  Weltschmerz - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Weltschmerz (from the German meaning world-pain or world-weariness, see wiktionary entry) is a term coined by the German author Jean Paul and denotes the kind of feeling experienced by someone who understands that the physical reality can never satisfy the demands of the mind.
The modern meaning of Weltschmerz in the German language is the psychological pain caused by sadness, that can occur when realizing that someone's own weaknesses are caused by the inappropiateness and cruelness of the world and (physical and social) circumstances.
In pop music, Weltschmerz and especially dark romanticism play an important part in the goth subculture.

Weltschmerz may be defined as the poetic expression of an abnormal sensitiveness of the feelings to the moral and physical evils and misery of existence--a condition which may or may not be based upon a reasoned conviction that the sum of human misery is greater than the sum of human happiness.
The representatives of cosmic Weltschmerz are those poets whose first concern is not their personal fate, their own unhappiness, it may be, but who see first and foremost the sad fate of humanity and regard their own misfortunes merely as a part of the common destiny.
Weltschmerz is essentially a symptom of a period of conflict, of transition.

Weltschmerz is having difficulty coming to terms with the atmosphere of unreality permeating the proceedings at the ICC.
Weltschmerz's confusion was dispelled however, by his discovery that this was indeed an illusion, when the distinguished representative appeared to utter the word `oil', an event unknown in the history of the treaty negotiations.
In an obviously entirely unrelated development, Weltschmerz would like to highlight one figure, who stands alone against the tide, resisting the unseemly rush to the bright lights of international media coverage.

The charge of affectation in their Weltschmerz would be an entirely baseless one, both in the case of Hoelderlin and Lenau.
Further evidence that Lenau's Weltschmerz was constitutional, while Hoelderlin's was the result of experience, lies in this very fact, that nowhere do the writings of the former exhibit that stage of buoyant expectation, youthful enthusiasm, or hopeful striving, which we find in some of the earlier poems of the latter.
Hoelderlin's Weltschmerz is altogether the most naive of the three; Lenau's, while it still remains sincere, becomes self-conscious, while Heine has an unfailing antidote for profound feeling in his merciless self-irony.

I believe that this episode, which on the surface deals with a funny Valentine's adventure, in fact grapples with the weighty issue of Weltschmerz.
Weltschmerz is a German word which loosely means "world suffering deriving from the inevitability of reality to never match up with our expectations." Boy, only the Germans could come up with a word like that.

Americans still talk of the “Forefathers” as if waiting for a berating, unable to forge ahead and think for themselves, preferring to indulge in old dogma and to languish in something that amounts to idolatry.
Perhaps it is that Americans are learning what it is to live in the world and that the world is full of pain, Weltschmerz.
That America’s idyll existed only because of insulation from the real world, both geographically and in their not being required to socially interact with people of other nations.

 Types of Weltschmerz in German Poetry, by Wilhelm Alfred Braun   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
If Hölderlin’s Weltschmerz has been fittingly characterized as idealistic, Lenau’s on the other hand may appropriately be termed the naturalistic type.  He is par excellence the “Pathetiker” of Weltschmerz.
That Lenau was a neurasthenic seems to be the consensus of opinion, at least of those medical authorities who have given their views of the case to the public.[82] This fact also has an important bearing upon our discussion, since it will help to show a materially different origin for Lenau’s Weltschmerz and Hölderlin’s.
Another characteristic difference between Lenau’s Weltschmerz and Hölderlin’s lies in the fact that the writings of the latter do not exhibit that absolute and abject despair which marks Lenau’s lyrics.  Typical for both poets are the lines addressed by each to a rose:

 Weltschmerz - official website
The WELTSCHMERZ "project" rose in 1994, after Anthony Duman's experience in 1989 as the former Monumentum's bass player ("Musaeum Hermeticum" demotape.)
One of the meanings of the WELTSCHMERZ word from the German is "The Pain of the World"; a sense of deep Nostalgia for the Endless
The dark and dramatic side of the music of WELTSCHMERZ is deliberate and tries to reflect, to exorcize it, the actual condition of the human being, that wanders without destination between the more unbridled materialism in search of an objective reality of life.

 CD Review of Kakalla - The Seeds Of Analog Rebellion on Weltschmerz Records @ jazzreview.com
The visual aspect of Kakalla’s musical cinematics continue with “The Grand Inquisitor,” set up in a court, referring to The Brothers Karamazov, as Kneeland takes the suggestions inherent in the scene to musical re-creation by contrasting the rhythm of the opening motive with the free improvisation of the remainder of the piece.
And still, Kakalla finds interest in the possibilities of poetry, specifically “The Sea, The Bells,” inspired by Chilean poet Pablo Neruda, which consists of a relatively simple structure of descending modulations in three-four as Sabatini plays the parallel intervals of each phrase with his signature sense of Weltschmerz.
And in mythology, such as “The Death Of Sysyphus,” an exercise in free unplanned improvisation, with the addition of electronic effects, for a sonic texture, gradually growing into intensity and detail.

Although their 1975 album is called Weltschmerz, all songs contain English lyrics except 'Weit Weg'."

A good example comes in 'Maha Pralaya': "collective erosion has gone too far: disturbing beauty, as dismal as the soul can feel: in this department of delusions horizon's my bed: immobile's my soul, stunned by persistence of visions!"
As much as I try, I can't help but isolate some unnervingly Bauhaus-orientated influence in Weltschmerz, but at the same time the band has successfully forged its own definitive sound; a unique combination of typically steady-paced darkwave background, abstract lyrics and haunting vox.
Overall, this is a well-rounded album if you're in to a bit of darkwave.
