Story Behind The Song

As a child my closest companion was my brother. Older by less the year, my brother, along with my imagination, were my chief forms of entertainment, escape, adventure, as well as support. As we have aged and raised children of our own, mostly boys, that bond of brotherhood remained. It transcends hardship, competition, trial, tribulation, tragedy, remorse, regret, envy, jealousy, anger, and even grief. Fosters harmony, respect, loyalty, empathy, camaraderie, esprit de corps and love. For some it can be the one true thread that runs through a life, beginning to end.  Witnessing that same bond amongst our sons, was on my mind when this song came through my hands. My sonic brother, Steve Reinthal, one of my favorite guitarists on the planet, plays the accompaniment.
