Still Loving You is a power ballad by the German hard rock band Scorpions, released in 1984 as the second single from their ninth studio album, Love at First Sting. The song was written by lead singer Klaus Meine and guitarist Rudolf Schenker, and it expresses the hope of reuniting with a former lover.
The song can also be seen as an analogy between a love story and the Berlin Wall, which separated the city of Berlin in Germany from 1961 to 1989. The wall was a symbol of the Cold War and the division of East and West Germany, and it prevented many people from escaping the communist regime of the East. The song’s lyrics reflect the desire to break down the wall and restore the connection between the two sides, as well as the pain of being separated.

“Love, only love can bring down the wall someday I will be there, I will be there”

The song was released five years before the fall of the Berlin Wall, which happened on November 9, 1989, after a series of peaceful protests and revolutions in the Eastern Bloc. The song’s message of hope and reconciliation resonated with many people who had experienced the division and oppression of the wall, and who celebrated its collapse as a sign of freedom and unity.

Scorpions are one of the most successful and influential rock bands from Germany, with a career spanning more than 50 years and more than 100 million records sold worldwide. They were formed in 1965 by Rudolf Schenker, who was joined by his brother Michael Schenker, Klaus Meine, Wolfgang Dziony, and Lothar Heimberg. The band’s lineup changed several times over the years, but the core members remained Schenker, Meine, and Matthias Jabs, who joined in 1978. The band’s style evolved from psychedelic rock to hard rock and heavy metal, and they are known for their powerful guitar riffs, melodic vocals, and anthemic songs. Some of their most famous hits include Rock You Like a Hurricane, Wind of Change, No One Like You, and Send Me an Angel.

Still Loving You is one of the Scorpions’ signature songs, and it has been covered by many artists. The song is also considered a classic of the power ballad genre, and it has been ranked among the best love songs of all time.

It has been said that Scorpions triggered a mini baby-boom in France with their song “Still Loving You”. The song was a huge success in France, where it reached the number one spot on the charts and stayed there for several weeks in 1984. The song was so romantic and popular that many couples fell in love and conceived children while listening to it! Klaus Meine was very proud of having sparked this baby-boom. Haha
