I believe this song was about the Berlin Wall separating east and west Germany being torn down..
Exactly it is thay are from Germany
Actually it was written after playing at the peace festival in the soviet union , the begining of the end of the soviet union and the cold war.
My family on my dad's side are from Germany. And yes this song was about the Berlin Wall. The family were divided from the west and the east, until 1989
@@tnandproud1918 It was written before the wall fell down, and doesnt signify it at all. As stated above, Klaus wrote it after the Moscow Peace Festival, based on a poem. It as mostly trying to capture the feeling that the divided Berlin would be reunited soon, and communism was on the brink in the SU. However Crazy World released after the wall, correlating the two together. To everybody it means something else. Universally a sign of hope, to Germans end of a W/E Berlin, to Russia the end of the SU, etc.
Rhe song was written September 1989 about Gorbatschow's Perestroika politic, after the scorpions played a festival in russia.
Klaus meine once said "there parants and grandparents once came with weapons and they came with guitares".
Cold War vet here who spent time in then divided Germany. All I can say that this song still rings loud looking back when the wall came down. This was played over and over when I was in Berlin last year to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the Berlin Wall falling.
Band from my hometown Hannover :) Song about my country :) but not only about my country, its about every country and about humanity and freedom :)
Hallo aus Berlin
What a wonderful time to eliminate walls, not create them. Perhaps that time will come again.
Moin aus Hamburg
Is Capitol, night club still around? it’s been many years since I was last in Hannover.
I was a young American Soldier stationed in (then) West Germany from 1986-1990; the feeling of relief in my young mind was a feeling of such joy!!! I haven’t heard this song in a long time. Thank you dear for reviewing it as it brought very good memories of old friends, hard and good times to my mind. Keep on keepin on sister!
What a time and place in history to serve. Thank You for your Service!
This is a great song, i remember hearing this in every place during 1991.
This song was writen for the historical moment when the wall of Berlin was comming down . Familys were splited before and reunited in this time after .
It's impossible for me to hear this song and not be reminded of how it was at that time (even without watching the music video).
When this song came out, it gave the country so much hope, people had something to look forward to
They are from Hannover which is the capital of Lower Saxony in northwestern Germany. Wind of Change is the hymn of the German reunification (despite some silly claims that honor would go to David Hasselhoff's "I've Been Looking for Freedom").
I am from Bayreuth myself.
*Hanover
I have an ex and was from Russian, and he is a huge Scorpions fan. This was a live performance in Russia, and it was a huge deal. The band is from Germany, and remember that Germany and Russia fought against each other in WWII. At the time of the concert, Russia was opening up to music, and other things from other countries, officially, and the people were really cut off for a long time, so it was just a really heartfelt gesture that they wanted to play there and that they were allowed to, extending an olive branch to each other. It was the embodiment of the song "Wind of Change". My ex had lots of Scorpions music, which he got on the black market, but most of his things had been left behind in the former USSR, and he bought them right up again when he got to the US. To be caught selling or buying, or even possessing such things in the USSR was a no no, and you could get into a whole lot of trouble. And so it was quite a thing for Scorpions to see that huge crowd come to their show and respond to their music, and to see them sing along, they knew all the words to all the songs.
If "Still Loving You" made you cry, then "Send me an Angel" will make you bawl uncontrollably. Check that one out.
Yes! Send Me An Angel!
the other 2 are more known but I like 'send me an angel' the best
For me, its "Under the same sun" That made me cry..
Rock You Like a Hurricane
This is a beautiful song. I was in germany when the wall fell. The whole street was outside unil the morning celebrating and crying. Cant listen to this without all the feelings flooding back.
Me, too. Was stationed in the Stuttgart Area - deployed during the 1st Gulf War - was there when the Wall fell - song still makes me cry - was in MA when Tiananmen Square had the tanks rolling out in the news…
So much happening…(Wiping eyes)…
I will never forget it. I have seen people dancing on the streets. Strangers were hugging each other, crying happy tears. Its good to know thats humans can act like they were touched by an angel
I just learned this song about 3 weeks ago, (the rhythm guitar part). My fiance lives in Ukraine. I had heard this song a 100 times but never really listened to the words or thought about it. I mostly listen to the sounds. Anyway, so when I was learning the words to sing it, it occurred to me, this HAS to be about the fall of the Berlin Wall. Sure enough, I looked it up and that is what its is about. I thought about that speech that President Reagan made at the Brandenburg gate.. "Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall." And I got very emotional. It meant something to me. I didn't even realize how the song had become an anthem throughout Eastern Europe for freedom, especially economic freedom, freedom from the chains of socialism. I guess that is why my fiance Elena likes it so much. I always liked it but now is one of my favorite songs.
7:12-the Scorpions are a German band that formed in 1965.
Such an idealistic hopeful song, so reflective of the moment it was made. The fall of the Berlin wall, and of the Iron Curtain, brought so much hope for a better world.
"did you ever think, that we could be so close - like brothers" always SLAYS me
Like: come-on ppl - were all human beings - were all brothers and sisters
I get tears every time I hear this song!
Gives me chills. I remember when the wall came down. A great day in history.
The band performance was at the 1936 Olympic stadium in Berlin with the torches lit. This was also the first Olympic stadium that included the torch relay. So even the stadium is a part of history.
The live performance here was in the Berlin Olympic Stadium, use for the Olympics in1936. And the torches were lit.
From Germany & they sang the day Berlin tore down the wall that split east & wear berlin . Also Roger Waters from Pink Floyd also did a show the day that wall came down .
Scorpions are from Germany. The song was written about the Berlin Wall coming down.
It wasn't just about the Berlin Wall coming down. The first lines are set in Moscow, and indeed Klaus Meine got the idea in Gorky park in Moscow. It's a hymn to the entire period of change, not just in Germany, but in Russia, too, and all over Eastern Europe.
@@ohauss yes thank you for elaborating. I just remember this song being played every time the news would show the deconstruction of the wall. But the song beautifully touches on the feelings of the end of the soviet era and begining of a new era of opportunities.
It definitely was a better soundtrack to the fall of the Berlin wall than David Hasselhoff's Looking For Freedom (Germans will understand).
Ironically, at the time of their first U.S. release, Virgin Killer, the band, with the exception of their drummer, Herman Rarebell, did not spesk English. Klaus was singing in English, but for the most part, didn't know exactly what he was singing.
@@One_Proud_Papa Makes me wonder if that was another bonus in picking/keeping Matthias, as his accent is virtually clear, and his English is impeccable.
One of the greats. Hauntingly beautiful
Such a moving song. I remember hearing it years ago. It means just as much today then it did when I first heard it as a teenager.
I had the pleasure of seeing them live a few times. They put on a great show every time!
I was only four years old when the Berlin Wall came down but this song still gives me such a feeling of joy and hope and relief every time I hear it.
The Scorpions is a german band from Hannover, Germany.
This song is about the fall of the wall between East- and Westgermany.
The song was primarily about the changing attitudes in Russia.
❤❤❤ Still amazing!😍👌
Next: "SEND ME AN ANGEL"
OMG, such a beautiful song!!!! A classic!!!
It’s a fantastic song that spans time and can be reapplied. The sad events in our country today. Are new to Us but not new to the world. The Wars. Berlin Wall separation of peoples. The religious rifts of Ireland. The Apartheid of South Africa. This song applies to them all and to those events that have not yet happened. So often the Boomers and Gen X are laughed at and accused of not being woke. But we have seen this stuff long before those whom label us. Were even born. And the great music from that time, with song like this speaks volumes.
Another fantastic song by Scorpions. Thank you for the reaction.
An antiwar epic song from the legendary German rock band Scorpions. The video captures the Fall of the Berlin Wall, an historical event.
I remember when the Berlin Wall came down in 1989. I BALLED IN TEARS OF JOY....
The Winds of Change was released in 1990 (I think) after the Berlin Wall was taken down. I had just graduated high school and remember it as it was in the news a lot.
Another good album from them is called " Love at first sting " .
Excellent song! I'm so glad it was requested. It's always been in my top 50 favorite songs :)
Lady Starlight is another beautiful ballad by Scorps
The very first time I heard this was while watching a Filipino cover band in Singapore. I had been at sea so didn't get to hear it before that. LOVE Scorpions.
Favorite song from them.
Beautiful song it has so much in the video which actually is going on in this world, Such an easy going song recognisable in any country or language. I guess you can call it one of those songs with universal meanings everybody understands.
They're German! I went to see them in Rennes, France, on June 30th 2018! The version of "Wind of Change" they did was acoustic, and much more beautiful in my point of view!
This song is timeless in a way that it would be so fitting right now as well as it was back then
Excellent Rock ballad 👏👏👏👏👏, one of my favorites
They're german band that song was in the celebration of the Berlin wall Fall.

This song is a running joke between my hubbs and me
I saw the movie Gorky Park as a child. It stuck with me as a 8 year old me saw headless, handless bodies in the snow. (The movie) then discovering music as a young adult. Hubbs is a metal enthusiast and enjoyed "educating " me musically. I always asked "is this Gorky Park??!!??" at the beginning of each note in this song. "Oh good grief YES" was his answer every time.
20 years later I have no need to ask, just pause and stare at him in the car.. lol
Thank you
Scorpions are a German heavy metal band formed in 1965 in Hanover by Rudolf Schenker. The album called Crazy World was propelled in large part by the massive success of the ballad "Wind of Change". The song muses on the socio-political changes that were occurring in Eastern Europe and other parts of the world at the end of the Cold War. I just loved Scorpions. Great songs.
Wind of Change stole the spotlight from one of their best albums, covering up most if not the entire album besides maybe, Tease Me Please Me and Send Me and Angel.
Very nice reaction video. I remember all those things happening when I was a kid too. Was a very amazing time. Loved your commentary after the song. One of the most powerful songs ever.
The Scorpions are from Germany... They create true art in my opinion... You will Love them I Believe😊
Actually the song is about the ending of the cold War.
The idea for the song came from the Moscow peace music festival in 1989. When Ozzy, Cinderella, skid row, Scorpions & others were allowed to play side by side with Russian bands like Gorky Park.
It was the first time Western heavy metal acts were allowed to play in the Solviet capital.
While they were writing the song the Berlin wall fell 3 months later. The band being from Germany (and seeing/living with the separation of thier country) included images of it falling in the music video.
Glad someone knows the true history of the song, and not the general wall reference.
Great song I've seen them in concert thay are one of the best concert I've seen
You are such a sweet person , you really get wrapped in a song when you listen to it
When the power of love overcomes the love of power ... then we will we see change...
The Scorpions ROCK!! 🤘 You should also listen to "Rhythm of Love", "Rock You Like a Hurricane", "The Zoo", and "Bad Boys Running Wild". 🦂🦂
You have asked, from where the scorpions come from, they are from germany, from al town called Hannover, and in germans this song is the unofficial hymn of the breakdown of the Berlin wall.
Essa balada belíssima dos Scorpions tocou muito aqui em São Paulo-Brasil, no ano de 1.991!
It was a huge hit all across the Europe in 1990's.
You should listen to "Scorpions - Always Somewhere"
I bet You will love it too.
Key references in the lyrics:
"Moskva" is the Russian name for both Moscow and the river that runs through Moscow.
"Gorky Park" is a major park along the Moskva River.
A "balalaika" is a Russian stringed instrument. It resembles a guitar but has a triangular body.
Very emotional song and reaction.
AC/DC is to Australia as Metallica is to USA as Scorpions is to Germany. All 3 bands get along with each other.
Aside. There are other German/Austrian musicians for listening: Nena (99 luftballoons, Anytime Anyplace Anywhere), the late Falco (Der Kommissar, Vienna Calling, Rock Me Amadeus), Die Tuten Hosen, Kraftwerk, Nina Hagen, Guano Apes, Tokio Hotel. Partial listing.
So sad watching this again, an anthem for the end of the cold war and here we are again, all that progress, undone.
Like many other songs this has a common misconception of what it is about (The Berlin Wall Coming Down). It was actually inspired by a rock concert they did in Russia. The song even mentions Gorky Park, which is in Russia:
Quote:
Interestingly, especially in light of the Scorpions’ background - the band hails from the city of Hannover, roughly 200 miles west of Berlin - “Wind of Change” was about neither the Berlin Wall nor their German homeland. Rather, its origins trace to the former Soviet Union, and specifically the Moscow Music Peace Festival, a two-day “hard-rock Woodstock” staged in August 1989, in the city’s 100,000-seat Lenin Stadium. The event, which saw the Scorpions, Ozzy Osbourne, Mötley Crüe, Cinderella and Skid Row perform alongside homegrown bands like Gorky Park and Brigada-S, marked the first time Western heavy-metal acts had been permitted to play in the Soviet capital. Broadcast in dozens of countries and on MTV in America, the festival was a triumph (if not without drama behind the scenes), and it inspired Meine, who had grown up in the looming shadow of the Iron Curtain, to begin writing “Wind of Change.”
Meine: There were so many emotional moments in Moscow. I guess it could have been Bon Jovi or Mötley Crüe, any of these guys who had gone home inspired by what they saw, but for them it was like, “Hey! We rocked the Soviet Union, dudes!” For us maybe it was different. We saw so many changes from Leningrad in ’88 to Moscow in ’89. That was the inspiration for “Wind of Change.”

Overall the song is a generalisation of moment where the wind has changed, hence the included footage of The Tank Man (Tienanmen Square massacre) and the line "Take me to the magic of the moment on a glory night" because he'd like to be at any moment in time where barriers fell and people began to unite, to experience the feeling.
There was a ballad/poem or something of the like that semi influenced the song aswell as the massive feelings around the time of the Moscow Peace Festival.
Scorpions are from Germany. Nobody does hard rock ballads better than the Scorpions. Try "When the Smoke is Going Down" which is a tribute to the fans after a concert is over. A lot of great Scorpions songs, including some that kick you in the butt. "No One Like You," "Rock You Like a Hurricane." From the 1980 album "Animal Magnetism," which was made before lead singer Klaus Meine had vocal chord surgery his voice was coarser and raspier, but still strong), songs "The Zoo," and the strangely dark title track "Animal Magnetism."
Always somewhere from them is a great rock ballad!!!
Yeah, I thought that too. That line about Gorky Park got me thinkin the "Iron Curtain" is history. So what now? We'll just hafta watch history ad it unfolds.
Girl, I like that occssional star. You foumd a simple solution to all these buttheads who just wanna give you trouble. Good for you! Keep up the good work. You go girl!
I've seen them in concert in the 80's! No one Like You is another great one from them!
Gorky Park ist in central Moscow if you have interest to find out das true meanings of this song.
I've visited there und it ist a very beautiful nature park, as well a fun amusement park.
Das name of this song "Wind of Change" ist quite relevant to das events of that era in history.
Auf Wiedersehen aus Wiesbaden :-)
The band scorpions were from Germany and this song was about the Berlin being torn down
I always loved the whistling in this great end of the cold war song. Thank you for the reaction, KSO! Stay well!!
This song is about the reunification of Germany, the Berlin wall came down allowing it to happen, the end of the Cold War, the Scorpions were the only band that could pull this off as they are German
A beautiful song. Please give The Zoo by the Scorpions a listen next. It's excellent.
They are great!!! The 80s , I miss it!!!! But I still listen to this music on my iPod 📱!!!!
Keep up the Wonderful and Real reactions ... One of my favourites God Bless you
try UNDER THE SAME SUN, WHEN THE SMOKE IS GOIN' DOWN and ALWAYS SOMEWHERE
Sincerely great reaction. Every time I hear this song it gives me hope.❤️😀👍❤️✌️🌼
Please react to Scorpions - No One Like You. Trust!
"Always somewhere" is a great ballad by the Scorpions
The Scorpions are from Germany. But they've connected with the rest of the world
NO ONE LIKE YOU
SCORPIONS 🦂
They're German!
The negative effects of ww2 resonated decades after the wat was over. It was great and heart warming to see that wall come down after 4 decades. The scorpians is a german band so did they ever tour with the russian band gorky park ???
When the Berlin wall fell and the Soviet Union fell things got better for people in Eastern Europe, it was a wind of change, people got freedom from communism, nows things are bad with this pandemic its feels are freedoms are limited, but I have hope things will get better when it's of over it will be a wind of change.
My Most Compassionate K.S.O.,
This song is beautiful melodically and lyrically. It is also among my top songs in my playlist. The lyrics was written by lead singer Klaus Meine. He is describing parts of Moscow when they performed at a peace concert. The Moskva is a river that runs through the city and Gorky Park is an area name after the Russian author Maxim Gorky. The video is a reminder of the incidents that occurred during the fall of communism in Europe. Though Mikhail Gorbachev was seen as a hero among the left and credited for ending communism in Europe, he still maintained his communist ways and attempted a coup against Russian President Boris Yeltsin. The true credit goes to President Ronald Reagan and his economic policies that the former U.S.S.R. couldn't keep up with. Gorbachev did start to ease up on the state control of the economy to boost support for the party, but it had the opposite affect. The citizens wanted more and became more adverse to communism. The biggest blow to communism was the "Arms Race." President Reagan showed that Capitalism could sustain a country better that made it easier to afford the weapons than communism. In the end, the Soviet Union went broke and through that, collapsed under it's own weighted debt.
Just a little history lesson for you and your Hunnies.:) I lean more to the Conservative side. I am also a Conservationist, not a Environmentalist. I support the U.S. Constitution and it's Bill of Rights. I am pro-life and support the sport of hunting, not poaching. I believe in law and order. I believe in justice and the guilty should pay for their crimes. The justice system is perfect, the people that are employed to mete out the justice are not and mistakes are made or it's corrupted by greed and racism of it's appointed members. I love going to the mountains in California and other states that I've been to. I also disdain pollution, but I don't support the so called Paris Agreement that mostly punished the U.S. and ignored the Chinese government's abuse of their environment. Those Chinese cities are among the most polluted cities in the world, while the U.S. has some of the cleanest cities in the world. There are exceptions to the rule. No country is perfect due to its people. Also, erupting volcanoes spew out more pollutants than all the cars in the world do in a year.
I know I'm long winded, but when I get inspired, I tend to speak my mind and I can go on and on.:) God Bless
I love this song, its probably the only track I know by The Scorpions
Rumored to have been written by cia, music company wanted to take out the 😙 whistling
the record company wanted the whistling out of the song, but they prevailed 😃
Thanks hun . Classic about the fall of the Berlin wall and the end of the Soviet union. Incredible time . Remember it well
Nice vid. I hardly look at the television now. I mostly see everything on the Internet.
From Germany
They are a german band
i wondered if you would do this song, thank you my friend! big love to all people :)
also, i hope you and all of your friends, family and extended people group are doing well! :)
In 1991 Scorpions received an invitation to the Kremlin from Mikhail Gorbachev.
I don't think I've heard this beautiful song in all these years. Has it really been 30 years already? Where did the time go?
The Scorpions are from Germany.
Featured in the movie Gentlemen Broncos. A clever comedy like Napoleon Dynamite.
Check out their songs The Zoo, No One Like You and Rock You Like a Hurricane. You’ll love them.
You would probably really like White Lion's song " When The Children Cry"
And the iron curtain fell.
Scorpions are from Germany.
I sang this for my music exsame
😎👍🎶
They are a German Band
