Till Lindemann’s new solo album “Zunge” was released on Friday (November 3rd). After the Rammstein frontman had already released five singles – including “Nass”, “Schweiss” and “Sport Frei” – the question of the sound of the record had already been clarified. At least that’s what one would have thought. The singer now surprised with a bonus track that no Ultra fan could have guessed in this form.
At first glance there are eleven tracks on the album. In addition to the five singles, there are six other unreleased tracks – including “Altes Fleisch” and “Du hast nicht Herz”. If you listen to the last song “Even in love” until the end, you will notice that after a short break there is a twelfth song.
Just take a break (from the image?)
However, the hidden track sounds completely different to the musician’s usual works and is more likely to be assigned to the hit genre. The rocker sings unusually slowly: “I have to do it all the time / I have to do it all the time / I don’t have time to rest / I don’t feel like resting. Just take a break / It doesn’t occur to me / Busy all day / Because I’m the rabble-rouser.”
In the chorus, Lindemann emphasizes this again: “I rumble, rumble, rumble / I rumble all day long / I rumble, rumble, rumble / Because that’s what I like.” But the secret song is actually not just about daily stress of the 60 year old. In the last verse it becomes clear that he is singing about a very special occupation. So he found a woman with whom he can hang out “all night long,” “because she likes it too.”
Fans want replenishment of hits
The rock musician’s fans are apparently enthusiastic about the genre shift. A Lindemann supporter writes on Reddit: “The man does exactly what he wants with it, and it shows. God, how I hope we get more of this in the future! And that he plays it live.”
While another user “laughed so damn hard” when the hits sounded, another tried to explain the meaning of the track: “Every hit song is basically just about love and sex, but it is written romantically. And Till makes fun of it by singing directly what it’s actually about,” is the fan’s interpretation.
On November 8th, Til Lindemann begins his solo tour in the Leipzig Quarterback Immobilien Arena. He will then be on stage in several German cities – including Düsseldorf, Bamberg, Frankfurt am Main and Kassel – as well as abroad. However, it remains unclear whether the Rammstein frontman will also play his hit song.
