1) Wind was a West Coast '60s inspired German psych rock band. Their first album "Seasons" (1971) is considered to be a little classic in the early days of progressive rock. It features complex epic songs within heavy rock, psych-spaced out proportions. "Morning" (1973) is a catchy collection of almost conventional heavy rocking songs. Without gaining the commercial success, the band split in 1973. The drummer Lucky Schmidt will pursue his career with the band Aera.

2) Wind was started in 1985 by the composer Hanne Haller. The other members of the band at that time were Alexander "Ala" Heiler, Christine von Kutschenbach, Rainer Höglmeier, Willie Jakob, Sami Kalifa and Petra Scheeser.
The group has participated in the Eurovision Song Contest for Germany three times. The first time was shortly after the formation of the band, in Eurovision 1985. With the song Für alle they finished second, just behind the winning duo Bobbysocks from Norway. In 1987 Wind returned to the contest, performing Lass die Sonne in dein Herz in Brussels, Belgium. Once again they achieved a second place, this time behind Johnny Logan who represented Ireland. Lass die Sonne in dein Herz has since become the band's trademark tune, including welcoming visitors to their official website. Wind entered Eurovision for a third time in 1992 in Malmö, Sweden, with the song Träume sind für alle da. This time they were not as successful, finishing 16th of 23 participants. According to John Kennedy O'Connor in his book The Eurovision Song Contest: The Official History, Wind are the only act to ever finish second in the contest on two occasions.

3) Wind was a pagan black metal band from Poland formed in 1993 by vocalist/guitarist Lord Darkstorm of the black metal band Darkstorm and drummer Lord Wintersky. They released two demo/rehearsals and a promo tape before disbanding. Material from their second rehearsal, "Night My Queen" was rereleased with Darkstorm's "The Black Stone" in 2008.

4) Wind was a dark ambient project from Finland, formed in 1998 by Mikko Virkki aka Wircki (also in Hin Onde). His style, described as surrealistic neoclassical music with sinister synths and haunting atmosphere, has been compared to that of Devil Doll. Wind changed name to Varjosielu in 2000.

Mein Spiegelbild ist wie ein offenes Buch für mich
Ich sehe meine Narben ungeschminkt
Und schließe ich die Augen, läuft ein Film im Kopf
Ich bin es, der den Soundtrack dazu singt

Dann fang' ich an zu tanzen
Der Moment nimmt meine Hand
Man muss das Leben tanzen

Dann fühlt es sich wie Fliegen an
All die Bilder, die Geschichten
aus Tränen und aus Glück
Hörst du deine Lieder wieder
dann kommen sie zurück

Mir scheint, als ob es gestern erst gewesen wär'
Ich reise in Gedanken durch die Zeit
Geweint, gelacht, geliebt und auch den Schmerz gespürt
Ein Ende kann ein neuer Anfang sein

Dann fang' ich an zu tanzen
Der Moment nimmt meine Hand
Man muss das Leben tanzen
Dann fühlt es sich wie Fliegen an
All die Bilder, die Geschichten
aus Tränen und aus Glück
Hörst du deine Lieder wieder
dann kommen sie zurück

Was mich bewegt
Wofür' ich leb'

es macht, dass mein Herz
weiter schlägt

Overall Meaning

The song Tanzen by Wind is a reflective ballad that speaks about the power of dance and music in helping one navigate life's ups and downs. The opening verse paints a vivid image of introspection where the singer looks at themselves in the mirror and sees their scars and imperfections without any makeup. By closing their eyes, a movie runs through their mind, and they sing the accompanying soundtrack. This suggests that the singer is deeply connected to their emotions and can channel them through music.

The chorus of the song emphasizes the need to dance through life and feel the moment. It talks about how life is better when it's danced through, and it feels like flying. This is because when one is dancing, they transcend their body and connect with their soul, which in turn helps remove the emotional baggage that comes with everyday living. Furthermore, the lyrics speak about the power of music in bringing back memories, be they happy or sad, and how hearing a particular song brings back images and stories from the past. The final verse speaks to the cyclical nature of life, where an end can lead to a new beginning. It's reminiscent of the saying, 'when one door closes, another opens,' and suggests that life is a process of continual rebirth.
