Track DescriptionAvailable in:
"Sonne" (German for "Sun") is a song by the German Neue Deutsche Härte group Rammstein. It was the first single released from the album Mutter. According to Till Lindemann, the song was originally written as an entrance song for the boxer Vitali Klitschko, whose surname was also the working title of the song.
The video features the band as dwarves mining gold for Snow White. Apparently, this came about while several of the band members were watching the old Disney film Snow White, and had "Sonne" playing in the background, giving them the idea for the video. Also (as told by Paul in the Making Of Sonne video) the video came out of a video Olliver (bassist) did mixing the "Sonne" song and parts of the Snow White movie with his computer. The band supposedly went through nearly 40 different ideas for the video, such as the story of a boxer, before choosing the Snow White theme. One of the other ideas was a video about the dropping of the atomic bomb on Hiroshima (which would have matched the lyrics and the depressed-sounding vocalization). Lady Snow-White (German "Schneewittchen") is played by the Russian soap actress Joulia Stepanova (Yulia Stepanova). There is also an extended version, which is longer and has more scenes in it (ex: Snow White smoking a cigarette while looking at a gold ring).
