Die deutsch Sprache ist so schön und genau, du kannst damit Punkt genau etwas beschreiben. Welches Glück ich habe diese Sprache zu sprechen und zu verstehen.

[Durin]

As a german I have to say that the song hits even harder in german. The poetry in the song doesn't translate all that well into english. A very beautiful song.

[andreaskrause]

Es können nur wenige, sein Verlustschmerz so in Worte zu fassen .

[katjawege]

It is hard not to cry while listening to this song. 😢 After his wife's death he actually did not want to come back onto stage again, but his children made him return and it seems like singing these songs onstage was some kind of therapy for him. You might enjoy "Mensch" live 2003 which he also sang in this concert. It is about the hard way back to life after such a loss and trying to enjoy life again. Watch it until the end - this will show you how much people felt with Herbert and tried to make him feel better again. Love from Germany ❤

I remember the "premiere" of this song on a German entertainment show. It was the first appearance after his wife's death. He asked to leave the stage immediately after the performance, without the obligatory thanks to the audience for leaving. I cried like crazy and I still get a big lump in my throat when I hear that song.

[MastrcodeMusic]

The reason, why he has performed the song in front of this crowd was his 9 years old daughter. A few days, after his wife passed away, his daughter told him, he never should give up and has to continue singing.

The true magic of this song is that there are so many deeper, underlying thoughts in these lyrics - and every person will find something else they can relate to. One thing that stands out to me is the casual and unconcerned way he tells us that he considered suicide as "I'm too lazy to give up", which to me really hints at his origin "Ruhrpott", where people are very pragmatic, familiar with the ugly and rough edges of life and never take themselves too seriously. The other would be "You never betrayed your plan for happiness", where in German, the word "verraten" can mean both "betray" or "reveal". I love that they mean two different things but both can be what he meant to say: She never revealed her plan for happiness, which elevates her to have known something we all may never know and she never betrayed her plan, never gave in to despair until the very end.

[gescheharm]

I always cry, still I cannot stop listening. It`s utter beauty hits me every time.

[stephanjulich]

I joined exactly that concert. We ALL cried.

[helloweener]

Both losses were in a very short term.
His brother passed on a Sunday and his wife on the following Thursday.

[entropica]

The German lyrics are even much better than the translation, so precisely describing his emotions, a true gem. What a poet.

[willybauer]

I lost my wife a few years back and this song helped me a little, though I always cry listening to it

[JamanWerSonst]

I've never felt loss like he has but it still wrecks me seeing him perform this song. He has a way with words.
I mean dying sucks but imagine someone writes a song like that about you.

[marcusbaron]

Habe dieses Lied 2004 zum ersten mal Live in Hamburg gehört und danach noch auf vielen weiteren Konzerten.Es ist ein ganz besonderes Lied.Auf der einen Seite sehr traurig.Es soll aber auch ausdrücken, dass das Leben auch nach dem Verlust eines geliebten Menschens weiter geht.Eines der schönsten Lieder von Herbert.

[katharinanikol]

In the hole german spoken room, this exact show was very special to so many of us, everyone knew that his wife just died of cancer, his brother also died just a bit in before his wife, and he sang this song in condolences for both of them, it was extremly intense and emotional, for us older folks....

[Goofystar]

This song touches your heart even if you don't understand the lyrics. He lost a brother and then his wife in succession. Two wives died of breast cancer.

[arnodobler]

His brother (also an artist) and his wife (a theater actress, hence the Shakespeare reference) died within a few days of each other. 😢😢
Herbert also had a leading role in the movie "Das Boot". His other brother is a famous doctor.

[Dreatnought]

In 2003 I had this song played at my wife's funeral, she also battled cancer and lost (we lost).

[manaz]

Herbert Arthur Wiglev Clamor Grönemeyer accompanied me since 1982, when I was a small child. He is the best German singer, so emotional, politically clear and mumbles his way through the world wonderfully. LOVE

[Expat.]

It took him 4 years to get back on stage after the passings and this was apparently the first song he wrote after he thought he couldn’t any more. I believe his little daughter made him promise not to stop singing.
It’s a homage to his wife. The lyrics are more precise original. He really packed good memories, denial, gratitude, grief, resilience and a yes to life after loss in a couple of minutes.
