Although the band has travelled all over the world, their hearts still remain in Hamburg. The name DenManTau originates from a dying language in northern Germany often used by sailors, the word meaning, “all hands on deck.” This paints the picture of what DenManTau represents: pulling together to help bring life to what they perceive as a dying world. Paul Weber, lead singer and trumpeter of DenManTau, found his passion at a young age. Playing the trumpet since he was only six and performing at the age of eight, it was clear his calling was music. “I started the band when I was just 13 years old,” Weber said. “I felt compelled to do this and that my purpose was devoted to music.” DenManTau developed a unique sound over the years that is universally appealing to the public.
They implement folk, funk, jazz and rock, and incorporate a diverse variety of rhythms into their music. This distinct genre of music has been identified as bohemian dance rock.

Denmantau Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We have to speak clear
And we are living on the earth
We have to stay here
Praying and shaping is all I need
Creating by making when I cut off my needs
And heroes are made of this chemistry
I am losing my mind
I have to drink beer
You are supporting my life
You have to stay here
Praying and shaping is all I need
Creating by making when I cut off my needs
Heroes are made of this chemistry
Praying and shaping is all I need
We are missing the point
We have to speak clear
We are living on the earth
We have to stay here
I am losing my mind
I have to drink beer
You are supporting my life
You have to stay here
Praying and shaping is all I need
Creating by making when I cut off my needs
Heroes are made of this chemistry
Praying and shaping is all I need
We are heroes, heroes indeed you are,
We are heroes
The lyrics in Denmantau's song "Heroes" are about the importance of being clear and intentional with our words and actions. The first two lines "We are missing the point, we have to speak clear" suggest that there is a message or intention that is not being communicated effectively. The next two lines "And we are living on the earth, we have to stay here" reveal the urgency and importance of being clear and intentional in how we live our lives on this planet.
The chorus of the song talks about the power of prayer and intentional creation. The lyrics "Praying and shaping is all I need, creating by making when I cut off my needs" suggest that when we focus on our intentions and cut away distractions and unnecessary wants, we can create something powerful and meaningful. The line "Heroes are made of this chemistry" reinforces the idea that heroism comes from intentional action and strong will.
The second verse adds a personal perspective, with the lines "I am losing my mind, I have to drink beer / You are supporting my life, you have to stay here." These lines suggest that the singer is struggling with some sort of personal crisis and is reliant on someone else for support. However, they recognize the importance of the support and the need for both parties to stay grounded and present.
Overall, the song "Heroes" encourages intentional living and the power that comes from clear communication, focused creation, and supporting each other through our struggles.
