radio would not play berlin that is why they are not more well known but radio would not stop playing hags like madonna, janet jackson and whiteny houston.
these were the hags everyone was sick of before grunge came about.
another good thing about the 1980s was the goofy words like hip (1960s) and lame (1970s) were long faded out of use and never spoken. who brought these hippy, scag words back anyways, 60 year old scags and their grandchildren?.
berlin was great terri always sang good and was easy on the eyes.

This is the problem with 'Take My Breath Away' which is a classic and I will always love it, it's truly something special, but it means all the other got ignored. Record companies were shit at promoting talented bands back then, and radio would only play the biggest hit so the record-buying company would ignore/not give a toss about the rest and look to the latest offering, and so a band as promising as Berlin gets termed one hit wonder and no one knows their others songs apart from real fans.
This song caught my fascination when I was in high school in the late 90's. I grew up with bands like Berlin and Depeche Mode (both of my parents were very New Wave) but somehow this song slipped under the radar. When I heard it again in high school it just seemed like the lyrics called out to me. Teenage angst, I know, but I find it just as enjoyable now 10 years later as I did then.
i have always thought that berlin had a great balance between the L.A. sound and the European sound there is something special about berlin, i think they sound more euro than US most of the time but my perception could be different from others?
@gillenpantera until very recently i thought that they were from New York.... 'cause NYC is often the best middle cross between America & Europe (Berlin-London-Scandinavia) ...so 2b this far (LA)...it don't stop them to deliver a deviant sort of european new wave..."alors Bravo!" they understand it & mixed it very well with some american inspired sounds ...at least in their 2 last 80s lp's... 3/4 of their singles are a real fresh new discovery for me ... what a potential partially lost!
I love this song but looking back its weird they would have picked this one to make a video with....they might have done "Heartstrings" or " Pink and Velvet"....Terri Nunn is an amazing singer and performer in anything she does...she was the original Princess Leia in Star Wars and turned it down ....
actually in the 80s there where alot ppl who where fed up with these and other bands, like heavy metal, long haired and screaming madonnas, thats why the grundge scene exploded remember?
I am so glad to have been around in the 80's! The music was so much better than today's. Todays kids don't know what they were missing. Berlin was, and still is one of my favorite bands. and Terri Nunn was absolutely magic! Long live the 80's!!
@1955porsche Now that is where you are wrong. You are talking about the mainstream of course, but there is bands around that are quite popular and that they have their own distinctive sounds.
@NashNY don't get me wrong, i LOVE berlin, always have, but were a pretty forgettable band, no one i kno has every heard of them, until i mention take my breath away... which wasnt even their song
@NashNY LOL And to think I said that about your generation ! Every decade has had good stuff mixed with some truly awful stuff. If your a slave to commercial radio ,then you are doomed to hear the truly awful stuff. It's whats popular with kids that were never raised on a decent variety of good music. The Internet is the key to finding some extremely good talent in the here and now . Places like Last.FM and Jamendo .
@NashNY It's perfectly good. I've been hating the popular hits since 7th grade, so I turned to the music of the past and discovered how much I truly love 80's music.
I really wish "take my breath away" wasn't a hit! It's a great song but after it people lost interest and missed out on this and "like flames" so Berlin never really stayed in the public eye in such a big way.
i love this song, im currently producing some songs for some one and im trying to get some new wave in there so this is the perfect model! when its finished i will let him hear this!
Terri Nunn's voice is absolutely awesome! If you listen to each song, her voice, while still the same is different for each song. This lady puts her entire being into all she sings. Would be very awesome to see her make a comeback and start making albums again.
Imma Rock - Blues freak but the first time i watched Berlin on MTV back in the early 80's Terri spun my head around! I had to wonder to myself How did i or how could i have ignored a band such as Berlin? The woman is just to phenominal
Brings back memories. What was the album this was from?

the 80s were just hip, kool,and a major blast,,, real talent, seems like most died,,
