You make a good point as sometime less is more and there is always a risk of over exposure -just like to see MCC get her due

@gorfitz Part of me agrees with you (about how perfect the song is and how wonderful MCC is). Another part of me is glad that the song was not overplayed and threatened with becoming a cliche. It is so sincere and heartfelt and, above all, PERSONAL, and it deserves to be discovered in that way. If it takes a little longer for it to spread around that way, that's not necessarily a bad thing.

I cant understand how this song was not played in the past years and on the 10th anniversary of 9/11.It should accompany every news story about this tragic event much like Elton johns tribute to lady Diana.Could there be a better tribute song than this-so poignant, haunting and well written.I am Canadian and cant understand how this incredible song could be basically ignored on radio and by the general public in the US.The story behind it and the talent of MCC should never ever be forgotten.

Just heard this for the first time. Never cried about the events of that day--until now.

that was perfect

@ariamne97 me too, this song brings so many tears and i am only thinking to the victims of 9/11. Remembering the sound of the firetrucks sirens going at WTC complex...than the dusty faces of FDNY survivors trying to search for their friends in that cloud of dust. NEVER FORGET,NEVER. This is a duty of all Americans.

This song is my husband's story... It blew me away how she captured the spirit of the men - my husband in particular- who worked the pile and dealt with the aftermath...
thank you Mary for giving the world an insight into their being... it is the only music about the event that comes close being there with them...
This is a songwriting masterpiece. Mary Chapin Carpenter shows her writing genius in this one. So much feeling and yet everything so understated that many people take ages to realise that she is singing from the point of view of a rescue worker on the ruins of the World Trade Centre. Love that girl!

I always end up in tears at the end..I can still see all the cars that were tagged at the train station parking lot in my home town so they wouldn't get towed..people who commuted in to WTC on the Hudson line that day and were waiting to see if they were coming back..around October 2001 they finally took them away. I guess they realized no one was coming home by then.
