Gary says of this song:
"The song was
originally written for a musical I had been writing for a while looking at
colonial conflicts in the Caribbean involving British soldiers during the reign
of King George the Third, but then later on reflection having been a member of
the TA Royal Green Jackets and then later with the Royal Signals it naturally
lent itself to being a song that would pay tribute to all serving soldiers both
home and abroad. In a larger sense we meet soldier’s everyday. I watched my
mother and father work tirelessly to raise us eight children relentlessly, other
single parents raising up their children on their own, people who still hope
when it seems all hope is gone, the platoon leader determined to get his men
home safe. Life is full of challenges and it’s the determined, the consistent,
the weak who won’t give in, the strong who know how to sacrifice. It’s about
the soldier in all of us that is not ready to sleep."
