The song "When You Come Home" will touch your heart, sooth your soul and have you reaching for the closest box of tissues. To support the troops, Marxx is donating a portion of the song's proceeds to the non-profit group, Soldiers Angels.
- Des Moines, IA (1888PressRelease) September 01, 2010 - In honor of the thousands of U.S. troops currently overseas, independent hip-hop/rap artist Tripp Marxx presents a heart-wrenching story of soldier and his daughter in his latest song titled "When You Come Home". The song sheds light on the lives of soldiers and their families, and provides an uplifting message, giving families hope that their loved ones will return safe and sound.
"I think a lot of soldiers that serve our country are underappreciated. I really wanted to do this as a way to say thank you for everything they've done," Marxx said. "I want to give the troops and their families hope in hard times like this."
Recently, Marxx created a video to accompany the song (composed of various photos of soldiers and their families) and uploaded it to the largest video sharing site on the net - YouTube (view the video at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HDi90FLs_oc). The video is quickly rising in views and has been widely shared across various sites on the Internet, making the biggest indent within the Facebook community.

"There's nothing more satisfying and humbling than to know how many people have been touched by this song. It goes to show you how powerful music really is," Marxx said.
