#reacts #scorpions #windsofchange
For me as a german it was allways the hymn of the fall of the berlin wall and the german reunification. A wonderfull song and still an important message.
I lived in Germany when the wall fell, I remember the whole street was out at night celebrating. The end of the cold war and now we are falling right back in. So sad.
Indeed!
For me it's the fall of the berlin wall and germanys next topmodel 2023😂
This is the song for the Unification of Germany and Europe. I was 7/8 years when when it happened. This song came out when I was 9 the whole 1990s in Europe was filled with hopes of being a whole continent of unification and love. The only thing we had to solve was the war in the Balkans and we would be a full unit. Then 9/11 2001 happened and we knew that "Wind Of Change" was no more. It's so sad and so much tears when you hear it now. Such a beautiful song.
One of the best concerts I’ve ever been to.
I’ve always loved Klaus’ voice. It has so much range and emotional.
I seen Scorpions 17 times so far and Klaus Meine has such an incredible voice! Hopefully I'll seethem again a couple more times!!! ❤
This is legit one of the best songs ever
I had the extreme privilege to be in Berlin when the wall came down. It was amazing to see it fall.
You said it Ken👍 when we were kids listening to music like this we never really paid much attention to the meaning of the songs. Now analyzing them i cant believe how deepand much information we missed just jam'n out. Our little brains weren't ready for it 😁
That was astronaut Sally Ride's voice at the end by the way. Klaus was one of the best whistlers in rock something that doesn't get
mentioned enough.
The song and the video are about the most significant year in the lives of almost everyone alive today, 1989.
Tienamen Square, the Berlin Wall, the Exxon Valdez, the Intefada... So much change in so little time.
Plus, here in the UK, we were enduring a dreadful sequence of disasters.
This song has always had a huge piece of my heart, even without singing in the music video you can tell that it’s a song of hope through adversity. That no matter what happens in this world there’s always a chance that things could get better, but they can’t get better if nobody stands up to try. This is the song that calls for action calls for change but it calls for us to keep our hope.
This song always makes me tear up, for a couple of reasons, Klaus's voice, the song lyrics, and the whistling, my mom would whistle a lot, and she loved this song❤ thx Ken 👍
I love Stalker (1979), and Andrei Tarkovsky is my favourite filmmaker.
Great song and great reaction video! In my 63 years I never heard the word Mondegreen and now that you have educated me I might just use it all the time!! 😄🎶
I grew up in that period and remember this song and the fall of Berlin wall very well. This song was the anthem of a time period.
As for the lock and key, the last image of the eye through the key lock is the cover image of a Scorpions album.
Scorpions - Wind of Change (Monster Of Rock 2023), Allianz Park - São Paulo Brasil
I love Klaus' voice so much. Scorpions have the most beautiful ballads.
Ok, so in the pre internet era we argued over song lyrics ALL THE TIME. Most of our music was listened to over the radio, with imperfect reception and low quality speakers. It makes me smile now to think about how that was just part of the experience.
I was so glad that you recognized "tank guy". When ever I see that guy stopping a line of tanks I get chills and goosebumps watching back at the time. Wish we knew who he was. Great reaction! Especially on voice characteristics.
Back then it really felt like the winds of change were blowing... Now the winds seem to mostly come from the right
I'm feeling you, laddie.
From the right?
@@PilloryClinton The far right
@@antivanti Yes. We definitely need some change. They’re called the “right” for a reason. 😂
Hello from Cody Wyoming! You're awesome by the way. The Scorpions were my second concert McNichols Arena 1986. What a night😊 keep it up. I appreciate your views and how you interpret music
What a product of its time, great song. Remember when the US actually felt like the bastion of freedom and Democracy in the world, that we needed to spread to other nations? That cultural sentiment is almost prehistoric.
where does the US come into this?
@@ksenss2513 There are United States troop visuals throughout the video in several clips. The Berlin Wall is historically seen as a focal point of the Cold War. A war primarily between US and Soviet powers. The Scorpions are a German Band who gained most of their celebrity in American market. I'm not 100% sure if you're being willfully obtuse with this question or you just legitimately want to know? Anyway, now you know.
@@alaeacusmcfly4353 Just wanted to know. There are visuals from all over the world so I wondered where this specific reference to the US came from.
@@ksenss2513 The Berlin Wall being taken down marks the end of the Cold War and the final days of the USSR.
@@chrisdorf2369 I know. I'm German. I was there.
So many memories of this great song❣
Apart from the whistle - this may be their best known ballad, let alone the strong massage linked to the end of the Cold War. But when it comes to singing alone, I'd strongly suggest "Still Loving You" from an earlier phase. Klause Meine at his heights!
Ich war sehr jung als die Mauer fiel und dieses Lied ist einfach Wiedervereinigung, Freiheit, Herz. Deutschland. Ich kann das Lied nicht hören ohne an den Mauerfall zu denken...die Erinnerung bleiben.. ich empfinde viel Demut und Respekt.
Yes, the wall divided Germany and the city of Berlin. But West-Berlin was an island located in East Germany completely surrounded by the wall.
I'm very happy to see that you review German bands (except Rammstein) on your channel.
He should do Helloween (German Power Metal) Live at Wacken in 2018 doing "How Many Tears" it's epic!
Rammstein LOL
The very first time I heard this was while watching a Filipino band in Singapore. I had been at sea so didn't get to hear it before that. LOVE Scorpions.
Favorite song from them.

Keefe had a friend/contact in the CIA who suggested its connection to the song so he did a deep dive and produced a podcast series called "Wind of Change." He uncovers a lot of dots and connects a few. Final episode he meets with Klaus. Definitely a good listen for a Gen Xer
One of my favorite songs growing up. I was lucky enough to see the Scorpions live several times. I don't remember how I found it, but I found a single of Winds of Change, but partially sung in Russian. Russian friends told me the pronunciation was terrible, but for me, it was good enough and it made it even better given the fall of the Soviet Union - it just *fit*. That was back in the days of cassettes and CDs and long before Napster and Spotify, so finding unusual tracks was like a personal gold mine. Now that my memory's been jogged, I'll have to find it and give it a listen. Highly suggest it for Scorpions fans that didn't know about that particular track.
/Edit: Link to the Russian version. Also, my memory failed me! It's completely in Russian!

It's Great song and used to present Hope and Joy atleast for me when I was young. But now it makes me sad. I used to think wind of change would have been all over The Earth, but now I know it only considered a very small piece of The Earth. And like President Niinisto Said "The mask has now come off and only the cold face of war is visible."
Man, this song is a blast from the past. Yes, it really is an important part of the zeitgeist of that time, I totally agree. I know people who sold everything they had, money, property, everything and risk their lives just to pay someone to get them across the wall. I can't even imagine what that does to you. This song always reminds me of them
I saw your Mike Patton video yesterday.
Mike really is one of the best vocalists of all time but sadly that video didn't include that much of it.
To see two different sides of Patton i would recommend that you see the video on youtube called "Mike Patton (Mondo Cane) Lontano Lontano @ Teatro Caupolicán 21/09/11 HD" and after that see the video called "Faith No More - Cuckoo For Caca (Optimus Alive, Lisbon, 07/08/10)"
Both amazing performances and gives you an idea of what he is capable of doing.
Love your work man.
I really love this song. Was the first concert my dad took me to.. what a show. That was.. I dunno, maybe 2002.
I hope at some point you decide to do some Bo Burnham, that guy has incredibly powerful songs too and you can really tell the development his voice did over the years :) Personally I recommend 'The chicken' or 'Welcome to the internet'. VERY different songs, one is sad the other is.. evil.
The lock and the key is some symbolism of their album cover ….the one this song was on. I think if you see the album cover, you’d “get it”…..my $.02
Never gonna give you up has even more views ;)
Wonderful memories of my teens!
Ken can you do a reaction to Siki Jo Ann singing the clique song from Africa’s got talent, she is awesome
evidently the whistle was a rough workshop of the melody as the song was written and made it into the final edit
The most famous Mondegreen is in Blinded By the Light by Manfred Mann!
A classic mondegreen for sure!
This one is not about vocals for me, I just wanted to learn to do that whistle. (born 1977)
And yes this song do mean something, I`m Danish and this is one of the songs I connect with taring down the Well in Berlin. Pink Floyd, Gorky Park...David Hasselhoff.. yep no shit.
And later Monsters of Rock in Moscow. AC/DC, Metallica, Pantera, Black Crows. with an live audience at 0.8 to 1.6 million people. They literally stooped counting at 8.0 no one know for sure. But estimate they stooped counting half way.
Live Moscow 1991. would be fun reactions.
Pantera Domination.
Matallica Enter Sandman.
Every German remembers the day when they opened the gates between east and west germany. I switched on the TV, because there was a rumour all around, I couldn't identify. I was already in my 30s at that time. At the Bundeswehr (the german army, they told us that we eventually must fight against the people on the "other side", but we all knowed the real enemy !
I was ready to protect my country, even with a bad feeling inside.
Looking TV I first thought I see a kind of science fiction movie or a fake documentary, but then I recognized the truth.
What a lucky day...
We call that song "The soundtrack of german unity"
Geoff released his new video on UA-cam today. Sound of Silence.
I’ve watched a few reactions to this track, and I think you actually reacted to it the best. That’s not exactly what I mean, but other people have analysed it as in. How is he singing ?What is he doing? Whatever. Your reaction seems unselfconscious and it’s all the better for it.
Steve millers jet airliner I always thought he was saying big ole jam at the lighthouse,
A singer apologizing for interrupting a guitar solo? God bless you 😄
Volbeat - Die to live plz
It's been awhile since you've reacted to Voiceplay. Could you please check out they're cover of Golden Hour? It's a real treat as always. Thank you sweetie
appreciate the Beijiing story
If you like the film "Stalker", I'd check out the novel "Roadside Picnic" that influenced it, and then the game "S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Shadow of Chernobyl," that was influenced by it.
Cult game, scary af hehehe
Wie kann man lachen bei diesem Lied?
Why would he sing TV? its "take me" but with the playing with the vowels that you talked about a few minutes ago..
Oh, you should listen to the new version dedicated to Ukraine.
Scorpions - Wind Of Change (Ukraine) - Live Silvester 2022 am Brandenburger Tor - Willkommen 2023
This song really has no genre in my eyes. It's a rock ballad technically, but no sweet child.. It's kind of like an anthem for everything and everyone. Just as neutral and easily processable as possible in the stylistic choice, but incredibly honest and sincere in its dialog. This instrumental wouldn't work without the lyrics I think. Or at least not as well as it panned out.
The Scorpions had their greatest commercial success with the title "Wind of Change", but after that they were never able to build on their hard heritage again...everything later was somehow softened. But there is also such a phenomenon with other bands. If you have too much money, you try less...
Yikes.
Tarkovsky is Russian Kubrick...veeery deeep and visionalist movies. watch something more from him.
End of the Cold War, when the Berlin Wall separated Germany. Families were separated by the Wall, and soldiers shot to kill anyone who tried to cross over from the Communist side. Imagine 50 years of separation.
Just something funny i noticed on almost every reaction when americans refer to the song they always say "windS of change". No critique just something interesting i noticed and i wonder if there is something common to american speakers that makes them add the 'S' for some logic reason.
Dividing people with a 27 mile wall. What a crazy concept. Good thing that would never happen here in the US. 🤔 (yes, sarcasm)
Putin has said that the dissolution of the USSR was the worst mistake Russia ever made.
Well, he's a dictator, so screw him
i heard there are oil lamps in china. timjke to lyberachie =time to lyberachie FOR FREEDOM
Wind*
thats an important piece of the german wiedervereinigung, yes. but i never liked that sort of radio-rock, tbh.
here is a little reminder for eivor ;)

Nothing to do with scorpions I didn't know you were Canadian until now LOL
wow that's a weird reaction
The framerate on your recent vids is bad
I smell some jelously in this react video ... strange
If your a voice guy you did poorly on this
DUDE THE SONG NAME ITS WIND OF CHANGE NOT WINDS OF CHAMGE
It’s one of the best selling singles of all time with more then 14 millions singles sold fiscally and a lot more digital and you don’t know the song name lol 😂
This song is in my eyes/ears terrible. especially the vocals that is so breathy, thin, nasal and weak.
Along with the cliche, and badly worded lyrics it's one of my my least favourite memory of that era.
You'll always have the Mikado.
I was stationed in Germany just after the wall came down and some of the guys in my unit were there in Berlin when it happened. They ended up bringing back a slab of it about 4' x 2'. It was stashed in a hut in our motorpool.
