Alright! My latest favourite song, from the German heavy metal band, the Scorpions! Now when I did some research about this song, I was super disappointed! This song never reached any top tracks or subtle praises, but what it has reached, is the top of my list of track favourites, which in all honesty, is not much, but this is just a fantastic song! Now the first thing you need to know about this song is that it was released on Crazy World, in 1990, meaning that it's still fairly recent. Crazy World is considered the last of the classic Scorpions albums, why? Simply because it's the last album to feature Francis Buchholz, the bassist in the classic lineup. Now I find the whole so be quite attractive, but what really appeals to me is the vocal work. The guitar's great, classic Rudolph Schenker and Matthias Jabs lead and rhythm work, bass work is great, creates a lovely power feel in the main riff, and the drums are heavy and blunt, which I love to hear. The vocal work is just great though, the smooth vocal work on the chorus contrasts beautifully with the verse and bridge, not to mention the lyrics, which don't speak "stalker" to me, I see it as just plain lust and longing. I've never been one for songs about heaven and hell, but this one just speaks to me, I hope you enjoy.
So the Scorpions are officially my favourite band, and this song is just exquisite. The way they contrast the intro, verse, and chorus is one thing that many bands unsuccessfully attempt to succeed in, but this song has exhibited that the Scorpions can do this style flawlessly. Believe in Love was released in 1988, on Savage Amusement, love that album title, and is a pretty standard Scorpions song, lyrics by Klaus Meine (vocalist), music by Rudolph Schenker (rhythm/lead guitarist). If you enjoy soft metal, then this song is the epitome of metal love songs, and Schenker does a fabulous job with the lead, I just love the sound. If you concern yourself with the meaning, it's pretty simple, love is worth pursuing, and maybe you can achieve that happiness that most spend their entire lives searching for, that's my take.
