Soldier in the Picture is a new song by Canadian singer-songwriter Kelsey Hayes. The song features the voices of the Canadian Military Wives Choir, an organization founded to support their family members in uniform. Soldier in the Picture captures the magnitude of the sacrifice made by countless members of the Canadian Military in service of Canada and its people. Kelsey was inspired to write this song based on the experiences of her own family – her grandfather in particular, who fought in the Second World War and died of related complications in the early 1960s. What began as a school project at the age of fifteen quickly became a personal expression of a family history that is familiar to anyone who has had a loved one fight for something that they believe in. “I made the decision to record the song in the hopes that it could provide some comfort to the families of our service men and women who are waiting for their safe return while they serve our country. The Canadian Military Wives Choir is deeply involved in charitable work with the families of those in the service as well as the veterans who have made sacrifices in their lives to ensure that we don’t have to. This is why I am pleased to to donate 50% of the proceeds from the sale of the song to the MWC in order to help them set up chapters across Canada and continue to do the great work that they have been involved in.”
