Most people can relate to the statement, "I don't have a lot of friends, I just know a lot of people." Well, that's me. And of that handful of people that you consider real friends, how many do you keep in touch with? This song is for a group of friends that I need to touch base with and check in. You know who you are.

Music is, was, and probably always will be an often brutal and thankless career path for most musicians and songwriters. Lots of work for not much money would be way too simple of a summation because for serious songwriters and musicians, the emotional toll of trying to forge a path in music proves to be emotionally unbearable from time to time. For most, money is secondary to their passion, but rejection after rejection and the creeping feeling that the sacrifice, expense, and work won’t ever amount to anything is often so damaging that it makes even the most promising question themselves. Learning to cope with disappointment is not an option if you love making music and want to share it with people and that in a nutshell explains the reason for writing this song. A reminder that writing is supposed to be fun.

This song was originally written by songwriter Jeff Goffman, who graciously allowed me to contribute and hopefully impact the listener by creating a greater awareness of the sacrifices made by all American veterans, both living and fallen.
