LHN remembers 9-11-01
The LHN team remembers 9-11-01 and our thoughts and prayers go out to the families and friends of the victims and the brave NYFD and NYPD heroes that gave their lives. This is a shocking wake-up call of the brutality of the world. So, hug your family and appreciate those who love you. It can literally all be taken away in an instant.
Think about the love inside the strength of heart
Think about the heroes saving life in the dark
Climbing higher through the fire
Time was running out
Never knowing you weren't going to be coming down alive
But you still came back for me
You were strong and you believed
Think about the chance I never had to say
Thank you for giving up your life that day
Never fearing only hearing voices calling out
Let it all go the life that you know
Just to bring them down alive
And you still came back for me
You were strong and you've believed
Everything is gonna be alright
Everything is gonna be alright
Everything is gonna be alright
Be strong believe
Thanks for posting that. I never saw that video before. With Lifehouse music, it's very powerful and sad, of course. I remember exactly what I was doing that day. I was in Maine and I was watching the news live as it was happening. It was such a horrible feeling--like nothing I ever felt in my lifetime, that's for sure. It changed this country (and the rest of the world) and its people forever.
Thanks for honoring those this day for all who were lost and for all who served bravely. Also, for those who continue to struggle to resume a normal exesistence.![]()
Which Lifehouse song was actually inspired by the aftermath of 9/11? Was it Sky is Falling?
Sky Is Falling - Lifehouse
"....I'm alive, but tell me am I free. I've got eyes, but tell me can I see? The sky is falling and noone knows."
I know this isn't the thread to debate this, but I'm positive the song isn't about 9/11 when Jason says:
"The song was written just after 9/11 but it isnt specifically about that, its about how quickly people go back to their everyday lives after something huge happens"
but again.. its close enough.
I remember, I was still very young and my dad comes bargin in our room about an hour before we were supposed to wake up and said "Wake up, this is history on tv." and We turned on the tv. and remember, i was only 13 at the time. so my first impression was "umm. so?" and i literally lived across the street from my school so i didnt care if I was late so me and my older brother were watching as the second plane hit and as the plane was coming closer we were like "whooooooooooOOOOOOOOOAAAAAHH!!!". and I kind of think that thats when the reality hit me. but still didnt affect me as much as it should until I was at school and we were literally watching people jump out of the buildings to their death. and I was thinking... "wait... Im watching people die... on tv... in school?" it was a abrpt awakening into what the real world is about. the world is a brutal place. and I remember not seeing aaaaany planes in the sky for days. which was so weird. and living in fear for the first time in my own country. but the events of that day definitley hit me harder now than they did a while back.
Yeah, that's why I said...."inspired by the aftermath."
I can't watch the video or I'll start crying. Friday in school we had to watch a youtube video about the people jumping out of the buildings, that is so sad.
agreed. Its pretty heart wrenching.
Thanks for the video. It sorta got me choked up though.
I remember what I was doing that day. I kinda have to laugh when looking back, because my dad thought all this crazy stuff was going to start happening, so he came and got me and my sisters from school. I was only 7 at the time, and I still remember being really confused. Then once we got home, I saw all these people jumping out of the buildings. My mom didn't really want me to watch it, so she made me go into the next room. But I watched all that video again last Friday. It's just really sad because these people felt they had no other choice, so they jumped. Really makes you appreciate the time you do have with your friends and family.
yeah it does. its tragic. makes you understand that war is neccesary. our enemies dont "talk things out" they want us dead becuase of who we are.
