A SONG 4 ALL 2 REFLECT WITH 2DAY Yeah, it's a post on 9/11 - but I didnt deem what I wanted 2 put across as anthing intrinsically political. So any responses should be personally reflective I guess. The GD forum seemed the best place 4 this.
MY friend lost his partner in the attack - He was on the 2nd plane that hit, and another friend was working 4 Reuters in one of the towers, and had (thank GOD) left New York a few hours previously. By the time she had returned 2 London, and grabbed about 2 hours sleep - the phone was ringing off the hook...as u can imagine, that took her some getting over. Anyway - I've said way more than I wanted 2 already, the song says everything 4 us 2day all I think... If u need a good cry - this will do it 4 u. Thanx, 'nana CLICK HERE: http://mcms-delivery.virt...D10E05472A *Real Player required. (footnote - this song was recorded approx six months prior 2 the attacks) | |

Walk On And love... It's not the easy thing The only baggage That you can bring Not the easy thing The only baggage you can bring Is all that you can't leave behind And if the darkness is to keep us apart And if the daylight feels like it's a long way off And if your glass heart should crack Before the second you turn back Oh no, be strong Walk on Walk on What you got, they can't steal it No they can't even feel it Walk on Walk on Stay safe tonight You're packing a suitcase for a place None of us has been A place that has to be believed To be seen You could have flown away A singing bird In an open cage Who will only fly Only fly for freedom Walk on Walk on What you got You can't deny it Can't sell it or buy it Walk on Walk on You stay safe tonight And I know it aches How your heart it breaks You can only take so much Walk on Walk on Home Hard to know what it is If you never had one Home I can't say where it is But I know I'm going Home That's where the heart is And I know it aches And your heart it breaks You can only take so much Walk on Leave it behind You've got to leave it behind All that you fashion All that you make All that you build All that you break All that you measure All that you feel All this you can leave behind All that you reason All that you care It's only time And I'll never fill up all my mind All that you sense All that you scheme All you dress up And all that you see All you create All that you wreck All that you hate... | |

Garth Brooks The Dance
Looking back on the memory of The dance we shared 'neath the stars above For a moment all the world was right How could I have known that you'd ever say goodbye And now I'm glad I didn't know The way it all would end the way it all would go Our lives are better left to chance I could have missed the pain But I'd of had to miss the dance Holding you I held everything For a moment wasn't I a king But if I'd only known how the king would fall Hey who's to say you know I might have changed it all And now I'm glad I didn't know The way it all would end the way it all would go Our lives are better left to chance I could have missed the pain But I'd of had to miss the dance Yes my life is better left to chance I could have missed the pain but I'd of had to miss the dance | |

Not a lot to say about tomorrow. Giving it too much of my time and energy gives the negative forces behind the tragedy too much power, so the best way I can think of to commemmorate the lives lost and the damage done is to carry on with life, since I'm lucky enough to still be alive.
As former New Yorker, I had only been living in Chicago for a few months when 9/11 happened, and I was still having trouble adjusting to life in the Midwest and hadn't completely disconnected from my life in New York - when 9/11 happened, it tore me apart - I felt helpless - all my friends were out there - for Christ's sake, I used to WORK in the financial district - chances are overwhelming that if I had stayed in NYC, I'd be in a subway car under the WTC when it happened... ...but the fact is, I wasn't. I was in Chicago. And all my friends in NYC are fine. Only one of my friends came even barely close to the chaos, and she didn't get hurt at all. While I know far too many people have a reason to mourn tomorrow, I am lucky. I can celebrate the fact that everyone around me survived. I can celebrate the fact that New York pulled together afterwards, and I'm so proud of everyone I know out there for their bravery and perserverance. Like I said - I feel if I am anything but positive tomorrow, I give the terror too much power. I have the luxury to do so. I send warm vibes out to those who, as fate might have had it, do not have that luxury. | |

Tears For Fears - Memories Fade
There's only need I love your need So much I'm losing me I cannot see the reason for the Pain With hungry joy I'll be your toy Just hoping you will play Without hope my body starts to fail Memories fade but the scars still linger Goodbye my friend Will I ever love again Memories fade but the scars still linger I cannot grow I cannot move I cannot fell my age The vice like grip of tension holds me fast Engulfed by you What can I do When History's my cage Look foward to a future in the past The more I talk The more I say The less you seem to hear I'm speechless in a most peculiar way Your mind is weak Your need is great And nothing is too dear For you to use to take the Pain away Memories Fade No don't pretend you can justify the end Memories fade but the scars still linger | |
