Orchestral Manoeuvres In The Dark - Enola Gay (His story)

in blurtmusic •  last year  (edited)

Hello, gentlemen. Today I am going to use this article to recreate through music some historical moments from the time we live in today, including the act that dealt the final blow to World War II. We use music today to refresh our historical knowledge. We used this 1980's TE-MA-ZO synth for this. Once we are aware of its internal narrative, we can evaluate it from a different angle. Let's listen to it in its original version first, and then at the end, with subtitles.

If you'll excuse me, I wanted to dedicate today's section to my friend Manu, an aviation enthusiast who will undoubtedly follow us from heaven. Enola Gay was the name of an airplane, and since we are going to talk about airplanes among other things, I wanted, if you'll excuse me, to dedicate today's section to my friend Manu. You deserve it Manuel. Wait, maybe the latter means that the good Manu died. He is an airline pilot, so I say that he will certainly follow us from the air. Who knows? Maybe the section post will catch you at work, in heaven of course.

OMD, also known as Orchestral Maneuvers in the Dark, released the single Enola Gay in 1980, which became an immediate hit. It starts with a keystroke that instantly identifies you. We are very easy to catch and we enjoy it right away when we hear it, dancing to the fullest. The song's anti-war lyrics describe how World War II ended when a Boeing B-29 Superfortress bomber named "Enola Gay" after its pilot dropped the first atomic bomb on the civilian population of the city of Hiroshima. On August 6, 1945, (Japan).

It is believed that between 50,000 and 100,000 people perished on the day of the explosion, so it seems that all the inhabitants of the province of Soria and a few more people disappeared from the face of the earth. In an area of 10 km2, the city was destroyed. The explosion was felt more than 60 km away. The buildings of the city were reduced to ruins in two thirds of the cases. A 7 kilometer radius around ground zero was consumed for three days by fires caused by the intense heat. As a result of this atomic bombing, Japan capitulated and World War II came to an end.
