    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.

    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

      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.

      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.

    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.

    Straight has curve
    Smiles, eyes, powers to confound me
    I lose my nerve
    Your voice, it echoes all around me
    I think of you
    (Everywhere I go)
    I think of you
    (Everywhere I go)
    I look for you everywhere
    (Everywhere I go)
    I must have you
    (Everywhere I, everywhere I, everywhere I go)
    Ease me down
    Keep that promise that you made to me
    Take my hand
    My mind reels, all my senses rise
    I think of you
    (Everywhere I go)
    Lord, I think of you
    (Everywhere I go)
    I look for you
    (Everywhere I go)
    I need you
    (Everywhere I go)
    Lord, I need you everywhere I go
    (Everywhere I go)
    I look for you everywhere
    (Everywhere I go)
    I need you
    (Everywhere I go)
    I must have you
    (Everywhere I, everywhere I, everywhere I)
    (Everywhere I)
    Everywhere I go, go

    Still a great band! Saw them in concert back in early 80’s. Michael Been was awesome in person. His son did a great tribute to his father after he passed away.

  • @sethschiller832

    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

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.

      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.
