At one point during the show, the band released a bunch of balloons. Carlo watched as one of those balloons drifted over the wall into East Berlin. He imagined a radar picking up that one balloon and mistaking it for an enemy plane. Carlo wrote the lyric and Nena's keyboard player, Uwe Fahrenkrog-Petersen, wrote the music.\n\nHere's the official music video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hiwgOWo7mDc.", "location": 1, "location_name": "Default", "play_type": "trackplay" }
