Single Review - 2am Call - The Rising

 


The latest in the monthly releases from The Rising is 2am Call.  A very much pop country track with guitar intro and layered vocals it touches on almost traditional country themes – relationships and drinking!

Opening with our storyteller sat in a bar reminiscing about the time “she” left, using the drinks to numb the memories and coulda beens/shoulda beens, with the added twist that the split happened at a bar.

It is a familiar story, drinking to remember, drinking to forget and using the bartender as your unpaid therapist!

Another bottle, another drink and another 2am call

Yes, those 2am calls are familiar too!  It seems that the pull of the ex is “stronger than whisky, stronger than tequila

The track itself is quite up-tempo, well produced with great instrumentation although a little bouncier than you might expect for such a topic but it still seems to work – the song isn’t trying to convey a message, it is more a story of how things are – and no whisky, tequila or 2am call can change it!

2am Call is available now from all major platforms

Find and follow The Rising on Facebook on their website and on Spotify, and catch their regular livestreams on Monday evenings at 8pm
