  • he was from the Santa Cruz mtrs..The Grreat and Only San Lorenzo Valley if i remember well...........it was the dust from the redwoods that got him, i heard.............him and Tim Buckley..........

  • great tune, great band.... Been had a great voice, soulful and warm...

    red moon is very good album.... i bought it in the early 90s and now and then over the years i have listened to it, and each time i feel good inside when listen to it, i strongly recommend it... it sad there is not more videos on You Tube with this band,like official videos for singles and such, if someone has something lying around please upload it, that would be nice :)

  • Saw the Call a few times in the 80's. I was there for this show. I too, looked around and wondered how many of these young folk knew what they were truly witnessing. A poet. A prophet. Rest in peace, Michael. I'll see you in the Big Town...

  • I just heard on FaceBook that he passed away and to a better place. His lyrics have so much meaning and depth, nothing shallow and his voice is so powerful....He will be greatly missed......R.I.P.

  • Michael Been, lead singer of THE CALL, passed away of an apparent heart attack on August 19,2010.

  • Wish there was a better quality video of this song up. Such a great song. RIP, Michael Been.

  • This song was originally sung w/ Bono on the original track. How is there no video of " I dont wanna" on You Tube? To me that is Michael Been and The Call at their very finest. Such powerful emotion in that song. Haunts me still 20+ years later.

  • I'm every DJ's worst nightmare "educated consumer", fortunately I made friends with them and got lots of The Call played. This song still kills me!! I even forgive Tango and Cash...Let the Day Begin..

  • it seems as if the young crowd here has no idea of what it is they are actually witnessing (which is one of THE greatest lyrical bands of the last 30 years). Not many bands if ANY, can write like Michael. The Call>>> tight musically, deep lyrically...awesome and powerful all around... UNIQUE in every aspect!

  • Saw them in Santa Cruz in 1990. Unforgettable, just like their songs.

  • nice song

    i really like it

  • Nice job cannyshark - This great stuff! Bring back The Call!

  • Yeah...I wish they had received more attention. I like it 2
