This song may be about David Nail’s grandfather but it reminded me not only of my own grandparents and even my parents but my daughter. I would give anything just to hear her voice one more time or at least see her smile. If you’ve lost someone you’ve loved you need to take 5 minutes and listen to this song then share it with everyone you know.

“I haven’t found the words to describe how proud I am of this song! It came to me one night without warning and took me over three months to finish. My Grandaddy was my hero and having a son, who I could name after him, was something I dreamed of my entire adult life. This is a tribute to him as a husband, father, grandfather and great-grandfather. He was a wonderful man!” Nail said.
If I could call
Like I used to
If you were only just a phone call away
Yea I would call
Just to hear you
You always had a way of making everything okay
I wouldn’t be here wide awake
If I could call

About David Nail
Hailing from Kennett, Missouri, David Nail is well-respected up and down Music Row. Some might even call him a “tour de force” as his songs pull no punches in evoking the demons with which he has wrestled through much of his life. The GRAMMY-nominated multi-platinum singer/songwriter’s early releases, I’m About To Come Alive, The Sound Of A Million Dreams, I’m A Fire and Fighter, ignited his reputation as an innovator and creative risk-taker yet left Nail feeling restless. This led to the departure of the only record company home he’d ever known, MCA Nashville, where he’d formed friendships that endure even now. Through dealing with his own journey of mental illness and the feeling of needing to “rebel against what people expect you to be,” Nail began making his most “organic” work to date, David Nail & The Well Ravens, with Jason Hall and Andrew Petroff. That project liberated Nail and propelled him into his next adventure. Writing solo for the next few months led to his debut solo independent EP Oh, Mother, a reflective piece of work. Of the title track, Rolling Stone noted that “the song creeps in like a sunrise — quiet, restrained cello and keys are the only underpinning for Nail’s powerful vocals at first. But then it slowly builds to something more massive and majestic.” That release was followed by Bootheel 2020 and Bootheel 2021, projects dedicated to the singer/songwriter’s hometown in the “bootheel” of Missouri. Nail plans on releasing more music, leaving behind any self-imposed restrictions. In Nail’s own words, “My philosophy has always been, I just hope to have a good enough year that I can have a next year while staying as true to myself as I possibly can.” Find more
