I was deeply moved first by the photograph and then recently when I discovered the song "The Falling Man" on the album Bad for you released in 2020. I think the lyrics are as haunting as the photograph.
The man was never identified.
Time magazine stated in 2016
The true power of Falling Man, is less about who its subject was and more about what he became: a makeshift unknown Soldier in an often unknown and uncertain war, suspended forever in history."
LYRICS :
I once had a home, once had a life
I'm just a soul without wings to fly
Just happen to be caught in a frame
You look at me, you don't know my name
I'll never die, I'll never land
Keep me alive, call me what I am
The falling man
Somebody's son, somebody's dad
Somebody's love, who ain't coming back
And my God was there when I had to choose
Whispered a prayer, stepped into the blue
I'll never die, I'll never land
Keep me alive, call me what I am
The falling man
Septembers will come,Septembers will go
I'll still hear the voice of three thousand souls
I'll never die, I'll never land
Keep me alive, call me what I am
A flash in the sky without a chance
Frozen in time, forever, I am
The falling man
