My knee-jerk reation to 9-11. This is a quick take, poor quality demo that I had intended on working into a nice production. I never did...

Just a guitar hacker writing and recording original music in my home studio. I have enough tools to be dangerous LOL.
Would love a real band to cover and make any of my songs their own. I think some of the songs are good, better than I have the ability to do them justice. If interested, reach out...

Story behind the song
September 2001. The second song that came to me regarding the September 11 attack, but the first to be recorded. The lyrics came first and I applied them to a previously written acoustic melody that was laying around. The recording is a quick one-take demo that I had intended on re-working and adding a bridge. I never did. The weird juxtaposition of love and retribution, was derived from the TV news and hearing everyone talk about how much love came pouring out of people and in the same breath, how we were gonna get em back.
Lyrics
Weve seen so many things in our lives And yet its true that we havent seen much All the images that weve taken in Cut us to the heart, this diverse Nation And I know what we do right now Will help the meek to inherit the Earth [unrecorded verse] Now I see what I have always known Id see Americas gift to this weary, weary world The world can choose to hate or stand with us now Muslim, Jew, and Christian working hand in hand And I know what we do right now Will help cement the peace that is to come And I know what we do right now Will help cement the peace that is to come But now all we need is Love and Retribution Love and Retribution Love and Retribution Love and Retribution Love and Retribution
