Artist's Statement
I will let the lyrics of my song speak as my "Statement of Work". It was a challenge to incorporate all the layers of emotion, differing perspectives, and areas of focus for such devasting events in our human history. It finally came together into three verses which simply represent the phases of that day, September 11, 2001, before, during, and after the attacks.
This Unforgiving Town(a 9/11 Tribute Song by Laurie Early)The Hudson flows along the shorewhere orchards of steel groweach gleaming bough contains a taleof lives and loves belowand every wave sings out its songfor shattered hearts needing repairWho will be dressed in sorrow's gownin this unforgiving town?
As sunlight wakes the morning skyour innocence a memoryan axeman wears a selfish smileas he fells another treeThe city's armor takes the blowsbut yet the human damage showsWho will be saved and who will drownin this unforgiving town?
When twilight rolls upon the daya dusty night time loomsa flood of tears won't wash awaythe pain caused by these woundsand so we're called to higher groundbecause it's there that love is foundWho will be brave and who'll be brought downin this unforgiving town?
Who will be brave and who'll be brought downin this unforgiving town?
