Amy Correia's "It's Beautiful"
:
I heard this song on my way into the city (from CT) to visit my sister -- who lived in Battery Park City until 9/11. It was about a week after the attack and it was my first time in. I was going to pick up my nephews and bring them up to my house.
I found this song -- so soaring with its magnificent chorus -- uplifting and majestic, and a tribute to the city (where I was born and raised) whose soul could never be vanquished. It gave me hope.
To this day whenever I hear it I think of that day and it makes me think of rebirth.
