	I have to get better organized!!! Not only have I misplaced all the information about this song, but I also seem to have lost (deleted?) the original sequence. As I recall, this tune uses a 7-tone Indian scale. Maybe that's important, maybe not. The title came from something I heard an Arab-American gentleman say a few days after the 9/11 attacks: "America has moved closer to the fire." I do not engage in the flag-waving, the histrionics, the jingoism, or the maudlin claptrap that pass for patriotism in the USA (millions and millions are flying flags, but almost no one votes--where's the patriotism in that?). This is not a tribute song, just a musical interpretation of the chaos and confusion that so many of us felt in the days following the attack.
