The Radio Dept.

"People see rock and roll as, as youth culture, and when youth culture becomes monopolised by big business, what are the youth to do? Do you, do you have any idea?
I think we should destroy the bogus capitalist process that is destroying youth culture."


- "Heaven's On Fire" by The Radio Dept.

You might not know what to expect when you hear the dialogue in the introduction of this song. Is it about our generation? About the government? Is he really talking about capitalism? However, as you keep listening, you lose yourself to the feel-good piano and upbeat guitar giving the song an ambient yet dance-pop beat. Though the lyrics are about the hideousness that is the girl, the music is suitable to a "wake up in the morning (feeling like P-Diddy?)" type-song.
