Rosenrot tracklist | |
Benzin is the first song on the album Rosenrot by Rammstein.
Background
- The idea of creating a song named Benzin has existed since 1999.
- In March 2004, a song with the length of 2:58 entitled Student was found in the GEMA database. One of the lines sung in the song was "Alle bleiben stehen, alle wollen es sehen",[1] because of this it is speculated that the lyrics were based on Till's poem Das Experiment released in his book In stillen Nächten. In 2005 Paul confirmed in an interview that the song was eventually reworked and subsequently released with new lyrics as Benzin.[2]
- Meshuggah is a Swedish metal band. Their Combustion Remix shares the same name as a song of their own. Meshuggah's own song was released three years after their remix. If the band already worked on their own song and named the remix after, or the other way around, is not known.
