The story behind the song

This song began as an instrumental piece called "Silent Story" before lyrics were added by Brendan Graham, who was approached by composer Rolf Løvland after Løvland read his novels. It was first performed at the funeral of Løvland's mother, giving it a deeply personal and emotional origin. The lyrics speak to the power of another's support in lifting one up during times of weakness. When playing this song, channel the profound sense of gratitude and strength found in connection with others.
