Canadian singer and songwriter Brian Byrne has released a special song that honours the people who have lost loved ones to suicide.

Arizona (I Miss You Most) is available for download on iTunes and proceeds from those downloads will benefit Collateral Damage, a Canadian suicide awareness organization founded by Scott Chisholm.

Chisholm lost his father to suicide when he was only 17.

The song was No. 2 on the iTunes download list earlier in the week.

Byrne, the former frontman for I Mother Earth, hopes the song will prompt people to confront such a difficult subject.
