back in the 80s a lot of people thought us metal heads were crazy and that it was noise. But we really recognized the advanced musicianship of these bands and how incredible the vocals were for many of them. Metal guitarists really expanded as well from the standard pentatonic scale used in most rock up until them, using various scale modes to giving us classical music sounds and complexity. Loud metal also required vocalists that could really soar above the music.

I remember those days. Sometimes I miss how misunderstood heavier music was by the masses back in the day, how I got to enjoy it just with the few others who could see beyond contemporary prejudices, but sometimes I enjoy how everyone these days can see the beauty in it. I have mixed feelings, you could say. To this day, though, I still listen to plenty of music that is beyond most people's tolerances, and it still brings a juvenile big smile to my old face when I see people's reactions to some of the skramz and grindcore I love. But even when it's too much for people, they still understand that it is music with its own merits, unlike the Satanic Madness people used to associate it with. It's good that people have improved, but it was also fun to freak out the squares back in the dark ages.

This song is an exercise in patience and restraint. If you notice, the satisfying, dramatic guitar power chords at 12:01 are only done once, at the end. Could have done them many times by then, but they left it, saved it for that moment. The first instance of the chorus, the still loving you, is gentle and understated, reserving that powerful sound till the end. It is just masterful.

All of Scorpions' slows/ballads are written by rhythm guitar player and founding member Rudolf Schenker (the light-blond guy to the left ((on screen)) of singer Klaus Meine). Rudolf is the older brother of legendary guitar player Michael Schenker who played in Scorpions at age 15 and went to play with UFO at age 17. This video was recorded for German TV and has the studio audio.

I have seen them live a couple of times and they are just as good live as they are on record. You are totally correct in saying that ballads leave you vulnerable and exposed. Klaus' talent really shines on these ballads. I recommend that you go back to the Taken By Force album, which was the album that I was introduced to The Scorpions. Born To Touch Your Feelings, Burn The Sky, etc. Wow!

For more special delivery from this frigging freak of angelic singing in rock I take permission to refer you to "Holiday" and "Send me an angel". Well, any song he sings has this easily delivered quality (and it's been nearly 60 years of now), but these two showcase it especially well.

I was in high school, and my older brother (my only sibling), on his first leave from the Army, Desert Storm era, and his first trip home after leaving, took me to my first concert, Great White & Mr. Big w/ Scorpions headlining. We were in the stands for the first two (guitar dual between Billy Sheehan and Paul Gilbert was insane), but my brother said, screw this, this isn't how you should experience your first concert, and told me to follow his lead just as the Scorpions were coming out. With two "guards" at floor level checking wrist bands, he pretended to hold out his arm to one of them then the same to the other, and went through to the floor with confidence. My introverted, law-following self, scared to death I'd get busted and probably thrown in jail, did the same and somehow made it through to the floor. I couldn't believe that worked! We ended up around 10 feet from the band and I (surprisingly) got to experience my first mosh pit. The band was flawless. Thankful AF.
