Blixa Bargeld, "Tomorrow Belongs to Me"

[badseed1980]

Wow. How did I not know this existed? I can just imagine a bunch of Nazis backing away slowly from Blixa with disturbed looks on their faces. :)

[triptoheaveandho]

does anyone know what year this was done?I was vry unfamilair with Blixa until recently =this is a very affecting thing to watch isn t it?

he is an odd combination of scary ,mystical and sad at the same time...

[PAULLONDEN]

The Sensational Alex Harvey Band ,did a good version on their "Tomorrow Belongs To Me" 1975 release.

[lanabanananickimouse]

unglaublich.macht mich immer wieder sprachlos.beeindruckend

[harajuki]

ahhhh anybody has the documentary "Berlin Now"???? :/ i cant find. 

[karenchristine9]

such style and grace. no one cares anymore.

[Manya1759]

... I'm in love

[bronzepumpkin]

Jaysus Blixa used to look like a dead body.

[henrypeckstv]

TOMORROW NEVER KNOWS

[musicaldogs]

@TyRYANasaurus I was just being facetious...

[musicaldogs]

Too skeletal to sing.

[raindog70]

It is absolutely right that the clip is grainy, faded, and distorted. The atmosphere is perfect. Why would anybody want to watch this in high definition? Thank you for the upload.

[InspectriceGadget]

@andywhorehall no i just meant BLIXA stole Burton's Edward look!!!! ;D (for kidding, ya're right :)

[morgenschweis]

wunderschön grausam irgendwie LOVEVA

[mrpurple11]

oh dios! te amo!!

[blwpyrhd]

So großartig!

gibt es diese Version auf irgend einer Platte/CD oder hat das jemand als mp3?

[cattotti]

Brilliant!

[InspectriceGadget]

lmao he looks like Edward Scissorhands! ;p

[liquidyodel]

max schreck i presume

[InspectriceGadget]

But I was right, even if I didn't talk about his music, sorry ^^

[oyshema]

like everyone else, i am thrilled to have found this. i scoure youtube frequently for EN videos and am always pleased to find a new one.

i know the song is from cabaret, but can someone tell me if this footage was taken from some EN dvd / vhs? i think the opening bars of "futter mein ego" play after the cabaret song? thats what made me think it came from an EN vhs..

[cowboystitching]

a bootleg perhaps?

[ShiAkaShi]

It's "Berlin Now" by Wolfgang Büld

[gouesmelm]

Admirable commentaire de Lorwinn!!!!

[lorwin4723985]

ahah, merci :p

[myboomstick]

wow...are you for real? i hope you're taking the piss lol - you really are a piece of work

[lorwin4723985]

C'est très mignon quand Blixa chante avec son sourcil droit :-)

[emperorcaeser]

cool song but the quality is incredebil bad

[LadyAnkara]

Oh, the Nazis would never have anything to do with Blixa. He's far too much of a degenerate (at least by Nazi standards). Thank god.

[LadyAnkara]

The function of "Tomorrow Belongs to Me" in Cabaret is to foreshadow the horror of the Nazi Regime, not to glorify it. I have seen this play several times, and the scene in which "Tomorrow Belongs to Me" is sung is absolutely chilling and disturbing. It is not meant to stir up feelings of racial supremacy.

Blixa Bargeld is NOT an anti semite. This performance reflects the tense and ambivalent relationship between the German people and their history.

[davmccorm]

Lady Ankara

Great analysis. I work in Germany (English citizen). I really like my German colleaagues but there is still an 'interesting' feeling re their pasr history

[inpolyester]

England has an "interesting past" as well (the sun did set). No one's bloodless.

[JoaErna]

Was zur Hölle is das denn für en Psyco? -.- Der zieht das gute Lied in den Dreck..

[blixem59]

It is you who is denying the Holocaust that's why I said what I did. I love this song in Cabaret but it was written with the intention of stirring up patriotism for the Fatherland not a Nazi anthem as people think. The 2 songwriters were actually Jewish. I'm also a huge EN fan.

[blixem59]

Luckie777s- you are disgusting. This should be a place for commenting on Blixa's video only.

[katjohannsen]

You're a hoax created by white supremacists like the National Alliance NPD Aryan Nations etc etc to extract stupidity from wannabes.

[katjohannsen]

Blixa and I both look like dope holocaust victims with spiky wild hair...the blossom embraces the bee...but soon says a whisper arise arise tomorrow beyond to me. Blixa you can leave your houseshoes by my bed any day, then or now.

[onedimensionalboy]

So great, so disturbing. I think this was originally shot in Scharzes Cafe in Berlin... am I wrong?

[morgenschweis]

Blixa Bargeld singing the song "Tomorrow Belongs to Me" from the movie "Cabaret".

[labanlieusarde09]

I wish I were his wife , even if I am too young for him .

[mamamiminga]

i totally agree with you

[oyshema]

*sigh*, i know how you feel ladies. though i never thought i would admit it in a public forum. once i saw you two, however, i couldn't resist. misery loves company, eh?

[victoriandeadwoods]

I understand you completely. I am so enthralled by Blixa Bargeld.

[W4RW017]

Same here, I was convinced I where never gonna become a hardcore fan to anyband but damn. Blixa and Einstürzende have completele stole my hearth.

[DETERSTOMP]

if I did not look like me I would want to look like Blixa

[victoriandeadwoods]

I understand you perfectly!

[victoriandeadwoods]

Does anyone know what the lyrics are? 'Cuz I can't find them.

[Satori19]

I have to say that Blixa here is the definition of 'cute'. And it's a really fitting song for him. Thanks for uploading! I would really love to have a good mp3 of this...anybody got the master tape of this show?? =)

[badchannelz]

That clip looks and sounds like it could easily be a scene from a classic Fritz Lang film. It's so piercing and psychological, almost as if the emotional turmoil of German history was captured in that one performance. Nobody else on this planet can do what Blixa does, and it's a shame that people still feel obligated to settle for what they hear on the radio.

[groslucas]

It is the best cover of Claude Francois I have ever heard. To get electrocuted in his bath definitevely gave Claude Francois an artistic boost...I look so much better as Blixa Bargeld. Claude Francois has really made Einsturzende Neubauten one of the best Industrial group of the century!

[teki06]

Blixa is Great!

[Eigrefeht]

This video is like one of those super-creepy inexplicable things you see in a horror movie, playing on a television set late at night in the Haunted/Cursed House right before the person watching half-asleep on the couch gets abruptly beheaded by the stalking axe-murderer or poultergeist or whatever it is.

That said, it's awesome. 5 stars.

[Cureheadlany]

Love him

[curedoll]

I can't believe how moved I am by this. There is something about this song, and then the fantastic Blixa... He sings with such conviction, and that hair! I'm in love.

[MRORiverside]

chilling in its irony: a song of optimism sung by a withered individual. who else could make such an artistic statement about Deutschland ( at the time 1985) through the very act of singing a particular song than Einsturzende Neubauten?!

[matakuka]

The song is kind of dystopic in itself, it came from the "cabaret" musical, expressing the nazi will for domination.

A interesting detail is that Blixa does not sing "Oh Vaterland," (o fatherland) as in the original german translation, but "oh Vater" (Oh father).

Aside from the "optimistic" I frown about; you're absolutely right :-)

[danielhl22]

nice hair

[angiol]

incredibbile XD

[CircusOfHeaven]

ha, classic Blixa

[MysteriumInq]

The lighting in this clip is brilliant. I wish they would stop zooming in...

Blixa's shadow becomes so animated as the clip progresses.

[VonSatan666]

The clip comes from the 1985 documentary "Berlin Now".

[AlysounRI]

Ah, thank you!!! And thanks again for uploading a better quality clip. It is most appreciated!!!

[harajuki]

@VonSatan666 Where can I find that movie? google isnt giving much results... 

[AlysounRI]

Thanks for posting the better quality clip!!! But I still would love to know where this comes from!!! Blixa is the best ....

[BlixaBar]

selbstverständlich wunderbar!
