Denyoz Posted August 1, 2012 Posted August 1, 2012 Five years after its release, this is still one of my favorite music videos. I watched it so many times and had no idea what the words meant (it's in German). Today I checked the translation and... Wow! I just had to share. Ich und Ich - Vom Selben Stern I and I - From the Same Star Margee, I dedicate this one to you. 1
Denyoz Posted August 1, 2012 Author Posted August 1, 2012 Here are the lyrics English translation I found: Vom Selben Stern Get up and dress yourself now it´s the others turn I take all your pain Open the window, turn the music on loud all the ice has melted I take all you pain we are all made of stardust our eyes are warm sparkling we are not broken we are complete you are from the same star I can hear your heartbeat you are from the same star as I am because you hear the same inner voice you belong to the same because you are thinking the same as I do Dance through your room, go astray dance through the streets, through the town I take all you pain let us walk along together today we fly over Berlin I take all your pain 1
Moderator Margee Posted August 1, 2012 Moderator Posted August 1, 2012 Thank you so much Deny...you are such a good friend! That was cool! This is still my favorite you tube on this topic of 'stars' and being connnected......... 2
Thurisaz Posted August 2, 2012 Posted August 2, 2012 It's a nice song basically though it has been played to death (like all successful songs) over here. I'm close to vomiting when I hear the song / see the video due to the lingering overdose effect

Thurisaz Posted August 3, 2012 Posted August 3, 2012 Heh it happens. Actually it happens to every song/video that's at least decently successful. Shows that the entire German music business is nothing more than really a business nowadays. If it sells, keep playing it until not a single fucking CD can be sold anymore, and screw the fact that people can dream of the entire song already (with luck, in the form of a sweet dream, on average, as a nightmare). I don't mind if the "successful song" is crappy anyway but whenever they do it to a basically good song...

Thurisaz Posted August 3, 2012 Posted August 3, 2012 There are damn many seemingly harmless songs that contain a wow message as soon as you really listen to the lyrics and think about them. I stumbled over the mp3s of the 80s band "T'Pau" again some weeks ago, I always found Carol Decker's voice fascinating... but the lyrics of some of their songs only got to me later. Like these... my face must've looked quite funny when I realized what this is all about (Seems that there's only this version of the lyrics online, sadly, as it's not wholly correct... that line "Lift your head to a new day okay" should really read "...to a new decade", rather crucial for proper understanding) Yeah to all those who never thought about my age before I guess I just revealed what an old fart I am...
London Posted August 3, 2012 Posted August 3, 2012 I love T'pau, especially the album you quoted. Some of the best 80's music.
