Northern Attitude- Noah Kahan

The 911 Hallelujah
(To the tune of “Hallelujah”)
I heard the call, the voice was weak,
A frightened soul who couldn’t speak.
I closed my eyes and whispered, “I am with ya.”

Crazy
“Crazy” by Gnarls Barkley resonates deeply with the high-stakes, emotionally charged environment of a 911 center. The song’s themes of questioning one’s sanity and feeling overwhelmed parallel the experiences of dispatchers who navigate life-or-death situations daily.
