For me until a few months ago Rammstein was just a german band that was known for incredible concert sets with a lot of fire ect. Then, i started to watch a comedy series the discounter in german to start to learn german again because it's my mother tongue but the place i live in don't have many occasion to talk it. After enjoying the comedy, i start wondering how else i could improve my vocabulary when i asked myself this question i was listening to some english songs and then though why not improve by listening to some deutsche songs. I start to search "deutschland song" oddly enough one of the most known song from rammstein appeard.

After one, two, there, ....., 30 songs. I couldn't stop no more, this mix of not too hard lyrics and amazing instrumentals had charmed my ears.
What if we talk about where is Rammstein ? Formed in 1994 and composed by Till Lindemann (vocals), Richard Z. Kruspe (lead guitar), Paul Landers (rhythm guitar), Oliver Riedel (bass), Christoph Schneider (drums), Christian “Flake” Lorenz (keyboards). Rare enough achievement the line up of the group is the same as when the group started. The very thing i like a lot about rammstein is that they talk about "sensitive" subject such as and not limited to Love, Obsession, Politics, Society, Death, Violence and Taboo topics this while having rolling vocals and heavy riffs and strong rhythmic elements. Which mean you can listen to the song by focusing on all the lyrics or just the instrumental (which i do both depending if i listen to the song while doing sports or a task or if i liste while walking).
Let's now move to my personel Top 5 of the best songs (no order except top 1) which i know are most of the most popular ones but i can't help and be a sheep you know...
The my Top 2,3,4,5 (not in order are) Deutschland, Amerika, My hertz brent and Zeit
My number one, for the lyrics and for the chills when this part come "Erst, wenn die Wolken schlafen gehen Kann man uns am Himmel seh'n Wir haben Angst und sind allein Gott weiß, ich will kein Engel sein"

I can't make an in depth analysis of what the song is about because i simply don't know, the main point are that Rammstein ask if you really want to live your life like a saint to become an angel or if you should live your life as you wish. But as said before a big part of my affection for the song come from the instrumentals and voices the combo of singer deep voice and the femal singer voice is amazing.
