About Sept. 11? All I gotta say is, *Sniff* I think I'm starting to cry. ANyone got a tissue? Sorry, I just wanted to say, us guys get emotional, too.
 
I heard it tonight at work. Almost made me cry. Very cool song, and I have no idea what it's called.

Hey nastyman... any idea who sings Movin On? Not positive that's tht title, and I think it's fairly new...
 
OH, HELL!!!!!!! THey didn't say, so, I don't know. Isn't that awful? If I find out, I'll let you know.

I mostly hate cuntry, but Alan Jackson is cool. What's the name of the song?

Where Were You (When The World Stopped Turning)
By Alan Jackson

Verse:
Where were you when the world stop turning on that September day Were you in the yard with your wife and children
Or working on some stage in L.A.
Did you stand there in shock at the sight of that black smoke
Rising against that blue sky
Did you shout out in anger, in fear for your neighbor
Or did you just sit down and cry

Did you weep for the children who lost their dear loved ones
And pray for the ones who don't know
Did you rejoice for the people who walked from the rubble
And sob for the ones left below
Did you burst out in pride for the red, white and blue
And the heroes who died just doin' what they do
Did you look up to heaven for some kind of answer
And look at yourself and what really matters

Chorus:
I'm just a singer of simple songs
I'm not a real political man
I watch CNN but I'm not sure I could
Tell you the difference in Iraq and Iran
But I know Jesus and I talk to God
And I remember this from when I was young
Faith, hope and love are some good things He gave us
And the greatest is love

Verse:
Where were you when the world stop turning on that September day
Teaching a class full of innocent children
Or driving down some cold interstate
Did you feel guilty 'cause you're a survivor
In a crowded room did you feel alone
Did you call up your mother and tell her you loved her
Did you dust off that bible at home

Did you open your eyes, hope it never happened
And you close your eyes and not go to sleep
Did you notice the sunset the first time in ages
Or speak to some stranger on the street
Did you lay down at night and think of tomorrow
Go out and buy you a gun
Did you turn off that violent old movie you're watchin'
And turn on "I Love Lucy" reruns

Did you go to a church and hold hands with some strangers
Stand in line and give your own blood
Did you just stay home and cling tight to your family
Thank God you had somebody to love

Repeat Chorus
 
I know the song you mean, but, don't know who sings it.
 
Pheonyx,

Almost made me get choked up, again, just by reading that.
 
Gets ready to duck.

Who's Alan Jackson.

Give me a site where I can listen.
 
It's an awesome song...

My husband heard it on his way back from school the other night and as soon as he got home he downloaded it from KaZaA (KaZaA.com) I've only been able to listen to it that first time he played it and once after that. (I tend to get over emotional and cry alot! *sigh*)

Nasty,

I heard it last night and for some reason immediately thought of you.

I don't know which one makes me more emotional, this one or Driving with Private Andrew Malone by David Ball.

MG5
 
Alan Jackson's is more emotional, because, it's based on true events. That's my opinion. I heard it again this afternoon, and, again, I ALMOST started bawling.
