Today I am not writing of the Goth Challenge (that shall come later tonight most likely), but I would like to write about how much I love German. I take a fancy German class in Boston (it's not actually fancy , as you'll see I use the word "fancy" very loosely and arbitrarily) because my school only offers French, Spanish, and Mandarin Chinese (I take French). Ever since I'd first heard German spoken, I'd loved it very much. It's very comforting to me. It's not melodic as French is, but it's very beautiful and special to me. I think that I lived in Germany in a past life, because the language comes so easily to me, and I feel like the words express their meanings in a much deeper way than they do when I speak English.
A project I just finished for German class introducing Till Lindemann of Rammstein
I really like German bands, or at least bands who sing in German. Rammstein was my first and favourite German band. Although they aren't a good teacher of German pronunciation (sadly, real Germans don't roll their R's), I have learned A LOT of German vocabulary and even some sentence structure from them.
I want to buy all of their CDs, but I'm picky and I'll only buy the real ones imported from Germany. I do not want ANY ENGLISH WHATSOEVER on my special Rammstein CDs. I know, I'm silly and ridiculous.
Right now, the one I want the very most is Mutter , because a few of my most favourite Rammstein songs are on that CD.
One of my favourite Rammstein songs is Mein Herz brennt. Here it is, complete with English lyrics for you non-German-speakers:
I hope you get to Germany and can see your favorite band before he retires. Do they ever tour in the US?
ReplyDeleteYes, they had a concert somewhere that was close-ish, like 3 hours away, back in May. I was so mad that I couldn't go for lack of a ride there. >:/
