The story is about two brothers, Jake and Sam, who grew up in a small town in Texas. They were very close, and they shared a love for music, especially country and folk. They learned how to play the guitar from their father, who was also a musician. They dreamed of forming a band and performing on stage.
However, their lives took different paths when they became adults. Jake decided to join the army, feeling a sense of duty and patriotism. He wanted to serve his country and protect his family. He was deployed to Afghanistan, where he faced danger and violence every day.
Sam decided to pursue his passion for music, feeling a sense of creativity and freedom. He wanted to express himself and entertain people. He moved to Nashville, where he tried to make it as a singer and songwriter.
They kept in touch through letters and phone calls, but they also grew apart. They had different experiences, opinions, and goals. They sometimes argued and disagreed, but they always ended their conversations with "I love you, brother".
One day, Sam received a call from Jake's commander. He told him that Jake had been killed in action, by an improvised explosive device. He told him that Jake was a brave and loyal soldier, and that he died a hero.
Sam was shocked and heartbroken. He couldn't believe that his brother was gone. He felt guilty for not being there for him, and for not understanding him better. He wished he could see him one more time, and tell him how much he loved him.
He decided to go back to his hometown, where Jake's funeral was held. He saw his parents, who were devastated by the loss of their son. He saw his friends, who were supportive and sympathetic. He saw Jake's coffin, draped with the American flag.
He decided to pay tribute to his brother by singing a song at the funeral. He chose Hey Brother by Avicii feat. Dan Tyminski, which was one of Jake's favorite songs. The song is about brotherhood and loyalty, and how blood is thicker than water. The song also features vocals by Dan Tyminski, who is a country singer and guitarist.
He sang the song with tears in his eyes, remembering all the good times he had with Jake. He sang the lyrics that expressed his feelings and thoughts, such as:
"Hey brother, there's an endless road to rediscover""Hey sister, know the water's sweet but blood is thicker""Oh if the sky comes falling down for you There's nothing in this world I wouldn't do"
He also sang the chorus that repeated the words "Hey brother", as if he was talking to Jake directly.
He finished the song with a final "I love you, brother". He then hugged his parents and thanked them for raising him and Jake well. He then saluted Jake's coffin and said goodbye to him.
He then decided to honor Jake's memory by living a life full of love and purpose. He decided to follow his motto: "Live a life you will remember".
