865. The Unforgettable Fire by U2 (1985)

An art exhibit by survivors from Hiroshima and Nagasaki inspired "The Unforgettable Fire." In 1945, the United States dropped two atom bombs on Japan ending World War II. The blasts destroyed both Hiroshima and Nagasaki and left deep emotional scars on the survivor. Some parlayed their experience into art and U2 transformed that material into a spacy period piece. Although released in April, this song always reminds me of winter.
