Rammstein - Mein Herz Brennt
Mein Herz brennt (German for "My heart burns") is a song by the german metal band Rammstein.
​I was so blown away with this song video because it went beyond a metal band and bordered into the arena of classical opera.
As an artist I rate this highly as a very creative piece in the style of the greatest artists that ever lived.
​
This piano version of the song was released as a single on 7 December 2012.
​​
It is suspected this song is based on a german lullaby by Johannes Brahms called "Sandmännchen" (Sandman)
​
​There are 2 video versions here - One is the original and the other is a breakdown of the song by the Vocalyst - Bethany Hickman (vocal coach)
Now, dear children, pay attention
I am the voice from the pillow
I brought you something
Have ripped it out of my chest
With this heart, I have the power
Blackmail the eyelids
I sing until the new day comes
A bright light in the heaven's sky
​
My heart burns
​
They come to you at night
Demons, ghosts and black elves
They crawl up from the cellar rows
And will take a look under your blanket
​
Little children listen now
I am the voice from the pillow
I brought something to you
A bright light in the heaven's sky
​
My heart burns
My heart burns
​
They come to you at night
And steal your small hot tears
They wait till the moon awakes
And push them in my cold veins
With this heart I have the power
To blackmail the eyelids
I sing 'til the day wakes up
A bright light in the heaven's sky
[Chorus]
My heart burns
My heart burns
My heart burns
My heart burns
