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❤️

    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.

      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

    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!

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..

    Lots of comments about this being a “dad” song. This song came out after the fall of the berlin wall. It was the time of perestroika and the end of the cold war. Change had come; There was an air of hopeful expectancy and for a while it looked like the soviet union would do great things with its new possibilities. That didnt happen of course. The mob gained new power in russia and war and power struggles ensued as they usually do in a power vacuum.
    At the time i was still young enough to think that better things were possible. This song takes me back to that time in life. And as a dad of many years, yes, it speaks to the hopes that all parents have for a better future for their children.

    I'm grateful for this song. For all songs written in (/around/regarding) wartimes.. it's astonishing to know so many have dreamed of peace, positive change, etc., and expressed it on a World Stage level through music throughout the decades. To know how many of us have listened and yearned for the same. How (unfortunately) Universal these messages are. However, to this day, we have our youngest generation creating their own music, saying the exact same words - pleading with the world, to listen, to change. The world stage and messages of music seems to be nothing compared to the world stage of "Leaders". I'm haunted by this. Yet, always grateful for these artists and these undying messages

      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 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..

    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.

    This song holds special meaning for me. I served in the U.S. Army from 1987-1995. At the time, the cold war was in full swing and we were certain that someday the U.S.S.R. was going to invade the rest of Europe. My unit's area of assigned operations was Fulda Gap. In a Pentagon assessment, it was determined that in the event of a full on Soviet mobilization through Fulda Gap, my Brigade would have been obliterated in approximately ten minutes. This was the reality we faced. I'm sure the Soviets though N.A.T.O. was going to invade the Soviet Union. Nobody wanted it to happen, but everyone thought that eventually it would happen. The 1991 collapse of the Soviet Union brought a sigh of relief, but the overall instability of the region was concerning. I would love to hear from an old Soviet soldier from my timeframe. We would have a lot to talk about.

      I think that won't help much. At that time, the USSR was just finishing its conflict in Afghanistan. This affair had nothing to do with us, and in any case, it was another senseless war that no one wanted to have anything to do with, not to mention that NATO and China were indirectly involved in increasing the number of casualties on our side. At that time a lot of men between 20 and 40 were afraid of being forcibly mobilized. I was six back then in 1989 when the conflict ended, so I don't remember a thing of course.
      But I remember a lot of vets that I've met later, during my school and university days. I cannot say that those people were pleasant. Those who fought there returned traumatized and had no meaning in life. This war, was not a matter of honor as WW2 was, so not many people celebrated their return. When I was 21-22 years old, around 2005, I went to martial arts training, and my instructor was a former soldier in that conflict. He is a huge Russian with enormous strength and bulky hands. He was reluctant to talk about the conflict and only regretted that a lot of his former comrades became addicts. He, nevertheless, managed to overcome his after-war trauma and used his energy for positive goals. He managed to stay cheerful and confident despite all the odds.
      The celebration of Airborne Forces Day was considered a dangerous day in all former Soviet Republics for twenty years or so. Many former soldiers who took part in the Afghanistan conflict got drunk and bullied civilians. Even the police forces were afraid of these people. I guess it was their way of taking revenge on others for not experiencing what they had.
