Ohne Dich Kann Ich Nicht Sein...

""Ohne Dich" (or "Without You") is the newest single from Rammstein off of their album "Reise, Reise" (Or "Arise, Arise" or even "Voyage, Voyage". Some people feel that Rammstein's gotten soft since their first album "Herzeleid" (Heartache), but in fact this is the first song on all the other albums that is very much like the single "Seemann" (Sea Man) from their first album. "Ohne Dich" is soft, nostolgic and earnest- and Till sings with vibrato in this track- astounding us all (who knew he could sound even prettier?). This song has an incredible feeling to it, and enchanting words. It's truely the best single out of the three that came from "Reise, Reise". The PV isn't on this disc, but the six track single doesn't need to be enhanced to be worth the buy. Each mix is so completely different from the last that you feel like you've got a CD of completely seperate songs- and each one is more and more beautiful as you go along. THe "Mina Harker" mix is a duet between boy and girl and is gorgeous. "Sacred Mix" is just the vocal track accompanied by a brilliant organ score while the "Schiller Mix" is really the only actual remix of the song, with a techno beat and great strings, but the "Under Byen" remix is my favourite of them all. Once you hear it you'll agree that it is haunting and amazing, the heavy drums and complex piano running along in tragic notes, this CD is just so completely worth the buy. The last track is a beta version of "Ohne Dich" which they recorded for the album "Mutter" but decided not to use and is very good as well, though when they rerecorded it for "Reise, Reise" I think it came together better. Well, now you know, "Without you I cannot be" and without this CD the seconds will stand still- they won't be worth it."
