Describe Tilo in Three Words
« on: July 03, 2007, 08:24:46 »
Those who have been close to him, of course!

So, how would you describe him? What words match closest to what you think it's him? Anything that can be made together like a puzzle to form some close version of what he might be. You'll put the pieces, ok? :)

Wether it gets a real enough or is just for fun, I would love to hear what you say. I hope this hasn't been done around here before, if it has, I'm sorry for repeating.

And finally a question... do you think, maybe in a little percent, that Tilo has something like arrogance? Maybe I'm not choosing the right word, but sometimes when I see him I get an overpowering feeling, or sense of his escence. And many times I have the feeling he overshadows Anne; like when in interviews he does all the talking, sometimes in stage he seems to come by to her, just to kinda step forward, in front of her, and take all the attention.

Don't get me wrong, I love Tilo, I love Anne, I love Lacrimosa, very much and very deeply. Is just something I've been sensing from some time and I wanted to hear your opinion about it.

But this is just a question of what you think about it, don't forget to describe him, however you think he is, in three words!

[Unfortunately I can't start cause I don't know him, so you first  ;) ]

this makes me sad...not that I don't have the idea, I do have but I think it's not proper to do this...he is human how would you feel to read people try to describe yourself? I didn't talk to him yet, passed him bye and that was kind of enough exitment at that very moment so...wait until you have the dvd and you'll be able to know how it is to meet him ;)  patience my friend patience...

@Longwaytogo: oh common! I wouldn't have a problem with people trying to describe me, and besides, I've heard enough about me in my school (friends and maybe not so friendly people), but it's not like we're going to critic the man here with these 3 words. I mean, I did asked the question, but it's just something I felt, and like you said, we are all human, nobody is perfect. I would critic myself for many things, but that is not the case here. It's most probable we're describing the good man and hard worker Tilo, the one who makes his work and life, or some part of it, available for us to listen through Lacrimosa.

And I don't think I can know him by just watching the DVD. Maybe not even by being in front of him for some autographs, but I know what you mean. I'll have a better idea. But still, I wanted to hear other's opinion. I've read some few opinions scattered around the net, but I wanted to read them here, all in one place.

Finally, I'm sorry if I was too direct, and I'm sorry that this thread made you sad.

perhaps you are right sarai, I was complaining out of own intentions...there is nothing wrong with to discover how he might be, it's just these words are just words...what you feel is in my eyes more important then what someone describes, cause that is just someone trying to put own feelings into words and others feelings are not always your own feelings, as I read many have other ideas about how Tilo "might" be cause as you mentioned because you stand 10 minutes in front of someone it doesn't mean that you know how he is...I know my boyfriend for 4 years and a half and I still don't fully know him...getting to the bottom of someone takes time and it just felt like nevermind... there was no need to so I appologize!

see it's always like people clame i'm in love with that acteur or that artist while aspecially with the acteurs how can you? it's someone playing a role not even being himself...in this case it's something else since we know Tilo as an artist puts his whole being in the music and we MIGHT get an idea how he feels but still we don't know his background, we do not know his life so in my eyes(I don't mean that hard alright it's just my own idea about it) it's a bit hypocrit to "describe" a men that you saw for few minutes in three words...and love myeah I discussed this "how can I not love him"  :) but that's the same love as I feel for Anne as for the musicians just cause they give so much and perhaps not even cause I love them as person but more like because of the music ...but then again the music is them and so I do love them then right? ... donno I am a bit confused...it's just...this all thing with my emotions into music makes me believe I at least know them a bit though deep inside I know I don't and perhaps that's what made me sad by reading your question...I can love them as musicians but can I love them as persons? ...sorry for my strange acting it was something that popped up in my mind while I was watching the dvd all the time that last question...though I feel what I feel and that's love...

My appologize! I didn't want to spoil the fun of this for you, it's just me and my ridiculous thoughts, I have too much time right now

No, don't apologize, everyone has their own opinions and the right to express them. :)

Now I dunno what to say, cause you have a point, yet it confuses me as maybe it confuses you. About loving the music and not the person because we don't know it, but by loving the music, you must love the person behind it... is like, so abstract... do we love one thing or the other, or both? And do we know the music and not the person? How can we be sure to fully understand the music therefore, if we do not know what's behind it?

It all comes to each one's interpretations, doesn't it? And we all can love in different ways. I love or have loved many actors and artists (i.e, musicians), but all in different ways. And whether the actor is just pretending, the way he did his work, the way he made the character believable or just what and/or how the character is, can make me love the actor. Cause if I love a character, what's bahind it to make it possible (in a movie) is the actor (sometimes a combination of many things, but I usually go for the actor, which is the most visable figure from the work of the character). I dunno, that's how I see it, but it can be in so many ways for other people. Love is complicated as life.

And is true that sometimes, by loving these people that we seldom know, we come into the idea that we know them, when we really don't. Probably all that we have is an idea created by interpretations, like my interpretation of Tilo's actions in different interviews and live shows I've watched around. But maybe is nothing close to what he really is. And that's why I asked, to see if other's would see it as a totally absurd idea, or would feel something close to what I did.

yeah exatly that are the questions that wont leave my mind in peace...I once was sure, I know them I truely know them with heart and soul but then came the idea how can you you never spoke them, you never met them how can you so I thought and claimed that what I feel is not always what they need to be, you see it's a bit like with actors you can fall in love at a charachter cause of the things he does during a movie, cause of the things he said during the movie,... like that it's like with Lacrimosa certain songs give me the love, the affection, the comfort I need in certain moments of my life and because of that I can't do else but loving the one(s) who made that music and at that point I wont revisit my thoughts...but then again how can I be sure that Tilo want to give me this love, this affection, this comfort, or in another way how can I be sure that he has really put it in there? how can I even be sure that it's not just an illusion like with the movies? and so I can go on for ages if you want  :) it drived me crazy more then once but then again I learn out of it and know already answer that I didn't have when i first learned to know Lacrimosa (already 7 years ago now)
as I said to Morgentau sometimes we need to hold on to hopes even if they seem impossible, sometimes it's just better to hold on to something then to leave this world ...and that's what I learned out of the music, the very first thing I learned not even how high the mountain is believe that you'll be able to climb it and you WILL climb it.
but then again how you can know it's not an illusion? (I fear them to death)

it's true we can love in many ways, too many ways perhaps and everbody will feel it differently, but one thing is sure we should never stop following our nature...

XD It's a mind-boggling conversation we're having here. And even if I understand your fear for getting ilusions, specially on love, I think sometimes illusions, like dreams, are important. Somewhat to what Morgentau said, even if it seems impossible to reach, or if it seems unreal, it can give you the courage or power to create something real out of it. For example, the love you feel for Lacrimosa. What if there really wasn't any love behind Lacrimosa, or any powerful force creating things in specific order or plans (like Tilo creating his music), what if that wasn't there and Lacrimosa was really shallow... you still found love through it. You still abstracted an emotion or feeling from the music whether it had that love for you there, or not. Do you understand what I say? Is just that your comment or question of whether you should feel love for Lacrimosa if Tilo didn't wanted you to feel that, troubles me. Maybe I understood wrong. But I think that's a really personal decision. I don't think it depends on another person if you should enjoy something or not, if you can find something beautiful or not. But that's only me.

"it's true we can love in many ways, too many ways perhaps and everbody will feel it differently, but one thing is sure we should never stop following our nature..."

Our nature... it's funny cause it makes me think, what really is our nature? Sometimes we found dreadful things in this world, in our behavior, and always try to change it, but keep finding it through history of human kind. Our nature must be however we've been behaving all these centuries. I still wonder how it really is...

But that's off the point, and it seems so pesimistic, you can ignore it if you want. :/

it was not Morgentau who showed it me (well also, he learned me to how to say it have a bit more respect for people's own opinion with what I still have it difficult though I do my best) but it was trough music of Lacrimosa I found that about the highest mountain, cause when I learned to know them I really climbed the highest mountain of my 19the years for now, of which I didn't think I would be able to climb it, I mean I kind of lost all hopes, all dreams of my life at the year of 10 and had to wait 3 years before I would find someone of who I think hasn't got an easy life himself and in first place find his music...and you didn't completely got me I don't lay awake rather he wants me to love his music or him he just has to live with it that I do  :lol: (that's me) but more like afraid that as I said it's all an illusion...sometimes you know I have the idea as if I lose myself to lacrimosa, as if Me Kitty isn't existing anylonger though life makes me see I do and that frightens me, I mean I always say it's better that music gets an obsession then chocolat but somehow I don't agree with myself, music shouldn't become an obsession it still needs to be healthy...and that's what I bother about afraid that someday I'll become the flower in the sun without water to drink...and perhaps you are right sometimes you indeed need hopes to hold on, even if you realise that they are wrong as I said to climb the highest mountain, it's just lacrimosa does too much with me, my feelings, my mind/brains, its since the dvd I got this again just like I had once I left the concert last year...very strange...

And about our nature I guess it's feeling the heart, although in this society its hard to do so...
