On
September 11, 2001,
terrorists left us confused, angry and afraid when they flew two airplanes into
the World Trade Center in New York City and one into the Pentagon in Arlington,
Virginia while another came crashing down in Pennsylvania.
Today,
September 11th is a time for healing as we remember those who passed
away, show love to our friends and family who are here with us and gather
together to support our local heroes and show pride in our country.
As
we commemorate 9/11, GL has compiled a playlist of nine songs picked to help
us remember, heal and love. Take a listen and share the tunes you blast when
getting through the tough times.
“Superman”
– Five For Fighting
We love this song for reminding
us that police officers and fire fighters are real superheroes.
"Where
Is The Love?" – The Black Eyed Peas featuring Justin Timberlake
Belt it out with The Black Eyed
Peas as they sing about what the world could always use more of: love.
"Skyscraper"
– Demi Lovato
Feel strong while listening to
Demi’s song about rising above and overcoming pain and hardships.
"Let's
Roll" – Neil Young
The passengers of flight 93
fought against four al-Qaeda terrorists who hijacked their airplane. While the
passengers struggled to gain control, the plane crashed in a field near
Shanksville, Pennsylvania. This song was written as a tribute to those heroes.
"Believe" - Yellowcard
This song is about the huge
sacrifice made by fire fighters who risked their lives to rescue victims of the
attack.
“Empire
State Of Mind Part 2” – Alicia Keys
Alicia Keys gives a shout out to
New York City: the inspiring melting pot where dreams come true.
“A
New Day Has Come” – Celine Dion
This inspiring song is about
getting through tragedy and tears and making it to a bright new day.

Was Here" – Beyoncé
Leave your mark on the world like
Beyoncé by living and loving. This song is all about making a difference.
