    Not sure how you missed the biggest export out of Germany in the past 100 yrs. They formed in the 60s and the biggest band to ever come out of Germany. You have to remember they grew up in the early days of a divided Berlin. The had minor hits in the late 70s. There biggest hit Rock You like a Hurricane propelled them to international stardom

      I'll never forget that day the people tore down that awful wall and the two sides were reunited. Even the East German guards were caught up in the intensity and joy of that moment. My mom and I were sobbing. ❤ And the Scorpions? Love them!

      I agree with you that this is the best group from Germany, at least in my 70+ yrs. But to call them the greatest German export in a hundred years may be gilding the lily just a bit! 😅 Audi, Mercedes, Porche, Adidas, Puma, BMW, VW, Siemens, Hugo Boss.....?

      @@MearasRex in 2009 I took my Audi to the dealership as was and traded in on a Toyota. Interesting fact about Hugo Boss. They designed and supplied the WW2 German uniforms. Can't fault them. Say no and die. Say no and hundreds of employees are jobless in a rotten economy. The average citizen was as appalled as we were with what was going on and doing the best they could. No sense penalizing and destroying them.

    Scorpions are a German band. The Berlin Wall was a huge part of history for anyone that lived through the rise and fall of that wall. My parents were born in Germany. I remember, as a kid, sitting with my parents, watching the Berlin Wall coming down on live TV. This immensely impacted my political and worldviews. The song itself covers the Berlin Wall and other events that you mentioned like Tiananmen square. Events like these are the Winds of Change for humanity.

      Not a mediocre song among them. I heard this song before ever seeing a video and didn't really try to find the message. I'm a music person more than into the lyrics. Although many times the words do "speak" to me. But first I have to like the music. It has to be "pretty". I'm hard rock,heavy metal all the way, but "pretty". Take a listen to Ronnie James Dio.

    He wrote this song inspired by being in Moscow performing one of or the first rock concert in Russia before the Berlín wall fell, feeling the two sides comming together. They are a german band. Follow the mosqua (river in Moscow) down to gorky park, was him going for a walk and being inspired by "the wind of change" as he felt that humanity was comming together and the cold war was ending.

Watching Reagan, Pope John Paul 2, and Gorbachev working together to take down USSR. Reagan, speech at the wall “ Gorbachov, tear down this wall!” Making nuclear bomb shelters in the late 80s! Now, this generation shouts for socialism and communism. So many died, sacrificed, people used and separated from family in Germany. USSR brutal to it’s own people. Poland was under brutal communism. For them to not know what it took to bring about the collapse is USSR! People were crying for freedom! The relief after this so palpable throughout the world!

    As a Cold War veteran like your father, this song brings up so many feelings to me. I wasn’t stationed in Germany but did spend 30 days there for a Reforger in the 80’s. I don’t really care what the actual meaning of this song is supposed to be, for me it’s about all the change that we all were looking forward to which really got into full motion the the Berlin Wall came down. Things were supposed to be so much better and they were for awhile but we have screwed things up again. I feel pride for my very small part in helping this change start, but a lot of sadness to see where we are today. I hope this song touches you and others so that maybe we can get back on track again.

    Klaus Meine wrote the song in 1989 while visiting the USSR for the Moscow Music Peace Festival. It captures the feeling everyone had, at the time. Hopefull for a better future, but also melancholic. It was released in 1990 on the album Crazy World.
    There was a russian language version, too.
    One has to remember that while the USSR dissolved in 1991, after the failed soviet coup d'état, it was not a done deal. In 1993 a short war between the president and the house of soviets errupted, which lead to combat in the capital, with at least 147 dead.
    Scorpions sold over 100 million records. They are the biggest local german band, ever.

    Klaus Meine, one of the top 5 best voices in rock history, IMO. Dude can sing! And he can still sing to this day. The group was formed in 1965 by guitarist Rudolph Schenker, however, they're music didn't really take off until the 1980's, with hit after hit on all 7 of their albums. And yes, bro, if you want to take a trip into musical fantasy, you need to check out "Send Me An Angel" along with all their other hits. If you do, just make sure it's a live version. They are better live than the studio tracks.

Dieses Lied erinnert an die Zeit, an den kalten Krieg, an den Frieden. Gerade in der jetzigen Zeit ist dieses Lied so bedeutsam um zu zeigen, wie weit wir waren und wie jahrzehntelange Konflikte friedlich beendet werden können. Ich spiele dieses Lied meinem Sohn vor, erkläre ihm was vor 35 jahren passiert ist und auch er versteht und spürt mit seinen 12 Jahren diese tiefe Bedeutung des Liedes...Die Scorpions haben die Hymne des Friedens und der Menschlichkeit überhaupt gebracht.

    Personally, it's close to being a sad rock ballad for me but the drums are enough to give the song energy which also makes me feel like it's a song of hope. A very unique mix of sadness and hope in my opinion.

    Wind of Change is not just a song. It is a solid pillar of hope and love for humanity... and it applies to all eras, not just the 90's.

    I'm offended that the subtitles say, "Nostalgic whistling." LOL
    The Scorpions first formed in 1965.
    My platoon sergeant kept a piece of the Berlin wall on his desk. He was in an infantry unit in Germany when the wall was torn down.
    Music had a huge impact on the fall of the Soviet Union.
    Moskva is a river in Moscow. Meine wrote this song after the band performed at the Moscow Music Peace Festival in 1989.

  • @Arkryal

    The song was written before the wall fell, the video came after (but it was all right around that time).
    It was inspired by their first show in the Soviet Union, and the overwhelming response from fans there. It was in the time leading up to the collapse of the USSR, tensions were running high, but restrictions were getting more lax, so there was ominous, yet optimistic feeling all around. The song captured that feeling perfectly. Everyone at the time really resonated with this song, and the haunting whistle is a pretty good opening hook. It's hard to wrap your head around just how popular this song was at the time. My local radio station must've played it 10 times a day, which was unheard of before station consolidation... now all they do is play the same 20 songs on endless repeat, lol. But back then, that kind of repetition was nuts.

    As a German being born in 1971 I will ever forget the time when I heard, that the wall came down. Probably one of the most emotional moments ever.
    The song wasn't written for that historic moment but became the unofficial hymn for the fall of the iron curtain.
    And as I am living in Hannover for nearly 35 years, I of course feel especially connected to this Hannover band.

    "Wind of Change" was our unofficial hymn at that time. It came out just at the right time. I remember the day when they announced that the Berlin wall fell. I lived in Bavaria, far away from Berlin, but we had relatives that lived in East Germany. We couldn't believe it. It happened so suddenly and fast.

    Regarding being lied to - try listening to the people from the region (I’m polish). The fall of the Berlin WAS a good thing. I was a small kid back then but the feeling of excitement was palpable during those years. The world was opening up, and it was awesome. We really did feel like children of tomorrow.

    @Twilyhtmist 7 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    Oh, YES - that whistle always evokes strong nostalgic feelings in me as well... like, it somehow encompasses a whole zeitgeist all on its own, that everyone was feeling at that time. So its a classic for that alone, which is - as you say - kinda shocking how fast it just 'gets you', ya know?

    I grew up in the 80's in the USSR. Scorpions was one of the most popular bands in the USSR and this song was one of the most popular songs. Everyone in the Soviet Union knew this song. It was such a huge hit. This song is about the fall of the Communist block (many countries, Eastern Europe in general). The song is from 1990. Their other most popular hit was "Still Loving You".

    These guys were German. The singer's name is Klaus Meine. I saw them when they toured to support this album. I was a freshman in high school. Our school song was Rock You Like a Hurricane" which was also by the Scorpions. This song is so powerful. It's songs like this, Beds are Burning (by Midnight Oil), and Right Here Right Now (Jesus Jones) that turned me on to the fact that history was being made around me. The fall of the USSR and the hope of ending the fear of nuclear war was powerful. It was why I studied political science. Sadly, it is my professional opinion that we have squandered the moment and history may well remember this as a brief window of optimism rather than an actual paradigm shift.
    The guitar player Rudolf Schenker started the band. He's an amazing guitar player.

    Wikipedia-Wind of Change" is a song by West German rock band Scorpions, recorded for their eleventh studio album Crazy World (1990). A power ballad, it was composed and written by the band's lead singer Klaus Meine and produced by Keith Olsen and the band. The lyrics were composed by Meine following the band's visit to the Soviet Union at the height of perestroika, when the enmity between the communist and capitalist blocs subsided concurrently with the promulgation of large-scale socioeconomic reforms in the Soviet Union.

    Likely considering that rammstein wasn't formed until 1994 which is 3 years after this song came out. But fun fact if i remember correctly rammstein formed in Berlin. Definitely came after the scorpions who formed in 1965. This is my favorite scorpions song. Also scorpions have so many banger songs too definitely a great rabbit hole to go down.

  • @WhatDayIsItTrumpDay
    @WhatDayIsItTrumpDay 6 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    Yes, this song/album came out in like 1990/91...somewhere along in there, and yes, this song is about the massive changes going on in the world in the late 80s/early 90s with the collapse of the Soviet Union and the Eastern Block/Warsaw Pact. As you probably remember, the aftermath of all that was pretty dynamic and crazy. We Americans were really spared a lot of turmoil that both Europe and the former Soviet Republics had to endure for the better part of the 90s. And we're still seeing the aftermath of all that with this current Ukraine War.
    But when this song came out, by the German band, The Scorpions, it hit like a ton of bricks and it spoke to a lot of people at that time. The world thought that we could finally be at peace after the Soviet Union and their brand of Communism fell, but alas, these bloody Commies are still fighting for their Unicorn-inspired Utopia.
    Oh, you asked what the Moskva was? Well, it translates to Moscow, however it was the name of flagship of the Russian Black Sea Fleet. It was a guided missile battle cruiser, and the Ukrainians sunk it back in April 2022. Largest warship lost in combat since WWII.

    A whistle means a person is happy, care-free just plain enjoying life or that moment in time. Yet behind the whistle you have unspeakable human tragedies playing out, thus the whistle becomes haunting and plays on your emotions in a different way. Put shortly it's a mindf**k, what you should be seeing you're not and alters your perception of a whistle. Great reaction BP
