Twenty-five years have passed since September 11, 2001, but for those of us who lived through that morning, some memories never really fade.

In this episode of The Willie Jackerson Experiment, I look back at the day that changed America forever—the blue September sky, the disbelief, the lives lost, the first responders who ran toward danger while others were trying to escape, and the families who have carried that loss for a quarter of a century.

And because this show has always told history through heavy music, the soundtrack matters.

I feature the powerful Sabaton track “In the Name of God,” along with my own original memorial song, “The Sky Remembers,” written and produced specifically for the 25th anniversary of 9/11. My song begins in reflection and sorrow before growing into something much heavier—a tribute to memory, courage, loss, and the people who refused to let tragedy have the final word.

This isn't about politics.

It's about remembering that behind every number was a person. A family. A story. A life.

Twenty-five years later, the skyline has changed.
The world has changed.
But we remember.
