  • Alex from Oc, CaIf the singer is on the Paris Metro, how does she "emerge in London Rain" since the song was 12-13 years before the Chunnel? I've been wondering this.
  • Amy from MaIf there was ever a song that embraces the punk pop sound and vibe of the 80's, it's Metro by Berlin. I can't help but think that this song is about the allure of the soldier sleeping next to her. She's done with the old boyfriend and his lies and lame excuses. She mentions that soldier a few times and even hates her boyfriend for trying to stay in the picture.
  • David from Chicago, Ilaccording to Terri Nunn John Crawford imagined his girlfriend riding the Metro and falling in love with an Italian.
  • Theresa from Murfreesboro, TnThis band was awesome. I love their music and Terri Nunn's voice is uber-sexy.
  • Dan from Denver, CoI always felt this group was under-acclaimed. Their music was always so intense and their lyrics were usually powerful and had such great stories behind them.
  • Paul from Levy, ArThe songfact about the misheard lyric doesn't make sense. There is no such line as "Thank you for loving me" in the song. There's "I remember hating you for loving me." How could anybody mishear that as "f--k you for loving me" at all? Come on, folks...geesh... Meanwhile, I agree with others here, this is the best Berlin song and a classic!
  • Matt from Harlan, KyI wish MTV still showed good videos and good music.
  • Dave from Cardiff, WalesIt's a pity that when you mention Berlin, people automatically think of 'Take My Breath Away'. While that was a good song, they did plenty of other good stuff too...
  • Alexis from Evanston, WyI think this is definitely the best Berlin song. I love it!!!!
  • Mark from Jonesboro, ArGreat band with one of the hottest lead singers of the 80s. The Metro was just about my favorite MTV video, from back when MTV actually showed videos!
  • Gabriel from Trujillo, Venezuela- South AmericaThis song features in the Dracula 2000 Soundtrack
