During the mid-1970s, with guitarist Uli Jon Roth (who replaced Schenker's younger brother Michael) part of the lineup, the music of the Scorpions was defined as hard rock. After Roth's departure in 1978, Schenker and Meine took control of the group, giving them almost all the power to compose music and write lyrics. Matthias Jabs joined in 1978, and with the melodic rock he played and the influence of producer Dieter Dierks in the band, the Scorpions changed their sound to melodic heavy metal mixed with lyrical "power rock ballads", which is evident in the album Lovedrive (1979), which began the evolution of the band's sound, with recording a developed later in several of their albums. Michael Schenker also played on the Lovedrive album. Over the next decade, the band achieved influence, approval from music critics, and significant commercial success with the albums Animal Magnetism (1980), Blackout (1982), Love at First Sting (1984), the live recording World Wide Live (1985), Savage Amusement (1988), their best-selling compilation Best of Rockers 'n' Ballads (1989), and Crazy World (1990), all awarded at least one platinum award in the United States. The band has released thirteen consecutive studio albums that were in the top 10 in Germany, one of which reached No. 1, as well as three consecutive albums that were in the top 10 in the Billboard 200 in the United States. Their latest studio album, Rock Believer, was released in February 2022.
Scorpions are estimated to have sold over 100 million records around the world, making them one of the best-selling hard rock and heavy metal bands. One of their most recognized hits is "Wind of Change" (from Crazy World), a symbolic anthem of the political changes in Eastern Europe in the late 1980s and early 1990s and the fall of the Berlin Wall, and it remains as one of the best-selling singles in the world with over 14 million copies. Two of the songs on their ninth studio album Love at First Sting, "Rock You Like a Hurricane" and "Still Loving You", are regarded as some of the most influential and popular works, both in heavy metal music and among rock ballads, defined as "rock anthem" and "a true hymn of love".

Scorpions Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The rain will fall tonight
And tonight we'll go to the sky
Because and we fly
All together
Fly to the sky
Fly to the rainbow
Fly people fly
And I see the smile on your face
When you look into space
He's so bright and he is so great
Come on or it's too late
All together
Fly to the sky
Fly to the rainbow
Fly people fly
Fly people fly
See the rainbow in the sun
The man will not go
And the world they have no fun
Hurry up people run
All together
Fly to the sky
Fly to the rainbow
Fly people fly
Fly people fly
All together
Fly to the sky
Fly to the rainbow
Fly people fly
Fly people fly
The lyrics to Scorpions' song Fly People Fly take listeners on a journey through the sky and into space. The opening lines reveal that the singer is observing someone's tears, and the suggestion is that the rain falling tonight has something to do with it. However, this sad moment quickly transitions into one of hope as the characters take flight together. The repeated refrain, "Fly people fly," encourages listeners to break out of their routine and experience something new and uplifting. The songwriters use the metaphor of flight to inspire people to leave their troubles behind and embrace the wonders of the world above.
As the song continues, the lyrics become more abstract, emphasizing the beauty of space and the transformative power of light. The imagery of a rainbow in the sun is particularly striking, as it evokes the promise of new beginnings and hope for a better future. The songwriters suggest that the world can be a depressing and uninspiring place, but the act of taking flight can change that. The final lines encourage people to run towards this new horizon, toward something that promises to be better than what they have now.
Overall, Scorpions' Fly People Fly is a song about breaking free from the monotony of daily life, seeking out adventure and wonder, and chasing after a brighter future. The lyrics use the metaphor of flying to inspire listeners to overcome their fears and take to the skies, where they can experience the world in a new and exhilarating way.

The Ulrich Roth era is incredible and this album is one of the best .
L. Ron Gardner
Not one of the best. The BEST, but too psychedelic and esoteric for mainstream commercial success..
Manny Ruiz
@L. Ron Gardner this is how heavy metal sounded in the early 70s. I dig it. I like all the Uli era albums. After that I lose interest.
