*Why is the song titled “In Loving Memory Of…” instead of “In Loving Memory Of 9/11”?
This song carries a mystical history. Gladiee had long envisioned writing the final track for his album, “9/11 Love Story,” with the title “In Loving Memory Of 9/11.” Then, on the evening of August 10, 2017, inspiration struck unexpectedly. As if guided by a higher power, Gladiee felt the muse’s presence and eagerly began composing the song. By the end of that evening, the melody was nearly complete, flowing effortlessly as if the music itself was meant to be. On the morning of August 11, 2017, filled with excitement, Gladiee shared the nearly finished melody with his colleague, Joseph T. Taranto, at work. However, that same day, Gladiee received devastating news. His dear friend Mitchell Kaminsky ,68, had tragically died in a motorcycle accident on Swan Mountain Road in Colorado on the evening of August 10, 2017, at 5:30 PM, just two hours before Gladiee began composing. The loss of his friend hit Gladiee hard. Reflecting on the timing of his inspiration, it felt as though an angel had been sent from heaven, guiding him to write a requiem for his recently deceased friend. In his moment of grief, Gladiee decided to change the title of his new song from “In Loving Memory Of 9/11” to “In Loving Memory Of…” This new title offered a broader tribute, honoring not only the victims of 9/11 but also his beloved friend Mitchell and all those who have tragically lost their lives, including those who succumbed to cancer and other illnesses related to the 9/11 tragedy.
This all-encompassing tribute reflects the widespread impact of the events and serves as an enduring memory of all those affected, embodying respect and remembrance for the countless lives touched by these tragedies.
