Is this a song she wrote ?
Sounds good -
I don’t know if she wrote the lyrics, but that is her performing the song.
Yes her and her husband wrote it right after 9-11 for some reason it has always been under the radar.
That’s beautiful.
It’s sad that it is so out of the norm to hear a celebrity say they love America.
Agreed. I am trying my annual push for this song to get better recognized. Honestly, I was shocked right after 9-11 that this song didn’t become a staple for Christmas songs. Hauntingly beautiful and Pat as usual proves she is one of the best we have ever had in pop/rock music.
Thanks, I didn’t know about that one. Here is another non-liberal Christmas Song, ‘Government Santa’:

Pat Benatar has always been a true talent.
I just sent that link to everyone on my email list. They will love it!
She has one helluva powerful voice packed inside of that little frame of hers.
May God bless her.
The song was recorded in the early eighties.
WHAAAA? IS THIS THE HIT ME WITH YOUR BEST SHOT BENATAR?
ping for later
Wrong. So wrong.

As a native New Yorker 9-11 affected her tremendously...born in Brooklyn. This song was not written in the 80s.
Yes.
Exactly which song are we talking about. “Shadows of the Night” or some other song?
Thanks for bringing this to my attention - I'd never heard it before, despite having most of Pat's music.
her “Invincible” should be the Official Theme Song of the GWOT
Pat Benatar, Redrocks 1982 one of the best shows I ever saw.
