I'm a former music theory nerd (having been a music major) and the way I just glazed over the music theory section haha. But I just came back to comment on The Unforgettable Fire. That album (cassette tape) made such a huge impression on me as a teenager. That atmospheric opening track took me places! I don't think I appreciate how much I loved that album because of my total disdain for their releases after The Joshua Tree, which I already didn't love as much. But now, I wanna go listen to it again.
Oh yeah, that opening track is what eventually drew me in to the album, and is still probably my favorite U2 song (after "All I Want Is You," which just has a whole bunch of extra-musical associations).

Cool soundtrack and chord progression!
