1991年billboard 年度排行第二
1991年正是全球共產政權垮台骨牌效應排山倒海之際
在這支MV裡可以看到89民運,東歐的人民革命,蘇聯的解體以及柏林圍牆被推倒之後的兩德統一畫面,因為這是導因於來自德國的搖滾樂團天蠍星 Scorpions 1988年在當年蘇聯列寧格勒的演唱會，讓蘇聯當局在一年後的1989年同意在莫斯科舉辦一場難得一見的搖滾和平音樂會。在這場音樂節中，Scorpions就在這二十多萬名蘇聯搖滾樂迷歡呼聲中演唱，當時還有其他重金屬搖滾如Bon Jovi、還有蘇俄樂團[Gorky Park](出現在歌詞中)。1989年九月，Klaus Meine將這場演出的經驗和感受寫進樂團的暢銷單曲Wind Of Change中。
1989年十一月，在完全出乎大家意料的情況下，柏林圍牆倒塌。Wind Of Change成為壓垮鐵幕共產主義和冷戰結束時期的國歌。一年後，Roger Waters具聲光效果的搖滾製作The Wall在柏林圍牆舊址舉行，Scorpions也應邀演唱。
Scorpions甚至錄製了俄文版的Wind Of Change，而且贏得一位位高權重的歌迷：1991年他們受前蘇聯領袖戈巴契夫的邀請，到克寧姆林宮參加一場研討會。這是蘇聯和搖滾史上頭一遭。
I folow the Moskva
Down to Gorky Park
Listening to the wind of change
An August summer night
Soldiers passing by
Listening to the wind of change
The world is closing in
Did you ever think
That we could be so close, like brothers
The future's in the air
I can feel it everywhere
Blowing with the wind of change
Take me to the magic of the moment
On a glory night
Where the children of tomorrow dream away
in the wind of change
Walking down the street
Distant memories
Are buried in the past forever
I folow the Moskva
Down to Gorky Park
Listening to the wind of change
Take me to the magic of the moment
On a glory night
Where the children of tomorrow share their dreams
With you and me
Take me to the magic of the moment
On a glory night
Where the children of tomorrow dream away
in the wind of change
The wind of change
Blows straight into the face of time
Like a stormwind that will ring the freedom bell
For peace of mind
Let your balalaika sing
What my guitar wants to say
Take me to the magic of the moment
On a glory night
Where the children of tomorrow share their dreams
With you and me
Take me to the magic of the moment
On a glory night
Where the children of tomorrow dream away
in the wind of change
