Solidarity Forever

[asterroc]

Today I had the honor of hearing a beautiful soulful rendition of "Solidarity Forever" while at a gigantic union convention in New Orleans. The singer accompanied herself on acoustic guitar, her phrasing was lilting, taking liberties with the pitch and rhythm in a way that added to the meaning of the lyrics, and her voice was rich and sweet. The part that brought tears to my eyes though was the final verse in this version, describing our brothers and sisters who ran back into the towers as they collapsed - the union makes us strong. If anyone can find me that verse's lyrics, then you rock.
