"Wind of Change"

"Wind of change" by Scorpions is one of the best power ballads ever and one if my all time favorite songs ever...

The lyrics celebrate the political changes in Eastern Europe at that time – such as the fall of the Berlin Wall, the increasing freedom in the communist bloc (which soon led to the fall of the USSR), and the clearly imminent end of the Cold War.

Many listeners of the song who are not acquainted with Moscow are often confused by the meaning of the opening lines of the song, which are:
"I follow the Moskva
Down to Gorky Park
Listening to the wind of change"
The Moskva is the name of the river that runs through Moscow (both the city and the river are named identically in Russian), and Gorky Park is the name of an amusement park in Moscow. The Scorpions were inspired to write this song on a visit to Moscow in 1989, and therefore included references to the aforementioned landmarks.

The video to the song shows clips from the fall of the Berlin Wall, other political thing that have happen through history and other moments of injustice through history... many band have done this kinds of videos to their song but i think that "Wind of Change" is the best video that follows the message of the song and the subject.

When the intro starts it always send shivers down my spine and through my body, it so quite and peaceful and then when the the singer starts to sing it's so beautiful and just amazing.

Every little thing about this song is wonderful, from the intro to the guitar solo, to the chorus, to the verses, to bridge and to the ending.

Every time I listen to this song I just let everything go and disappear from the world and nothing can bring me down in that moment...
