The song �Between the Lines� came to fruition after Ragan met with directors Ty Ponder and Scott Bass through a mutual friend. Following a day-long surf trip and a briefing on the film, Ragan took books of transcribed interviews home, and days later delivered a song interpreting the Vietnam War and its effects on two men�s lives, thoughts and balances; the natural born fighter and the natural born peace maker.
�For me I believe the most important part of seeing this film and having the opportunity to write a song for it, was the learning,� says Ragan. �Recognizing the past days, lives lost and freedom made like those in Between the Lines was essential and shouldn�t be taken for granted. Learning from others mistakes, realizations and true inner victories put the words �freedom� and �war� in completely different frame for me. I am proud to have been invited to take part.�
�Chuck spent the afternoon with us reviewing film material and reading books filled with transcribed interviews,� said Between the Lines director Ty Ponder. �In just a few days, he wrote a gritty song reflecting the atmosphere of the Vietnam era and capturing the content and spirit of the project.�
