I listened to it maybe two times, and it's been sitting in my CD folder ever since. I still love that song though. The production on it is killer and it just sounds HUGE!!!
By the way, Du Hast means You Have. So he's saying:
"You. You Have. You Have Me"
I found a really cool site on the net that offers a very unique interpretation of the lyrics. Check it out! |

|  | Yeah, I'm a guy! Moderator | | Join Date: Feb 2004 Location: Marana, AZ, USA | | Rammstein is one of my all time favorite bands. I have every album except for the newest one, Rosenrot.
If you want a killer site devoted to Rammstein, you need to check out http://herzeleid.com/. It is the best site out their, IMO. There is a link to the lyrics in English and German. BTW, the English lyrics are literal translations.
Some of my favorites are:
Engel (I love playing this song on bass. Simple but fun.)
Ohne dich
Ich Will (this song just rocks!)

| | Registered User | | Join Date: Mar 2006 Location: Brussels | | | i think reise reise is their best album, fav tracks in no particular order are dalai lama, morgenstern, links 2-3-4, sehnsucht.
i'm really impressed with their clever lyrics on some songs and i also like the 'pop' element in their music, cos genreally i'm not really a metal fan. |

Tracks I enjoy:
Sonne
Mein Teil
Reise Reise
Rammstein
Sehnsucht (I don't know why but this brings up memories of the old African Queen movie)

| | Registered User | | Join Date: Jun 2005 Location: Norway, Rogaland, Helleland | | | I enjoy Rammstein alot. I like the sort of "pumping" drive and momentum (sp?) they have in their songs. What genre are they anyway? Industrial metall?
Anyway, my fav songs are Halleluja, Stein um Stein, Mann gegen Mann, Feuer frei, Mein hertz brent... I like most of their music basicly.

They put on this front of "This is what German music sounds like" but all they did was take Ministry and put German vocals over top of it. Not my bag, and the goofy stage antics are a bit much for me.

Still, I like their riffs and their huge sound and analyzing their music actually taught me how modes work back then, they use a lot of Phrygian and even Locrian scales.  |

| | | | They have great vidios, too. I like "Let Me See You Stripped" vid, I believe with film from the great 1938 'Olympiad' movie made by Leni Riefenstahl, shot during the 1936 Olympic Games held in Nazi Germany. The vid of "Sonne" is strange, and yes, they do have a huge sound. I enjoy music that is powerful enough that it pulls you into it, and doesn't let you go until the song is over. |

My favs: Mann Gegen Mann, Der Meister, Seeman, Te Quiero Puta
My band actually does a cover of Du Hast (not too interesting unless you consider we have a female singer who sings like Tori Amos....much fun) | | Thread Tools | Search this Thread | | | |
