Amanda forgets the lyrics! Amanda Palmer - Truce - Union Chapel - 11.09.09

Amanda said she had to play Truce once she realised it was 11th September, and because she was in a church. Clearly she hadn't intended to play it because she forgot the lyrics! Altogether now... "we can split Germany right down the middle"....

amazing! why is it so special tht she played this particular song on 9/11?

[uniquepresence]

Not sure. She was all ready to play another song, but then she said she realised the date and that she was in a church so she had to play this. No matter what reason, I'm so glad she did!

@wittytoddy I am well aware, not being retarded and all.

@00snakeman00 Because it was a song comparing a break up to 9/11 twin towers attack in America, 2001.

@Sanushikuto Thank you very much. Didn't have many characters. :)

[Sanushikuto]

@AccidentlyonPurpose0 + "i am the tower around which you orbited" ... "I fall to the ground within hours of impact"

@uniquepresence To everyone wondering this song was written specificly about 9/11. Not only has she said so in past interveiws but the lyrics are quite clear. I'll pull a few out. "you can take all of the carry-on baggage" Carry on baggage, you know what that means. Although, I do see hint of a past romance in this song- its mostly 9/11. "i am the ground zero ex-friend you ordered disgused as a hero to get past your borders"There are more,but Im out of characters.Read the lyrics carefully :]

Easily one of the best on the album... and i love the 'Amanda... You're telling me a FAIRYTALE'

Many songs like "The Jeep Song", "Boston" and this song, wore written about Amanda's break up with her Ex Boyfriend, the actor. After the break up, while she was still heart broken by him, he moved to New York, and the two lost contact; well more like HE cut her out of his like/wanted nothing to do with her. Anyway, Sept 11th rolls around and she realized that he was in new york. So in a way, 9/11 sparked the formation of this song, hence why she felt it necessary to play this on that day.
