Working with "Wind of Change"
 |
This song is a source of information in which students can immerse themselves to learn more about the events that marked the world history forever. In order to make this possible, we as teachers need to think about different questions that motivate our students to look for information and make their own interpretation.
Some general questions are, for example:
Before watching the video:
1) Who wrote “Wind of Change”? In which year was this song written?
2) Which country are they from? What was happening in their country and in the world in those years?
3) What do you think was the reason that inspired the music group to write this song?
4) Watch the music video and analyze it.
Never forget that students should enjoy doing this work, so the results will be better :) If you have some extra information about this wonderful song or other ideas about more specific questions, you can share them here!

Mas allá de lo dicho
El docente invita a los estudiantes a escuchar y leer la canción "Wind of Change" del grupo alemán Scorpions
I follow the Moskva
Down to Gorky Park
Listening to the wind of change
An August summer night
Soldiers passing by
Listening to the wind of change
The world closing in
Did you ever think
That we could be so close, like brothers
The future's in the air
I can feel it everywhere
Blowing with the wind of change
Chorus:
Take me to the magic of the moment
On a glory night
Where the children of tomorrow dream away
In the wind of change
Walking down the street
Distant memories
Are buried in the past forever
I follow the Moskva
Down to Gorky Park
Listening to the wind of change
Take me to the magic of the moment
On a glory night
Where the children of tomorrow share their dreams
With you and me
Take me to the magic of the moment
On a glory night
Where the children of tomorrow dream away
In the wind of change
The wind of change blows straight
Into the face of time
Like a stormwind that will ring
The freedom bell for peace of mind
Let your balalaika sing
What my guitar wants to say
Take me to the magic of the moment
On a glory night
Where the children of tomorrow share their dreams
With you and me
Take me to the magic of the moment
On a glory night
Where the children of tomorrow dream away
In the wind of change
