*Never Forgetting... Always Remembering*In the days and weeks following the World Trade Center and Pentagon attacks on September 11, 2001, many Americans turned to music to soothe, pacify, heal, rouse and distract. It was a time when people were faced with unprecedented surges of emotion and looked, in part, to songwriters to help make sense of the changing landscape. Two landmark events -- "The Concert for New York City" and "America: A Tribute to Heroes" -- were organized after the attacks, spurring artists to write inspired new material and re-appropriate classic rock tracks to fit the current milieu.Compared to more concrete measures, the role of music in the aftermath of 9/11 may seem trite, but these two benefits helped rally a city and a country to put aside differences -- temporarily, at least -- and focused on rebuilding something as important as any physical structure: the national psyche.Today on FNS, we look back to a few of these great performances, while also looking ahead, never forgetting... always remembering.Thanks to Billboard. com"This is a prayer for our fallen brothers and sisters," Bruce Springsteen said before delivering a wrenching rendition of "My City of Ruins" from his then-upcoming album, *The Rising*. Backed by only a guitar, harmonica and some E Street Band backup singers, Springsteen originally wrote the track in 2000 for an Asbury Park, New Jersey benefit show, but its lyrics of hope and rebirth later became a rallying cry after the attacks.#WTC #RRHK #NeverForget

The thing about this song is hope! 9/11 was a horrible event. So was Sandy, and the event in New Zealand, and the terrible events in Haiti and Japan. The thing is, we "people" of the world need to unite and care for each other. Not because some church or government tells us to, just because it's the RIGHT thing to do.

This was 2001...they reunited for their big Reunion tour in 1999 and it went through 2000.

Bruce Fredrick

It wasn't about a break up. He wrote this for his adopted home city of Asbury Park, NJ where he started in the bars and clubs. Over the years it fell into ruin, riots, decay....has been built up again only to be hit by Sandy(not too severely though)

Beautiful song that fit that terrible day even if the song is about a break up.

Today we remember the horrific tragedy of September 11, 2001. This terrorist act shocked a nation; in fact, shocked much of the world. It was Jehovah God who provided the comfort that no one else could. He is our hope and our refuge and the One in whom we trust. Dear God, May you be glorified and may our nation, and all Christians everywhere, be humbled as we seek your face and your forgiveness for our sins and shortcomings. Please comfort those who mourn, heal our land, protect your people, and guide us in these turbulent days of unrest and disaster, of unbelief and hypocrisy, and of biblical prophecy come to pass. It is like no time we have yet experienced. We need your grace. We cannot face the day alone. Thank you, heavenly Father, for your love and presence and power in our lives. And as Irving Berlin once composed…God bless America, land that I love.Stand beside her, and guide herthrough the night with a light from above.From the mountains, to the prairies,to the oceans, white with foamGod bless America, my home sweet home.Amen.~TGIF ..Today God Is First .

Re-posting this from a friend's FB page. It is hard to believe that it's been 12 years since the 9/11 attacks; like many other Americans, I'm sure, I remember it like it was yesterday.

Daniel Volan

sooooooo sad

Matthew Lu

To be fair, Osama Bin Laden did mention that part of the reason for 9/11 was (a) US bases in Saudi Araba, (b) US killings overseas But he also declared all non-Muslims to be enemies of Islam, so it's not really a fair comparison to begin with.

Matthew Lu

It was written a couple months beforehand, but it fits perfectly anyway.

awesome^^

If they do what?

TheSpiritOfTheTimes

I meant the acts of terrorism the US state has committed in those countries. But maybe if we do it it's preemptive self-defense, if they do it it's terrorism.
