Quote for the Day

It seems that for numerous reasons, the tragedy of September 11, 2001 has been on my mind a little more lately than usual. The opening track on what has commonly become known as the September 11 album, of Sting's is Fragile.

For those who are not in the know, Sting along with many of Europe's top recording artists recorded "....all this time" on 911. It is live, and the emotion of the day is captured to this day. The choice of Fragile to open is fitting.

If blood will flow when flesh and steel are one
Drying in the colour of the evening sun
Tomorrow's rain will wash the stains away
But something in our minds will always stay
Perhaps this final act was meant
To clinch a lifetime's argument
That nothing comes from violence and nothing ever could
For all those born beneath an angry star
Lest we forget how fragile we are

Sting
...all this time
Track 1 Fragile
Lyrics: Sting
