And if you don't recognize the "dust to dust" reference - go ask your priest.<br /><br />http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WB76cYS8EhwAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11977927.post-9378015944426253162008-07-29T09:35:00.000-04:002008-07-29T09:35:00.000-04:00On September 11th, 2001, our lives had forever bee...On September 11th, 2001, our lives had forever been changed. In an effort to do their part, many people headed to church to pray, countless volunteered to give blood, and the majority of us flew flags, all in the name of showing support and uniting our Country.<BR/>I took to the piano and wrote a song for those whom had fallen and the ones they left behind.<BR/><BR/>My brother Dave added to the honor by creating a presentation which I offer for you now, to view and reflect.<BR/>I hope you watch this tribute and decide to send it to everyone you know, and who knows, maybe it will go around the world and give that certain someone who is still grieving, the closure they so desperately want and need.<BR/><BR/>http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GkOcUBezito<BR/> <BR/>Long live the Red, White and Blue.<BR/>Daniel JAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11977927.post-24722797417654823502008-04-12T08:29:00.000-04:002008-04-12T08:29:00.000-04:00I have written a song entitled: 9/11 Building 7......I have written a song entitled: 9/11 Building 7...

I still remember where I was when I first heard it. It was a day or two after the Grammy's when he first played it. I was driving and nearly crashed because I was so engrossed. It was about 6 weeks after Sep 11, so everything was still raw.Eaglehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09670482386032236470noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11977927.post-61753493327350809012007-09-19T09:22:00.000-04:002007-09-19T09:22:00.000-04:00Phantom,I think Springsteen's effort was the whole...Phantom,<BR/><BR/>I think Springsteen's effort was the whole album, not just the one song. I agree that he could have exhibited more anger, but I was willing to cut him some slack because I think he was clearly genuinely affected by what happened and responded well. <BR/><BR/>He didn't feel the need to bash America and supported the military action in Afghanistan.<BR/><BR/>Have you listened to the whole album? I don't like every song, but there are some excellent songs. Into The Fire, Nothing Man and The Rising are all about firemen. Empty Sky is the most angry he is on the album. Maybe it fails, but he did try. You're Missing still gets me as does Countin on a Miracle, although I think the music's not quite right (something he may feel because he's reworked it a few times since). <BR/><BR/>I don't want to overly defend Springsteen, but I do think he made a full effort with the album.Eaglehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09670482386032236470noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11977927.post-3573643490625367282007-09-11T00:53:00.000-04:002007-09-11T00:53:00.000-04:00Two very powerful songs to come from 9/11 are both...Two very powerful songs to come from 9/11 are both by Irish groups:<BR/><BR/>"Christmas in New York" by the Yonkers' based band Shilelagh Law off their "Together in the End" Album. http://www.halfthebottle.com/buy.htm<BR/><BR/>And "New York's Damn Bravest" by Brian DeVale off his "Raise Your Glass" albulm. http://www.lyricsandsongs.com/song/628471.htmlRight in Bay Ridgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12759944139743271524noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11977927.post-47824724775443893632007-09-11T00:52:00.000-04:002007-09-11T00:52:00.000-04:00This comment has been removed by the author.Right in Bay Ridgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12759944139743271524noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11977927.post-30413414142840490572007-09-10T12:49:00.000-04:002007-09-10T12:49:00.000-04:00McCartneyForgot about that one.
