These were the real songs that made these hair bands, not the harder stuff. The power ballads were always a hit, without fail, every hair band, every album.

I declare humbly that the Scorpions are one of the most underrated of all the classic acts. Their music is just dripping with brilliance. The guitar tone of this song is INCREDIBLE. 🙌

I enjoyed reading these comments. I have to add "Born to Touch Your Feelings" (from Taken By Force) and "Lady Starlight" (from Animal Magnetism) to this list. They're some of my favorite songs. I really like the albums Taken By Force, which was the last of "the old Scorpions" (still featuring Uli Jon Roth) and Lovedrive, which was the first of "the new Scorpions". Someone mentioned "Big City Nights" but it's not a ballad. It's still a great song though. Well, if we're going to mention some songs that are not really ballads but are still songs with some more mellow moments in them... then I'd have to mention at least "You Give Me All I Need" from Blackout. There are quite a few others as well. As a side note, If some of you haven't heard the song "The Sails of Charon" you might want to check it out. There's also a very interesting guitar solo before the vocals start. Sometimes Uli Jon Roth played in a style that was later called neoclassical metal. Take care and I hope you're having a great day.

This is one of those songs where everyone did exactly what was needed. The bass particularly drives the parts between the vocals and he's tight with the drums. The guitar leads add flavor and variation. And the rhythm guitar is consistent while the singer tells the story.

Yes! The second chorus to the end of the song is soooo good, not only with Klaus' singing, but the wailing guitar too!

Takes me back to being a 13 year old kid trying to learn guitar...Klaus has one of the greatest voices God ever gave a human being.

Beatles wrote the tune "my Guitar gently weeps"; however, the SCORPIONS Discography "PERFECTED" this literal art! Scorpions guitars tell the story emotionally

This song brings me to tears, every damn time!

"Winds of Change" deeply moving for those that can relate👍👍👍

Can't stop watching !! When Klaus repeats the third, "I'm still loving you..." and Mathais Jabs continues wailing on the guitar, Asia looked directly into the camera, for a few seconds, and you knew she was totally digging this song !! Love it !!

This is the standard for any power ballad. Love the scorpions.

The first time I heard this, all the way back in 84, it branded my soul. The vocals, the bass and the scorching guitar will be as powerful in my 90th year as they were in my 24th. While the verbiage may not carry the perfect message, the emotion is perfectly understood. These guys have been rockin' for 57 years and their longevity says several things... they're good at what they do, they enjoy what they do and millions of people agree! Money is nice, but it can't buy longevity. Respect given. Respect earned. That's the formula for longevity.

The best power ballad of all time! And I'm so glad you guys didn't pause it again because the last few minutes of this song builds to an explosive climax, with the wailing guitar in the background. Pausing it would've killed the mood!

Luv how this song is a gradual and constant build-up or crescendo and he never really says the actual title of the song til tbe very powerful and passionate climax to the song. Good job guys!!

Excellent choice!! The Scorpions have always been a favorite of mine, since the days of channel U-68 here in New York... Klaus Meine is a brilliant singer. Mathias Jabs killed it here on guitar. Rudy Schenker was the man on backup guitar from day one. Originally, his brother, the great Michael Schenker was a young kid on guitar in this group (I believe he was initially 16). He played with them, then left to play with his groups, UFO and eventually, Michael Schenker Group (or McCauley-Schenker Group). The Scorpions took on his friend and roommate, the magnificent Uli Roth, who destroyed the guitar with songs like “Sails of Charon” and “We’ll Burn the Sky”, among others. Uli Roth played with them from 1975 thru 1979. He and Michael Schenker are two phenomenal, influential players through to this very day!! Mathis Jabs took over playing lead and produced most of the hits that are known til this day. “Rock You Like a Hurricane”, “Still Loving You”, “Blackout”, “No One Like You”... the list goes on and on!! Thanks, Asia and BJ!!

I first saw the Scorpions in 1981 and several times since then up until 2015. They are one of the best sounding live bands ever and put on a hell of a show. Klaus has one of the greatest voices in R&R. Their album "Lovedrive" is a showcase of the bands influences and styles.

IMO, one of the best rock ballads of all time....

The guitar work is simply amazing with this vocal in this key….shoot….minors and dissonance and then a beautiful major resolve. The solos….watch these guys 84’ live from Oakland. One guitar falls out of tune a lil bit and these guys live tune and keep going- facts. 🤘😎🔥❤️please go down this rabbit hole back to 84’ Oakland, Ca. That tour hit Baltimore and I heard it from the 10th row. My ears went on Rock you like a hurricane….So- rock on and have fun!

Scorpions was so huge band in the late 70s and 80s, I was young bloke back then. But hey, they released just a new album so these guys are just legends. And check out Michael Schenker Group, great stuff!

Every time I hear this song, my mind flies back to the past and misses it ❤️

These young guns don't get the total feeling. We were under Soviet NUCLEAR threat, and Berlin was divided by that wall "Your pride has build a wall, so strong, that I can't get through"."You should give me a chance, this can't be the end (Nuclear HOLOCAUST!)" Only the people who lived the Cold War and the Soviet times can possibly understand this. This song is 10,000 times deeper than what millennials can possibly ever imagine.
