"Strom" ( Current ) is a song by Die Toten Hosen. It's the first single and the lead track from the album In aller Stille .
An electric current is the rate of flow of electric charge past a point or region. An electric current is said to exist when there is a net flow of electric charge through a region. In electric circuits this charge is often carried by electrons moving through a wire. It can also be carried by ions in an electrolyte, or by both ions and electrons such as in an ionized gas (plasma).
Die Toten Hosen is a German punk rock band from Düsseldorf.
In aller Stille is the eleventh studio album by the German punk band Die Toten Hosen. It's the first studio album in 4 years. The cover was designed by Dirk Rudolph. The central theme for this album is energy.
"Strom" can be described as the "soul" of the album, because its theme, energy, is also the main theme of the album. It's lyrically a comeback-song and an introduction to the album.
In physics, energy is the quantitative property that must be transferred to an object in order to perform work on, or to heat, the object. Energy is a conserved quantity; the law of conservation of energy states that energy can be converted in form, but not created or destroyed. The SI unit of energy is the joule, which is the energy transferred to an object by the work of moving it a distance of 1 metre against a force of 1 newton.
The first 8000 copies were limited digipak editions. The song was available as a free download on the band's website a week before the release of the single.
The video premiered on MTV and on the band's website on 24 October. It was directed by Philipp Stölzl.
Philipp Stölzl is a German film director, opera director and screenwriter. He began to direct music videos in the mid 1990s and directed his first feature film in 2002.
In the video, the band is rehearsing in the studio. A roadie offers to get some coffee and goes to get it. The band then starts playing as smoke starts coming from the electrical equipment. Soon, the wires on the ground catch fire. (This was really bound to happen, because in spite of elementary safety rules, the wiring lies on wet floor.) The band gets electrocuted and the whole room is filled with bolts of electricity. They stop playing for a while, but continue in a second. The high voltage turns them into skeletons, but the band plays on. As they finish playing the song, they collapse into bone piles. The roadie walks in and spills the coffee with astonishment.
