1)Berlin is an American new wave band featuring lead singer Terri Nunn. Berlin was formed in Orange County, Southern California in 1979.
Their first single, "A Matter of Time," was released in 1980 on I.R.S. Records and featured replacement vocalist Virginia Macolino on lead vocals after Nunn had temporarily left the band to pursue an acting career. Toni Childs also sang for Berlin briefly before Nunn rejoined the act and their indie released singles and EP Pleasure Victim became a regional hit in LA selling 30,000 copies before they signed with Geffen.
Their first significant hit was the controversial synth-driven "Sex (I'm A...)" (1982), which was banned by some radio & tv stations due to its graphic lyrics and risque video. They had two other early hits: "The Metro", which was later covered by System of a Down, Alkaline Trio, and Sleepthief; and "No More Words", who's subsequent video saw Terri Nunn and bandmates re-enact a Bonnie and Clyde style car chase and shoot-out. Despite their new wave dance club roots, it was the MOR ballad "Take My Breath Away" (from the movie Top Gun) that became their best-selling platinum selling single in 1986.
Aside from Nunn, the core members of the band were founding member John Crawford (primary songwriter, bass guitar & keyboards), and David Diamond (keyboards & guitar). Other members of the band included Ric Olsen (lead guitar), Matt Reid (keyboards), Rob Brill (drums) and Rod Learned (drums). Berlin officially disbanded in 1987 and Nunn retained the legal rights to usage of the band's name after legal wranglings with the founding member of the group, John Crawford. Terri Nunn recreated Berlin (with a new lineup of musicians) in 1999.
They were featured recently on the VH1 show, Bands Reunited where they all agreed to get back together to not only reunite as friends but as a band. They played one show at The Roxy in California to a sold-out crowd.
Terri Nunn has said she was somewhat taken aback by the success of "Take My Breath Away" on Adult Contemporary radio stations, since none of Berlin's singles up to that point had been suitable for AC radio. She is quoted in The Billboard Book of Number One Hits by Fred Bronson as saying that the first radio station she heard playing it was "something my mom listens to."

Fall
Berlin Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I can't remember how it feels
To have your loving arms around me
This is the pain I've never healed
I'll be waiting
'Till the sky falls down
Let the rain clouds come
I'll be waiting
'Till the sky falls down
'Till you're coming around baby
All my life I have been searching
For someone honest just like you
You left me here without a reason
Every tear belongs to you
I'll be waiting
'Till the sky falls down
'Till you're coming around, baby
I'll be waiting
'Till the sky falls down
Let the rain clouds come
I'll be waiting
'Till the sky falls down
'Till you're coming around, baby
I'll be waiting
'Till the sky falls down
Let the rain clouds come
The lyrics to Berlin's song Fall can be interpreted as a depiction of a longing and unfulfilled love. The first verse showcases the singer's memories of their past love and the nostalgia that they feel. The pain of not being able to feel their love one's embrace is something that they carry with them. They are waiting for their love to come back, but it seems as though the waiting will never end. The chorus repeats the same message of waiting until their love comes around, even if it means waiting until the sky falls down. The second verse shows how long the singer has been searching for an honest love just like the one they had with their past lover. The tears that they shed are reminders of the love that they shared, and they are waiting for their lover to return.
The lyrics convey a sense of hopelessness and desperation, as the singer is waiting for something that may never come. However, the repetition of the chorus also conveys resilience and determination, as they continue to wait for their soulmate to return. It can be interpreted that the singer is in need of closure, and that their love for the other person is still very strong.
Overall, Berlin's song Fall is a powerful and emotional portrayal of unrequited love, longing, and lost emotions.

Lyrics:
Where do we go from here?
The Sun is shining
Look into a nighttime sky
A star is calling
As seasons change
Why are you so afraid?
In darkness you'll see a new light
Fall, fall in love
Fall, fall in love
You know, I can't read your mind
If never spoken
Tell me if it hurts too much
The door is open
Colors all around
Smile, cry, then laugh out loud
Feel the Autumn breeze
Come alive
Fall, fall in love
Fall, fall in love
Where do we go from here?
I'll stay by your side
And if you choose a different path
We'll say, goodbye
Open your heart
A shooting star could shine and touch you
Here comes a light
Your star will shine again
Fall, fall in love
Fall-fall in love
Fall, fall in love (your star will shine again)
Fall, fall in love (your star will shine again)
Fall, fall in love (your star will shine again)
Your star will shine again
Your star will shine again
Your star will shine again

Certainly the most underrated band of the 1980s. What other band of the time recorded any song with such glorious hope and beauty to it as this?
