Sing Meinen Song (Floor Jansen)


Recommended Posts

We know the song already, there's no big surprise here but here's the video from Sing Meinen Song today with English subtitles.

Mauern (Lotte) by Floor Jansen,  Rammstein-style! 🤘

I don't know, from this video I get the feeling that Floor is not that fluent in German? She's mostly smiling and laughing but not really engaging in conversations.

I also noticed a very emotional moment in the last episode when Lotte sang what appears to be a very personal song about sexual violence, and Floor was moved to tears. I don't know of a translated video, but there's some explanation on the VOX website.

On the fifth exchange evening of "Sing mein Song" 2022, LOTTE is the star of the evening. Together with "Grosch's Eleven" she performs her new song "So wie ich". A song that has a special meaning for LOTTE and tears the rug from under her feet in South Africa. As soon as she finished singing the last note, the 26-year-old suddenly bursts into tears. We reveal what's behind the song and LOTTE's tears. You can see all the goose bumps in the video.

LOTTE: "There are limits that you just don't cross!"

After LOTTE has performed her very special song, exchange concert host Johannes Oerding asks the 26-year-old again what exactly moves her so much about the song. Visibly touched, LOTTE explains that the song is about sexualised violence, which she herself had to experience. “I wrote the song autobiographically about sexualised violence. What it's like when you say no as a woman and someone simply crosses this line and takes what they want from you," says LOTTE. For the 26-year-old, one thing is very clear: "There are limits that you just don't cross. A no is a no!” In the video we show why LOTTE, despite her traumatic experiences, does not want to be perceived as a victim and why the song “So wie ich” is a great liberation for her.

Here's a preview of next week's Sing Meinen Song episode -- the live premiere of Floor's 'Storm'. 👀

As often is the case with Floor, live is better! 😮

 

Thought it was a banner. Just found it that the song is behind that. Good find .... Thanks and agree 🤘

Floor singt sie alle wieder gegen die Mauer (nice said in German 😉)

Here's another short German documentary about Floor:

Nothing really new, but it has some footage from backstage in North America earlier this year. We learn that Floor doesn't want another female artist in Nightwish and have to talk about make-up and children. 😆 I guess it's sort of an introduction to the longer documentary coming tomorrow.

Ah.. I was late to the game 😉 @Fugazi you posted it already (without the jenniezelf subs 🙃). Several childhood pics from Floor I I've never seen before ...

Great show, I'm watching it right now and Floor's introduction was very nice.

But, Floor's signature song Amaranth??? 🤔😁 Lol it was probably chosen because it was a hit in Germany, but I wouldn't say it's anywhere near Floor's top songs! 😄

Floor seems to have enjoyed Sleeping Sun anyway, I have to admit that it was a good performance, despite it being completely unrelated to the Nightwish song.

Kelvin Jones text about dreaming as a black person was really touching. 😥

I watched the documentary, it's nicely done and it's a offers a rare opportunity to find out more about Floor's family and friends. Lots of ground covered many times already but this was made for an audience new to Floor. Perhaps it's a translation issue, Floor mentions never having singed a Nightwish song before flying to the USA to save the Imaginaerum tour in 2012, but we know of at least She Is My Sin sang on stage with After Forever. Just a little nitpick!
