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".

The Best Is Yet To Come
Scorpions Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Where nothing dares to grow
I taught you how to sing
You taught me everything I know
And thought the night is young
And we don't know if we'll live to see the sun
The best is yet to come
That we've only just begun
Through the highs and lows
And how can I live without you
You're such a part of me
And you've always been the one
Keeping me forever young
And the best is yet to come
Na na na na
Don't look now, the best is yet to come
Na na na na
Take my hand, the best is yet to come
Thinking of the times
How we laughed and cried
I wouldn't change a thing
I couldn't even if I tried
Through the wind and rain
The spirit of our song remains the same
And the best is yet to come
I know, you know
That we've only just begun
Through the highs and lows
And how can I live without you
You're such a part of me
And you've always been the one
Keeping me forever young
And the best is yet to come
Na na na na
Don't look now, the best is yet to come
Na na na na
Take my hand, the best is yet to come
Oh can you feel it in the air
It's in your heart and everywhere
We got to keep that dream alive
We cross another road
And face another day
Soldiers never die
They only fade away
How can we grow old
When the soundtrack of our lives is rock and roll
And the best is yet to come
I know, you know
That we've only just begun
Through the highs and lows
And how can I live without you
You're such a part of me
And you've always been the one
Keeping me forever young
And the best is yet to come
Na na na na
Don't look now, the best is yet to come
Na na na na
Take my hand, the best is yet to come
Na na na na
Don't look now, the best is yet to come
Na na na na
Take my hand, the best is yet to come
In the first verse of "The Best Is Yet To Come," Scorpions reference the barren desert as a metaphor for the challenges and difficulties of life. Despite the harsh conditions, the singer finds beauty and purpose in the ability to teach someone else how to sing, while also learning and growing themselves. The uncertainty of whether they will survive to see the sun rise the next day highlights the fragility and unpredictability of life. However, the chorus reassures the listener that there is more to come, that they have only just begun. The singer recognizes the significance of their relationship and the role their partner plays in keeping them forever young.
In the second verse, Scorpions emphasize the importance of cherishing memories and experiences, even the difficult ones. The phrase "I wouldn't change a thing, I couldn't even if I tried" highlights the idea that the sum of all experiences, good and bad, made the singer who they are today. The spirit of their song, or their shared experiences and emotions, transcends time and remains eternal. The final verse touches on the idea of soldiering on through life's challenges, but also finding joy in the music that has accompanied them throughout their journey.
Overall, "The Best Is Yet To Come" is a hopeful and uplifting message about seizing the moment and looking forward to the future, while also cherishing the past and the people who helped shape us into who we are today.

❤SCORPIONS||O.P.Q.O |The Best Is Yet To Come
A penumbra que te envolve provoca meus sentidos/
Tuas batidas serpenteiam minha libido/
Enfurecem meu desejo/
Envenenam o calor do meu sangue/
Comem cada parte do meu corpo/
Arremetidas gozando a letra../
Cada palavra.../
És \MEU/.
