Calling You
George Michael · Five Live EP
A desert road
From Vegas to nowhere
Some place better than where you've been
A coffee machine that needs some fixing
In a little cafe
Just around the bend
(I am calling you)
Can't you hear me?
(I am calling you)
Oh whoa.....
(I am calling you)
Can't you hear me?
(I am calling you)
A desert road
From Vegas to nowhere
Some place better than where you've been
A coffee machine that needs some fixing
In a little cafe
Just around the bend
A hot dry wind
Blows right through me
The baby's coming, so I can't sleep
But we both know a change is coming
Coming closer
Sweet release
(I am calling you)
Can't you hear me?
(I am calling you)
Ooh Whoa.....
Oh no, no, no
A desert road
From Vegas to nowhere
From Vegas to nowhere
Some place better than where you've been
A coffee machine that needs some fixing
In a little cafe
Just around the bend
(I am calling you)
Can't you hear me?
(I am calling you)
Oh whoa.....
(I am calling you)
Can't you hear me?
(I am calling you)
A desert road
From Vegas to nowhere
Some place better than where you've been
A coffee machine that needs some fixing
In a little cafe
Just around the bend
A hot dry wind
Blows right through me
The baby's coming, so I can't sleep
But we both know a change is coming
Coming closer
Sweet release
(I am calling you)
Can't you hear me?
(I am calling you)
Ooh Whoa.....
Oh no, no, no
A desert road
From Vegas to nowhere
Calling You
Released as part of George Michael's Five Live EP, "Calling You" stands as a poignant example of his late-career vocal prowess and emotional depth. The track showcases Michael's signature blend of R&B sensibilities and pop accessibility, characterized by his distinctive falsetto and intimate delivery. While the song does not appear on his major studio albums, it reflects the continued relevance of his discography during the early 2000s. The recording captures the essence of Michael's ability to convey personal longing and vulnerability, a hallmark of his work that resonated with audiences long after his initial rise to fame with Wham!.
