Song of the Day

Jay-Z feat. The Roots - "Song Cry" (Unplugged)
I think we'll all say, "I remember where I was," when the Twin Towers crashed down during the 9/11 attacks. And I know I will never forget it. The day was just absolutely surreal. There were so many questions that would forever remain unanswered and so many different emotions that ran through me - fear, anger, sadness, doubt, etc. Jay-Z released the classic Blueprint on that day. And it was the only thing that could help distract me. Well, nothing would ever really take my mind off what had just occurred, but it was as close to an escape from reality as I could find. Music has always elicited different emotions in me. It's my lifeblood. And as I took a long commute to work today, I played The Blueprint. Not to relive 9/11, but to remember. To remember the feelings that I experienced that day and also to remember how blessed I am. Blessed to have amazing people around me. Blessed to have the opportunity to look back on that day 13 years ago in good health, with good friends and a great family surrounding me. We should all take a moment to be thankful for those things today. I know I did. And so I leave you with a song from The Blueprint. An album that will always have a significant impact on me because of the events of the day and for the momentary escape it provided. Always remember. God Bless.
