Victoria Banks - City of Dreams - Nashville Flood Relief

I wrote this song on the road home to Nashville during the historic flooding that happened a few days ago. Lives were lost, many have lost everything and are living in shelters. Please donate what you can to the Nashville Red Cross at (615) 250-4300 or ww.nashvilleredcross.org.

I'm glad the song is moving you, folks! Must apologize for the lack of pics from Bellevue and elsewhere in TN - we live downtown and my sweetie took most of these pics personally (aerial & Opry pics are from the Tennessean, a couple others from friends). I chose to focus mostly on my own metro Nashville experience in hopes that the images of our famous landmarks under water will be just as shocking and inspiring to others as they were to me.

This disaster is also a teachable moment, even with the pain so fresh.

.

It may be poetic justice that the South is lined up to receive much of the worst effects of global warming -- as it harbors NASCAR culture and so much denial of climate science. Severe and bizarre weather will become more frequent and intense as a direct result of increased heat and moisture in the atmosphere.

.

Consider this storm as an epic traffic stop, with Mother Nature as the cop: "Step away from the car!"

Don't you give up...don't you give up...don't give up on me! =(

This is the first time I have heard your version. I loved the ensemble version, the emotion everyone provided, enhancing the imagery and emotion from your own wonderful lyrics. Both the video and songs are perhaps more moving than any country song I've ever heard.

This song is absolutely the best song of 2010. It touches my heart every time I hear it and brings tears to my eyes. There is something seriously wrong with producers and labels if it does not win every award possible this year.

this song when i first heard it, it just hit me like a ton of bricks, especially when they showed the old man being helped by the soldier and the Opry underwater

I'm unable to sadly donate but I'll show this on other sites that I have an account on as well as my featured vid to see if my friends and watchers can help!

Wow. We were there last summer. The Grand Ole Opry picture really shocked me. Great song for a great cause.

Who are all the artists? I got Daniel Peck, Emma Jacobs, Kate and Kacey, Pam Tillis, Sarah Darling, Victoria Banks, Jesse Lee, but I'm lost after that. Really awesome video though :)
