Reflecting on a past encounter or relationship, “The One To Call” is unique yet familiar, as it sounds something that would remind one of a typical grunge, indie rock song that you can’t quite put your finger on, but that’s because the influence remains as is, and the track is simply John Goldrust’s.
The song’s aura consists of a hint of mystery, thrill, encompassing the type of tune fully with what people are usually used to. The flow is consistent, allowing listeners to get lost in its dark depths: “You were the one to call / You were alone / I was the one to fall / All on my own”.
It somewhat resembles a distorted, disheveled mind, trying to gain insight on a particular situation. In this case, self-betrayal due to seemingly giving in to something he initially didn’t want to. It talks about something he labels as precious fleeting, and the realization that the individual at hand does not owe him anything, as they did not promise anything to begin with.
Overall, a great tune to help sort the self out. You get easily lost in the calm, uneasy rhythm, and the lines within the track are easy to comprehend, yet instill intrigue, as if being offered to listeners as food for thought.
