Einstuerzende Neubauten - Seele Brennt

[Joshua001A]

Sound quality is really "cloudy" but I still love the video, thanks

[drbolz]

no actual butterflies were harmed in the making of this music video.

[Nutzer00name]

Ich bin die umstürzlerische Liebe der Gegensex Jeder Tag kostet mich Wunden dabei bin ich schon jetzt zerschunden und völlig blutverschmiert Du fängst im Taxi an zu heulen bloss weil ich sage dass ich bei dem Konsum in zwei Jahren tot bin Alle Idole müssen sterben (Lachen) meine Seele brennt Ich versteck mich, sitz in meinem Loch und warte auf die Träume, die mich retten (Kommen nicht)

[Nutzer00name]

Liebe ist ein Scheiterhaufen auf dem ich langsam aber sicher von innen her zum Rand verbrenne Ich hab gekostet bin zu weit gegangen werd den Geschmack nicht los Vielleicht ist nur entzündet vielleicht ist nur entzündet, was da brennt An Stelle meiner Seele an der Stelle meiner Seele

[wegladlyperish]

poisoning an animal and watching it die.

calling it art?! what a fuckin extenuation! this is more a murder than everything else.

to you all who are attracted by this, who appreciate this - you think you are creative, sensitive, aesthetic!?!

you are just a bunch of brute fuckwits!

Fuck off and die!

[ringelblume11]

watch out. i bet you killed an army of insects.

[wegladlyperish]

@ringelblume11 there's a difference between killing an animal intentionally and enjoying to watch it die a slow death and killing an animal accidentally. under all reasons to kill the one to amuse yourself and others is the most despicable.

[Noisehain]

Loslassen, Ruhe und Pause!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[desastermaster2010]

du fängst im taxi an zu heulen,nur weil ich sage,daß ich bei dem konsum in 2 jahren tot bin.....alle idole müssen sterben.....

[LySeRgIa2]

I saw a butterfly so I sprayed it with wasp spray...not for a music video but because i felt like it. It's pretty but it's a bug, quit exaggerating lol.

[ciceley100]

yes it really was... it's still .....

[lukeisareilly]

That first scream is perhaps my favourite piece of vocal work in any song

[Salatta666]

2:27 he-heee

[FFWDproject]

vaya mierda de video

[ChildishKit]

you should do the same to the human capturing that poor creature...

it's kinda great art but i feel like crying..

[hzcenick]

@ChildishKit that's the idea. :)

[telegramsam]

@ChildishKit LEPIDOPTERA ABUSE!

Great song though.

[Andreite25]

J'adore :)

[beowulven]

Fuck a butterfly.

[manu677]

animal abuse! :(

[putridsexobject]

This video is sad, is a dog or a cat was treated cruely it would be a big deal, but because itssomething as simple as abutterfly people just shrug it off

That being said, EN and fucking brilliant :)

[weholdparties]

@putridsexobject I agree. I find it difficult to sit on either side of this issue. On the one hand, it is most certainly cruel to trap an animal, but on the other, it's a momentary trauma and the butterfly didn't seem to be harmed in any way (although who knows how hot the glass was with all that light on it) and the end result is a beautiful (albeit tragic) representation of the song. So I'm torn. I'm not in favor of it obviously, but torn none the less.

[nellynelly1305]

The song Gives u goosebumps! The video is cruel n creepy....

[NicolaRedwooddforest]

Let the butterfly out.

[adetik1]

@NicolaRedwooddforest  Go piss it.

[nadirzenit]

one of the most incredible album of the history

[Herzstein666]

Armes Ding... Aber die Menschen hören erst im Angesicht des Schreckens richtig zu...

[skidotcom1]

best song ever? maybe....

[menschmeier1985]

wow whate a faboulus video *lol*

how high were the production costs? 10 million? 100m million?

[Davelopper]

incredible album ,I had it on K7 (tape) I w&s listening to it night and day

this song is truely fantastic

[ElizabethBundy]

that bothered me to my core and i have no idea why.

[NicolaRedwooddforest]

@ElizabethBundy I feel the same way. It's my favorite song but the video is stained with cruelty. I can't stand seeing an individual suffer. I always immediately catch butterflies and release them into safety.

[cheddarpuff]

i can't watch this. poor butterlfy. this makes me angry.

[mansonswhore]

der text is der wahnsinn. genau die art von lyrik die mich anspricht. und die art wie einstürzende neubauten mit musik/geräuschen/lärm experimentieren ist sowieso hammer. gibt es kein zweites mal.

[tracycj2001]

Life is a struggle. It suffucates you with its complexity.

[ToLayLikeAFragment]

Awesome song! I think this is my favourite Neubauten's song!

[caillou1966]

In the end of the day, it is all about death; the rest is just a circus, but we find it to difficult to admit it.

[stylesuxx23]

@caillou1966 no it is all about the circus, death results from it, but that`s OK!

[pintalnisto]

no copyright problerms ,,,this is history

[zachamus]

why doesn't it just fly out?

[hzcenick]

The glass is your body, the butterfly is your soul. That's the way I see it. :) We are trapped in our bodies.

[Veit81]

@zachamus , just ask him!

[katrastrophy]

OMG....look out....he he.

[Varutras]

Peter Sempel? I thought this was by Ishii Sogo as he did the rest of the 1/2 Mensch video. And dont worry about the butterfly, it was released afterwards...

[anzay27317]

are you sure they released the butterfly?

[ExMachine]

Yes, but it was eaten by a toad.

[idleinthoughts]

I think no song has captured the idea of death better than this! Brilliant!

[AQNG58]

Fun vid to share with PETA folks.

[beatlegirl61]

@AQNG58 hehe

[Kartofflesalad]

While I was watching this I began to wonder. My first reaction was sympathy for the butterfly, yet even if it was saved. it doesn't matter. the thing would never effect me in my life. The only attraction is aesthetic. Yet I still feel that I would take the glass, and throw it, not knowing if the impact would kill it or not. Is that an act of compassion for the insect, giving it a faster decision, or is it something else? ...

[sickosandsuch]

It's merely a way of living.

[WolfExentro]

This song is great!!

[Drachenglaube]

einstürzende neubauten...... oh ja... die haben einen wichtigen grundstein für die dunkle musik gelegt.

selbst heute... höre ich sie immer noch

sehr gerne.....

[mySLICKname]

chorus says

"Instead of my soul...in the place of my soul, my soul burns... my SOUL BURNS!!!"

[Elddrake]

Divine

[mawsek]

awesome

[alexundsveni]

xsorry but this song is only german text

[toegam11]

OMG I'm not the only one!

[moresandman2]

heyyy theres a song that EN has that has a part in spanish that goes "nosotros nos tomamos" or something like that. Does anyone know the name of that fucking song? i have to find out please its the shiiit

[modguy1979]

The song is called Bili Rubin.

[oyshema]

the only neubauten song in spanish i can think of is called "bili rubin." that might be it...i think its the last track on ende neu.

[Oneiroi729]

FUCKING SHIT THIS IS INTENSE!!!!

[gianlucabosi91]

"meine seele brennt": "la mia anima brucia". La farfalla rappresenta l'anima, il bicchiere la prigione del nostro corpo, il limite della nostra condizione. Strepitoso il video; insuperabile la musica, divina.

[suzanevasconcelos]

creuel. d+

[themodesart]

io l ho trovato un video di orrido gusto.

[ghostalks]

Those shrieks.

[absurdaSie]

Che video!

[tmafkap]

Poesie... verkostet, übertrieben, vertrieben, bekannt gemacht, verkannt verlacht..

[olanderj]

I just remembered how absolutely fucking fantastic this song was...

[Kusoneja]

Das moment in der Video wo mann das Licht durch das Glas scheinen sieht, ist fast eine Christliche gedanke, das licht sehen via Spiegel und Rätsel in eine Art Beschränkung.

[Kusoneja]

Ich hoffe das dieser Schmetterling nur für einige minuten eingeschlossen gewesen ist. Wenn ich fliege oder spinnen etc im Haus habe: ein glas darüber, ein starkes papier runterschieben, und ich bringe sie nach draussen.

[fridayfred222]

Sympathy for the moth.

[kender121]

dieser schmetterling .. ist für diese aufnahem gefangen nicht seine lebenkang wie tiere die ihr in zoos begaffen geht oder gar eure haustiere ..

[jannaharttgen]

Wer schreibt, dass ihm dieser Schmetterling leid tut, der müsste eigentlich auch täglich vor den Zoos dieser Welt protestieren. Was ist ein verfetteter und fauler Tiger/Eisbär, etc. auf wenigen Quadratmetern anderes als ein Schmetterling im Glas!? Wie leicht ist nur entzündet, was da brennt! Blixa ist ein Künstler. Das sind keine "Dummheiten", die jemand stoned produziert hat. Das ist grandios! Punkt.

[Prevershi]

Oh ein Schmetterling in einem Glas, welch schreckliche Tierquälerei.

Übertreibts mal nicht mit eurem möchtegern Mitgefühl, wer hat denn als Kind nicht irgendwelche Insekten zur Beobachtung in ein Glas gesteckt?

Außerdem ist fraglich, wieviel ein Insekt, das recht einfach von der Anatomie her gebaut ist, überhaupt von dieser "Gefangennahme" mitbekommt.

Ich nenne es Kunst, da kann wer sagen was er will.

[FormatMenschExE]

Es sieht für mich auch nach einer Lampe aus, die hoffentlich das Glas nicht allzu sehr erhitzt.

[beckslemon007]

There is nothing burning. It's just back light.

... wie leicht ist doch entzündet was da brennt...

[karpfen0mit0hut]

Ich bin hin und hergerissen zwischen Tierquälerei und wahrer Kunst...

[Snowych]

Ich auch!

[heatedfrost]

einsturzende neubauten is amazing and haunting, but... i always figured if you wanna kill something, just fucking do it. burning a butterfly for 5:30 is not worth it for the artistic purpose

[Butzze07]

Blixa for Bundeskanzler!

[letztesBiestamHimmel]

Thanks for this

It is a great song but this video is terrible I don't mean bad but you know...this poor butterfly... It is a bit sadistic don't you think? And Blixa is the only person I can forgive this

[cowboystitching]

Blame Peter Sempel, he made the damn video.

[Grinsekatzentier]

Einfach nur asozial! Auch die Kunst hat kein Recht auf Tierquälerei. Gerne hätte ich dem Kameramann/Künstler/Perverslin­g - oder wie auch immer das Glas ins Gesicht geworfen - das wäre noch viel interessanter geworden! Kranke Menschheit!!!

[StarsOut27]

Es gibt noch viel perversere Videos auf youtube.

[Grinsekatzentier]

Leider! Mich regen einfach nur die Leute auf, die sich daran aufgeilen! Wie Blixa das Video heute beurteilen würde, wäre interessant zu wissen. Er gibt ja gerne zu, damals ne Menge unter Drogen gemacht zu haben...

Ja - mir tut sogar ein Schmetterling leid!

[ramm69stein]

very interesting

[Cureheadlany]

Butterfly's soul is that's sound.

[efflagitatio]

brutal

[Prevershi]

DAS ist wahre Kunst!!!

[lunkdragon]

Oh God, this is simply amazing.

The scream, the cry - I'm falling in love with Blixa's voice . . .

[Barbaricfellow]

One of my fav tracks.. Dunno about the vid really...)

[katrastrophy]

I CAN HEAR THE BUTTERFLY SCREAM.....

[eisdorne]

:)

I can too

it's painful

[deadtoy]

@eisdorne not painful. LOVELY. Thanks Blixa.

[Jamestaylorx]

Thanks so much for posting this. first time I've seen since 1984/85 at a cinema in Hamburg when I lived there. Very happy memories!

[BertrandDeBorn]

One of my all-time favourite EN tracks. Real nice to see the video to it.

[Biollo]

sei un grande, ottimi sti video. ora come ora gli einstürzende neubauten sono la mia band preferita... troppo tosti. avanguardia pura. sto video è un qualcosa d'allucinante.

[BiotoxXxx]

Thank you very very much for the videos.

[CircusOfHeaven]

what did they actually do to the butterfly?

[CreamyLover]

This song kind of makes me think of gallows. At least the drums in the beginning do. I keep thinking of Hoist The Colors. I'm weird. But really a great song, I love the screech. (It's fun to do)

[OtakudiMD80]

Great song

THX eisdorne!

[PPJnet]

thank you so much!

[Malin242]

Thank you for posting this!

Do you have more rare EN videos? ;)

[eisdorne]

This the most rare EN video I have

If I'll have more, I will upload

I just uploaded a Trinklied clip if you're interested, check it out among my videos

[Abraxas80]

oh yeah, please post trinklied, it is one of my favourites
