This EP has 3 songs only, which was kinda disappointing for me at first. First is The Man I Used to Be, then The Call, Kennon's hit single and last is Some People Piss Me Off.
Like most people, I fell in love with Kennon after hearing his first single, The Call. It tells a story about a man who was about to commit suicide and a girl who was about to have an abortion. Both of them received calls at the last minute, and realised just how much those around them care about their feelings. A moment ago, they were desperate enough to consider such drastic measures, but after the calls, both changed their minds.
In this song, Kennon is trying to tell us to conect more with the ones we love, because who knows, our call might be the difference between life and death for them. It might be our call that ultimately helps them make the right choices in life, just as they were about to make a terrible mistake. I love this song not just because of Kennon's gritty vocals, but also due to how meaningful the song truly is.
My next favourite song on this EP has to be Some People Piss Me Off, in which Kennon sings about how some people in life just annoys him. It's a fun song and I can easily identify with it, because in everyday life, someone is sure to piss you off once in a while! :-)
And last of all comes The Man I Used to Be, which I love too, just not as much as the other too. Kennon talks about salvation and how he had been 'right to the edge of the great unknown'. Because of this, he changed himself. This is a pretty meaningful track too. Kennon surely knows how to churn them out.
Anyway, go get this EP if you're sure you won't be disappointed by the small amount of songs in it. It's really good though, so that's a plus. I'm hoping that he'll release a full album next, and then we can really bask in the melody of Kennon's rough, country voice.
