Persian Risk - Calling For You

Track 1 from the 1979 Calling For You 7" single.

[@SlowfingerJC]

8 million years ago when album covers were black and white, I roadied for Persion Risk when they were playing around the Caerphilly area. At the time Jon Deverill was the singer who moved on to sing for the Tygers Of Pan Tang and Phil was one of the guitar players. I met them later at the Battle Of The Bands competition in the Top Rank in Cardiff. My band Gathering Dust won our heat ahead of Persion Risk as we were playing Ska Reggae music and the Persion Risk style of rock was dying out. Anyway, Gathering Dust is now gathering dust and Persian Risk is Rocking.

To all who grew up in England during the heyday of NWOBHM, I envy you guys!! Man, those must have been amazing times, kickass music everywhere!! Thank God for KZbin, I wouldn't get to hear songs like this otherwise in Wisconsin!! GO PACK!!

Playing the night to the people Music is sounding so bright. Singing the songs for to please, And making the music so tight. Left the place where I played, On my way back home. Feeling tired and worn now, Driving into the dawn. Not far away from home, where we lost control, With impact we hit, Leaving us so cold. But no one thought of the night, An unpleasant fright. We needed help, Calling for you! Drinking to us and good times. Not knowing what’s to come. You can still see the full moon rising. So now we have to move on. Messin round and joking, Caused the accident, Crying out there in pain, Calling for some help. Not far away from home, where we lost control, With impact we hit, Leaving us so cold. But no one thought of the night, An unpleasant fright. We needed help, Calling for you!

This has got to be the only hard rock/heavy metal song I can think of that is a warning specifically against drunk driving.

[@gabbycosas]

Amazing song! And band! Wonderful days full of power, creativity and soul!

[@georgebest9871]

I feel a great frustration to discover unknown music gems which really rocks!

[@davidsoundremixer.7861]

Is so great this track, the liryc is Good really and solo is awesome, all track is a master piece.

[@andreb145]

Sounds like Thin Lizzy. A great tune!

[@DetVen]

Goddamn it! I love hard rock and metal from the late 70s. I love it from any time and place, but late 70s hard rock and metal has particular sentimental value to me.

[@alexandreteixeirabenjamin6539]

Great song! Reminds me Scorpions and Tygers Of Pan Tang!

[@metalmaniacsubtitulado5170]

Old School metal! Real metal!

[@adamwarlock5286]

im so glad i lived those times as well if you tell kids who are interested in the music now that you stayed in or got back from the pub early to listen to a radio show they look at you as if you were deranged but i did i especially loved tommys yearly top ten thing were you could write in to vote!

[@WALTERCALAVERA]

One of the best songs into the global classic heavy metal I'm not afraid To die in the day But at night the delight Seems a lifetime away Love will take you like a magnet Just when you feel secure I'm so afraid Please don't let me fall I was safe inside my sadness No passion to endure Now I find myself Hopeless and forlorn And I'm so afraid that love will take its toll But then I see your face Or was it just a dream You said open your eyes What do you see That you're a lonely lonely man Without a heart You said open your eyes What do you see Come on open your eyes What do you see Like a bird on the wing Or a song that you sing You can find yourself flying oh so free You can move without a trace Get about most anyplace Come on open your eyes What do you see Come on open your eyes What do you see But then I see your face Or was it just a dream? You said open your eyes What do you see That you're a lonely lonely man Without a heart You said open your eyes What do you see Come on open your eyes What do you see Come on open your eyes What do you see Open your eyes What do you see?

Back in those days, metal bands wrote - wait for it - SONGS!! And even more shocking, the singers actually - wait for it - SANG!! No breakdowns, no cookie monster shouting...

[@Ryan_Thompson_Guitarist]

Lots of metal bands still write actual songs and sing. Check out: Haunt Seven Sisters Skyryder Eternal Champion Traveler Gatekeeper Smoulder Hexen Throne of Iron Gygax Riot City Warrior Path Visigoth Blazon Stone Dark Forest ^ All bands that formed in the last 10 years, and have had albums in the last 5 years

A lot of time has passed since the heyday of the NWOBHM ended but the magic and powersurges still rage rampant in all of the works created in that truly magic time in music history and left behind. Absolute British Power and Majesty has always been reflected in it's heavy metal.

[@blackbrooke]

Saw them a dozen times, I jammed with Phil Campbell and an epic local guitarist called "Mavis" Davies. As much as Phil has "lived the life " with Motorhead i thought he had the talent to be right up there.

[@elmoslack9582]

I was in the prior version of PR with Mavis, Nick Carl & Raz. Band called Berlin. I also played with Phil in 'Grand Slam' and 'Contrast'. Nick is my cousin. I'm in touch with Mavis now. Just getting back into guitar

[@michaelstephen819]

Yes, agree with earlier comment this was released in 1981 - remember Tommy Vance (RIP) playing it then - I have an old C60 cassette somewhere...

[@Thirdfish]

Nice one. I used to tape the Friday Rock show, good times lol.

[@pennytraitor]

I remember first hearing this on Tommy Vance's Friday night rock show back in early eighties. I still have the original sessions on tape. Tommy said he played it because its good and because Carl Sentence bothered to send him a copy!

[@billyfoster3223]

Cool!☺

[@poundtumbles]

@BigB7776 It was an amazing time mate. A big thanks to Tommy 'the voice' Vance for championing so many bands at the time AND to be fair, Kerrang! when it wasn't a 'metal' magazine for 6 year old smurfs. I wouldn't still own the white label of Diamond Head's first album if it wasn't for Kerrang!'s who to look out for section. God we looked scruffy buggers back then. Great, GREAT times. NWOBHM forever!

[@elmoslack9582]

Ha ha. Nuclear war. Myth & Legend promo No. The reality is Jon Deverill the original vocalist named it after a racehorse of the day!.
