"Sonne" (German for "sun") is a song by German rock band
Rammstein. It was released in 12 February 2001, as the first
single from their 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.[1] The female vocal comes from Spectrasonic's "Symphony of Voices" sample library.[2][3]
The music video for the band's 2019 single "
Deutschland" features a piano-based version of "Sonne" in the ending credits.[4]
Music video
The video features the band as the
Seven Dwarfs mining gold for
Snow White. According to
Paul Landers in the Making of Sonne, the idea came from a video made by
Oliver Riedel, who mixed the song with parts of Snow White.The role of Snow White was played by Margaux Bossieux, actress and bass guitar player. Margo regularly appears in the videos of Richard Kruspe's band Emigrate. [5]
The song debuted as "Klitschko" on 16 April 2000. It was very different from the final version released in Mutter.[citation needed] It was played in some concerts on the Japanese/Australia-New Zealand leg of the
Sehnsucht tour, before Mutter was released and its tour started. These concerts were the only time the third verse of the song was played; when played live, the band usually omits the final stanza, and instead plays a slightly longer intro and outro.[citation needed]
