Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Use dmy dates Шаблон:Infobox song Шаблон:Infobox song "Durch den Monsun" (Шаблон:Lang-en) and "Monsoon" are songs by German pop rock band Tokio Hotel. The German version of "Durch den Monsun" was released as the band's debut single in 2005 from their debut album, Schrei. The album Schrei also contains the Japanese version of the song. An English version named "Monsoon" was later recorded and included in the band's first English album, Scream, and released as their first English single in 2007.

In August 2020, Tokio Hotel announced new versions of "Durch den Monsun" and "Monsoon" to celebrate the single's 15th anniversary,[1] with the German version appearing on Tokio Hotel's seventh album, 2001. "Durch den Monsun 2020" and "Monsoon 2020" were respectively released on 2 and 16 October 2020.[2][3]

History

Tokio Hotel released "Monsoon"—their first English-language single—in Europe on 18 May 2007. The vocals and melodies in "Monsoon" are one semitone lower than its German counterpart. The song was performed at the MTV Europe Music Awards 2007 in Munich, Germany.[4]

"Durch den Monsun" was named "Best Song 2005" at the Austrian Golden Penguin Awards and was also nominated as "Best Single International" at the Amadeus Awards in 2006. In 2007, "Durch den Monsun" was voted "Single of the Year" at the Golden Penguin Awards in Austria while Monsoon won in the category "Best Video" at the TMF Awards in Belgium. In the following year Monsoon claimed the titles "Best Ringtone" and "Song of the Year" at Los Premios MTV Latinoamérica 2008,[5] "Number 1 of the Year" at TRL Awards (Italy),[6] and was also named "Best Mood Song" and "Song that Stays in your Head" by a Dutch magazine, Hitkrant.[7]

Music videos

The music video for the German version of the song features a stage looking like it was shot underwater. It starts off Kaulitz holding a black candle sitting next to a broken door with no building behind it, then the candle's flame goes out. Many scenes feature Bill singing underwater and upside down. There is one scene where Tom Kaulitz appears to be singing along in a mirror-like door before disappearing.

The music video for the English version of the song, "Monsoon", was shot in Cape Town, South Africa in early May 2007. It features scenes of the band in a Bell UH-1 Huey helicopter and then free falling and landing on the ground. After they land, the band members walk to a stage (although scenes of them on the stage are already shown before the free fall scene) and start performing. As the song nears the end and the beat intensifies, a storm rumbles and heavy rain starts to fall on the band as they play. The video also shows scenes of lead singer Bill Kaulitz in the back of a black driverless Cadillac limousine with a typewriter.

The lyric video features various clips of rain, running water and droplets hitting puddles. Toward the end the video, Kaulitz bathes his face in water and frolicks in the rain. The video also features visual samples of the original German and English music videos.[23]

The video features various clips of Kaulitz singing in the rain, old clips of Tokio Hotel TV 2007-2008, snippets from older music videos including "Durch den Monsun"; "Monsoon"; "Automatisch"; "Something New", and snippets from older concerts and award shows. The music video ends with Kaulitz standing at the edge of a large swimming pool.[24]
