It has been 11 years since the terrorist attacks on our country. You will be hearing and seeing a lot of tributes over the next few days. Last year marking the 10th anniversary, we posted this tribute song. Your response was so great, we’ve reposted it again this year.

This was set to the music of the 2002 song “Heaven” by DJ Sammy. Have some tissues ready.

Listen to the song.

Here is the link to the song: 9-11 Heaven tribute song

This song is sooo beautiful! It doesnt make a difference it isn’t a country song, it is for the memory of all the men, women, and children that lost their lives on 9/11/01! The World will love this, just as much as I do!

WOW….So the girl that just called in a few minutes ago….I’m a pretty thick skinned girl & that made me a snivelling mess! Could she BE any bigger of a MORON!?!?! Get a clue & have some sympathy….

The song was nice – tho a tearjerker – the first time you played it this morning. You’ve played it two more times since. That’s about a 1-1/2 hour rotation for it! Way too much, and the song is, really, mediocre at best. Give it a rest, Y108.

It’s called an “Off” button. Use it if you do not like the song. The rest of us happen to like it.

Kayda,

It is a real shame that you view the song Heaven as a mediocre song. I hope you have not lost anyone on 9/11. If you actually sit and listen to the words, you will find that it just isn’t about those who did die on 9/11 but instead it could be for anyone who has lost someone special to them.

Omg That totally broke my heart. Knowing those beautiful kids have to grow up without their Daddys cause of those RAG HEAD Bastereds.

At 6’2″ and over 250 lbs, I’m not ashamed to admit, I broke down in tears while listening to this song and thinking of the hundreds of children for whom this song has been and will continue to be REALITY!

I heard this song while driving down the road and It brought tears to my eyes and my 12 yr, old son is saying change the channel as the tears are rolling down his face. Very beautiful song

i am not so sure if i think the song is the right one for the occassion — but i would love to find every one of those sweet brave kids and just hug the stuffing out of them.

I agree

you are the ignorant idiot. shame on you, you are selfish. God Bless America & all the people whether military or public servants (yes, that would be the police, fire & so much more) that help & protect us each & everyday for very little in pay compared to their sacrifice.

bill

that tribute is awesome
Calla

Okay, so I’m 12, I don’t remember this. But I’ve always had my dad. And to hear those kids talking, and to know they’ve never had a dad, breaks my heart. My best friend told me to listen to this, and I did. And I don’t care who you are, that’s the saddest song ever. Thank God that justice has been served. <3

I was sitting at my desk at work when this came on this morning, and I had to get up and go outside in order to pull myself together. I don’t think I’ve ever had a song affect me the way this one did. What a beautiful song.

I just listened to it again after 9 years and I still cried. I’m an aussie that really feels for all of you that have to live on with only memories xxx

i agree with Bill, Kayda b needs to move to the middle east. that was such a great tribute i think it should be played every hour on the hour on 9-11. play it as often as you want to y108. there are so many children that lost a parent, i cant imagine if my kids would have had to go through that. i dare anyone to listen to that without tearing up….

I love this song I heard it for the first time while driving I almost had to pull over because I couldnt see where I was going.
jess

I really love this song. Considering I was only 5 years old when this all happened I don’t really remember it. But this song really put it into perspective for me. So of course I really wanted to download this song, specifically this version of the song with the little girl. Can anyone help me.
pat

That song is beautiful! I’ve been very lucky I’ve had my dad all my life and he is almost 86 and I can’t imagine losing him and i had him growing up, And those poor babies will never know the joy of having daddy there in person, only in spirit. Play it every hour to honor all of the children who lost their loved one.

Omg. The radio station I listen to jus played this song and the little girl couldn’t even get her first few words out before I was crying. Very touching song. I can’t believe it’s been 10 years. God Bless the USA. We will never forget
