SIRENS for TULSA

Let's face it, we all hate hearing sirens (not the song) right? Whether it be ambulance, cops, tornado, natural disaster, whatever. They suck. Let me tell you a little story about a small town I live in not too far from Tulsa...Coffeyville, Kansas population of around 10,000 probably a little less about 70 miles due north of Tulsa. Oil refineries are common in this area of the country, we have one in our town, Tulsa also has a few. Towards the end of July there was a pretty significant fire at the one in our town, the one my husband just happens to work at in the unit he works in. Luck has it he was on his one day off (thank goodness) and 4 men were terribly hurt. They spent a pretty good amount of time in the burn unit at Hillcrest Burn Center in Tulsa, undergoing multiple surgeries. They had to learn to walk and talk, eat and drink. Unfortunately one of the men did not survive. Rest In Peace Greg, you may be gone but you'll never be forgotten. I know that this has hit this community pretty hard, especially these workers, they are more like brothers, working 12 hour shifts they often spend more time with co-workers than their own families...
I know personally this song has really put life into perspective for my husband in many ways and has helped him deal with such a tragedy as I'm sure it has many others. Just hoping we get to hear it!

    They played it in OKC and Eddie mentioned the Tornado disaster (Moore,OK) and Kings of Leon Tornado Relief Show.

    They've played Sirens at I think every show this LB Tour... So I would be surprised if it isn't on the setlist.
