The Connells are an American band from Raleigh, North Carolina. They play a guitar-oriented, melodic, power pop style of rock music, with introspective lyrics that reflect the American South.
Guitarist Mike Connell formed the band in 1984, along with his brother David Connell on bass, Doug MacMillan on vocals, and future filmmaker John Schultz on drums. This initial four-person line-up was quickly supplemented by the addition of George Huntley on second guitar, keyboards, and vocals.

This is a beautiful song from a group from my hometown of Raleigh, NC. It is rumored to be about a young boy who fell while riding his bike and landed in a deep ditch. A big rain came and because he broke both of his legs, he could not get up from the ditch and so the young boy drowned.
