Most people fail the "ch" the"w" and the "au". Of course most of the people can't say the "Umlauts" exactly.
I don't know which letters exist in the arabic language but maybe it's easier for you knowing the sounds of them.
You managed to make it right in 90% of everything. But don't worry German isn't easy and I am German and sometimes I even can't speak my own language ;-)
I know that the 'ch' in our language is pretty hard to say for not native speakers ;) ( IS THIS EVEN ENGLISH :DDD ???) and like i said you really really really (and so on..:D) sound pretty good for never actually studying german.
And i would love to hear some more german stuff from you ;))
keep up your great work !!!!!!

(BTW. my youtube name means egghead in english XDDD just so you know)
Although missing the flutes (but hey, it's all about the lyrics here) this is pretty awesome! :) (I am Austrian -- this is pretty much the same like German.)
Faun themselves have lots of songs in several languages and I often can tell that they themselves put more (wrong) accent into some of those songs. So I guess it even would have been fine if you did a worse job, because I enjoy hearing the accentual aspect the other way round this time.
@Kapryagos Would've been awesome if I could've gotten my hands on some flutes! hehe But thank you so much for your encouragment and comment! I was so pissed with some words in my German, like " nicht" I could've said it right, but i didnt.grrr..hehe. But glad I didn't truly butcher the song! woho!
Seems that you heard this many times so far BUT: This is awesome. The harmonics, the pronunciation, the percussion. I'm also a German speaker and you can't hear any accent except for some tiny, tiny parts. But I think this make the hole thing even more beautiful.
And Faun are making so many lovely pieces. Perhaps you'll do something German again!
@Noradne I feel soo relieved when German speakers tell me it wasn't so bad! lol.
I think I can hear the few words you're talking about because after listening to the song again , I can pick up things I said wrong. hehe. especially " nicht"...i said it sooo wrong....although I CAN say it correctly...darn it! xD
Oooh, I must keep up with Faun more often! I only know 3 songs for them since I was introduced to them very recently :-)
Thank you SOOO much for your encouragment and comments!
Your pronounciation is better than some people from other lands, that are living in Germany for a few years. I'm actually german. This is one of your best covers so far ! Your harmonies are very well placed, too! :) Keep it up! Great Work !!
@DxEierkopfXD HAHAHAH, really!? I hated the way I said " nicht" i know how to say it now, though! Thank you so much for your hearfelt comments! it's nice to see people actually follow my covers and tell me which are better or if i'm improving. :-)
No I didnt write the lyrics..it's a song by the german folkband FAUN..so the lyrics were already written. theres no way i can write german lyrics when i dont know the language. lol. it would've been a disaster on my part! loool.
And somehow your German was better understandable when you were doing it a capella on Skype, but I can still tell how much effort you put in it. For someone so unfamiliar with Germanic languages other than English, you did very well! You should have heard me stutter out German yesterday XD. *huggles*
Maybe because singing without harmonies and all made it all the more clear?
Besides, you're not a German speaker so no wonder you'll strain to understand xD All the German speakers here said they could understand perfectly so I'll let this pass :-P
Sorry Reem, I had been so busy this weekend I did not watch a single YouTube video. But I am here nao!
Your arrangement harmonies are awesome again! That really is your strong suit! I also love that you kept the drums so subtle.
Now the lesser things: I spotted a mixing or recording failure at 2:40-2:44, where the velocity supercedes the 0 dB treshold and the audio starts to clip.
I am just listening to the original song and I think your way to pronounce the words fit teh atmosphere better :3 (btw I'm a native speaker) It somehow feels better.
This is surely a beautiful song, I'm glad you sang it :D
I mean to be honest, i was really worried with how I said things, and at one point I had to get over that and try my best to feel the words more( they're so lovely).
You haunt me... SO MUCH... with this... T_T And good God woman, I am jealous to the high heavens of your superior harmonizing abilities... -RIPS OUT YOUR THROAT-
You should totally listen to the original! IT beans mine hands down, lol. The band is quite awesome and brilliant with this song, especially the lead singer.
Thank you sooo much for listening! I'm so glad my German wasn't too bad!
I'm so jealous of your ability to arrange harmonies so beautifully! This is wonderful, very haunting and mesmorising! 5* darling, as always of course!
Hallo Lady, ich bin auch aus Deutschland (Germany), hab zwar erst nicht bemerkt dass du deutsch singst (da nicht erwartet), aber als ich dann drauf geachtet hab hab ich auch gemerkt, dass mans eigtl sehr gut versteht^^
I'm not German, no, as you've assumed nor do I understand it much xD I think I'd like to learn in though!!!
I understood a little of what you said. Other than saying Youre also German, you said you didnt know i can sing german...and....you respect that...and...that's it..lol...teach me?
Yes I wrote that I'm from Germanyand that I didn't notice at once that you were singing in german because I didn't expect it (didn't realize the title is german xD), but when I listened closer I realized it and could understand it very well :-)
I like it when non-germans speak german, it sounds much smother and melodic as when germans speak it xD we are to harsh (hard? whatever?^^) to sound that good^^
I always thought German was a tough and hard language, but the original of this song by Faun proved to me that it didnt always have to be! You should listen to it..it's mesmerizing!
Omg, this has to be one of my favorites from you! ^_^ You're voice is one of the most beautiful ones I've heard and your layering skills are amazing :) And the drums were great the way they were! Don't ever stop singing :D
Whew! Coming from a German, I'm HONORED! Thank you so much Anna!
Yeah, I had to make the drums subtle cuz the drums I have arent the best quality and dont make the best sound, so had to keep them at a certain minimum!
WoooWeee ... This Was Uploaded At 6Pm My Time Reem.. Inspiration Must have hit you hard to upload this at 4 In the mornin ^.^, and for good things as well, This is simply beautiful... Eep I Loved The Drums In this song... Now I wish I could cover some drums for you... ^.^ You did a wonderful Job
Thank you SO much! That makes me feel like I've actually been improving all this time here! ^__^
I think you're correct,too. I think I've advanced so much since my 1st cover with this. Plus, this is sung in my most comfortable range so I had loads of fun with it ! hehe
I read your email a little while ago while uploading this, and then fell asleep before putting the info and listening to ur cover! omg! I'll do so now! so terribly sorry!
This is spectacular, what language is it in? I couldn't make it out. I especially love the wind blowing in the background, it definately adds an extra element of mystery.
