the song "Firehouse"
:
Suzanne Vega produced a 9/11 project called "Vigil" - "Firehouse," written in 2002 about Ladder 25 is on it. Last night I completed a video to go with the song to mark the 10th anniversary. Here's the youtube link:

As far as I know that album never got much airplay or promotion so most of the songs remain unknown. There's a line in the song that I didn't think would resonate as much as it does: "Maybe next year the pain won't be as sharp as it is today/but it will never completely go away." Sort of an understatement now I guess.
