Product Description

The piece begins with the familiar Latin poem featuring the sentiment carpe diem. The song is a fictitious story about a teacher who lost her newbie husband who was working on one of the Twin Towers on Septemeber 11th, 2001. The lyric decribes their accidental meeting and brief journey together. The chorus is her dealing with her feelings. The Latin text is split into two parts and bookends the piece. The Intro is the first half of the poem, "Carpe diem, quam minimum credula postero", which translates to "Seize the day, trusting the future as little as possible". The Outro is the second half, "Amor, vitae lumen, tenemus dum licet", which translates to "Love, the light of life, while we can hold it." My wife and I lived in Brooklyn when the September 11th attacks happened. While we did not know anyone lost that day directly we wept with the whole city. This song is a letter to all of the actual stories that were forever changed on that day.
