O/T musical tribute

[Philcott]

Hi all,

 

A friend of mine wrote a song to the memories of the people lost on that blue sky morning. I have put it up on Jay's FTP site under unspecific uploadsgrim cathedral. It is in .wma (windows media player) format since I don't have the ability to put it into mp3. Maybe someone can do that for us.

 

I will start Thursday off with a moment of silence then listen to this.

 

Peace to all.

Advanced WMA Workshop, perhaps?

[Toolfab]

Phil,

 

That is an fantastic song. Makes you remember the sadness that so many have forgotten. Thank you for sharing.

 

God Bless Us All

Paul,

 

Here are the lyrics:

 

 

The grim cathedral's arch alone

Towers over dust and stone

Monument to flesh and bone

Twisted, stark and bare

 

And the floodlights' sharp relief

Magnifies the weight of grief

In the ruins that lie beneath

That emptiness of air

 

The papers from the building flew

Hung in the air, in a sky of blue

Souls of the newly dead and gone

Shone so bright on a Tuesday morn

 

In the canyon streets, the towering cloud

Tumbles on the running crowd

Falling like a funeral shroud

Darkening the sun

 

Staggered statues, concrete grey

Man as ashes, dust and clay

Desolation of the day

Falls on everyone

 

The papers from the building flew

Hung in the air, in a sky of blue

Souls of the newly dead and gone

Shone so bright in the morning sun

 

I watched it on my TV screen

Devolution of the dream

Images a nightmare scream

To wake the likes of me

 

A charnel house of sight and sound

Familiar streets a killing ground

The day they brought the buildings down

Down for all to see

 

 

The chorus really hits a chord with me.

The papers from the building flew

Hung in the air, in a sky of blue

Souls of the newly dead and gone

Shone so bright in the morning sun

---

It is as if the papers floating around were the souls of the dead making their way to the next life.

That was intense-gave me a chill

be great to get a copy....

[Philcott]

Midnite-oil,

 

Quite a moving song. It has been going on over and over in my mind for about a week now and I have been working out the music to play on my guitar.

What do you mean by this. Do you mean getting the cd?

 

I hope more forum members take the time to hear it.

[SledGeek]

Get it or burn it. `Don't wanna xxxx anyone off by just burning it....

 

M.O.

[Thad]

I'll convert it to mp3 tommorow night, unless someone does it before me. I'm downloading it right now.

 

Thad

[SledGeek]

I don't have the ability to put it into mp3. Maybe someone can do that for us.

I can't listen to this song, Windows media player says that this song has been played on multiple computers and won't allow me. Whats up with that!

[Thad]

Don't you love the way Microsoft upholds copyright laws?

 

I hope I can still work with it tonight.

O.K.

 

I have been able to convert this song into mp3 format. It is on the FTP site under unspecific uploadsgrim cathedral.zip

 

If you listen to it let me know what you think.

 

Thanks Bullines for the tip on where to get the converter.
