 * Recently we watched several videos regarding 9/11/01. Which were your 3 favorites and why?

1)** //My City of Ruins// by Bruce Springsteen. This song really reflected on the tragedy of 9/11/01 and I really liked it because it was all about having a city, almost like a home, and then it being ruined, torn down, and then seeking refuge from your sadness through God. It was just a really effective and profound way of putting the event into a powerful song.


 * 2)** //Imagine// by John Lennon. I liked this song because it was all about imagining peace and love, and how it doesn't always have to be only in our imaginations. That peace and love is something we can work for, living for today and being the change that we want to see in the world. That it's only us here, and we all have to take care of each other because we're all we've got. It was really touching, the idea that if we all work together and help and support each other, we can achieve great things.


 * 3)** //Walk On// by U2. This was one of my favorites because it talked about not dwelling in what happened in the past, not dwelling in our sorrows, which everyone does, but it isn't good to do it for too long. How we need to try and look past the bad, that it has already happened and there's a way we can move on, look ahead, and strive to be something better. How there won't be peace, but we can have peace if we want it, if we walk on beyond just our own problems and see it from a world perspective.
