My Girl Scout troop went camping when I was nine, and we visited the site. Ever since, I have had this weird sort of internal sensing of children's spirits. It's fairly scary. This song makes you feel the compounded sadness. Not only for the children, to be lost in the winter in the mountains, but also without the luxuries we are accustomed to today in everyday living. The parent's despair, the boys lonliness and uncertainty, the urgency of the search... all captured by this song.

Julie Lee played last night with Sarah Siskind in Bayport, NY and she sang this song...You could here a pin drop. A really great talent - brillinat songwriter and nice person. You should try to see them while they are out on tour.

Did anyone else hear "three little boys" in the beginning? ? All my friends heard it too. Then I replayed it and it said two.

its a really beautiful piece of verbal poetry that's also one of the most heartbreaking and horrifying (in a good way) songs I've ever heard. it doesn't matter how many times you hear it, its simply impossible to listen without dissolving into tears.

When I was a little girl from Crawford Co. Penna. my Grandmother used to tell me that her parents often talked about those little boys. My Great Grandparents were from Cochranton Pa.
