Wind of Change

"Wind of Change" is a power ballad written by Klaus Meine, vocalist of German rock band Scorpions. It appeared on their 1990 album Crazy World but did not become a worldwide hit single until 1991, when it topped the charts in Germany and across Europe and hit No. 4 in the United States and No. 2 in the United Kingdom. It later appeared on the band's 1995 live album Live Bites, their 2000 album with the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra, Moment of Glory, and on their 2001 unplugged album Acoustica. Worldwide, the single has sold millions of copies, making it one of the best selling singles of all time. The Scorpions hold the record for the best-selling single by a German artist and band. The band also recorded a Russian-language version of the song, under the title "Ветер перемен" and a Spanish version called "Vientos de Cambio".
