I wrote this song for my brother, Jason, after his passing in a Navy SEAL parachuting training accident on March 18, 2015.  I started the writing session (a few weeks after his passing) not thinking that I'd write a song about my brother.  As the music and lyrics came to me, I realized it was a song about him.  As I wrote further, I realized it wasn't me talking to my brother, it was my brother speaking through the lyrics to me.  "Go, boy, go," at the end is what I think he would be saying to me, but also what I am saying to him.
