I envisioned a sense of grace in how New York came together to rescue and heal itself, something I experienced firsthand living in lower Manhattan when the event occurred. I've never experienced the kindness and support of strangers as I did on that day and in the difficult months that followed, and I thought of this as I wrote the music.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eHow graceful some things are, falling apart.\nStopped clocks, a dancer tumbling, or a breaking heart.\nA missing child, an empty plate,\nthe rust on a lost wind-up toy.\nA shattered glass.\nOr looming towers crumbling\ninto dust.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e— Sarah Kirkland Snider\u003c\/p\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"G.
