Sigmund Freud’s favorite music album
I was re-listening the other day a very good music album and I suddenly realized that the greatest psychoanalyst of all time, Sigmund Freud, would have loved it. The album starts with a song that seems to be a twisted, gloomy children story. Then it follows a song about a man who shouts instructions and orders. Then there is a song about the sun / son – you never really know which one, but Freud would say it is about a lost son. Also, this song was released with a video in which a fairy tale princess beats the poor dwarfs. This is followed by a song in which a…

Ulrike Schneider Schmid – Rammstein Christoph Schneider’s Wife
I came across this photo of Christoph Schneider and his wife, Ulrike Schneider Schmid. I’ve seen her in the past, but in this particular photo I think she looks great. She seems to be a mixture between Shirley Manson from Garbage in her youth and Eva Green. I love her make-up, both the eyes and the red lipstick, and I also like the color of the dress and her awesome nails (I also use a similar deep red color for my nails). And, of course, her attitude is pretty cool. Rammstein’s drummer, Christoph Schneider, also looks nice. I understand that she is a psychologist. How cool is that? She studied in Vienna and in…

From Dusk Till Dawn “Dance Scene” vs. Rammstein’s Engel Video
“Engel” (1997) was one of the first Rammstein videos I’ve watched. I was mesmerized by it. I particularly liked the woman’s dance with the snake and whiskey pouring part. I thought she was very very sexy. And the song was amazing. The dancer is very expressive but unfortunately I couldn’t find her name. Update: Happily, someone pointed out that the dancer’s name is Cécile Dütsch (here is her Linkedin account). On Rammstein Belgium (best Rammstein fan page) I found a copy from what it looks to be a magazine: Although no one knows the dancer’s name, we do know the female singer’s name. She is Christiane Bobolina Hebold. Although she doesn’t…

Serge Gainsbourg, Till Lindemann and Karl Lagerfeld – An interesting mix
1. Till Lindemann When I was a teenager I found about this band called Rammstein. Someone showed me a video of Engel and I instantly fell in love with the whole band’s aesthetics. I never really thought about its lead singer, Till Lindemann. I liked the band as a whole. When I was already a young adult and I saw for the first time live this band I started to like its lead singer. On stage, he possessed an incredible energy, he discharged so much power and he was definitely enchanting. Only then I started to really like him. 2. Karl Lagerfeld Ugh, I never really cared much about this guy,…

The funny meaning behind Rammstein’s Feuer und Wasser lyrics
“Feuer und Wasser” is the 10th song from the album “Rosenrot” by German band Rammstein, released in 2005. If you listen this song but you don’t speak German, you will hear a deep and profound song, as if it is was about the meaning of life or something like this. Maybe you already know that “Feuer und Wasser” means “Fire and Water” and you might think that the song speaks about them metaphorically, where they are some kind of yin-yang. Anyhow, here is the song (the only normal version I found on Youtube – unfortunately it doesn’t have an official video): The funny thing is that the song is about a…

A beautiful love song and poem for Valentine’s Day
Valentine’s day is the day when we celebrate this passionate and crazy love that we have for the significant other. The Ancient Greeks identified multiple types of love. Among these, the consuming, heart burning type of love was called Eros. This is what we’re celebrating today! For Valentine’s Day I thought I should share with you one of the nicest love songs / poem I know. There are, of course, many beautiful love songs, but one of the best is Amour by Rammstein. The song “Amour” is the last song on the album Reise, Reise (2004). The song is powerful and Till’s voice is amazing, but the lyrics are la pièce…

Till Lindemann feeding birds…
Hi everyone! There’s a twitter account I’ve been following intermittently for a while now. It is called Rammstein Belgium and it surely does a great job following Rammstein’s activity, but it kind of focuses on Till Lindemann, Rammstein lead singer and song writer and I don’t mind at all… Anyhow, they posted a video which totally swept me off my feet. Look at how cute it is! Till is feeding the pigeon from his own mouth! OMG! 💕 He is so cute and romantic…
