It is the end of the "Cold War" split between the East Berlin and West Berlin the capital city of Germany as Russia lost control over their Iron Curtain after first losing control of Germany. East Germany was under Russia's control and the wall was built around West Berlin as the city was in the Iron Curtain, but that western section was free like West Germany though surrounded by the Iron Curtain in the East.
In other words, West Berlin was the small piece of free capitalism in the Iron Curtain so as the wall was coming down the "Wind of Change" was that all of the Iron Curtain would then likely be free soon too. Right now Ukraine is fighting to maintain that freedom from Russia.
Scorpions is a very old band. "We burn the Sky" was in the 70s and listen to "Yellow Raven" too.
Bisscute you are the child of wind of change
It was a very hopeful time in the late '80s, early '90s. The "Eastern Bloc" and the "Warsaw Pact" had collapsed, the Cold War was over, the "Iron Curtain" was gone. (which was particularly noticeable in Germany, which was divided by the Iron Curtain). There was good reason to dream that in the future we could all live together as brothers and sisters. Unfortunately, things turned out differently.
Therefore, nowadays they sing the song with different lyrics. Look for this song dedicated to Ukraine.
Communism is now simply using China instead of the Soviet Union. The fight rages on.
And that's by design, in case you hadn't figured that out by now
Make rock and not war!
Do the concert in Moskva like in 1991 and let the People deside and not the leaders!!!
Very well said , Unfortunately things snapped back around worse than before.
Wind of Change relates to the dissolving of the USSR and Warsaw Pact in 1990. Significantly the destruction of the Berlin wall and Iron curtain which had separated Germany for fifty years, also ending the Cold War between Russia and the West. The song relates to the East German people who could now dream of a future no longer under oppression. A Wind of Change was blowing, a new beginning, families and friends were at last reunited.
I was attending College in Belgium (V.U.B.) during this time period. I was lucky enough to see the wall come down, even got a piece of it, it was a massive party. In addition I was at the first leg of the "Wind of Change" Tour in Belgium. They rocked the house down......One of the great "live" bands during this time period. Sounded just like their albums. Great times!
So lucky. What a time.
There was a whistle at the end of the song
When music picks young people up and lift their spirits up, magic is created. Bisscute's exploration into Music is very heart felt!
Beautifully said!!💕💕🤘🤘
Yes, found my soul sister lol. She reminds me of me lol.
Scorpions are still going strong today. They released a new album recently. Its amazing.
Actually they're touring, I saw them 2 weeks ago.
i was 10 when the berlin wall felt, 12 when germany reunited 1990. I remember the refuges my parents helpt, the exciting atmosphere and everything seemed to be possible. Man i love that song and honestly me big bearded man always tear up when i listen to it.
Same age here, and to this day, the fall of the Berlin wall was one of the most profound things in my life. SpaceX is rapidly passing it imho though, but the fall of the wall was HUGE.
@@dalehammers4425 just imagine how it was for us Germans ... I was 14 when news ticker popped up during a TV show with the "Sondermeldung" "Erich Honecker gestürzt!" (Breaking News: Erich Honecker has fallen!) ... it was so unreal that it took me more than 1 hour to realize they were not talking about him falling physically but politically ... I know I cried, there was fear and hope ... fear that the next man in power could be even worse, hope to be able to finally be able to see our family in Eastern Germany without barriers one day ... no one expected the re-union to happen ...
Imagine to live in times when "ABC training" at school had nothing to do with the alphabet ...
and now we are heading back into a new cold (or worse not so cold) war again ... Damn ...
@@BjoernVT being of German descent myself, I had family on both sides. I remember my grandfather breaking down crying watching the wall fall. Man never cried over anything that that got him.
l remember (USA).......lm 52. "Change"....."New Future". Now, ldk. ( Death, for Life)....? Maybe, Force, to Give Life and Peace. Slava Ukraini
@@BjoernVT Believe it or not, even as a Swiss, the moment moved me, it was really a glimmer of hope that this world will get better... unfortunately we are now on the way to such a time (I hope I'm wrong).
Wind of Change" was released as the album's third single on 21 January 1991 and became a worldwide hit, just after the failed coup that would eventually lead to the end of the Soviet Union. The song topped the charts in Germany and across Europe and peaked at number four in the United States and at number two in the United Kingdom.
1 of the Top 10 Live Bands of All time.......Seen them 3x, back in the day. lm 53...and this song still give me chills. Lets all pray for Peace, again.
I don't know why this version (massacred by the cut out) is even up. You can still get the general idea but to fully appreciate one needs to hear the one with the bridge (important in lyrics and music) and the amazing guitar solo. You really have to listen to the full version - you'll understand my feelings. This video is great for a second look at the song and to appreciate Klaus's singing and whistling, but it is only half good to get you acquainted with the masterpiece. It's like Mona Lisa seen only from the top to her nostrils. Or like Birth of Venus with only the shell and legs shown.
Yh actually the solo into a bridge into the last vocals is cut, no idea why either :W
These "live" performances (lip-synched air-band performances) are promotional, usually during some awards show or other event, not an actual concert.
These are meant to give a taste and move on quickly to the next thing. Sometimes a properly executed edited version can be good but most are so sloppy and butchered that I loathe most "single edit", "radio edit", etc.
I agree, the official video or a fan upload of the album recording would have been preferable. Even a live performance from an actual Scorps show would have been better than these commercialized bastardizations of otherwise good/excellent tunes.
I don't understand why a band (or _ANY_ artist) would put out a video that cuts out the best (and most important) parts of their songs. Radio stations do the same thing. You would think people who are _IN_ the music business, would recognize which parts of a song are the best parts, and wouldn't cut them out. Whenever I hear a chopped up version of a song, it pisses me off
@@taylortyler1867
Same here! I even hate it when "Greatest Hits" or "Best of" albums get some crappy edited version of songs, or a live performance instead of the original studio session. I mean, I suppose it makes sense if the live version was somehow the one that performed better than the original (i.e. Nightwish's Ghost Love Score Live at Wacken in 2013), but still.
In my youth, I did my own "edited versions", but that was out of necessity cos cassette tapes (the only "custom mix" media available at the time - the 80s) were a bitch to deal with ; I hated when songs got cut off cos of running out of tape, and I hated leaving 3-4 minutes of blank space at the end just cos nothing would fit. So I started doing edits ; figuring out what parts of songs I could cut out and still have the song sound decnet and not some choppy mess. At first it seemed like a great idea cos not only would stuff fit, but I could potentially get MORE stuff to fit. I soon learned I was cheating myself of good songs in their entirety that way. I eventually hated having to do it, but it was better than the alternatives... stupid tapes...
But my editing skills improved, and once computers entered the picture, editing got a lot easier and more precise. So now what I tend to do is EXTEND songs, lol. Any cool lick or riff that I feel should have been drawn out a little longer or whatever. It's usually only a few seconds but it can make a difference.
Some bands/artists also have a habit of ending songs prematurely by not repeating the chorus/reprise a couple of times as most songs tend to do, or the endings are just too abrupt otherwise, so those I tend to extend by several seconds (anywhere form 20-60 seconds) just by slipping in a couple extra choruses before the end.
Anyway, I'm babbling here, but the point is, I too hate that edited crap if it means taking stuff out or away.
Speaking of Scorpions and song lengths, one of the recent back catalog re-issues featured a version of Holiday that ran for 9 or 10 minutes (as opposed to it original 6¾ minute run). It's the same mix as on the 1979 album Lovedrive (or the 1989 remix from Rockers N Ballads - I'm not sure which, but it's one of the two), but rather than fade out where it normally does just under 7 minutes, it continues until the drums kick in and the song carries on for another couple of minutes until it finally fades out.
Anyone who likes to make out to that song would definitely appreciate those extra minutes, lol.
Agreed but I like all the versions and this song is just amazing no matter what.
You really need to see the official video for this song to get the full effect of it. It was a huge, HUGE song in its time and still moves many people to tears.
Watch it sometime. It’s full of historical videos & news clips from the era it was written ❤
I'm so lucky to see these gentlemen live!! Such an awesome band!!
Jealous ❤
For sure. Seen them in 84, 13th row. Kickazz live show.
@@BisscuteReacts❤very good video scorpion 🤘😎🎸 i from chile and you ❤❤
"Send me an angel" & "Rock you like an hurricane" are 2 fantastic songs by Scorpions. Incredible, you must listen them !
How about House of cards song?
That whistle is so unmistakable. It's basically the hymn of german reunification.
I see ❤️
the reason for older songs being short was radio requirements and time limitations of old recording media formats such as cd , lp ,cassette if you did want to go past the 1 hr barrier and use multiple records that was an extremely high cost to artist and consumer to do so but was usually worth it .
The members of Scorpions were from Hanover, West Germany... they grew up on 50's and 60's rock n' roll music and Scorpions began their career in the 70's. Now, in East Germany (which was under a Communist regime), western music was banned... The USSR had banned The Beatles in the 60's, so the Scorpions saw the polarizing attitude towards rock music on either side of the Berlin wall.
As the Scorpions rose to global stardom in the 80's, they wanted to play Russia in 1988, where they had built up a fanbase. The Soviet Premiere Gorbachev liked their music, and the Scorpions played Russia for the first time in 1988 and again in 1989 for the Moscow Peace festival.
Klaus Meine (lead vocals) was inspired by the fact that the Scorpions were able to play music in Russia where rock music had once been banned... Also, the fact that nazi Germany in 1941 had attacked the USSR during WW II and killed 27 million Russians... and here was a German rock band that had won over Russians w/ their music... It was a testament to the healing power of music. Once Klaus had written the song, the change that he had sensed was coming to Germany as the Berlin wall came down in 1990 and East & West Germany were reunited since 1945.
A truly beautiful song and a beautiful reaction. Thank you Biss for sharing!
I was in Berlin when the wall came down November 9, 1989. Actually watched history being made. Army, 8th Infantry Division
Saw them very often. "Wind of change" was the first song i was listening when i drove for the first time after getting the driving license..
This version was cut short! Nice reaction! When the Soviet Union took the Berlin wall down, and East and West Germany re-united. Was the inspiration for this song. A Happy time! The long version has a guitar solo, and a few more verses. I like your taste and reactions! Good for you, learning about our olden dayz tunes! Power to ya! Have a wonderful week! Keep Rock'n!
This was one of my Nannas faverate songs we played it at her life celebration and every time I hear this amazing song it reminds me of all the times Nanna would dance with us grandkids to this music. A truly great memory. Thank you for your perspective on this from one as young as you is refreshing.
I don't know how many people have probably already said this but this song came around the same time the Wall came down the iron curtain so many people gave their lives trying to get up with that so look this up the iron it'll give you the total history
One of my all time favorite songs. Its so emotional and beautiful. Thank you Biss!
Thank you
I think its so awesome and genuine that your face lights up into a big smile as soon as that beautiful voice is heard. Its magical :)
I was Army Infantry when the Soviet Union fell apart and this song was out. It really was a different time back then. Spent my child hood knowing ww3 could happen at any time. Then going off into the Infantry to fight in that future war. For a little period of time we all thought the wars were over. That did not last long. But it was a wonderful time
This song is verry Beutiful about the falling of the Berlin wall.
And i think it was a great thing.
About the same time i joined the Millitary.
And went too Germany.
Such a Great time in the world.
The Scorpions is a Great German band.
Seen them twice.
Once in Germany and once in the States.
Great Band and a Great time when the Berlin wall came down for the world and Germany 🇩🇪.
Love it's meaning.
for us germans, this song is THE SONG that portrays the unification with east germany 43 yrs ago.
just that...
32 years
The best band ever to come out of Germany
Thanx to responding bisscuit to this song❤❤❤
Otro gran temazo... todavía se escucha aquí en el cono sur porque son clásicos del alma..😉🌹muy buena reacción 👍 Leo 🇦🇷 argentina
Thanks ❤️
This song was about the fall of *The Soviet Union* in 91, and was played here at the gathering of people to see them tear down the *Berlin Wall!!*
Thank You biss! I've seen Scorpions two times Live before and there are the almost Amazing alive German band I have ever seen! Please do some more reactions videos. I recommend. scorpions - believe in love. Much love!, God Bless!!
I was at check point Charlie when the Wall came down,,, i had a piece of the Berlin Wall that was stolen when i got back from the 1st Gulf War
I’m from Sweden and I was 13 in 1989 when the wall came down, and 14 in 1990 when East Germany and West Germany united. In the summer of 1990 I was on a 1 month backpacking vacation with some of my relatives through Europe, and the first stop was in Berlin which still had small parts of the Wall still not demolished. I picked up a few pieces for keeps sake, and I’m very glad I did.
We traveled by train from my home town of Malmö (Sweden), through Berlin, Prague, Vienna, Venice, Monaco, Barcelona, Madrid, Paris and back home to Sweden. Was amazing just being in East Germany and Czechoslovakia.
This song was one of the most important (if not THE most important) songs of that era, particularly because of what it represented.
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.

The song was primarily a hit due to the times it came out: it was the end of the Cold War and hope for better times and the feeling of the „wind of change“ after several decades of east-west divide (especially for Germany). You know that Germany was devided into two states for more than 40 years and 1991 was also the year of reunification of Germany. You don‘t understand the song without knowing the context.
The Soviet Union may have fallen, but the war with Communism still rages on, we just dont like admitting it. And right now, Communism is winning.
Reunification was 1990
@@askeladd7271 As a specific moment that's been branded into ones mind, one might dargue that the first parts of the wall coming off were more important than the burocratic reunification.
@@Fuerwahrhalunke yes but in that case it would be 1989. Either way its not 1991
@@askeladd7271 True that
oh, yes... I need to watch this!!!
Saludos!!!!!!!!!!!! All the way from Perú
I was front row center at their concert on March 29th, 1991 in Wichita, KS. World War II was about fifty years before this. This was about the fall of the USSR in the 80's. Very interesting history. The wall reference is in regard to the tearing down of the Berlin Wall that joined East Germany again with West Germany and they again became Germany. Might big thing Ronald Reagan was president. This is one of my fave tunes ever for the lyrics and add all the musical part of it and it's just amazing.
Nice choice.
My father served in the Army and he was stationed in West Berlin during the Berlin airlift in 1949.
I remember the wall finally coming some 40 years later.
Another great song from these guys would be a live version of the Zoo.
Always love this song even though it was about Germany coming out of a really tough time and I think there were a lot of countries involved in this mess and too many civilians died in this too. Love your reaction as always.
i love your reactions! im brazilian.
You are very intelligent with your analysis, especially with this song occurring at the end of the Cold War. The Scorpions even show footage of the Moscow Peace Festival in the video. That is the crowd shots you noticed.
I was at that concert. unforgeteble. 🥰
Ok, When the smoke are going down, always somewhere and Born to touch your feelings are some other beautiful masterful ballads by them..
BissCute That was a awesome Premiere 😃👍
This was the most famous song during the break down of the iron curtain and it is a hymn of freedom Bisscute. I never forget the pictures in the News from people in the former east block celebrating their freedom and their new life.
Very nice that your generation revives this song, indeed it was meaningfull after… GLASSNOST what a time. I was 20 back then from West Germany born in West Berlin 1970 👏🏼
This is a unique and absolutely phenomenal classic. But in this version a part was cut out. Incredible video bisscute
The song was cut short for some reason in this version it was perhaps the best part. The entire song is great but I hope you found the full version and heard the entire song! 80’s the best music era 🍻 great reactions m, keep up the good work.
I was stationed in Bad Kissingen when the Berlin Wall came down in 1990. I shortly after was stationed back to Ft. Sill, Oklahoma where I attended Advanced Non Commissioned Officers Course before being deployed to Desert Sheild. This song was a big song during this time frame in my life as I left behind my almost 2 yr old daughter who was born in Schweinfort, Germany in 1998. My wife was 7 months pregnant with our second daughter that was born while I was deployed, on Thanksgiving day during a Sand storm I received a Red Cross message she had been born. Thanks for reacting, brings back many memories🙏🏼🌹💕
Navy here, was with you in both events but from the wet side.
I love the Scorpions and your channel 😀
So glad I started watching today. Found your channel watching reactions to Metallica. It is so fun for someone who has listed to them for literal decades watching someone discover their music for the first time. You said it best in your reaction to 'Master of Puppets', they are a "God tier" band. I have had the pleasure of seeing them live many times and they put that much energy into every show they do. I am looking forward to seeing you react to more of them and would be happy to assist in any information you want to know about with them. A few suggestions for other songs to cut your teeth on: 'Battery', 'Wherever I May Roam', 'Mama Said', 'Fuel', for starters but to be honest there is not much from Metallica you can go wrong with. I am jealous you get to hear it all for the first time, and most of all HAVE FUN!
This song is one of my favorite I never get tried of listening to it
Waiting from Philippines 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
You just have to see the official video, it has emotional meaning of the Iron Curtain 🙏
*When The Smoke Is Going Down.* is as awesome as so many others.
The Lead Singer is Klaus (Claus), but the Leader of the band is Rudolf Schenker. Scorpions was named after Rudy's SurName Sc(orpions)henker. Rudolf Sc(orpions)henker.
This song was inspired by the fall of the Berlin Wall, the reunification of Germany, and the sense if hope that came after
This is my favorite band on 1980s great band
Wind of the change. Modest of the change!!
This song was a tribute to the falling of the Berlin wall, and has been used for other promotions to create emotions for the cause.
The Moskva is a river that flows through Moscow, Gorky Park is a urban park in Moscow, "Let your balalaika sing what my guitar wants to say".
Being that I graduated high school in 1990, in 1987 President Ronald Reagan said "tear down this wall Gorbachev" 1989 was a huge year when the Berlin Wall was torn down with the fall of the Soviet Union.
You have to watched the official video, as a US Army Soldier who served during this period and witnessed the wall come down and the Cold War came to an end, it’s was a very special moment in our world!
Official video is captivating and powerful.
I remember this time...the band artfully captured the spirit of hopefulness emerging from a part of the world who's peoples had seemed eternally hopeless...as misplaced as that seems now. Here's to the human spirit.
Fun thing is - its wrong and when i look back i can say people in USSR were MUCH more happier then you in western world ever been and will be :)
In Case you are interested in other epic concerts from the early nineties: Pink Floyd’s Pulse Concert is a must. I recommend either „High hopes“ or „comfortably numb“ (with David Gilmore allegedly playing the best guitar solo ever played on this planet…)!
100% agree. Those are my 2 favorite Pink Floyd songs.
I love music 🖤🤘
Your reaction es nice 😍😘
Love this song in the original video showing the Berlin wall down
It refers as other commentators have said to the breaking up of Berlin wall. That wall divided people in Berlin for decades...aka the name winds of change as cold war was nearing its end.
I just love her when she says bisscute.
My mom loves that part too
This is the unofficial theme song to the end of the "Cold War"
La segunda guerra mundial termino en 1945. El 1991 termina oficialmente la Guerra Fría y se organiza un concierto en Rusia de Rock con Scorpions, Bon Jovi y otras grandes.
Best whistle in a song, ever.
I Absolutely Love your Accent And Keep up the Great Job Your Reactions are Excellent 🙏😇😎👍👊🤙
This is a short version of the song 😮 - listen to the full version!
dismantling the wall - winds of change
Your hair is absolutely gorgeous, Bizz. ❤️🙂
It's about the fall of the Wall that divided Germany into East and West. Also about perestroika in Russia...
For me as a Gen X, this song makes a lot more sense. I live the story the song refers to. Perestroika and Glasnost.
Scorpions are a very.popular.band in UdSSR CCCP.
Klaus Meine the leadsinger wrote this in 1988/89 when Gorbatschow Talk about Perestroika and the where on Tour in Russia
This was a short version of this song (for TV). Better listen to the full version!
The best song in ever!
Great song 👍👍
Thanks, glad you liked this ❤
You had to be a gen x living at the time. I just ETS from the US army and when I heard this song, I felt like I just demobilized after winning the cold war. Every time I hear this song, it chokes me up and I really could not tell your generation why.
This is one of the songs that marked end of Cold war, from western side. You should probably listen and react to the other one, from eastern side - by russian band KINO, "Changes!" (КИНО "Перемен!"). Though lyrics may not be easy for understanding, but chorus of this song is very clear and well known all around Russia, and it has become literally a hymn for changes in life during period of the Cold war ending.
Eu acho muito bonito quando as pessoas fazem as coisas bonitos pra eles e pro outros são todos os músicos eu gosto de ouvir música bonita e bem tocadas parabéns pra todos os músicos principalmente essa música q tá tocando é muito bonita🎸🏆
Reaction Scorpions "tease me please me"is fantastic!
This came out about the time the Berlin wall came down. Gives an idea about the meaning of the lyrics.
You're too young to fully appreciate it, but the change was really huge at that time, especially in Eastern Europe. Romania too, 1989...
Klaus Meine is such an accomplished vocalist….the cleanest voice you can ever dream to hear….and the guitar parts in this track are so tasteful… Scorpions will always ring of nostalgia to me….what a stellar band…People often mistakenly associate this with the fall of the Berlin Wall…but in fact it was inspired by the turmoil and the birth of reforms in communist Russia…a Russian Spring if you will….
We'd whistle this in Boot Camp (Great Mistakes 1991), get mashed for it, then whistle it again.
as the lyrics says it all... when the children of tomorrow share their dreams....for YOU and me! Brilliant song, excellent lyrics. If you comprehent the sense of it!
If u want to hear the evolution of the Scorpions and Klaus Meine's vocals, I suggest the following Scorpions songs:
'Leave me (1972)... "Speedy's coming" (1974)... 'In trance' (1975)... 'Yellow raven' (1977)... "He's a woman, she's a man" (1978)... 'Holiday' (1979)... 'The Zoo' (1980)... 'No one like you' (1982)... "I'm leaving you" (1984)... 'Believe in love' (1988)... "Tease me, please me" (1990) ... 'Woman' (1993) ... 'Wild child' (1996)... 'Mysterious' (1999)... 'Moment of glory' (2000)... 'New generation' (2004) ... 'Humanity ' (2007) ... 'Sting of the tail' (2010).
This song was released in 1990 and marked the end of the cold war in 1989 and reunification in 1990 of east and west Germany. I was in the Dutch army stationed in West Germany (Seedorf barracks - 41 squadron field artillery - M109) as part of the NATO alliance along the eastern borders of west Europe in 1988, guarding the east from the west. Strange but interesting times! Great song!
Should be guarding the west from the east of course....
Thank you for your service my cold war Brother.
I request the band "Helloween" with "Keeper of the seven keys" (live)! It is a german powermetal band and they are called as the most influencial powermetal band till today! On your metal trip you have to check them out! 🙌🏼
i second that....
Where you do a reaction or not you are going to love Send me a angel, very crisp lyrics powerful music.
Oh? ill keep that in mind ❤
Loving your reactions, good channel! Have a listen to 'No one like you' and 'Loving you sunday morning' by the Scorpions, they are an incredible band.
Most radio stations look for songs that clock in at about 4 minutes at the most...longer songs usually do not easily fit into their formats and allow for commercial breaks (which is how they make their money).
It s sad but at least I learned something today
The song is shorter because it's not the album version but it's still a great song especially live. Livin on a prayer by Bon Jovi would be great for a next reaction! 👍🏻
The Fall of the Wall, Blocking East & West Germany & of the people Reunited once Again...
Great Song & Great Reaction, Bisscute.. = )
