AMERICAN SONGWRITER SPECIAL: Award-Winning Songwriter Michael Farren’s Heartfelt Performance of ‘Checking In’ Reminds Us All to Call Our Dads
A little less than two years ago, Breitbart News caught wind of a song that was starting to go viral on Tik Tok and Instagram. No fancy music video. No money behind it. Just one of its co-writers, Michael Farren, sitting outside a trailer in rural Tennessee with an acoustic guitar. The intimate performance along with intensely poignant lyrics, crafted by Farren, Ken Hart, and Garrett Jacobs, was all it took to send listeners reaching for the Kleenex box….and then reaching for the phone to call their dads, or searching for messages from their Dads who had passed. The song was called “Checking In.”
