Just curious. Black Germans how do y’all feel about that band Wir Sind Helden? Like is their music top-tier 2000s pop rock to you guys? Realizing I listened to quite a bit of their music (going thru an old high school playlist. I went thru a phase where I was discovering Neue Deutsche Härte & Welle music. It was fun lol). I liked Madsen, too.

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.

Ich liebe die Wir Sind Helden Texte. Die Lyrics sind einfach unübertroffen. Something very yearning there.

Memorial by Wir sind Helden (band name: We are Heroes)

[Intro] (electronic voicemail)

( We have a SMS short message for you. The message reads: ‚Mission One Accomplished Exclamation Point Posters Eight Comma Arrestments Zero Period Mission Two Follows Period Go Get The Sledgehammer‘)

[Verse 1]

Come to the window, come here

Look over there, immediately there behind a corrugated iron fence

Over there, on the site in front of Aldi*                                   

They have set our image in stone

Come to the streets, come to me

Half crumbled Flowers and garlands everywhere

Looks very much like, they have unveiled our memorial

This very night without us

[Chorus]

Go get the sledgehammer!

They build us a memorial

And every fucking moron knows, this screws up the love

I’m gonna hire the worst graffiti taggers in town

So they’ll deface the ruins with slogans tonight

[Verse 2]

Go get going, come here

The sun‘s soon up, and we dont have forever

If somebody catches us here now, we’ll be united forever

In concrete and bliss

[Chorus]

Go get the sledgehammer!

They build us a memorial

And every fucking moron knows, this screws up the love

I’m gonna hire the worst graffiti taggers in town

So they’ll deface the ruins with slogans tonight

[Bridge]

Do you see the writing there under the shoes?

It reads in golden letters, we should rest in eternity

[Chorus]

Go get the sledgehammer!

They build us a memorial

And every fucking moron knows, this screws up the love

I’m gonna hire the worst graffiti taggers in town

So they’ll deface the ruins with slogans tonight

They build us a memorial

And every fucking moron knows, this screws up the love

I’m gonna hire the worst graffiti taggers in town

So they’ll deface the ruins with slogans tonight
