Sopor Aeternus - La Mort d`Arthur

[Consolatrix4]

Yeah, the coldness. But I also think her mom could be comparing her to a frog because frogs are amphibians and remember these Anna's words? : "bin weder Mann, noch bin ich Frau." (I'm neither male nor female)

[12chOMbo05]

Contodea is man

[LivOdinArt]

One of my favourite ones, really great!

[TheAerochick13]

Probably my favorite Sopor Aeternus song of all time.

[9Equinox]

What is it meant by "La Mort"? In what language is it? Was it supposed to be the French "LE MortE" or what?

[myiaikawa]

@9Equinox no, 'mort' is a feminine word and takes the feminine definite article 'la'.

there's a book called "Le Morte d'Arthur", but the author made a mistake os just wrote the title this way for stylistic reasons.

[9Equinox]

@myiaikawa I see... Thanks!!

[seonoro]

paso a la reina de los condenados inclinaros!



[DaniTyranecia]

Her music is surprisingly dark. And for some reason, I love it. Fell in love with this song.

Ironically, we're studying king Arthur in school right now. For those of you who don't know, La Morte D'Athur is the story of king Arthur written by a guy who went crazy. ;)

Actually, this song really freaks me out. But it's still great

[Threetails]

@DaniTyranecia Yes, Sir Thomas Mallory, whose name in French means "Unlucky" or "ill-omened." Very creepy layers here!

[DaniTyranecia]

@Threetails It's so interesting for you to reply at this time, because my dad just asked me why I liked this song. ;) Seriously, whoever says coincidences aren't real is crazy

[Enleuk]

@DaniTyranecia Coincidences are real. They are coincidences.

[cantgetme92]

this may be my new favorite song :) I LOVE it

[dimocritus]

hm... Angry Birds? %)))

[leiinhard]

el cuate esta hecho un racimo de mierda



[johnzevanz]

Adorable Instrumental. ♥

[MeisterMozart]

ICH LIEBE ES !!!

[MadMike8989]

Awesome. This is crazy and different. Listening to this stuff is a good escape. It puts you in a different world.

[kmaryam22]

So if I have cold hands, that means I'm like a frog; cold blooded and slimy? And I'm incapable of feeling love/ will never have a lover?

Wow, that's harsh. Great song.

[freek4uall]

Die Fröschelein, die Fröschelein,

die sind ein lustig Chor.

Sie haben ja, sie haben ja,

kein Schwänzchen und kein Ohr...

first class

[satanicwitch]

Aaah I love this song <3

[chocolatemainecoon]

I love it when Anna said "And as she held me in her tow" she sounds really expressive!

[Sinietan]

sick and crazy, awesome !

[theraretype123]

WTF!!!! with the skeleton????!!!!!

[AngelofMusic101]

She looks like she has cancer. Still love the music, though.

[rococoness]

@AngelofMusic101 LOL

[daminella]

KIIIIIIINDEEEER. xD

[Algernon483]

I thought that Anna's mother compared Anna to frogs, because they are androgynous.

"Sie haben ja kein Schwänzchen und kein Ohr"(they don't have a tail and an ear)

[MoonundMoon]

@Algernon483 Yes, you are correct. It is also a reference to being cold-hearted.

[vikernesdead]

que es eso?

hombre o vieja??????????

[dbgl140293]

@vikernesdead ignorant

[morrigangoule]

I absolutely love how expressive is Anna's voice. Sopor Aeternus takes me to another world.

[Valkoisen]

what a weird band!

i love it tho.. how its called this musical genre?

[Runnersfree]

@Valkoisen Her style is called Gothic Chinese Opera ^_^

[Runnersfree]

@Valkoisen Her style is called Gothic Chinese Opera ^_^

[adriannippy]

A true artist. Defies convention. Defies tradition. But pays homage to it .

[TheOpenmindead]

the frog is the mankind, in my opinion.

[mortisseur]

I really want to know if Anna had learnt music in a classical music school, or something like that, because Her music is soooo beautifull to listenning....Maybe She practises music since a very long time.She my favorite artist.

[within17220]

Je viens de découvrir le morceau et j'adore!!!

[ladyopeth]

i lov u!!!!!!!!!!

[Djedefra]

Most people say that people who listen to this music are weird and freaks. But I love this kind of music, and if you read the comments and discussions, you see that this kind of musics makes you start to think about certain things in life, you get kind of "filosofic", you start to think about the meaning or the hidden symbols in this poem. it's more than just "a song", and that is according to me a sign of intelligence and not of "being a freak".

[Kennett17]

@Djedefra philosophical?

[Djedefra]

@Kennett17

jep.

Such music let's you enjoy, or think about some things. Although it does to me.

[Algernon483]

I think that the frog (Fröschelein) is a symbol of Anna. Frogs are asexual or sexless and that's Anna too.

[Resifreak90]

Normally I'm really tolarant but that "thing" is just...ugly. The music is interesting though.

[nightmarelab]

Hey, your transcition effects are awesome!

[necronominate]

I like Sopor she has such cool music and visual aspects!

[SamSnuffle]

Ew, I was sent this song by a friend, I cannot describe the nightmares I'm going to have from now on, put simply, what the hell - this isn't art, this is epic failure..

[SamSnuffle]

@dummeskind000 As a matter of fact I don't listen to Nickelback, but even for those who do and dislike this music, Nickelback actually have albums well known and respected on iTunes and various other forms of purchasing music

[cartmandakurai]

@SamSnuffle

'Respected on iTunes'

I laughed.

[SamSnuffle]

@dummeskind000 Well actually yes, I don't know if you've noticed but those artists do tend to have their messages heard more. Mind you, I don't think the mass market would appreciate this type of music without generating some sort of extreme depression or some other terrible lifestyle, maybe it's best this particular "singer" (:S) stays out of the limelight

[LUCKYoriginalRED]

f**king beautiful... I've been listening to Anna's songs for a couple of weeks now... I'm just learning about her work, even though I stumbled across her music about a year ago... it's pure genius... works of art... such complex, flawless entities her songs... geeeez I can't get enough....

0:45 a poetic still, 1:00 pretty quiet, it gets you ready for the outburst of a genius at it's best at 1:17, and then again at 1:57... such complexity in just 3 minutes... slap me silly and call me stupid!

[2lioncobra]

good description! i'm a recent fan and have been blown away by this music. i play itheir CDs every day... i think the group is ahead of its time musically -- how else can it be explained? oh, and i'm pushing age 49..

[LUCKYoriginalRED]

2lioncobra, thanks for the appreciation towards my comment.... there's no their CDs:) there's just a her CDs thought you should know it's a kinna one woman band.... there is no band she's doing all the work :) I'm still blown away by her work and always will be ... it's impeccable... pure genius! Anna Varney Cantodea kicks ass big time... just listen to the begining of this song, it just grabs ahold of you ... such poetry ... what entities, her songs :)

[Garlic17Hater91]

xD Die Kinderschokolade war das Tüpfelchen auf dem I.

[KamiwanMUFFINS]

I love this song! <33333

[don98795]

[MedelliaGray]

Uno de los mejores artistas (porque más que músico es artista, sus obras son puro arte) de todos los tiempos, epocas, estilos....

[slaanesh007]

uno de mis temas favoritos...verdadero arte

[VDOcollector]

the lyrics are so creepy. i can feel my own creepy mother (yes, my mother is creepy) doing something like this.

[MrsGreenKiwi]

@VDOcollector where are these lyrics please ?

[noPity]

Such a beautiful song...

Great recopilation of her pictures! *-*

[rotutube]

for her I would become a necrophiliac!

[B3l1Cool]

@rotutube for her you should preform suicide right now.. : | I hate when people can't be what they should be! when they can't think with they own head, you don't need someone to follow/copy/imitate him

[rotutube]

@B3l1Cool Uhm.......I,m not the one dwelling in sadness as says in your pro. So I think suicide would be more your thing! Further more people who can think with their own head would see my comment as the compliment is is! cheers darling!!!

[B3l1Cool]

@rotutube I know that your comment was a compliment, but there are different kind of people, some of them would really do suicide for stupid ideals etc.. Don't get me wrong, peace.

[psykoced666]

@rotutube i think it's a man... or not...

[alienpredatorkiller]

this a beautifull and darkness song i love this genere eterofunebral is my life or my life is dead the other song i like is feast of blood

[Moon374]

In Germany its a seldom used nursery rhyme

"Grüne Augen Froschnatur"

"Green eyes ""frognature"" "

Froschnatur means thats a person is a cold , emotionless or slightly emotive person

green eyes like a frog ^.^

You are like a frog a frog without "emotions"

pretty stupid ^^

Sopor Aeternus shortens the nursery rhyme

its a longer story if someone really cares send me a message ^^

i hope this interests anyone ^^

[vampfreakgaby]

I would really like to know more please:D

[Moon374]

Cold Hands "Frognature" !!

not even a suggestion of love

Has cold hands are "Frognature"

no from the Love no suggestion

The froggys the froggys

thats an funny choir

they had (yes...) they had (yes...)

no taily and no ear

Untranslateable x.X crappy but here thats what they sing ^^

[MaledictionAndPrayer]

It´s based in Sir Thomas Malory´s poem, so maybe in the text there is a reason for this.. I have no idea.. Thanks for translate it anyway!!

[MegaUpstairs]

@MaledictionAndPrayer : The second part "had no taily and no ear" is a funny answer from AVC, 30-40 years later. The meaning: Frogs are funny, because they have no tail (this refers to the transsexuality of AVC), and because they have no ears (AVC is very disstatisfied with her ear, nose and bottom)

This music is about the reinterpretation of an old bad experience, placing it into a funny context. This is method in psychotherapy.

[ijustpostcomments]

@MaledictionAndPrayer The word for "tail" mentioned above can also mean "penis", I think, actually. If that helps.

[LaDixFawkes]

I've never heard that part in the song before!

We have that song/nursery rhyme in Sweden aswell, it's one of those songs everyone knows.. I had no idea there was a German version!

This really adds depth to the song, thanks :)

[martini250]

@Moon374 -sheer genius! What kind of upbringing produces an individual like this? Hopefully we will get a life story some day.

[victoriavampira]

I LOVE THIS SONG... REal art, real beuty.... i feel strong
