Moment Away by Dana Fuchs

:

Dana is a New Yorker and wrote the song about how she felt after the attack...and spoke words that many of us could not form on our own. Every time I hear it, I get chills because it reminds me of the moment when I watched it live on TV. It also reminds me walking into our school to pick up our kids and seeing the fear in the children's eyes because it was a military town and they knew it meant their mom's or dad's were going to war.Now I look back and I'm proud of us, we skinned our knees a bit, but we didn't break.

"Moment Away" by Dana Fuchs

:

Living in Holland, this song makes me 'feel' a bit of what 9/11 means in the minds, hearts & souls of Americans & specially New Yorkers. A touching song with a great theme....Love whispers through every note and word...

I happened to catch Greg Tannen live in the weeks after 9/11 and thought then that this song and my country were beautiful. It was uplifting. Still is.

"Moment Away" by Dana Fuchs and the Dana Fuchs Band

:

Even as a German who isn't as much involved in these terrible things happened about 10 years ago to the people in New York and in America this song "Moment Away" and the voice of Dana Fuchs is able to open the eyes and feel very emotional and finally causing a "goose-flesh" by listening.

I'm a first responder and spent six months working on the pile and opening the respite centers for the Red Cross. i first heard the song when he played it at a bar in the east village. It really hit me, so I bought the CD. Beautiful song written by a NYer who gets it.

Dana Fuchs' song, "Moment Away"

:

Its a wonderfully heartbreaking song about a woman who thought she was kissing her loved one goodbye only for a day but lost them to the terrorist attacks of 9/11.

Its a stark reminder that we must take every moment in and cherish it fully as we never know what could happen in the next.

Dana is a New Yorker whose voice is raw, emotional and intense. These same feelings are evoked when thinking about 9/11...

Moment Away

:

The song was inspired by a woman who lost her husband and childhood sweetheart on 9/11 as a loving tribute to those lost. It acknowledges the fragility of life and the often suddenness and unexpectedness of death. Dana Fuchs' tribute to this love and loss is so beautiful and poignant it brings tears to my eyes every time I hear it.
