In Germany it became the anthem of the fall of the Berlin Wall and the End of the divided Germany. So it has a lot of meaning for all of us in Germany

Was für ein wahnsinnigen Song... Ich bin 1985 geboren, ich habe diese Veränderung als kleiner Junge in Westdeutschland erlebt. Ich habe gefühlt, dass da etwas grosses passiert. 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. Diese Band ist unglaublich! 🤘🤘🤘🤘

This song was the Eastern Europe anthem in that time. After 1989, the entire region was in a constant change. For the good or for not that good. People were living, sensing and embracing freedom like something they have never seen before. This song embodies thru lyrics and music what we all felt back then.

Also, feeling like this song needs to be heard today because of our current conflict. This is such a beautiful melody and sentiment. I pray the new children of tomorrow may still have dreams to share.

Listen to it again while watching the official video, it will totally move you. It was a great time to be alive!

Scorpions is a great band, actually something special for me. My father listened to them and he introduced me to this kind of bands.
He has been dead for 6 years and just like with Queen or Tears For Fears when I listen to Scorpions I can feel him close to me

As a retired Marine who served from 79-99, the Cold War was the core of my service. We spent years training for war with the Soviet Union. I spent a couple years on ship in the Mediterranean, Red Sea, Indian Ocean, the Black Sea and the Atlantic with our ships shadowed by Soviet ships and planes. That time period was tense with war drums . . . . . insurgencies in Central America funded by the Soviets and funneled through Cuba. This song came out around when the Berlin Wall came down. So much going on in the world at the time. This song with many others were the anthem of the time. We all felt like war was over forever. Semper fidelis.

This video was the short version sadly. There was so much more to enjoy.

I was young when the wall of Berlin came down. It wasn't until the last ten years or so that I understood the impact of that moment meant.

Excellent song. ❤

[Nueral]

This song takes me back to my younger years traveling 6 hours this song comes on and I look out the window and just remember all the good times I had ❤🌹

Such a great song! The origins are misconstrued in some ways, though. So many people believe it was specifically written for the fall of the Berlin Wall. The truth is, this song was conceived after the Scorpions played a festival in Moscow prior to the events of the wall falling. It marked one of the first times major rock bands played in the Soviet Union. Up to that point rock music was frowned upon there. So the fact they were in Moscow, in a massive stadium playing rock music, was monumental. And during that festival, a moment inspired the beginning roots of the song that we later knew: "I follow the Moskva down to Gorky Park" a reference to a moment they had sightseeing down the Moskva River while they were in Moscow, "An August Summer night" referring to the festival that took place in Moscow in August, "soliders passing by" was in reference to Red Army soliders, "Listening to the wind of change" in reference to how they felt to be playing in a country that long had been against that kind of music. The song was originally about THAT moment that they shared during that festival. Then before release of the song, the Berlin Wall fell and the song gained even more meaning. So yes, the song came to be the anthem for Germany during the fall of the Berlin Wall and an International anthem for the end of the Cold War, but at it's roots, it was a song about Moscow and how they were apart of a festival where they (all the bands) felt like "changes" were coming... "The future is in the air, I can feel it everywhere, I'm blowing with the wind of change". On point for what was to come. The official video released after all these events and the band wanted to include imagery of the Wall coming down because the song took on deeper meaning at home. So, Wind of Change is the perfect example of how a song can become about more than what it was originally intended to be. A beacon of hope in a time where some of the most impactful changes in history happened. And let's face it, the song is beautiful. Great reaction :)

It's a shame that One of Tho most emotional guitar solos of all time was missing on this version

[joespradley]

I was in Germany stationed at Bad Kissingen when the wall came down. It was amazing to see those who crossed over and stopped and looked with awe how things were on the free side of Germany.💕

[BlackRangerMode]

This song and "send me an angel" and "still loving you" are my favorite songs

[davidaquarius]

As an old grey haired fool who's been listening to rock music for over 60 years, I've found that you hear the song when you were meant to hear the song. I love watching young folks hear my music for the first time. It brings back memories of when I first heard the song. Many a time I've shed a tear as I see some young person express love for a song that was very important to my youth. Congrats on your new digs, make sure you get your favorite plant friends in place once you've settled. Thanks for the reaction and be safe!

[TheLoner]

It’s been said before already but yes, this song is THE anthem for the fall of the Berlin Wall, timeless and soooo beautiful. Unfortunately you did a very short version of a TV appearance from this song, the full version is so much more beautiful and you missed really almost the essence of the song and a very beautiful guitar solo. Definitely have to do this one again in the right version Aileen!

[smavtmb]

I find this song so peaceful, and uplifting. Glad you'll be continuing your Scorpions journey.

[MusicUniverseGermany]

I've visited their concert tonight - they are as good as ever. Absolutely blessed to be able to say they are from my hometown and are rocking it for so many years now

[leemiracle]

You gotta listen to the full version with the guitar solo and all!

[timothylamora]

I just love this song ! In these dark days I would just love to jump in a time machine and go back in time to the 80’s !

[Dan_Eddy]

so glad to see you go on a Scorpions journey. I would definitely recommend "No One Like You". Such a banger. Also for the best guitar riffs you'll ever hear and a VERY underrated song of theirs "Catch Your Train". Happy to see you back 😊👍
