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."

Love Runs Out
Berlin Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴
They're not for a lady like I'm
I can recall what my aunt said
When she married for the twentieth time
Falling out of love can be fun
After love is over and done
It's an awful blow and
So much you can do while you're forgetting
Falling out of love can be fun
When you've find your lover has gone
Get your second wind and go on
There's an old affair that
Is there for renewing
In your grief, do you know what you're doing?
Falling out of love can be fun
Soon, you'll be swinging in a
Hammock on a porch
One arm wrapped around someone else
The other arm carrying a torch
Love can give a lady a clout
And she may be down but not out
Get yourself a date, don't you wait
For the count of ten, then
Falling out of love can be
Falling in love again
Falling out of love can be fun
Someone else can soon be the one
By another name, he's the same as his brother
Close your eyes and one is like the other
Falling out of love can be fun
When he goes before you have wed
And the stork is over your head
Soon you're gonna be with a she or a laddie
Smile as you go shopping for a daddy
Falling out of love can be fun
Soon, you'll be losing all your
Troubles and your fears
One eye winking at someone else
The other eye filling up with tears
When you find your lovin' romance
Gets a sudden kick in the pants
Get yourself surrounded and bounded
With lots of men, then
Falling out of love can be
Falling in love again
The lyrics of Berlin's song "Love Runs Out" paint a detailed picture of a woman's perspective on love and relationships, showcasing a mix of cynicism, resilience, and hope. The first verse talks about not shedding crocodile tears for failed relationships, suggesting a sense of emotional maturity and unwillingness to play the victim. The reference to the aunt marrying multiple times alludes to a cycle of failed relationships and the acceptance of the impermanence of love.
The chorus emphasizes the idea that falling out of love can actually be a liberating and empowering experience. It acknowledges the pain of a breakup but also suggests that it can open up opportunities for personal growth and self-discovery. The lyrics suggest that in the process of moving on from a failed relationship, there is potential for fun and new experiences, highlighting the importance of embracing change and letting go of the past.
The second verse encourages resilience in the face of heartbreak, urging the listener to find renewed strength and purpose after a breakup. The notion of seeking out old flames for a sense of familiarity or comfort during times of grief speaks to the complexity of human emotions and the ways in which people cope with loss. The lyrics also touch on the idea of rebound relationships and the possibility of finding love again after experiencing a heartbreak.
Overall, the song conveys a message of resilience, self-discovery, and the cyclical nature of love and relationships. Through its playful yet poignant lyrics, it explores the idea that falling out of love can be a transformative experience that leads to new beginnings and opportunities for growth. The imagery of swinging in a hammock, shopping for a 'daddy', and winking at someone else all contribute to a narrative of moving forward with optimism and embracing the bittersweet journey of love.
