BEYOND 9/11: OVERTURES ON THE HOME FRONT / THE WAR FRONT S O N G D E S C R I P T I O N On CDbaby, everyone is used to hearing just a little bit of each song before purchasing. In an overture, these short sound bytes are edited together into one long song representing an entire album’s worth of material. Like any successful overture, all the music blends together in different movements representing opposing emotions, all concluding on a high note. One long continuous song that holds your attention from beginning to end. Not an easy accomplishment, so it is seldom attempted. Enjoy this editing marvel that offers up 1 verse /1 chorus from each song averaging 1.5 minutes per clip. What makes these overtures work is the subject matter. All these songs were written about 9/11/01 and the twin towers tragedy. Two singles are being released, simultaneously, to tell the whole story. Two different overtures representing all perspectives on both fronts: ON THE HOMEFRONT and THE WAR FRONT. There were the two twin towers and now they are gone but the story lives on with these songs that were written from the headlines, for two years after the tragedy. Basically, this music has been on the shelf since 2003 just waiting for the tenth anniversary of 9/11/01 for release. However, with the demise of Osama Bin Laden, these songs are more relevant now than ever. If you want to focus just on that, go to Overture #2: THE WARFRONT, which shows him no mercy. If you want the whole story, start with Overture #1: ON THE HOME FRONT. These historic recordings will be released in their entirety for the tenth anniversary of 9/11/01 but until then, we have these two amazing overtures.
