it seems like so long ago when it happened. yet 8 years isn’t really that far away. i remember thinking that it was a moment that would change this country forever. and in many ways it has, but in many ways it hasn’t.
as a country, we’re back to the same jobs, the same worries, the same sports, the same tv shows, the same commercialism, the same gas hording vehicles, the same wasting of water, the same killing of the environment, and the same hating of eachother. but it wasn’t that long ago when we actually, for a few weeks, came together as a country. we looked at who we were as a nation. we reexamined what we valued in life and the ways we were taking for granted all the family, friends and loved ones around us. we forgot about all the petty things that drove us to be miserable working jobs we hated just so we can buy more shit we don’t need. even the brainwashing commercials dissapeared for a few days from tv and radio. i lived next to an airport at the time and i remember how, for a little bit, there were no airplanes in the sky, just the sun and the clouds and birds.
it was a tragic time in our nations history, yet it was a time that brought us all together, at least for a little while. it just goes to show how great the human spirit, and the american spirit can be when it wants to. and i believe that it always wants to, just something gets in the way…daily it seems.
some wonder why music has souch a hold on the collective psyche. but i think music can do great good for our world, as well as great harm. 9-11 has inspired many artists in many ways. and much music has come from such reflection. music is our heart. music is our soul. music is the collective voice for who we are as humans. it is the human experience.
now i don’t know how much longer we have on this planet. and i’m sure those who lost their lives on 9-11 had no idea that it was their last day either. what i do know is that we have so much to be greatful for. for every day we can breathe and live and witness the greatness of this world, and dance and obsorb the music that is around us.
