This song reminds me of my sister. 11/5/1966-12/20/2019 R.I.P. In the 90's she went to a Scorpions concert in California and this was her favorite song. A few months later I came to the states and she was telling me all about it. I could picture her all happy during the concert. I was 13, now I am 42. It has been a year since she has been gone and i miss her so much.
I’m here in memory of my mum’s passing on 4th May 2022 because this is the song she requested for and I played it endless times during her last stage of life. Those period were tough but thanks to this song, it has given mum more calmness and strength while battling pancreatic cancer. I miss my mum Jane❤️
Rest in Paradise, Jane. This is a heart wrenching, yet beautiful story - the strength it takes to talk about these things is intense. Thank you for feeling you could share here ~ it's appreciated, respected, and a lovely tribut to your mum
@@taniapaolagonzalez7574 It's beautiful of you to extend your understanding and experience like this. I'm sorry for your loss as well. Thank you for the support you provided here - super refreshing to see online
This played at my moms funeral. I sang it. I cried during it, but it was definitely worth it. I love you and miss you mom. Rest In Peace beautiful soul. You will forever be missed.
TO: Cookie Monster, This is one of , if not, my favorite song. My Mother just passed away last March, so when you said you sang it at your Mother's funeral I think that was an absolutely beautiful thing to do. Although the song is about the Cold War, we all interpret songs differently. Would you record yourself singing the song, I'd really like to hear you sing it. One thing I know for sure...your Mother heard you singing this song and was looking down with a smile. There ARE SUCH THING AS SPIRITS. We just do not have the technology right now to prove it...but we are getting there..if you've seen Ghost Adventures before you'll see some of the new equipment they have to detect a Spirits presence. I believe in it very much and I don't know how long it will take...I don't think we will see it in our lifetime, and our grandchildren won't see it either but after that I believe someone will be the first person to actually see and speak with a Spirit. A Spirit can never die. As long as you speak their name, they are never really gone. Remember that. God Bless you and ALWAYS REMEMBER YOUR MOTHER AND MY MOTHER CAN SEE US BOTH.....IF YOUD EVER LIKE TO TALK IM HERE..... IT WOULD BE NICE TO TALK AND HELP EACH OTHER COPE...I DONT THINK THIS LETS YOU ENTER EMAIL ADDRESSES SO ILL WRITE IT LIKE THIS....EMAIL ME AT Pats128124 at A O L dot com. -AL

my spanish teacher started playing this song out of NO WHERE and i honestly wanted to just break down crying bc it reminds me so much of my dad. Hes not dead i just love him allot
I wish my dad loved this song too but sadly his and my taste of music doesn't matches at all you're so lucky. Hope so God always blesses you and your father ❤️❤️
My father usually whistles this song while fixing the car. He served as a peacekeeper in Lebanon back in the 1992. I was born in Israel and we are all from Finland. When his service ended, we moved to Finland. Thanks for having us 💙🤍💙🤍
This is one of the most beautiful ballads I have ever heard...from so many years ago. Older than most who write about it! I truly don't understand how anyone can hate it..it's about hope, it's about love and freedom, that so many take for granted. There will always be poverty, there will always be despair, however without hope or a chance for change for the wellbeing of common good and happiness life truly has no meaning. We all want better for our loved ones that survive us...for Gods sake give them the opportunity to do so! I bet since the release of this song many have done just that!
I think only people who fear communists - REALLY MUCH - would hate on this song... Also it´s my Birth-song, so I can´t hate in it!!! ; ) I was born on an August summer night that year the wall fell, that year they say they were inspired to write the lyrics for this song... Because they were in Moscow that summer! Later on they would be the first western band to play in Moscow, from what I´ve read... I don´t remember what year, but it was probably in the very early 90s..
The fall of the Soviet Union marked one of the darkest times for its former states. Industry was gutted, everything was sold off and stolen, and people were left jobless, without food, and without hope. This song spits on that loss. Listen to children’s dreams? what dreams were to be had? their futures were stolen from them and it is still never the same again.
About 20yrs ago I was riding down the road with my older brother..This song came on and just as the part "Like brothers" was sang he turned to me and grabbed my hand and told me he loved me..the one and only time he's ever said he loved me..I'll never forget that moment as long as I live..There is no stronger bond than that of two brothers!...From my heart to yours bro...I'll never forget you JG!
This feels more like a gay type ...Seriously your brother did that?...My brother steal my car key from my room and drove away with his friend and the moment I came out to catch them ...He Said from the car window pane 'Thank you,'I love you brother' and Drift away like a wind...and even though i'm angry ..I smile in inside and Said Safe journey ..
This used to be my and my dads song when I was little, I couldn't go to sleep without listening to this song. It really means a lot to me. As I grew older I kinda forgot of this song, because I never heard it in a while. As I was watching the interview, I heard this song and searched it on RUclips right away, started crying, now ever time I put this song on, I cry.
Thats why i.came here looking 4 this song. Isolating myself with my little man .God help us all.!!! Stay Strong Everyoneee . This too Shall Pass . Love u all ❤❤
It’s so amazing how Music can become so transcendental! It gives me nostalgia, feels I’m there at that time but in the conflicts of today! It’s hard to explain! Strange to feel!
I keep wondering , that we as humans don’t learn from the history , and instead we are trying to delete it like it didn’t happen, It’s hurtful but the only way we can live better is understanding our past to live our present the most so we can build a better future
This is such a beautiful song. I pray for the end of conflict in Ukraine and the world. Time to embrace each other as brothers and sisters, one human race.
I’ll always remember my dad playing this song full on blast taking me to school every morning. I love you so much papa, would do anything to bring you back
yes well, there is no other Song which presents the peace than this song. This was the song in the times of Michael Gorbatschow, a man full of peace - we miss him in this times (06.08.2022)
I remember as a child my grandfather who's passed yelled at me to watch this back in the 80s. He was a an army man and had special to the sr71 that me and my uncles used to look at. I wish in time we can break over racial boundaries one day. As a species. We need it.
Lost my best friend in 2010 and remember being in high school. We sat on a hill talking like young men do. We sat and sang that song. Said wonder what life holds for us. Now watch our kids grow. Much to ponder
Lost my friend just 2 weeks ago. She loved that song too. Today my father was playing it and i was thrown back again to all the memories i share with her. Im very sorry about your lost
Even with all the sadness today I'm still smiling from all the past memories of having a great childhood. Continue strong all and don't let no one get you down.
This song reminds me of my dad. I used to love this song because back to the days when i was a child, my dad used to always hear this song when we used to have family trips, but then years passed by, we had family issues and my dad has completely forgotten about me and now i hate this song because it reminds me of him and i know he still hears this song so, dad if you see this comment, i love you even though you don't care about me anymore because i do care about you.
Being a 2000s kid i always dream of being born in 1970 or something, but when you think about it, the past has many imperfections. Wars, war threats, other not so good things. Sure, the wars end, but its not jsut peace, love and plants after that. Nuclear war with Russia was an angry idiot away. So while I don't adore these times, how much better would the past have been?
This song has so much meaning. I grew up during the cold War. Now I see the world plummeting right back to the 50s through the late 80s. We almost had it. Pray for the children.
I tear up everytime I hear this song. It's almost like a song that's begging the world to realize what it's doing to itself. I know there will never be peace on earth but at least this song gives you a little hope. Damn, this song is powerful when you really listen to the lyrics and equate it to the world.
yes, we had a couple of decades of hope and love....then the haters came out of hiding, to destroy the love that was trying to blossom like flowers, of the flower children's children....now we have hate growing...its time for the younger ppl to show hate the door.... Love is the answer .
I feel the same way unfortunately it seems peace is less and less possible, this song is making me cry thinking about all the brave Ukrainians fighting for their freedom
+Sora Trubey I think you're entitled to you opinion like all humans, but I also think you're wrong. All of us on Earth are brothers and sisters and the people of the Ukraine should have the same rights as anybody anywhere.
The song is about the Berlin wall being torn down, the unification of Germany, the end of Communism, the hope of positve changes for the countries of the eastern block. It's unfortunate that so many issues are currently going on
I heard this song yesterday and I think it might be my new favorite song of all time. No matter what. Where we're from or what we're doing or who we are this song brings hope for people who think there is no more. We need to stick TOGETHER. God bless!
5 years ago I was in Moscow and found myself in Gorky Park. My tour guide hooked me up with joint and this song popped in my mind. I definitely was on the scenic route while jamming to this song on repeat for an hour straight. Amazing song and a beautiful park
I heard this song for the first time when I was about 11 years old.a young African girl full of promise.just turned 40 and after a full life just reconnected.i still love it as much ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I watched TV endlessly as the wall came down and the Soviet Union fell apart, but I don't think the full emotional impact hit me until this song came out -- and it hits me all over again every time I hear it. It's the perfect soundtrack for a time of momentous historical events.
I was in the Army when the wall came down. This song makes me think back to those days. I remember thinking, "That's it. The Cold War is over and we didn't blow each other up."
Dude what are you talking about? The wall came down in 89. This song about Soviet union came out years before 89. This was just appropriately used as the anthem for the wall.
@@sunsetarts yeah the cold war continued into the 90s. The wall came down in 89 it was the end of the nuclear arms race and the final end of wwii. How did you not know cold war was still going.
@RARES ADRIAN CIOCAN - so as long as people buy into it. An having the Bait an switch game going down in the wind of change will in the end be for your freedoms that you are willing to give up as a healthy living human being who can choose whatever he or she wants
This song reminds me of Germany. I was stationed in Weisbaden. Me and my friends drove out to East Germany and watched the wall come down. Brought a tear to my eyes.
I'm from Germany, my parents where young when the wall was defeated. It was a peaceful revolution. I have a family history of war and death. My granddads dad was in the army during WW2 his brother was a terrorist fighting against the Nazi Regime. War destroys familys, fashism of any kind destroys familys. Right now Germany is not the Germany I used to grow up in. People who are sick or handicapped, who can't wear a mask because that is a threat to them are getting yelled at. People are angry at those they claim to protect because they can't wear a mask. Familys split up over those issues once more. We are getting robbed of our constitutional rights. It hurts so much to see Germany change. I always felt save here, now because I have questions about how our government is handling the crisis I have to be scared every time I leave my house. I'm scared for my mum who has a chronic illness threatened not only by a virus she can't protect herself from with a mask but also because of how she gets treated. This song makes me cry cause it feels like our country gets robbed of all freedom and peace we have build over the last 70 Years. I want my live back, I want the country back I grew up in. I can't handle the hate anymore
Ame Escamila Well, if wishes were fishes... Don't worry about it. If there's one thing you should take from this song, it's that the winds of change are always blowing.
I closed my eyes when I listened to this.. This is what I felt: A wind breeze through my body, the whistling of the song kept me calm, the voice of the singer made me conscious in the moment, the words didnt make any sense but they kept me concentrated. All I kept focusing on was the strongest emotion that I felt from the begging of the song..which was hope. I felt hope about my own life, that when I was ready to open my eyes again, I would be another person, in another place, far from anything that I could imagine. That when I was ready to rejoin reality, It was going to be a new dimension.... Anyways, thats what I felt.. So, have YOU opened your eyes yet?
Yes, indeed, I was on the streets of Moscow on August night, 1991. The hope is alive and hoping for more positive change, so people of all background could live in peace, harmony......
Listening today February 11, 2024 while it’s playing in the background of the movie I.S.S, this song was played a lot back in early 90’s, the meaning of the words just gives me tears, life was so simpler back then, no wars, no mass shooting, no cartels, no human trafficking, everyone got along, nostalgia just hits me, breaks my heart today the world we live in. 😢 Thank you to the Scorpions for making a masterpiece of a song.
Are you just being silly? Their were wars going on during the 90s and the cartels were arguably st their peak during the 90s (hello zetas??) Human trafficking has been around since the dawn of time.
I would say the most meaningful. First we'll take every major rock band's best song (In my opinion of course). Running up for the Beatles we have: Hey Jude. Pink Floyd submits: Brain Damage/Eclipse. Blue Oyster Cult bets their money on Don't Fear The Reaper. Rolling Stones is all for their Sympathy For The Devil. Led Zeppelin is taking the Stairway To Heaven. I have to say this song compares with these songs pretty well. GG scorpions.
For a solid month before Covid hit the states, this song just seemed like it was everywhere. I'd turn on the classic station, playing. Load up Pandora, this song played. RUclips? Queued in my playlist. "The wind of change blows straight, into the face of time."
After learning the true story on why this song was written by watching a documentary in history class, I never knew it was about the Soviet Union and Communism. This song was made to celebrate the destroying of the Berlin Wall. It made me feel very grateful on what I have today.
The Soviet Union’s illegal dissolution against the will of the people brought starvation, disease, destruction, and lead to desperation. Schools were abandoned, industries destroyed. Hope was lost on that day, and has never truly returned. Do not be grateful for what you have, be enraged for those who had it all stolen from them. Those who didn’t have a choice, no opportunity.
The first time I heard this song was the last sunday of 2019. I was thirteen, and my family and I were driving back from church and we heard this song, and my mom said that it was a popular song in her senior year. I liked that song, and it was in my head the rest of the day. I was at the Seahawks game later that day, where they were battling the Niners for the division. It was my first time going to an NFL game, and I'm a die hard Seahawks fan. We lost on the one yard line (with a missed pass interference call the play earlier). But that song became one of my favorites
What a meaningful song! I am of love with this song, the scorpion chorus is always incredible and effective, their performance is beyond comparison.💗💗💗💗
Such a sweet, peaceful, and emotional song especially with all that is happening in our world today due to this terrible pandemic. The only good thing I discovered through this difficult time to be a better person and enjoy life with the little or few that you have. Life is what really matters,family,friends, and helping others. This song makes me realize how beautiful life can be it’s what you put in that will bring happiness and a ☻ on your face. To all of you guys out there stay safe and 🤗 and 😘
this is my mother’s ringtone. perhaps her favourite song at that moment. i am scared of losing her anytime sooner or later. everyone does. we can just reminisce the people we love through the things that remind us of them. i am scared knowing that when i grow up whether she is still there or not, listening to this song will remind me of her then i’ll be cry a river
This song and “Send me an angel” was my dad’s favorite songs and he listened to it every day.. I love you so much Daddy and i miss you every day.. 17/12/19
+Epikdude70 good music can still be found despite the machine but it is more difficult and you must be active about your seeking in a way that you did not have to be before the music industry became corporate and so much music we heard was indie.
Beautiful song About the end of the Cold War The unification of Germany The end of the then known Communism . . . The future is in the air I can feel it everywhere August summer night Soldiers passing by Listening to the wind of change .
You almost got it right. Wind of Change is about the collapse of the USSR, the old Soviet Union, in 1989/90, not really about the reunification of East and West Germany. The "Moscva" is the Moscow River.
The end of communism spelled the destruction and theft of the soviet people. Their hope, their future, their jobs, education, food, wealth. It is not hopeful, it is devastating.
+HorseyGirl500 The first time I heard this song, I only like the whistling because it made me feel nostalgic. The entire song eventually grew on me over time
+HorseyGirl500 Hey, when i heard the song before 6 years I started love it cuz the music is good, no metter if u are yonger or old or u do not like the style of music..
This is an incredibly beautiful and powerful song on so many levels. If is feels meaningful to you, look into it's history and meaning, culture, etc. This came about during an amazing period of world history. I love it.
this was my dads favorite song I remember going with him and my brother an sister to the beach on the highway listening to this song Loud in his truck having a good time good memories with him I wish I can go back to those times he passed away 10 yrs ago miss u dad 😥
Israel Jimenez Your story reminds me of when I was growing up in the early 90s my dad used to listen to a lot of Pink Floyd in his old 1969 Ford truck and those were fun times. My dad is still alive but my mom has been gone for almost 4 years now. I am sending you hugs
My uncle just passed away today. So I decided to play his favourite song. When I was a kid I used to sleepover at my grandmother's house a lot. So whenever it's morning I always wake up to the whistling. From there I learned that a genre called rock and metal exists. Without him I wouldn't have found an amazing band like Metallica, Megadeath, Black Sabbath, Judas Priest, Killswitch Engage and there are so many more. Rock forever
Let your balalaika sing What my guitar wants to say... One of the Most Beautiful 🎸 Solos in the history of Music!!!!!!! LOVE, LOVE, LOVE it so Much!!!!!
To folks too young to have known what it was like, who’ve grown up in a much more cynical world, or who’ve forgotten it, this is what it felt when decency and brotherhood triumphed.
Tell me, was there a single ray of light before rome fell? The wind of change is sometimes a gentle breeze, sometimes a stout wind. I say to you, a dark and terrible maelstrom comes this way, there is no light in it, it will wash over the globe like hurricane rain. A new dark age is coming, the only hope we have is that we'll not live to see our children suffer through it. I would speak further, were was your "Brotherhood" when the Balkans fell? were was your "Decency" when Rhodesia died, what aid did you give to the millions that died in the second half of the twentieth century? Your generation was blessed with prosperity, but you waxed fat and became lethargic, apathetic, while your leaders did the opposite and stuck their noses in all the wrong places. Instead of where they should have. Yes, we are cynical, but it was born of prescience, not nihilism.
@@Oneamongthelegion I don't know James Drake, so I don't know how old he is, or what generation he belongs to, but I do know my self, and my generation. I had just turned 11 when the Berlin wall fell in 1989 and I can tell you: I have the images of those people, people who hadn't seen their friends and family members on the other side of that fucking wall since 1961 - 28 years! - and were now going at it with hammers and crowbars and stuff they found on the ground, hacking it pieces, climbing on top of it, reaching out to touch the people on the other side. In April of 1986 I was merely 7 years old, but I still remember every detail of the news reporting on Monday 28 April - the day the boots worn by a Swedish nuclear engineer at the Forsmark Nuclear Power Plant arriving to work in the morning set of the radiation alarm, leading to the reveal and after intense diplomatic pressure been put on the Krml administration, finally - at 9 pm that evening, an admittance was released in Soviet news media there had been a major nuclear disaster at the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant in Ukraine (then part of the Soviet Union). In and of itself a significant event, but the reason I'm mentioning here is its pivotal role in loosening up the iron curtain between the east and the west, and subsequently ending 46 years of cold war, by providing much needed fuel to the adherence, by the Soviet government, to the 1985 reforms put in place by then Soviet leader Michail Gorbachev and named Glasnost, which - among other things - allowed for a more open, and honest, communication between the two blocks. *And* - even more importantly - open and honest communication from the Soviet government towards its citizens, and citizens insight into governmental affairs. All of which the fall of the oppressive Soviet dictatorship wouldn't been possible. Gorbachev himself in April 2006, wrote: "The nuclear meltdown at Chernobyl 20 years ago this month, even more than my launch of perestroika, was perhaps the real cause of the collapse of the Soviet Union." At the end of 1991, the final fall of the USSR played out. By then I had already reached the ripe old age of 13. Though its been 31 years since, admittedly it makes my personal memories of the events less remarkable, but it does in no way lessen the events that took place; the effect they had on world politics - and for a very long time in a world that (and this is something I don't think a lot people - certainly not a lot of those born past 1990!) had effectively been in a *constant state of war* since 1914, and lived under the constant threat of literally world ending nuclear war since 1945 - world peace. So where in all this lies the connection with Scorpions, and - particularly - the song Wind of Change? You may or may not already be aware of it, but since I have no way of knowing which one it is, and it's kind of the whole point of it all, I'm going to lay it out as if you didn't already know (meaning: my intention isn't to write on your nose what's already obvious to you. I'm just safeguarding in case you don't as I know many people do not.) Wind of Change, released in 1990, was written by Scorpion - a West Germany rock band - lead singer (but not usually its song writer) Klaus Meine (himself also from West Germany), being inspired by the changing times, the fall of the Berlin Wall, and the air of possible world peace it brought about, while visiting Moscow to play at the Moscow Music Peace Festival held in 1989. This one time festival being the first time - ever! - rock music acts from the west had been invited to perform inside the Soviet Union. Scorpions being one of them. Obviously. Other acts includes Ozzy Osbourne , Bon Jovi, and Mötley Crüe, and a few others. Of course, none of them, except from Klaus Meine and Scorpions, lead to the creation of a masterpiece which such precision to capture the air and the hope filling the hearts of billions of people around the globe at that time, like Wind of Change. To end of, I'd just like to add something that I think would behoove you, and frankly: all of us, to take to heart: The importance of hope, and the feeling of hope for the future, inspired within us by an event, does not loose its importance because of less hopeful events occurring in the future. Instead, it does the opposite of that: it increases their importance. Stay Safe, and Stay Sane Cheers!
@@deviantoutcast The world never changed from hope. My anger stems from the fact that the OP was whining about the cynicism of the youth. Yet his generation (Doesn't matter which) did nothing to prevent the events I am warring about. He has no right to complain or lament, nor do you for that matter. I hope for many things too, but as they say "Sh#T in one hand and wish in the other, and see which one fills up first".
I remember when the Berlin wall fell. I was just a boy. It was announced on the television, and the household fell silent and watched the news footage in disbelief. I was sitting on the floor in front of my mother and father watching, and when I looked back at them, they both had tears in their eyes. When I hear this song I can still summon the emotions we all felt.
Amazing that a band like this who is probably best known for a snarly metal anthem that quite frankly makes you want to hit something or someone like "Rock You Like A Hurricane" could also release a song such as this. The winds of change are certainly in the air for me & my family on the loss of my beloved grandmother.
Helt klart vår musik i nu ca 30 år, är så glad att vi fick vara med, man blir aldrig för gammal för bra must, som vi fick uppleva leva live PS vi är 65 o 67 år och träffades för 35 år sedan och har aldrig varit lyckgare än nu Kram på er
As I sit on my front porch with a hot tea, the autumn breeze winding through the last vestiges of green leaves, the world as we know it falling down around us, I listen to this piece of art & wonder what art, if any, will survive the passages of time to future civilizations... I hope this song makes it💜
I remember as a kid in the passenger seat looking at my dads face fill with joy and happiness and hopeful for the future ahead, a smile would creep across his face and when he’d see me notice it would grow so large like a rising sun. To this day I find this song brings me so much joy ❤️
I follow the Moskva Down to Gorky Park Listening to the wind of change An August summer night Soldiers passing by Listening to the wind of change The world is closing in Did you ever think That we could be so close, like brothers The future's in the air I can feel it everywhere Blowing with the wind of change Take me to the magic of the moment On a glory night Where the children of tomorrow dream away in the wind of change Walking down the street Distant memories Are buried in the past forever I follow the Moskva Down to Gorky Park Listening to the wind of change Take me to the magic of the moment On a glory night Where the children of tomorrow share their dreams With you and me Take me to the magic of the moment On a glory night Where the children of tomorrow dream away in the wind of change The wind of change Blows straight into the face of time Like a stormwind that will ring the freedom bell For peace of mind Let your balalaika sing What my guitar wants to say Take me to the magic of the moment On a glory night Where the children of tomorrow share their dreams With you and me Take me to the magic of the moment On a glory night Where the children of tomorrow dream away in the wind of change
Maybe we are from different countries but music is universal, always has been...
Really iam with you 🖤✨🙏🏻

Perfect song for over here in the U.S. right now!
Absolutamente! maravillosa cancion
This song reminds me of my sister. 11/5/1966-12/20/2019 R.I.P.
In the 90's she went to a Scorpions concert in California and this was her favorite song. A few months later I came to the states and she was telling me all about it. I could picture her all happy during the concert. I was 13, now I am 42. It has been a year since she has been gone and i miss her so much.
Sorry man
thinking of you petal big hug sent your way xxx
U clearly remember the date! Sorry for your loss. I can tell how special this song id to u and her! Have a nice day mate! ♥️
RIP your sister

Thoms is a Crriminal
I’m here in memory of my mum’s passing on 4th May 2022 because this is the song she requested for and I played it endless times during her last stage of life. Those period were tough but thanks to this song, it has given mum more calmness and strength while battling pancreatic cancer. I miss my mum Jane❤️
I am so sorry for your loss, it was the same with my mom 4 years ago .
Rest in Paradise, Jane. This is a heart wrenching, yet beautiful story - the strength it takes to talk about these things is intense. Thank you for feeling you could share here ~ it's appreciated, respected, and a lovely tribut to your mum
@@taniapaolagonzalez7574 It's beautiful of you to extend your understanding and experience like this. I'm sorry for your loss as well. Thank you for the support you provided here - super refreshing to see online
My moms name was Janie, she passed 9/29/21. I feel your pain. May she Rest In Peace.
i am so sorry 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
This played at my moms funeral. I sang it. I cried during it, but it was definitely worth it. I love you and miss you mom. Rest In Peace beautiful soul. You will forever be missed.
❤️🙏🏻
TO: Cookie Monster, This is one of , if not, my favorite song. My Mother just passed away last March, so when you said you sang it at your Mother's funeral I think that was an absolutely beautiful thing to do. Although the song is about the Cold War, we all interpret songs differently. Would you record yourself singing the song, I'd really like to hear you sing it. One thing I know for sure...your Mother heard you singing this song and was looking down with a smile. There ARE SUCH THING AS SPIRITS. We just do not have the technology right now to prove it...but we are getting there..if you've seen Ghost Adventures before you'll see some of the new equipment they have to detect a Spirits presence. I believe in it very much and I don't know how long it will take...I don't think we will see it in our lifetime, and our grandchildren won't see it either but after that I believe someone will be the first person to actually see and speak with a Spirit. A Spirit can never die. As long as you speak their name, they are never really gone. Remember that. God Bless you and ALWAYS REMEMBER YOUR MOTHER AND MY MOTHER CAN SEE US BOTH.....IF YOUD EVER LIKE TO TALK IM HERE..... IT WOULD BE NICE TO TALK AND HELP EACH OTHER COPE...I DONT THINK THIS LETS YOU ENTER EMAIL ADDRESSES SO ILL WRITE IT LIKE THIS....EMAIL ME AT Pats128124 at A O L dot com. -AL
Sorry for your loss she will always be with you and I'm sure she is proud of your personality.
@@alaustin6416 I am SO sorry for your loss, and you are right, I beleive you.

this song was written during the end of the cold war... never thought I'd listen to it while it breaks out again.
Funny you say that. Reading the news just drew me to this song.

Россия! Вы столько раз противостояли тиранам.
Вы освободились из лап королей, вы бросили вызов любому вторжению!
Разорвите кандалы, надетые на вас Путиным, и боритесь за свободу, о которой вы давно мечтали!
Exactamente, y desde ese momento se empieza a gestar lo que se vive en el ahora.
Read the history my friend.
Same here.
my spanish teacher started playing this song out of NO WHERE and i honestly wanted to just break down crying bc it reminds me so much of my dad. Hes not dead i just love him allot
I wish my dad loved this song too but sadly his and my taste of music doesn't matches at all you're so lucky. Hope so God always blesses you and your father ❤️❤️
Good for you, im glad you have a great father :)
This is the most wholesome thing I have read in a long time ❤

"Take me to the magic of the moment on a glory night" - such a beautiful chorus.
No one ever has it will write lyrics like this... timeless.... stays in one’s mind......🎸🎶🤟that’s priceless.. after reading it again what u wrote.❤️☮️
My opinion is the same as yours
My father usually whistles this song while fixing the car. He served as a peacekeeper in Lebanon back in the 1992. I was born in Israel and we are all from Finland. When his service ended, we moved to Finland. Thanks for having us 💙🤍💙🤍
Thanks for sharing such nostalgic story
I live in Finland too
Awesome
✌🏽❤️
Your father is a good man. May we all be like him and work for peace everywhere
This is one of the most beautiful ballads I have ever heard...from so many years ago. Older than most who write about it! I truly don't understand how anyone can hate it..it's about hope, it's about love and freedom, that so many take for granted. There will always be poverty, there will always be despair, however without hope or a chance for change for the wellbeing of common good and happiness life truly has no meaning. We all want better for our loved ones that survive us...for Gods sake give them the opportunity to do so! I bet since the release of this song many have done just that!
I think only people who fear communists - REALLY MUCH - would hate on this song... Also it´s my Birth-song, so I can´t hate in it!!! ; ) I was born on an August summer night that year the wall fell, that year they say they were inspired to write the lyrics for this song... Because they were in Moscow that summer! Later on they would be the first western band to play in Moscow, from what I´ve read... I don´t remember what year, but it was probably in the very early 90s..

The fall of the Soviet Union marked one of the darkest times for its former states. Industry was gutted, everything was sold off and stolen, and people were left jobless, without food, and without hope. This song spits on that loss. Listen to children’s dreams? what dreams were to be had? their futures were stolen from them and it is still never the same again.
About 20yrs ago I was riding down the road with my older brother..This song came on and just as the part "Like brothers" was sang he turned to me and grabbed my hand and told me he loved me..the one and only time he's ever said he loved me..I'll never forget that moment as long as I live..There is no stronger bond than that of two brothers!...From my heart to yours bro...I'll never forget you JG!
Mantap
This feels more like a gay type ...Seriously your brother did that?...My brother steal my car key from my room and drove away with his friend and the moment I came out to catch them ...He Said from the car window pane 'Thank you,'I love you brother' and Drift away like a wind...and even though i'm angry ..I smile in inside and Said Safe journey ..

Talvez não era lá na Rússia.

This used to be my and my dads song when I was little, I couldn't go to sleep without listening to this song. It really means a lot to me. As I grew older I kinda forgot of this song, because I never heard it in a while. As I was watching the interview, I heard this song and searched it on RUclips right away, started crying, now ever time I put this song on, I cry.
We are always waiting for the wind of change. Hope never ends. God bless you

It’s so amazing how Music can become so transcendental!
It gives me nostalgia, feels I’m there at that time but in the conflicts of today!
It’s hard to explain! Strange to feel!
Takes me back to Germany when it first came out
I keep wondering , that we as humans don’t learn from the history , and instead we are trying to delete it like it didn’t happen,
It’s hurtful but the only way we can live better is understanding our past to live our present the most so we can build a better future

Lost my best friend in 2010 and remember being in high school. We sat on a hill talking like young men do. We sat and sang that song. Said wonder what life holds for us. Now watch our kids grow. Much to ponder
Lost my friend just 2 weeks ago. She loved that song too.

This song reminds me of my dad. I used to love this song because back to the days when i was a child, my dad used to always hear this song when we used to have family trips, but then years passed by, we had family issues and my dad has completely forgotten about me and now i hate this song because it reminds me of him and i know he still hears this song so, dad if you see this comment, i love you even though you don't care about me anymore because i do care about you.

I miss songs like these. Makes me remember of better times when most music was actually good.
Damn right!!
Being a 2000s kid i always dream of being born in 1970 or something, but when you think about it, the past has many imperfections. Wars, war threats, other not so good things. Sure, the wars end, but its not jsut peace, love and plants after that. Nuclear war with Russia was an angry idiot away. So while I don't adore these times, how much better would the past have been?
@@ThatCubicGuy You are right bro, I am also a 2000s boy, modern songs are loud but hollow
You said it all, man.
Music was music
We need always such beautiful songs of hope. Dont stop to believe in the good and forth your faith. Thanks to this songwriter who has this faith.
This song has so much meaning. I grew up during the cold War. Now I see the world plummeting right back to the 50s through the late 80s. We almost had it. Pray for the children.
We never had it, the world became worse in every way right after the USSR has collapsed, freedom and everything good has died the night it happened.
Theres no absolute control and this war will never end until u cut the head of the snake. Argue all u want but thats a fact
I agree! We will get there soon, I truly believe. We have some hope now 🇺🇸
I tear up everytime I hear this song. It's almost like a song that's begging the world to realize what it's doing to itself. I know there will never be peace on earth but at least this song gives you a little hope. Damn, this song is powerful when you really listen to the lyrics and equate it to the world.
yes, we had a couple of decades of hope and love....then the haters came out of hiding, to destroy the love that was trying to blossom like flowers, of the flower children's children....now we have hate growing...its time for the younger ppl to show hate the door.... Love is the answer .
We are asked by mainstream medias to hate the enemy again like WWI, but I won’t, I’ll hate the ones that really spread hate, these liars
Hope this hope isn’t just hope
Im so glad for this comment it put exactly how i feel about this song without having to explain ❤
I feel the same way unfortunately it seems peace is less and less possible, this song is making me cry thinking about all the brave Ukrainians fighting for their freedom
This song is beautiful and relevant to modern times in Ukraine, I wish we could all be like brothers and stop senseless war and violence.
***** I wish the only leader was the people
+Sora Trubey I think you're entitled to you opinion like all humans, but I also think you're wrong. All of us on Earth are brothers and sisters and the people of the Ukraine should have the same rights as anybody anywhere.
1991 certainly was a more hopeful time.
CeNTuRiOn33100 Ditto.
i just wish we can make a better place for those yet to come
I will always love the Scorpions. I remember when winds of change came out. It will always be an Anthem of hope ❤
The song is about the Berlin wall being torn down, the unification of Germany, the end of Communism, the hope of positve changes for the countries of the eastern block. It's unfortunate that so many issues are currently going on
@Syed Faisal Shaji Wrong pal..It was because of a Polish Pope that caused the wall to come down eventually.
Yes like Venezuela now
Tricia Finn Communism is alive and well in California! Soon the migrant caravan will vote to get rid of the bill of rights and the constitution.
I always thought this song was not legitimately about love
Communism is better than capitalism
I heard this song yesterday and I think it might be my new favorite song of all time. No matter what. Where we're from or what we're doing or who we are this song brings hope for people who think there is no more. We need to stick TOGETHER. God bless!
5 years ago I was in Moscow and found myself in Gorky Park. My tour guide hooked me up with joint and this song popped in my mind. I definitely was on the scenic route while jamming to this song on repeat for an hour straight. Amazing song and a beautiful park

Hi
Welcome back...
I watched TV endlessly as the wall came down and the Soviet Union fell apart, but I don't think the full emotional impact hit me until this song came out -- and it hits me all over again every time I hear it. It's the perfect soundtrack for a time of momentous historical events.
Long live the revolution death to capitalism socialists on the rise 📈🏁📈🏁📈🏁📈🏁 capitalists on the DECLINE 🏳📉🏳📉🏳📉🏳📉
@@theeliacefrankshow7425 No thanks. You better go living to Venezuela like a true socialist and seek some food in the thrash... TO LIVE
I was in the Army when the wall came down. This song makes me think back to those days. I remember thinking, "That's it. The Cold War is over and we didn't blow each other up."
Dude what are you talking about? The wall came down in 89. This song about Soviet union came out years before 89. This was just appropriately used as the anthem for the wall.
@@sunsetarts yeah the cold war continued into the 90s. The wall came down in 89 it was the end of the nuclear arms race and the final end of wwii. How did you not know cold war was still going.
Woke up this morning with this song in my head. Take it as a good sign that change is coming. ❤
This will be a very good song for when covid ends
Covid is part of the wind my friend. Follow whatever breeze you fancy!
The covid will never end, thanks to mankind.
If it ends
Had this thoughts. Maybe we wait for a wind of change...
@RARES ADRIAN CIOCAN - so as long as people buy into it. An having the Bait an switch game going down in the wind of change will in the end be for your freedoms that you are willing to give up as a healthy living human being who can choose whatever he or she wants
Awesome.
First song in English which I could sing and didn't use translator because I understood everything,
!¡chingon!¡
Robert Wonderful:)
What a wonderful song, isn't it?
finding all these old songs from youtube. makes me almost cry
I love it when I remember a song that I haven't heard in ages. Just like this one. I live just listening to it again.
Joonasvarp that's because the music strikes you to your soul!
This song is a literal masterpiece.! Everything about the construction of this song is genius.!
This song reminds me of Germany. I was stationed in Weisbaden. Me and my friends drove out to East Germany and watched the wall come down. Brought a tear to my eyes.
Nice story
My father saw it go down live too
I'm from Germany, my parents where young when the wall was defeated. It was a peaceful revolution. I have a family history of war and death. My granddads dad was in the army during WW2 his brother was a terrorist fighting against the Nazi Regime. War destroys familys, fashism of any kind destroys familys. Right now Germany is not the Germany I used to grow up in. People who are sick or handicapped, who can't wear a mask because that is a threat to them are getting yelled at. People are angry at those they claim to protect because they can't wear a mask. Familys split up over those issues once more. We are getting robbed of our constitutional rights. It hurts so much to see Germany change. I always felt save here, now because I have questions about how our government is handling the crisis I have to be scared every time I leave my house. I'm scared for my mum who has a chronic illness threatened not only by a virus she can't protect herself from with a mask but also because of how she gets treated.
This song makes me cry cause it feels like our country gets robbed of all freedom and peace we have build over the last 70 Years.
I want my live back, I want the country back I grew up in. I can't handle the hate anymore
There was so much hope and love going around in the 90s. Where did it all go?
It blew away in the winds...of change.
I just wish I was born in the 90s and not in 2001
Ame Escamila Well, if wishes were fishes...
Don't worry about it. If there's one thing you should take from this song, it's that the winds of change are always blowing.
stay young forever ppl
Brian Hicks not with my brothers in the fmr yougoslovia... with us bombing them didnt help...
Stepped outside today and this song popped into my head ..had to give it a full listen. Always loved this song
This song after many years attracted the attention of the crowd by the brilliance of conversation and wonderful music.
I miss the old days ;-; so many memories, this song reminded me all of them ;-;
I closed my eyes when I listened to this..
This is what I felt: A wind breeze through my body, the whistling of the song kept me calm, the voice of the singer made me conscious in the moment, the words didnt make any sense but they kept me concentrated. All I kept focusing on was the strongest emotion that I felt from the begging of the song..which was hope. I felt hope about my own life, that when I was ready to open my eyes again, I would be another person, in another place, far from anything that I could imagine. That when I was ready to rejoin reality, It was going to be a new dimension....
Anyways, thats what I felt..
So, have YOU opened your eyes yet?
thats how feel too knowing waht the songs means!
Abbe
All I feel are goosebumps
Yes, indeed, I was on the streets of Moscow on August night, 1991. The hope is alive and hoping for more positive change, so people of all background could live in peace, harmony......
Abbe

Listening today February 11, 2024 while it’s playing in the background of the movie I.S.S, this song was played a lot back in early 90’s, the meaning of the words just gives me tears, life was so simpler back then, no wars, no mass shooting, no cartels, no human trafficking, everyone got along, nostalgia just hits me, breaks my heart today the world we live in. 😢 Thank you to the Scorpions for making a masterpiece of a song.
Are you just being silly? Their were wars going on during the 90s and the cartels were arguably st their peak during the 90s (hello zetas??) Human trafficking has been around since the dawn of time.
You mean the song written as a protest of the Cold War and Soviet control of the Western Berlin was simpler?
Can’t get enough with this masterpiece, never for a lasts….
Thx Scorpions
probably one of the best songs ever created :)
Yes this is true :D
akarmide yup, I agree. Quality 80s/90s Rock
I would say the most meaningful. First we'll take every major rock band's best song (In my opinion of course). Running up for the Beatles we have: Hey Jude. Pink Floyd submits: Brain Damage/Eclipse. Blue Oyster Cult bets their money on Don't Fear The Reaper. Rolling Stones is all for their Sympathy For The Devil. Led Zeppelin is taking the Stairway To Heaven. I have to say this song compares with these songs pretty well. GG scorpions.
U can be sure bro
CIA sure knows how to make great songs
For a solid month before Covid hit the states, this song just seemed like it was everywhere. I'd turn on the classic station, playing. Load up Pandora, this song played. RUclips? Queued in my playlist. "The wind of change blows straight, into the face of time."
I do respect all the legend that are still listing this banger.
Since childhood, here in Brazil, I listen to this song. One of the best songs I've heard to date in 2019.
After learning the true story on why this song was written by watching a documentary in history class, I never knew it was about the Soviet Union and Communism. This song was made to celebrate the destroying of the Berlin Wall. It made me feel very grateful on what I have today.
The Soviet Union’s illegal dissolution against the will of the people brought starvation, disease, destruction, and lead to desperation. Schools were abandoned, industries destroyed. Hope was lost on that day, and has never truly returned. Do not be grateful for what you have, be enraged for those who had it all stolen from them. Those who didn’t have a choice, no opportunity.
The first time I heard this song was the last sunday of 2019. I was thirteen, and my family and I were driving back from church and we heard this song, and my mom said that it was a popular song in her senior year. I liked that song, and it was in my head the rest of the day. I was at the Seahawks game later that day, where they were battling the Niners for the division. It was my first time going to an NFL game, and I'm a die hard Seahawks fan. We lost on the one yard line (with a missed pass interference call the play earlier). But that song became one of my favorites
What a meaningful song! I am of love with this song, the scorpion chorus is always incredible and effective, their performance is beyond comparison.💗💗💗💗
This was my dad favorite song. I miss him as hell so much😭
Sorry Bro😢😭
😪😪😪😪😪
Such a sweet, peaceful, and emotional song especially with all that is happening in our world today due to this terrible pandemic. The only good thing I discovered through this difficult time to be a better person and enjoy life with the little or few that you have. Life is what really matters,family,friends, and helping others. This song makes me realize how beautiful life can be it’s what you put in that will bring happiness and a ☻ on your face. To all of you guys out there stay safe and 🤗 and 😘
this is my mother’s ringtone. perhaps her favourite song at that moment. i am scared of losing her anytime sooner or later. everyone does. we can just reminisce the people we love through the things that remind us of them. i am scared knowing that when i grow up whether she is still there or not, listening to this song will remind me of her then i’ll be cry a river
This song was constantly in my head last night while I was trying to sleep. Who else can feel the wind of change in the air for 2024 and beyond

+Epikdude70 good music can still be found despite the machine but it is more difficult and you must be active about your seeking in a way that you did not have to be before the music industry became corporate and so much music we heard was indie.

Legends go down in history
Merica always wins. Even with music from the 80's/90's.
Incredibly fresh as many many years before!
Beautiful song
About the end of the Cold War
The unification of Germany
The end of the then known Communism . . .
The future is in the air
I can feel it everywhere
August summer night
Soldiers passing by
Listening to the wind of change .
You almost got it right.
Wind of Change is about the collapse of the USSR, the old Soviet Union, in 1989/90, not really about the reunification of East and West Germany.
The "Moscva" is the Moscow River.
Gorky Park is a 300-acre year-round amusement park just outside Moscow.
Gregory Russell no Wind of Change means the Revolutions of 1989
Filimon Galogavros watched every minute. Thought it would change more but I have never been to Germany.
The end of communism spelled the destruction and theft of the soviet people. Their hope, their future, their jobs, education, food, wealth. It is not hopeful, it is devastating.
I'm usually not too into music like this, but for some reason I can't help but love this song!
+HorseyGirl500 The first time I heard this song, I only like the whistling because it made me feel nostalgic. The entire song eventually grew on me over time
girl this song is so awesome even people who doesn't like this type of music loves it lol
+HorseyGirl500 Hey, when i heard the song before 6 years I started love it cuz the music is good, no metter if u are yonger or old or u do not like the style of music..
Genre or style of music doesnt matter. All that matters is how the song sounds to u
This is an incredibly beautiful and powerful song on so many levels. If is feels meaningful to you, look into it's history and meaning, culture, etc. This came about during an amazing period of world history. I love it.
this was my dads favorite song I remember going with him and my brother an sister to the beach on the highway listening to this song Loud in his truck having a good time good memories with him I wish I can go back to those times he passed away 10 yrs ago miss u dad 😥
really sorry :,(
Aaww.. Don´t we all wish we could go back to a much more simple time in our lives?! #Childhood #Innocence
Israel Jimenez Your story reminds me of when I was growing up in the early 90s my dad used to listen to a lot of Pink Floyd in his old 1969 Ford truck and those were fun times. My dad is still alive but my mom has been gone for almost 4 years now. I am sending you hugs
Israel Jimenez Your story reminds me of my life now
awesome song means well
My uncle just passed away today. So I decided to play his favourite song. When I was a kid I used to sleepover at my grandmother's house a lot. So whenever it's morning I always wake up to the whistling. From there I learned that a genre called rock and metal exists. Without him I wouldn't have found an amazing band like Metallica, Megadeath, Black Sabbath, Judas Priest, Killswitch Engage and there are so many more. Rock forever
This brings me memories of my brothers when I was about 10 in the late 90s and they were teenagers and everything was okay. The good ole days.

It seems that you like it for the same reasons like me :) legendary part of lyrics...
To folks too young to have known what it was like, who’ve grown up in a much more cynical world, or who’ve forgotten it, this is what it felt when decency and brotherhood triumphed.
Your comment brought a tear to my eye. Merry Christmas 12/24/21
Tell me, was there a single ray of light before rome fell? The wind of change is sometimes a gentle breeze, sometimes a stout wind. I say to you, a dark and terrible maelstrom comes this way, there is no light in it, it will wash over the globe like hurricane rain.
A new dark age is coming, the only hope we have is that we'll not live to see our children suffer through it. I would speak further, were was your "Brotherhood" when the Balkans fell? were was your "Decency" when Rhodesia died, what aid did you give to the millions that died in the second half of the twentieth century?
Your generation was blessed with prosperity, but you waxed fat and became lethargic, apathetic, while your leaders did the opposite and stuck their noses in all the wrong places. Instead of where they should have.
Yes, we are cynical, but it was born of prescience, not nihilism.

I had just turned 11 when the Berlin wall fell in 1989 and I can tell you: I have the images of those people, people who hadn't seen their friends and family members on the other side of that fucking wall since 1961 - 28 years! - and were now going at it with hammers and crowbars and stuff they found on the ground, hacking it pieces, climbing on top of it, reaching out to touch the people on the other side.
In April of 1986 I was merely 7 years old, but I still remember every detail of the news reporting on Monday 28 April - the day the boots worn by a Swedish nuclear engineer at the Forsmark Nuclear Power Plant arriving to work in the morning set of the radiation alarm, leading to the reveal and after intense diplomatic pressure been put on the Krml administration, finally - at 9 pm that evening, an admittance was released in Soviet news media there had been a major nuclear disaster at the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant in Ukraine (then part of the Soviet Union). In and of itself a significant event, but the reason I'm mentioning here is its pivotal role in loosening up the iron curtain between the east and the west, and subsequently ending 46 years of cold war, by providing much needed fuel to the adherence, by the Soviet government, to the 1985 reforms put in place by then Soviet leader Michail Gorbachev and named Glasnost, which - among other things - allowed for a more open, and honest, communication between the two blocks. *And* - even more importantly - open and honest communication from the Soviet government towards its citizens, and citizens insight into governmental affairs. All of which the fall of the oppressive Soviet dictatorship wouldn't been possible. Gorbachev himself in April 2006, wrote: "The nuclear meltdown at Chernobyl 20 years ago this month, even more than my launch of perestroika, was perhaps the real cause of the collapse of the Soviet Union."
At the end of 1991, the final fall of the USSR played out. By then I had already reached the ripe old age of 13. Though its been 31 years since, admittedly it makes my personal memories of the events less remarkable, but it does in no way lessen the events that took place; the effect they had on world politics - and for a very long time in a world that (and this is something I don't think a lot people - certainly not a lot of those born past 1990!) had effectively been in a *constant state of war* since 1914, and lived under the constant threat of literally world ending nuclear war since 1945 - world peace.
So where in all this lies the connection with Scorpions, and - particularly - the song Wind of Change? You may or may not already be aware of it, but since I have no way of knowing which one it is, and it's kind of the whole point of it all, I'm going to lay it out as if you didn't already know (meaning: my intention isn't to write on your nose what's already obvious to you. I'm just safeguarding in case you don't as I know many people do not.)
Wind of Change, released in 1990, was written by Scorpion - a West Germany rock band - lead singer (but not usually its song writer) Klaus Meine (himself also from West Germany), being inspired by the changing times, the fall of the Berlin Wall, and the air of possible world peace it brought about, while visiting Moscow to play at the Moscow Music Peace Festival held in 1989. This one time festival being the first time - ever! - rock music acts from the west had been invited to perform inside the Soviet Union. Scorpions being one of them. Obviously. Other acts includes Ozzy Osbourne , Bon Jovi, and Mötley Crüe, and a few others. Of course, none of them, except from Klaus Meine and Scorpions, lead to the creation of a masterpiece which such precision to capture the air and the hope filling the hearts of billions of people around the globe at that time, like Wind of Change.
To end of, I'd just like to add something that I think would behoove you, and frankly: all of us, to take to heart:
The importance of hope, and the feeling of hope for the future, inspired within us by an event, does not loose its importance because of less hopeful events occurring in the future. Instead, it does the opposite of that: it increases their importance.
Stay Safe, and Stay Sane
Cheers!
@@deviantoutcast The world never changed from hope. My anger stems from the fact that the OP was whining about the cynicism of the youth. Yet his generation (Doesn't matter which) did nothing to prevent the events I am warring about. He has no right to complain or lament, nor do you for that matter.
I hope for many things too, but as they say "Sh#T in one hand and wish in the other, and see which one fills up first".
Life in post Soviet countries was terrible dude
I remember when the Berlin wall fell. I was just a boy. It was announced on the television, and the household fell silent and watched the news footage in disbelief. I was sitting on the floor in front of my mother and father watching, and when I looked back at them, they both had tears in their eyes. When I hear this song I can still summon the emotions we all felt.
Me same. I can still remember all the joy, hope and dreams. Unfortunately it went all straight to hell. Bugger.
Still loving it now.Can repeat it like 5 times when in my car.I really love it.
It just never ever gets old....LOVE this song
02/22/2021 - just discovered this song.... Still relevant and what a pretty, catchy tune with a wonderful message!
I recommend you to listen to other scorpions songs. They have many gems to discover
Funny fact now is 02/22/2022 😅
Song needs to be played in schools
absolutely old but gold
Amazing that a band like this who is probably best known for a snarly metal anthem that quite frankly makes you want to hit something or someone like "Rock You Like A Hurricane" could also release a song such as this. The winds of change are certainly in the air for me & my family on the loss of my beloved grandmother.
My thoughts are with you. I lost my step father November 11, 2013. It's been a major adjustment for me.
Tell me about it! You're not kidding!
Rock You Like A Hurricane is amazing what are you talking about?
TheVideoGameMontage Simply that The Scorpions were diverse that way.
Oh I'm sorry I misinterpreted the comment
This song is just too amazing!! His voice and that whistle make me have goosebumps...
Helt klart vår musik i nu ca 30 år, är så glad att vi fick vara med, man blir aldrig för gammal för bra must, som vi fick uppleva leva live
PS vi är 65 o 67 år och träffades för 35 år sedan och har aldrig varit lyckgare än nu
Kram på er
As I sit on my front porch with a hot tea, the autumn breeze winding through the last vestiges of green leaves, the world as we know it falling down around us, I listen to this piece of art & wonder what art, if any, will survive the passages of time to future civilizations... I hope this song makes it💜
It will
My father always play this song when i was child :’) what a memory
I remember as a kid in the passenger seat looking at my dads face fill with joy and happiness and hopeful for the future ahead, a smile would creep across his face and when he’d see me notice it would grow so large like a rising sun. To this day I find this song brings me so much joy ❤️
One of the best memories of my dad.. Listening to this in the car on weekends to go visit him..
Hello from 2021, Turkey. This song represents my high school days🕊 now i am 24, but still i listen ❤️
Just went back to old days, was in my twenties, time went fast, miss my friends.
Trust me they all miss you too!
When songs were about hope and love, not just narcissistic wants and needs.
Such songs are actually awesome.
@@arghyadas6978 Stop being such a boomer, shitty music existed back in those days too
@@topiash5437 You're so cool! You called someone a boomer! You definitely fit in with the cool crowd ;) Good for you
@@jacobcarrico1999 Well guess what bucko, you're a boomer too
@@topiash5437 Thanks man
How awesome this band. And where have I been all this time?
I follow the Moskva
Down to Gorky Park
Listening to the wind of change
An August summer night
Soldiers passing by
Listening to the wind of change
The world is closing in
Did you ever think
That we could be so close, like brothers
The future's in the air
I can feel it everywhere
Blowing with the wind of change
Take me to the magic of the moment
On a glory night
Where the children of tomorrow dream away
in the wind of change
Walking down the street
Distant memories
Are buried in the past forever
I follow the Moskva
Down to Gorky Park
Listening to the wind of change
Take me to the magic of the moment
On a glory night
Where the children of tomorrow share their dreams
With you and me
Take me to the magic of the moment
On a glory night
Where the children of tomorrow dream away
in the wind of change
The wind of change
Blows straight into the face of time
Like a stormwind that will ring the freedom bell
For peace of mind
Let your balalaika sing
What my guitar wants to say
Take me to the magic of the moment
On a glory night
Where the children of tomorrow share their dreams
With you and me
Take me to the magic of the moment
On a glory night
Where the children of tomorrow dream away
in the wind of change
