SEPTEMBER 11, 2001
Here's a moving video commemorating the 9/11 tragedy featuring Pink Floyd's Goodbye Blue Sky (a song from the 1979 double-album The Wall). Written almost three decades ago, the song (especially the line spoken by a child at the start) eerily fits the video.
Goodbye Blue Sky by Pink Floyd
"Look mummy, there's an aeroplane up in the sky"
Did you see the frightened ones?
Did you hear the falling bombs?
Did you ever wonder why we had to run for shelter when the
promise of a brave new world unfurled beneath a clear blue
sky?
Did you see the frightened ones?
Did you hear the falling bombs?
The flames are all long gone, but the pain lingers on.
Goodbye, blue sky
Goodbye, blue sky.
Goodbye.
Goodbye.
Goodbye.

Goodbye, blue sky
Goodbye, blue sky.
Goodbye.
Goodbye.
