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."

Take My Breath Away
Berlin Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
In my foolish lover's game
On this endless ocean
Finally lovers know no shame
Turning and returning
To some secret place inside
Watching in slow motion
As you turn around and say
"Take my breath away
Take my breath away"
Watching, I keep waiting
Still anticipating love
Never hesitating to become the fated ones
Turning and returning
To some secret place to hide
Watching in slow motion
As you turn to me and say
"My love, take my breath away"
Through the hourglass I saw you
In time you slipped away
When the mirror crashed I called you
And turned to hear you say
"If only for today
I am unafraid"
Take my breath away
Take my breath away
Watching every motion
In this foolish lover's game
Haunted by the notion
Somewhere there's a love in flames
Turning and returning
To some secret place inside
Watching in slow motion
As you turn my way and say
"Take my breath away
My love, take my breath away
My love, take my breath away
My love
My love, take my breath away
My love"
The song “Take My Breath Away” by Berlin is an evocative and tender love song, it describes the feeling of being completely swept up in passion and emotion. The lyrics talk about watching every motion of a lover in a foolish lover’s game, and feeling like finally, lovers know no shame. The song describes the experience of being so deeply in love that you can’t breathe, and feeling like you’ve finally found a love that is worth holding onto.
The lyrics continue, talking about watching the lover in slow motion as they turn around and say “Take My Breath Away”. The chorus repeats this phrase, singing about how the love is so strong and overwhelming that it literally takes the singer’s breath away. The image of turning and returning to some secret place inside also speaks to the intimacy and trust that is present between the lovers. The song goes on to say that through the hourglass and the turning of time, the lover slipped away, but the singer remains unafraid to love, even if just for today.
Line by Line Meaning
Watching every motion
Observing every movement you make
In my foolish lover's game
In this game we play as foolish lovers
On this endless ocean
Traveling on a boundless sea
Finally lovers know no shame
Finally realizing that true lovers have no shame
Turning and returning
Repeatedly changing directions
To some secret place inside
Going to some inner hidden place
Watching in slow motion
Watching you slowly in motion
As you turn around and say
As you turn and speak to me
"Take my breath away
Make me feel overwhelmed and speechless
Watching, I keep waiting
Continuously waiting and watching
Still anticipating love
Expecting and longing for love
Never hesitating to become the fated ones
Immediately deciding to become the destined lovers
Through the hourglass I saw you
I saw you through the hourglass
In time you slipped away
In time you disappeared
When the mirror crashed I called you
When the mirror broke, I shouted for you
And turned to hear you say
And turned to listen to you
"If only for today
If it's just for today
I am unafraid"
Then I am not scared
Watching every motion
Observing every movement you make
In this foolish lover's game
In this game we play as foolish lovers
Haunted by the notion
Unable to let go of the idea
Somewhere there's a love in flames
There is a passionate love somewhere
Turning and returning
Repeatedly changing directions
To some secret place inside
Going to some inner hidden place
Watching in slow motion
Observing you in slow motion
As you turn my way and say
As you face me and speak
"Take my breath away
Overwhelm me
My love, take my breath away
My love, make me speechless
My love, take my breath away
My love, leave me stunned
My love
My beloved
My love, take my breath away
My love, make me overwhelmed
