Let's Roll Lyrics

Cover art for Let's Roll lyrics by Neil Young

Of all the tributes and all the speeches, documentaries done for 911, this one always moved me the most from the first time I heard it. It still brings me to tears, but also makes me feel proud for those on that flight. One of the most amazing stories ever, if I saw a movie of it and didn't know any better, I'd say it was over the top and could not happen irl. It's perfect just the way it is--like any good Neil Young song he can convey deepest emotions without overdoing it. Just as a whisper can speak much louder than a yell. I can imagine being on that flight, hearing about the towers after the hijackers took over, and knowing you have to give up the lives everyone on the flight to save others on the ground.

And hey, watch it--when you said "mike" I thought you meant mike, our fearless admin! :P Anywho, don't let yourself get so upset if a few don't get a song or don't see it's worth--there's always SOMEONE who doesn't. So let's not flame over it, just explain the song, and they or others on the site will get it. :)
