My favourite artists of all times (part 3) - German Edition.

By Shattered | cesar cantante | 24 Jan 2021

Today i'm going to record a new musical cover, so now i have some spare time to continue with this list of artists that moved my world some time of my life to this current day. Now, back to my exordium.

Have you ever felt your mood changed just because you listened that artist or that song and changed your day for better? Well, that i'm here to share with you, those artists that in some moment of my life had (and still has) the ability to change my mood out of nothing.

As a disclamer, i'm not doing a top x of any of the artist/bands/genre/etc in this article, as a matter of fact, there is no order of any kind here, i'm placing them as they appear in my mind and in my heart, so, if you think X should be in X spot, read again this disclamer.

There will be no order of influence, or genre, only what i feel.

I hope you enjoy it, dear read.cash family.

1. Einsturzende Neubauten

This german Industrial band is SO weird, when i listened them the first time i freaked out, because i didn't expect that musical scheme (noise made music), i was used to the typical rammstein stuff, auntil i figure out that this guys are the 2nd industrial band ever (after Throbbing gristle ofc, they started it), and in that times was completely different to the genre in this times. What i loved about them is exactly that, the "anti music", it blows your mind after you understand it. This is definitely not for everyone.

Lyrics:

"Brennt auf den Nägeln eine Frage nur: Sind die Vulkane noch tätig? Sind die Vulkane noch tätig? Bitte enttäusch mich nicht! Ich glaub' wieder an Voodoo Steck' Nadeln ins Telefonbuch Bitte enttäusch mich nicht!"

2. Blind Guardian

Aaah, the bards of steel, my love for this band started when i was in highschool, listening songs like Mirror Mirror, Battlefield, i'm Alive, among others. Until this day i hear A script for my requiem and my body shivers, it's amazing.

Fun fact: The game Robot Unicorn Attack Heavy Metal has in its game the song Battlefield from Blind Guardian.

Do i need to explain more? i better show you one of my favourite songs form them.

Lyrics:

"No sign of life did flicker
In floods of tears she cried
"All hope's lost it can't be undone
They're wasted and gone"

"Save me your speeches
I know (They blinded us all)
What you want
You will take it away from me
Take it and I know for sure
The light she once brought in
Is gone forevermore"

Like sorrowful seaguls they sang
"(We're) lost in the deep shades
The misty cloud brought
(A wailing when beauty was gone
Come take a look at the sky)
Monstrous it covered the shore
Fearful into the unknown"
Quietly it crept in new horror
Insanity reigned
And spilled the first blood
When the old king was slain

Nightfall
Quietly crept in and changed us all
Nightfall
Quietly crept in and changed us all
Nightfall
Immortal land lies down in agony

"How long shall we
Mourn in the dark
the bliss and the beauty
Will not return
Say farewell to sadness and grief
Though long and hard the road may be"
But even in silence I heard the words
"An oath we shall swear
By the name of the one
Until the world's end
It can't be broken"

Just wondering how
I can still hear these voices inside

The doom of the Noldor drew near

The words of a banished king
"I swear revenge"
Filled with anger aflamed our hearts
Full of hate full of pride
We screamed for revenge

"Vala he is that's what you said
Then your oath's been sworn in vain
(But) freely you came and
You freely shall depart
(So) never trust the northern winds
Never turn your back on friends"

"Oh I'm heir of the high lord!"
"You better don't trust him"
The enemy of mine
Isn't he of your kind and
Finally you may follow me
Farewell
He said

Back to where it all began"

3. Scorpions

Ooh yes, This german band... is all about love.

This band i listened when i was a kid thanks to my brother, i remember he always listened to them on full blast on his room, in that time i didn't know what they wer saying on the lyrics, mainly because i didn't know english in that time, only spanish, but the sounds moved me a lot, this band helped me to develop at my short age how to feel the music with your body and no only with your ears... it's a nice sensation, i recommend you to do that, you will enjoy your favourite songs even more.

Goosebumps, goosebumps everywhere.

Lyrics:

Time, it needs time to win back your love again
I will be there, I will be there
Love, only love can bring back your love someday
I will be there, I will be there

Fight, babe, I'll fight to win back your love again
I will be there, I will be there
Love, only love can bring down the wall someday
I will be there, I will be there

If we go again all the way from the start
I would try to change the things that killed our love
Your pride has built a wall, so strong that I can't get through
Is there really no chance to start once again? I'm loving you

Try, baby, try to trust in my love again
I will be there, I will be there
Love, our love just shouldn't be thrown away
I will be there, I will be there

If we'd go again, all the way from the start
I would try to change the things that killed our love
Your pride has built a wall, so strong that I can't get through
Is there really no chance to start once again?

If we'd go again, all the way from the start
I would try to change the things that killed our love
Yes, I've hurt your pride, and I know what you've been through
You should give me a chance, this can't be the end

I'm still loving you
I'm still loving you
I'm still loving you
I need your love
I'm still loving you

Still loving you, baby

Still loving you
I need your love
Still loving you
I need your love, oh
Still loving you
I need your love, oh
I need your love
I need your love...
