I heard this song for the first time on the in-flight entertainment system on the way home from my first of many trips to Russia. I had tears streaming down my face. It was 1990 and I had literally just walked down to Gorky Park myself. I experience the wind of change on that trip, talking to many folks and falling in love with the Russian people. It was a hopeful time and really beautiful to meet and interact with wonderful people after being cut off from each other for so many decades. I am profoundly saddened that the promise of that time has become so tainted with disappointment in the years since. I am also saddened that so many here in the west are hating on the Russian people when it is their current government that is so onerous, not them. Russian people, just like most of the people I met in the 34 countries I made it to during my years of extensive travel, want basically the same things we do: for their children to be safe and grow up to a good life, to have food and shelter, to be able to spend time enjoying family and friends, to have a purposeful existence and to have peace in their country. Please don't hate on people when it's their government that tends to mess things up. We should know.

I am Indian. My wife is East German, having grown up behind The Wall. I remember watching, in America, that fateful day in Nov 89 as the wall came down. 13 years before I met her. Our love was sparked by the music of the Scorpions. 2 children, and a lifetime later, we are in a different place, but those times will live with me forever.

1983 was a scary year to be an American teenager (I'm 56 now), and when 1989 came, I was completely baffled. What just happened??? We went from being on the edge of nuclear annihilation to a reunified Germany? It seemed so sudden. It took a long time to sink in for me. I had German friends telling me in 1987 that there were plans to reunify Germany, and they thought it would be happening soon. I blew it off. Impossible! We couldn't even get Mr. Gorbachev to tear down that wall. How could Germany reunify? My head was spinning. Poland really started things, but then everywhere else it happened so fast, one nation after another, then suddenly there was not only a reunified Germany, but no more Soviet Union? Russia was a democracy??? Jesus Jones and Scorpions gave me something to hold onto. It was so powerful I cried with joy when I heard those songs, especially Wind of Change, because Scorpions were Germans, living that dream firsthand. Jesus Jones was like me, an observer looking on in wonder. In the 80s, the Cold War wasn't an event, it was just reality. It was how things were and would always be, I thought. The end of the Cold War and the reunification of Germany are proof that anything is possible, absolutely anything, if we really want to make it happen, and with a little luck.

Klaus Meine is in perfect key here, it's good to see that ha can still sing in the right key for these special Orchestral performances. Always good to hear, a lot of bands go lower and lower lower. Others just stay high and fade away quicker than others. The Scorpions have gone lower on occasions but it's good to see that Klaus' lungs can still handle the odd battering hehehe.

Yes, there has never been a more significant and relevant song that expresses the contemporary social and political change in the world more than this song: Gorbachev's Perestroika Glasnost, the fall of the Berlin Wall, the Unification of two German nations, the end of the cold war. Yes, One day, we will sing this song to our grandchildren and tell them that we are the generations that had witness this all and lived to tell the tale.

I think this song went down in the history of Germany when the wall came down. There was hardly a song in the world that was played so often and where you could see many, many people crying. It was actually an unforgettable time for all of us with politicians who were still THOUGHTING what one cannot say about many of today's politicians, if they can even think.
