You were right. That was the Berlin wall. The song is about hope and for me as a German I can never hear the song without thinking about the end of the wall. This song was constantly played during that time. The people fighting for their freedom and finaly the end of east and west germany.
I’m an American and was maybe 12 at the time and this song makes me think of that as well. I’m sure the Cold War was not as ominous for us as it would’ve been for you but we did grow up with air raid drills at school and constantly being taught about the “evil” specter that was USSR. So this time period between 1989-1991 was so… I don’t know if “mind blowing” is the right way to describe it, but the paradigm shift was intense for me as a preteen. This song makes me almost feel what that was like back then. I think the predominant feeling, at least among my age group, was hope for the future.
I think this song came first. But it was referring to the first steps at thawing the Cold War. When Gorbechov was teaching us Russian words like Glasnost and Pereztroika.
Growing up in the outer years of the cold war and seeing the Berlin wall come down on live late night TV was a feeling 8f hope like never before. This song captures and records that feeling.
My fave Scorpions song! About the fall of the Berlin Wall, & the eventual collapse of the Soviet Union. Still get tears in my eyes, seeing that Wall come down. Thanks for your reaction.
Thank you for this reaction to my favourite band. This is a song about the end of the Cold War. Scorpions are just a treasure trove of incredible music. And quite often their not-so-well-known songs are the most beautiful ones. Listen to In Trance and We'll burn the Sky, the older live versions. Those just blow your mind. Would love to see your reaction to those :)
This is one of the most iconic songs about the fall of the Berlin Wall! I lived through this and it was truly an amazing emotional moment in time! It was a moment when what we stood for made a difference and Germany became unified as one nation under democracy based on human freedom and liberty! Always touches me in the heart every time I hear this song! Thanks for reacting to it!
Never has a song captured a moment in time, the way this one did. A brief moment when we, Humanity as a species, lifted up our heads, and for the first time in decades, dared to imagine anything might lie in our futures, besides nuclear annihilation.
Man you are on point, 💯% enjoyed watching your facial expressions and your interpretation. I was 18 in 1989 when The Berlin Wall came down and USSR change happened- didn’t know then that decades later this could be a world anthem for hope 👍
The night people on both sides of the wall started knocking holes in it and lots of East Germans went through for a look and meet the west (and some went the other way as well). It was the unofficial end of the division of Germany and the continuing end of the Soviet Union.
Spectacularly beautiful song!!! Thank you for the awesome reaction!! My favorite Scorpions song will always be "Still Loving You"....even more beautiful!!🎵🎼🎶🎤🎹🥁🎸🤘🔥🔥
We had such great music in the 70s and 80s. They have great music 🎶 I hope you keep reacting to them. Try the songs Black Out, Rock You Like a Hurricane, and Still Loving You, and more much more. Thank you for the memories ❤❤❤❤❤
More scorpions ballads, always somewhere, send me an Angel, when the smoke is going down. Rockers, no one like you, the zoo, rock you like a hurricane, loving you Sunday morning, holiday, coast to coast....they have so many ..🙂
Yes, the 90s seem like such an innocent, hopeful time now. Of course, that wall needed to come down, and I, being from Europe, shed a few emotional tears when it happened, but so many bad things have taken place since then, that this song seems now sadly naive. Still gives me goosebumps, though.
Same - listening to this song makes me sad now. Back then, we had so much hope that the world would take a turn to the better. Sigh. Humanity just never learns.
Love this band. You need some more Scorpions in your life my friend. Lets bring the tempo up just a bit with 'Is There Anybody There?' or faster yet with 'Bad Boys Running Wild' or 'Rock You Like a Hurricane'. For another slow banger try 'Always Somewhere' or 'Send Me An Angel'. All great. Cheers.
I love the Scorpions and especially this song! I wish the world would be forced to listen to this song over loud speaker and put down the weapons and work things out. We are brothers and sisters. Merry Christmas Shon. Thanks for another great reaction video!!! Peace and love only.
The word "Moskva" is the Russian transliteration of the word "Moscow" . There is also a river in Russia with the same name and is why the songs says to follow the Moskva (river) down to Gorky Park. Gorky Park is a literal park in Russia and kind of like our NYC, Central Park and is where the cold war spies of Russia and the US often met. Its about the tearing down of the Berlin Wall and the end of the cold war. But what most people do not realize is that these ongoing wars in the earth are a direct result of the war between God and Satan and mankind is stuck somewhere in the middle and is why Christ came. That's not preaching, its just the truth. There truly is coming a "Wind of Change - on a glory night", but it won't come until he does again. Love you all.
That was The Wall, yes. The beginning of the video shows you when it was erected and the end is when it fell. The end of the cold war where the world had hope. Now, we have fallen right back into it, so sad.
Hello, We must take better care for the world for our children peace is one of the impotest things thank you for react to this one oh and yes that was the wall in berlin at the end. Greetings from the netherlands
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. They killed it (including the whistle) LOVE the Scorpions. I rock with them, but this my favorite song by hem. 10/03/2017 Grand Sierra Resort Reno 😎😎
My first concert was the Scorpions in Los Angeles 1984. Unfortunately this song wasn’t written yet, but they already had a solid set list of songs. I walked in school with wearing my Scorpions concert shirt the next day, and suddenly I was a popular kid in school.
Listen to "When The Smoke Is Going Down" , "You Give Me All I Need" , "Tease Me Please Me" , "Send Me An Angel" just to name a few...Scorpions are a deep rabbit hole of songs. I just saw them again last summer for about the fourth time. They are great live and sound just like their albums.
Yes Berlin. I was there when the Berlin Wall came down as a US soldier, it was an incredible and scary time. The Cold War was finally ending!!!!! (sadly a yr latter, I was in Iraq)
May not be one you react to, but you should check out the version of this song they did with the Berlin Philharmonic .... it's my favorite version of this song.
I had Scorpions tickets back in the 80's but the singer came down with laryngitis and cancelled the show. Later, the band broke up. I was so upset. It's nice to hear these old classics again!
Hey Shon, since you've gotten so many other great suggestions for more songs by the Scorpions, I thought I'd suggest a song by a group that I believe you've reacted to once or twice before and you seem to enjoy their tunes. "Carpenters - Rainy Days And Mondays"

I'm German too... never thought I'd ever see the wall come down.
I’m an American and was maybe 12 at the time and this song makes me think of that as well.

I was lucky enough to be stationed in Erlangen, Germany when the wall came down.
Beautiful place with lots of great people.
the "wind of change" they are referring to is the fall of the soviet union and the reunification of germany (scorpions are a german band)
I think this song came first.
But it was referring to the first steps at thawing the Cold War. When Gorbechov was teaching us Russian words like Glasnost and Pereztroika.
You are so thoughtful, intelligent and likable. Great reactions. God bless you.
DUDE IVE BEEN WATCHING FOR AWHILE ,YOURE INTERPRETATION OF THESE SONGS HAS BEEN SPOT ON FROM WHAT I CAN SEE,
Growing up in the outer years of the cold war and seeing the Berlin wall come down on live late night TV was a feeling 8f hope like never before. This song captures and records that feeling.
this was an amazing time...the Berlin Wall being torn down and Germany being reunited. A HUGE deal...
you nailed it, my man...
“The children of tomorrow can dream away” is such a great lyric
They mention Gorky Park several times. It's a large park in Moscow; equivalent to NYC's Central Park.
Scorpions - Rock you like a hurricane 🔥
My fave Scorpions song! About the fall of the Berlin Wall, & the eventual collapse of the Soviet Union. Still get tears in my eyes, seeing that Wall come down. Thanks for your reaction.
It’s as relevant today as it was back then. Beautiful song and reaction.
Time to get to their rocking side. Big hits include "Rock you like a Hurricane", "Big City Nights" n "No one like you".
You absolutely grabbed the meaning of this song and NAILED IT!!!! You go Shon.
Not a huge Scorpions fan, but this song is powerful and amazing.
Same.
Scorpions are from Germany ! Klaus Meine (the lead singer) is one of the best, has a great voice !😉💯💫✌👍🎶🎸
Thank you for this reaction to my favourite band. This is a song about the end of the Cold War. Scorpions are just a treasure trove of incredible music. And quite often their not-so-well-known songs are the most beautiful ones. Listen to In Trance and We'll burn the Sky, the older live versions. Those just blow your mind.

Love this song wnd this band. We will never have music or bands this amazing ever again in history. 😢
My dad could whistle really well. That's one of the things I miss about him most.
Never has a song captured a moment in time, the way this one did.
A brief moment when we, Humanity as a species, lifted up our heads, and for the first time in decades, dared to imagine anything might lie in our futures, besides nuclear annihilation.
Dude I love your reactions ..you are so grounded and that makes for great reactions..👍
Man you are on point, 💯% enjoyed watching your facial expressions and your interpretation. I was 18 in 1989 when The Berlin Wall came down and USSR change happened- didn’t know then that decades later this could be a world anthem for hope 👍

Spectacularly beautiful song!!! Thank you for the awesome reaction!! My favorite Scorpions song will always be "Still Loving You"....even more beautiful!!🎵🎼🎶🎤🎹🥁🎸🤘🔥🔥
Glad you heard this & took note, this song will stand the test of time but will the politicians listen ...........love your reaction's
Great reaction, I agree with you on everything you said about this song!👍👍🤘🤘
This song gave the world hope. Hope that we could change the world. Some people want to crush that hope
We had such great music in the 70s and 80s. They have great music 🎶 I hope you keep reacting to them. Try the songs Black Out, Rock You Like a Hurricane, and Still Loving You, and more much more. Thank you for the memories ❤❤❤❤❤
I was lucky enough to be an 80s teen - 15 in 1980. Amazing music and things were much simpler then.
More scorpions ballads, always somewhere, send me an Angel, when the smoke is going down. Rockers, no one like you, the zoo, rock you like a hurricane, loving you Sunday morning, holiday, coast to coast....they have so many ..🙂
Such a beautiful song and I find your explanations through very enjoyable interesting 🧚♀️ interesting
A hope song ........... so sad today
Yes, the 90s seem like such an innocent, hopeful time now.
Of course, that wall needed to come down, and I, being from Europe, shed a few emotional tears when it happened, but so many bad things have taken place since then, that this song seems now sadly naive.

Same - listening to this song makes me sad now. Back then, we had so much hope that the world would take a turn to the better. Sigh. Humanity just never learns.
Berlin Wall and Iron Curtain came down, then we moved into the Gulf War. The 90s sadly didn’t remain positive
Love this band. You need some more Scorpions in your life my friend. Lets bring the tempo up just a bit with 'Is There Anybody There?' or faster yet with 'Bad Boys Running Wild' or 'Rock You Like a Hurricane'. For another slow banger try 'Always Somewhere' or 'Send Me An Angel'. All great. Cheers.
This song is so meaningful
I love the Scorpions and especially this song! I wish the world would be forced to listen to this song over loud speaker and put down the weapons and work things out. We are brothers and sisters. Merry Christmas Shon. Thanks for another great reaction video!!! Peace and love only.
We all need a wind of change❤
They also sing it in Spanish and Russian both also very beautiful
Spreading love and positivity 😊

Song has some great meaning
Crowd house from New Zealand!!
Excellent song !!
this song video was in 1990... it is perfect for today... yes that was the berlin wall...
Love your channel keep doing what your doing
I was stationed in Germany at that time. I'll never forget that day.
That was The Wall, yes. The beginning of the video shows you when it was erected and the end is when it fell. The end of the cold war where the world had hope. Now, we have fallen right back into it, so sad.
Nice reaction video of the greatest song ever made by a german group! Greetings from Germany🖖
Such a powerful song 😢

My mother-in-law is German and my hubby was at that concert!
Scorpions are from my town, Hannover.

One of my favorite Scorpions songs! Love the whistling!
I dig your reaction
This song gave me the same feeling I had after civil rights legislation. Freedom
Thank you
Magical times, shame it didn't last.
Will this kind of music ever come back? Cause we need it now, we need something new like this.
Rammstein and Scorpions + Kraftwerk 🇩🇪
My first concert was the Scorpions in Los Angeles 1984. Unfortunately this song wasn’t written yet, but they already had a solid set list of songs. I walked in school with wearing my Scorpions concert shirt the next day, and suddenly I was a popular kid in school.
Love this song. Don’t forget the lead singer Klaus is singing in a foreign language! He’s German.
that’s crazy good! rock on!!! 🤘🤘🤘
White Lion...when children cry.
Very similar feel.
Rock you like a hurricane
Listen to "When The Smoke Is Going Down" , "You Give Me All I Need" , "Tease Me Please Me" , "Send Me An Angel" just to name a few...Scorpions are a deep rabbit hole of songs. I just saw them again last summer for about the fourth time. They are great live and sound just like their albums.
I love this song. You need to check out their other songs.
Yes Berlin. I was there when the Berlin Wall came down as a US soldier, it was an incredible and scary time. The Cold War was finally ending!!!!! (sadly a yr latter, I was in Iraq)
Super 👍 ❤
Greetings from Germany 🇩🇪
May not be one you react to, but you should check out the version of this song they did with the Berlin Philharmonic .... it's my favorite version of this song.
This was the first concert in freed Russia in the 90s
Another positive song is (when the children cry) by White Lion .
No doubt, a great song by a very good band.
Thinking of Ukraine.
You need to check out Life is to Short ..great scorpions song.
If you check out a live version, you can see a lot of people crying in the audience! A german song about hope and re-unity! ♥
The guitar in this always gives me Pink Floyd vibes (at the beginning of the song).
that wall came down bro.
❤❤❤
I had Scorpions tickets back in the 80's but the singer came down with laryngitis and cancelled the show. Later, the band broke up. I was so upset. It's nice to hear these old classics again!
❤
Hey Shon, since you've gotten so many other great suggestions for more songs by the Scorpions, I thought I'd suggest a song by a group that I believe you've reacted to once or twice before and you seem to enjoy their tunes. "Carpenters - Rainy Days And Mondays"
Shon, your generation is the “children of tomorrow” he was talking about :)
