Unforgettable Fire

Does anyone know what U2's song The Unforgettable Fire is about? There was a show about the atomic bombing of Japan years back in Chicago with the same title, and obviously the album has the same title, but just curious if anyone has heard any explanation about how the title of that show came to be the title of what seems to be a ...love song?
Scody nailed it.
As an aside: all of the U2 fans I know — myself included — consider this their greatest album. It's wonderful.
Of course, "all of the U2 fans I know" basically means the same friends and family who've shared a passion for the group with me for the past twenty plus years.
We also like the stuff they did as The Passengers.
