I went and saw Little Big Town in concert last night and they were great. THAT'S what I wanted to write about. However......
I didn't want to write this blog. But after reading so many heart felt tributes I wanted to add to that growing list of thoughts. I've compiled a list of the best 9/11 songs and the best sad songs. Those two things aren't that dissimilar. I'm going to alternate the sad songs with the 9/11 songs, see if you can tell the difference.
This tribute to Syd Barrett could also serve as a tribute to all the victims of 9/11 and their families.
1) Pink Floyd "Wish You Were Here":
2) Bruce Springsteen "The Rising":
3) Terry Jacks "Seasons In The Sun":
4) The Weepies "Safe As Houses":
5) Elton Johns "Sad Songs (Say So Much)":
How Mary Chapin Carpenter came to write the below song. 6) Mary Chapin Carpenter "Grand Central Station":
7) Billy Ocean "There Will Be Sad Songs (To Make You Cry)":
8) Neil Young "Let's Roll":
9) Lana Del Rey "Summertime Sadness":
Actually written before 9/11 but still a great tribute to New York, warts and all. This video was shot four days before of the momentous events of 9/11. 10) Ryan Adams "New York New York":
11) Sinead O'Connor "Nothing Compares 2 U":
12) Leonard Cohen "On That Day":
13) Elton John "I Guess That's Why They Call It The Blues":
14) The Cranberries "New New York":
15) Massive Attack "Teardrop":
16) Ministry "Lies Lies Lies":
17) Simon and Garfunkel "The Boxer":
