The title of RFWK is one of many references to OMD’s musical heroes, Kraftwerk. The letters are the first initials of each member of Kraftwerk’s most famous lineup:
Ralf Hütter
Florian Schneider
Wolfgang Flür
Karl Bartos
The lyrics could be taken as a love song to Andy’s discovery of Kraftwer...
I love you when I found you
I loved you like a son
You wrapped your arms around me and the loading had began
And all the years of passion
And what I have become
The only constant through it all is what you had began
At times I feel I've triumphed
Times I know I fell
But even when I've screwed it up
I'd tried to do it well
I guess that I must thank you now
This may the last time
Whatever life may bring you I pray that you'll be fine
I love you when I found you
I loved you like a son
You wrapped your arms around me and the loading had began
And all the years of passion
And what I have become
The only constant through it all is what you had began
Repeat
