♡h my goodness! ... 💎

I remember my history teacher playing this song for us during our unit on the Cold War while showing slides of Hiroshima victims to drill into us to fight tooth and nail against another use of nuclear weapons against our fellow human beings. Thank you, Ms. Conway. The US has a lot to answer for but never forget that so many of us here will never, ever stop fighting for peace.

Moved.... God bless Ms Conway and others of her ilk including you....

We have weapons now that in one blow can utterly outdo all weapons ever used in all past wars, we have hundreds of these, all pointed at each other, for world peace.
We are a fucked up species.

An underrated S&G song.

Wow!  That took an abrupt and ugly turn!

duo magnifique !! ils sont inoubliables
!!

Ironic because Japan is the Land of the Rising Sun

I had this album on 4 track tape (that was before 8-track, cassettes, cds)...

I hope the next Fallout (apart from 76) uses this as it's trailer song.

C a r s a n d v e h i c l e s

This is like, The Enigma of Amigara Fault of songs.

8/6 never forget

perfect harmony

A criminally underrated song.

This is one of my favorite songs of all time.

Trump's sun is fading in the West. Mushroom clouds will follow.

One day you're going to look back on this comment and realize what a gaslit moron you were

not really, the ones with the big red buttons aren't slaves to the orangutan

2 years and still going strong ...😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

@Charlie Bent For some values of strong...

Thank You RemarkableLoser For the Song.

Luke Kelly sang this song too!

His is way better and his voice lets you know more of its horrors. Passion and Compassion.

For God's sake, get over it, you whiny chumps. It's the way of the world, now ain't it? Get used to it. Or some get some stronger weed.

Advocating for peace isn't socially acceptable anymore. Remember the last time things got that way?

For the first couple years after I heard this song I never figured out what it was about. Then one day I got it. Chills....

First time I heard this, I thought I'd be able to relax and think happy thoughts.

I was wrong. So very wrong.

Same with me..

I have to cry and whenever I hear it.

Hello SATAN 👋🏼

Whelp, that escalated quickly

I love you S&G

This song always makes me think of "Imagine." Both use lovely melodies and soothing tones while describing hell on earth.

Imagine by John Lennon? That doesn’t describe hell on earth

@Leo Flaherty Except that it does.

Similar to another song of theirs, "A Most Peculiar Man."

Best song they ever wrote....

It is a very good song but it was written by Ian Campbell

kathys song

JESUS CHRIST THIS IS CREEPIER THAN "EVIL FOOD EATER CONCHITA" AND "HOTEL CALIFORNIA" TOGETHER!!! Those guys are using just a stupid acoustic guitar and yet they still managed to scare us to death!!! I know this was made at some time during the Cold War and such an images were just too real for people back then, but still, singing with a peaceful tones of guitar about Malevil-like situations?!

its actually a folk song by ian campbell

This went from 0 to 100 real quick

Yes, the very end is profound. I remember the Cold War and the fear it instilled in my generation.

I think thats the point.

so did USAF

lmao imagine just being like "whoa what a nice sunset" then your like "wait"

@Madam Pigeon yeah...and the child u held in your arms

I first heard this in 1994 when I was 13, and I still love it. No idea why S&G didn't rate it afterwards. Okay, they're not all original compositions, but they are sang and arranged brilliantly. And Wednesday Morning 3 A.M is still one of my favourite songs.

I was a Nuclear Weapons Specialist in the Air Force.This song speaks to me.

mark miller Finally, people that know about Nuclear Weapons.

I'm a human being who prefers an existence on earth opposed to the alternative. This song speaks to me.

@Tal D I've generally understood the song as a "point of view" from a civilian in the city. Everyone seems to interpret the Sun as the bomb - but I see no reason to think that. I think the Sun means the Sun. It's a normal day - the Sun is up, people are playing and walking etc...the Sun goes down, then in verse 3, it clearly says "high above a spot appears" - THAT'S the bomb. It starts small, a curiosity...then suddenly becomes big and comes fast, and it's all death.

+Raybae

yes definetly they are amazing, and so thougthful and stuff

manchesterblue2007 It's actually by Ian Campbell.

How soon we've forgotten the warning words of this song. The threat is still there...Like so many things that we should truly fear, we ignore. We never learn. The talking heads talk, the polls go up and down, and in the stark light of day we have forgotten.
