「變遷之風」是1990年克勞斯.邁恩寫的一首力量民謠,由德國重金屬樂隊蠍子樂隊演唱。它發行於樂隊1990年的專輯Crazy World,但直到1991年才成為一支全球熱門的單曲,在德國以及全歐洲的榜單上位列榜首,在美國排名第四,英國排名第二。之後它又被收錄入1995年的現場專輯Live Bites,和2000年的專緝Moment of Glory(由柏林愛樂樂團配樂),以及2001年的不插電專輯Acoustica。
樂隊同時也錄製了一首本歌的俄語版,題目為Ветер перемен (Veter Peremen)以及西班牙語版Vientos de Cambio。
這首歌是目前德國歷史上銷量排名第十的單曲。[1]
在全世界,這支單曲賣出了1400萬份,成為歷史上銷量前二十的單曲。[2] 蠍子樂隊也是德國歷史上單曲銷量最好的樂隊。
譜寫背景
蠍子樂隊受到了1989年去莫斯科訪問的啟發寫了這首歌,開頭的歌詞代表了莫斯科的地標:
- I follow the Moskva
- Down to Gorky Park
- Listening to the wind of change
作曲
「變遷之風」由Matthias Jabs的清音結他開場,伴隨着Klaus Meine著名的口哨聲。歌曲的結他獨奏是Rudolf Schenker。
