Help me with this list about songs relating to 9/11 & Iraq/Afghanistan

Goooooooood Old Iraqi Top.

While not specifically about 9/11, I get a strong 9/11 vibe from Assemblage 23’s “30KFT,” off their newest CD “Storm.” A very haunting song.

While I can’t remember who sings it, there is a song called My Neighbors In Delray. It’s a song about the hijackers who lived in Delray Beach, FL.

I have no idea who sang it or even what it’s called, but when I was on holiday a few months after 9/11 watching MTV Asia in Thailand, and a song came on with happy, bouncy people in brightly coloured Power-Rangers style costumes all jumping around and singing “woooah Bin Laden!”. It had an animation of a plane flying towards various international landmarks - the Twin Towers, Big Ben, the Eiffel Tower, etc, and just at the last minute the building would “bend” out of the way of the plane.

It was bizarre.

Nice work.

I’ll also throw out “On Your Knees” by Dismantled, which was written on the afternoon of 9/11.

Aaron Tippen’s Where the Stars and Stripes and the Eagle Fly was actually written before 9/11 also, but was not released until afterwards, according to an interview that Tippen did.

I’ll add John Michael Montgomery’s Letters From Home. (This site has a list of supposed “Patriotic Songs” on it, but the list includes songs like “Achy Breaky Heart” and “I Wanna Talk About Me”, so I don’t know how helpful it would be.)

(The first page I went to for the lyrics for Letters From Home is at here, this page also plays the song, if you want to hear it.)

Although nothing to do with 9/11,Billy Joel’s Miami 2017 is eerily reminiscent of it

On September 11 this year, the Annoying Music Show on NPR dispensed with annoying music and played an acoustic guitar folk rock sort of song called “Land of the Living”. Ah ha! A bit of googling, and here are the lyrics.

Not specifically 9/11 but I love Letters from Home, by John Michael Montgomery.

I’m going to go out on a limb here and file this under “not quite what you’re looking for”.

Cutting to the other end of the “War on Terrorism” timeline: John Fogarty’s “Deja Vu (All Over Again)”

Gee, it’s too bad the OP never joined so they probably can’t read this thread now.

I like Song 12 :slight_smile:

the lyrics is quite good and touching…i like it so much…

How about those two incredibly overplayed songs: Only Time by Enya and *Superman *by Five for Fighting.

If I never hear either of those songs again, it will be too soon.
