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".

This Is My Song
Scorpions Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
There's only hate everywhere
So many people go different ways
So many things don't you care
They see nobody, they see themselves
But a stage like in a show
They see the hell, and they need your help
This is my song
I tell you about the story of love
This is my song
I tell you about the story of love
This is my song
I tell you about the story of love
This is my song
I tell you about the story of love
I think I need you, you need me too
The place where we live is here
The world is griping what can I do
For you and you everywhere
I sing this song 'bout the world of love
And hope you hear what I say
Forever freedom, forever love
Forever love everyday
The lyrics of Scorpions' song "This Is My Song" reflect on the state of the world and the atrocities that people commit against each other. The opening lines express disbelief at the prevalence of hate that exists all around us. The song acknowledges the diversity of people in the world, but points out that many of us seem to be going in different directions and don't seem to care about each other. The song then shifts its attention to those who see nobody but themselves, as if they are on a stage, and who are in a state of hell and need help. This verse of the song is a call to action for all of us to show love and help those who are suffering.
The chorus of the song reinforces the message of love and hope. It repeats the theme of "This is my song" and that it's about the "story of love." The singer reiterates that he needs the listener as much as the listener needs him. The song recognizes that despite the terrible things happening in the world, there is still a place where we all live together. The song encourages us to make a positive impact by singing about love, and to hope that others hear what we say.
Overall, this song is an anthem for peace, love and hope. It encourages people to think about the power of love and the positive impact it can have on the world. It reminds us of the need to show kindness to each other, no matter how different we are.
Line by Line Meaning
I can't believe what the people say
I am surprised by the negativity and hate that people express
There's only hate everywhere
Everywhere I look, I see hate and animosity
So many people go different ways
People have many different paths and choices in life
So many things don't you care
It seems like people don't care about important issues and ideas
They see nobody, they see themselves
People are often self-centered and only concerned with their own lives
But a stage like in a show
Life is like a performance or production
They see the hell, and they need your help
People experience pain and hardship, and they need support and love from others
They need your help, they need love, love
The most important things people need are help and love
This is my song
The following lyrics express my message
I tell you about the story of love
I am sharing my perspective on the importance and power of love
I think I need you, you need me too
We all rely on each other in some way
The place where we live is here
Our current location and situation is where we exist and operate
The world is griping what can I do, For you and you everywhere
The world is struggling, and I wish to make a positive difference for everyone
I sing this song 'bout the world of love
My song is meant to inspire and promote love in the world
And hope you hear what I say
I hope that people listen to and understand my message
Forever freedom, forever love, Forever love everyday
I hope for a world where freedom and love are everlasting and every day
