Scorpions live ...... nothing more to say.
Scorpions, a band I started to like because a particular song, Winds of Change. This song marked a moment of my life and every time I feel melancholic i hear it and every time I hear it i get melancholic for a perfect past. Ironically, the song celebrates the change of a dark age, and to me, this song makes me want to return to the past, that a change did not happen.
"Wind of Change" is a 1990 power ballad written by Klaus Meine, vocalist of The Germ rock band Scorpions. It appeared on Their 1990 album Crazy World, But Did not Become a worldwide hit single Until 1991, When It topped the charts in Germany and across Europe, and hit # 4 in the United States and # 2 in the United Kingdom "en.wikipedia org.
When standing in line at the Estadio Hernando Siles de La Paz City i had not yet realized that in a few hours i was going to hear all the songs that reminded me of different things, but for some reason, the only song that didnt came to my mind was Winds of Change.
To start we got there about 4 hours before the concert and the rows were endless, luckily my brother and I were about half of the row, which was a good place to be because few hours after the row where I was grew and grew and grew .
When it started to get dark, the people around me began drinking and singing songs from the group we were all eager to hear live for the first time in our city, in our country.
At last! The doors opened at about 8pm and the boredom and fatigue was turned into nervousness / excitement.
First, I had never been in the Hernando Siles, I'm no fan of football (at least national football) and had never been to a concert of this magnitude with an international group like Scorpions. Finally after looking at the stadium and see the great number of people who never stop getting in this place,the show started.
First a tribute band to Queen played, I must say they were great in every way, yet the only the only band i was expecting was Scorpions and i didnt take much interest in the band that played on stage.
The lights went off!, At last! All people were screaming with excitement. The stadium lights, nearby buildings lights and the sky created the perfect setting for an evening of classic rock.
When it came time for Wind Of Change, honestly I almost start to cry, I was there in La Paz, at the concert listening to a band that I had never imagined seeing and hearing a song I never thought to listen live!. Sang, listened, took pictures, i recorded that momment in time on my phone and in my mind, it was the only thing I could do. Thanks Scorpions.
Scorpions en vivo......nada mas que decir.
Cuando hacía fila en el Estadio Hernando Siles de la Ciudad de La Paz, todavía no había caído en cuenta que en unas horas escucharía todas aquellas canciones que me recordaban diferentes cosas, pero por alguna razón, la única canción que no vino a mi mente fue Winds of Change.
Primero, nunca había estado en el Hernando Siles, no soy tan fanática del futbol (por lo menos nacional) y nunca había ido a un concierto de esta importancia con un grupo internacional como Scorpions. Al fin después de mirar el estadio y ver el gran número de personas que no dejaban de entrar, el show empezó.
Cuando llego la hora de Wind Of Change, honestamente casi me pongo a llorar, estaba ahí, en La Paz, en el concierto escuchando a una banda que nunca me hubiera imaginado ver y escuchando una canción que nunca pensé en escuchar en vivo!. Cante, escuche, saque fotos, grabar ese momento en mi celular y en mi mente fue lo único que me quedo hacer. Gracias Scorpions.

All Good (Eng and Esp)
Todas las piezas del rompecabezas han encajado en su lugar. La desesperación, angustia y depresión ya es un recuerdo distante de la época en la que me sentía atrapada por situaciones que no podía controlar al 100%. Huuuuy que doloroso es seguir el curso de la vida, a tu lado….todos los demás.
Que imposible fue sentirme libre, ya ni me reconocía. Estos días, soy libre…aunque todavía me falta una cosa más que tengo que probarme pero, no pasa nada.
Después de ordenar mi cabeza, mi vida, comencé a ordenar la vida que deje a medias …libertad, amigos, proyectos personales. En el camino, se quedaron varias personas …atrás, sufrí por unas más que por otras…la verdad, en ese momento necesitaba de ellas pero que se le puede hacer? Una vez más, libertad, todos deciden lo que quieren. Y en realidad no tengo tiempo para personas que son un peso mas en mi vida, no tengo tiempo ni ganas, esas personas me aburren, que feo es, pero me aburren y las deje atrás con mucho gusto! ….siento los hombros más relajados. Lo chistoso es que muchos se quieren subir a mi nube cuando ven que las cosas fluyen para mí, pero!, sorry very much….no tengo tiempo, tengo cosas mejores que hacer. Y de los dramas? Los de los demás son suficientes.
All the pieces snapped into place. Despair, anxiety and depression is a distant memory of the time when I felt trapped by situations that could not control a 100%. Ooooh how painful it is to follow the course of life, by your side .... All others.
It was impossible to feel free, I do not even recognize myself. These days, I'm free ... although I still have one more thing I have to try on but it’s all good.
After ordering my head, my life, I began to order the other half part of life that I left behind ... freedom, friends, personal ambitions. Along the way, several people were left ... back, I suffered for some more than others ... the truth, at that time I needed them but what can be done? Once again, freedom, everyone decides what they want. And actually I have no time for people who are no more than a weight in my life, I have no time , these people bore me, which is ugly, but I get bored and left them behind with pleasure! .... I feel more relaxed on the shoulders. The funny thing is that many wants to get on my cloud when they see things flow for me, but!, Sorry very much .... I have no time, I have better things to do.And the dramas? dramas of others are enought.
