Ich Will

Rammstein's throbbing Ich Will from the 2001 LP—Mutter. Sung in German, here in English are the lyrics:

I want

I want you to trust me
I want you to believe me
I want to feel your eyes
I want to control every heartbeat

I want to hear your voices
I want to disturb the peace
I want you to see me well
I want you to understand me

I want your fantasy
I want your energy
I want to see your hands
I want to go down in applause

Do you see me?
Do you understand me?
Do you feel me?
Do you hear me?
Can you hear me?
(We hear you)
Can you see me?
(We see you)
Can you feel me?
(We feel you)
I don't understand you

I want

We want you to trust us
We want you to believe everything from us
We want to see your hands
We want to go down in applause - yeah

Can you hear me?
(We hear you)
Can you see me?
(We see you)
Can you feel me?
(We feel you)
I don't understand you

Can you hear us?
(We hear you)
Can you see us?
(We see you)
Can you feel us?
(We feel you)
We don't understand you

I want

Feuer Frei

Here's a frisky animation video created by a fellow named Limberger put to the music of Rammstein's explosive Feuer Frei track off the mesmerizing 2001 "Mutter" LP. I discovered this album in 2003, much to my delight, just as I was pulling together music to help launch Radio Scenewash on July 2. The album set me off into a greedy exploration of this new sound, this exquisite thrill of edgy Industrial Goth, that somehow had passed me by during my earlier years devoted mostly to off the rack classic acts and the punk sounds of the 1980s. And I've never looked back. Thank you Rammstein...

Whoever knows pain becomes criticized
From the fire that burned up the skin
I throw a light in my face
A hot cry
Open fire!

Bang bang

Whoever knows pain is raised
From the fire that burns in desire
A hard thrust (that gives off sparks) into her womb
A hot cry
Open fire!

Bang bang
Open fire!

Whoever knows pain is dangerous
From the fire that burns the soul
Bang bang
The burned child is dangerous
With fire that separates from the life
A hot cry
Bang bang
Open fire!

Your happiness
Is not my happiness
It is my misery

Bang bang
Open fire!
