There Are No Words by Kitty Donohoe
:
This song was written shortly after 9/11. Instead of focusing on the ultra-patriotism that many were feeling at the time, it looks more deeply at the situation. While urging that Americans stay strong and united, it also asks whether vengeful violence is the correct response to what happened. One line is: will we ever forgive, though we never will forget? I think this type of response to the events of 9/11 also needs to be included.
It is my understanding that Kitty Donohoe was on the short list to perform at the NYC 9/11 remembrance but did not make the final cut. I hope you will consider airing this song. You can hear it on her website at http://www.kittydonohoe.com
