There is a supposed new image of the fan box that says “featuring the single Fleisch” on it.

Sport Frei teaser #2. Reflection on East German sport history, or his own past? Or both?
https://www.youtube.com/shorts/7gCtYlcHAVs
Full audio, video tomorrow. Lyrics from Rammwiki. - WOW. It IS about his own past, and it's rough.
Machine translated lyrics:
For all the well-trained souls
Who like to torture themselves
I want to put myself into words
Singing a song dedicated to sports
Athletes must be truly honored
They have to give up a lot
Get up early in the morning
Go to bed at night
Measure their muscles every day
Eat everything or nothing
Sports, no sports
Sports, sports free
Tears on the trail of ashes
A tooth knocked out in the ring
Counting tiles in the pool
To win until death
Running around the world several times
Drinking gallons of protein
And the years run away from you
Running a new marathon every day
Losing and winning
Falling and flying
Shadows and light
And you can see the tears
Sports - not
Sports free
Sport, sport free
Sport is a religion
Athletes have condition, yes
Their lungs are dilated
Their hearts are widened
Run faster than the fat ones
Can just fuck better
And the years run away from you
Every day a new marathon
Losing and winning
Falling and flying
Shadows and light
And you can't see the tears
From Olympus to hard ground
Testicles full of foreign hormones
Heart too big as mentioned before
Joints overstretched
The body soon protests
Can no longer be flayed
Shattered dreams and renunciation
Little or no education
So much sweat and tears
Thin blood in thick veins
When the work is not the reward
Nothing at all, nothing you get
The gold from the podium
Cannot be cast into bars
The heart, alas, has not recovered
An instrument of good
And the years run away from you
Every day a new marathon
Losing and winning
Falling and flying
Shadows and light
And you can't see the tears
Sports, sports free
Sports, sports free

Just listened to the audio, great track.
Really surprised that we still do not have the full track listing for the album. We already know of… six songs now?
This was filmed a few months ago, since the eel tattoo is visible on Till's shoulders. In May the stuntman's IG said he was going to be set on fire again.
The scene with the funnel having all the pills poured into it was a bit disturbing. I'm surprised there wasn't a photo of Till in his swimming days anywhere.
I'm looking forward to the album, which has been delayed for a few weeks.
Song is okay but of course he has to reference fucking once more... this shit is getting so old these days. Otherwise I really like the video.
But for some reason the stuff he puts out under Till Lindemann rather than Lindemann with Peter sounds even more cheapter and by the numbers. Who is uring him to keep on doing music outside Rammstein? Is this really music that Till enjoys making? It's pretty gimmicky dance metal to my ears which is enjoybale here and there, but I'm really missing quality, effort and a certain grandeur put into this.
After all the shit with Marilyn Manson, I just don't have the patience nor do I really even feel comfortable supporting Till anymore. Not saying it's the same situation, it isn't.
But when someone has made a career singing about sex and violence, and then gets accused of sexual violence, then maybe there is something else to it and it's not just art but a reflection of the artist. I'm sure I'm not the only one grappling with these feelings. I'm not playing mental gymnastics with this one, even though he was cleared of any legal issues (for now), the whole Row Zero/Till The End/Suck Box is just disgusting. And I know the practice of roadie's pulling girls from the crowd is as old as rock itself.
I'm just done, there is way to much music out there to waste my time.
Zunge tracklist:
01. Zunge
02. Sport frei
03. Altes Fleisch
04. Übers Meer
05. Du Hast Kein Herz
06. Tanzlehrerin
07. Nass
08. Alles Für Die Kinder
09. Schweiss
10. Lecker
11. Selbst Verliebt
No Ich Hasse Kinder, no Entre Dos Tierras.
Album has been leaked, and first impression is that it's good.
lol at the last song.
Love at first sight
I think I'm hot, I'd fuck myself
Am I pregnant then in case?
Then give it to me a second time
If everyone were like me
There are no bad people
love at first sight
I like to submit to fate
Oh God, track 12...
I don't speak German, so here's a translation from someone who does. @dlb , is this correct?
Lindemann's Law: if there's an unfamiliar phrase in any work produced or performed by Till Lindemann, it's a metaphor for fornication.
New album is great. God damn.
I feel like “Übers Meer” is the “Yukon” of this album - aka the awesome song that probably will be neglected live.
I hope not, though.
The two mentioned above and Wer Weiss Das Schon would be amazing live.
The sequel to B********, lol. Someone did a photo edit of Till on reddit with a Batman “Riddler” outfit on.
I’m still confused about why Altes Fleisch was listed as a single on the DE version and just called Fleisch. It’s rare for them to make mistakes with things like that.
Then again, there was that whole I’m Still Alive / Yeah Yeah Yeah thing with Richard. I think the physical CD version of it printed it as Yeah Yeah Yeah. Not sure if it was later corrected.

Aren’t the lyrics to / message of Selbst Verliebt basically the same as Platz Eins?
Setlist for the tour opener in Leipzig has been posted. @Erneuert was right, no Übers Meer. And Till's grown a mustache! It must be for male health awareness, there's no way in hell he'd ever support no nut November. https://www.instagram.com/p/CzZg5x6O...3D&img_index=1
Also, press has been blocked from the show unless they have express permission from Till's management. https://www.stuttgarter-zeitung.de/i...fa3f29af6.html
Whoa, didn’t expect Tanzlehrerin to be played. Love that song.
Looks like Skills In Pills was printed as the last track but wasn’t reported on setlist.fm.
Is Danny Lohner still part of the live band?
Apparently so. https://www.movember.com/?reset=1
Danny's there, along with Constance, the only one of the three girls with any stage presence. She walked ahead of Till during Platz Eins, looking like a blonde Tägtgren.
Clicked on a short YT clip of Knebel and was treated to the backdrop video - the menstruating woman was censored but Charlotte blowing TL through the book remained. Maybe this was in line with the theme of men's sexual health? Also, Jes (I think) went Pete Townshend on an acoustic guitar but looked more like a petulant child. Between the two of them my eyes rolled so far back in my head it hurt.
Short clip of Tanzlehrerin:
How does that Knebel footage not get blocked on YT?
Also, yes, cringe.
I was preparing salad while watching Knebel; took much pleasure biting a whole carrot in half as Charlotte was working.
The Hansel & Gretel footage has been removed from Allesfresser and replaced by random girls eating spaghetti.
I do like the new album, the best songs are the non-singles. Über Meer, Altes Fleisch, Tanzlehrerin, Alles Für die Kinder along with Sport Frei are very good. But this Tortured Artist with a Monster Sex Drive and a Lonely Broken Heart™ shtick is really really old, tired and repetitive.
Hopefully, since there is a larger pool of songs to choose from, the set list is changed up a bit more this tour.
The “whoaoahoahaa” Übers Meer intro is begging to be done live.
Also, is that eel biting footage during Knebel longer / extended from the official video?
Re: schtick, it troubles me that he and M Manson share the same birthdays. Or are one day apart.
Oh wait, Skills In Pills was played at the end, followed by Home Sweet Home on tape.
lol, the keys girl has a pole to dance on?
Also what is Till’s obsession with puffy jackets.
lol, guitar isn’t even plugged in.
Oh come on Till, we are witnessing the end times folks
