Denyoz Posted August 1, 2012 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Denyoz Posted August 1, 2012 Author Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thurisaz Posted August 2, 2012 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thurisaz Posted August 3, 2012 Share 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... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thurisaz Posted August 3, 2012 Share 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 Share Posted August 3, 2012 I love T'pau, especially the album you quoted. Some of the best 80's music. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
