Derek Sholl "When They Come Back"
Loading...
Uploaded by dereksholl on Oct 20, 2009
Derek Sholl's new song, When They Come Back captures beautifully the experience of our returning combat veterans as they struggle to make the transition from warrior to civilian while dealing with the physical and mental wounds they've brought with them from the battlefield. Sholl avoids the ultra-patriotic tone of such songs as Toby Keith's American Soldier and Courtesy of the Red White and Blue for a much more honest and personal accounting of what it means to be an American warrior growing up and following in his father's footsteps.
With his powerful voice setting the emotional tone of the song, and the lyrics speaking honestly and with intensity rarely seen in the pop music scene, When They Come Back is destined to speak for a generation. This is a rare gem, one that will stand for years to come. And decades from now, when the veteran is asked by his son or grandson, "What was it like?" the answer will be, "Listen to this song. That's the way it was for all of us."
- John R. Bruning, Co-Author of Shadow of the Sword

What a great song. People who remember our Veterans make those of us who are, thankful that we didn't waste our time serving our country. May we always remember our troops and pray for their safety and swift return home.
