The story behind the song
This eulogic ballad offers a tender farewell, acknowledging a life that knew trouble and was no stranger to the rain. Vince Gill began writing it after the death of country singer Keith Whitley, and finished it a few years later when his older brother Bob passed away. It’s a heartfelt wish for a loved one to find peace, to go to Heaven shouting and singing with a sweet voice. Released in 1995 on the album When Love Finds You, the song plays like a comforting embrace for those grieving.
