Back then, this song gave hope for a more peaceful world. Unfortunately it didn´t last long. But that doesn´t take away from an endearing reaction to a great song.
You really nailed the meaning on the head here. The band wrote this song after playing a music festival in Moscow, and being warmly received being a Western German band. The release of the song happened to drop right around when the Berlin Wall fell, and it became correlated with that event. It's a song about peace, hope, and reconciliation. It's a song we could all use right now. Thank you so much for listening to this one.
Call me skeptical, but I don't believe she got the meaning of this video that quick on a first watch, especially considering her self admitted lack of world's history knowledge. I believe she either watched this video before or read up on it prior to doing this reaction.
A few years before like 85. The wall fell in 89. I was an American soldier guarding the southern boarder. I loved this song and a lot of my fellow soldiers loved it too. That video was edited years later
The Scorpions are such an iconic band and have so many amazing songs to explore. When this came out it must have been on the radio about 10 times a day, every day. The same with MTV, when they played music, you couldn't switch over to it without seeing this or a Whitesnake video every damn time, Lol.
Growing up during the second half of the cold war and having the opportunity to watch live on television the reunification of East and West Germany...the collapse of the Berlin wall...the sigh of relief in hopes that the next generation will learn from our history...😢
You nailed it. This was dubbed the unofficial song of the end of the Cold War. It's a German band so they were the perfect ambassadors to the song and it's meaning.
80's rock was a let loose of the horrible wars still happening. Let us all just try to love.... one day... i am loving your influence and experiences. (From a musician in Hot Springs, Arkansas USA).
The Moscow Music Peace Festival had Cinderella, Motley Crue, Ozzy Osbourne, Skid Row, Scorpions and Bon Jovi with special guest Jason Bonham for the finale. It was the first time Western music was allowed in the Soviet Union
A very important song for a very important time full of monumental political shifts in the world. This should have been a wakeup call for humanity but unfortunately some of humanity's leaders never learn the painful lessons of the past and here the world is once again at a crossroads with war and the threat of war looming in so many places. The area that you live in Rana exemplifies this. Politics and Religion should teach us all to love one another. They should practice what they preach. It is a nice sentiment to say and to believe that we can all get along. I pray that this can come true one day.
@@GiddyKitty Your welcome beautifull where live always like brothers in a paintfull times like this because always exist the hope and love for the country and the People and all nations end live forever like brothers and stay always together no matter your religion or your skin color😘🤩❤️🫶🏻✊🏻✊🏻✊🏻🙏🏻
To be honest, you got the theme, clue, whatever 99.98 percent faster as any native english speaker I watched before. And please take this as a compliment from an Austrian neighbour of scorpions.
The Berlin Wall was constructed in 1961 hence the reference in the beginning of the song. Some of the best ballads in history have been written by hard rock bands. People ask me what I mean by that and this is one of the first songs I point them to. If you were alive at the time it is impossible not to get emotional when hearing this. It captured the feeling of the entire world. This is a song of peace ... the end of the cold war ... the fall of the Berlin Wall.
The Scorpions are Awesome, this song was an unofficial anthem for Eastern Europe when the Berlin Wall fell and the Soviet Empire collapsed. We all felt optimistic about man's future, then the 21st century happened. Do try their song and album called Lovedrive and see what the highest level of hard rock sounds like. Michael Schenker of UFO/MSG fame is on scorching lead guitar. That album is dope with all killer and no filler. Their is a reason some of their songs have 100s of millions of views, they are that good. Enjoy! 🎵🎸🎤🎸🎶
Such a shame that the US caused such chaos in Germany and much of Eastern Europe and the former Soviet Union, instead of helping Europeans, after the fall of the Berlin Wall. Good to see your reaction to the video and the hope felt by so many in Europe at the time.
If possible, kindly do one of Mick Gordon's soundtrack titled The Partisan Feat. Tex Perkins. That song takes you on an emotional journey.If possible, kindly do another one of Mick Gordon's soundtrack titled The Partisan Feat. Tex Perkins. That song takes you on an emotional journey.

Check out the video of Metallica's live '91 performance of "Enter Sandman" in front of one of the largest ( & certainly, most enthusiastic, to put it mildly) crowds, out side of Moscow, if you want to see/hear a celebration of the then-ongoing demise of the USSR ( along, of course, w/ their attending, for the first time,ever, a legitimate rock concert).
It was a hopeful time for a few years. We thought the fall of the Soviet Union would lead to a prosperous, friendly, and democratic Russia. We thought the Chinese were about to throw off the yoke of their Communist party. We were mostly wrong.
Peace is a nice thought in theory but it’s not possible in practice. Its just not, humans have been tribal since forever and the clash of deeply rooted cultures and the addition of evil minded people are a reality and something we will never fix. Not in anyone livings lifetime at the very least. Its best to focus on things we can actually impact like protecting life, especially innocent life ie babies and animals and then as many good people but changing human dynamics completely, on a global scale in particular, isn’t a possibility.
2:23 soooo, please lear about Earth history, even basic stuff from 1890-2010 in Europe and USA, because it's really worth it. This knowledge really affects your entire worldview and respect for others, county, culture and people.
I was in the Army over in Germany on border patrol when the wall came down,,, i had a 13 yr old East German girl bring me a piece of the wall,,,, that was later stolen from my hold baggage while i was deployed to Saudi Arabia for the first Gulf War,,, but i was there when the Wall came down
It was a song of hope when we saw many changes after the fall of the Berlin Wall and one of the most moving scenes is the young man climbing onto a tank in Tiananmen Square in China.
YES! Ive been waiting for this since the amazing still loving you video! Wonderful video, it makes me so happy to see someone appreciate the scorpions as much as me! Pleaseeee listen to always somewhere by then
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. 05/10/2018 GSR Reno, NV
I am very grateful to have experienced this time as a young man. The fall of the Berlin Wall, the freedom of nations in Europe. A moment of hope for peace. Unfortunately it didn't come true
I was 12 years old when the Berlin Wall fell and when the USSR fell. This song was written for my generation because we were the children of tomorrow in 1989 when this song was written. My parent's generation failed to build upon the new world. My generation failed your generation by not learning from their mistakes. I listen to this song, and think about my children's and your generation and pray for the peace in your future that we, your elders have squandered.
Key references in the lyrics: (1) "Moskva" is the Russian name for both Moscow and a river that runs through Moscow. The city is named for the river. (2) "Gorky Park" is a major park along the Moskva River in Moscow. (3) "Balalaika" is a Russian guitar-like instrument with a triangular body.
I grew up under the threat of WW3 in the 1980s. When the wall came down I was Army Infantry. It was a time we all thought major wars were going to end. It did not last long. but it was an incredible feeling at that time.
Although it tells the story of the end of communism in Europe(The Scorpions was the first foreign band to perform in Russia when they opened their boarders), it also refers to the conflicts all around the world, that were taking place around the same period, 80s to very early 90s. I believe this song has been the unofficial theme of countries seeking peace at that time. We are one of the countries that always had conflicts. Middle aged men in my country still play this song today.
Chill, girlfriend. This was a slow, chill, slow song that ya slow dance to. It's not supposed to hype you up. Your too funny. You gotta learn to relax. Take it easy. I was there for this little number upon it's release. These artists were from Germany and this was a commemoration of their country reuniting after being separated into East and West Germany for 45 years. It was also the end of an epic 1980's decade and the end of the U.S.S.R. as we had known her with it's Eastern block countries facing Nato since WWII.. The "Iron Curtain" came down effectively ending the "Cold War" I was there for it all. It really was a very special moment in time. Big shoutout from this old, longhaired, hippy dude in the Great Smoky Mountains of East Tennessee. U.S.A. Wishing you and yours, this upcoming Holiday Season ,Much Peace, Love, and Happiness. I hit the Sub button, Black Bell, and a Like for ya. And here's my little comment. I like your style and that beautiful smile. Best wishes for continued success with this channel. You have what it takes to do well. Good luck moving forward. See you on the next. Go with God. Later.
This song marked the line between the old and barbaric world and the new and amazing world of the future . We are the fifth great civilization of humans and we finally did what the other 4 could not . We passed the marker . Because of that all the children born in 2019 and after are all different .

So touching for sure. Remember the Scorpions are from Germany , so it's very special to them for sure. God Bless. May PEACE be with us all!!!

This song along with Jesus Jones 'Right Here Right Now' and Van Halen's 'Right Now' defined Gen X

After so many years, some people don't understand the song, and it has a new version in 2024, it has a new introduction
It's not against communism or capitalism, but about the stupidity of the war and the beauty of freedom and paz.
Yes bro
This song will definitely bring a tear to the eye.

Will give it a listen ❤️
Great song
Forget the video. Your such a beautiful woman. Nice reation to a great song
The song is not about the fall of the Berlin Wall, but a concert the Scorpions had performed in Russia.
It's pretty much about the 80s in general
Yeah... He seriously whistling while singing this song on live

Should build a new super wall around Russia.
"The Children of tomorrow" are we?
Putin was like, Hold my beer.
For 28 years Germany was divided by the Berlin Wall and many of the people hadn't seen their family members because of it
Where You from?
You from Poland?
So much hope in the 80s and 90s only to go to crap in the 2020s😢
IKR😭
Sure if you ignore Kosovo, Serbia, Iraq, Beirut, the list goes on.
Close it is the end of the cold war
Guns and Roses, Civil War 💯💯💯💯🫶🫣🤞🥺

Pentatonix sound of silence PLEASE!!!!😢
Not really actual..

Same. 1st AD. Ansbach.
One of the greatest Metal bands of all time.

It brings tears to ones eyes when you witness just how brutal man has treated one another throughout these dark hallmark moments in history!
EGO creates FEAR....and suffering.....LOVE creates UNITY and HAPPINESS
I had just arrived to Germany when the wall came down. It was an amazing time over there.
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.
