Following the attacks on September 11, many people have looked to art, in all its forms, for consolation.
Did any piece of art help comfort you following the attacks?

Jean Holabird of Cambridge painted "10-3 - Murrary and Greenwich, 3 p.m.," a watercolor scene from Ground Zero. Many artists responded visually to the September 11 attacks.

Even now The world is bleedin' But feelin' just fine All numb in our castle Where we're always free to choose Never free enough to find I wish somethin' would break Cuz we're runnin' out of timeAnd I am overcome I am overcome Holy water in my lungs I am overcome These women in the street Pullin' out their hair My master's in the yard Givin' light to the unaware This plastic little place Is just a step amongst the stairs And I am overcome I am overcome baby Holy water in my lungs I am overcome So drive me out Out to that open field Turn the ignition off And spin around Your help is here But I'm parked in this open space Blockin' the gates of love
I am overcome I am overcome Holy water in my lungs I am overcome I am overcome I am overcome Holy water in my lungs I am overcome Beautiful drowning This beautiful drowning This holy water This holy water Is in my lungs And I am overcome I am overcome I am overcome I am overcome
