In November of 2015 I read an exposé in Canadian newspaper, The Globe and Mail called "The Abandoned" by Renata D'Aliesio. In it I learned that at least 59 Canadian soldiers had died by suicide since leaving Afghanistan. Since then this staggering statistic has risen. These stories are tragic but avoidable. I wrote this song to cast a light on this weighty topic. The music video, intertwines visuals of our recording process at Desert Fish Studios with footage of brave North American soldiers in Afghanistan. I hope this song can raise awareness about this alarming epidemic.
