Every time I've played Red Dead Redemption 2 since the game came out, I always wind up singing this during the loading screens because the chords and key are identical to Weit Weg by Rammstein. And now, thanks to @flammen_meer uploading the Weit Weg vocal track, I was able to make this a reality that I could share with you! This is not a cover, it's a very simple remix. I slowed the Rammstein vocal track down from 100 BPM to 70 BPM to match the RDR2 track, chopped the RDR2 track up to make a different arrangement that suited the song structure and melody, then added a couple of effects to the vocals, balanced the levels, and job done. German and English lyrics below. // Vocals by Till Lindemann for Rammstein, and instrumentation by Rockstar Games for Red Dead Redemption 2. No copyright infringement intended. // German Lyrics: Niemand kann das Bild beschreiben Gegen seine Fensterscheibe Hat er das Gesicht gepresst Und hofft, dass sie das Licht anlässt Ohne Kleid sah er sie nie Die Herrin seiner Fantasie Er nimmt die Gläser vom Gesicht Singt zitternd eine Melodie Der Raum wird sich mit Mondlicht füllen Lässt sie fallen, alle Hüllen Der Anblick ist ihm sehr gewogen Spannt seine Fantasie zum Bogen Der Atem stockt, das Herz schlägt wild Malt seine Farben in ihr Bild Steht er da am Fensterrand Mit einer Sonne in der Hand Ganz nah So weit weg von hier So nah Weit, weit weg von dir Ganz nah So weit weg sind wir So nah Weit, weit weg von mir Wieder ist es Mitternacht Ich stehle uns das Licht der Sonne Weil es immer dunkel ist Wenn der Mond die Sterne küsst Ganz nah... So nah... Ganz nah So weit weg von dir So nah So weit weg sind wir Ganz nah... So nah... // English Translation by Google, made singable by JDDS: No one can describe the scene Standing by the window pane He's pressed his face right up against And hopes she leaves the lights turned on He's never seen under her dress The mistress of his fantasies He takes his glasses off his face And, trembling, sings a melody The room is filled with moonlight As all the layers drop to the floor Exhilarated at the sight Fantasy fired from a bow His breathing short, heart beating fast His mind painting on her canvas He's standing at the window's edge With the sunlight in his hand Up close You're so far away So close Far away from you Up close That's how far away So close Far away from me Once again it's midnight I hide us from the piercing sunlight 'Cause it's only in the dark That the moon kisses stars Up close... So close... Up close You're so far away So close That's how far away Up close... So close...
