On Thursday, February 24, at 3 a.m. Polish time, Russian troops attacked Ukraine. The soldiers struck both from the ground and from the air. The Ukrainian army is resisting tough, but the situation is changing minute by minute.
On April 29, 2022 – exactly three years after the premiere of the previous, untitled album of the German group Rammstestein – the eighth album titled “Zeit”. The first single from this release that the listeners can hear is a lyrical and epic ballad with the same title as the album. The lyrics of the song deal with the subject of human mortality and fleeting moments of happiness.
Rammstein and his new music video about the passing of life
“Time, please, don’t even twitch” – sings the singer and songwriter Till Lindemann in a song that was written during the coronavirus epidemic, and it is delivered to listeners 14 days after the outbreak of the war in Ukraine. The song is accompanied by a music video made with the panache of a German band. It was directed by an actor and musician, Robert Gwisdek, who worked with a famous group for the first time.
In fact, the clip resembles a symbolic film etude that deals with the subject of the inevitability of human death and the passing of time. The idea is to show the course of human life from the end. So at the very beginning we have a death scene and shots where the band members sink to the bottom of the sea after they fall out of the boat during a storm.
In the next sequence, musicians in costumes that can be dated to the end of the 19th and the beginning of the 20th century run around the forest with rifles and shoot each other. Then, in their place, we see young boys playing soldiers with sticks in the forest, there is also a symbolic depiction of a mass childbirth in an hourglass with falling sand. From time to time, the personification of time appears, observing subsequent events – a hooded figure with a ball of light instead of a face.
The music video lasts about six minutes and we warn you that it includes close-ups of the baby’s head as it slides out of the birth canal:
