The Berlin wall falling is such a great moment in history.
This was one of the most amazing things in my life. My bf was in the Army stationed in Germany when this happened. He said a week later thousands of refugees crested the hill they were on and passed through peacefully. He still tears up talking about it.
😆 remember David Hasselhoff, the Hoff
My family was there too & we were glad to have Germany back as one!
@@heidirippl2815 don't hassel the hoff ... he was looking for freedom!
Yes, and this song and video is my favorite scorpions tune. "Still loving you" is a close second. What a great band. Did you know that these guys couldn't even speak or understand English when they started.
I love how music brings people together.
When the Berlin Wall came down I was a child, and I will always associate this song with the end of the cold war and the reunification of my country.
So much emotion, just wow!
There is no mistaking Klaus’ voice, it’s one of a kind. Try Still loving you, No one like you, or Holiday. They have an extensive catalog of really good music. Love the Scorpions 🦂
Are you german?
@@kilianwessel4189 No, I’m American.
And Always Somewhere. How many people know they have been doing this since about 1965, and are still touring.....
The lyrical message of this song is just as relevant and applicable today as it was in 1990! Timeless 🤘🙏
Also, preach it Mel! 👍
Agree!
🤘🤘💗💗
It's because nothing changes. except the characters but the script is the same.
The Scorpions are a band from Germany and this song was written when the Berlin Wall came down. It was an amazing time for Germany.
It was written about the fall of Soviet Union, but only became really anthemic when the Berlin Wall came down, issuing in the German Reunification.
@@cristyrawks6325 I remember coming home from work and turning on the TV and seeing images of the Berlin Wall being torn down and the Eastern border guards did nothing to stop it. I heard this song on the radio about the same time. German rock music was not a commonly heard thing in 1989 but I know this song!
@@jmcquown By the time, they made the video, the images of the Berlin Wall coming down were on German TV of course. So Scorpions integrated that into the music video. But Klaus wrote the song back when they played the Moscow Peace Festival. Months before the fall of the wall.
"Still loving you" is a must Scorpions song to do.
I second that!
not to mention " just another piece of meat "
I still tear up every time I hear this song.
Also, Shawn and Mel are looking FINE.
They are looking fine and their chemistry is perfect. Loving them so much rn.
I was a kid when the wall came down and this song is forever in my heart the sound of our reunification. This bringts tears to my eyes even now. What a great moment in time!
I remember when the Berlin wall came down. What an amazing historical moment! That song still gives me chills to this day. World Peace. Why is that so hard??? Oh, and can we talk about the Def Leppard shirt!! Love it!!
They kick ass live. One of the best concerts I saw in the 80s.
Me too!
“Send Me an Angel” by the Scorpions is one of the most beautiful songs ever. Please react to that video. You won’t be sorry.
Still loving you by scorpions is another one you may like
One of the best moments of my gig-going life was with this band. I was at the famous Scorpions gig at the Brandenburg Gate in Berlin in 1999, celebrating the tenth anniversary of the fall of Berlin Wall. During this song many many denim and leather clad hairy-arsed heavy rock fans, many of whom were former East Germans, were openly crying and hugging one another "like brothers" - me included. At that moment we felt we could change the world and that we really are all just one people. God, I wish we could all that feel like that again today, the world really needs it.
You're so right! The hate needs to go away...we are all one race, the Human Race! We're all In this together...and we need to come together in love and stop classifying each other!
Fabulous reaction video...I love the Scorpions! You should also check out "Still Loving You"... talk about a tear jerker! Also check out...." Maybe I, Maybe You "...another great song of theirs!!
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 so powerful! We need this now!!!!!
#WindOfChange ✊🏻✊🏼✊🏽✊🏾✊🏿
So True!
Saw these guys in the late 80s. Had front row. One of my top 5 concerts of all time. Great live show.
Always getting goosebumps while listening to this. Greetings from Germany. That song has so many Emotions.
The Scorpions are still kicking ass, probably, well into their 70s.
The Scorpions were fantastic. This was probably their most meaningful song, but they have several other excellent songs. "Still Loving You" (the longer, album version at 6:27) and "No One Like You" are my favorites.
The greatest German music group of all time 😄
Still Loving You by them is one of my all time favorite songs EVER!💚💙💜 This song always gives me chills! The Berlin Wall coming down was amazing!
There's no denying that band. Its awesome and your reaction was absolutely one of the best. 5 Stars
EASILY one of the best voice in rock history.
31 years later, the winds of change are still blowing, but we've become worse!💔😢 WTF?!🤬 We need each other, please stop the hate!🙏❤✌
"And your girl Mel", I love that... 🤗
This song is one of my favorite all time song's.. Top 5.... I'm glad you listen to it... ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
This is the Anthem to the Fall of the Berlin Wall. Excellent song from an underrated band.
An amazing song that contributed to changing a generation and bringing down the Berlin Wall and the iron curtain.
Glad you appreciated this. It meant so much during the dissolution of the USSR and reunification of Germany. Gets me every time.
100%. Beautiful message & beautiful song. This was a song of hope & do we still ever need it today 😢. The whistle had sadness & hope at the same time. ❤❤❤
I’m so jealous of you guys hearing all these classics for the first time
This is a freaking beautiful rock ballad. I was pre adolescent when this came out.. Spent many hours practicing that whistle opening to to be in tune.
Still loving you, the Zoo, send me an angel are some more great songs from the scorpions
So much truth spoken at the end about not being separate. Thank you for those words.
Great reaction to a beautiful song more scorpions please I was lucky enough to see them twice have a blessed day guys
Scorpions need to be inducted into the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame. Great reaction!
For sure one of the best and most powerful songs of all time. Brings back memories. I grew up when a lot of these things were happening. Nice reaction video thank you and peace !
Scorpions played at a peace music festival in Moscow. The first heavy rock band permitted to perform in Russia. A few months after that the Berlin wall actually physically came down.
Scorpions , the ultimate rock love rock band ! Klaus Meine , at lead vocals , the ultimate love !
My favourite band of all times ! And after them ... Nightwish !!
They are the contrast of Iron Maiden !
For sure !!
Power love ballands na everything you wish to hear from them . ! !
They are incredindible!
Huge rabbit hole: Blackout, Still Loving You, Rock You Like A Hurricane, Big City Nights, When Passion Ruled The Game.
Yes , rock you like a hurricane is what I was gonna suggest. This song right is about the Berlin wall coming down. Unity baby. We need it all day every day
It's not just the music my friends, we all have to change our attitude. We are all a folk in this world and there is only this world. So we all have to take care of this world and damn it not to destroy it, especially not through wars.
It's a beautiful song and I love that the means still rings true today 👍
Absolutely love their reaction!
This video makes me cry every time! So much history. So much hope for a better future that hasn’t happened quite yet.
The whistle draws you in to the magic of the moment they were feeling, freedom in the air. They finished with the whistle.
Almost always brings a tear to my eyes... I hold em back though... but have always loved this song
The Scorpions are legends. The most unique voice and killer guitar work.
P.S. Mel -- you look so pretty!!!!
I catch myself whistling this tune quite often oddly enough. I’ve had Scorpions on vinyl, then cassette, then CD, now on my iPod. Scorpions were a light in the darkness that was the Iron Curtain.
You are so right, we need to take care of our world and everyone living on this our home. It’s something we have to do.
I forgot what a beautiful & powerful song this was! :-)
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.
I seen Scorpions 17 times so far and Klaus Meine has such an incredible voice! Hopefully I'll see them again a couple more times!!! ❤
Beautiful timeless ageless song by the guys from Germany. They knew firsthand the reality there after WWII. The winds of change was their vision of a better future for all of us !
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.
Regan could give a speech that reached out and grab you! Those acting roots came in handy..from Wyoming USA 🇺🇸 🤠
Love this song - but "the zoo" blows my mind. It's incredibly done
Like you guys said this type of music brings people together, I am a 63 yo guy and have always love people for who they are!
Danke für die schönsten Erinnerungen meiner Kindheit und Jugend
It so fun to watch you guys react to a song I hear, at least 4 times a week on the radio at work!!! For the last 30 years haha
❤️😭❤️😭❤️ oh my gosh. 🌎 🌍 ☮️
Scorpions “Send Me An Angel” is beautiful as well.
I was stationed in Germany when the Berlin Wall fell. Amazing times and a GREAT song.
There the day the wall came down. Awesome feeling
The Berlin Wall came down and The Cold War ended. I'll never forget how that felt because this song will ALWAYS remind me! 😊
Scorpions are a huge Rabbit hole of great songs
Opens up all the best feelings great reaction guys muchh love S&M squad xxxx
I have been luck to seen Scorpions in concert around 12 times in my life.. They’re one of the greatest groups of all time.
You really are going to enjoy this rabbit hole!
You should check out Rock you like a Hurricane next!
🔥🤘🔥🤘🔥🤘🔥🤘🔥🤘🔥🤘🔥🤘🔥🤘🔥🤘🔥🤘🔥🤘🔥🤘🔥🤘
"Send Me An Angel" Scorpions please
Remember The good tymes remember the bad tymes is another great song...
Such a powerful song. This is about Mankind coming together to be one in peace. As a 14 year old. Watching the Berlin Wall fall made me cry. Seeing all those people free.
This song says it all. the Wind of Change. To me listening to this song for all these years always gets me. Every time. And just think of the countries who are divided instead of United. Here in the states we kind of lucky. We're united, but not quite fully united. And as they say in the song. Brothers. I guess what I'm trying to say is, why can't we continue to live United. That's what America is all about. Many colors and many cultures living united. As this country is called UNITED States of America. We done it before, so lets do it again. living in unity, and help teach the other countries to do the same. Let's rock this world in a good way with alot of positivity.
I remember watching the wall coming down on tv. A big moment in world history
Same here My mother cryed , I was 8 Years old and cryed too. Because there were free and u didnt need a passport anymore to visting the other side of Germany
"Send Me an Angel" and "Still Loving You" are definite must react to songs!
Hi Shawn and Mel,amazing reaction,as usual,wow!!But now,no choice,you must react to Scorpions//Still loving you (lyrics) 6:27 version.The masterpiece of this band!!!
Scorpions: Big City Nights, Great White: House of Broken Love
2 of my favs
This single by the Scorpions in 1990 captured a moment of hope for the future from a real experience... The Scorpions had a long journey from being a local rock band in Hannover, West Germany in 1965 to a global success in the 80's... 'Wind of change' was inspired by the band playing concerts in Russia for the first time in 1988 - 1989 (the U.S.S.R. banned rock music and the Beatles in the Sixties) and this was just about 50 years after the German nazis invaded Russia and killed 27 million Russians in World War II...
For a German rock band like the Scorpions to win over Russian music fans after their grandparents' generation had raged war & committed atrocities against Russia was nothing short of a miracle... Klaus Meine (lead singer) had said the power of music brought people together... and after he wrote the song, East & West Germany reunited as 1 country in 1990 after being separated for over 40 years.
The lead singer name is Mr. Klaus Maine he is one of the best voice of the rock music industry. His voice can touch any soul because he puts his emotions and feeling in each of the songs he sings. All of their songs are awesome, but i recommend fallow your heart, believe in love, the rhythm of love, always somewhere, humanity, eye of the storm, the good die young ft with Tarja , we built this house, and the most recent one is "sign of Hope". Scorpions for ever one of my favorite rock bands.
"Let your balalaika sing, what my guitar wants to saaaaay!"
Just remember when you're rocking those party tunes close to the end of the night close to be in the party play scorpions they'll bring the vibe down everybody will relax it'll be time to go home scorpions is one of the greatest bands out there but they'll put you to sleep because they're so beautiful the tone is so mellow with the singing as you heard all their songs are like that even though more high points I love them but it's just something about him just mellows you out
You are absolutely right we are not separate. We need to treat each other alot better than we do. Don't be sad because your channel does bring people together!
Late to this party but found you looking for reactions to this specific song. It means so much to a lot of people. I remember the feeling of that moment it came out. like your reaction, so subbed!
“We’re not separate”
That part
I was an Air Force kid with an American AF mother and a German AF father. I was born in Hanover, West German, the home town of The Scorpions. This song is originally about the time when the Soviet Union fell and the Berlin Wall came down, uniting the communist held East Germany with their western brothers and sisters. But, this song is TIMELESS and can be applied to modern times.
Saw them on this tour in 91 in Los Angeles. Epic.
I was too young when this music came out. I just remember news about wars in different countries during that time. I never even understood the words back then. I just paid attention to the lyrics when I became an adult, fell in love with it rightaway. It's not just about Russia but all about reconciliation among human beings.
You were so right. They don't make songs like that any more. I'm a "boomer" and still waiting for that change. Beautiful song with a great meaning.
iam from germany. ´89-´90 was the best time in my life. i was the first time in freedom
I remember watching when that wall came down and those people finally knew freedom…. Such a wonderful day
Scorpions "Holiday". Is another great rock ballad. 🎸❤️🎸❤️ Thanks for doing the Scorpions! They've been around forever
Best band from Germany ever!
LOVE!!!!!!!!!! That song!!!!
i was a kid in west germany back in the 80s. half my family lived in east germany and i remember like yesterday how it felt to visit them. hours of waiting at the border, vigurous car inspections by the border military, driving to the local police presidium to register followed by at least another hour of waiting for documents (for a simple matter that usually would take 5 minutes) and then finally drive to my families place. the east germans weren't allowed to travel to germany with their kids, to reduce the risk of them fleeing to the west. so we mostly traveled to them. it was such a great moment when the berlin wall fell and all the borders opened. random people meeting in that moment just behind the border in west germany and people celebrating together.
I’m happy to see all these reaction channels listening to rock and alternative music. I grew up on all this but also listened to rap, country and classical music because it’s music and expression. I couldn’t do a reaction video because I’ve listened to all music my whole life. There still much to be heard my friends, keep up the good work.
Amen sister Mel, we are not separate, we are all here together...
you'll love by SCORPIONS
NO ONE LIKE YOU
STILL LOVING YOU
I have a CD of the Scorpions and this song includes an orchestra it takes it to another level
I am living in Germany and never forget this moment when the wall came down.
Me too 😓👍❤️
Shawn you are so right they don't make songs like this anymore!!! Yes it was so wonderful and amazing that the Berlin wall came down, If that can happen anything is possible. We have so much more to do!
Good history behind this song. It was written the night the Scorpions played the Moscow Music festival. It was the first western music festival in the former soviet block after the fall of the Berlin wall.
The band had finished the concert and were doing the tourist thing. They got on a boat that sailed the Moskva river through Moscow. Being a band of Germans, the wall was an ever present embodiment of division and distrust, that had been nullified. Klaus Meinethe singer and song writer said, that night, he felt such hope for the future. We had avoided mutually assured annihilation. There was good reason to whistle a tune of hope.
The walls that separate us now are not physical. That makes it harder to get purchase. Tomorrow is counting on us to fix this every bit as much as we needed those that came before to fix their
You guys are so lovely. I wanna hug you 😂 greetings from Germany ❤️
Always such great positive energy!!!!
This is so much more than just a great song. It means so much!! I was a ín my latter teens when all this happened and as a European this... it just moves me!
Love you both! I could be having the worse day and I turn to your channel and my day becomes great again! Love your picks in music to react to, and your warm welcome is always appreciated!! So glad I became a member of the S&M Squad!!!
I’m so grateful people like you two have found all this life altering, conscience inducing new music. It truly changes your whole perspective on life, and contrary to the beliefs of many, metal, rockers and the genres of musicians of this music are all really super, highly spiritual people!
I was a kid in the Berlin wall era, but I do remember it. This is a passionate song about real seperation
