This is amazing! I found this at the Jill Stanek blog:
Debuting on the country charts at #55 in October 2009, newcomer (although in his 40s) country singer Matt Kennon's song, The Call, is hopefully still gaining traction. In December Roughstrock named The Call one of the best singles of 2009, describing it as "powerful and proud"...
The song hinges upon 2 phone calls, 1 inadvertent and the other intentional. In the 1st verse a guy interrupts his best friend's suicide attempt with news of a party. In the 2nd verse a guy convinces a girlfriend to cancel her abortion because he decides he is ready to have a baby. On the surface, each of these verses has a few minor flaws. One has to wonder about a suicide attempt which can be so lightly derailed and, like most mainstream stories, we aren't supposed to question teenage parenthood as the superior choice for pregnant teens. However, Kennon sells it....
