Erika | Slowed & Reverbed

I’m going to be posting on the podcast soon so check out the channels tab

My Argentinian grandpa says it's a classic

This is probably how the Polish and Soviets heard it.

imagine waking up in the middle of the night and hearing this get progressively louder outside

Damn over 75 years and still fire.

* go to KZhead * * Search for this Erika slowed version * * go to a retirement home * * play at full volume * * don't elaborate further * * leaves *

"Erika" is a marching song used by the German military. The song was composed by Herms Niel in the 1930s, and it soon came into usage by the Wehrmacht, especially the Heer. No other marching song during World War II reached the popularity of Erika. "Erika" is both a common German female name and the German word for heather. The lyrics and melody of the song were written by Herms Niel, a German composer of marches. The exact year of the song's origin is not known; often the date is given as "about 1930", a date that, however, has not been substantiated. The song was originally published in 1938 by the publishing firm Louis Oertel in Großburgwedel. It had been popular prior to the start of World War II. The song encourages hard work, and according to Michael Tillotson, no other marching song during World War II reached the popularity of Erika. It was exclusively played at large political events. The song begins with the line "Auf der Heide blüht ein kleines Blümelein" (On the Heath a Little Flower Blooms), the theme of a flower (Erika) bearing a soldier's sweetheart's name. After each line, and after each time the name "Erika" is sung, there is a three beat pause, which is filled by the kettledrum or stomping feet (e.g. of marching soldiers).

This would make a nice song for a Nazi zombies game. Imagine the undead horde once again marching on Europe.

It sounds like soldiers are singing from heaven

Pov: the german child is depressed

The allies been quiet ever since this dropped 💯🗣️🙏

My argentinian grandpa says it's a certified hood classic

imagine going to Poland and blasting this song in your car 💀

Imagine being on a German battlefield tour and you hear this song so distantly and your tour guide says "they are still proud and singing their hearts out in pride" 🥶

I just imagine a battlefield where there is a German soldier who just got hit by artillery, he’s alive but in critical condition, his breathing is slow, you can hear his heavy heart beat and breathing, he looks around the battlefield to see explosion everywhere, the sky is red, shouting and screaming in the distance, fellow German soldiers and even allied soldiers just getting mauled by bullets, all of this with just this song playing, all other sounds are muffled. His breathing gets slower, then he blacks out.

If you're gonna sleep at night just play this song that will make you feel soo good at night..

When i was listening to this, my economics book transformed to mein kampf 💀

One word: MASTERPIECE

When your dna test shows you're 0.0001% German*🙋🏼‍♂️

Auf der Heide blüht ein kleines Blümelein Und das heißt: Erika. Heiß von hunderttausend kleinen Bienelein Wird umschwärmt: Erika Denn ihr Herz ist voller Süßigkeit, Zarter Duft entströmt dem Blütenkleid. Auf der Heide blüht ein kleines Blümelein Und das heißt: Erika. In der Heimat wohnt ein blondes Mägdelein Und das heißt: Erika. Dieses Mädel ist mein treues Schätzelein Und mein Glück, Erika. Wenn das Heidekraut rot-lila blüht, Singe ich zum Gruß ihr dieses Lied. Auf der Heide blüht ein kleines Blümelein Und das heißt: Erika. In mein'm Kämmerlein blüht auch ein Blümelein Und das heißt: Erika. Schon beim Morgengrau'n sowie beim Dämmerschein Schaut's mich an, Erika. Und dann ist es mir, als spräch' es laut: "Denkst du auch an deine kleine Braut?" In der Heimat weint um dich ein Mägdelein Und das heißt: Erika.

They hired some real M A N to sing this, the voices are so D E E P.

really didn't think i would enjoy but it gives me evil vibes so i like zis

My phone was on 3% when I started listening to this. 2 minutes later it was on 110% and heading towards Poland

Imagine hearing this in your city and becoming more louder☠️

Die guten alten Tage ✋

POV: It's 1945 and your the last one alive in the Reichstag

For me it sounds like the proud soldiers that have died in the war but stuck in this world as ghost still marching still singing still proud

The most haunting version.

"Time for a come back,boys"

Untouchable, Brave German soldiers singing from heaven ❤❤❤

Sounds like a soldier who got knocked out and is now waking up with blurry vision and hears this while his friends get slaughtered

Legend says if you play this song at 3AM the ghost of the German soldier will haunt you

It’s crazy that this song has been out since 1938 which is almost 90 years and yet it’s still played and enjoyed this means that the song is that good

When you're evil you enjoy war, When you're sad you understand the pain of the soldiers... 😔🖤🥀🔪⛓️

Me as a german can say i really enjoyed the song. I really like the melody of the song and idc what people gonna say now. Its a normal song in the old times (im not supporting anything what Germany did back then). Just stop discussing over a fucking song like seriously. It's just a march song

"The Polish kids are bullying me!" Mom: Tell teacher Dad: Fight back Grandpa:

Im on a lsd trip and this feels like one huge really intimidating voice singing at you like a general from hell commanding you to march

I want to lock myself in solitary confinement and listen to this on repeat for years

The other day for some reason I started this song in my house and my grandfather started speaking in German and singing this song, greetings from Argentina 🇦🇷

1940 nostalgia

I was working on an old man’s house, had horse hair insulation in the walls, and dirt basement, I was singing this song while I was working, not knowing he had heard me and came to the basement, when I noticed him he said “you know that song well” and I could tell he knew it as well.

“Bro why do you have slowed down Erika on your playlist” “Bro, trust me it slaps in slowed”

after watching the movie "Downfall" this hits hard

Watching just before sleep, sweet dreams!

"Son." "Yes, papa?" "Hear that singing?" "Yes, papa." "That's the German men touring Europe on foot while missing their girl at home." "Oh. So they play free music for us while they go on tour?" "Somewhat. I won't tell you yet the price we'll have to pay to hear this song. You'll understand when you're older." "So they are traveling musicians who have a mysterious method of extracting profit." "You can say so, son. But what they gain today, they can lose tomorrow. Don't learn from their ways." "Yes, papa."

We played this at the Hanukkah party! It’s hard to find good music for my super strict Jewish family. But it was pretty fun: we just all camped in the house listening to music and this song came on from my playlist. We all couldn’t stop concentrating on how pretty this song is. Good song.

dear world, you woke up a giant.👹🇩🇪

"The good old days"👴

Ah the good old days.

Brave German Singing From Heaven. Be With You Soon Men.

Lyrics for some reason: Auf der Heide blüht ein kleines Blümelein Und das heißt: Erika. Heiß von hunderttausend kleinen Bienelein Wird umschwärmt, Erika. Denn ihr Herz ist voller Süßigkeit, Zarter Duft entströmt dem Blütenkleid. Auf der Heide blüht ein kleines Blümelein Und das heißt: Erika. In der Heimat wohnt ein kleines Mägdelein Und das heißt: Erika. Dieses Mädel ist mein treues Schätzelein Und mein Glück, Erika. Wenn das Heidekraut rot-lila blüht, Singe ich zum Gruß ihr dieses Lied. Auf der Heide blüht ein kleines Blümelein Und das heißt: Erika. In meinem Kämmerlein blüht auch ein Blümelein Und das heißt: Erika.

POV: You fo to funeral and they put the wrong music💀

For some reason, that's how I imagined what UnBerlin would be like or sound like. (similar to Unlondon or SCP-1678 except it's in Germany)

Just waiting for this to become the next "everywhere at the end of time."

Hermosa canción 🇲🇽🤙

My friend:so what music do you hear Me:it's complicated

The fabled victory version that would have been used if they won the war

This gives off vibes of that zombie army trilogy game

This is in my calming playlist

2:22-3:10 gave me chills

Imagine your a German soldier bleeding out in some Russian field outside of Moscow as this plays while it all fades to black.

this is quite the relaxing ngl

A German 85 years after ww2 looks up in the sky the clouds open and sees heaven and his friend German soldiers all singing this song

When I heard this song I threw a potato out my kitchen window, and it exploded.

Damn, so inspirational.

Good job, man)

This would sound scary but i was silently singing IT at math class during exam And got 4 This version of cute girl who likes flower makes me full of determination and knowledge

I feel we should all remember that the Nazi soldiers were all just that, soldiers just like the others that fought

A fascist at night is scary.

AWESOME - AMAZING , THANKS .

My workout jam

My grandad said he loved this music in paris

This a banger ngl.

My Jewish neighbors loved this so much they broke my window and called the police to listen to this.

What I really hate is that the song has been used by the nazis and now apparently it's a bad song...but it's actually good if you remove the Nazi thing

The classic German march from the 1940's

Masterpiece

The guy's clothes look awesome...!

ما يميز الجندي الالماني اولا النظافه الشخصيه وثانيا الاناقه وثالثا الانضباط الذاتي ، التناسق هو الهيكل الذي يعتمد عليه الجمال ( ولباس التقوى ذلك خير ) صدق الله العظيم
