Blixa Bargeld - Ein Gleiches

[OuterHeaven182]

Sieht aus wie Weimar...

[SasukeTheRipper]

it sounds like Gollum :D

[TheFriedLiverAttack]

is that gay pride?

[mooglisxbg67000]

@TheFriedLiverAttack No this is a country with culture!

[tuxedokiwi]

this band makes me feel the same concentrated power like german gothic and neo folk bands but without the evil part. I love it :P

[isolationeitheror]

look like paul banks(interpol)

[dancingzira]

Blixas voice is so beautiful. Such amazing range. this was glorious.

[bethwenner]

@QueenCrimson1969 It is the same -- Wandrers Nachtlied is just the title for the two of Goethe's poems that are always published together, "Wandrers Nachtlied" and "Ein Gleiches". :)

[mola55e5]

wow... never saw this before

[QueenCrimson1969]

I thought the title of this poem was Wanderers Nachtlied! What's wrong with my university books?

Anyway this is great. I mean, this poem so dark and Mr. Bargeld voice.

[silverrainsquare]

@QueenCrimson1969

Yeah that's the point... it is "Ein gleiches" ( = " a same"), what means, it's just the paraphrased idea of "Ein wanderers Nachtlied" and therefor called "the same" and always printed together with "Ein wanderers Nachtlied".

[QueenCrimson1969]

@silverrainsquare Thanks a lot, everything is clearer now. Cheers.

[volkspark01]

Die beste musikalische Version von "Ein Gleiches" läuft im Abspann von "Operation Walküre".

[morgenschweis]

wunderschön LOVEVA

[strunk100]

just beatiful

[gulagga371]

Very beauteful

[zeerniez]

ich sehe, dass das konzert in weimar auf dem theaterplatz war.

aber weiss jemand wann und zu welchemm anlass?

(ich glaube ARD hat inzwischen ein neues logo)

[muekam]

it took place in 1999 to 250 Goethe's birthday.

[bangaroodong]

no words...just WoW!

[StarsOut27]

es wundert mich doch sehr, dass sich hier alle über stockhausen vs. blixa unterhalten.. für mich steht eher das gedicht von goethe im vordergrund, was durch blixa und die musiker brilliant zur geltung gebracht wird. goethe hats drauf, blixa und stockhausen auch. ist doch egal wer jetzt der prägendere war. immer diese dummen vergleiche.. "der war besser.." "nein der war besser" >:C

[ErikJoeNoise02]

Blixa goes Emo !!! oh my ...

[Reglay]

people who call other people "emo" have probably not yet experienced the beauty and satisfaction that melancholia can bring.. It's hard to understand but it is actually more a state of absent feelings than an overflow of them..

[ErikJoeNoise02]

i was kidding, actually ... and i understood what you meant... still, f**k this emo bulls**t ... but if it suist yourself being an emo defender, go ahead . there are many other people around the world that need to hear your advice. ;-)

[skhooll]

Fuckin brilliant.

[BLIXAENDENEU]

keep your comment for yourselves! you cannot process the works of b.b.

[aerugo49]

Oh, & Blixa Bargeld is a much greater artist than Stockhausen.

[groslucas]

Even if i love very much Einsturzende Neubauten, I think Stockhausen is going farther than Blixa...

I admire the fact that Blixa cannot be qualified as a rock star...he went farther than the swamp of Pop Music...to touch the dimension of Real Art... Sometimes we can find in Neubauten the same Depth as in Classical Music...and he is a wonderful actor...a little bit of Klaus Kinski sometimes

[aerugo49]

I don't agree. I view someone like Stockhausen as maybe having started with good intentions, & certainly with some great ideas. Say St. is a flower, & the flower grows with the weight of his postulating and theorizing - and thus droops to the ground and cuts off its own sunlight. That's what it is like to me, & a lot of the western mind actually. It doesn't impress me. Blixa's music impresses me, because it's intelligent, but not in a pompous way. All great art grows out of the soul.

[aerugo49]

Actually, I feel Stockhausen was so out of line with the statement, even though I understand he was making a comment on art and deconstruction, etc, & had every freedom to do so, that I feel that I forgive much much more the men who flew into the buildings. I forgive them, because they believed they were doing something right and true. But I don't forgive Stockhausen for his statements, because he should have known better.

[groslucas]

I think Stockhausen made a very good statement, it took this mediatic event has a virtual act and remodeled it as an aesthetic action in this virtual world. It shows how he could distanced himself from the real reality...like a buddhist would do.

Anyway we only know 911 from computers and TV, it only exist in these virtual world as Baudrillard would say... The same with the Holocaust...all these major events are only lived through a screen and are reduced to screen reality

[BadYTuber]

Baudrillard was most famous for making the point that interpretations onscreen and in other virtual media consisted of the hyperreality that overshadowed what could be measured concretely by those who had experienced it. But this theory of hearsay also goes back to Immanuel Kant's points about a priori facts, in which experience is replaced with anecdotal evidence. But when we do look for objectivity, adjectives such as "beautiful" are negated. As they say, it's in the eye of the beholder.

[muekam]

anbetungswürdig und gefährlich .

[aerugo49]

i love this hairdo. it shows off his ears. Blixa Bargeld has the nicest ears in the universe.:)

[wiisatina]

And he also has the nicest eyes :)

[iainproclaimer]

do u like big ears

[groslucas]

he looks more and more like Karlheinz Stockhausen...even some of his music could have a little bit of the great german composer influence

[aerugo49]

I don't think he looks like him. Since St. was a noise pioneer, the influence would have been there on Neubauten, as well as other groups. But Blixa looks a lot nicer. It is probably not a good thing to compare the singer for a group referring to collapsing buildings with Stockhausen, who made irresponsible statements about 9/11, calling it a great work of art. I wish to blow up buildings of commerce every day, but I try to prevent myself, & certainly if I gave into it, I'd probably feel bad.:D

[groslucas]

The statements of Stockhausen were a fresh air in this totalitarian obligation of mourning the deads and feeling sad and horrified.

As an artist we could say the explosions were beautiful, the timing was extraordinary like a symphony and the result was a sea of silence in all the USA for few days... An work of art were the artists (the terroristst) gace their life for the performance and part of the audience (the towers dwellers) died for the completion of the Work. NO MORAL just ART!!!!

[groslucas]

Like Nietzsche, the Stockhausen statement were beyond Good & Evil...he killed in the eggs the political statements of the terrorist as well as the manipulation of the western government. None of them could own the event...Stockhausen made it an Artwork.

Bush destroyed artworks from the ancient Babylonian but Stockhausen gave us a new WORK

How beautiful it is for the family of the deads to see their dear one given the immortality of an Artwork...STOCKHAUSEN YOU ARE A GENIUS, A FORGOTTEN POET!

[aerugo49]

If you want to see where Nietzsche's thoughts led him, check out the videos they have on Youtube of his last days. Thing is, is he was like that for 11 years & they can't figure out why, because people with syphilis don't go mad for such prolonged periods. Guess what?? Nietzsche took a wrong turn somewhere along the road, & he was purely insane. He was always insane. His thought, while smattered with poetic genius, doesn't quite hold together.

[Watabird]

@aerugo49 Yeah it sorta makes him look like an elf. lol

[packofcigarets]

I would guess it took place in 1999 to commemorate 250 Goethe's birthday. It is in Weimar.

Beautiful presentation of a masterpiece.

[expressdual1]

what date was this performance? wann genau war diese performance?

super super super!!!

[blackbasset]

wonderful piece of music... has this song actually been recorded and released? i just need to get it in better quality than youtube's...:)

[janitor03]

Amazing. Love the guy. When was this?

[Delices]

awesome, as usual...

[Psychonaut1125]

ale chujowe

[CircusOfHeaven]

wow, great!

[hansskastorps]

excellent

[cinnmcrickson]

blixa is MARVELOUS!

..but what is this song in english? i'm sorry, i don't speak german..

[KaumEinenHauch]

Read up on international literary history. This poem is by

legendary German poet Johann Wolfgang von Goethe: Following is the poem and a translation. EIN GLEICHES Über allen Gipfeln

ist Ruh/ in allen Wipfeln/

spürest du/ kaum einen Hauch;

Die Vögelein schweigen im Walde./

Warte nur, balde/ ruhest du auch.

SAMENESS

Over all hilltops/ is peace/ in all the treetops/ you feel barely a breeze;/

The birds in the forest have/ stopped their song/ Wait, before long/ you too will be still.

[fedbymum]

Skön låt,schysst att Wydler sitter vid trumsetet.

[crazykumpel]

der*

[crazykumpel]

ner name ist schon eigenartig xD

[wiaratka]

muzyka czuje w sobie BLIXE!Pana wrażliwość jest nie z tego świata- przyciąganie nie ziemskie.NIESAMOWITE!!!!!!

[pillorello]

and the bad seed Thomas Wydler plays the drums...

[Bailema1]

Wonderful performance...and soooo, so sexy. Goethe + Blixa. I am so grateful.

[therealhypnoskull]

unfortunately even lots of germans will only know how big blixa bargeld was when he will be dead... listening to his lyrics and texts, he's one of the giants of german literature, music and culture as such NOW. just my opinion.

[vokare]

Blixa is the sexiest man i have ever seen

[mzfiguer]

is he sexy or what?

[joannawashere]

I just can't get over the big blue eyes, smoky crooning voice, and meticulousness in every expression and movement. This man is a mad genius, and it's no wonder he and Nick Cave found each other. I wish they would both just tour together.

[vinikov]

NEUBATEN FOREVER

[lesgregor]

goethe was also a great genius, truly the last polymath to walk the earth!

[1975leolion]

this the song to the eponymous short film (1998) shown on the Berlinale.

Very rarely performed.

Thanks for this. Blixa Bargeld has undeniably something that confines to genius

[melandin101]

thank you very much.

i thought something like that, but wanted to make it clear)

a bit disappointed, because if Blixa himself had written it, it would be the last drop in my love to him, something like culmination

but he's a Great Artist and this performance is another provement

[melandin101]

tell me please, anyone who knows for sure: is it Blixa's song, i mean has he written it? or is it a cover or something like that?

[xn0153x]

nick cave is SOOOO nothing without him

[quimkaos]

lol cave is nothing without him...

[el1sid]

he is great ... but Cave still better

[lesgregor]

that was goethe not beethoven

[subnahallahOlga]

Blixi te amooooooooooooo  ;x

[dipsizkuyu1]

viva blixa!

[Sincuedom]

Einstrüzende Nauebauten! Künster der Besten Art.

[armchair2pt0]

The cutaway to the bust of Beethoven was perfect. We now know for certain who Blixa was in a past life, as if we couldn't tell already.

[vinikov]

Blixa is God.

[soldateska]

well, I prefer neubauten...

[NoelOphelia]

Thomas Wydler on the drums, ladies and gentlemen!

[wildrosegirl]

this must have got the dopamine whirling in my brain as that usually happens when l've had a few drinks or maybe l died and somehow l made it to heaven !!!

[subnahallahOlga]

sooooooooooooo romantik und sexxxy too.
