Not just another 9/11 song. Cape focuses like a laser beam on just one horror that day, a passenger's last seconds on one of those planes. When I listen to this song I focus more on the music. You can always tell you're watching a great silent or foreign movie when you can understand it and be captivated by it without even reading the subtitles. This song does just that, everything from the tape-loading intro (like a Lynchian black box) to a spacey slow-motion soundtrack. The lyrics are of course great too. Incredibly emotional without being loud and frantic, like most bands try to pull off.
