This reminds me when i was young and my dad would play Soldier boy's albums on repeat. One of the only times i saw him cry was one of hundreds of times that he played "Christmas at home with Soldier Boy". I don't remember if anything triggered it or if it was just Soldier Boy's voice but my Dad just started sobbing as if he was told that his wife had died and so did everyone that he ever knew. He cried for a bit until the album stopped playing so my Dad just stood up and put it back on repeat, sat back down and then proceeded like nothing had happened. Sitting here listening to this, I think about my Dad. It's a very vivid memory, like it happened yesterday. It's only because of Soldier Boy that this sticks in my head so hard. It reminded me that even the strongest men can cry and that it's alright. Thank you Soldier Boy. Rest in peace, hero.
