The visuals play off what are called Heimatfilms and the reference to the birds no longer singing ("Und die Vögel singen nicht mehr") could refer also to the Wandervogel with a nostalgic feeling of loss of the freedom they embodied, which was manifested with ballads and nature wandering.

The song debuted live in its beta version in 2000, in a concert just for members of the fan club.

In those of the live shows that Apocalyptica was the support act, they played the cellos in the song.

It shows the band climbing in the mountains when lead vocalist Till Lindemann falls and gets badly hurt.

The band members eat and rest while bassist Oliver Riedel engraves their names on a pan's lid to leave as a testimony of their presence on the mountain, as others have done.
