Default The German Language

As someone who grew up in Germany, and as someone who is just fascinated by languages, I always wondered, how the German language must sound to someone who doesn't understand it, or is just not used to hearing it.

I mean.. ofc. You always hear that German must sound ultra stiff and edgy, but I somehow can't really believe that. So does that mean the language does not sound beautiful? Cuz as I recall it it's ****ing beautiful.. It's poetic and deep and you can express urself so flowery, lol..

Like when I listen to calm german music, like Max Herre, I think: "How can that sound hard to anyone? It's such a soft, and flowing language.
Max Herre - Anna

ofc.. when you hear Rammstein you think: "Whaaaat the **** is going on?", but Rammstein do not really talk german. They roll their R like ****, NOBODY would ever talk like that..

I believe Bavarian might sound cool tho, hehe.
Hans Söllner - Marijuana fürn Herrn Zimmermann

I'd be really thankful if someone would try this out and listen to the songs and just tell me how the language sounds in their ears.
thank you
