This was U2's fourth album. (Under a blood red sky was a mini album.) This album got a great link to their spirituals fire (Elvis Presley and Martin Luther King). The songs Pride (In the name of love) and MLK are written as hyme for Martin Luther King, who was shot death in that time. The name Unforgettable Fire was inspired by a collection of gruesomely graphic paintings and drawings by the survivors of Hiroshima and Nagasaki which had been exhibited at the Peace Museum in Chicago.
