Radiohead - The National Anthem
:
Most music to be played on the anniversary should rightfully be ceremonial, reflective, and calming. I chose this song because, although it was released prior to Sept. 2001, it seems uncanny in its prescience and captures the fear, confusion, and chaos I felt that day as I watched, with my own eyes, the 2nd plane hit and then the fall of the first tower. The lyrics especially reflect the feelings I felt then: "everyone around, around me has got the fear" and then ending with "WHAT'S GOING ON" repeated over and over with increasing agitation.
