This song was written by Klaus Meine the vocalist of the group Scorpions one of the most importantly bands of hard rock and heavy metal of Germany, this song was made on september of 1989 and publication on march of 1991.
This video caught my attention because it takes many pictures of the Cold War and the Berlin Wall and this conflict was one of the most important in the world, because it marks a stage of separation of a nation so much politically like physically and this generate family and friends separations.
Also shows many images of social unrest and the fall of the Berlin Wall, along with images that are important icons like Mandela, Pope John Paul II and Gorbachev.
The people can understand this video of different form because, these images are not foreign to them and often there re-live events that they do not want to remember.
Some of the values that can be represented in this video can be the personal freedom as freedom of expression, and it delivers a point of view of which we can evolve to a world where the political separations do not limit our relations with different persons.
This song and video it was created because in this time (1989) there were lived many important changes, the abolition of the USSR, the unification of Germany and the most important fact the fall of the wall of Berlin and the group wanted to send a message of which the future could much better and which all these discords of the past were leaving themselves behind as recollections and to look towards at the future with eyes of change, of acceptance and pardon.
This video generates the following doubt:
Is it possible to forget and leave behind so many years of repression and separation to give step to a future of unit and of conviviality as sibling?
Excellent video, I love this song, is one of my favourites, I heard it a lot when i was young, I think that this song stirred hearts with a message of hope especially against horror of war.
