Classic Band and Video

[@clrlmiller]

A terrific band that never got the press or success they were due.

[@allanmoore4794]

I just heard this song for the first time on SXM channel 33 a couple days ago. I have probably listened to it 30 times so far. Fantastic!

[@catherinebarber6374]

Me too. I downloaded and listened at least 50 times so far. Soo emotional! LzOVE ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@jordanbrettabbott]

You've never seen The Lost Boys? That speaks volumes about who you are, as a person.

[@alexarihani2902]

Also came here from Sirius 33! Just heard it this week. I’ve listened to the station for years and never heard this song before. It’s great

[@raidrfrk]

Look up the band they are great

[@gregc8627]

A masterpiece, possibly the most powerful song of determination ever written, sung by its author.

Don't care who you are or where you are in life this song has an incredible and strong message.

[@jarrodcunningham1732]

A very talented vocalist, and band to boot. This song is truly “timeless”!

[@angelamaier-yq6ql]

This is my favourite song from the Call, Michael Been is so amazing❤

[@MorfBeeX]

"The Call" music is timeless & only gets better with age! One of the greatest eVeR! Few singers if any, have that kind of emotion in the vocals! Michael could do more with a few seconds of singing, than many could do in an entire career & the music still sounds phenomenal!

[@cheryllynmc]

I do still believe. This song helps.

[@deepoe6636]

I still believe. RIP Michael. Thanks for the great memories and the music that goes with them.

I just passed the cpa exam. It took everything I had. I’ve been studying alone for so long and didn’t think I could do. In a cave for 40 days. Only a spark to light my way. I want to give out. Give in… I’ll climb this hill on my knees if I have to. I still believe.

[@Potatojoe2000]

Never give up. Life will beat you up sometimes. It is worth it.

TRULY AMAZING. ❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@BobACNJ]

I still believe this to be a great song.

[@texstar77]

So a tasteful drummer!! Played exactly what was needed!

[@user-cy1ui1tf3l]

is anyone else feeling the connection / inspiration to Bear's Den Red Earth and Pouring Rain here? I cherish this bizare and delicious late eighties undercurrent of sincere rock that is so often overlooked amidst all the hair, makeup and mid american mall pop of the eighties (which I can sometimes adore). !0,000 Maniacs, Waterboys, REM, U2, Talk Talk, The Call, Sundays, So Much yet to be discovered in that weird tweed clad wide brimmed hat wearing underground which led up to the Alternative rock of the 90's.

[@GregoryStephenSchumacher]

Was fortunate to have seen them live a few times. Michael Been was a phenomenal songwriter. The Call was awesome. This song gets better through the years. Powerful.

[@lustforkicks7392]

That's incredible that you got to see them live more than once! I agree this song is powerful. It conveys a positive message about never losing faith or giving up. I was seven years old in 1986 when Reconciled was released and two of my older brothers had that album on cassette tapes. This song specifically was my favorite of all that was on the album. Thanks for sharing your message Greg! ~Dutch

[@Mzedith]

I saw them when they opened for Simple Minds. amazing

[@MorfBeeX]

Amazing band, I love my "The Call" Vinyl Collection! One of the best ever! Shared vinyl with my 30 year daughter & now she's has "The Call" records too! Michael had more eMoTiOn in his amazing voice than 99.9% of any human ever to live! The entire band was great & these songs have aged perfectly! By the way I'm Patrick W. Shumaker my name is often mistaken for the last name like yours! Great similar last names think alike! Keep rockin'!

[@boddington7]

Many great memories seeing the Call perform in Santa Cruz on many occasion in Santa Cruz! RIP Michael Bean one of the great ones!

[@TrishBell1]

It's so Santa Cruz. Oh those were the days.

[@Thefubeca12]

As a local to the hills there is one of my great regrets I missed seeing them, was always a big fan of their music.

[@johncraft6603]

How did I not hear them back then and Am thrilled to discover this masterpiece of music now. A version of this follows ‘Let The Day Begin’ on my playlist.

[@StrategyInformer-sjgold]

My recently divorced mother, my brother and I had just moved to a small califormia beach front town Santa Carla. I knew nobody, that night that I first heard this song on the beach walk carnival that had come into this strange town that weekend.

[@Thefubeca12]

😂😂bruh was that when they still had that buff oiled up saxophone player in the band? 😅😅

[@Xantylon74]

All you need now is a oiled Sax Man! 😁

[@JasonBaker1978]

THAT IS A MASTERPIECE

[@sosidecop64]

Very underrated band and song. I still believe.

[@iGetNoRespect21]

The chorus is pretty epic. Not sure why I don't hear this song more often.

[@nolongerthere]

I got to see them live a couple of times in Savannah back in the day, and they were amazing. I never understood why they didn't just blow up internationally

[@chipkornrumpf6318]

I had this album in highschool... grear album with their song "Everywhere I Go" as well as this timeless soulful classic...

[@timthenurse]

I was introduced to this song in 1987 on Russ Taff's self-titled album. Here I am in 2021 just now figuring out that it was a cover of this band. Highly recommend Russ Taff's version, too. Still know all the words.

[@mrdg1523]

I'm here in 2022 after finding out it was not Tim C's song in The Lost Boys but this bands cover...still he does not have a sax lol.

[@MotherAlgorithm]

Awesome

[@paulgriffiths9923]

I keep coming back to this track, I like the Tim Capello version but The Call beats it hands down...theres something special about this song that takes you somewhere else.

[@ns3352]

Tim Cappello's version beats this any day!

[@pessimystica]

Both are EXCELLENT versions. I even got to see Tim Capello play live last year. But yah, the original is special.

[@jasonreynolds7753]

This is a great song.. However if Tim Cappello played the sax in the original recording it would have certainly been a bigger hit!

[@paulgriffiths9923]

@@jasonreynolds7753 yeah maybe, it would have definitely been interesting to see Tim Capello on stage with his top off next to Michael Been 😂

To one of the commenters here / they play this on 88.5 in LA. I'LL be taking a shower and all of a sudden this tune comes on and I forget I'm in the shirt zeroes and back in the 80s

WOW this was phenominal... found it after watching an interview from 2021 with Tim Capello, and he gave The Call the credit for the song

[@julietavasquez1627]

🔥💯

[@michaelkirk9870]

I believe ... this was recorded during a date The Call played in 1984 at The Ritz - Webster Hall, 119 E 11th Street in NYC. At the time The Ritz, run by Jerry Brandt was a Premier Venue for music in NYC. You could catch many big acts coming through NYC playing there. I missed this show, but was fortunate to see several others at The Ritz during my time living at St. Marks Place in the Old East Village.

[@RockNRollGecko]

My favorite song going on 35 years now never get tired of this one

[@matthews852]

I always liked alternative 80s stuff and grouped this in with that since I was little. I just realized it has a message. I don’t care, it’s an incredibly powerful song. Everywhere I go ( I think of you ) is an even better song than this one.

Is this band considered something akin to "Christian Rock". I haven't seen it explicitly mentioned, but had always sensed it from the song titles, lyrics, album names (i.e. Modern Romans). Someone who knows more than me pls advise.
