music:

"Freedom" by Paul McCartney

story:

"Freedom" is a visceral response to the 9-11 attacks that is less angry than defiant. There is hope and optimism in Paul's ballad. And as it comes from an immigrant artist with great ties to NYC, this song has even more power. It was written on September 12th, and was part of the Concert for NYC some weeks later.
