For King + Country And Lee Brice Official Lyric Video For Emotional 'Checking In' - More Music

This music video of ‘Checking In’ by for King + Country and Lee Brice begins with someone using a rotary telephone to make a phone call. Throughout the rest of the video, you can see different versions of telephones, including cell phones. But when you read the lyrics you can tell this is quite an emotional song. 

‘Checking In’ is a song about the emotions that someone can feel after a loved one passes away. In the case of this song, it is a son missing his father. The father first leaves the son a voicemail message to check in with him. 

After the father’s death, the son continues to listen to the message and even responds to it with updates. The song also talks about how much he misses him and how it is without him there. 

“There's no telling how many times I've let that message play
He's been gone a while but it still feels like yesterday
I even call him back sometimes
Wishing he'd pick up again”

‘Checking In’ is a beautiful song about loss, and how we can miss someone no longer here. Even if we know that they are in a much better place, it is missing the everyday that can be difficult to process. And when someone leaves us, all we want is to be able to check in with them, like before. 

The song is from the upcoming soundtrack for the movie, Unsung Hero, which comes out in April. The movie follows the Smallbone family who moves to the United States from Australia in the 1990s. The movie follows Rebecca, whose stage name is Rebecca St. James, and her brothers Joel and Luke Smallbone who make up for King and Country, as they become Christian recording artists.  

“But as it is written, Eye has not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God has prepared for them that love him.” -  1 Corinthians 2:9
