Die Wende (German pronunciation: [diː ˈvɛndə], The Change or The Turn) marks the complete process of the change from the rule of the socialist Socialist Unity Party of Germany and centrally planned economy to parliamentary democracy and market economy in East Germany around the years 1989 and 1990. It encompasses several processes and events which later have become synonymous with the overall process. These processes and events are:
In hindsight, the German word Wende (meaning "change", "turning point") then took on a new meaning; the phrase Seit der Wende, literally "since the change", means "since reunification" or "since the Wall fell". This period is marked by West German aid to East Germany, a total reaching an estimated $775 billion over 10 years. To some extent, Germany is still in the midst of the "Nachwendezeit" (post-Wende period): differences between East and West still exist, and a process of "inner reunification" is not yet finished.
This "turning point" has marked the reunification of Germany. The term was first used publicly in East Germany on 18 October 1989 in a speech by interim GDR leader Egon Krenz (the term having been used on the cover of influential West German news magazine Der Spiegel two days previously). Whilst it initially referred to the end of the old East German government, Die Wende has become synonymous with the fall of the Wall and of the East German state, and indeed of the entire Iron Curtain and Eastern Bloc state socialism.
David Bowie ( /ˈboʊ.i/ BOH-ee; born David Robert Jones on 8 January 1947) is an English musician, actor, record producer and arranger. A major figure for over four decades in the world of popular music, Bowie is widely regarded as an innovator, particularly for his work in the 1970s. He is known for his distinctive voice and the intellectual depth and eclecticism of his work.
Bowie first caught the eye and ear of the public in July 1969, when his song "Space Oddity" reached the top five of the UK Singles Chart. After a three-year period of experimentation he re-emerged in 1972 during the glam rock era with the flamboyant, androgynous alter ego Ziggy Stardust, spearheaded by the hit single "Starman" and the album The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars. Bowie's impact at that time, as described by biographer David Buckley, "challenged the core belief of the rock music of its day" and "created perhaps the biggest cult in popular culture." The relatively short-lived Ziggy persona proved merely one facet of a career marked by continual reinvention, musical innovation and striking visual presentation.

Will you be there when the fire turns ardour
'cause it is more than a flame of the night
will you be there when the sun is goin' down for good
will you take care that it's alright
My friends and I were in a party mood
'cause we were sick of all that solitude
I saw you first down in your favourite club
bought you a drink and showed you what I've got
and you loved me till I cried
Will you be there when the fire turns ardour
'cause it is more than a flame of the night
will you be there when the sun is going down for good
will you take care that it's alright
I'm so afraid that you will leave again
my soul was searching for a suchlike man
a one-night-stand was what I had in mind
now my emotions give me difference signs
will you hold me when I cry
Will you be there when the fire turns ardour
'cause it is more than a flame of the night

will you be there when the sun is going down for good
will you take care that... will you take care that
