‘The Rising’ – Bruce Springsteen
Springsteen wrote a song about 9/11 in which he portrays a firefighter trying to enter one of the Twin Towers (“Can’t see nothing in front of me…”) before launching into the gospel-tinged chorus. This was the lead single from an album aimed at easing his fans’ grief. He told Rolling Stone in 2002, “The fundamental thing I hear from fans is, ‘Man, you got me through — whatever it is.”
