Overview
- Mark Forster broke into tears during a piano performance on Vox's Sing meinen Song, dedicating Unheilig's "So wie du warst" to a friend who died at 18.
- In the third episode recorded in Cape Town, he told the group he still visits his friend's grave and that showing such emotion on camera is rare for him.
- Forster rewrote parts of the lyrics with a new verse about the years since the loss and said it was the first time he had written a song for that friend.
- Unheilig frontman Der Graf cried during the performance, embraced Forster afterward, and later called the cover the song of the evening.
- The original track was Der Graf's tribute to his late father-in-law, which gave Forster's personal reinterpretation added weight within the show's cover format.
