"We are the children of Fritz Lang and Werner Von Braun. We are the link between the ’20s and the ‘80s. All change in society passes through a sympathetic collaboration with tape recorders, synthesizers and telephones. Our reality is an electronic reality." - Kraftwerk

And it rolls like thunder and it hits like lightnin'

When you're going under, it lifts you up again

Right now that kick drum feels like a heartbeat

I'll start falling for that long lost melody

And I'll find out who it is I'm supposed to be

I put the radio on

Saving myself with a song

I find the strength to move on

There in the moment I'm strong

I put the radio on

I loved this song the first time I heard it, but it gained extra resonance since I discovered The Amazing Devil, because this is exactly how their music makes me feel. As such, there's a tiny TAD Easter egg/tribute in this flake to a certain part of TAD's music that gets me every single time and it's low-key TAD fanart as well as for Kylie.
