Music Reviews #1 Rammstein-Dalai Lama
So today I'm going to be reviewing the song "Dalai Lama" by Rammstein. Personally, it's one of my favorites, so I might be a bit biased.
Here's the synopsis of the plot of the song:
A father and son are in an airplane heading to the mother's birthday party.
God sees the humans in an airplane and he's like "NO YOU DON'T, ASSHOLE" so he sends lightning to smite the kid. The lightning damages the craft, and the father is so scared so he squeezes the child to death by mistake.
So here's what I like about this song: It's creepy.
Here's the creepiest part:
Komm her, bleib hier
Wir sind gut zu dir
Komm her, bleib hier
Wir sind Brüder dir
Among the absolute most creepy lyrics I've ever heard sung. It's very atmospheric. I also like how it's not too heavy that the vocals are drown out but at the same time it's not as light as say as, Amour, or Ohne Dich.
Like some of Rammstein's other songs (Such as Buck Dich and Du Hast) it has a somewhat repetitive instrumental, but that only adds to the experience for me. I find it to be a very enjoyable song.
If I had to rate this one out of 10, I'd give it a 9.2.

Bonus Info:
The song is about an airplane crashing, but it's called Dalai Lama. You may wonder why. The reason is that when this song was released, the Dalai Lama at the time had a phobia of flying.
Also added bonus, this song draws some inspiration from Erlkönig

Tell me in the comments what you'd rate the song, what you like, and what you dislike.
(Also on an added note, I'm planning on doing these reviews by artist, so I'm going to a bunch of Rammstein songs, then I'm going to do Daft Punk songs, then Rise Against songs and I'm undecided on what to aftewards)
