Scorpion - wind of change

SCORPION 
WIND OF CHANGE 

The intro of the song, a clean guitar by Mathais Jabs and whistle by Rudolf Schenker is so soothing. ‘wind of change’ is the best hit single by the German band Scorpion.  This track was released in 1991 at the time of cold war in Germany. The lyrics depicts the condition of those time. I personally think,this track is the best track of Scorpion. ‘Coast to coast’, Fly To Rainbow are other hits by Scorpion.

GROUPLOVE –TOUNG TIED

GROUPLOVE –TOUNG TIED 

Ever noticed how brilliant apple commercials are because of the cleverly chosen tunes that are embedded in them? Remember the tambourine shakes and the distorted licks from ‘are you gonna be my girl’ by jet used in the ipod commercial? Remember the soothing song ‘1234’ by feist utilized in the iPod Nano ad? In 2011 apple introduced this catchy tune to their iPod touch advertisement campaign. My verdict: an excellent choice to a consistently rewarding campaign! Have fun discovering GROUPLOVE.
