ABOUT THE SONG:

Initially inspired by those haunting images of the Aleppo boy but then our thoughts went to all the children who suffer the horror of war. Russia’s invasion of Ukraine has only heightened our concern for this senseless act of aggression upon the Ukrainian people and as parent and grandparents, we can’t imagine the grief felt by those who have lost their children and for those children who have lost the innocence.

The whole band got right behind this one and the arrangement is the product of their passion for the song.in those days who spoke out socially and politically were silenced and considered trouble makers, so musicians used the stage as their podium and lyrics as their speeches,” in order to make social comment.
