You fear, do not be afraid
The sun shines out of my eyes
It will not go down tonight
And the world counts loudly to 10

One, here comes the sun
Two, here comes the sun
Three, it is the brightest of all stars
Four, here comes the sun

The sun shines out of my hands
It can burn, can blind you
If it breaks from the fist
it lays hot on the face
It will not go down tonight
And the world counts loudly to 10

One, here comes the sun
Two, here comes the sun
Three, it is the brightest of all stars
Four, here comes the sun
Five, here comes the sun
Six, here comes the sun
Seven, it is the brightest of all stars
Eight, here comes the sun

The sun shines out of my hands
It can burn, can blind you
If it breaks from the fist
it lays hot on the face
it lays painful on the chest
The balance gets lost
It lets you go hard to the ground
And the world counts loudly to ten

One, here comes the sun
Two, here comes the sun
Three, it is the brightest of all stars
Four, and will never fall from the sky
Five, here comes the sun
Six, here comes the sun
Seven, it is the brightest of all stars
Eight, here comes the sun

I liked the original way more, really nothing special about Alex's video, at least in my humble opinion.
 
Can agree that Alex Terrible voice is kinda spectacular... but I'm not a big fan.
I really prefer Rammstein. Their video is much cooler too. ๐Ÿ™‚

Wow! Both videos are pretty creepy. ๐Ÿ˜จ๐Ÿ˜ฑAnd they both have very good parts... I think I'd still go with the original one. And yes his pronunciation is good for a not native speaker. (Can you say that? Sorry in english I am not native speaker)

Are you German? Yay!! We need more Germans here! ๐Ÿ˜† Anyway, your English is just fine. Also, you get a poem written about...you. In the very near future. Like, within an hour. I'm eating lunch at the moment. ๐Ÿ˜œ

Yes I'm from Germany. Thanks I'm always not sure about my english. And also thank you I'm really looking forward to the poem. You don't have to hurry. (Guten Appetit I don't know what's that in english. Something like enjoy your meal?)

I was an au pair in Eppendorf when I was younger...hated the family, but at least I learned German. They kicked me out one night because the wife read my diary (!) and didn't like the things I said about her father, who was visiting. Can you believe that?

Anyway, German is my favourite language in the world! It took me about four months to become fluent, and I've been told I speak it WITHOUT an accent. Basically, I hung out in the Reeperbahn a lot and didn't speak English for weeks on end. Got drunk a lot, met super fun people. Then I went down to Munich where the accents really amused me. The men were shorter there (I'm tall) so I left within a few weeks. ๐Ÿ˜‚

Amber, can I get a poem, even if I didn't watch the entire video, because you love me ... or sumthn?
 
Liked the Sleeping Beauty mythology in the first one with the miners polishing and poisoning the apple then transporting her coffin to the top of the mountain where the falling apple breaks it. The second one had more of a death metal voice and was good but did not have the theatrical elements of the first. For a couple of years in high school, I was carrying French, English, German and Latin and never got much use of the latter two since I never went where they were spoken. The most commonly heard song by Rammstein here is "Du Bist" and that is another good one.

I preferred the Rammstein for both voice and video.

Why did she read your diary doesn't she know what privacy is? That's really rude.
Well my favourite language is english (I only know three: german, engish, spanish. In the order how well I can speak them. I'm not perfect in english, but I get along. I hope to get better soon. And spanish I just learn it at school I'm not very good at it.) I learned english mostly because I wanted to watch interviewes of the Buffy actors and behind the scenes and all that. So my english teacher should say thanks to Buffy because I'm not perfect but still by far the best in my class (ok I know that sounds a bit bigheaded sorry, but it's true... with my class not that I'm bigheaded) and that's all because of Buffy. I love the english language so much because it sounds so soft you know? But that's not the topic I'm sorry you must be bored by now just hearing about me and my english learning attempts and succsess (kind of). Ok I'll stop sorry.

Learning English to be able to understand Buffy interviews is a great story, like Dawn learning Sumerian to understand old writings.
Oh. My. God. I am officially DEAD after finding a video of Alex I've never seen! It's brutal, it's wrong on SO many levels, it's funny, and it's pretty horrid. I swear to God, tears were coming from my eyes because HIS VOICE IS SO BRUTAL. He's a beast and after THIS video, I want to bear his child. That body, those tattoos, that voice...he can chain me up ANYTIME. ๐Ÿ˜‡

@Taake you really should watch this! ๐Ÿ˜‰
