Wind of Change


The original key of the song Wind of Change by Scorpions is D major. This iconic ballad was released in 1990 and is often associated with the fall of the Berlin Wall and the end of the Cold War. The lead vocalist and songwriter, Klaus Meine, wrote the lyrics based on the band's experience of performing in Moscow during the time of political changes in Europe. Notable for its powerful and emotional melody, Wind of Change became a symbol of hope and transformation.
