[Ellen] Thank you so much for watching our video of "Far Side Banks of Jordan."
This song is very special to our family, we actually learned it to sing
at our Grandpa's funeral after he passed away in 2018.
And we've had a lot of people come and talk to us
that the song had been an encouragement to them as well,
so hope it reminds you of those that you love
that are no longer with us, that we get to see someday soon.
For all the things you've wanted to know about our band, and probably more...
