      My sister was in Germany on a trip about a month after the wall fell and she was able to rent a pickaxe to chip off pieces of it - I still have mine tucked away in a box. To look at it, it's just a piece of concrete, but it's cool to know I'm holding a piece of the Berlin Wall. Like you, growing up in the 70s and 80s, I thought it would be there forever.

      @@dbradx I remember asking my father when I was a kid why there were two german teams on the football world cup. That was in 1978 and/or 1982, can't remember. Then I remember very well that I was watching the news on TV in 1989 that they made the wall fall. I was 16 and didn't know anything about it. In my country there were just two TV channels by that time and we had little information about the other countries in Europe. In school they taught us about the two World Wars, but probably my teachers should have mentioned very little about the wall, as well.

    This song is about the end of the Cold War. I had a chance to see the Scorpions live in Moscow years ago, but I couldn't get anyone to go with me and it wasn't safe to go out at night alone as a female foreigner in Russia in 1997, a few years after the collapse of the Soviet Union and the end of the Cold War. I have followed the Moskva River down to Gorky Park, though (Moskva is the Russian word for Moscow), in homage to this song.

Living my first 40 years in the shadow of the Cold War there was real hope it was finally over. When this song came on the radio and I looked out at all those young people, I had to do all I could not to cry. Of course world peace wasn't just around the corner. But the Iron Curtain finally did come down for millions of people in Eastern Europe.

    One of the best moments of my gig-going life was with this band. I was at the famous Scorpions gig at the Brandenburg Gate in Berlin in 1999, celebrating the tenth anniversary of the fall of Berlin Wall. During this song many many denim and leather clad hairy-arsed heavy rock fans, many of whom were former East Germans, were openly crying and hugging one another "like brothers" - me included. At that moment we felt we could change the world and that we really are all just one people. God, I wish we could all that feel like that again today, the world really needs it.

    Scorpions vocalist Klaus Meine said he wrote 'Wind of change' being inspired by the band's first concerts in Russia around 1988/1989... seeing thousands of Russian fans singing their songs. The Soviet Union had once banned the Beatles in the 1960's... and the Scorpions were then playing rock concerts there. He remarked that Germany in World War 2 had invaded Russia and killed millions of their people under the nazi banner... and just 40+ years later, a German rock band 2 generations later, were able to appeal to Russian fans and heal the wounds w/ the power of their music and a message of peace.
    After the single's release, East & West Germany reunited as 1 country after decades of being separated by the Berlin wall in 1990... so it meant a lot to the Scorpions...

    As has been mentioned, this song involves some historical context. It was released in 1990 just after the fall of the Berlin wall and in the wake of the collapse of the Soviet Union; The line "I follow the Moskva down to Gorky Park" refers to a specific location in the city of Moscow, Russia. The Moskva river runs through Moskva (that's Moscow in Russian, by the way) and Gorky Park has it's own place in history as well. We had such high hopes then. Maybe too high, I'm afraid.
    That said, and whilst I haven't yet been able to visit Moscow, I do have it on my "Bucket List" to return one day to a free, united Berlin, Germany. The last time I was there (early 1980's) it was still divided city. and I still have my passport with visa stamps crossing between west and east Berlin through the infamous Checkpoint Charlie. I am old enough to have living memory of both Ronald Reagan's plea, "Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall" as well as John Kennedy's "lch bin ein Berliner" speech (I am a Berliner, but he spoke it in German). To stand in Berlin, a free, united city in a free, united Germany is a lifelong dream of mine. This song always reminds me to work to make that dream come true. "Dreams don't have to have motion to keep their spark alive. Obsession has to have action, pride tuens on the drive" #RushLyricsForEverything

    Rudolf Schenker (on rhythm guitar) formed The Scorpions in Hanover back in 1965, making them near contemporaries of groups like The Rolling Stones. And until this record (which has sold in excess of 14 million copies and is itself 30 years old in 2021), they were living in the more amenable West Germany. In an era where people are talking endlessly (and belligerently) about border controls, perhaps they should stop and consider the consequences people then faced in crossing from one side of the capital to the other...

    Klaus Meine has such a great, articulate voice for all types of Rock Music. If you like Scorpions Ballads, check out Send Me An Angel next. That song really touches the heart.

    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.
    I saw them live at the GSR Casino in Reno three days after Tom Petty died.
    A friend and I bumped into a couple of them after the show in the Casino bar and they hadn't even heard about it. STUNED would be the easiest term to use.

      The whistling was the drawing in with a haunting sound than singing picked up the rest with the whistling in the background gave this song a meaning going clear to the soul. This was pure genius the way it was all arranged.

    The message of this song is comprised in the Line:
    The wind of change blows straight
    Into the face of time
    Like a storm wind that will ring
    The freedom bell for peace of mind

    I just learned this song about 3 weeks ago, (the rhythm guitar part). My fiance lives in Ukraine. I had heard this song a 100 times but never really listened to the words or thought about it. I mostly listen to the sounds. Anyway, so when I was learning the words to sing it, it occurred to me, this HAS to be about the fall of the Berlin Wall. Sure enough, I looked it up and that is what its is about. I thought about that speech that President Reagan made at the Brandenburg gate.. "Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall." And I got very emotional. It meant something to me. I didn't even realize how the song had become an anthem throughout Eastern Europe for freedom, especially economic freedom, freedom from the chains of socialism. I guess that is why my fiance Elena likes it so much. I always liked it but now is one of my favorite songs.

    The man climbing on the tank, no one knows his name but everyone who saw what he did knows he is a hero. He stood in front of a column of tanks forcing them to stop. While the column eventually resumed their trek to Tiananmen Square for a moment a HERO stood taller and stronger than any army. My heart goes out to those brave souls who died standing up for freedom in China. May your dream one day come true.

      I was 11 when the wall came down, and I watched it on tv with my grandparents. And while I may not have fully understood everything about it at the time, I KNEW something major was happening. Nothing had ever made my grandfather cry, or my grandmother shut up before or since in my life.

      Ronald Reagan didn't make it happen. He was a notorious hardliner that almost triggered world war 3 by joking about it into a hot microphone . To many in Europe he was like an early combination of the Trump and Biden. After Bush I took over in 1989 it was revealed that Reagan was seriously senile during his last time in power.

    The Scorpions wrote this song after the Berlin Wall came down, marking the end of the Soviet Union in Germany. Since the Scorpions are from Germany it was a particularly emotional time for the band.
