A few words from TJ....... This song came about after reading a newspaper article, this article shook me to the core. It was about a young boy named Raymond Steed, at first the name meant nothing, until I read on. Raymond was 14 year and 207 days old when he died making him the youngest ever serviceman to die in world war II. He enrolled in the merchant navy when he was just 14, what courage he must of had for his tender age. This really moved me and I had to write about it. For me songs are alive when there played, peoples stories, our own stories, Raymond's story and I wanted people to know it. Raymond Steed sailed out a boy and died a man. Thomas Joseph.
