Tanzmusik
Kraftwërk Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The lyrics of Kraftwerk's song Tanzmusik speak to the power and universality of dance music. The song suggests that dance music is not simply a type of music, but rather a force that brings people together and compels them to move. The lyrics suggest that dance music has the ability to communicate beyond language and cultural barriers, tapping into a universal human instinct to move and groove. The song's refrain simply states, "Tanzmusik, Tanzmusik," emphasizing the simplicity and universality of the message.
The verse lyrics of the song add further nuance to this thesis, suggesting that dance music brings people together by helping them forget their differences and simply enjoy the experience of moving together. The lyrics suggest that dance music helps people "forget the noise and confusion" and "escape from their own reality." In this sense, dance music is not simply a form of entertainment, but a form of escape and transcendence. The song's use of electronic sounds and pulsing beats further reinforces this idea, suggesting that dance music is a futuristic, almost otherworldly force that has the power to transcend the limitations of our everyday lives.

I’m 21 but woah… this song is SO transcendental. Like I just got transported to a happy place where it’s bright and sunny and I’m just lying down in a large open grass field

Thanks for the lovely appreciation of what is now quite an old piece of music. That a younger person can relate to the sound and enjoy makes my day! Hope you also get to hear the following track on the Ralf/Florian album "Pineapple Symphony " It's also underappreciated by some way.

@busdrinkerwell I’m 22 now as I’m replying to you!

Its a real shame that Ralf and Florian disassociated themselves from the early albums. There's some outstanding music on them.

RIP Florian. Your beautiful music lit up my life as a child in 1975, and has done so ever since.

this song relaxes me so much. I have social phobia and recent years mild OCD. I get happy and relaxed. as if I'm in middle of a field dancing under a sunny sky... I liked Kraftwerk, but I never knew that they recorded this
