LHN remembers 9-11-01

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? 

You are correct, Skrappy.

"....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.

I completely agree with you Nickyjames.  We tell them we are coming, we tell them what they can do to avoid us coming.  They just ambush and laugh about it afterwards.  I'll stop now.
