- Released in 1986 on The Calls 4th album "Reconciled". The Call is one of the most underated bands of the 1980s if not in history.

I was in a local band in the Philly area called Hidden Faces. One of my best memories was opening for The Call at the 23 East Cabaret in Ardmore on November 2, 1990
WOWWWWW!!!!!!!!!😃🤩🙌‼
Awesome 👍
I grew up in Philly and remember the Hidden Faces!👋👋👋
That's awesome.
Wow, that is so cool. I saw them in LA. I think it was House of blues, or something like that they just totally kicked ass.
My sister and I saw the call is Southern California probably 20 years ago now. Small venue, great show and after the show, Michael came up to the bar and had a drink with us and he was so nice, friendly, genuine, and funny. I’m 67 now and will not and have not ever forgotten that evening
This track never sounds dated. Still as powerful as ever!
Such an underrated band. Passionate, intense, unique.
So true, loved this band!
I don't care what you believe or don't believe- this is a powerful song. RIP Michael Been
IYKYK 🙏
Amen!
One of the best rock voices ever
Everywhere I goooo-uh uh uh oh oh ohhhhhh
Gives me chills. So urgent, so desperate yet determined. So real.
One of the most underrated bands of all time. What a voice!
Agree!
RIP Michael Been. I had a chance to meet him back in the Call's heyday in the 80's. Such a great soul and a very nice human being. God Bless his sweet soul..
Amen Jesus 🔥 👑 🕊
Micheal Been was the greatest writer, singer, musician. I made friends with him and Dan Shields his manager that was with U2. Such great people! So sad Micheal has left us. Such a great talent and so inspired the religion that I love. His music is timeless and his message for ever. Hope you have met St. Peter Michael, God and all the Angels, Bless you my friend 🙏❤️
Saw them in unknown club 1987 downtown Houston, TX. 80 people there including bar staff. The CALL rocked the house for 2hrs. The place went nuts and was filled with charged vibes from this pulsing rock and roll, great band, sorely missed in today's music mush. Oh, did I say GREAT BAND.
W O W !
You don't have to believe in a God to believe in a power. The songs The Call created inspired a belief in something, a power, an energy. Each of us has to figure it out for ourselves. What a vocal powerhouse!
Fucking right my beautiful brother!
Love your assertion, is that the right word?love what u said,agree!!
yes you must believe in God
Yesir!!
Something this good is a creation from God
I remember seeing the video of The walls came down in the eighties. I was hooked. No air play in my home area. I knew all the local stations were in a vacuum. Thank God I found them a few years ago. At seventy three I still love their music.
This song's driving bass line and haunting melody was playing inside my head, for almost 29 years. However, I not heard it since being played on KROQ-FM and College Radio, in 1987. I had no idea(or forgot) who wrote this....until I got Shazam to ID them finally playing on my radio yesterday! The Call rightfully deserved REM's absurd successes, as they were true pioneers of Politically-charged, Alternative Rock. Way under-rated....RIP Michael Been.
+Zachary Abelardo Amen to that!! The Call over REM any day. REM Good Band The Call GREAT Band and uplifting.
Totally agree... there are just those songs that resonate in your head for years and years..... this band had nothing but great songs! Soooooo underrated.
Just heard this right now on 88.5 here in Los Angeles. I had never heard it. I'm glad I looked this up!
Ha, I just heard them today on the same station!
This song is INCREDIBLE!
Right down to the absolutely hauntingly beautiful end.
Michael Been...
A monumental loss.
As a bass player, I looked at his fretless playing nothing short of amazing.
And keeping it all together, just fantastic.
As a Radio DJ at the time, I put them in HEAVY rotation and got great reception from our listeners at the time, and NEVER understood why they didn't take off nationally. Great stuff that STILL stands the test of time. Thank you for posting the video, great memories.
I heard them on WXRT in Chicago in the 80s but maybe he did not want the fame if he was a Christian. "Not us but Christ"
@@pmdl23 Hmm. Yeah I wondered about that, weren't they like a Chiristian band or some one in the band was a Christian or something along those lines??? And the song is about God anyway???
Mind boggling that they didn't take off. It's not as if they had one good song or even album and were done. They were consistently good for several albums. The music fit with the times but was unique in it's own way. I always wonder if the religiosity was the issue but it's not like they pushed it in any way.
Because they did not sell their souls
Kinda like the moody blues they were as good as the Beatles and the stones but they had a righteous feel to them and how the devil hates that
It's amazing that this song never sounds old!!!!😘😘😘😍😍💕
Truly.....a great band......I haven't listened to them in years....THIS song brought back such great memories, and made me realize they WERE one of the most under-rated bands....ever.
Horribly underrated.
a truly underrated band indeed............they kill it
Agreed 💯
We had best music!
Yes, the same words and feelings
RIP Mike. I think of you... the eighties had just begun. Sweet time.
I will listen to this song over and over and over and over
+Gerald Ryan I listen to it everywhere I go. (Sorry, but I just couldn't help myself!)
Gerald Ryan d
My fav song from them!!!!
Hell yes.
RIP Micheal Been. Your music has always moved me.
I'm agnostic but these guys rocked my Jesus off. RIP Mr Been. I still believe.
World Coming Down 5778 Still waiting *stares at the beautiful moon*
keep listening, Davy
Trumpets and Horns. Revelation.
Have you gone to God directly, Mr. agnostic?
I did, alone...in a tent.
Sincerely,
No longer Ms.Agnostic
I was raised in the 60s and 70s in an evangelical church. I walked awa from that life and have been an atheist for 35 years. However, Michael Been is one of the most influential songwriters to me. His obvious faith and love of humanity is inspiring. I don’t have believe what he does to admire how he lived his life.
Was lucky enough to see them twice back in the mid-late 80's. Miss him terribly
That's the way you do it,
I miss those days
Just discovered this a few hours ago, here in Lima-Perú. We have this radio station, they play mostly rock and the thing is that I really dont listen to radio almost never but today granny turned it on and after a couple of songs this came up...I instantly LOVED IT. Such a shame to find out the lead singer is no longer with us....I'm an 80's child and never heard of them...Ever. I will check their music out for sure.
Listen to "Let the day begin " "The walls came down" " I still believe" and look for a version of "I still believe" by Robert Been, Michael's son. It is live at The Troubadour"... You're welcome
They openeed for the Psychelic Furs in 1986 , in Berkley. A huge fan since . Seen them live 3 times , and boast about it . Awesome .
loved all their songs when i was a kid in the '80's. and many years later, I discovered my neighbor is the keyboardist. cool dude too.
Wipe. 😮😮😎
Woow. 😮😮😎
wuuuut ?
Gail Butler I met the lead singer, Mike Bean??? Been too long ago. They opened for Simple Minds at the Fox in St. Louis. The Call blew them out of the water!
Met Mike Bean, they opened for Simple Minds, the Call blew them out of the water at the Fox in St. Louis.
This still kicks ass!
+Sean Harris great drummer.
Absolutely! One of the reasons I play drums.
+Sean Harris you're goddamn right it does.
Ha!! Classic thread... The Call rocks!
....that college dorm party back in '87...still echoing with this great song in the background.
Takes me back to high school, my track team listened to the entire album on the long bus rides to every meet
Really like this group. High energy, deep messages and truthful to the subjective experience. Lovely.
Man his voice is one of the best I've ever heard! Passionate and powerful! Saw them in the 80s! Amazing band! Rock On!
Woohoo! I'm 53 and went out 80's dancing this past Saturday...it was a blast.
Abbsolutely anthemic, pulsing, throbbing, mesmerizing, electrifying rock and roll. I own 4000 cds and 15,000 records, and The Call is in my top 20.
What a collection!
How dare you Michael... to be so young and leave us... you are missed.
Great SF Bay Area band, always a great show. RIP Michael!!!!!!
DAMN… this song ROCKS ❤️ All the parts blend together so perfectly!
some critics think this band was underrated, have to tell you ..nothing better than this. Michael we will miss you so much.. R. I . P.
Thank God for The Call.....
Whenever these guys came to southern Calif., I would follow them from San Diego to Santa Barbara and every show in-between, such an amazing spiritual ENERGY at each show. Michael would just frikkin'' ATTACK that fretless bass! Appropriate that they would open their tribute show to Michael @ the Troubadour in LA (with his son Robert) with this song. Yeah, I made sure to be at that one too.
That's a lovely story.
The reason why the call and so many other groups were underrated because back in the 80.s music was divided into categories unfortunately bands like the call were considered underground alternative but thanks to MTV groups like the call the alarm or Rem got crossover success
Back in the day when they were around, I only knew their one big hit. ( Though I did see them at my university around nineteen eighty six) But thanks to TH-cam, I'm discovering their backlog. Man the 80s were one of the greatest times to be alive. I'm so proud of my generation x.
Great music like this is dead today. So eighties, so quality. Rest in peace lead singer guy.
Absolutely one of the best of that era. They stood out; did some things differently. They had their own distinctive sound and produced a string of excellent songs that even today are better than much of what you hear on the radio.
RIP Michael Been....Thanks sooo much for all you did for the finest revolution of the 80's! The presence behind the mic will live on forever...
Saw them at Central Michigan University back in 1986. The energy from the stage was amazing!
I was lucky enough to see these guys live at the Bayou in DC in the mid-80s, up close. I liked the Call but after I saw them, I loved the Call. Michael Been (RIP), just an amazing voice. Better live than recorded! The only other band that I can personally attest to that distinction is Cheap Trick.
Midnight Oil was another amazing live band. Look at their capitol theatre performance, and oils on water
I saw them every time they came to Cleveland. One of my all time favorites
WOAH!
If that was the tour for this album, I was there at the Bayou with you. The place wasn’t packed at all-and the show killed. Just a great live band.
My first show EVER!!!! I was 11 in 89 at the Coachouse in Capistrano. I shook Micael Been's hand as he was walking off stage. One the best shows I've been to till this day.
Saw them at Auburn University. Man were they loud & great. Let the day begin. Just wow. Sorry to hear of Michael's death. It's been 35 years since I saw them. Wondered why they never hit it big.
i absolutely LOVE this combination of high tempo drums and a punchy baseline, idk if there is a name for it, but i just love the sound! a lot of songs in the 1980s used it
I believe it's called talent. That's what this is. Pure talent.
rebel yell for one
@@backslash68 Yes it also is commonly found in early 80s power pop and new wave songs
The Fall and Wire have this quality as well and one of the reasons I love them
underrated doesn't begin to describe them.
"Very" does, though.
They ARE way underated.
wayyyyyyyyyyyy underated---great ass band
Yes!!!!!!
Robert Winters nope I tend to disagree with you the call was never underrated the reason why people say that is because there music was considered Christian music which back in the 80,s was like rap music it was stereotyped still the call received a lot of attention on mtv and radio.
they were also lumped in the U2 wannabe category, with Simple Minds, the Alarm, etc...in other words, they got hosed.
I hear you, and none of those were they.
his voice was too good for this world :^(
IKR?
I still love this man's voice. Hot damn...
Saw them in the late 80s... one of the best bands i have ever seen live.
Wow!! My 3 year old grandson requested this song!
Hope for the future!
Soo cool that he requested this song???? Wonder why or how , must have an old soul.
So - no one is mentioning that the backing vocals are by Jim Kerr and Peter Gabriel?
I never knew that lol.
Interesting never knew that. I saw this band open for simple minds in Berkeley California 1985 they were awesome. Yup still have the record followed by the cd and then digitally into iTunes.
Seriously.... if you don't listen to this as loud as you can, you are missing the pure joy of this song and this band. Try it.. Fkn love The Call !!
One of the greatest band of all time... Michael Been (god bless his soul) and his music, was a big inspiration in my life. Big fat salute to The Call and Michael.
This sounds as fresh as it did when I was in my 20s.
Haven't heard this song in years. Going to wear it out today.
The Call were superb in concert as well. I love the fact that Michael and the band spread The Word without being dogmatic Evangelicals. Their music stood on its own merits and Michael was a kind, warm-hearted, talented human being.
In Belgium we only knew the song "I still believe". Bought a couple of CDs if them in the meanwhile, they are one of my favorite bands now. To bad they didn't get the credit they deserved.
Hey, you are giving it now. respect.
Bought "Reconciled" on vinyl in 1986, somehow forgot about it and just recently started playing and recording my vinyl after a 28 year hiatus.. Played "Reconciled" and now I'm on a buying binge of The Call. Did they have any weak tracks? Haven't found one yet..
RIP Michael Been.
Epic band!!!!
John Steele, what did he pass away fr?
Cynthia Sanchez heart attack back stage before his son's band's concert in Europe
Bill Compeau, OMG that's so tragic!! May he rest in peace & Blessings to his family & friends. †
"I Still Believe"was a good one.
A great band from the 80s with very little airplay but beats the sh*t out of every band out today.
What a beautiful song. The beat and lyrics make me very emotional.
One of the best shows I was able to experience back in the day. Celebrity Theater in Phoenix, AZ. I don't remember what year but it was an incredible performance.
Came back again for my 80s fix! I may be getting older, but this jam will never age...
One of the best concerts I've ever been to was when The Call came to a little coffee shop in my town, probably ten years ago. Small set, nothing flashy, but primo musicianship!
This is such a great song that never gets old. I seen these guys in San Diego back in 80's. I was a hard rocker playing guitar in a band like Metallica and I still loved this band.
Was 16 when this came out. Classic still today!
forgot about this song and band... today I'm in an airport eating in a cafe and it's playing in the overhead speakers! So glad to become reacquainted! Awesome song!
Always a great bass line, on EVERY cut!
I must say I have this on Vinyl and it Rocks !! SANTA CRUZ Bound.. Miss those hot summer days... laying in the sun watching the Waves flow and recede.
I listened to Reconciled about a million x after Robby my husband passed in 99. Deeply moving song. Beautifully performed. THX for posting this.
June 1986.
This track would just boom out of the speakers and fill my dance floor.
Courtesy of the great production of Been and Eaton and Tom Skinner's mastering.
Big hit for me.
saw them in a very small club in providence, ri in 1984. amazing show!
Hey Jobuneedsarefill01 - agree - The Call is an amazing band. Not nearly as high on the 80s radar as they deserve. The nice thing about youtube is that it offers great bands from back in the day exposure to new generations of music fans. Thanks for posting!
It is true that this song should have been a smash hit pouring out of every car speaker all across America. The fact that it wasn't just demonstrates how what is a hit and what is not many times has very little to do with the quality of the music, but probably more in a label's promotion of the music.
just found out Michael passed. I am truly gutted he was the class singer .
saw the call in 83 in Lubbock modern Romans tour and his voice had me hooked ever since. Tore the old place down....... RIP Michael
Love Love Love. I am 57 and the memories...
Last time i saw Michael Been, he was next to me at Slim's in SF, CA. We both were watching the Verve's 1st gig in SF in the early 90s.
I have this album on vinyl. Cool!
features Jim Kerr of Simple Minds and Peter Gabriel on backing vocals
one of the best songs of 1986
I was lucky enough to see these guys live at the Catalyst dwntwn Santa Cruz way back in 1986-87 Hometown Favorites. R.I.P Michael, thank you for the Great Music and part of the soundtrack of my life. Severely underrated band of the Greatest Decade in my simple life 1980's. Class of '85 Amador High. P-Twn.
My Mother used to play this LP a lot when I was a kid. One of the many bands I wish I could've seen in concert.
RIP the Amazing Michael Been
Still one my favourite songs. Glad to see his son carrying on his legacy
Loved this song in 1986.
I remember back in the day when we had a radio.. I would be painting and this song would come on.. loved it. Simple times
i have been waiting 2 hear this band agian for 30 yrs.!!!!!!!!!! they rock for Christians/most don't know it/but they were 1 of the 1st. it was my 3rd shift motavation 2 get the crew & production out back then!!!!!!!!!! for ALL AGES!!!
Amazing song! Love how the bridge goes into a major modality. Just genius!
I've always loved this track..haunting..loved it for years
Found it, heard this on satellite radio today at work, hadn't heard it in years-great song.
So True! They remain as fresh as the day they came onto the scene! Love these guys! RIP MB!
Great song - simple , passionate and driving
I always thought it was very cool that he sang backup vocals with Jim Kerr on Peter Gabriel's So album.
Wow, is it only me or does this song encompass some bad ass rock, a little rockabilly, and some kick ass alternative music? These guys are tuned into some kind of rock ley line which fires up the mind and echoes through the soul. Truly sad Mr. Been is no longer with us. I do hope his son steps up and proves that there is life after death. Whatever year it came out, these boys are truly classic.
I just never tire of this song....have been fortunate to listen for decades!!!!
The Call's music was so important to me back then. It was so vital, so powerful. It helped me through some very dark times.
I had the exact same experience.
