folk rock supergroup Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young. It was released on the albumLooking Forward in 1999.Graham Nash wrote the song following the June 1999 death of 14-year-old Julia Petrino, an Alexandria, Virginia, girl with whom Nash had developed a correspondence during her illness with cancer.When he performed this song on the CSNY2K tour in 2000, Nash introduced it by saying, "This song is for Julia." Her name is included in the acknowledgements section of the album's liner notes.
Though Graham Nash felt inspired by Miss Petrino to write this song, the lyrics are directed toward her parents, from whom Nash had received updates on Julia's condition. The lyrics express a wish for healing for the bereaved parents: "Keep holding on to the love that has made you strong/ And someday soon heartache will all be gone."
