Day 15 — A song I like that's a cover by another artist

(first german song. English name: Just A Word. A cover of "Wir Sind Helden")

Und wo du hingehen willst, <And wherever you want to go>

ich häng an deinen Beinen. <I'll hold onto your legs>

Wenn du schon auf den Mund fallen musst, <And if you're in a loss for words>

Warum dann nicht auf meinen? <why don't you lose yourself in me?>

That was a tough one since I am not that into covered music. I stumbled through my music library for this and only found three cover versions. This is one of them. This is the first German song for this "challenge" although originally didn't plan to take German songs because most people won't understand, I'm afraid. The original version of this song is beautiful as well as this cover version which takes "Just A Word" more into a sad vibe with a clear take on to the doomer music genre. The singer sings about a person she/he is in love with, but the person doesn't give her/him any attention at all depicted in "a loss for words" because the person doesn't talk. The singer therefore wishes for just one word from the person. Although the person doesn't give the singer any attention, in many passages the singer sings about the moments where the person's quietness makes her/him even more attracted to the person.

There is also one cute pun in it which unfortunately does only work in German. There is a saying in German that someone who doesnt talk that much is "auf den Mund gefallen", which literally means one fell onto her/his own mouth. So in the verses "Wenn du schon auf den Mund fallen musst, warum dann nicht auf meinen?" the singer asks why the person couldn't just fall onto the singer's mouth (making them kiss one another 🥰) while also stating how quiet the person is - like in the saying I had just mentioned.

new game! shuffle your playlist 12 times and let it predict your 2023

Thanks for the tag @gwiazdziarka !

The majority of my playlists are either thematical or FSTs and have less than 20 songs, so I used different ones for each month and I can think that can teach us all something about algorithms, because, uh



January: Marina - Bubblegum Bitch

February: Lucy Ward - Maids When You're Young

March: Marit Larsen - Shelby Avenue

April: Portugal. The Man - Feel It Still

May: Wir Sind Helden - Nur ein Wort

June: Marit Larsen - Faith & Science

July: Marit Larsen - Don't Move

August: Marit Larsen - Please Don't Fall For Me

September: Simen Vikan - Rett Sted Rett Tid

October: Marit Larsen - Ten Steps

November: Original London Cast of "Cats" (1981): Magical Mr. Mistoffelees

December: Marit Larsen - This is Me, This Is You



In conclusion: if the FMA fandom could make Nightwish a hype the MLB fandom could totally do the same for another Nordic artist. "The Spark" is the soundtrack of adrinette and "When The Morning Comes" is ladynoir's

Can you recommend some good german music? And who are the artists that get played too much on the radio?

This is also for @yardstick-is-cool (whom I can’t tag for some reason), who asked for German music as well.

Disclaimer: My music taste is vague at best and I have no idea which artists have been deemed “cringy” by the general German public, partially because I emphatically don’t care.

For German music I like:

The most obvious recommendation is Die Ärzte. If you like sarcastic songs with a punk vibe and political messages (x), but also fun songs about Sylt (x), check them out. Favourite use of the German language: “Du hast nie gelernt dich artizukulieren” (You never learnt how to express yourself) in Stummer Schrei nach Liebe, which underlines the meaning of the sentence with a sexy piece of intentionally incorrect grammar - it should be “dich zu artikulieren”.

I always really liked Wir Sind Helden, because they work with this language so well. If you like lyrics you have to think about and tons of nice wordplay, they’re the band for you. They have political songs (x), cute songs (x), sad songs (x), and songs that make you think a lot (x). Favourite use of the German language: “Täglich rede ich mir mein Leben aus U-Bahnfahrplaneinzelpunkten” (Pretty much untranslatable, but vaguely means “Every day, I narrate my life to myself based on single points on subway timetables”) in Stiller, which features a very nice compound word that doesn’t technically exist - but when has that ever stopped the German language.

I won’t pretend to know anything about Deutschrap (German rap), but Sookee has been recommended to me as someone who does actually good, leftist, queer Deutschrap. (Backstory: A lot of Deutschrap is pretty misogynistic and drenched in macho vibes, which is why it has a pretty bad rep in Germany. Not all of it though; there’s good stuff.) Since I have yet to listen to Sookee’s entire discography, I can’t recommend a lot of songs, but do check out this one (x) about screaming internally as right-wing parties rise in popularity and centrist parties play along.

Another good Deutschrap song that drags gender norms three times around Troy, rec (just like Sookee) courtesy of @let-me-choke-on-alibis: (x)

If you like stuff with a club music vibe that is packed with social criticism as soon as you listen to the lyrics, check out Deichkind, especially those songs that everyone used to sing when I was in middle school, featuring criticism of egoistic consumerism (x) and capitalist work ethic, a.k.a. “Be productive even if it kills you”, complete with a dig at Trump made in 2012 (x).

I just found out that Fettes Brot made a song about queer history (x), which convinces me to put them on this list, also because this song (x) about desensitisation to the horrible things in the world remains iconic, and as a Nordlicht, I am contractually obliged to rec Nordisch By Nature (x), which you should absolutely listen to if you’re studying German, because it features the lesser known Northern German dialects as well as Plattdeutsch, which is a language (Not a dialect!) spoken in parts of Northern Germany.

If you just want to listen to fun music, there’s Annett Louisan. I haven’t listened to her in ages so I have no idea what she does nowadays, but this (x) is hilarious and she’s right about this one (x) about people just being contrary without knowing anything about what they’re disagreeing with. And of course the iconic Siezgelegenheit (x) about the inherent eroticism of Siezen.

For more fun songs, check out the Wise Guys, a band who only does acapella and has a lot of fun with the German language. I don’t like all of their lyrics, but I love the funny songs they make. There’s one about IKEA (x), one about the Deutsche Bahn that is absolutely iconic and so accurate (x), and the song everyone who is studying German should print out as a challenge to find all the (intentional) grammatical errors, which ironically is about a German teacher (x).

More artists that aren’t super well known but were recommended to me, that I however don’t know very well, are AnnenMayKantereit and Von Wegen Lisbeth.

And of course you have to listen to THE song of the German climate movement (x).

Now for what’s on the radio:

I’m already tired and haven’t even started this section yet. I feel like at least half of these artists have a song about “I’m coming back to my home town to hang out with my old friends and feel nostalgic although I’m 25″.

Tim Bendzko

Sportfreunde Stiller

Mark Forster

Andreas Bourani

Clueso

Cro (who has some fun songs, not gonna lie)

Sometimes there’s Silbermond, but never the good songs

Ich + Ich/Adel Tawil (who is or was stuck in Egypt due to Corona apparently and is pretty fun if you see him live; I hope he’s alright)

Sido (ever since he stopped making really bad Deutschrap and started making mediocre Deutschrap about the time when he was making really bad Deutschrap)

Namika

I’m not saying that these artists are bad, or that all of their songs are boring. I’m saying that they all make the same kind of music, with slight variations, and largely focus on the same topics, at least when it comes to their songs that are on the radio. There’s already close to no variety in the English songs German radio plays, but it’s somehow even worse with German artists. It’s less that I dislike these artists and more that there IS a lot of variety in German music that isn’t reflected at all by what’s on the radio.

(There usually are some songs by the artists in the first list on the radio as well, and some of them are very well known, but considering HOW well known some of them are, I don’t hear nearly enough of them when I listen to the radio, while I have to sit through at least 5 Mark Forster or whoever the fuck songs every single time I turn on NDR.)
