“The essential doesn't change.” Beckett
A re-issue of "You and Your Sister" came out on 7" around the same time as the "i am the cosmos" on cd. Both brilliant.

“The essential doesn't change.” Beckett
Even on the waves there is fighting
Where fish and flesh are woven into sea
One stabs the lance while in the army
Another throws it into the ocean
Ahoy
Arise, arise seaman arise
Each does it in his own way
One thrusts the spear into a man
Another then into the fish
Arise, arise seaman arise
And the waves cry softly
In their blood a spear is lodged
They bleed softly into the ocean
The lance must be drowned in flesh
Fish and man sink to the depths
Where the black soul dwells
there is no light on the horizon
Ahoy
Arise, arise seaman arise
Each does it in his own way
One thrusts the spear into a man
Another then into the fish
Arise, arise seaman arise
And the waves cry softly
In their blood a spear is lodged
They bleed softly into the ocean
Arise, arise seaman arise
And the waves cry softly
In their heart a spear is lodged
They bleed themselves dry on the shore
Not homoerotic at all.
Not that there's anything wrong with that.

I was invited to a Christmas dinner last year and one of the guests kept repeating the name Rammstein all night saying that she had seen them live.
I had never heard of them and didn't pay much attention. She got up and went flying on her belly between 2 chairs like a seabird.
That was my introduction to Rammstein.

Thank you, Ponder.
I've seen this translation in the web, but, you know, too much is getting lost through translations.
In this case not only the rhyme, but also some of the power of the German words.
Do you know that Till Lindemann, the frontman, is a poet?
He's published two books of poetry so far.

My introduction to Rammstein goes back to 1998, when I shacked up with a crazy barmaid. One of her daughters, aged 16 and always dressed in black, made me listen to some of Rammstein's songs. I didn't like them at all. But okay, I got older and dumber, and now I kind of like them.

Wtf? :D
When Rammstein first appeared in the 90's and I saw glimpses of their work I thought they were some strange right-wing-shit, which is probably exactly what they want the uninformed to believe. Nowadays I view them more as some kind of conceptual art than as a band. If its good art or not is the question. Their music does not do much for me, but that's just my opinion.
Also they took a lot of their concepts from the Slovenian band Laibach. I've read an interview with Laibach once where they said, Rammstein is Laibach for the children.

Well, that's exactly what happened and what I thought.
I remember asking her at one point if she understood German and she said that she didn't.
They might be very good, I'll never know...
I'm invited again this Christmas. The year before, she had a thing for Johnny Hallyday. We'll see.

People say a lot of things, mostly to make themselves interesting, but if Rammstein is Laibach for children, I clearly prefer to be child.
