The Call- Getting updated on the band.

(Cover of their 1st, self titled album)
I have joined Facebook and I found a page their dedicated to The Call which was my favorite band up until U2 came out with All That You Can't Leave Behind and U2 went from #2 to #1. I have tried in the past to find out about what The Call has been up to online but my searches turned up almost nothing.

From Facebook I discovered some later albums that I didn't know about, found some You Tube Video's, and even a fan website and Wikipedia page that I never knew existed. I went to Amazon and will be updating my collection of their music.

Here is a taste:
I Still Believe from the album Reconciled


I think I Still Believe was the first Call song I ever heard and I was drawn in as much by the lyrics as the music.

The lyrics:
I've 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 the grief
Through the lies
Through the storms
Through the cries
And through the wars
Oh, i still believe

Flat on my back
Out a 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
Down 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

Wake everybody up

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
