这首歌的确第一次演唱是在他母亲的葬礼上,但是这首歌写作背静是这样说的:
The song was originally written as an instrumental piece and titled "Silent Story." Parts of the melody resemble the traditional Irish tune Londonderry Air, (especially the opening phrase of its chorus), which is best known as the usual tune to the 1910 song Danny Boy. L?vland approached Irish novelist and songwriter Brendan Graham to write the lyrics to his melody after reading Graham's novels.[2]
