the best singles from all years

In the summer of 2021, a herd of elephants leaves its reserve in southern China – marching north through highways, villages, cities. They trample crops, raid grain silos, and shake the illusion of control. 

This song isn’t a wildlife tale. It’s a reminder: If we leave no space for nature, it will take it back. “March of the Elephants” is a heavy, defiant anthem. The sound of the earth rising. Proud. Loud. Relentless.

“Turn Me On (Flag and the Wind)” tells of forces seeking each other. The wind drives, the flag responds. Man and woman in the dance of attraction – barely noticeable alone, yet full of expression together. Only in union do energy, colour, and power become visible: together we are more.

The legends come alive: deep beneath the waves, the Kraken waits – unseen, unstoppable, and deadly. With each strike it devours ships, drags sailors below, and claims the sea as its own. Kraken Attack transforms the ancient fear of the giants of the deep into pure rock sound.

Far below the ocean’s surface, Humboldt squids lurk in the dark — swift, silent and merciless. Their prey is lured by hypnotic flashes, only to be seized in an instant. But the real “Monsters of the Deep” aren’t just in the sea: they’re also the fears we carry since childhood — invisible, yet ever-present. This song merges the raw force of nature with the shadows within, reminding us that some monsters never truly disappear.

Many people seem to walk through the world with their heads down and their eyes fixed on their cell phones. Whether in conversation or during leisure time, they are constantly checking new messages as if the other person is irrelevant. The constant distraction of the endless pinging doesn't allow anyone to relax. People are simply ripped out of life, just like a beachgoer is swept out into the open water by a riptide in a matter of seconds.

This is what happens when people divide: When the fight is over, all weapons are on the ground. And sometimes the opponents themselves, together to their destruction. All that remains is the battlefield ground.

In 1912, explorer Ernest Shackleton set out on board the ENDURANCE with a crew of 26 sailors and a stowaway to traverse Antarctica on foot from north to south. But it turned out quite differently. Unable to handle the thickening pack ice, the ship was frozen 19 miles short of the destination. The crew had no choice but to persevere through the Antarctic winter. But that was just the beginning...

A self-deprecating song about musicians who've been on stage for quite a while... and know all the trappings of show business, in front of and (especially) behind the scenes. So be careful, they know how to do it. Never underestimate them!

The guy is a crook and looking for "Mrs. Right". But she is only the right one if she also has rich parents and you can marry easily. With the ring in his jacket, he drives to her to propose marriage ... and that is going to be quite a surprise!

Ardennes, December 1944. The US paratroopers of Easy Company believe that the war will soon be over and have dug their foxholes near Bastogne. But suddenly all hell breaks loose; the final counterattack, the Battle of the Bulge, has begun. The liberators have to pay a high price...

At a party, a young man falls in love with a girl at first sight. At the same time, an astronomer observes the stars in the dark... and discovers a strange glow. With each glance, he discovers contours until it becomes a face with which he falls in love. Both find the light in the darkness of the lonely stars.

Sometimes things don't work out as you would like them to be. And sometimes it's time for hard cuts in life. Once you have taken the step, there is no turning back. Use the chance, recognize your possibilities. Because in front of you lies your unwritten future. Grab it and create it the way you want it!

A racing driver dreams of winning the Daytona 500 Race and has been training very hard for many years. When the engines start, there is no turning back. He has the steering wheel firmly in his hand and is fully concentrated on the start. But someone has been waiting for him. In the middle of the race, he realizes that he's up against the devil...

During this time, in the Scottish coal mines the law of slavery ruled. After a great uprising, a few were able to flee to the New World, where they lived their lives as frontiers, in freedom but in the wilderness. But the shadows of the past even follow them on the new continent...

History is being made on the international speedway at the Bonneville Salt Flats: This team wants the impossible and chases Mach 1 to break the sound barrier - not with a jet, but with a rocket car called Thunderstruck. The preparations are in full swing, will we hear the bang?

Everyone knows them: The all-rounders. As a rule, they always know what to do. Unless they have to do it themselves. And if they annoy us too much with that, we just make a song about it.

5 AM - a group of friends is sitting in a café in Berlin to eat their breakfast, after a long night of partying. At the same time, a man in a suit with a briefcase and a coffee in his thermos walks past the window to go to work. He looks at the group of friends and smirks - he used to be one of them, taking a breakfast at 5 AM...

First you hear the drums from a distance, then the ships come into sight. When the Vikings go ashore, only one thing helps: Let's get out of here!

The 1984 hit re-recorded with the sound of today! In addition there is the B-Side of the so far only partly released song Anticipation.

Second World War: A spy is on a secret mission in the northern Sahara to deliver an important message that cannot be transmitted. Will he make it to Ras Gharib to fulfill his mission?
