At first listen, Felix Linden's single, "Dying to Come Home," sounds like it would be playing in a cabana somewhere in the Caribbean instead of an Army barracks.
With his soft vocals and light-rock sound, a listener might not suspect the deeper meaning of the song. Yet by carefully listening to the lyrics, a sad story about a young soldier's desire to return to his home " and his untimely death " is revealed.
"It's just a song detailing the heartbreaking tragedy of war. It's not really pro-war or anti-war," Linden said. "It's just real heartbreaking to see soldiers dying like that."

Linden hopes to release a full-length album this August entitled "More Than a Memory." According to Linden, each song to him is different.
