You must react to "Freiheit" from him😊❤

He also made a song about his Scotish friend Johnnie Walker. It is also a good song. And like other suggested "Freiheit", problably one of the best German songs ever in my eyes.

The guy has been doing this for ages. His first song was "Mit 18" in 1978. Great song, still played today. He played in the 1977 film "Theo gegen den Rest der Welt". Had another breakthrough in 79 with the album "Mit Pfefferminz bin ich dein Prinz". This song was from 89. He has received countless awards and still performs today. Westernhagan, Grönemeyer, Lindenberg und Maffay are the most famous singers in Germany. They make most of their music themselves, are cross-.genre, have their own style and are very difficult to categorize.

"Mit 18" ("with 18 years") from 1977. He was a rough street guy.

Somehow it remembers me about Rio Reiser. 🤔 It could be a good song for a reaction. 😅 Für immer und dich!

It's in the text. He swore to be faithful and not to lie, implying that he cheated on her too and is now trying to save the relationship, because them being together was his destiny.

I really love this guy, he's a legend! 🥰 Greetings from Germany to you 🫶🏻 Westernhagen has some other great songs as well

He doesn't love her, he's obsessed with her. It's the same theme as in Every Breath You Take by Police. He says very clearly that she has no chance - he controls her life. So, like the Police song, it's not a love song. It's a song about a disturbed personality. These people always say that they love someone and do everything out of love, and if they then hurt that person, then it's the victims' fault. Love and peace from Hannover, Germany. Klaus

My most loved Songs from him are „Freiheit“ and „Jonny Walker“.

One of my favourite artists.

Westernhagen is a great artist!!! I love his older songs, for example "Mit 18" (the life version from 1984 is FIRE!!!), "Sexy" or "Dicke" i It's PURE, good old handmade Rock'n'Roll!!!!

ugghhhh dont know, these "u wont escape from me...u r born for me....ull never get rid of me" thing gives me weird stalker vibes, id runnnnnnnnn.

i like the original version much better as it's much more rock'n roll but yeah, he's great.

Freiheit, ist auch gut!

Similar, but better: Try "Willenlos (2023 Remaster)" by Westernhagen here on KZfaq. If you're wondering what he did to the person he's singing about here, that's the answer.

"Freiheit" Marius Müller-Westernhagen released the song in the fall of 1987. In the post-reunification period, “Freedom” became the anthem of that time. 30 years of the fall of the Berlin Wall. The best video is from 1989.At this time was the Fall of the Berlin Wall.

The desert was hot, the mountains were high The water was deep, and yet I found you I swore to you that you wouldn't escape me You were born for me, I don't live in vain I'm not a Rockefeller and I'm not a beau either I can't be faithful either, I lie anyway I swore to you that things would be different for you You were born for me, you are my eternity Because I love you, still and more Because I need you, I need you so much I long, I long for you Trust me, stay with me Take me in your arms, look into my face Try to tell me "I don't love you" You won't succeed, the price would be too high You were born for me, you will never get rid of me Because I love, still and more Because I need you, I need you so much I long, I long for you Forgive me, stay with me Because I love, still and more Because I need you, I need you so much I long, I long for you Forgive me, stay with me because I love you

Please react to Westernhagens song "Dicke". 😊

Westernhagen must not do much to convey the expression of the song. He is an excellent actor, starring in many successful movies esp. in the 80s.

Recolverheld „Ich lass für dich das Licht an“ makes my eyes wet every time. I‘m a 53 year old rock music guy….

Trivia: He was in a relationship with British singer Polly Eltes back in the 80‘s and they share a daughter, Sarah, who‘s also a musician today

I’m being honest: I don't like this version at all. MTV Unplugged can sometimes produce something amazing, but it can also ruin a song. I'm not a fan of this rendition. I much prefer the original studio version, even though it's not my usual taste in music.

It is not the same as we heard in 89. we had this song on cd vinyl or kassette. this is live. But this was always played on partis, sorry about my englisch.

Saw MMW 2 Times live in Concert in the 80s. Both shows were great. 'Sexy' was one of the Hits of that time 😜. Nowadays I like to listen to AnnenMayKantereit. 3 Guys, great music, Hearttouching Lyrics and a voice to lay hands down. Try Pocahontas, Barfuß am Klavier, Ausgehen and many more!! Greetings from northern Germany 🇩🇪♥️

My Mom was big fan of him. FunFact He left Germany a while ago and lives in England ..I guess

Have you ever listened to his Song "Johnnie Walker"? It's also a love song ...to whisky! 😀

No wonder you compare his music to country. he became famous as an actor acting in a tv show as a lonely trucker. To get the full power of his songs listen to "Freiheit" (Freedom), a song that became famous during the time of german reunification. His life performance was unbelievable.

countrymusic never came to my mind while listening to Müller-Westernhagen, interesting take on him

Here is the original album version when Marius Müller-Westernhagen was still a little bit younger kzfaq.info/get/bejne/nqp1arJmz7C8mX0.htmlsi=91XiiPjdXnuTQWDJ

You should check out Texas Lightning they are from Germany a diffrent band

Oh, WESTERNHAGEN! *great ... < it was one of my biggest concerts I've attended to ... 100K+ people! Maybe do some early rock stuff? Check out "Westernhagen - Mit 18 (Rockpop In Concert, 24.08.1984)" *rock_n_roll

Because i love you !

Try Sonderzug nach Pankow by Udi Lindenberg! Such a fun song.

Here are two romantic songs from Gregor Meyle. A great german singer-songwriter.

If you really love this kind of emotional songs, check out Alin Coen - Festhalten So beatuiful and sad at the same time. I promise you will love her music

kzfaq.info/get/bejne/m9p2YLZmurXQnZs.html this "version" has so much more impact imho

Listen to Heros /Helden German Cover from David Bowie

MTV unplugged Versions are mostly very diffrent from the original version.

Please react also Reinhard Mey & Friends Nein mein Söhne geb ich nicht. The best anti war song forever!

Not the best version. It's too quiet and soft in my opinion. The studio version is far better...at least for me ☺️

He lied and wasn't faithful to the others before her. Now he swore to her that it would be different with her. She doesn't believe him.

I love his voice. But to be honest, the text sounds very abusive to me. "Born for me" "never get rid of me" and let's not forget the forgive me for cheating on you. Dude you are talking about a woman with her own life and aspirations and not about a posession.

Listen to the version sung by Clueso, He Made the song better imo

This version is much better: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/nqp1arJmz7C8mX0.htmlsi=JlsSUIaTVbaaFrop

CRO - Bye Bye (MTV Unplugged) ♥

Jennifer Rostock - Haarspray

Unheilig -Geboren um zu leben! Udo Lindenberg - Hinter dem Horizont!

Hi Dwayne, I don´t know, this has always ben my least favourite song from this artist. I think it feels kinda creepy "you won´t get rid of me ..., you were born for me,,," just doesn´t sit right with me. He did some decent stuff though, over the years.

Wow, I really do not like this version of the song. The original is much much better!

When you hear the song, you still believe that the German language consists of Hitler's barks. German often sounds like that and not like this Austrian emigrant.
