From the Sky Down documents the creation of the U2 album Achtung Baby at Hansa Studios in Berlin.
U2: From the Sky Down (part2) by u2opia100
@17:22 -- the moment of inspiration for the song One, while working on Mysterious Ways.
Achtung Baby is one of my favorite albums. I bought it at Tower Records in Harvard Square, and must have listened to it a million times in my Dunster House apartment overlooking the Charles. Songs from the album bring me back to the cold grey Cambridge and Boston of winter 1991. Nothing like the warm Berkeley sunshine I had left behind.
