"Always Somewhere" comes from Lovedrive, the Scorpions' sixth album, released in 1979, and it's a Rudolf Schenker and Klaus Meine song: Schenker wrote the music and plays guitar, Meine wrote the words and sings. Matthias Jabs is the other electric guitar, Francis Buchholz plays bass and Herman Rarebell drums, and Dieter Dierks produced.
Lovedrive is where the German band locked in their formula, hard rock set against melodic ballads, and some critics call it the peak of their career. It was their first album on Harvest in Europe and Mercury in North America after they left RCA, and their commercial breakthrough: it got to number 55 on the Billboard album chart, which none of the previous five had touched, and it was their first album to chart in Britain.
