      This song came out when I was in high school from 1989-1993. During that time, the Berlin wall came down, the Soviet Union collapsed and the cold war of 40+ years ended. At that time, the song seemed contemplative and cautious but also hopeful about the future.
      Now, 30 years later, with the Russian invasion of Ukraine and seeds of a new cold war between western countries and Russia and China, this song makes me feel so sad. It seems that cycles of peace and hope never go on forever and will inevitably encounter these periods of senseless war and oppression.

      Yes it is old metal he's right. In that time, 80's we called Hard Rock to Metal bands as Scorpions, AcDc, Aerosmith, Van Hallen, Bon Jovi, Queen, Def Leopard, Led Zeppelin. Hard Rock was the lowest category in Heavy Metal degree. In the 80's the Hard Rock scene was "dying" to be replaced defensively by Heavy Metal in 90's. So today even to Hard Rock bands we are calling Metal. An example in 80's to bands like Metallica, Megadeath, Kreator, Destruction we didn't called Trash Metal we called them Speed Metal. Back to 80's, we didn't have power Metal, or Trash, or doom, grange, etc., we just had 4 categories of Metal scene, Hard Rock, Heavy Metal, Speed Metal and Heavy Metal Symphonic.

    This song is liquified emotion. I'm crying every time I hear it.
    Greetings from Germany. This song means a lot to us over here. It meant overcoming errors from the past, becoming whole again, and despite I was born shortly after the reunion, this spirit is cemented in our people. It's reflected in this music, in the liberty loving techno of the 90s, the german nightlife, especially in Berlin, and all of that just spells hope, peace and foes becoming brothers. That's why I love my country with all its flaws and problems.
    All people can connect through music, and I really think if there's one chance for all people on earth to stop hating each other and work on common goals, it will be through music, not through conquest or anything else.

      it is history now but the cold war was a big burden for all of us, who lived trough this time. I was 19 when the wall came down and was in Berlin. The sentiments of the cold war are also captured in Stings "Russians" and Billy Joels "Lenningrad". Both songs highly recomended.

    This song brings tears to my eyes every time I hear it. I served in Germany while in the Army from 1986- 1989. I saw Scorpions live as the headliner to The Monster's of Rock concert at the Nurnberg Zepplinfeld in 1988. This is the site where the Nurnberg trials took place and I watched from the podium that is in the old videos of where Hitler stood reviewing the troops. Standing there I couldn't help but think about the changes that had taken place in the world, and that was a perfect segway for the changes I was unaware of that were about to take place. In January of 1989 I pulled border duty at O.P. Alpha. Looking out the tower across the "iron curtain" was something that was overwhelming to my mind. I also made a couple trips through East Germany to Berlin and stood face to face with Soviet Soldiers. Even looking back it all it still seems surreal. I left Germany in May of that year but by the next summer the fall of the Berlin wall and the Soviet Union was the focus of the world. The first time I heard this song the magnitude of it all came into focus. It made me feel that in some small way I a part in it all, and maybe even just one note in this song represented me. That is the beauty of music! We all want to feel like we make a difference, that this all means something. When I heard this song it made me feel like in an insignificant way I contributed to something inconceivably huge. For that I am eternally grateful, because that feeling will be with me until the day I die.

      Dude I agree with you but there is so much more into Scorpions than their ballads. They were actually pioneers of metal and have influenced many metal bands even ones like Iron Maiden and Judas Priest. Listen to songs like Blackout, Rock you like a hurricane, Alien Nation, Virgin Killer, The Zoo, She's a Woman He's a Man and many more. I'd actually suggest you listen full Virgin Killer, Taken by force and Blackout albums. They are one of the best hard rock bands ever. It's a pity to only recognise them for their ballads.

    This was such a personal song to me back then. Still is, actually. The Berlin wall fell in '89 and it shook the world. Then the first Gulf War started in '90. Being 17, there was a bunch of anxiety around if all of us were going to be finding ourselves up to our eyeballs in sand in some other country in a year. A year later, I graduated. A few months later I fell in love. A few months after that my heart was in shreds. There was so much change going on in the world and my life, and this song was a catharsis for all of it; the sad, the sweet, the scary, and the euphoric. I can look back at all of it now, even the most painful parts, with fondness now when I hear this song.

    What I love about this particular channel is that I'm watching a younger person have the exact same reaction I had when I first heard these songs in the 80s and 90s. It's so great to see the appreciation for this type of music because it had such an impact on all of us who are over the age of 35...roughly.

    I was stationed in Germany in 1987-89 when the Berlin Wall came down. Kind of a scary time. Nobody had a clue as to what was going to happen. I was in an Armor Unit while serving. I was a M1A1 Tank crewman ( driver). Thankfully nothing bad happen when the wall came down. I've seen many concerts while in Germany. Proud to say I seen the Scorpions ( Savage Amusement Album) open for Metallica ( And Justice for All Album). One of my all time favorite shows. Scorpions have a ton of good songs. One of my favorite is The Zoo. Check it out!

      I agree, The Zoo is one of the best Scorpions songs. I hate it when people only pick the radio hits. That usually tells me they aren't really die hard fans and never bought albums. We all know if the album is worth a shit then the best songs are going to the ones not released on the radio.

You can buy the DVD but it's on RUclips as well if you'd like to check it out. Van Halen was the big draw here but they couldn't match these guys either. Thank you, this brought back many memories for me. Klaus is definitely a legend.
