The music video for Radio is released. Lyrically, the song addresses the cultural situation of the German Democratic Republic, where listening to Western radio stations and their music was illegal.
People would use their radios to pick up stations on the western side of the border, which was often their only connection to the rest of the world, in secret.
The video opens with a radio announcement (absent in the album version) that says "Achtung, Achtung. Hier ist Berlin Königs Wusterhausen und der Deutsche Kurzwellensender. Wir senden Tanzmusik", which translates as "Attention, Attention. This is Berlin Königs Wusterhausen and the German shortwave transmitter. We're broadcasting dance music". Königs Wusterhausen is the site where the first German radio transmitter was built in 1920. In 1933, it was seized by the Nazis to broadcast propaganda. After the Reunification of Germany, it became a museum.
THROWBACK TIME! As the start of the 2024 tour is approaching, I would like to ask you if there is a moment that made you happy at the 2023 shows you've attended? 💌
Hey sweety, thank you! 💗ヽ(´꒳`✿) omg I really love this question! It's always wonderful to reminisce about two special days that I will carry in my heart forever!
( ु⁎ᴗ_ᴗ⁎)ु.。Ok so, I attended the two concerts in Bern. In addition to fulfilling my dream of finally seeing them from the front row, I also ended up on the fancam. ✨️◝(✧▽✧)◜✨️
I love watching fancam moments and honestly... I expected anything in my life but to see myself on that screen! 😹 I was so surprised! Neither my friend nor I were filming so imagine my joy when I happened to find the footage on youtube around one month later! Thanks to a fan who decided to film the whole concert?! 😱 So yeah, I'm very grateful for that 🥺🤲🏻❤️ When I think back on it still makes me feel bubbly and joyful! (●°U°●)

Look at me. Listen. It's good that they look like they're pushing 60. Do you know why? Because they're pushing 60. Let's not mourn that six men in their late 50s don't look 25 anymore when we could be celebrating (and drooling, ngl) over how they look now 💜
Aging is a privilege and a miracle and it is beautiful.
Scott Christian Sava's art has inspired me for a very long time and in honour of me starting a new sketchbook, and since Rammstein lost for the 90s music alphabet day 18??? I must take things into my own hands.
That's better. (also the best stickers ever, oh my god rzk kills me every time)
