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."

Matter of Time
Berlin Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It runs on by
It steals your hopes and dreams and one last chance
You never know
I can see it now
I can feel its scolding hand
Saying come on now you've got to run
You wonder can you stop the hands of time
Erase your fate
He's laughing, knowing that he's got control
Just watch and wait
I can see it now
I can hear the whispered voice
Telling me now you've got no time to waste
It's a matter of time
It's just a matter of time
And you've got to see
You have the answer, you have the strength
There's no denying it's in your hands
It's in your hands
It's a matter of time
Living breathing touching feeling
Hoping dreaming still deceiving
Searching finding losing crying
Know the truth you're dying
Oh you're dying
It's a matter of time
Remember who you are and what you have
The time is yours
Your flame is burning down so guard it well
It may go out
I can see it now
I can see the end of time
Holding the answers to all your fears
It's a matter of time
The song "A Matter of Time" by Berlin is a poignant reflection on the inevitability of time and the importance of seizing the moment. The song begins with the artist acknowledging the fleeting nature of time and how it has the power to take away one's hopes and dreams. The artist then goes on to describe the feeling of being hastened by time, how one always feels like they have to run in order to keep up. She wonders if it's possible to stop the hands of time, to erase one's fate, but knows deep down that time is always in control, and that all one can do is watch and wait.
The chorus of the song speaks to the main theme, emphasizing that time is the ultimate force that governs our lives, and that it's just "a matter of time" before we meet our fate. However, the artist also highlights the power that lies within oneself, encouraging listeners to recognize that they have the answer and the strength to confront their fears and make the most of the time they have. The final verse is a heartfelt plea to guard one's flame, to remember who one is and what one has, and to make the most of the time that remains.
Overall, "A Matter of Time" is a powerful song that reflects on the transience of life and the importance of living in the moment. It reminds us that time is precious and that we must make the most of the time we have, no matter how fleeting it may be.
