That second picture with the lights signifying where the towers once stood is a powerful shot. The Statue of Liberty in the foreground and it's significance makes it all the more powerful.
I've never been more proud to be an American than on this day ten years ago and in the days and weeks that followed. The stories of bravery and heroism that came out of this tragedy is what stays with me the most.
I just watched a short film narrated by Tom Hanks which told the stories of all the sea captains who came to the rescue. Hundreds of boats flocked to lower Manhattan to help with the evacuation of half a million people. This is the first time I've even heard about that.
My thoughts and prayers for all who lost on this day.. And my thanks to all those who stepped up to help. God Bless.
I actually flew home from NYC on 9/10/01, I was there for a concert. I almost stayed longer & would have flown home on 9/11 but decided not too. Thank God. I have a beautiful pic I took of the WTC Towers that day though, the tops were in the clouds.
Everyone, American or not was effected that day, in many ways.
Hello to all the regulars, hope u are well & safe!
May we all remember the souls lost to the horrible tragedy a decade ago. Love, thoughts, prayers and wishes for peace in your hearts to everyone who was touched in some way by that day and its aftermath.
Hugs for y'all, dear Roselanders. Hugs for Smitty, Gruff and Syd.
Lovely tributes Rose and all you compassionate Roselanders! Through this tragedy we all came together to mourn the senseless loss of many Americans. May this be a reminder that what makes us a great nation is our ability to unite. We could use a bit more of that these days.
Thanks Rose... I think anyone who has a soul and a heart will never forget... Reading, seeing images, hearing things.. would never make it so real and painful like living it... But today, for at least one second, millions on minds were on the same thing... Hoping it won't happen again... ever.

If you wear red tonight Remember what I said tonight For red is the colour that my baby wore And what is more, it's true Yes it is
Scarlet were the clothes she wore Everybody knows I've sure I would remember all the things we planned Understand, it's true Yes it is, it's true Yes it is
I could be happy with you by my side If I could forget her, but it's my pride Yes it is, yes it is Oh, yes it is, yeah
Please don't wear red tonight This is what I said tonight For red is the colour that will make me blue In spite of you, it's true
Yes it is, it's true Yes it is Yes it is, it's true
Just watched it. Beautiful, emotional, sexy, suspenseful......this film will be monumental.
One can see that it was made with love, commitment and a sense of responsibility to convey as faithfully as possible a screen version of Bella and Edward's story that will be breathtaking and truly memorable.
So hard to wait, but it is getting closer.
Hugs for y'all. Hugs for Smitty, Gruff and Syd. Off to read.
ITA, the new trailer is an exciting glimpse of an excellent BD1, coming soon. Rob & Kristen just nail it, and everyone in the cast is stellar, as much as I can see of them right now.
LOVE the new banner. Robert in red? How can ya go wrong?
Just watched the BD trailer and I am speechless....soooooo much to take in and absorb! Kristen really looks sick and pregnant! Rob as Edward looks so strong and husbandly.....can't wait for BD!!!
The BLOGGER team is 100% certain and knows for a FACT that there are no babies and no inside sources... The voices in your head don't count! You know DickShit.

ReplyDeleteMy Heart Will Go On (Titanic Theme)
Celine Dion:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DHyJTpDFgc8
Every night in my dreams
I see you, I feel you
That is how I know you go on
Far across the distance
And spaces between us
You have come to show you go on
Near, far, wherever you are
I believe that the heart does go on
Once more you open the door
And you're here in my heart
And my heart will go on and on
Love can touch us one time
And last for a lifetime
And never go till we're one
Love was when I loved you
One true time I hold to
In my life we'll always go on
You're here, there's nothing I fear,
And I know that my heart will go on
We'll stay forever this way
You are safe in my heart
And my heart will go on and on
Thank you/Asuturias
Thank you, Rose.

Remember When It Rained
ReplyDeleteJosh Groban:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rfxqW9QwOSI
Wash away the thoughts inside
That keep my mind away from you
No more love and no more pride
And thoughts are all I have to do
Ohhh, remember when it rained
Felt the ground and looked up high
And called your name.
Ohhh, remember when it rained
In the darkness I remain
Tears of hope run down my skin
Tears for you that will not dry
They magnify the one within
And let the outside slowly die
Ohhh, remember when it rained
I felt the ground and looked up high
And called your name
Ohhhhhh, remember when it rained
In the water I remain
Running down
Running down
Thank you/Dude87Fiorenzuola
Good Evening!
ReplyDeleteStill reflecting and choosing some songs that do, too.
Have a restful night and a brand new day is coming soon.

Sun in the sky
You know how I feel
Breeze driftin' on by
You know how I feel
It's a new dawn
It's a new day
It's a new life
For me..
And I'm feeling good
Fish in the sea
You know how I feel
River running free
You know how I feel
Blossom in the trees
You know how I feel
It's a new dawn
It's a new day
It's a new life
For me...

Dragonfly out in the sun
You know what I mean, don't you know
Butterflies all out having fun
You know what I mean
Sleep in peace
When, the this day is done
And this old world
Is a new world
And a bold world
For me...
Stars when you shine
You know how I feel

Beautiful Flower
ReplyDeleteIndia Arie:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Zbn7Khv8zM
This is a song for every girl who's
Ever been through something she
Thought she couldn't make it through
I sing these words because
I was that girl too
Wanting something better than this
But who do I turn to
Now we're moving from the darkness
Into the light
This is the defining moment
Of our lives
'Cause you're beautiful like a flower
More valuable than a diamond
You are powerful like a fire
You can heal the world
With your mind
There is nothing in the world
That you cannot do
When you believe in you
Who are beautiful
Yeah, you, who are brilliant
Yeah, you, who are powerful
Yeah, you, who are resilient
This is a song for every girl who
Feels like she is not special
'Cause she don't look like
A supermodel Coke bottle
The next time the radio tells you
To shake your moneymaker
Shake your head and tell them
Tell them you're a leader
Now we're moving from the darkness
Into the light
This is the defining moment
Of our lives
'Cause you're beautiful
Like a flower
More valuable than a diamond
You are powerful like a fire
You can heal the world with your mind
There is nothing in the world
That you cannot do
When you believe in you
Who are beautiful
Yeah, you, who are beautiful
Yeah, you, who are brilliant
Yeah, you, who are powerful
Yeah, you, who are resilient
Yeah, you, this song is for you
Yeah, you, yeah, you
Thank you/knewways
Red On Some (Rob)= Unforgettable
ReplyDeleteYes It Is
The Beatles:

If you wear red tonight
Remember what I said tonight
For red is the colour that my baby wore
And what is more, it's true
Yes it is
Scarlet were the clothes she wore
Everybody knows I've sure
I would remember all the things we planned
Understand, it's true
Yes it is, it's true
Yes it is
I could be happy with you by my side
If I could forget her, but it's my pride
Yes it is, yes it is
Oh, yes it is, yeah
Please don't wear red tonight
This is what I said tonight
For red is the colour that will make me blue
In spite of you, it's true
Yes it is, it's true
Yes it is
Yes it is, it's true

What The World Needs Now
ReplyDeleteJackie DeShannon-1965:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tMS2uMUQNnQ
What the world needs now,
Is love, sweet love,
It's the only thing that there's Just too little of.
What the world needs now,
Is love, sweet love,
No, not just for some but for everyone.
Lord, we don't need another mountain,
There are mountains and hillsides enough to climb,
There are oceans and rivers enough to cross,
Enough to last 'til the end of time.
What the world needs now,
Is love, sweet love,
It's the only thing that there's Just too little of.
What the world needs now,
Is love, sweet love,
No, not just for some but for everyone.
What the world needs now,
Is love, sweet love.
Twilight Time
ReplyDeleteThe Platters-1958:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mZpwRCw_wJI
Heavenly shades of night
Are falling
It's twilight time
Out of the mist
Your voice is calling
Tis twilight time
When purple-colored curtains
Mark the end of day
I'll hear you, my dear
At twilight time
Deepening shadows gather splendor
As day is done
Fingers of night will soon
Surrender the setting sun
I count the moments darling
Till you're here with me
Together at last
At twilight time
Here, in the afterglow of day
We keep our rendezvous
Beneath the blue
And, in the same and sweet old way
I fall in love again
As I did then
Deep in the dark your kiss
Will thrill me like days of old
Lighting the spark of love
That fills me with dreams untold
Each day I pray for evening
Just to be with you
Together at last
At twilight time
Together at last
At twilight time
Thank you/Nocaro
Well, it's my twilight time, in more ways than one..
ReplyDeleteMay be back later, or even later.
Fare thee well, all.
DK,
ReplyDeleteLoved the songs-hopeful and yes, that boy looks good in red! How goes life in your new nest?
Have a great day Roseland!
DK...Beautiful songs...thankyou:)
ReplyDeleteHi BIRDIE:)
Have a great day everybody!
@Birdie & Super
ReplyDeleteThanks for liking the songs!
My nest is feathered with lots of stuff, but bit by bit, I'm custom-making a new one. Old dogs can learn new tricks, tee hee.
Must say that margaritas and champagne are not the best mix, on the day after. See, living and learning.
Have a lovely Tuesday.
Regards to all!
Cheers for Smitty, Gruff & Syd, just because.

Let's Do It (Let's Fall In Love)
ReplyDeleteAlanis Morissette:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EZQn7BWRDfY
When the little bluebird
Who has never said a word
Starts to sing Spring
When the little bluebell
At the bottom of the dell
Starts to ring
Ding dong, ding dong
When the little blue clerk
In the middle of his work
Starts a tune to the moon up above
It is nature that is all
Simply telling us to fall in love
But that’s why birds do it,
Bees do it,
Even educated fleas do it,
Let’s do it, let’s fall in love.
In Spain the best upper sets do it,
Lithuanians and Letts do it,
Let’s do it, let’s fall in love.
The Dutch in old Amsterdam do it,
Not to mention the Finns,
Folks in Siam do it,
Think of Siamese twins.
Some Argentines without means do it,
People say in Boston even beans do it,
Let’s do it, let’s fall in love.
Romantic sponges they say do it,
Oysters down in Oyster Bay do it,
Let’s do it, let’s fall in love.
Cold Cape Cod clams ‘gainst their wish do it,
Even lazy jellyfish do it,
Let’s do it, let’s fall in love.
I've heard that lizards and frogs do it
Layin' on a rock
They say that roosters do it
With a doodle and cock
Electric eels, I might add, do it,
Though it shocks ‘em I know,
Why ask if shads do it,
Waiter bring me shad roe.
In shallow shoals English soles do it,
Goldfish in the privacy of bowls do it,
Let’s do it, let’s fall in love.
The dragonflies in the reeds do it,
Sentimental centipedes do it,
Let’s do it, let’s fall in love.
Mosquitoes, heaven forbid, do it,
So does every katydid do it,
Let’s do it, let’s fall in love.
The most refined ladybugs do it,
When a gentleman calls,
Moths in your rugs do it,
What’s the use of moth balls?
Locusts in trees do it,
Bees do it,
Even overeducated fleas do it,
Let’s do it, let’s fall in love.
The chimpanzees in the zoos do it,
Some courageous kangaroos do it
Let's do it, let's fall in love
I'm sure sometimes on the sly you do it
Maybe even you and I might do it
Let’s do it, let’s fall in love
Thank you/maxmanson
Re: Let's Do It-a song by the ever witty Cole Porter; I posted the complete lyrics, but Alanis M. did not sing them all. FYI, just sayin'.
