Excellent German pop band

[Davidius]

For anyone out there who understands German (or even those who don't, the music is still good!) I'd like to recommend Wir Sind Helden (We are Heroes), an excellent pop/rock band. They recently released their third album and continue to get better and better! And they aren't Christians, but their music is positive as well as catchy (in their second album they sang against prostitution and against women dressing scantily). This is the homepage and clips can be gotten by clicking on the "Sound?So" link at the top. I recommend "Die Konkurrenz," "Soundso," and "The Geek (Shall Inherit the Earth)" from Soundso, "Nur Ein Wort" and "Zuhalter" from Von Hier an Blind and "Aurelie" from Die Reklamation.

Lyrics from the website's clip of "The Geek (Shall Inherit)":

Bist du zu schlau, um nicht unangenehm aufzufallen
und nicht schön genug, um damit durchzukommen?
Weißt du genau, wie es ist, immer raus zu fallen
nur nicht weit genug, um woanders anzukommen?

Es tut weh, so zu sein, wie du solltest
Es tut weh, zu sein, wie du bist - Aber wenn der
Quarterback kommt, um dir die Brille abzunehmen Sag ihm:
Danke, die bleibt wo sie ist
Ich weiß doch:

Die Verletzten sollen die Ärzte sein
Die Letzten sollen die Ersten sein
Sieh es ein: The Meek shall inherit the earth
Die Verletzten sollen die Ärzte sein
Die Letzten sollen die Ersten sein
Die Ersten sehen als Letzte ein:
The Geek shall inherit the earth

Are you too smart to stick out as anything other than unpleasant
and not handsome enough to make up for it?
Do you know exactly how it is to always be left out
yet not be pushed far enough to end up somewhere else?

How it hurts to be what you ought
and how it hurts to be what you are - but
when the quarterback comes to snatch off your glasses, say to him:
They'll stay just where they are, thank you. Because I know:

The injured shall be the doctors
The last shall be the first
See here: the meek shall inherit the earth
The injured shall be the doctors
The last shall be the first
The first shall be the last
The Geek shall inherit the earth.

You should also check out Xavier Naidoo and Die Söhne Mannheims. Naidoo is the leader singer of Söhne Mannheims and they have a very Christian message.

When I hear the two words "German" and "band" together I either think "polka" ...........
