Rammstein - Weit Weg - Cowboy Version (Red Dead Redemption 2 Remix)
Every time I’ve played Red Dead Redemption 2 since the game came out, I always wind up singing this during the loading screens because the chords and key are identical to Weit Weg by Rammstein. And now, thanks to @flammen_meer uploading the Weit Weg vocal track, I was able to make this a reality that I could share with you!
This is not a cover, it’s a very simple remix. I slowed the Rammstein vocal track down from 100 BPM to 70 BPM to match the RDR2 track, chopped the RDR2 track up to make a different arrangement that suited the song structure and melody, then added a couple of effects to the vocals, balanced the levels, and job done.

// German Lyrics:
Niemand kann das Bild beschreiben
Gegen seine Fensterscheibe
Hat er das Gesicht gepresst
Und hofft, dass sie das Licht anlässt
Ohne Kleid sah er sie nie
Die Herrin seiner Fantasie
Er nimmt die Gläser vom Gesicht
Singt zitternd eine Melodie
Der Raum wird sich mit Mondlicht füllen
Lässt sie fallen, alle Hüllen
Der Anblick ist ihm sehr gewogen
Spannt seine Fantasie zum Bogen
Der Atem stockt, das Herz schlägt wild
Malt seine Farben in ihr Bild
Steht er da am Fensterrand
Mit einer Sonne in der Hand
Ganz nah
So weit weg von hier
So nah
Weit, weit weg von dir
Ganz nah
So weit weg sind wir
So nah
Weit, weit weg von mir
Wieder ist es Mitternacht
Ich stehle uns das Licht der Sonne
Weil es immer dunkel ist
Wenn der Mond die Sterne küsst
Ganz nah... So nah...
Ganz nah
So weit weg von dir
So nah
So weit weg sind wir
Ganz nah... So nah...
// English Translation by Google, made singable by JDDS:
No one can describe the scene
Standing by the window pane
He’s pressed his face right up against
And hopes she leaves the lights turned on
He’s never seen under her dress
The mistress of his fantasies
He takes his glasses off his face
And, trembling, sings a melody
The room is filled with moonlight
As all the layers drop to the floor
Exhilarated at the sight
Fantasy fired from a bow
His breathing short, heart beating fast
His mind painting on her canvas
He’s standing at the window’s edge
With the sunlight in his hand
Up close
You’re so far away
So close
Far away from you
Up close
That’s how far away
So close
Far away from me
Once again it’s midnight
I hide us from the piercing sunlight
’Cause it’s only in the dark
That the moon kisses stars
Up close... So close...
Up close
You’re so far away
So close
That’s how far away
Up close... So close...
