Ohne dich
Encyclopedia : O : OH : OHN : Ohne dich
"Ohne dich" (Without you) is a song by German band Rammstein from the album Reise Reise. It is seen as expressing mourning over the loss of a loved person. It was released as the third single from the album on 22 November 2004 in Germany, Switzerland and Austria. Other countries' releases followed up from that date. It follows a slow, even romantic balladic style. The central motif is Without you, I cannot be, without you..., With you, I am also alone, without you...
The single includes as its 6th track the so-called beta version of what should have been part of Mutter. Indeed, Ohne dich was planned for Mutter, but then dismissed. Both versions, the current and the beta version, are very similar. Much of the instrumentation is the same for both versions, and Lindemann's voice is softer in the current version.
During those of the live shows that Apocalyptica was the support act during the band's Reise, Reise tour in 2004-2005, they played the cellos in the song live.
Video
The video was filmed in the Kaun Valley and on the Pitz Valley glacier in Tyrol, Austria. It shows the band climbing in the mountains when Rammstein's vocalist Till Lindemann falls and gets badly hurt. The song then ends and there's a quiet minute as the band sits in the tent and Till longingfully watches up on a mountain peak. The music starts again as the band starts to climb up on a mountain, carrying Till on their shoulders. In the end, they reach the mountain peak, Till takes a look around and dies with a satisfied smile. It is also interesting to note that while all the band members have goggles on, Till has the goggles he wore in the first video they made, "Du riechst so gut".Track listing
