Tristan has an army and so does Rammstein

Rammstein - Armee der Tristen

Armee der Tristen

Rammstein

Bist du traurig, so wie ich
Dir laufen Tränen vom Gesicht
Komm zu uns und reih dich ein
Wir wollen zusammen traurig sein

Komm mit, komm mit

Warum stehst du noch am Rande
Reih dich ein in unsere Bande
Wenn wir dann im Trist marschieren
Gar nichts, nichts kann dir passieren

Hand in Hand, nie mehr allein
Hand in Hand, kein Blick zurück
Komm, wir schließen unsere Reihen
Marschieren im Gleichschritt gegen Glück

Komm mit, reih dich ein
Komm mit, im Gleichschritt
Komm mit, reih dich ein und
Komm mit, im Gleichschritt

Depressiv, betrübt, zerschlagen
Sollten wir zusammen verzagen
Deprimiert und melancholisch
Pessimistisch, diabolisch
Gründen auf verblühten Rosen
Die Partei der Hoffnungslosen
Werde Mitglied, trete ein
Jeder darf es sein
Herein

Hand in Hand, nie mehr allein
Hand in Hand, kein Blick zurück
Komm, wir schließen unsre Reihen
Marschieren im Gleichschritt gegen Glück

Komm mit, reih dich ein
Komm mit, im Gleichschritt
Komm mit, reih dich ein und
Komm mit, im Gleichschritt

Rammstein - Armee der Tristen (English Translation) Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Are you sad like me?
Tears are running down your face?
Come join us and get in line
We want to be sad together

[Bridge]
(Come with me)
(Come with me)

[Verse 2]
Why are you still standing at the sidelines?
Get in line with our gang
If we then march in sadness
Nothing at all, nothing can happen to you

[Chorus]
Hand in hand, never alone again
Hand in hand, no looking back
Come on, we are closing our ranks
Marching in lockstep against luck

[Post-Chorus]
(Come with me) Get in line
(Come with me) In lockstep
(Come with mе) Get in line and
Come with mе in lockstep

[Verse 3]
Depressively, saddened, shattered
Should we despair together
Depressed and melancholic
Pessimistic, diabolical
We are grounding on withered roses
The Party of the Hopeless
Become a member, join
Anyone can be, come in!

[Chorus]
Hand in hand, never alone again (Come with me)
Hand in hand, no looking back
Come on, we are closing our ranks
Marching in lockstep against luck

[Post-Chorus]
(Come with me) Get in line
(Come with me) In lockstep
(Come with me) Get in line and
Come with me in lockstep

Let’s look at the natal chart of Till Lindemann of Rammstein

I’m particularly looking forward to this exploration as Till is so very Scorpio or Pluto to me. His band’s work plays with the taboo and horror. They are very funny and known for their use of fire in their performance. Rammstein are shocking and full of surprises. They take their creativity very seriously and must be unusually disciplined to achieve their very unique dance metal sound. Rammstein are also from the very unfortunate and severely oppressed country once known as East Germany. Will we see these realities in Till’s chart?

Here already, we see the unusual discipline and ambition which must be necessary to be someone as superlative as Till. His Sun is in Capricorn. This can be a dour placement but it can also lead to great discipline and achievement if this sometimes painful energy can be harnessed.

Sun is in a harmonious sextile with Jupiter (benevolence, knowledge) in Pisces (spirit). This expands his fame. Jupiter is conjunct Chiron (wounds, healing). Anyone can see that Till is driven by deep pain. It helps him make achievements.

Till also has a harmonious aspect with a massive stellium (grouping of “planets”) involving Uranus and Pluto. There you can clearly see the shocks and revolution fueling his fame and identity. Uranus can also be a quirky funny energy. It rules technology. Rammstein use plenty of technology (Uranus in Virgo) with enormous skill (Sun in Capricorn).

A trine between Pluto in Virgo (service) and Till’s Sun is a perfect reflection of what we see. It’s not always the easiest but Till and Rammstein dredge up the dark, secret and sexy things.

Uranus and Pluto are already a revolutionary pairing. Anyone around Till’s age will find Uranus/Pluto in Virgo in their natal charts. I would look out for people this age to help us during these times of very necessary great change. If we can well manage these potent energies, we have the power to effect benevolent transformation.

In Till’s chart specifically, we find Mars as part of this Uranus/Pluto stellium except Mars (passion) is in Leo (glory, fame). There we see the fire (Mars) in performance (Leo).

Till’s massive stellium in Virgo includes - beyond Pluto/Mars/Uranus - also Ceres (nurturing), Juno (serious relationships, just rule) and Vesta (sacred fire, devotion). To have all of this ardent service energy packed into giving, healing Virgo reminds me of the song Sonne (Sun).

It is also interesting that Mars is trine the Moon. We can expect very turbulent emotions. One of Till’s most memorable songs is “Mein Herz Brennt” (My Heart Burns). This plays out literally here as Till’s Moon is in Taurus - a creative, loving energy ruled by Venus (heart).

Here we go again with Till’s strong Pluto feeling as his Neptune (spirit, music) is in Scorpio (ruled by Mars and Pluto). Till is someone who needs to plumb the depths to express his spirit. We can also see that his immense drive (Scorpio) has a spiritual thrust to it.

What further supports the predominance of Scorpio is that we also find Till’s Venus in Scorpio and it is afflicted. Venus is in difficult aspects with Mars in Leo. This would give off a twisted sex appeal. Venus is also in a difficult aspect with Jupiter/Chiron in Pisces. The pain would be amplified in matters of love and great healing could also come out of it.

This chart shows an extremely deep and spiritually motivated person who can and I’m sure will continue to be a great catalyst in the necessary changes that will be taking place.

"And you're working for no one but me (taxman)"

What a fantastic video about the reality of our situation. Is the Taxman exercising his immense power with responsibility? Would he still be in charge without assassins and mind control and a bought legal system backing him up?

The Beatles - Taxman

Taxman Lyrics

One, two, three, four
One, two (one, two, three, four)

Let me tell you how it will be
There's one for you, nineteen for me
'Cause I'm the taxman
Yeah, I'm the taxman

Should five percent appear too small
Be thankful I don't take it all
'Cause I'm the taxman
Yeah, I'm the taxman

I'll tax the street
(If you try to sit, sit) I'll tax your seat
(If you get too cold, cold) I'll tax the heat
(If you take a walk, walk) I'll tax your feet
(Taxman)

'Cause I'm the taxman
Yeah, I'm the taxman

Don't ask me what I want it for
(Ah, ah, Mr. Wilson)
If you don't want to pay some more
(Ah, ah, Mr. Heath)
'Cause I'm the taxman
Yeah, I'm the taxman

Now my advice for those who die (taxman)
Declare the pennies on your eyes (taxman)
'Cause I'm the taxman
Yeah, I'm the taxman
And you're working for no one but me (taxman)

U2 - Iris (Hold Me Close)

Sending admiration . . . I hope we are just getting started.

"Iris (Hold Me Close)" lyrics

The star
That gives us light
Has been gone a while
But it's not an illusion
The ache
In my heart
Is so much a part of who I am
Something in your eyes
Took a thousand years to get here
Something in your eyes
Took a thousand years, a thousand years

Hold me close, hold me close and don't let me go
Hold me close like I'm someone that you might know
Hold me close the darkness just lets us see
Who we are
I've got your light inside of me
Iris, Iris

Once we are born, we begin to forget
The very reason we came
But you
I'm sure I've met
Long before the night the stars went out
We're meeting up again

Hold me close, hold me close and don't let me go
Hold me close like I'm someone that you might know
Hold me close, the darkness just lets us see
Who we are
I've got your light inside of me
Iris, Iris

The stars are bright but do they know
The universe is beautiful but cold

You took me by the hand
I thought that I was leading you
But it was you made me your man
Machine
I dream
Where you are
Iris standing in the hall
She tells me I can do it all
Iris wakes to my nightmares
Don't fear the world it isn't there

Iris playing on the strand
She buries the boy beneath the sand
Iris says that I will be the death of her
It was not me

Iris, Iris

She says
Free yourself to be yourself, if only you could see yourself
Free yourself to be yourself, if only you could see

Stop Everything! We have a fresh ABBA video.

ABBA - The Name Of The Game

. . .

ABBA is putting on an amazing state of the art show in London. We are always interested in whatever brilliance is forthcoming from this truly magical ensemble. Much love and gratitude for the amazing spirit and heart that they bring to us! This one shot right to my child-of-the-70s heart. ABBA’s been blowing my mind and I cannot wait to see what amazingness is coming next. I’m a total admirer.

Supernatural things are going on and I’m not always aware of everything but I am telepathic and I can be reached in that way. I’m very interested in harmony, genuine sentiment and healing and seeing what possibilities are up ahead. We are on new terrain and thank goodness for that. The previous road was quite the dead end. This is the brave new world.

"The Name Of The Game" lyrics

I've seen you twice, in a short time
Only a week since we started
It seems to me, for every time
I'm getting more open-hearted

I was an impossible case
No-one ever could reach me
But I think I can see in your face
There's a lot you can teach me
So I wanna know..

What's the name of the game?
Does it mean anything to you?
What's the name of the game?
Can you feel it the way I do?
Tell me please, 'cause I have to know
I'm a bashful child, beginning to grow

And you make me talk
And you make me feel
And you make me show
What I'm trying to conceal
If I trust in you, would you let me down?
Would you laugh at me, if I said I care for you?
Could you feel the same way too?
I wanna know..

The name of the game

I have no friends, no-one to see
And I am never invited
Now I am here, talking to you
No wonder I get excited

Your smile, and the sound of your voice
And the way you see through me
Got a feeling, you give me no choice
But it means a lot to me
So I wanna know..

What's the name of the game?
(Your smile and the sound of your voice)
Does it mean anything to you?
(Got a feeling you give me no choice)
But it means a lot, what's the name of the game?
(Your smile and the sound of your voice)
Can you feel it the way I do?
Tell me please, 'cause I have to know
I'm a bashful child, beginning to grow

And you make me talk
And you make me feel
And you make me show
What I'm trying to conceal
If I trust in you, would you let me down?
Would you laugh at me, if I said I care for you?
Could you feel the same way too?
I wanna know..
Oh yes I wanna know..

The name of the game
(I was an impossible case)
Does it mean anything to you?
(But I think I can see in your face)
That it means a lot
What's the name of the game?
(Your smile and the sound of your voice)
Can you feel it the way I do?
(Got a feeling you give me no choice)
But it means a lot, what's the name of the game?
(I was an impossible case)
Does it mean anything to you?
(But I think I can see in your face)
That it means a lot

Paul McCartney & Ringo Starr - Beautiful Night

What a treasure. Long Live these wonderful artists with such a genuinely positive energy.

Here is a glimpse into the passion behind this gorgeous song and legendary producer George Martin is involved!

Beautiful Night Lyrics

Someone's gone out fishing
Someone's high and dry
Someone's on a mission to the lonely Lorelei
Some folks got a vision of a castle in the sky
And I'm left stranded, wondering why

You and me together
Nothing feels so good
Even if I get a medal from my local neighborhood
I won't need a castle, they've got castles in Versailles
And I'm still stranded, wondering why

Make it a beautiful night for me
It's a beautiful night for love
A wonderful sight for lovers of love to behold
Make it a beautiful night for me
It's a beautiful night for love
A wonderful sight for lovers of love to behold

Some boat's on the ocean
We're here in this room
Seems to me the perfect way to spend an afternoon
We can look for castles, pretty castles in the sky
No more wondering, wondering why

Things can go wrong, things can go right
Things can go bump in the dead of the night
So let me be there, let me be there
Let me be there with you in the dead of the night

Make it a beautiful night for me
It's a beautiful night for love
A wonderful sight for lovers of love to behold
Make it a beautiful night for me
Such a beautiful night for love
Such a wonderful sight for lovers of love to behold

Yeah, it's a beautiful night
Yeah, it's a beautiful night, ah

Yeah, a beautiful night, beautiful night
Yeah, it's such a beautiful night, beautiful, beautiful night, yeah

Beautiful night, beautiful night, beautiful night
Beautiful night, beautiful night, beautiful night
Beautiful night, beautiful night, beautiful night
Beautiful night, beautiful night, beautiful night
Beautiful night, beautiful night, beautiful night
Beautiful night, beautiful night, beautiful night
Beautiful night, beautiful night, beautiful night
Beautiful night, beautiful night, beautiful night

George Ivan Morrison - If You Love Me

A doo wop throwback from the heart by George Ivan Morrison.

If You Love Me lyrics

If you love me
You will give your heart
Why should we be apart?
If you love me

If you love me
Baby, you will know the truth
I wasn't born to lose
And I love you

Affinity and communication
That makes reality
Understanding is the first thing
It means so much to me

If I love you
I will find the key
If it's meant to be
'Cause, 'cause I love you, alright

Oh, affinity and communication
That makes, that makes, that makes reality
Understanding is the first thing
It means so very much to me

If I love you, baby
I will find the key
And if it's meant to be, yes it is
And I love you, yes I do

And I love you, baby
I understand you

Kiss - God Gave Rock ‘N’ Roll To You

This is some Kiss truth here.

God Gave Rock ‘N’ Roll To You Lyrics

God gave rock and roll to you, gave rock and roll to you
Put it in the soul of everyone
Do you know what you want? You don't know for sure
You don't feel right, you can't find a cure
And you're gettin' less than what you're lookin' for

You don't have money or a fancy car
And you're tired of wishin' on a falling star
You gotta put your faith in a loud guitar

God gave rock and roll to you, gave rock and roll to you
Gave rock and roll to everyone (oh yeah)
God gave rock and roll to you, gave rock and roll to you
Put it in the soul of everyone

Now listen
If you wanna be a singer, or play guitar
Man, you gotta sweat or you won't get far
Cause it's never too late to work nine-to-five

You can take a stand, or you can compromise
You can work real hard or just fantasize
But you don't start livin' 'till you realize
I gotta tell ya
God gave rock and roll to you, gave rock and roll to you
Gave rock and roll to everyone
God gave rock and roll to you, gave rock and roll to you
Put it in the soul

God gave rock and roll to you (to everyone he gave the song to be sung)
Gave rock and roll to you, gave rock and roll to everyone

God gave rock and roll to you (to everyone he gave the song to be sung)
Gave rock and roll to you, saved rock and roll for everyone
Saved rock and roll

God gave rock and roll to you, gave rock and roll to you
Gave rock and roll to everyone
God gave rock and roll to you, gave rock and roll to you
Put it in the soul of everyone

God gave rock and roll to you, gave rock and roll to you
Gave rock and roll to everyone
God gave rock and roll to you, gave rock and roll to you put it in the soul
I know life sometimes can get tough and I know life sometimes can be a drag
But people, we have been given a gift, we have been given a road
And that road's name is rock and roll
Gave rock and roll to everyone
God gave rock and roll to you gave rock and roll to you
Put it in the soul of everyone
God gave rock and roll to you, gave rock and roll to you
Gave rock and roll to everyone
God gave rock and roll to you, gave rock and roll to you
