capital bank should have no harm in costa, in billing is simply a love song to the city. and pretty soon everyone was talking about it. it had real you when potentials look inside some level, some of the owners just saying all proof of by now, but i myself have this loaning feeble, and i have to go back at least once a year and that was done. but then isn't trying to say as to the classic cost. marlena de tweak was born in berlin and then to new one. she started her career as a model and became a star playing lula and the blue angels. moving to hollywood and 1933, she became somewhat of a style icon, was openly by sexual and distance herself from nazi germany, the value of who kaufman bodies attack us opposite side is we're going to beat us and that's what i think you have. it got phase and had to get them. i mean, it needs to be to and i'm guessing, being in the, the home up to like, some people told me that you and yahoo,

best thing this big loose fact as the the alias usually have lower angle fun cups. this foods of publicity, i understand. but some saw her as a traitor. the star holds a special police in the heart of berlin. dry queen gabby tupa, gabby regularly don't wait until pat to play the diva. part of the repertoire is the song qualifying for the very beginning. but at that time, berlin was the european city to go to the stomach. but there was also this feeling that it's impossible to really live in berlin, that you'd rather just have a suitcase their visit, occasionally look at the nice things because let's face it time. anyone who has lived in berlin for a while now as you can really each want to some model and kind of just of pressing the dry clean, regularly hosts walking 2 or 3 berlin following and marlena, the police footsteps from the house. she grew up in ensure in a bag to her grief and the so called artist symmetry shapes

off the the don't checking them attacked, burdens pump, stomach flats. how's it? some of marlene dietrich so they can see the vast collection includes over $3000.00 items of clothing, including dietrich's, original and legendary suitcases foot . because that does that, you want it sent to g. always traveled with about 60 suitcases on the month with her initials they were extremely heavy, voiding the high school or tennessee at us. and these all have cases from the fifties and sixties. and you can see where she's been by the hotels because her suitcase is actually still travel, but it is they can be seen at various tech submissions size. and one of them was my job isn't as a in the vast every marlena dietrich exhibit features some kind of luggage. it

wasn't the capex to go down and her story is taking the stage once again. that's the turn linden. unless wellbeing out punish. to is directing a play about the film diva the it's titled marlena in hollywood told us we'll hit send that email in and email them telling the story of how marlena always stay german state, prussian state of berlin or this hudson and our hearts stayed in the right place what they say in berlin died in the kind of bridge for germany to reintegrate into a community of shared values, funding them live because through the life of 1000000 of detroit, the world so that there was another germany besides nazi yes. then go back in berlin, gabby to keeps the legacy of the queer icon to live with one of her most famous songs

the sign in z z z by using long. 7 on the 2nd, so in our list is a smash hit to compose, to berlin. he lives by david bowie, the berlin in the late seventy's. it was a divided cities. david bowie was living in west berlin, where he wrote, arguably one of his best songs in the shadow of the berlin wall. he rose and hands on the plate in a central room for berlin's music scene, the

russell david bowie. bowie's heroes is certainly the most unique song i know concerning berlin, hannah, it's relevant because he lived in berlin for some time, a uh, it was written here in building and the, at the here. and how do you really help shape the music scene here? seeing here mission or not here please. all for me to pick top of the song and onto it, had a particular attitude, which is what berlin is, one about a dozen to bring it to you to them from the musical history of the identity of especially staff to protect the thought we can. we make a long way up until then voted him wasn't known as a musical city. so people voted on the musical map zeros. it's a definitely a funeral. this is such an iconic berlin song song with some apollo on which it has such power. and yet it says we're a divided city, but we haven't previous twilio and couldn't, couldn't clinics. it gives me goosebumps every time, but it gives the hook me thinking this nicely got when david bowie arrived in berlin, he was already a superstar. he made the move in search of anonymity and to overcome his good

candidates when we recorded the solomon and legend refunds us to use great holes in the summer of 1977. together with producer tony visconti and signed engineer at what maya, who remembers the time funding the gun. and i enjoyed working with him in studio and the sun was created in the studio tony visconti while we had us tony visconti and, and tony, i'm us, who were both part of the production is to leave him alone for an hour to be. and so the 2 of them went for a walk to know to the wall a line and bowing, gazed out, and saw a couple of walking along, holding each other types. oh boy, nissan dix 5. and i'm sorry, but that's what inspired the lyrics, thinking that's how it's being here. if it isn't true, we lived here. i've help sponsor 155 in the front of the district.

it really became a home for me then in that time it was a good place to be enjoyed because there seemed to be such a lot happening in the time fans full to berlin to see the legendary hundreds of students to this day to meet is guided tours of the rooms that are stick to music history. the construct to go in and others were inspired by the brokenness of the city, of the special location of the studios to be called right by the wall and the most special place to record what some of them this you do still have as many as the original instrument to use and the recording of david bowie's album, he lives fuels. heroes is a very special song for a lot of people because it radiates hope. all so that's definitely present in the song on my come see you can apply the today towards to a kronos christ easy the we will be here will stuff for one day of the song is also known from the film christiana, as based on the book of the same name,

the movie betrays a life of the 13 year old christie on that s. a great day. the boyfriend who 1st prize had ruined after attending one of his concerts. by 14, she is addicted to drugs and working as a sex worker. the film's entire 2nd tract is made of a boy, we choose, the musician even agreed to appear in the film, the custom that is coming home. and what i find so disturbing is how many people say they started using drugs because of the film, or maybe the music, and that's a good calm, but that's the opposite of what they really wanted to show. i just finished the stuff, it's don, sweet friends or i, but they wanted to show how dark and silent that life is. i can be it's awesome. do

you have, just as i mean, there's an overdosed 100 by $400.00 points up until vita here it was health christiana, directed by you to cheap cult status. it also played a key role in attracting musicians from all over the world to berlin. the case in point youtube creek is over next legendary song, 1 november 1989. the fall of the portland roll for the people of nice, berlin and east germany. the dream of freedom was finally coming. true families worked and united a whole country was overjoyed in october of 1990 youtube was a tons of studios working on their 7th, all them off tomb baby. the album represented a major shift for the band,

just like the major events taking place in the unified term. come, everyone can agree to love at least one song. you have at least one song that you think is great. and i think for a lot of people, that song is one of 2 babies. one of the finest moments in my opinion, and one is like that is somebody that's probably the best on the other real crews. the bands have written a song like this with i was experiencing berlin. the 1st video of one shot in the great hall and on the streets of berlin, gives an idea of how strongly the band was influenced by the historic moment. that was the fault of the berlin wall. easier. his other thoughts to an expression youtube just found themselves in the situation that was the new berlin, which still have very few rules. and last thing was the start of the tech. no

wonder that tronic music scene and acting baby turned out to be a very electronic automobile cuz of their own accounts. that took them almost 2 weeks to get something usable and megabytes. and that turned out to be one plus one . you 2 in drag. this performance of the band into a fever meant to trouble the well intentioned, with proceeds from the song going to support each research the gate community felt it fed into the stereotype that kids exclusively disease of game and the video by on tongue corbin was not well received it's been day of oppose, it seems that that's in yon i've been positive for over 10 years. i'll find out here from i've also lost friends to aids marked spot to type toilet. i like just bundle may be a totally quite ally and supporter. but it's just not one of those i started for the say, but and trust me so hard to if i don't, i think that's what bother to get community. and me to this day he got the question is how seriously are they being taken? if they, to some extent, making a joke with themselves,

and i'm just very about just if i place at least the 3rd and final video for the song with shots in a bar in new york and choose bono. and i kind of dialogue with himself. it's now considered the official video of one and has around a 150000000 views on youtube. the one more compelling to actually still drops by now, dental, uniform payments here and the studios in the hall to just a few weeks or months ago when is that the connection is still there. you up cuz this is in 20 o. 9. during the 20th anniversary of the fall of the wall, youtube performed at the brandenburg gate and in 2017 volume on the edge give us a price concert on the berlin subley on the youtube lane, of course. where else? the next on our list of berlin songs, the german song by a we'll berlin band because

b vi. c, one was done when the song was released in 21, when berlin to become more unified and life in the capital, felt more casual during this time and live in young man, mostly from west berlin. once i got together to produce a whole new site and one that was a lot on dr. my walk dog example the stick to see because be by seed was i think the 1st moment in the history of music coming out of but later we just knew right away. this is going to be magic. this is going to be big because they can see, i mean, yeah, that's the biggest pay for them. i think. so i'd be got a, this were kind of wild and we think we're pretty hot off the car. colton. 2 boxes you think that's over? come from the gt then you don't get burned in human. had some kids that have been

in the home one that has done this time saw song that's a monument to my city. see, dick has be, gets a big thumbs up for me to come down from. yeah. the song celebrates fairly with oh, that's rough inches. the video was directed by berlin bass. daniel, how do you know who has no show 10 videos for the band called out best the next month, either on songs or 1000000000. so we have a song about berlin. we have these hip, good looking guys. i thought i thought, let's just walk around all these locations. what don't know if inside and i definitely wanted to show some distinctive, barely, and areas, and side side, and always be on the move. i'm a buyer's front of this home. so keep orders for the, the, to me, that's the vibe of the song. and then dad home gave 11 men hit the time when the bound bridge, the museum island. unimportant part of the video,

dancing together to the berlin, back ranked one thing off the ball. i'm about to want to go off, so hold on. i'm walk sure. you know if we should know my record to the book in front of me, she might have always found the bridge. beautiful, because it shows berlin's waterways ending up here blinking, i think berlin has more purchased in venice. does that have to be in? i think the movie, that's what we hung also did i find the cathedral and everything around there simply beautiful in front of me. so i have to turn the song white, so that was all about diversity, a plaintive dance whole ricky, hip hop and scar, a completely new sign. that was a swab. a student definitely gave to band. the big break as an in the video was getting played, which was important back then that there was a video at all vistas that was kept the notation and to introduce you to the band showed who they were at the band. well, forrester, the song was also great if it's still a crowd pleaser, even when they play live. now,

something of whether the for lose or other like shoes, seed or among the more successful german life bands of all time, the concerts regularly so that their song dick is b, one of their top hits. then we will not stop leap when you live in a city like this. you really feel of what's going on. that is why not leading the son of mine? it's only natural that a song about the city can leap outs and cut you off guard. i don't mind buying, stay and con as a business email. that's not all sunshine. it's a top city view. as always on this as all the hottest on. it's definitely getting tougher. see my how to now to our fit song for rather trend which is noun world why he does a berlin hun 7 sky and signed by d. j. paul called when it was released in 20 o 8 events like the love parade and clubs like back kind of a cheat berlin's image as a party city. this is where paul called brent grew up and got involved in the c.

now he is one that berlin's most successful duties and music producers evict so it folks, many memories of summer sunshine, the outdoors. and i don't know who we all the truck is kind of said yes, a clip truck. but you know, kind of back to the phone, i'll talk to him about that. all co brand new sky inside his most a well known as a 2nd track for the field burden calling. feeling about the d. j in the berlin nightlight, kind of shed. uh, what's the director dolling calling in the ninety's and the 2000 and this was the other 2 to life life in the cities that was constantly in flux. that's an honor kick city. i'm an officer. start off on business, just as a junior wards lives often dis vibrant berlin city coming together is on the box. and that's what i wanted to show this way. these type of bundle plays dakota

similar to a not yet successful gigi who uses a lot of drugs, sheets on his girlfriend and has a breakdown. paul was actually only meant to write the same track and advise the director as 5 years. and that was actually just a consultant. he wants to know how a guy like this lives. what he does all day must be well because you do anything with oh, i thought he said you should put him yourself. i must be called printers. gave you as an act or help the film games enter. now tional success. i'm getting a cold following as to the track sky incense, which only ended up in the film by chance. sky, the send button is concerned, was not supposed to be in the film of my pock. i put in the got power cock brunner gave me a us be stick donuts with the trucks. and he had produced that we had talked about when done, but it was one time we haven't talked about this before. who bought it, had the photos like this. i know, i listen to it. some thoughts. this is actually really interesting. come less than se, then i said, why don't we do the bar 25?

seen what sky and sun holes on the track or by pose brothers fitness within the film, policies. a chris singing and dancing to the track and the legendary club bar 25 mission of ship them soon. just as what's always bugging me is that except for documentaries and i've never nothing was seen on offensive tons seen. and i found them where people are just raving in a club for to take them coup, raven with that, that was super important to us and some kind of fits and those are truly sets. we shouldn't real party. so there's 2 parties of the me to tell me are 25 clues and 2010, but it's the legacy lives on. today and actress village is located there, which is officially opened as a cooperative in 2017. and no matter which generation is partying, drugs won't be disappearing from fairlance night, but any time soon, human light avoided exploit. young people want to experience extreme. like it was like that for me. and it's always going to be highly,

sometimes you shouldn't approach a subject like that with a white and finger emmonds are good, but actually look at the reality and not just the negatives and each box might so what is the burden signed up today? is there one sign that defines the city? what does the music industry think? y'all have a name, steve bennett, and represent so many things. and it definitely stands for electronic music and tax notes. this also rock and roll pon rabbit bully. anyone who wants to combine real that 2 to one genre, somebody conte, the kindness and what the musical legacy will hands a studio was leave behind the owner, 200 students. what. what did inclusive, without hundreds of studios, i think berlin wouldn't have had the same impact on music history. and i'm, was it, or even the music scene today, hippa, there was

a time when the city sun was rough and edging musician and former bar or north coast funds, expedients system. so in the seventy's and eighty's, and we'll talk about it. yes, i was informed that earlier on the sound of berlin was definitely dirty. it was sometimes cru, sometimes really funny when the lots and i think today it's good much more towards commercial success toward sales for the asking me, i was little punks. but then we put out a record and didn't care about anything else. so i called as a vehicle in punk style, much on the side, we didn't care if anybody bought us or not, of you and somebody off that the not close to an issue. so what does the future hold? well, berlin still be a place for musicians can afford to live and express their creativity. 3 or 4 with the you for you and freedom that basically anyone can do anything here that slowly being lost desk because just finding a place to live,

it's impossible to him kind. i'm in the mood. if in that, as i'm kind of on, you can come to the end thinking i want to build something up here. it can just as easily one of you months, you can get low here. they've been all songs written about phone tomatoes, how lovely you can get in a big city like berlin. i think that story telling is a big part of it. story telling this the old berlin, where anything was possible, no matter how crazy, there's probably no more such an uber, letting me instead the emerging somewhere else entirely. the new berlin is happening of elsewhere east. what's right? because what happens there is there is a replication. berlin was initially after the 2nd level, and if they play that cods right, they will be able to create something very interesting. we're talking about some place like box model, something like this, you know, really wasn't due for lindsay in ukraine. berlin continues to change the city of

culture and music, and it remains exciting to see and hear what's coming. that starts on the field for today by and see you next time, the
