"The Call," by Matt Kennon is a very meaningful song to me. The song is about people on their last rope, and about to give up on life; when their loved ones call and give them hope. Throughout the song it gives different scenarios of people about to give up, and then re-thinking their situation, all because of one call.
The first part of the song is about a young adult about to take his life. He has his finger on the trigger; when his best friend calls. His friend invites him to the lake to hang out, and let him know he has been missed. Something as small as a phone call can save your loved ones life.
Next, the song talks about a young boy and girl who do not think before acting one late night, and end up with a situation teenagers might have a hard time handling. How are teenagers going to care for a young child when their both headed off to school? It goes on to tell how the young girl is in the doctor's office about to have a abortion because they can't support a child; when they have so many goals and different plans. As she is sitting in the office, she gets a phone call from her boyfriend that changes everything. He tells her how their going to make it work and start a life of their own with a baby.
As a Christian, I believe everything happens for a reason. These calls did not happen by chance. In this song the man about to end his life, and the young girl about to make a life changing decision; were able to re-think their decisions. Each of us has a responsibility to our friends, loved ones, and sometimes even strangers, to make that call and follow our heart. If someone enters your mind and you can't get them out of it, maybe just maybe, that is God's way of nudging us to make that call.
Wow Lexi that song really means a lot when you see the video, I have only heard the song a few times. It just shows the importance of friends and loved ones. It’s a miracle how just one call could change their lives forever. I have never thought about how much one considerate call could have such a huge impact on someone like that. I will make sure that when I am thinking about calling someone next time I actually do it and not put it off. That is a great song!
ReplyDeleteWhen i heard this song it really made me stop and think about just how important my friends and family mean to me. It makes me realize that at any given moment you could lose a love one. It is scary that someones life could rely on a phone call. Calling and telling someone that you love and are thinking about them could really save their life.
