3. Is that your first time? If so ... awesome!

Or are you just remembering the first time you heard it?

It felt sad the first time I heard, then I immediately played it again, and looked up the lyrics, just to make sure I was following correctly, and then I REALLY got choked up.

I still can now, after like 100 times of hearing this song. Hell, I can play it and sing it myself ... and i've even cried just trying to get through playing it.

TBH the very first time I heard it I was like ... okay, the wife of the dead guy has got 'the sleeping in her dress ... blues', cause she'd been ... I dunno, up all night, worried, so many times while he was away.

Then the 2nd time it clicked ... Dress Blues ... Marines formal uniform ... I was like ... derp, of course!

As has happened many times with Jason songs I went ... damn ... that's genius!
