This song is a perfect example of just how good music was in the early to mid 1980's....incredible time to be young and have a killer sound system in your car
,,I still believe,, , that i can buy this album in normal way, because ,, every way i go,, it`s vinyl (which i don`t possess) or i have to look on net...
I had a Technics AM/FM CD player that had a 5-band built-in equalizer in my '70 F-150. Three way speakers in the doors and two ways on the dash. I'd park and leave the doors open at the Frisbee Golf Course and we had music blasting over most of the 18 holes!!!
This song got me through one of the worst years of my life. I was 14, living in a dysfunctional family. My sister was in a mental hospital, after trying to kill herself. My mom was an alcoholic bitch, my dad was an abusive jerk, my brother was an aggressive bully. I was so miserable, I could barely dress myself to go to school. I hated school, too. But whenever I was sitting in my room at night, crying in my closet, this song would come on the radio. It literally kept me alive through the darkest days. Thank you 🙏
This is my go to song anytime I need a reminder that it's not over. Life is worth living. "For people like us, in places like this...we need all the hope that we can get. I still believe."
Saw them open for Simple Minds in San Antonio back in 86. As good as any band I ever saw. Simple Minds were real gracious to them. The Call seemed to have full light and sound. Simple Minds weren't afraid to be showed up. It was a good night.
How a band with a lead singer as good as Michael Been with songs so powerful they stand up even today -- never broke through in a major way is beyond me. This stands up to the best 60's/70's artists. Yes, right up there with The Beatles, Stones, Who, Kinks, Pink Floyd, The Doors & any other. The Call were that good. Because they weren't regarded as such doesn't make it so. These were great musicians, with wonderful albums & those who know them give them a great respectful legacy.
Sometimes it just doesn't happen. The music business isn't fair and there are a million and one trapdoors you can fall through at any moment. Talent and dedication don't always pay off, and more often than not, people can just buy or fuck their way into stardom whilst true artist with integrity struggle to get by. That's the cold, hard truth.
Only two words describe The Call's music & Michael Been's vocals -- consistently intense. There wasn't an ounce of fat on the body of their work. They showed the power of rock mixed brilliantly with politics, hope, redemption, religion, and anger. They deserved a much wider following.
One of the most PERFECT SONGS EVER Created...The Melody is intricated, versatile, changing and ultra sophisticated. It features one of the most complex and creative synthesizers solos EVER..The Lyrics are plain PERFECT and totally INSPIRATIONNAL...M A S T E R P I E C E
+Jerome Lange i have to agree, my good man. i bought their greatest hits cd and this song was only available as a live version. worried the non studio version would suffer, i was soon reassured that this band delivers. the live version starts off with such soul and vocal perfection that you can FEEL it as well as hear it.
+Jerome Lange Agree 100%. I share great music videos with a buddy of mine, and he likes almost everything I send him- but he went CRAZY over this song more than all the others
I been in a cave For forty days Only a spark To light my way I wanna give out I wanna give in This is our crime This is our sin But I still believe I still believe Through the pain And through the grief Through the lives Through the storms Through the cries And through the wars Oh, I still believe Flat on my back Out at sea Hopin' these waves Don't cover me I'm turned and tossed Upon the waves When the darkness comes I feel the grave But I still believe I still believe Through the cold And through the heat Through the rain And through the tears Through the crowds And through the cheers Oh, I still believe I'll march this road I'll climb this hill Upon on my knees If I have to I'll take my place Up on this stage I'll wait 'til the end of time For you like everybody else I'm out on my own Walkin' the streets Look at the faces That I meet I feel like I Like I want to go home What do I feel What do I know But I still believe I still believe Through the shame And through the grief Through the heartache Through the tears Through the waiting Through the years For people like us In places like this We need all the hope That we can get Oh, I still believe
I am a soldier. Simply put this song embodies everything me and mine endured and pushed through. Amazing song and 20 years later hits home for me ten times harder. What a loss to lose Been.
Man i am so stoked, I just found this album in a record store for $2.95! I snatched it up and I played it several times on each side, no scratches. Score of the day!! Always loved these guys..
I haven't heard this song in years. Heard it in the grocery store of all places. Had to look it up. 1986, wow. Now I can't get enough of it. I still believe.
@@ivanlowjones 'meh' the guy if you want, but he is talented. you don't get to tour with Tina Turner over 10 years if you're a schlub, let alone record with her and others.
+Stephan Sandiares '86 would have been the year of "Afterburner" which was probably ZZ Top's most pop album. That makes it a little less of a stretch...but it is still a little odd. I saw ZZ Top with Jackyl in 1995...which seemed a little off to me too...but it worked.
In mho one of the most underrated bands of the the 80's. This song should probably be listened to right after listening to "Let The Day Begin". Great way to get your day started. Peace and Blessings to all.
Which is so strange because after listening to “TheWalls Came down” and Let the Day Begin” begin I figured I should finally see what else these guys had to offer.. Downloading Instill believe now..
"Through the shame and through the grief Through the heartache, through the tears Through the waiting, through the years For people like us in places like this We need all the hope that we can get." Best verse ever....
My first date with my first GF was going to see The Call on a boat on the Monterey Bay. Great gig and I say gig because there were only like 50 people on the boat. Memory of a lifetime
This hot recording rocks to the level of tears in my eyes as I harmonize along with that singer and tells me..."come on , get out your '59 Telecaster and jam out some tunes & tease myself with the thought of Echo on my solo leads !
RIP Michael, was so fortunate to see these guys up close and personal at Mississippi Nights back in the day. We all laid hands on each other. Awesomeness.
I've always loved The Call and this version of the song...The Protoman version is a great tribute...this song meant so much to me...and then I volunteered in Joplin, Missouri after that awful tornado...and it took on such greater meaning...I realize it's my own interpretation, but, it truly means so much for Joplin...and how they persevered through tremendous grief and tragedy...how they came back...through the storms, through the cries, and through the wars...I still believe.
@@sageantone7291 No one would have even heard of this song with Capello's version. Terrible career decision by the band to pass on the Lost Boys soundtrack.
I just found out a few weeks ago that Tim Capella wasn’t the original artist for this song but today is the first time I ever heard the original - I absolutely love it!!! I had no idea The Call sang this first; they were awesome!!!
This has been and always be my VICTORY SONG FOR MYSELF AND KID'S AND HOW WE WILL CONQUER WHATEVER WE FACE... CHALLENGES AND STRUGGLES BUT WE STILL HAVE TO BELIEVE THAT WE MADE IT AND GOT WHERE WE NEEDED TO BE AT AND HAVE PEACE ONCE MY KIDS FATHER LET US LIVE OUR LIVES AND BE TOXIC FREE.... AND WHEN I AM WORKING HARD TO GET US A NEW HOME, I HAVE PAIN CRY SO MANY TEARS EVEN THE DEADLY CRY OF ALL CRIES WHICH IS IN SILENCE I STILL BELIEVE AND HOPE THAT WITH EVERY LAST BREATH I BREATHE MY KIDS AND I WILL BE FINE.... THEN I KNOW I CAN BE AT PEACE ONCE I DEMISE CAUSE THEY WON'T HAVE TO FEAR OF THEM NOT HAVING A HOME AND BEING HOMELESS IN WHICH AT ONE POINT OF MY LIFE I WAS. NO ONE DESERVES TO BE HOMELESS EVEN NOW IN WHAT THIS WORLD IS FACING SO THIS SONG IS VERY RELAVANT TO ME DURING THIS TIME OF NEED. IF ONLY IF ONLY MORE PEOPLE GAVE A DAMN WE MIGHT ALWAYS BE STRUGGLING BECAUSE WE ALL SHOULD BE TOGETHER BOUNDED AS 1...... I HOPE AND PRAY FOR EVERYONE STAYS SAFE AND HEALTHY, HAS FOOD CLOTHING AND SHELTER.... AND IF U CAN PLZ SPREAD THE LUV TO THOSE U SEE WHETHER ITS FOOD, CLOTHING OR EVEN SOMETHING SIMPLE AS SUPPLYING THEM WITH COLD WATER AND A SACK LUNCH LIKE THE WAY I DO AND TEACH MY KIDS... THERE'S A DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A WANT AND A NEED, WE HAVE MORE THEN WHAT OTHER PEOPLE HAVE.... WE REALLY SHOULD BE PRACTICING LUV THY NEIGHBOR AS WE WOULD FOR OURSELVES AS WE DON'T KNOW THERE STRUGGLES OR STORY...EVEN SHARING THIS VIDEO WITH SOMEONE U KNOW NEEDS ENCOURAGING WORDS IT MAY MAKE THEM SMILE AND U MAY HELP THEM ESPECIALLY IF IR OVERWHELMED WITH THINGS... TAKE CARE AND GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR FAMILY 🙏 PLZ DON'T TAKE THIS COMMENT WRONG OR FEEL THAT I'M LOOKING FOR SYMPATHY... I JUST WANT TO HELP OTHERS TO SPREAD THE LOVE.. #SPREADTHELUV #BLESSINGSTOALL #WEAREBOUNDEDAS1
Scott Musick (THE CALL's Drummer) is a good friend of mine. He is still an amazing musician after all of these years. He just released a new album this year called AMERICANA GOLD. It is amazing. There is several good songs. My favorite is called "Manana" if you are in the Tulsa Oklahoma area sometimes you can catch him playing around town! Still fantastic!
I'm a product of that era and I had never heard of this song or band. Was a huge Simple Minds fan even! Found it through Radio Paradise on the web. It isn't the first gem I've been introduced to by that station either.
I remember back when I was in college, and one of my friends told me this was a Christian group, and I just said, "NOOOOOOOO!" I had no idea contemporary Christian music could sound this good!!!
Form what I've read about the group nowhere mentions that they are a "Christian group" but then again I don't know much about them so maybe in some of their other songs which I never heard they may have a Christian theme BUT As for this song I can tell this much that it is NOT a Christian song From the lyrics I can tell that they are talking generally about believing in something whether it is the Christian god or some other god or gods or something else Believing generally in something makes as strong and gives as hope or purpose in life and that's why I like this song
@@jackalhead7433 A song doesn't have to flat out bluntly say something for it to be a part of the song. That's the antithesis of artistic expression. I'm not saying it IS DEFINITELY a religious song, I'm saying you're incorrect for trying to say what iIT DEFINITELY IS NOT. Btw, the lyrics do objectively utilize religious imagery and references. "I've been in a cave- for forty days." "This is our crime- this is our sin." Etc. Jesus? 40 days? Desert? Ring any bells? Again, I'm not arguing that it's definitely a religious song, because then I would just be saying my interpretation is right and yours is wrong; making me a hypocrite. But to say there's not an ounce of christian verbiage and references in the lyrics is just plain verifiably wrong. You can disagree with a religious interpretation, but you can't disagree with what the lyrics say.
Des Kehoe Funny because most here in the States at the time actually thought they were British. They were from different states (2 from Oklahoma)but formed in California and were a Northern California band. Michael Been said in an interview “ The Americans thought we were too British...the British thought we were too American.” One of my favorite bands and sounds of all time. Been was a musical genius and songwriter. RIP Michael.
The cover version in "The Lost Boys" didn't do this song justice, but in "Waco" its poignancy resounded. With only a few minutes of power left they play this, and, among the mostly angry FBI, Gary Noesmer's reaction says it all. "With people like us in places like this we need all the hope we can get." Generator out.
yeah, probably because you identify with the message,which is kinda hard to miss--you think if every person was to hear this tune,or one like it with different instruments/different language/etc.,that maybe at least SOME people would be less violent, less depressed, less GREEDY..one can only speculate I guess..
Love this one and Let the Day Begin. Wonderful lyrics, spiritual and deep, more hopeful than anything else. And Michael Been's voice is strong but sweet.
BaBa Booey WOW I didn't know Michael died I seen them back in the nineties when they played their set on acoustic guitars strapped into a couple of effects. the lead guitarist was playing a regular Les Paul and made the same keyboard sound of this song on the chorus part. it sounded so smooth and identical but you could still tell it was a guitar.
I just heard this song for the first time - wow! I really likes Tim Cappello's cover, but this just blew me away as it's full of passion and really tight musicianship. Many thanks for posting this - I'm definitely going to check out the rest of this band's songs.
RIP Michael Been what a band...only good memories! Nostalgia deluxe.... "I still believe through the cold and through the heat...through the crowd and through the cheers!"
This is one of the greatest songs of all time. The 80's were also a great time. Even though it had It's challenges. The only way I'd go back to the 80's. Is if my 1977 Buick Regal would be there waiting for me. Because my mechanic modified the engine for me. He did this for me back then before he retired from his profession. I supplied the High Performance Parts. Just about everyone wanted to buy my car. Sometimes I still think about my Buick. The 1977 Buick Regal were good cars to modify in those days. 1977 Buick Regals were last of the big cars for that year. This is a great song and a cool song to play. Thanks for posting because this is a great band.
HOPE is the start.. FAITH in what is not seen is what seals the deal.. It comes down to the simplistic thought and through the soul of man.. He came as us..A child..He lived, died a death no man has every endured (for all of us.You, Me, Everyone)..His life given was a gift.. It's not forced on us, BUT, we can choose to accept the perfect man's blood for a gift beyond the grave of earth.. The tomb is empty, the body gone.. Isiah predicted it almost 800 years before.. I believe He's coming AGAIN..
My husband Robert and I saw The Call in concert in 1985 at the Celebrity Theater in Phx AZ! We were just married and had recently committed our lives to Christ! Best concert ever! These guys rocked!
Never heard this song before. And I was a 80s music lover. WACO mini series brought me here. LOVE THIS TUNE ! Too much alcohol consumed in 80s that I missed this one. Looks like I have to rewind back. Thank you THE CALL !
Peter Gabriel referred to The Call as the “future of music” and I believe him, I love the Tim Cappello version as well and see his cover of it as carrying out part of that future.
the first band I ever saw...it was in Chicago at the Metro and I think I was 12 or 13...My older sis and her older boyfriend took me and I've been a fan since. Must have been 1989 give or take but this band is truly timeless!

This song is an anchor for me when I'm going through a crisis of faith.
I'm not religious at all. But, this song comforts me when I'm depressed and reminds me to not give up and to keep going.
Saw them open for Simple Minds in San Antonio back in 86. As good as any band I ever saw. Simple Minds were real gracious to them. The Call seemed to have full light and sound. Simple Minds weren't afraid to be showed up. It was a good night.
Jim Kerr was a big the call fan
I saw The Call FOR FREE at Dallas Alley! They BLEW everybody away. I cried. I still cry with this song.
Here because I grew up in the 80's and knew what damn good music was!

I been in a cave
For forty days
Only a spark
To light my way
I wanna give out
I wanna give in
This is our crime
This is our sin
But I still believe
I still believe
Through the pain
And through the grief
Through the lives
Through the storms
Through the cries
And through the wars
Oh, I still believe
Flat on my back
Out at sea
Hopin' these waves
Don't cover me
I'm turned and tossed
Upon the waves
When the darkness comes
I feel the grave
But I still believe
I still believe
Through the cold
And through the heat
Through the rain
And through the tears
Through the crowds
And through the cheers
Oh, I still believe
I'll march this road
I'll climb this hill
Upon on my knees
If I have to
I'll take my place
Up on this stage
I'll wait 'til the end of time
For you like everybody else
I'm out on my own
Walkin' the streets
Look at the faces
That I meet
I feel like I
Like I want to go home
What do I feel
What do I know
But I still believe
I still believe
Through the shame
And through the grief
Through the heartache
Through the tears
Through the waiting
Through the years
For people like us
In places like this
We need all the hope
That we can get
Oh, I still believe

Sad we will never hear that voice again.. R.I P. Michael Been..
Doing laundry at 12:15 am and suddenly had a compulsion to listen to this gem from my 80's college days...I still believe!

Thanks Reservation Dogs for bring this musical memory back to life for me. Ahhhhh the 80s.
In mho one of the most underrated bands of the the 80's. This song should probably be listened to right after listening to "Let The Day Begin". Great way to get your day started. Peace and Blessings to all.

We were just watching WACO on Netflix. Koresh was singing this.
Koresh was the man!!!
His version was better lol
An amazing scene, sucks so bad what happened
Nick Stewart Not a chance.
Best scene in the series
Waco (the miniseries) sent me here. Great song I’ve never heard of until they rock it out for the FBI in the show. A must watch!
Same!! 👍
It was great in the movie
So nice of David Koresh to play the FBI this awesome song while their ears must’ve been tired from listening to all those awful noises all night.
RIP Michael, was so fortunate to see these guys up close and personal at Mississippi Nights back in the day. We all laid hands on each other. Awesomeness.
And The Walls Came Down is me favourite.
THIS is what i need to watch.. THE LOST BOYS!!!
This song still hits hard..
Through all my night clubbing partying days/nights in the '80s I can't believe I missed these guys. They are way ahead of their time.
missteedub SO TRUE
missteedub that is how I got into them, little club in Columbia, South Carolina they played at in my clubbing days.
missteedub you failed big time
Yeah well, this thing called life gets in the way of things sometimes.
I still believe in Jesus. After all the years and tears and ups and downs I've had my faith stands strong!
Jesus is the way the truth the life. Amen
If I was only allowed to listen to one song for the rest of my life, this might be it!
The two times I saw them in the Bay Area was at a club called One Step Beyond. They were so good! Been a fan for years!
this band could still top the charts today!

This has been and always be my VICTORY SONG FOR MYSELF AND KID'S AND HOW WE WILL CONQUER WHATEVER WE FACE... CHALLENGES AND STRUGGLES BUT WE STILL HAVE TO BELIEVE THAT WE MADE IT AND GOT WHERE WE NEEDED TO BE AT AND HAVE PEACE ONCE MY KIDS FATHER LET US LIVE OUR LIVES AND BE TOXIC FREE.... AND WHEN I AM WORKING HARD TO GET US A NEW HOME, I HAVE PAIN CRY SO MANY TEARS EVEN THE DEADLY CRY OF ALL CRIES WHICH IS IN SILENCE I STILL BELIEVE AND HOPE THAT WITH EVERY LAST BREATH I BREATHE MY KIDS AND I WILL BE FINE.... THEN I KNOW I CAN BE AT PEACE ONCE I DEMISE CAUSE THEY WON'T HAVE TO FEAR OF THEM NOT HAVING A HOME AND BEING HOMELESS IN WHICH AT ONE POINT OF MY LIFE I WAS. NO ONE DESERVES TO BE HOMELESS EVEN NOW IN WHAT THIS WORLD IS FACING SO THIS SONG IS VERY RELAVANT TO ME DURING THIS TIME OF NEED. IF ONLY IF ONLY MORE PEOPLE GAVE A DAMN WE MIGHT ALWAYS BE STRUGGLING BECAUSE WE ALL SHOULD BE TOGETHER BOUNDED AS 1......
I HOPE AND PRAY FOR EVERYONE STAYS SAFE AND HEALTHY, HAS FOOD CLOTHING AND SHELTER.... AND IF U CAN PLZ SPREAD THE LUV TO THOSE U SEE WHETHER ITS FOOD, CLOTHING OR EVEN SOMETHING SIMPLE AS SUPPLYING THEM WITH COLD WATER AND A SACK LUNCH LIKE THE WAY I DO AND TEACH MY KIDS... THERE'S A DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A WANT AND A NEED, WE HAVE MORE THEN WHAT OTHER PEOPLE HAVE.... WE REALLY SHOULD BE PRACTICING LUV THY NEIGHBOR AS WE WOULD FOR OURSELVES AS WE DON'T KNOW THERE STRUGGLES OR STORY...EVEN SHARING THIS VIDEO WITH SOMEONE U KNOW NEEDS ENCOURAGING WORDS IT MAY MAKE THEM SMILE AND U MAY HELP THEM ESPECIALLY IF IR OVERWHELMED WITH THINGS...
TAKE CARE AND GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR FAMILY 🙏 PLZ DON'T TAKE THIS COMMENT WRONG OR FEEL THAT I'M LOOKING FOR SYMPATHY... I JUST WANT TO HELP OTHERS TO SPREAD THE LOVE..

Scott Musick (THE CALL's Drummer) is a good friend of mine. He is still an amazing musician after all of these years. He just released a new album this year called AMERICANA GOLD. It is amazing. There is several good songs. My favorite is called "Manana" if you are in the Tulsa Oklahoma area sometimes you can catch him playing around town! Still fantastic!
Check him out on Reverb Nation and buy his new album!!!
Where about in T-Town?
This is an amazing song... I had to go back and listen to it once i saw it was on The Protomen's new record, and im glad i did, this song is great.
I still believe in Jesus!
I'm a product of that era and I had never heard of this song or band. Was a huge Simple Minds fan even! Found it through Radio Paradise on the web. It isn't the first gem I've been introduced to by that station either.
I'm very atheist, but I still like this song 😆 😅
Back in the 1980's Mike and his music was a "Heads Up" message for people to lift their heads and look around.
Tim Cappello's version is pretty good, but this song has that 80's charm that is just undeniable. God this is so good.
The lyrics, the groove, the heart, sublime!
they opened for Simp Minds...great Nite. Mike came back for encore.. Ottawa and hot sweaty nite. felt gooood.
I saw a show with them in Tampa.
I keep remembering Lost Boys....I absolutely love this song!
Another beautiful prayer. Such hope and love,
Yay, the Call are back, with Robert Levon Been on vocals. Wondrous day!
I remember back when I was in college, and one of my friends told me this was a Christian group, and I just said, "NOOOOOOOO!" I had no idea contemporary Christian music could sound this good!!!
It gets more interesting. Before The Call, Michael Been was the bass player for Myrrh Records' house band "a band called David".
Form what I've read about the group nowhere mentions that they are a "Christian group" but then again I don't know much about them so maybe in some of their other songs which I never heard they may have a Christian theme BUT
As for this song I can tell this much that it is NOT a Christian song
From the lyrics I can tell that they are talking generally about believing in something whether it is the Christian god or some other god or gods or something else
Believing generally in something makes as strong and gives as hope or purpose in life and that's why I like this song
@@jackalhead7433 Your interpretation, man.
@@caesarstrings No it's not my interpretation listen to the lyrics
Nowhere says about believing in Jesus or the bible god
@@jackalhead7433 A song doesn't have to flat out bluntly say something for it to be a part of the song. That's the antithesis of artistic expression. I'm not saying it IS DEFINITELY a religious song, I'm saying you're incorrect for trying to say what iIT DEFINITELY IS NOT. Btw, the lyrics do objectively utilize religious imagery and references. "I've been in a cave- for forty days." "This is our crime- this is our sin." Etc. Jesus? 40 days? Desert? Ring any bells? Again, I'm not arguing that it's definitely a religious song, because then I would just be saying my interpretation is right and yours is wrong; making me a hypocrite. But to say there's not an ounce of christian verbiage and references in the lyrics is just plain verifiably wrong. You can disagree with a religious interpretation, but you can't disagree with what the lyrics say.
2019 and I am discovering The Call. Never made it here in the UK but I am loving their stuff
Des Kehoe Funny because most here in the States at the time actually thought they were British. They were from different states (2 from Oklahoma)but formed in California and were a Northern California band. Michael Been said in an interview “ The Americans thought we were too British...the British thought we were too American.” One of my favorite bands and sounds of all time. Been was a musical genius and songwriter. RIP Michael.
@@dtmjax5612 Nice comment.
I know Simple Minds who are still big here cover let the day begin
Shame about Michael
The cover version in "The Lost Boys" didn't do this song justice, but in "Waco" its poignancy resounded. With only a few minutes of power left they play this, and, among the mostly angry FBI, Gary Noesmer's reaction says it all. "With people like us in places like this we need all the hope we can get." Generator out.
This song is perfect
Still hits home
I love this song.....I love this song.....I love this song....etc...
yeah, probably because you identify with the message,which is kinda hard to miss--you think if every person was to hear this tune,or one like it with different instruments/different language/etc.,that maybe at least SOME people would be less violent, less depressed, less GREEDY..one can only speculate I guess..
Michael!
So perfect , so powerful !
Late 86 early 87. Still rocking it now in 2022
Love this one and Let the Day Begin. Wonderful lyrics, spiritual and deep, more hopeful than anything else. And Michael Been's voice is strong but sweet.
Yeah R.I.P Michael Been - I saw them at My Father's Place on Long Island -- cool show!
BaBa Booey WOW I didn't know Michael died I seen them back in the nineties when they played their set on acoustic guitars strapped into a couple of effects. the lead guitarist was playing a regular Les Paul and made the same keyboard sound of this song on the chorus part. it sounded so smooth and identical but you could still tell it was a guitar.

I just heard this song for the first time - wow! I really likes Tim Cappello's cover, but this just blew me away as it's full of passion and really tight musicianship. Many thanks for posting this - I'm definitely going to check out the rest of this band's songs.
RIP Michael Been what a band...only good memories! Nostalgia deluxe....
"I still believe through the cold and through the heat...through the crowd and through the cheers!"
This is one of the greatest songs of all time. The 80's were also a great time. Even though it had It's challenges. The only way I'd go back to the 80's. Is if my 1977 Buick Regal would be there waiting for me. Because my mechanic modified the engine for me. He did this for me back then before he retired from his profession. I supplied the High Performance Parts. Just about everyone wanted to buy my car. Sometimes I still think about my Buick. The 1977 Buick Regal were good cars to modify in those days. 1977 Buick Regals were last of the big cars for that year. This is a great song and a cool song to play. Thanks for posting because this is a great band.
this feels like a song that should have an awesome video with it.
Lost Boys comes to mind before Waco for us! :)
Great song.
HOPE is the start.. FAITH in what is not seen is what seals the deal.. It comes down to the simplistic thought and through the soul of man.. He came as us..A child..He lived, died a death no man has every endured (for all of us.You, Me, Everyone)..His life given was a gift.. It's not forced on us, BUT, we can choose to accept the perfect man's blood for a gift beyond the grave of earth.. The tomb is empty, the body gone.. Isiah predicted it almost 800 years before.. I believe He's coming AGAIN..
Soo many memories with this song growing up....missing good ole So Cal.
My husband Robert and I saw The Call in concert in 1985 at the Celebrity Theater in Phx AZ! We were just married and had recently committed our lives to Christ! Best concert ever! These guys rocked!
Never heard this song before. And I was a 80s music lover. WACO mini series brought me here. LOVE THIS TUNE ! Too much alcohol consumed in 80s that I missed this one. Looks like I have to rewind back. Thank you THE CALL !
So.... you never saw Lost Boys?
Completely relevant in today's times...
Still. Epic!
Very powerful lyrics. What a song!

LOL...Damn it, after clicking on this and hearing it again, I nearly choked.
I thought the same exact thing! GET TO DA CHOPPA!
BMWHEY
CAN'T. STOP. LAUGHING!
I'm glad I'm not the only one that thought this....
Peter Gabriel referred to The Call as the “future of music” and I believe him, I love the Tim Cappello version as well and see his cover of it as carrying out part of that future.
It’s a good song ,…I put a thumbs up 👍🏽
the first band I ever saw...it was in Chicago at the Metro and I think I was 12 or 13...My older sis and her older boyfriend took me and I've been a fan since. Must have been 1989 give or take but this band is truly timeless!
Great sound..loved them for years and years..evocative
Powerful, inspirational and absolutely fricken beautiful!
