- Rammstein's Zeit "new" song, from their new eponymous album. By now I have heard the whole album on Spotify. Great stuff.
OK, this is late, but it's not exactly my fault... I recorded and first uploaded this in early April. But it was immediately copyright blocked, no matter what I did. Some reactors seemed to have been able to appeal it, so I did it... but they (UMG) answered no. I decided to try uploading the same video again now in late July... and now it wasn't blocked. Go figure.

An absolute masterpiece by Rammstein. Visually and acoustically. Unfortunately, the translations don't do justice to Till's wonderful poetry, which is often understandably difficult to achieve.
Nevertheless, thank you very much for the nice and sympathetic reaction.
I want to thank you for being one of the very few male reactor that didn't look shocked or horrified when they show the scenes of the women giving birth. I was already expecting to see a look of disgust or some comment on how they shouldn't show that. So thank you very much for being a mature adult
Thank you for the reaction. Greetings from Germany, wish you all the best.
The beings represent three of the main Norns: Urd, Verdandi and Skuld, whose names translate as past, present, and future. "Urd" also means "faith". They reside under Yggdrasil. You may remember the story of Odin and the Well of Urd.
I named one of the high(ish) performance servers in my lab Igdrasil (spelled it more Brazilian, to be easier), since I do lots of evolutionary trees. :-) I don't know much of the stories from Norse mythology though, bought a nice book about it a while ago but can't seem to find the time to finally read it...
According to the Plato and Goethe (Faust) references they are most probably the Moirai or the Parcae and not the Nornes, but that might be like splitting hairs...
Thanks for reacting to this song - it's so unique in Rammstein's discography and so beautiful, that I could listen to it round&round... Very emotional, very deep ♥️
I´ve seen alot of rammstein reactions, but you are the first one that appreciate not only their music, but the poems Till writes... thx for that. Till Lindemanns Texte sind wirklich tief und haben oft 3 oder manchmal 4 ebenen. Enjoy!
Zu viele Ebenen für mich! :-D
The three fearsome figures probably don't represent death or time per se. I think Rammstein've chosen an adaptation of old Germanic/Nordic myths for their song. In the old norse/ germanic Völuspá, three women of destiny are named as Norns (Nornir). The three sit at the source of the river Urd at the root of the world ash Yagdrasil and spin the threads of destiny for all gods and humans. They are called Urd (destiny), Verdandi (that which is to be) and Skuld (guilt or that which is meant to be). When the thread is cut, life ends. It also means that each individual's fate is predetermined and cannot be changed by either man or even gods.
Thats all true....but according to the Plato and Goethe (Faust) references they are most probably the Moirai or the Parcae and not the Nornes, but that might be like splitting hairs..
And it's not about destiny but rather fate! ...Makes a huge difference in terms of the songs meaning.
@@sarcasticconsultant378 Yes, it's the same.
@@sarcasticconsultant378 What different?
@@annegretkasten6277 In der Zwischenzeit schon den Unterschied zwischen Schicksal und Bestimmung im Duden nachgeschlagen?
the 3 black figures are past, present and future
love the Song
the lyrics omg
Yes.They represent the three main Norns: Urd, Verdandi and Skuld, whose names translate as that.
The Video shows the timeflow just backwards...so the new born babys go back into the moms, and the sand of time flows up etc...all just small episodes of the past...like the death of a farmer-ancestors daughter etc.
⏳ TIME⌛
Some things should
Some things shan't(should not)
We see, yet we are blind
We cast shadows without light
After us, there will be a 'before'
Out of youth, necessity is born already
We keep dying until we live
(We) die living into(the)death
We drift towards the end
No rest, just striving forward
Endlessness is waving at the shore
Captured in the river of time
Time
Please stand still, stand still
Time
This shall go on forever and always
Warm body will be cold soon
One cannot conjure the future
Allows for no stay
Creating and destroying immediately
I lie here in your arms
Oh, could it just be like this forever
But the time knows of no mercy
Already, the moment is gone
Time
It is so beautiful, so beautiful
Everyone knows
The perfect Moment
When our time has come
Then it is time to go
Stopping when things are at thier best
The clocks stand still
The moment is so perfect
But the time keeps running(out)
Moment, would you Please remain
I'm not ready yet
Nice reaction, made me laugh with the south park bit, also thank you because my brain just didn't figure out why the girl (Playing Ollie's daughter) seemed to be a woman then girl, it just for some reason didn't register before! Thanks!
I just saw them perform in Cardiff, I think they said it was 50k audience!! It was actually on the same day you uploaded this by what it says! Amazing concert, they were epic as always! This, Zeit, was wonderful live, and when Till was singing, wishing time to please stay still, that we all know the perfect moment and wish to remain in that time, I felt the same; like please let this concert just go on and be, stay here in this moment now. But already it is gone.
Beautiful song, I don't know German, only the things I have picked up from music, such as Rammstein's lyrics, but hearing and seeing this the first time I still felt so emotional.
Did you catch at the very end, the last thing you hear is a person taking in a breath?
5:18 The songs Reise, Reise and Seemann have similar guitar riffs.
My interpretation:
This clip is divided into two settings: Real-world (color) and a kind of "other dimension" (greyish). those are connected by those three gate/timekeepers (past/present/future). Those receive and deliver "souls"/spark of life ...
The symbolism of the sand of the hourglass and the flow of time/drowning in time (water scenes at the beginning) are +/- obvious.
The mystic sand monument might be something like the memories of a person that you remember and are left in time and get decayed/destroyed over time
Good interpretation! I agree that is probably what they were going for in the concept there. Makes sense, at least.
These are exactly the reactions I have been searching for! Great Job thanks!
👍😍 a masterpiece..
I love this Song so mutch💕
Feel the music...enjoy it! Then everything makes sense...doesn't matter the lyrics😉
For me it sounds a bit like "Klavier" from 1997.
only Rammstein 💜💜🥺🥺
Please consider reacting to Angst... but since you like Rammstein that much, you've probably done it already 😉
Ha, recorded that today! :-D Should be up in the next couple of weeks.
@@scientistanalyzes Great! Looking forward to seeing it 😁 Also, I'm so hyped because in two weeks I'll see them live and I'm going to stand as close as possible 😎
Timekeepers/watcher not the Grim Reaper imo ^^
Thx for the Reaction
Yup, that makes more sense.
@@scientistanalyzes Actually, these are the "Drei Nornen" (Three Nornes), the Past, the Present and the Future, mythic creatures of the Germanic worldview/religion from back in time.
Greetings from Germany.
I will never understand how people can speak during a song they react to or pause it.
Just listen to the song without any comments and speak about it afterwards.
Wow ... your German ist great!! 👍
It is mainly about our time as humans on this planet
Time... Death.. what's the difference, really? I think showing Death like a personification of Time (or vice versa) as they did here makes perfect sense.
Hello. I come from Germany and saw many reaction videos about songs form Ramstein, but your reaction is one of the best. Please react the songs "Klaivier" and "Wollt Ihr das Bett in Flammen sehen?" from Ramstein, they are epic. smile
Yeah, classics from the older days! :-) I especially like Wollt Ihr..., that typical Rammstein sound. I think I know all the lyrics to it, I've heard so many times.

My interpretation and thought was time goes on like a continuous cycle and those rare occasions when we are truly happy of course we want time to stop. The showing of the sand and hourglass ⌛ time keeps going and them showing the scenes reversing to me meant a desire to go back in time either to the moment of birth and start our lives over or to before we're even born saying no i don't even want to be born i want to go back before i was even conscious of my own existence and mortality. Them being blindfolded to me was no one knows whats going to happen in the future we don't know what kind of lives these babies are going to have.

Yeah, I get some of that feeling too, in parts of the video, about wanting time to freeze at a happy point... Good interpretation. This is one of those videos with so many layers that I will probably think of something new each time I watch it.
So...NO kids/daughters?
The three black dressed
women are the three Nornes. In the old german
fore-christian mythology they represent the past,
the present and the future. The Norne of the past is
named Urd (the destiny). The Norne of the present
is Verdandi (that what is now and what will be in the
next moment). The Norne of the future is Skuld
(that what will grow out of the past and the always
changing moments). The Nornes spin the rope of
life. They decide where the rope begins and where it
ends. In Germany we still say „life hangs at a thin
rope" when things are getting dangerous or
somebody is really hurt or sick. The Nornes are no
gods. They just represent the time of a life. People
can't influence time and a lot of things that
happens. The life of everyone is created by the
Nornes what means by the time. And we all sitting in
the same boat mightless in the sands of time. This
is the credo of this song.
Thats all true....but according to the Plato and Goethe references they are most probably the Moirai or the Parcae and not the Nornes, but that might be like splitting hairs..
And it's about destiny but rather fate! ...Makes a huge difference in terms of the songs meaning.

The Song you remembered is "Spieluhr" (2001). RAMMSTEIN copy themselves more and more.
..you make it sound bad, Jonas... :-(
