This was a beautiful positive song about the fall of the Berlin wall and USSR. Scorpions are a West German band that wore about what was going on in their country.

I'm getting older and remember the moment. It still gives me chills, it was a very important historic anthem. It wasn't sad, it was hopeful. Soldiers did stand down. It was the end of the cold war and a united Germany.

[@AnthonyLaMastra]

I was in high school when the Berlin Wall which divided East & West Germany since WWII was torn down. Families that had been separated for many years were finally reunited. It was a major step in the Cold War finally ending.

[@TexasMagnolia]

Such an emotional song…especially now, again.

[@evilvolts]

This song was about Hope they were singing about the Berlin Wall coming down after seperating Germany for 30 years from the 60's till the 90's Scorpions are a German band and half families were seperated when those walls went up on one side there was freedom and on the other side communism. when the walls came down they all celebrated as the Scorpions put it the Wind of Change.

Came across your reaction video today and because you came up with the Berlin Wall I am subscribing. I've seen many of these and you are the only one. Also, I enjoyed watching with you!

The song took formation in August 89 (Moscow music peace festival) when hard rock bands from the "west" were allowed for the 1st time to play with thier Russian counterparts at Lennin Stadium. (Gorkey Park is a band from Russia) When they were filming the music video for the song the Berlin wall fell & they included it in the video.

[@kerrythorn8575]

This was an anthem that was used for the end of the cold war, when the Berlin wall fell. Sadly it looks like we are falling right back into the cold war.

[@ericvincent5187]

A song of hope!

[@LgnShorty]

I was 11 when the berlin wall fell. I remember it like it was yesterday. However when I got older I finally started to realize how the impact of it ans then put this song with it. Glad I was alive to see it ..

[@mariannegoldweber1577]

Music has always reflected the time. Researching some of these songs will help you get a better grasp on what they meant when you look at the current events they speak about. It's a beautiful educational history

[@Sherri_Jordan]

I’ve never saw the video nor the song means more to just his awesome voice. Thanks❤️

[@richardhenderson9767]

This song is uplifting... I remember being in high school, when the Berlin Wall came down... It was such a joyous day to have a United Germany... It was also the end of the Cold War with USSR and US... The slow evaporation of the Soviet Union, into Slovak independent countries followed after West Germany was reunited with East Germany.... Ukraine, and many other current European countries were part of the USSR at one time before the Berlin Wall came down... The Soviet Union became just Russia.

[@goosegosnell]

I was at the wall when they tore it down, I have pieces of history

[@jaimechavez2216]

Cool 👏👏👏👏

This song, every time I hear this song, I remember her, and I remember us. I was drinking alone in a dark, smoky rock bar in West Germany. The year was 1990. I was barely 19 years old, the Berlin Wall had been down for just a year, our world was changing, and so was mine; forever. She walked in. Blonde hair in the black light. She looked lost, as if walking in was a mistake, as if she almost didn’t expect to find a bar behind the door. She was looking for something. And so was I. She passed my corner table as she wove her way to the restroom. I caught her glance once, and then again at me as she passed. Her lips never smiled, but her eyes told me otherwise. My God… she was beautiful. She was the kind of beautiful that a girl doesn’t even know that she is, and that just made her even more-so. I wasn’t letting this go. As she came back towards my table, I stood up, smiled, and asked her if she’d like to sit with me. “Thank you, but I need to be alone tonight” was her reply. I leaned in to her ear. She pulled her hair back as if to encourage whatever it was that I had to say. I almost whispered, purposely, to cause her to lean in closer, “I need to be alone tonight as well, so we might as well be alone together”. I finally saw the smile that matched her eyes. She sat down, and I sat down beside her. “Jason”, I offered. “Melanie”, a soft angel responded. I was still swirling from the smell of her hair from just moments ago. Just then, one of the waitresses that knew me by name stopped at our table. She asked Melanie if she’d like a drink, and Melanie looked at me. “Two Jack and Cokes, tall glasses, no straws, crushed ice please”, was my answer. Melanie smiled; I thought I might be in trouble. I hoped I was. The waitress looked at Melanie, Melanie smiled again and said “please”. After very little small talk, the conversations got deeper. Almost as deep as I was into her eyes by that point. I could see her soul, and it was just as beautiful as her face. What those conversations were, are forever for just me and her. Those are just ours. Something we had that the world never will. So don’t ask. Fast-forward several hours, the bar is getting ready to close. I knew the lights would be coming on soon, and I didn’t want this to end. And then this song… this song comes on. Melanie now has her head on my shoulder, the table is sticky with several empty glasses, just melting ice remaining, reminding us both that all things are finite, and that beauty, love, and life is about now, and it is all forever fading away. This song. You need to know what it is about for context. Once you understand that, you’ll better appreciate a teenage American soldier, and an teenage girl that grew up in east Germany holding on to each other. In the middle of this song, Melanie raised her head from my shoulder, looked into my eyes, and said, “I don’t like this world, I want you to take me away”. She kept staring into me, waiting for the answer. I took her by the hand as I stood up, she then stood up and faced me. “Let’s go”, was my answer. She smiled again and hugged me tightly; man… I can still smell her hair as I write this. It was the night before a 4-day weekend, I had a pocket full of German and American cash; God had planned this all out very well. We spent the next 4 days traveling around Germany together. We played in a fountain with children, we danced in the streets, we helped a little girl find her mother, we earned a fine dinner by helping a shopkeeper repair his door, we laughed, we talked, we held hands in silence for hours. For the first time in my young life I saw true beauty in this world. All reflected in her eyes. We went to museums, and we went to raves. We went to beer festivals, and we went to a movie. We were surrounded by millions of people one moment, and in the next we were alone together, making love high atop an old abandoned tower in a rainstorm. That thunder, that lightning, and that hard rain on that tin roof will never be forgotten. And then, the last day came. The guesthouse was quiet that morning. We filled our bags with things we didn’t need, in preparing to leave what we did. The train ride to her little town was a beautiful one. She pointed out things along the way from her childhood. Truth be known, I was staring more at her beautiful face reflecting from the window. There’s that smile to match those eyes. There’s the smell of her hair. The train slowed to a stop. We were there. I cannot remember the name of the town now. But, here 30 years later, I still remember that goodbye. She turned to me with that smile. She kissed me as I still to this day have never been kissed again. But then it ended. Like the melting ice in those glasses a few nights ago. She now had a tear in her eye. She softly said, “please, never forget me”. “I’ll sooner forget my next breath” was my reply. I walked her to the door of the train. She turned one last time, slowly put her little arms around me, and whispered something in German that I’ll never know, except for one of the words; “Liebe”, which I know means “love”. One last kiss, then she turned and stepped onto the platform. I watched her walking away, not looking back. Dear God I wanted her to look back. I returned to my seat. I’d never felt so alone in all my life. The train shuddered and began to move. I looked out the window, but now only seeing my lone reflection in the glass. Then I saw her leaning against the wall of the station. She was looking directly at me, watching me go; wiping away her tears. We’d forgotten to tell our souls to also say goodbye. The train continued on. The reflection in the glass stayed solitary, and blurred by tears. From the pain in my stomach and chest, I’d say that my heart was ripped out and left on that train station platform with her 30 years ago. Writing this made me smile again, and just now writing the ending made me cry again. So, no Melanie, I’ll never forget you. That promise has been kept. I love you too.

Great story and believed to be true. I was in Karlsruhe 83-88

[@JasonSmith-gq4hb]

@@tonynascar3 it was the most true thing of my entire life.

[@taylorh1246]

We filled our bags with things we didn’t need, in preparing to leave what we did.

[@brkhrt3595]

Please listen to Cinderellas nobody's fool. The live Moscow version. The guitar solo in the beginning is insane😎😎

[@gerhardbraatz6305]

That was not a sad song. It was about East and West Germany being reunited when the Berlin wall came down. I've been in the US since 67 and it was good to see my country united again.

[@Lynn705Hal]

Touching song. I remember when the wall came down.

[@sherrihimes7357]

Gotta do their song Send Me an Angel ❤

[@howyoushowit2008]

This song was actually of the break up of East and West Germany.....was really a good thing in it's way.

[@geoffsullivan7902]

A moment in history….a beautiful song. ❤️🎼❤️They are from the former West Germany- now a united country. The fall of the Berlin Wall,the end of the Cold War. The band Metallica and others went to Moscow- an open air field- drew 1.6 million people……no joke. 🤘😎

[@bquietsouhear]

This wasn't a sad song to we who heard it when it came out! We cheered the wall coming down & sang with The Scorpions! Still do.

[@sandrarunning9327]

You wanted to know what the sing meant great channel n 1990, the Scorpions released Wind of Change, a power ballad celebrating glasnost, the fall of the Berlin Wall and the wave of political liberalism that swept through Europe in the late 1980s. Wind of Change became an unofficial anthem for the end of the Cold War.

[@Xcorgi]

This song is about the fall of the Berlin Wall in the 80’s that ended the cold war.

[@dalehammers4425]

This is one of the most powerful songs of all time, I remember when the wall came down and the Soviet Union collapsed. Words cant describe the feeling around the world at that moment, and now everyone around the world is calling for socialism again... its mind blowing how fast we all forget.

[@Sherri_Jordan]

Wish people would come together now like people did then.

[@edjasper92]

You need to read history.

[@TokiDoki-jt3of]

It's right after the Berlin wall came down

[@mannycarinha770]

Germany and the gulf war the wall was torn down in 90

[@kathyjones3940]

Can you imagine this was in 1990 in the Soviet Union! So sad what is going on now there!

[@pietrotriolo374]

Klaus meine il dio sulla terra la sua voce ti incanta nessuno può eguagliare la tua potenza vocale tu sei Klaus nessuno e capace di imitarti devono solo inchinarsi davanti a te a testa bassa...Klaus meine the god on earth his voice enchants you no one can match your vocal power you are Klaus no one and able to imitate you they just have to bow before you with their heads down

[@randallrobinson4823]

Please react to Scorpions Still Loving You.

[@athenstar10]

Late 80s to early 90s saw the fall of communism in many countries, the dissolution of USSR, the destruction of the Berlin wall, conflicts in the Middle East due to its oil, the war and famine Africa. I was too young then but I always see news about wars from different countries back then.

[@jamespn]

When the record company first heard the song, they said, Klaus the song is great but why all the whistling.

[@K78644]

berlin wall in africa? LOL

[@pixiedust817]

Why do some of these reactors not research the videos before watching? It's a positive song about the Berlin war coming down

[@retrogamingdream5504]

the start of nato warmongering expansion this song got a bad aftertaste

[@zacharyhurd625]

Take a civics class man.

[@joergfro7149]

I don't like this song! he makes me cry! My cousin is one of the last victims of the Berlin Wall! He was shot while trying to escape! they just let him bleed to death in no man's land! To this day we don't know where his body is! for the younger ones among you! East Germany or GDR was nothing other than North Korea, just in the middle of Europe!

[@zacharyhurd625]

You have no idea where Gorky park is. You don’t know about the Cold War. You don’t know about east and West Berlin. Instead of a reaction video how bout you read some history.
