We are big Rammstein fans.\u00a0 And so our natural songwriting creativity takes us to places that just scream for German language vocals.\u00a0 The big problem is, we can’t speak German, so we’ve done our phonetic best.\u00a0 And it sounds pretty good …. to an untrained ear.<\/p>\n

There was something I read about how Kurt Cobain wrote very simple, child-like lyrics for Nirvana songs.\u00a0 No idea how true that was, but I didn’t put much thought into these lyrics.\u00a0 The opening line, “Es leizer, zu leizer” is a simple war movie clich\u00e9 – “It’s quiet, too quiet”.<\/span><\/p>\n

When I got to what became the chorus, I thought about those old war movies, about how the main character was able to overcome the seemingly impossible foe.\u00a0 It got me thinking about the one adversary they could not overcome – the weather.\u00a0 This goes back to the Kurt Vonnegut book Cat’s Cradle<\/a>, how the scientist asks the general what one thing he would like to change about combat, and the general responds he’d like to remove mud from the battlefield – it gets everywhere and ruins a lot of things.\u00a0 Anyway, getting off topic, random phrases and German translations later, Blitz Bringen.<\/p>\n

I haven’t talked about the music much.\u00a0 There’s not much to say, really.\u00a0 Listen to a lot of Nine Inch Nails, Rammstein and KMFDM and you’ll get the influences for this song.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
