I'm 36 and live with my wife and my 3-year old twins in Berlin. My greatest hobby, making or working with music, is now my job. I'm specialized in music/songs for children and cleanig up audiofiles from vinyl and tape to the so-called "CD-Quality". I have been a Chris-de-Burgh-Fan since the Mid-80's. The music of CdeB was and is the center of my musical interest and "Revolution" was the song that started me playing the guitar. I chose "Call My Name" because war has always been a dominating topic in the work of CdeB. Almost every song I wrote or write is something inspired by CdeB. "Call My Name" is something special, because it goes back to 1986 when I first heard the Song "Say Goodbye To It All". It is one of my favourites, especially played live with full band. I couldn't get the line "...We came to Juno, Omaha and Gold..." out of my mind. I had no idea, what these names stood for. So I was interested. More than 10 years later I visited the D-Day museum in Bayeux, France and there I saw a letter written by a GI. I was very impressed by the words he wrote to his wife and little child he left in a village or little town near LA. I re-recorded this Version of "Call My Name" with my friend Frank Scholz especially for the CdeB-Inspired-Song-Contest. Enjoy! Lyrics: Time goes on, there is no doubt You are the one I had a vision, a family in luck But now it's gone I hear my country I have to go I have to finish the bitter war I never thought that I could miss the desert of L.A. Goodbye I leave my country I save the world Stars and stripes take care of me I hear your cry but I have to go Stay at your window Please call my name Wait until the day comes I'll be back, and then darling we will be free Close your eyes, believe what you see Tomorrow the hell Of Omaha and Gold I hold your picture I talk to you At the end the last goodbye I hear your cry but I have to fight Stay at your window Please call my name Wait until the day comes I'll be back, And then darling we will be free Close your eyes, believe what you see I see bibles, I see tears I see blood in the sand I hear thunder, I hear crying I hear voices from beyond Stay in California Take care of our child Remember me when everything is over And then darling I will be free Close your eyes, believe what you see Yes only believe in the hopes of your dreams Stay
