Well, does it?

Oh, and if this isn't in the right place, what exactly is the right place? :S

I can't imagine that song without the vocals.

I don't think one does, as I've really wanted one and looked in various places for it. There is one person on Youtube, though, who plays KST on the piano with no vocals.

Ditto. Komm Susser Tod sans the vocals just wouldn't be Komm Susser Tod to me!

Also, I have another KST question: Anno wrote the lyrics, right? So, does he speak fluent English, then?

I'm pretty sure he doesn't.

I seem to recall him needing a translator on more than one occasion at expo's and such. That's not to say he doesn't know some English, just that he isn't fluent in it.

when that bridge went down in Minnesota, all I could think about were the lyrics...

Yeah, I just want to examine the instrumentals.

Anno just wrote the poem. Mike Wyzgowski translated it... though there's a bit of a difference between them.

There are some good MIDIs out there that you could pick apart.

Anno's lyrics were quite different from the lyrics that ended up being in the actual song. Anno's version's quintessential line is "Let's return to nothing" as opposed to "It all returns to nothing", implying more control of the singer's end.

You're lucky. All I could think about was that I crossed that bridge once or twice a week for meetings.

On topic- I don't know if it is the whole piece but I do remember hearing a string quartet of Komm Süsser Tod a year or so ago. You will probably have to search through a classical music database to find it though as I have no clue who actually did it. Sorry :(

Thanks, but... not only the instrumentals, but I want to examine it musically without any vocals. I hope I'm not coming off as too picky.

I can't really find a decent one.

Does anyone find it out that the original Komm, Susser Tod sounds nothing like Anno's? Why did Anno name it after that piece, then?

That's quite hard to listen to, actually. The tempo is way too inconsistent.

Well, multiple songs can have the same name without being "copies", especially in the classical world ('classical' used as a general term, not specifically for the classical period). Though, Anno may have known about Bach's Komm, Susser Tod and there may indeed be a connection. Or it may simply be that Anno thought, "Hmm, 'Come, Sweet Death' sounds pretty cool, I'll name this happy-sounding, suicidal song that for when everyone gets tang'd"

And yes, that was a very difficult video to listen to. Not only the inconsistent tempo, but the tapping noise was annoying, too.
