Carne, I can easily imagine how, aside from everyone experiencing things differently, anyone who was in NY or around Ground Zero at the time could have a very different view on Illume or indeed be apprehensive about it. Which is why in my opinion Stevie shouldnt've called it 9/11 and, perhaps to a lesser extent, dedicated it to Rudy Guiliani and the firemen etc. But then i don't like the idea of telling Stevie what to call her songs and who to dedicate them to, either. But yeah, maybe if it was just called Illume, not Illume (9/11), it could be understood in a more general sense. In fact, it would have really added so much mystique. Imagine hearing that song for the first time and not knowing what Stevie said it was about. And add some contradictory quotes about its inspiration up on inherownwords
