On September 13th, 2001, I was listening to the radio in my car, still reflecting on what had just occured two days before. As I drove down a vacant street, a song I had heard a hundred times before began to play. However, this time, the song had a new meaning to me. The song was Outside [Lyrics, Staind.com], by Aaron Lewis, lead singer of the rock band StainD [Official Site, Staind.com]. As I listened to the song, the images I had seen online and on television began to flash through my head. As soon as I got home that evening, I sat down at my workstation and fired up Adobe Premiere. I pulled out my StainD CD and imported a copy of the full band version of Outside into Premiere. I then began looking for images that I could piece together to create a lasting memory of how I felt that day. The video that you can get to below is the fruit of that labor. Put together in a few short hours, it is nowhere near perfect, but it is a raw look into how I personally felt in the aftermath of September 11th. By putting it out here in this format for all to see I hope that others, like myself, can go back and view it from time to time so that we never forget the magnitude of what happened that day. The video is a collection of purely still images, no video footage. There are two different versions of the video.
