Otherwordly Wednesday

I'm foregoing the Wordless Wednesday this week, because I say so.

I've only recently discovered how to get mp3 files onto my Blackberry to assign them to ringtones for different people... No, really I don't work in IT, I don't do anything technological in my day to day work...

As such, I've been poring over songs to use as my default ringtone, with little success.  I can't decide, there are too many good ones!

To date, I've been focusing on Rammstein songs, but alas I can't decide out of those either... argh, this is difficult.

On the Rammstein front, I've been listening to their newish album, came out in 2009 and I'm just now listening to the songs.  What sort of fan am I?  One who bought their album even though Mike said I should have downloaded it, the deluxe album too, which was twice the price of the regular album.

The first song on the album, Rammlied, was in fact the song they opened with in Montreal.  Not having the album, I didn't know this.  I also didn't think to look up the English translation til today...

Rammlied *

Whoever waits patiently
will be rewarded when the time is right
Now, the wait is over
Lend your ears to a legend

Rammstein

Some lead, some follow
Heart and soul, hand in hand
Forwards, forwards, don't stop
Reason gains meaning and form

If happiness makes you sad
If there are no stars in the night
If you're lonely and alone
We are here, tune in

Rammstein

Some lead, some follow
Evil face, good game
Devouring and being devoured
We take little and give a lot

When you don't know the answer
what's right is right
If you're sad and alone
We are back, tune in

Rammstein

One way
One goal
One motif

Rammstein

One direction
One feeling
Made of flesh and blood
A collective

Whoever waits patiently
will be rewarded when the time is right
Now, the wait is over
Lend your ears to a legend

Rammstein

A great song, which captures that night and how long we had waited to see them.

And yes, its on the short list of songs that's already 6 strong...
