It was in Australia

I like perhaps The Metro and Masquarade more...that Giorgio Moroder song I skip every time somebody tries to play it.

Simple it wasn’t in Top Gun🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

Same here mate. Always loved it

Same.

She really belts it, on this one ❤

Same. Goosebumps everywhere

Same

+William Mark Dyer True that. But then again, it has always kicked butt. I just cannot understand why this wasn't the big hit it should have been, overshadowed by the oh so boring (IMHO) - Take my breath away.. yaawwwwnnn. Don't get me wrong, Top Gun is one of my favourite movies & soundtracks, but T.M.B.A. is the worse song on that soundtrack, again, IMHO.

Meh!

+Aus80sRockRadio .....you.re so right i also thougt of this song as the better one

+Aus80sRockRadio I'm with you--TMBA is their biggest hit, but it's also the one song of theirs I absolutely cannot abide.

+phoenixnyc I don't even think that Terri likes the song either.

Agreed

EUPHORIA!!! IS my Fuel...!!! THX

Yo quiero Esa musi fa en español

Verdade! Melhor canção da banda!!!!

The best song ever!

Nobody thought much about the dangers of fire and hairspray/gel until Micheal Jackson got hurt.

Very true Michaela. Unfortunately, I think the younger generation is into the throwaway fake\autotune songs on the radio nowadays.

i’m 20 i am proud.

I’m 15 and prefer older music. I also like some new music! Not the stuff on the radio, I’ve never really liked something I heard on the radio lol. I like Berlin, Blondie, old U2, Of Monsters and Men, Florence and The Machine, and thats to name a few.

This comment was not bashing gen z or the new music nowadays by the way. I just know some great music tends to get overlooked and I wish that wasn't always the case. 😅

@@Lov3lyDay There's some fine music on some of the channels on SiriusXM.

Wow! You still got great taste !🤩👍×××

I LOVE Berlin. 'Take My Breath Away' is my least favorite of their songs. p.s. I've read that the Judas Priest song 'Reckless' was almost in the Top Gun soundtrack and if that would have happened, then my 2 favorite bands at the time would have been on the same movie soundtrack.

Live it's really epic!

"Take My Breath Away" was penned by Moroder and Thomas Whitlock, and performed by Berlin. It's very much like getting John Barry to work with the Pretenders for a Bond movie, yeah, ok, it's the band, but not their composition. This track is pure Berlin - 80's power ballad, straight up, no chaser.

It's certainly not un-noticed to me, loved this song ever since it entered the Top20 in my country in 86 😉

You are right, this is a great song and her voice is epic. Unfortunately most only know the Top Gun song and will never realize that Berlin is so much more. You Don't Know is another great song off that album.

Well said. Definitely a prophetic song.

I got a reference here in this song... Don't know if was intentional, but if was it is fkg amazing, "like flames reaching out from the sun" The sun is usually associated in conspiracy theory circles with illuminati, "sun worshipping", considering the lyrics, and visuals of this vid, is possible to interpret this as a deep and enigmatic critique against the elites that rule us, but overall the lyrics have a light message about class struggles, so it actually does even if the it is unintentional, or maybe even prophetic...

@@efxnews4776 What have been traditionally been dismissed as "conspiracy theories" are little by little being shown to be all too true. Eventually the evil Cabal will fall as do all empires in the fullness of time. It will indeed take time but people are gradually waking up evidenced by your comments and indeed mine on non "conspiracy theory" threads such as this. In my own personal life I have seen people waking up and I have been evangelising with a degree of success. I feel the Cabal are over-stretching themselves and if D.J. Trump gets back in (yes, he is the good guy, not perfect but we know why the election was stolen don't we...?) we can be positive I feel.

Is it me or is that part removed from this version/vid?

​@@jesterday2222it is not just you

I was single in USN in the 80's, had money to burn. Had this album on CD and a "portable" player. My shipmates looked at me strangerly when I maxed the volume in my headphones.

@@whirledpeaz5758 Those were the days, eh?!

И эта группа тоже в легкий рок ударялась, 😊😊

Ih, I feel the same way. Back then I was listening to Genesis and Pink Floyd and King Crimson and Brian Eno and shit, I thought pop music was dumb.

Lord Critish the 80’s rule

We all do man, we all do. I actually got to meet them in 1986 when they were just getting huge with take my breath away. And I have other stories about them. They are amazing and her voice is undeniably strong. Too bad they never became as popular as they deserved. But you know she still tours today and she’s got Dave diamond and John Crawford back. So it’s not just nostalgia, they are still making new music!

@@ricnix3547 of course that stuff is great, but the pop music was not bad at all. I always enjoyed it and I was able to appreciate so many different styles. There are great pop 80s songs and this is one of them. Too bad not enough people recognize it. I’ve said since 1982 she has got a hell of a voice and style.

yeah thats necesarry they have to learn about this amazing voice

They still tour! Love Ya!🤪👍

Wish they would come to the United Kingdom I absolutely love Berlin

Actually, last night they had a gig in Mexico City and despite the fact they didn't play this glorious tune, Berlin included, besides their tunes, cover versions of The Cult's she sells sanctuary and AC-DC's highway to hell

also Kim Wilde, Cyndi Lauper , Whitney Houston , Donna Summer, Dion Warrick , Sheena Easton

@@turrican64 Stevie Nicks, Heart, La Bouche, Kate Bush, (something Country here), etc

Ann & Nancy Wilson

yea

mikale van beek are you talking with yourself?

You´d need a VERY creative, original, educated, clever and sensitive youth in order to bring that back. Ask one of our moronic nephews to play that battery/guitar without opening garage band on his mac... hahahaha

Pedro Guillem Wise spoken. I did everything to show my nephew the way of light , since he was a baby. At one point i really thought that i could "save" him, but the influence in his bloody school and his bellends friends were stronger. Now he's 13 and...a Lady fuckin' Gaga fan. My only consolation is that he doesn't like rap. He's smart and sensitive but the whole framework doesn't help, the kids today grow up in a judgemental uptight society and their creativity and personality gets killed in the cradle. At least i'm still kind of a hero for my nephew, he can't believe how i managed to date girls as a teen..without Facebook and mobile phones ;-D

haha i just noticed that lmao

i guess they just can't believe music back then was so much more ass kicking gheghe

I have never heard this song on the radio ,I know it from a Music cassette wich i bought in 1987 it was called:Rock the night. Sorry for the Bad english, greetings from the Netherlands.

The record was uneven, and a tad darker than their previous two releases. There was also well-documented tension between Terri and John, and they weren't interested in working together afterwards. In the "Bands Reunited: Berlin" episode, Terri refers to their split as a "bad divorce," and later on, John confirms that Terri bought the name Berlin out from under him, and told him that "you'd be working for me" if he tried to use the name later, which was a huge point of contention in that he was the creative genius behind the songs. He wrote or co-wrote all of their hits except TMBA.

It didn't tank in my cassette deck, until it got worn out.

@@mr.orangejustice8629 John didn't wrote this one. It's Rob Brill who did this :)

Becouse people has bad taste simple as that. For me this album is one of the 80's best album !!

Mr. Orange Justice86 Indeed. The record is very uneven. You have 3 producers working on the album at different intervals and the album (to me) sounds very fragmented. Total lack of cohesion. But the songs are good. I can’t help believe that perhaps if Ezrin produced the whole album (sans Take my breath away) it may have done better than it did.

Yes, always makes me think that Brill should've kept writing songs for them, instead of Crawford, cuz way more depth. Sad, cuz in the end they disbanded because of the direction the rest of Berlin wanted to go, which Brill didn't agree with. That seems to be the official story at least.

scalpelli All would agree JC wrote with great depth as well. Both Brilliant if you’ll excuse the pun. But yes it’s a loss they disbanded. Glad they reunited though!

I totally agree.

Still great one of the best. 1983 my births day🙈🙈

I got to live my twenties with three great Albums by them. She is one of my 2 favorite female singers.

Shes awesome. But no joan jett

@@marcussorlie5533 Who is the other one?

Super nummer im from holland echt te gek nummer 10++++++++++++++++++++++++++++@yolo kip

menchitty11 it was a common pattern in teh 80s, bands reached mass appeal later in their career when their more diluted work became famous. Not just Berlin, but Simple Minds, Tears for Fears, REM and so forth.

Take my breath away is simply a far better song, no matter where their root is from.

Until recently Take My Breath Away was the only Berlin song I knew...and I grew up in the 80s. The song I came across recently that turned me on to more of their music was Metro... definitely much different than TMBA lol.

@@ashleyjohansson230 - like other comments on here, that's rather subjective. What Take My Breath Away had going for it was Top Gun and their love scene. Sappy love song, but definitely well written. Like Flames had a lot more energy and could have been a huge single if it had been better promoted and gotten the same airplay. It takes a couple of listens to pull you in, unlike TMBA, which most listeners first heard in the theatres. But one song isn't better than the other - they really aren't even by the same band. Only Terri Nunn participated in TMBA. The other members of Berlin aren't even on it.

Yes!!!

Powerful voice

2020 and forever ♥😁👍

Yeah, in the vid - but he didn't play guitar on the record. I think the credits for this song are to Kane Roberts. Ted Nugent and David Gilmour also played on Count III and Pray.

Oh yeah & always loved her hair black streak with the blonde f***in yeah

Made the top 20 here in Australia
