Bob Geldof - This is The World Calling

[@WarpedRecord]

This song stood out from the very crowded pack of great songs I would hear on MTV, yet somehow it has been forgotten by far too many people.

[@sallymilgate4858]

Probably my Favorite. Met him in his home area, Faversham, Kent. I just smiled and brought something small to remember the moment. Just smiled, Thanks Bob

[@francisa.forelli8503]

Haunting & so moving...so simple & powerful...love his voice & background singers...So glad I found it ...I never heard it before...I can't believe it was 11Years ago...

[@amyroberts9761]

Hands down, one of the best songs ever, sung by one of the most coolest, gorgeous singers ever!!! This one will always hold a special place in my heart.

[@davidcarpenter8247]

Wasn't very nice to his wife at all.

[@carollancaster2389]

I really like this song very much. I’m 68 & just now only learning about this band & this very relevant song…It definitely seems timeless!

[@seaniebouy]

Annie Lennox, Maria McKee,&Allison Moyet the best back up singer combo ever.

[@vincekloss5802]

Great Song, Beautifully Done. Thank You Bob Geldof.

[@karinjaffie-KIT-KITTY-TAPATA]

always gives me chills, love this song.

[@pinz2022]

Portrait of a young man with a beautiful wife, a perfect little daughter and a hero's mantle. On top of the world. I had read his 1986 autobiography. My God, if he only knew what was in store for him...

[@Tre404]

Same here!

[@sallymilgate4858]

Brilliant, under rated.....

[@paradoxward2533]

Nice to see this video again. It's been a long time. I bought the cassette long ago out of curiosity after I saw Geldof featured in 'The Wall' movie. I always liked this song.

[@DHTC888]

There was also the film "Nineteen Eighty Four", the Eurythmics did some atmospheric background stuff for that, I always put that movie in with what you mentioned as well. Also - this version is different than the one I saw here in America back then, the one I saw didn't have the pregnant woman in it and the background singers kept going and sung those choruses over and over. Very beautiful.

[@mariaprsova9144]

I love this song ❣️Hello Bob

[@brucedanton3669]

I remember this tune at the time-and very nice it is too! Thank you!

[@ilonatorraca685]

I love this song!! Thank you 🎉❤😊

[@earlpruett4430]

Haunting and beautiful...

[@mikerundberg8301]

This is America calling , this is one of my favorite songs of all time

[@rockweedgirl]

Sorry to be a putz, but, are you saying that America is calling to say what an awesome song this is? Because if that's what you're saying, sorry I'm so obtuse but, wow, I so agree with you!

[@mikerundberg8301]

@@rockweedgirl i said that because , i am from America hometown of Cheap Trick if you know who they are

[@rockweedgirl]

@@mikerundberg8301 Oh yeah, I loved Cheap Trick, though I always used to confuse them with The Knack for some reason back then. And yeah, I'm quite a putz. That's why I always ask to figure out what I'm apparently missing out on. Thanks!

[@georgemathie8123]

Bob is one of the most truly honest artists who truly believed in changing the world for a very better place and this man has such an extraordinary love for life Bob I love you you are an amazing voice of hope God bless you 💜

[@amyreaves7264]

Excellent song listing in 2020 peace

[@Pete_R63]

There are so many times I have been out in the wilderness and thought of the line, "There's so much beauty, I wish that I believed enough to pray."

[@nomadrat]

Breaks my heart these days.

[@ShazGreenock]

Sadly underestimated..........but then again I'm glad he's not mainstream.

[@fenwayify]

I agree. I've always loved this track and album. It's among my all-time favorites. I also appreciate Geldof's charitable efforts, even with the criticism of it perhaps being naive. At least he cares. I also do kind of like the fact that's he's not mainstream. perhaps selfishly I sometimes like to savor and keep these gems to select company-people who can actually recognize depth.

[@johnriebel1576]

As a very young Radio Music Director in America in the 80s, at a station that prided itself on breaking new music, (and after the popularity of "Feed the World" and Live Aid), we did kind of a fun on-air feature called "Feed Bob", where we played his music - because of the timing - most of this album - and told our listeners that "Bob Feeds the World so it's time to Feed Bob". Love this song, and Bob Geldof. Thank you for the people you have helped over the years.

[@mariaprsova9144]

World is still calling😢❤

[@sallymilgate4858]

Amazing

[@LuisaFernanda_DevisVizcaino]

Que gran, gran compositor y luchador social. Siempre en mi corazón...

[@oO0catty0Oo]

God I love this song.

[@globalpilot76]

80's...late night. Driving. cfny 102.1 The Spirit of Radio playing.. Magic

[@vincekloss5802]

We need this now, more than ever ... Thank you Bob Geldof for what you're trying to do for hamanity!

[@wiggion]

oMG, lost track of this song. saw Geldof do this live at Rock Am Ring outdoor music fest in W. Ger, in 1987, when I was 31 and in army. I had a windbreaker that had a british flag on it and I ran into some Brit soldiers... they kinda adopted me for the night. i'm sure we partook of soda pop [i was a 5'2" USA motor pool clerk, so i must have been comic relief for them]...

[@uranium591]

Wow . . . great song ! Thanks Bob

[@Aqua8519]

Best looking guy. Ever.

[@marshaennis1884]

I love you bob!!! Wish you had more videos to post. Pray many blessing for you and family.

[@MazePage]

Oh man! Boomtown Rats! What memories... and good ones they are. ˆ·ˆ Beautiful!

[@waynedunn1108]

Absolutely brilliant song by bob one of his best . Don't know why it wasn't a hit . Well not in Australia any way . Great song . Sydney aus. 29/5/2023

[@seamushogan1080]

Was a minor hit in Ireland 🇮🇪 of course

[@waynedunn1108]

Cheers from Australia 🦘 14/8/2024 excellent song 😊

[@sallydommett3451]

I have always loved Bob but would love to have a conversation with him now

[@ginnylvsdogs]

Bob Geldof is a huge humanitarian hero to me!~ xo

[@tickedoffnow]

Same here

[@seamushogan1080]

Why we never hear this gem on any bloody radio station

[@2009caper]

great tune!

[@bradleylowden558]

Very good work from Bob.

[@hughiebrophyHind]

Nice performance

[@LarzGustafsson]

"I wish that I believed enough to pray"

[@jdsundstrom]

One of the greatest lines ever!

[@stansnotmyname]

I will never understand how this song wasn't a massive hit. Bob Geldof had a high-profile because of Live Aid, and this song seemed to have all of the elements to be a huge breakthrough for him. And then... It wasn't. I can't figure out why. The song still holds up well today.

[@donnakny9970]

I just discovered it. It’s timeless. He is a real talent and there’s almost no mention of his music on the internet, completely overshadowed by the Live Aid and other charity stuff. It’s a shame because he’s a wonderful songwriter from what little I’ve heard so far.

[@sallymilgate4858]

It is Tuesday 2024. Life is A Maze ing

[@MrJuggaloFTFO]

Don't make classics like this anymore R.I.P. Too good old music it will never die its playing all the time in my head

[@hotejaao]

bob como sempre maravilhoso, adoro você !

[@Emachine789]

Still Fantastic in 2024-25

[@unknownmeme9020]

This song sounds so happy

[@ScootyB525]

I wish you had a video for "Deep in the Heart of Nowhere".

[@cindyrook1189]

Happy Birthday Bob Geldoff! I Peaches is looking down at her dad and so proud!

[@Braysh7]

It always amazes me that people (trolls) will search for a particular song by a particular artist simply to post nasty and derisory comments - what is wrong with these people? Clearly, they have too much time on their hands, too much jealousy in their minds, and no discernible talent of their own. Disgusting. Oh, and I absolutely love Bob Geldof - hugely talented, massively under-rated musical talent.

[@bobgeldof]

She wont be making any more comments, cheers Irene

[@samuelmiller5918]

bobgeldof Bob. Head up. This is the world calling

[@LarzGustafsson]

Great!

[@hdjack1340]

Bob Geldof!

[@chrisnelson68]

Anybody recognize annie lennox and alison moyet singing back up?

[@davedzone]

I do NOT see Annie. Where?

[@vpaulbartilucci8544]

Yep. And the third female backup singer is Maria McKee of Lone Justice.

[@miteyd]

Annie Lennox, Alison Moyet, and I think Aimee Mann on backing vocals.

[@Muzikgirl67]

Hi there! I think I heard that instead of Aimee Mann, the other background vocalist is Maria McKee (from Lone Justice), that joins Annie and Alison... Hope that helps a little, and let the good music play on! Take care! Ms. Elizabeth 📻🎶🎧📻🎶🎧

[@WestVirginia002]

I own the 45 rpm.

[@donaldj.chiechi1596]

Oh, snap! Is that or is that not a Z Cavaricci suit?

[@mikecausey5287]

One of modern musics saints: watch how he allows similar relevant/even greater musician/personalities to sing and perform before he makes a late appearance in "Do They Know it's Christmas - 1984". Geldof arranges for Sting, Boy George and other equally talented and thoughtful people to show their talents and humanity before including himself in the performance... it was about the group effort and concern, not in any way about Bob Geldof, B.G. is a fine example of what makes a good person... and he happens to be talented musically himself. If Mother Teresa can become a saint... Bob's due too. And GB BTR.

[@1raglen]

im a guy..but u r right..he be a awesome looking guy

[@biggsweaty]

Oh, Dave.....

[@timothypierce5303]

I have to wonder if hurtling through space is going to be any good for that baby.

[@shamrockgerry]

go on the paddie`s...

[@JerrymichaelGreen-qy6tj]

All apologies, my bad. Im seriously ill. An invalid.

[@parasailtimes6722]

I feel like he sold out his youthful cynicism but a good song regardless

[@davedzone]

It's called GROWING to adulthood. Life changed him. He sold nothing. If you grow up, things change, perspective changes.

[@laurelharris8519]

He can't sing. I'm going to watch dreamy Mike instead.

[@Muzikgirl67]

Mike who??
