I just got back from a back to back deployment and this song couldn't be more true. great song!!!

Nice track, shipmate. I feel the pain, I know the struggle, and you capture it so eloquently. BZ

Nice, my daughter is on the ship. Fair winds and following seas!

who ever knew Maxwell....good job and you and all your shipmates are strong .... you can do it...

My husband is aboard the Nimitz with you. Stay hydrated and may God keep you safe.

I just heard this song on AFN and had to find it. Is there any chance an acapella of this anywhere that I can use in the future?

Emay Holmes is a serving airman on USS Nimitz; by day he helps launch F-18 jets from the flight deck and by night he crafts heart-wrenching soul music in the depths of the boat.

‘The Deployment Song’ (Prod. Ben Bandz) is the first release from Emay’s upcoming ‘Deep Down’ LP. It’s a weighty ballad that explores the trials of military life, an existence where relationships are pulled to breaking point by extended periods away from home.
